Chang Zijing, naturally, continued to make things difficult for him, which made him look rather unpleasant. "Your Majesty, even now, you're still so sharp-tongued. Just wait, you'll lose soon enough." Her face was fierce; she hadn't expected him to show such no mercy to a woman like herself. But then again, those who aspire to great things must ultimately be ruthless and cold-blooded. Therefore, in their eyes, she was perhaps merely a source of profit, a significant threat, an obstacle to their path to enlightenment. Chang Zijing's three consecutive hidden arrows naturally made them wary, but she knew it was useless. She was ultimately too slow and would be defeated. While she was fighting them, she was also quickly thinking of a way to escape. Looking around, she saw only woods, which would make escape easy. This place was rather secluded; Chang Zijing wished there was a cave or similar place to hide. Being constantly harassed like this is really not a solution. Besides, she simply doesn't have the energy to play along, and she probably can't hold out much longer. Looking at her face, it was already halfway noon. Chang Zijing felt utterly exhausted. Unfortunately, she hadn't even had lunch yet, and being chased like this left her with no strength left. How could she possibly escape? Chang Zijing's sleeve darts naturally couldn't hold many, and sure enough, once they were empty, she felt irritated and threw the darts on the ground, saying, "Seriously, they always have to ruin things at crucial moments." She used her lightness skill to keep running, while the group behind her relentlessly pursued. Chang Zijing thought she needed to find a hiding place as soon as possible. Sure enough, ahead was an extremely high hillside, a steep cliff at ninety degrees. Chang Zijing thought that if she could climb up, it would be really good. She decided to try climbing up like this. Sure enough, using her light-footed skills, Chang Zijing easily climbed up. Those watching from below frowned; it seemed Qi Wangfei was quite skilled, managing to climb up like that. They couldn't let her escape, so they all climbed up as well. However, while some of them were skilled in martial arts, their climbing ability was lacking, and quite a few fell. The higher they climbed, the harder the fall. Looking down, Chang Zijing patted her chest, nearly falling herself – it was too dangerous! No, she had to keep climbing. Chang Zijing kept climbing, but unexpectedly, the leader's climbing ability was quite good; he was almost at Chang Zijing's feet. Chang Zijing was naturally frightened; now that she had no hidden arrows, what would she do? She thought that even if she didn't have poison needles, she still had some on her body. So, she used one hand to launch a poison needle at him. The man tried to dodge, but he lost his footing and fell. Chang Zijing laughed at his predicament; he was too green to fight her. Using the poison needle as a tool, Chang Zijing stuck it into a crevice in the rock and continued climbing until she reached the top. However, Chang Zijing was even more astonished. There was a main road ahead! A passing carriage stopped her, and she pleaded, "Please take me with you! Someone is chasing me!" The carriage driver asked, puzzled, "Who are you? Why do you need our help?" Chang Zijing now truly felt they were being mischievous; they should have asked when they should have. She really needed emergency medical assistance. Chang Zijing said, "If you're willing to save me, then when we return to the Prince's mansion, I'll definitely ask the Prince to promote you and grant you titles!" Chang Zijing refused to believe that after such words, they still wouldn't save her. Sure enough, the carriage curtain was slowly lifted, and Chang Zijing was naturally surprised, because it was Bu Yu who stepped down from the carriage. He stood before Chang Zijing with a gentle and refined demeanor. Chang Zijing recognized him immediately, and she was naturally happy. Fortunately, Bu Yu was there, because with him, she wouldn't be in danger. "He's a business partner after all, he'll definitely protect me." Chang Zijing said, "I just encountered some danger. They're coming up from below, so let's hurry." She naturally wanted to get into the carriage so she could escape. But to her surprise, Bu Yu chuckled softly, "You are... they're down this cliff." Bu Yu's eyes held a probing look, but Chang Zijing couldn't decipher its meaning. He slowly walked over and looked. Sure enough, there were people climbing upwards. He even smiled and said, "Since they want to come up, why not let them never get up? How about that?" His eyes, half-smiling, looked at Chang Zijing, leaving her confused. But later, she understood and smiled at him, saying, "You're indeed clever." Reaching the edge of the cliff, the coachman handed him a bow and arrow. He smiled and said, "Look, they're almost up. If they fall, it'll be terrible." One person was about to climb up when, unexpectedly, Bu Yu smiled lightly and shot an arrow. The person screamed and fell. Those around him, seeing this, dared not try to climb and were about to retreat. However, a few fearless individuals continued to climb. How could Bu Yu let them off so easily? So he continued shooting arrows. Chang Zijing watched from the side, finding it quite exhilarating. Bu Yu shot one, and another fell down. It was truly gratifying to see. Chang Zijing then took a bow and arrow and kept shooting, feeling a great sense of satisfaction. This was how it should be done to those who wanted to harm her; if they treated her badly first, then she absolutely could not treat them well. One by one, those people, like insects crawling on a wall, were shot down by the arrows, falling one by one until finally, the area was cleaned up. Bu Yu turned around and smiled at Chang Zijin, "Are you satisfied now?" Chang Zijin nodded vigorously, "Satisfied, satisfied, of course I'm satisfied. I'm satisfied with everything you've done." Chang Zijin truly felt that Bu Yu was too good to her, and everything he did was for her sake. He was like a warm-hearted man, and she wanted to rely on him. However, she also knew that there was a prince in the palace. If he knew that she and Bu Yu were here, he would definitely be jealous. When he was jealous, the whole palace would be filled with a sour smell.
