Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 65

Chapter 065 Mantis Catching Cicada
Yun Xiao and Chun Lan stared at the rampaging carriage without blinking!

They were only hoping that the carriage could hit their own carriage. Only in this way could the carriage slow down and rush into the river not far away!

The two of them held their breath and focused. Yun Xiao’s gaze was constantly moving on the carriage and the carriage she was in. Suddenly, her eyes blinked a few times, and a wisp of frustration appeared in the depths of her eyes.

She had just calculated the distance between the two carriages. Clearly, before the carriage rushed over, the carriage they were in had already deviated from this path! Not to mention the pursuers!

Taking a deep breath, Yun Xiao made up her mind in her eyes. When the horse was shocked and swung its tail, she saw the right moment. The moment the horse’s tail was closest to her, she quickly grabbed the horse’s tail and fiercely pulled it in her direction!

Chun Lan widened her eyes in surprise. She never thought that her own girl would think of such a method. However, Yun Xiao was a woman after all, and she did not have much strength on her body, so she did not do much harm to the horse.

Chun Lan immediately reached out her hand and pulled the horse’s tail together with Yun Xiao. The horse suddenly stretched out its hind hooves and kicked backwards under the pain. In this moment of delay, the horse’s speed finally slowed down.

At this time, the two of them finally looked to the left. However, when they saw the situation clearly, Yun Xiao only felt the smell of blood rising from her heart.

Seeing that the horse was about to crash into him, the coachman in the carriage acted like lightning and stabbed a long sword into the running horse’s body in an instant.

The carriage was pulled by two horses, and at this moment one horse suddenly died, and the other horse was brought to the side by the horse that had suddenly fallen.

The living horse fell on all fours and its four hooves slid a few times in the air. Finally, it stood up again, but the carriage had stopped completely at this moment.

The place where the carriage stopped was only a foot away from the carriage he was in, but all his efforts were in vain.

The two carriages missed each other, and the horse was frightened. It lifted its four hooves and rushed towards the river water, but at this moment, it was only ten zhang away from the river water!

Chun Lan looked at everything in front of her and only had one thought in her heart-it was over.

She reached out her hand and quickly grabbed Yun Xiao’s shoulders. She smiled softly at Yun Xiao and said, “Miss, take care!”

After she finished speaking, she used all of her strength and was about to push Yun Xiao out of the carriage.

As long as they got off the carriage, they would still be able to survive. Even if they were seriously injured, they would still have a chance of surviving. However, if they fell into the river water in front of them, they would never be able to survive again.

That river was a living water river. The water flowed extremely fast. Neither of them knew how to water. They would be washed away by the water before they could even climb onto the shore. They would die in the river!

Yun Xiao did not expect Chun Lan to make such a decision at this moment. One of her hands grabbed the door frame with lightning speed, while the other hand grabbed Chun Lan’s wrist. The corner of her mouth curled into a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, we won’t die.”

Chun Lan was stunned. She did not understand why Yun Xiao was able to calm down at such a time!

In that instant, a long sword flew out of another carriage and pierced straight into the neck of the horse where Yun Xiao was. Blood flowed like a gushing stream. The horse let out a scream and its body went soft.

Although there was no horse’s traction, the speed of the carriage was only slightly reduced at this moment, but there was no intention of stopping in the slightest.

“Plop!” With a loud sound, the carriage fell into the river.

At this moment, the carriage stopped on the road. The carriage curtain had already been lifted by a large hand with distinct joints, revealing only a pure white jade-like chin that was extremely exquisite and shaped. Just this hand and chin alone could arouse endless fantasies.

He opened and closed his thin lips, and his voice was indifferent, as if nothing could stir up a ripple. “Are those two dead?”

Until now, he had some feelings for the scene he had seen before. He could tell that it was a pair of masters and servants, even though the maid was wearing the clothes of the master.

Before dying, the worst side of humans would appear, and they would first consider whether or not they could survive.

That maid clearly had a chance to survive, but she wanted to push Yun Xiao to live. However, Yun Xiao was unwilling to leave. Instead, she wanted to die together with the maidservant. This pair of maidservants was really strange.

However, at the same time, there was also a trace left in his heart. It seemed that no one was willing to die for him like that maidservant, right?

“I’m afraid the two of them are unlucky now,” said the coachman in the same voice as his master, as if nothing could enter his eyes.

The bony hand moved, then closed the curtain. The temperature in the carriage suddenly dropped, and the murderous intent in the low voice grew imperceptible. “I’ve lost a horse, so let them use their lives to accompany me.”

Suddenly, the coachman changed the subject. He did not make any ripples and only replied respectfully, “Yes, Master.”

With that, his body flew away like a ghost. Soon, he arrived in front of the black-clothed men who were chasing after him. He did not know how he moved, but the three black-clothed men who were riding on tall horses had already landed on the ground.

