Thinking of this, Jiang Lige slowly let go of Jiang Chuchu's hand, pressed his red eyes, and spoke in a slow tone.

"That Prince Zhao really makes me angry."

After hearing this, Jiang Chuchu tried hard not to laugh and pretended to be worried.

"But sister, this is a marriage granted by the Emperor, so we can't make it too awkward. The person who was following us has already left with the Crown Prince. Now that we know his whereabouts, why don't we go and explain to the Crown Prince Zhao to avoid damaging the friendship between our two countries?"

Jiang Lige knew what Jiang Chuchu was planning, but he still chose to do the same as in his previous life and nodded reluctantly.

"Well, let's go for a walk."

Jiang Chuchu nodded quickly, then pulled Jiang Lige into the carriage and headed towards the dense forest.

This time was no different from the previous life. As soon as the two entered the dense forest, they encountered a large number of people chasing them with knives. There were obvious traces of fighting, and the smell of blood almost filled the entire dense forest. Ning Yunxiao was nowhere to be seen.

The two were terrified and hurriedly hid in the cracks of the stone wall, carefully observing the movements around them.

After the men in black ran away, Jiang Chuchu nervously held Jiang Lige's hand and gave him serious instructions.

"Sister, we have to leave here quickly! But if we run together, we'll be too conspicuous. Let's run separately. Whoever finds reinforcements first can notify the government to come back and rescue us! Sister, go east. There are fewer people there, and the trees are thick, making it easier to hide."

As expected, Jiang Chuchu showed her the same path as in her previous life.

I have to say that Jiang Chuchu's acting skills are indeed good.

In such a critical moment, she did not forget to free up her hands to pretend to protect herself. She really played the role of a "good sister" to perfection!

I can’t blame myself for my past life, as I was fooled by her and didn’t know her true face until the last moment of my life!

Tears welled up in Jiang Chuchu's eyes. She thought Jiang Lige was afraid and reluctant to leave, but only Jiang Lige herself knew that it was anger that she was trying hard to suppress.

"Okay, that's all we can do. Be careful on your journey, Chuchu."

"Don't worry, sister!"

After saying this, Jiang Chuchu left the cave.

Jiang Lige watched the figure in the pure white Liuxian dress disappear into the distance, and after calming down, he had come up with a plan.

Jiang Chuchu deliberately lured Jiang Lige into the game in order to use the thief to take her life. Even if she was lucky enough to survive, she would be branded as an "unclean person" by staying overnight outside the palace and making a little effort.

However, this problem is not unsolvable.

In his previous life, Jiang Lige had heard the story of Ning Yunxiao who escaped unscathed from an assassination attempt by hundreds of people at least ten times, so he naturally knew where he had been injured and was hiding from the pursuers.

In the previous life, Jiang Chuchu was able to save Ning Yunxiao and ask for repayment for the favor. Why can't Jiang Lige do the same in this life?

With a plan in mind, Jiang Lige quietly left the cave and, according to his memories of his previous life, quietly avoided the pursuers and headed all the way to the highest point of the jungle.

Sure enough, Ning Yunxiao was found in the crevice of the mountains.

Ning Yunxiao, dressed in black, was lying in a pool of blood, his fair and handsome face still stained with blood.

The moonlight was cold, casting a condensed halo on him, which had a breathtaking beauty.

Ning Yunxiao was very handsome, Jiang Lige knew this in his previous life, but this was the first time he had observed him so closely.

Ning Yunxiao was now seriously injured and fainted in a state of unconsciousness. The dart pierced his chest directly, just a little distance away from his heart.

Just a little bit, Jiang Lige only needs to push the dart to the side, and the dart will pierce Ning Yunxiao's heart, and no medicine will be able to cure it.

Although Ning Luyang is hateful, Jiang Lige has not forgotten him.

Ning Yunxiao was the beginning of Nanchu's gradual decline.

At first, it was Ning Yunxiao who proposed the idea of merging with Nanchu, and it was Ning Yunxiao who led the army to defeat Nanchu's army.

Who would have thought that in the last step, Ning Luyang would collude with the Poxiao royal family to intercept the plan.

Otherwise, the person who confronted her at the city gate that day might have been Ning Yunxiao.

If... Ning Yunxiao died, would that stop the signs of Nanchu's demise at the source?

While he was daydreaming, Su Bai's hand had already slowly grasped the dart, and the sharp edge scratched the skin on his palm, but Jiang Lige was still unaware.

"Stab! Stab!"

There seemed to be countless voices shouting in my ears, mixed with the wailing of the people of Southern Chu, which was extremely shrill.

"Ning Yunxiao is the only one in the world who can save the people of Nanchu."

However, amidst the struggle between heaven and man, Queen Xu's solemn reminder once again emerged in his mind.

Jiang Lige was so frightened that he let go of the dart with both hands as if it were burned, and fell to the ground, anger and helplessness surging in his heart.

She doesn't understand!

why!

Why should we put the future of Nanchu in the hands of Ning Yunxiao?

A Prince Sheng Ling!

Before Jiang Lige could recover from his almost out-of-control emotions, he saw Ning Yunxiao, who had been lying sickly on the ground just now, stand up, his peach blossom eyes filled with wariness and alienation.

"who are you?"

The cold questioning made Jiang Lige react quickly...

Ning Yunxiao didn't faint, she was just testing her!

If she had really taken action just now, not only would she have failed, but she would have also lost her life!

Jiang Lige was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He did not dare to be careless when facing Ning Yunxiao's questioning.

"You're awake? Great!"

Jiang Lige exclaimed in surprise, his eyes fell on the dart and his smile faded again. He stammered:

"I'm not indifferent to the danger... I just... I just don't dare to pull it out."

"Why is the girl out alone in the middle of the night?"

"Something unexpected happened." Jiang Lige blushed shyly, but was unwilling to say more.

Before Ning Yunxiao could reply, he heard the sound of messy footsteps and armor clashing slowly approaching on the forest path separated only by a cluster of thorns.

Judging from the noise, there are probably no less than ten people.

Jiang Lige had no martial arts skills, so he subconsciously covered his mouth with his hand, holding his breath and waiting for the thief to pass by, but he heard a crisp sound from Ning Yunxiao's feet.

"Squeak—"

The thief shouted, "Who?!"

There was no time to think about the temptation in it. Following the thief's shout, Jiang Lige made a quick decision, grabbed Ning Yunxiao's hand and ran away.

"Hurry up, if you get caught you'll be dead."

The thieves were chasing them relentlessly, and Ning Yunxiao was quite cooperative. He and Jiang Lige ran around in twists and turns, and managed to keep a safe distance between them.

As luck would have it, as the distance between them was getting farther, Ning Yunxiao slipped and fell to the ground, with no intention of getting up.

"My injuries haven't healed yet, I'm afraid I can't leave. You go."

Now Jiang Lige can be sure that Ning Yunxiao did it on purpose!

What he said just now did not make Ning Yunxiao let go of his grudge, so he made the subsequent test.

Ning Yunxiao is suspicious by nature and is willing to take risks. He even dares to take advantage of opportunities in such a critical moment.

If Jiang Lige fails to handle the situation well this time, it will be almost impossible for him to gain Ning Yunxiao's trust again!
