The remaining man, after witnessing the tragic plight of his companion, could not help but tremble all over, unable to believe the woman's determination and cruelty.

After being stabbed by Xiao Zhixue several times in a row, he was completely in a situation where life was worse than death, and finally ended his painful life in an extreme way.

Xiao Zhixue didn't care about it, and her cold snort revealed her contempt and disdain for the weak.

The last surviving man was filled with great panic and confusion.

Who exactly is she?

Why does he know so much about Dong Chu's spies?

These questions were like a fog, shrouding his mind and lingering.

Just as her fingers were about to touch the tip of the sword, the air seemed to freeze and a subtle sense of tension spread.

Gu Fei's expression became extremely resolute. Although he was facing an opponent with a much greater strength than Xiao Zhixue, his determination to protect the young master did not waver in the slightest.

Sweat slowly dripped down his temples. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, his muscles tensed with force, as if silently telling of his indomitable spirit.

"Miss Xiao, we don't interfere with each other. If you force your way in, don't blame me for being rude!"

Although Gu Fei's voice was a little trembling, it revealed a tenacity that could not be ignored.

However, Xiao Zhixue just smiled lightly, with a hint of disdain and ridicule in her smile, as if she had seen through that all his resistance was in vain.

"Gu Fei, I have no intention of being your enemy. I only care about the people in the car. I don't want to waste time here unless it is necessary."

Her tone was calm, yet it revealed an irresistible majesty.

She slowly withdrew her hand and turned her gaze to Fan Yanmu, her tone more negotiating: "Brother Fan, please look after this place for me. I promise that I have no ill will towards him, I just want to make sure the child is safe."

Fan Yanmu nodded, his eyes still cold, but underneath that coldness, there was tacit approval of Xiao Zhixue's actions.

He walked towards the injured man and said in a deep voice: "Move, and you won't have to worry about whether your tongue is long enough."

At the same time, Xiao Zhixue turned around and walked towards the carriage with light steps.

Every step Gu Fei took backwards was heavy and cautious. The stone pavement under his feet seemed to respond to his inner trembling, until his strong back touched the cold wooden wall of the carriage, with nowhere to hide.

"Who are you? Please keep your distance and don't get close to my young master!"

Gu Fei's voice was mixed with determination and worry that could not be ignored. He stared at the two mysterious people in front of him, trying to use his body to block any potential threats.

Xiao Zhixue kept silent and answered with actions. With a light push, Gu Fei lost his balance.

He staggered and finally sat down on the ground helplessly. Amid the flying dust, his eyes were still fixed on the woman who was gradually approaching the carriage.

Seeing Xiao Zhixue about to step into the carriage, Gu Fei became extremely anxious. He quickly struggled to get up, ignoring the dust all over his body, and prepared to chase after her.

At this critical moment, Fan Yanmu flashed by like a black shadow, eliminated the last obstructionist, and strode across Gu Fei, like an iron wall that was insurmountable.

Gu Fei was extremely anxious. If the young master's safety fell into the hands of these two mysterious people, the consequences would be disastrous.

Recalling the brutal methods the two had displayed before, he knew very well that a head-on confrontation would be like hitting a rock with an egg.

My own safety is a small matter. If something happens to me, who will ensure that the young master can reach his destination safely?

"Please do me a favor and don't hurt my young master!"

There was an undisguised fear in Gu Fei's words, and the hilt of the sword in his hand trembled slightly unconsciously due to nervousness, reflecting his extreme inner uneasiness.

Fan Yanmu looked at Gu Fei with deep eyes, like a falcon that could see through everything.

The Ziwu Orders they carried undoubtedly showed that the people in the car were extraordinary and were most likely relatives or secret envoys of the garrison commander Gu Huairen.

Fan Yanmu thought to himself that if his judgment was correct, this was General Gu Huairen's territory.

"Excuse me, what is your young master's name? What is your relationship with Gu Huairen?"

Gu Fei was surprised that the other party actually knew the name of their general, but seeing that the other party was mixing with the refugees and did not look wealthy at all, he felt doubtful.

How did this person get to know the general?

He asked cautiously, "What is your name? Why would I reveal such an important matter to a stranger who intends to seize the Ziwu Order?"

Especially when thinking of the scene of seizing the order just now, Gu Fei kept his mouth shut.

At this moment, the crucial Zi Wuling was lying quietly in Gu Tingxuan's arms, and Xiao Zhixue had quietly entered the carriage.

When he thought of this, Gu Fei's heart felt like it was on fire. He was extremely anxious and felt helpless for a moment.

Inside the car, Xiao Zhixue noticed the hideous arrow behind Gu Tingxuan. Blood was trickling out, seemingly constantly consuming the vitality of the young life.

What's worse is that the arrow was coated with a deadly poison. Gu Tingxuan's face had gradually turned gray, like a skyline covered by dark clouds, exuding an ominous aura.

Knowing that time was running out, Xiao Zhixue decisively lifted the car curtain and shouted to Fan Yanmu: "The situation is urgent, I must treat his wound immediately, please make sure there is no interference around the car door!"

Fan Yanmu peeked at the scene inside the car through the gap in the curtain, his expression changed slightly, and then he nodded solemnly, obviously realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Gu Fei's heart tightened when he heard the voice. Without thinking too much, he wanted to rush into the carriage to check on the young master's condition, but was stopped by Fan Yanmu again.

With tears in his eyes, Gu Fei almost begged and shouted into the car: "Don't touch him, get out of here, let me see him!"

Xiao Zhixue turned a deaf ear to Gu Fei's protests and took out a sharp scalpel and a small bottle of anesthetic from the exquisite bag she carried with her.

First, he let Gu Tingxuan take a specially made detoxification pill, and then he gently and accurately applied anesthetic on his scarred back.

As the drug took effect, she slowly and steadily pulled out the arrow that was deeply embedded in her flesh, and the air was filled with a hint of solemnity and hope.

Perhaps it was because the precious and rare detoxification drug had exerted its maximum effect, and Gu Tingxuan slowly returned to consciousness as if he had been in another world. He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, his vision wavering between blurry and clear.

There seemed to be an unusual atmosphere in the carriage. He instinctively thought that it was his follower Gu Fei who had quietly returned. He was about to call out, but unexpectedly a surge of severe pain suddenly attacked him from his back, instantly drowning all his thoughts.

"hiss--"

He couldn't help but gasp, his facial features almost twisted in pain.

He turned his neck with difficulty, and his sight finally focused on Xiao Zhixue, who was concentrating and nervous beside him.
