Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The sky was a little overcast, and everything was gray. The sharp cold wind whistled past, cutting every inch of the air.

Cheng Wan was wearing a lupine blue hat and a feather satin cape, riding a horse through the path in the woods. The horse's hooves touched the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

But behind Cheng Wan, there was no sign of the birthday celebration group.

Keep a distance from the birthday celebration group and walk separately.

This was the best way Cheng Wan could think of to avoid implicating the people in the birthday celebration group if another enemy attacked.

Cheng Wan knew that Gu Yan put up the sign of the birthday celebration group in order to make the enemy afraid to act rashly and allow her to return to Beijing smoothly.

The birthday celebration delegation did play its due role.

If the previous group of killers had not dared to disturb the birthday party without permission, it would have been impossible for her to kill them all like monkeys.

But now things have changed.

This time, there is another prince who wants to kill her.

And it seemed that the prince did not want to give up easily in taking her life.

Compared with the true royal family, what are her lives and those of the common people worth?

If there are still killers behind, it means that the new killers or the masters behind the killers no longer care about disturbing the birthday party.

Cheng Wan really didn't dare and didn't have the heart to gamble with the lives of the people in the birthday party.

Their lives are no less valuable than anyone else's.

Their lives should be valued and cherished.

"Jinjin, are Thirteen and the others following us?"

"Still following."

Cheng Wan pulled the corners of his lips, there was no smile in his eyes, only the calmness of understanding everything.

Cheng Wan controlled the speed of her horse, making sure she didn't get too far away from the birthday party, nor did she let Thirteen and the others get too far away from her.

Fortunately, with Jin Jin around, it wasn't difficult for Cheng Wan to control the speed he wanted.

Cheng Wan continued to move forward at this moderate pace for about two quarters of an hour. Just when everything seemed to be fine, Jin Jin's urgent voice suddenly rang out in Cheng Wan's mind: "Master!"

Cheng Wan's eyes darkened, and the hand under his cloak instantly gripped the hilt of the knife: "How many people?"

"Twenty! Master, another twenty!"

"Heh!" Cheng Wan scoffed, his calmness instantly shattered by a thick layer of violence and murderous intent. His deep eyes were even colder than the gray sky. "You really think highly of me."

Cheng Wan didn't know that the twenty people who came this time were different from the twenty people who came last time.

The twenty people last time were all Prince Jing's secret guards, but this time the twenty people were half secret guards and half bodyguards.

Truly qualified secret guards are not easy to come by; each master needs to spend a lot of financial and material resources to train them.

The dispatch of a total of thirty secret guards to kill Cheng Wan has somewhat disrupted Prince Jing's manpower deployment.

No more.

"Whoosh-!"

"Whoosh-!"

"Whoosh-!"

"Master, be careful!"

The sharp sound of the arrow and Jin Jin's scream rang out at the same time, and Cheng Wan easily blocked the long arrow shot at him.

And these three arrow shots completely kicked off a bloody prelude.

Cheng Wan ripped off his cloak, which was in the way. The smile on his face was as bright as the bloodthirsty look in his eyes: "Jinjin! You're alive again!"

A hundred meters away, Shan Qing's cold and ruthless eyes were fixed on Cheng Wan, and he made a sharp gesture to indicate "continue".

Immediately afterwards, several arrows shot towards Cheng Wan from different directions.

Cheng Wan immediately dismounted and, with the help of the horse's shape and his own skills, dodged this round of attack again.

However, the horse that accompanied Cheng Wan all the way was not so lucky.

The horse was frightened and raised its front hooves, and an arrow hit the horse's eye.

With a "bang", the horse fell to the ground. Cheng Wan no longer had a "shield" to cover his body, so he could only quickly move behind a big tree to hide temporarily.

"Jinjin, have Thirteen and the others started fighting?"

There was no birthday party here, and Thirteen and the others' target of protection happened to be her. Cheng Wan didn't believe that Thirteen and the others could watch her fight twenty people alone.