After a short moment, he turned around and returned to the carriage. “Master, you’ve already dealt with it.” He stood respectfully in front of the carriage.

The carriage was completely silent. The man’s large hand that was clearly knotted brushed past the porcelain bottle in his hand. The moonlight came in and sliced through his chin. The corner of his mouth hooked into a sinister smile and he raised it slightly. “Let’s go.”

The coachman sat on the carriage and did not object to the man’s orders. He raised the reins high and lashed out fiercely. The horse’s hooves sounded and in a short moment, it disappeared from the river.

The bone-piercing cold swept into every part of their bodies. Yun Xiao and Chun Lan’s bodies were still immersed in the river water, and the temperature of their bodies gradually disappeared.

The November weather was already cold, but at night it was even colder.

Chun Lan did not know how to swim. She struggled hard in the river for a few times, but the strength of her struggle was getting smaller and smaller. She was also slowly letting go of Yun Xiao’s tightly held hand.

At this moment, Yun Xiao finally let go of her hand that was tightly supporting the door frame. Her body pulled Chun Lan out of the carriage door with extreme flexibility and swam towards the shore not far away with her.

Yun Xiao stretched out her head and looked towards the shore. The surroundings were completely silent. There was nothing but an occasional cicada cry. The carriage and the black-clothed man were all gone. Only the remaining three horses were eating their youth on the ground.

Yun Xiao’s eyes suddenly darkened, because she suddenly noticed that there were three dark red spots under the three horses. Her heart trembled. Just as she did not hear any sounds of fighting underwater, the black-clothed men who were chasing after them disappeared.

From this, it could be seen how frightening the people in the carriage were. Yun Xiao’s heart was filled with a trace of happiness.

It took her a lot of effort to drag Chun Lan from the water to the shore. However, Chun Lan did not know how to water. The weather was cold and she had fainted.

Yun Xiao continuously squeezed Chun Lan’s stomach with her small hand. After Chun Lan spat out all the water she had drunk, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.

However, before he could breathe out, Her body stiffened right there. A long sword glowing with silver light suddenly appeared under Yun Xiao’s neck. A wisp of cold light reflected from the moonlight shining on the sword’s body just pierced into Yun Xiao’s eyes. She felt a wisp of bone-piercing cold penetrating her entire body. It was even colder than her body that had just been soaked in cold water and blown away by the cold wind.

Yun Xiao tilted her eyes and looked to her side. The person dressed in black was standing on her side. That person’s entire body was tightly wrapped in black. Even if her eyes were covered with something, she could not tell who this person was.

However, what surprised Yun Xiao was that the person holding the longsword was not tall, but rather slightly petite.

Yun Xiao quickly calmed herself down and snorted coldly, “Who are you?” If he wasn’t wrong, this person had obviously followed him along the way. He watched as the black-clothed men chased after him and saw him fall into the water. After the black-clothed man died, he saved Chun Lan and was about to relax when he received a fatal blow.

Every link in the middle was deducted very cleverly. If there was a mistake, people would notice his existence.

Yun Xiao did not know when such a fierce person had actually stared at her in the capital. It was as if she had been stared at by a wolf.

The black-clothed man snorted coldly. He could not hear anything strange in his cold voice, “Let’s go!”

Yun Xiao frowned slightly. It was actually a man’s voice. Her eyes fell on the black-clothed man again, and a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes.

She didn’t ask too much. She reached out with one hand to grab the sword and pushed it back a bit. Then she stood up. Only then did she have time to wring the water off her skirt. She wasn’t afraid of the sword on her neck.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?” The black-clothed man’s voice carried an undetectable inquiry.

Yun Xiao curled her lips and smiled, “Naturally, I’m afraid. However, before death comes, I’m even more afraid of the cold.”

Her clothes were all wet by the river water. The wind blew and she felt her body become even colder.

The black-clothed man’s sword landed on Yun Xiao’s neck, piercing through a bit of her skin, revealing traces of blood. The blood droplets landed on the long sword that glowed with cold light, coupled with that palm-sized face, it was a bit more tempting than usual.

Chun Lan slowly woke up. After blinking her eyebrows gently, she was stunned for a moment, as if she did not believe that she was still alive.

He raised his eyebrows and saw the blood droplets on the sword slowly slide down the sword, and his mind was instantly lifted up.

Chun Lan’s breathing unconsciously increased a little. She suddenly reached out her hand and fiercely pushed the black-clothed man at the right angle. This time, she used all of her strength to shout out, “Young lady, run!”

Even so, the black-clothed man only slightly tilted his body and avoided Chun Lan’s attack. He looked at Yun Xiao, who was standing beside him, and his tone was already filled with ridicule. “I didn’t expect that Fourth Young Lady’s maidservant would be so loyal.”
