Transmigrated Female Official

The moment Gongsun Yu rushed out, Ji Qili noticed him too. "How could he be here?!" Ji Qili's brows furrowed, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

Ji Qili remembered Gongsun Yu; he had seen this man at the Mingyi Fang (a clothing store) and he was Chu Qingluo's first male attendant. Gongsun Yu's nonchalant attitude disgusted Ji Qili.

Similarly, Gongsun Yu knew perfectly well who he was. In other words, his meticulously planned, clandestine 'accident' would likely be ruined by this Gongsun Yu…

He absolutely cannot allow this to happen!

Thinking of this, Ji Qili quickly covered his face with a veil, ordered someone to sound the horn, and then led his men to give chase...

"Qingluo—!" Gongsun Yu was still trying his best to get closer to the carriage, but the guards were only focused on knocking him off his horse.

Inside the carriage, Chu Qingluo seemed to vaguely hear someone calling her name... and the voice sounded somewhat like Gongsun Yu's.

In such a critical moment of escape, and before even reaching the territory of the Ji Kingdom, how could Gongsun Yu possibly be calling her name outside the carriage? Moreover, the carriage was rolling violently at this moment, making her ears ring, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was hallucinating.

It wasn't until the sound appeared several more times that Chu Qingluo realized she wasn't hallucinating, and quickly pulled back the car curtain...

"Gongsun—?!" Chu Qinglu could hardly believe her eyes!

At this moment, Gongsun Yu himself was riding a horse, chasing after their carriage, while guards were fighting with him.

"Don't hurt him! He's one of us!" Chu Qinglu shouted.

When Ji Qiran heard Chu Qingluo say this, his eyes widened, and he quickly leaned out to confirm. Sure enough, he saw Gongsun Yu following outside the carriage.

The guards, having received instructions, stopped bothering Gongsun Yu, allowing him to get a little closer to the carriage.

"How did you end up here?!" Seeing Gongsun Yu at such a critical moment, Chu Qingluo couldn't be happy at all, let alone catch up or share her worries.

"There's no time to explain," Gongsun Yu said, focusing on the key point: "There's an ambush on the downhill section ahead, quickly make the carriage slow down and stop!"

Zhi Jun also heard Gongsun Yu's words and immediately ordered the driver to slow down.

But the assassins who were relentlessly pursuing them were no pushovers either. They caught up quickly and started firing arrows at them, forcing the carriage to continue its mad dash down the dead end!

Gongsun Yu was extremely anxious at this point. He rode his horse to the coachman's side and urged him to find a way to stop the carriage immediately.

The horses were clearly frightened, and the coachman couldn't calm them down. Even though he pulled the reins tight, they kept charging forward.

What awaited them ahead was absolutely fraught with danger! There was truly no other way at the moment, so Gongsun Yu shouted into the carriage, "Abandon the carriage!"

Abandon the vehicle?! Wouldn't that mean they have to jump out?!

I just experienced a near-death chase within the territory of Yuezhi Kingdom, and now it's happening again! Crises really keep coming one after another, giving us no chance to catch our breath!

Chu Qingluo now deeply understands what it means to be on a business trip with your life on the line!

Not fun at all!

However, Gongsun Yu must be right, so she mustered her courage and said, "I believe Gongsun!"

Ji Qiran did not question the suggestion to abandon the car. He took Chu Qingluo's hand and said firmly, "Let's do it together."

Zhi Jun remained silent, watching the Sixth Princess and awaiting her decision.

The Sixth Princess gasped, then decisively declared, "Abandon the carriage!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Jun immediately beckoned the guards to come closer. He had originally intended to help the Sixth Princess jump onto her horse first, but unexpectedly, the slope was right in front of them! "Too late—!"

He shouted, "Jump! Jump!" and then grabbed the sixth princess next to him and jumped off the carriage!

At this moment, Chu Qingluo's mind was completely blank. Ji Qiran quickly pulled her to the door, wrapped his arms around her, and only said, "Close your eyes!"

The moment she closed her eyes, she felt her body tilt and fly out...

When she landed, she thought it would hurt terribly! Like, seriously injured!

But actually it's not.

Because Ji Qiran landed on his back, cushioning Chu Qingluo's fall to prevent her from getting hurt, while he himself took the brunt of the impact!

The two tumbled and rolled toward the bushes, nearly getting trampled by the guards' horses!

After the dizziness subsided, Chu Qingluo hurriedly opened her eyes. She was lying beside Ji Qiran, whose brows were furrowed, his back was hunched, and he was clutching the wound on his shoulder, looking very much in pain.

"Qi Ran!" She quickly went over to check on him. "Has the wound reopened?"

Ji Qiran endured the pain and said, "I'm fine, are you hurt?" Despite her words, the sticky feeling under her palm indicated that the wound had indeed reopened.

"No." Chu Qinglu shook her head vigorously. As for injuries, she only had a scrape and some minor abrasions, which were nothing serious.

At this moment, Gongsun Yu and his guards stopped in time. He jumped off his horse and immediately ran to Chu Qingluo, anxiously asking, "Qingluo, are you injured?"

"No, but he still has the arrow and knife wounds from before." Chu Qingluo also saw the blood-stained mark on Ji Qiran's shoulder and felt a little anxious.

"..." Gongsun Yu was slightly stunned as he looked at her distressed appearance.

Zhi Jun, supporting the Sixth Princess, approached them and shouted, "Stop dawdling! Hurry up and mount your horses!"

Before the words were even finished, a series of deafening roars suddenly came from the bottom of the slope!

Their carriage was being violently struck by a pile of large rocks, and was already broken into pieces, plunging into the river!

If the four of them had just been in the carriage... the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Before they could even mount their horses, the assassins in pursuit had already arrived. Someone blew a horn again, and the assassins who had been lying in ambush at the bottom of the slope all rushed up the slope.

At this moment, they were completely surrounded by the group of assassins.

Gongsun Yu stared intently at the only masked man, then suddenly sneered, "Fifth Prince, isn't it pointless to deliberately cover your face at a time like this?"

Upon hearing Gongsun Yu's words, everyone immediately turned their gazes to the masked man.

"..." Ji Qili's brows twitched, and he finally tore off his mask, sneering, "I never expected that you would be the one to ruin things in the end."

"It was you..." The Sixth Princess and Ji Qiran were both taken aback.

Chu Qingluo was also deeply shocked. This person she had prayed never to see again had made a grand reappearance in such an astonishing way...
