Transmigrated into a cunning princess, she sets her sights on a celibate royal uncle.

Xie Sichun waved her hand: "Don't worry, there are people from the Military Command here in the hunting grounds. They will pick me up and take me back to the camp in a while."

Jiang Xi thought about it and agreed. With Lu Jian around, the safety of the hunting grounds should be guaranteed.

"Alright, then I'll go after Scholar Yan and the others. Our team can't fall too far behind, otherwise Scholar Yan will lose face along with us!"

"Yeah, go ahead!"

Xie Sichun waved her hand in agreement, signaling Jiang Xi to hurry up and chase after Yan Zijin and the others.

"Giddy up!" Jiang Xi spurred his horse and rode away.

The horse swiftly traversed through the jungle when suddenly, its hooves trod over a thick layer of fallen leaves, and it let out a long neigh as a trap caught its hoof.

Blood flowed freely, the horse stretched its neck and neighed, and began to gallop wildly with Jiang Xi on its back.

"Yu!"

Jiang Xi tried her best to rein in the horse, but the rough reins tore through the delicate skin of her palms and embedded themselves deep into the flesh between her thumb and forefinger.

But once a horse goes berserk, how could a woman possibly rein it in?

The horse galloped wildly through the jungle, and Jiang Xi almost fell off its back several times.

Seeing that the horse was running in an increasingly uncontrollable direction, Jiang Xi thought to herself, rather than be thrown off the horse and die.

It would be better to find an opportunity to jump. Although you might get injured, if you control the force, you can at least save your life!

With that in mind, Jiang Xi began to calculate where the chances of surviving a horse jump would be greatest.

When the horses reached a slope covered with grass, it had rained two days before the hunt.

The soil on the grassy area is soft, so rolling down the slope can reduce some of the force.

Having made his plans, Jiang Xi loosened the reins and leaped into the air.

Just as she expected, she tumbled down the slope and fell, completely disoriented.

The fall left her completely dazed for a long time before she finally regained some consciousness.

She moved her fingers as she lay on the ground, and managed to get up from the grass at the bottom of the slope.

"Hiss!" The marks on his palm were so deep that the bone was visible, and his entire arm was red.

She also had several abrasions on her face and body, which made her wince in pain.

However, before she could even think about why there were animal traps in the hunting grounds, she was immediately surrounded by a group of men in black who appeared out of nowhere.

"Die!" the leader shouted, raising his long sword and slashing it down at Jiang Xi's head.

Jiang Xi was shocked and reached into her sleeve, spilling out a packet of medicine powder.

"what!"

The man who raised his knife to cut her felt as if thousands of ants were crawling all over his body.

Moreover, the ants had burrowed into his skin and were frantically gnawing at his flesh.

While he was suffering from unbearable itching, he frantically scratched his head, face, and body.

The other men in black were terrified by his sudden action, staring in disbelief at the man who had been perfectly fine just a moment ago.

The next second, he scratched his face and body, leaving bloody marks.

However, even after scratching himself like this, it still didn't seem to relieve his pain. He scratched harder and harder, wishing he could stick his hands into his own flesh to scratch the itch.

Taking advantage of everyone's stunned moment, Jiang Xi scrambled to her feet and ran backward, shouting as she ran, "Help! Help!"

The other men in black realized what was happening and rushed after her, but Jiang Xi had already run a long way.

This place is remote, and the patrolmen from the military headquarters rarely pass by here.

The pursuers were always faster than Jiang Xi, and Jiang Xi was forced to the edge of a cliff after running for a short while.

She kept a wary eye on the pursuers as she retreated, nearly slipping and falling off the sheer cliff behind her.

She heard the whistling wind beneath her feet, and when she turned around, she could only see a vast expanse of white mist, unable to see what was below the cliff.

The pursuers closed in, and seeing that she had nowhere to escape, the leader decided to toy with his prey.

"Run, keep running! Aren't you pretty fast?"

Jiang Xi was terrified. She didn't have much poison left in her sleeve, and if they took turns attacking her, she would be captured alive sooner or later.

"Boss, let me do it!"

One of them volunteered to go forward and capture Jiang Xi alive, but was stopped by the leader of the men in black.

"That brat is really wicked, don't get close, use a bow and arrow!"

"Yes!" The man in black immediately took out a bow and arrow, nocked an arrow, and aimed it at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi thought to herself that she was probably doomed this time, but just as the arrow was shot, a long sword flew over with a whoosh and blocked the fatal arrow for her.

Then Huo Jingxuan, dressed in black and gleaming with gold, appeared before her.

Huo Jingxuan, dressed in black and holding a sword, looked at the assassins with his thin lips pressed tightly together.

"Who sent you here?"

The assassins were clearly taken aback by Huo Jingxuan's sudden appearance, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"You won't talk? Then you'd all die!"

As Huo Jingxuan spoke, he brandished his sword and charged towards the assassins.

To protect themselves, the assassins had no choice but to befriend Huo Jingxuan, but they were no match for this former war god prince.

They were all killed in no time, leaving only the last leader.

Huo Jingxuan stood behind him, a long sword pressed against his neck, his voice as cold as ice.

"Tell me who's behind this, and I'll spare your life!"

The assassin was terrified and desperate, and opened his mouth as if to bite off the poison hidden behind his teeth.

Huo Jingxuan had already noticed, and with a snap, he dislocated his jaw, leaving him unable to close his mouth.

At this moment, Lu Jian and his troops arrived.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late!"

Huo Jingxuan did not leave the only survivor to Lu Jian, but instead to Jiang Cheng, who arrived at the same time as Lu Jian.

"Take him back to the Supervisory Department and interrogate him severely!"

Jiang Cheng immediately clasped his hands in a fist and replied, "Yes!"

Yang Xuerou and Yan Zijin followed.

As the assassin being taken away brushed past Yang Xuerou, Yang Xuerou's expression was very complicated.

These bunch of good-for-nothings can't even kill a defenseless little girl. They're utterly useless!

"Miss Ah Xi, what happened to your hand?"

Yan Zijin was the first to notice that Jiang Xi's hand was bleeding, and he immediately went to her and asked with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Jiang Xi raised her hand and glanced at it, not caring much.

Huo Jingxuan's gaze was also drawn over.

Jiang Xi's hand was still dripping blood, and the marks on her palm revealed the white bone beneath.

Even in this situation, she still calmly said that she was fine.

"How could he be alright? Come on, let's hurry back to camp and find a doctor to bandage him up!"

Yan Zijin stepped forward and offered his suggestion.

"No need..." Jiang Xi wanted to say that this injury was nothing, and that she had been beaten much more severely when she was a child.

However, a tearing sound came from Buon.

Huo Jingxuan actually lifted his robe and tore off a piece of his inner lining.

He walked up to Jiang Xi, bent down, and began bandaging the wound on her hand.

"If you don't want to bleed to death, bandage it up first!"

Huo Jingxuan frowned, carefully bandaging the wound while coldly complaining.
