"Hold tight."

Lu Che tightened his embrace, held Tao Yao in his arms, tightened the reins again, and increased the speed of the horse.

But the man clinging to the roof had strong internal strength. No matter how Lu Che shook the carriage, he remained as steady as a rock.

Tao Yao couldn't bear it any longer, so she turned her head and vomited.

"Stop it. I told you, I don't want to take anyone's life. I just want to take those who need to be taken away safely."

The voice from above slowly descended, along with the falling petals. Silver bells rang, and a touch of bright red fluttered down from the night sky, like a nimble butterfly, piercing through the clouds and mist, landing on the road ahead.

She was a graceful woman with a flower basket hanging on her arm. She casually grabbed a handful of petals from the basket and threw them towards the carriage, scattering thousands of red petals.

The woman raised her hand and gently lifted her veil, smiling sweetly at Tao Yao.

Tao Yao was surprised, it was Anjing Frost.

The one who could mobilize An Jingshuang to come here must be Chu Huanjun. Tao Yao subconsciously pinched Lu Che and whispered, "She's from Chunfeng Tower. You've seen her before. She knows how to use poison."

"Yeah." Lu Che nodded in understanding and immediately turned the horse around, bypassing An Jingshuang who was blocking the way.

But no matter how they hid or escaped, no matter how fast the carriage went, An Jingshuang's lightness skills were always faster than their speed.

As the carriage moved faster and faster, the wind blowing into the carriage became stronger and stronger, and more petals were blown in, almost burying Tao Yao's calves.

The petals of these flowers have a unique fragrance that smells familiar. Tao Yao's heart moved - this fragrance seems to be quite similar to the soothing incense she smelled in Chu Huanjun's bedroom that day.

Calming incense has the effect of inducing people to fall asleep. The fragrance of these petals is similar to that of calming incense, and I am afraid that its effect is also similar to that of calming incense.

Tao Yao was startled and quickly tore off a piece of cloth from her sleeve and cut it in two. She covered her mouth and nose with one half and quickly wrapped the other half around Lu Che.

"The petals have a strange smell and may cause people to fall into a coma. It's better to be careful." Tao Yao whispered.

Unfortunately, before she could finish her words, Tao Yao realized that Lu Che's eyes were half-closed, his gaze unfocused. It seemed she realized too late; Lu Che had already been attacked—he still had the poison in him, making him more vulnerable.

Seeing that Lu Che was about to faint, Tao Yao quickly snatched the reins from his hand and drove the horse for him.

But as soon as she grabbed the reins, Tao Yao immediately realized that she didn't know how to drive a horse at all, and she had no talent for driving a horse.

Riding a horse seemed easy when others saw it: if you pulled the reins to the east, the horse wouldn't turn west, running wherever you pointed it. But when Tao Yao was in charge, she realized the horse was running like crazy, completely out of control. Unfortunately, she was weak, and she struggled to hold the reins. Unfortunately, a rock blocked the road ahead, startling the horse, which suddenly raised its front hooves and jerked its neck wildly. Tao Yao accidentally let go of the reins, and they flew into the air.

"not good!"

Tao Yao subconsciously turned around to look for Lu Che, only to find that he had collapsed to the ground, his mind unclear.

When she turned around again, a red light like mist flashed before Tao Yao's eyes, and the next moment she could vaguely see An Jingshuang's charming smile.

A sweet voice flowed into my ears, like a ballad to lull me to sleep: "Miss Taoyao, where are you going?"

Tao Yao suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't see clearly. She rubbed her eyes hurriedly. When she opened her eyes, she found that there was nothing in front of her. Then she realized that she had just been hallucinating.

"Miss Taoyao, I have no intention of fighting someone who doesn't know how to fight. Your companions have already surrendered, do you still want to continue to resist?"

Unnoticed by anyone, An Jingshuang had sat down behind Tao Yao. Her slender, white arms gently wrapped around her neck. She leaned against the crook of her neck and whispered into her ear, "Miss Tao Yao, please come back with me. If I don't bring anyone back to report, the prince will blame me."

Tao Yao was about to elbow back, but she found that the phantom behind her had also disappeared immediately. When she turned around again, An Jingshuang's figure was in front of her again. She saw her seize their horses, stride up and leap onto their backs, turning back with a charming smile: "Girl, sit tight."

In a moment of desperation, Tao Yao had a flash of inspiration, rolled over and crawled to the unconscious Lu Che, and pulled out the pair of daggers from his waist.

Without a second to think, Tao Yao instinctively hurled a short knife at the figure on horseback. The wind blew, and the knife slashed, a piece of crimson silk shard tore through the air, and a few drops of bright red blood splattered into the inky night.

bingo!

Fortunately, the knife did not cut the illusion.

An Jingshuang covered her wound and turned around, a little surprised, a little appreciative, she chuckled softly and said, "It seems I underestimated Miss Tao Yao. But today, it's not up to you!"

Tao Yao no longer cared about anything else. He rolled to the front of the carriage, quickly grabbed another dagger, and quickly cut the rope connecting the horse's body and the carriage body.

In an instant, the horse and the carriage were separated.

Tao Yao grabbed Lu Che's arms and tied them to herself, then rolled down the car door.

This was a small hill. Tao Yao rolled out of the car holding Lu Che, then quickly hid in a two-meter-high reed marsh and rolled down the hill with the help of inertia.

An Jingshuang led a group of people to catch up, her voice tinged with anger: "Search! If he's alive, we must find him. If he's dead, we must find his body!"

Honestly, Tao Yao only realized today that human potential is limitless. For example, when she rolled to the bottom of the slope to avoid An Jingshuang's pursuit, she saw a pit partially covered with grass. Without a second thought, she dragged Lu Che into the pit and jumped in.

Then, as expected, he fell into a trap and his foot was caught by a large iron clamp at the bottom of the pit.

Instantly, the foot caught in the clamp began to bleed profusely, and Tao Yao grimaced in pain. But the pursuers were outside, so she could only bite her sleeve, swallowing all her moans, and letting the cold sweat pour down like rain, soaking half of her clothes.

An Jingshuang's men patrolled until dawn but still could not find any trace of Tao Yao, so they had to return empty-handed.

Listening to the footsteps outside the pit gradually fading away, Tao Yao's nerves, which had been tense as a string, finally relaxed. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and fell to the ground exhausted.

Lu Che beside her was still unconscious like a dead pig. Tao Yao reached out to feel his breath and found that he was still breathing, so he was not dead.

Tao Yao felt a little relieved. She put her arms under her head, found a more comfortable lying position, and looked up at the sky.

After a night of tossing and turning, it was almost dawn.

Fortunately, her legs were already half-crippled, so it wouldn't be a pity if she got injured any more. As long as she could escape Chu Huanjun's pursuers, she would be extremely lucky.

As for the rest, they would discuss it after Lu Che, who had both legs intact, woke up. Right now, she just wanted to have a good sleep.

Perhaps it was because he had lost too much blood, or perhaps he was really exhausted after tossing and turning all night, Tao Yao's remaining consciousness was gradually overwhelmed by sleepiness.

Just when Tao Yao was about to fall asleep, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the pit, forcing her to wake up immediately from her sleep.
