Forced to be a concubine? I turned around and married the scumbag's father.

Knowing their destination, Ji Xuanyu took a shortcut through the mountains and sped away.

He personally ordered her to be harmed last night. If he can't save Hua Meimei, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life!

Lu Laosan and his group headed straight for the mountains west of the city. Once they entered the mountainous area, which they knew very well and which was also treacherous, they would have a chance to shake off Mu Junyan and his men.

But to their utter surprise, Mu Junyan and his Black Armor Guards were relentlessly pursuing them, making it impossible for them to shake off this tail.

"Third Master, what should we do? If we keep running like this with such a burden, we'll definitely get caught."

The man holding Gu Hua was also sweating profusely with anxiety.

Lu Laosan glanced at Gu Hua.

Suddenly, an arrow whistled through the air, startling them into quickly dodging as it pierced the carriage shaft.

At the same time, Mu Junyan's powerful voice rang out: "Release them! If you don't, kill them without mercy!"

"Third Master, the one surnamed Mu is a killing god."

Lu Laosan knew he couldn't delay any longer; if the pursuit continued, his lair outside the city would be discovered, resulting in heavy losses.

At this moment, there was no need to care about the prince or princess; protecting his brothers was the most important thing.

Lu Laosan hated this woman to the core. She had completely deceived the brothers and even caused Huang Laoer to lose his family.

He and his brothers were unwilling to let her go so easily.

"Tie her up in the car," Lu Laosan ordered, pulling a man aside and whispering in his ear.

Gu Hua noticed his unfriendly expression and asked warily, "What do you want?"

"Let you go!" Lu Laosan shouted at Mu Junyan and the others from the car.

"Stop right there, or I'll kill her right now!"

Mu Junyan reined in his horse and stared intently at them.

A short while later, Lu Laosan and the others got off the carriage and turned the carriage that Gu Hua was sitting in towards Mu Junyan.

They then boarded another carriage.

Lu Laosan roared at them, "You surnamed Mu, your wife is in the carriage. I'll bring her over right now."

After saying that, they cracked their whips, and the carriage sped off.

Just as Chi Yu was about to move, Mu Junyan raised his hand to stop her: "Be careful."

He glanced warily at the departing thugs, then at Gu Hua's carriage inside.

Suddenly, a string of firecrackers exploded from behind Gu Hua's carriage.

The horse, startled, broke free and galloped wildly toward Mu Junyan and his companions.

Mu Junyan's eyes darkened, and with a wave of his hand, the large group quickly dispersed to make way, just in case.

Mu Junyan, Chi Yu, Chi Yan, and the others rode their horses toward the carriage, preparing to stop it.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to approach the galloping carriage, the horse's head was suddenly pulled hard by something. The horse let out a miserable cry, reared up, and rolled to the ground. The carriage behind it was also overturned and rolled directly towards the edge of the cliff.

It turned out that, in order to hinder Mu Junyan and his group from pursuing them, Lu Laosan tied one end of a long rope to a tree and the other end to the horse's harness. He used firecrackers to scare the horse into galloping wildly. When the horse reached its maximum speed, its head was pulled back sharply, the cart frame got stuck on the horse's head, and the horse fell to the ground in pain.

There was a cliff right next to the road, and the carriage carrying Gu Hua could very well fall off the cliff.

By the time they made that round trip, plus their rescue mission, Lu Laosan and his group had vanished without a trace.

Gu Hua's hands were tied to the frame of the vehicle, and she couldn't break free at all. She was being pulled back and forth, swaying from side to side.

In a flash, as the carriage curtain fluttered, she saw an endless cliff and realized the sinister purpose of the thugs.

At the same time, Mu Junyan pulled out his dagger and stabbed the horse's rump hard. The horse, in pain, sped up and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Don't panic, stay calm, I'm coming!"

Hearing his shout, Gu Hua burst into tears.

In this lifetime, someone actually disregarded everything for her.

The carriage was overturned again by the horse, which was in excruciating pain. The entire carriage was suddenly suspended in mid-air on the cliff. Gu Hua was thrown out of the window and hung in mid-air on the carriage frame.

Below them lay a bottomless abyss.

Mu Junyan's eyes turned cold, and he quickly shouted, "Don't move!"

Gu Hua squinted her eyes in fright, not daring to move.

But the horse was still wriggling, and the carriage was slowly sliding toward the cliff.

Mu Junyan leaped from his horse and grabbed the falling carriage.

At the same time, a horse suddenly sprang out from the dense forest above the carriage, flew straight over the overturned carriage, and with a tragic neigh, plunged off the cliff.

The person wearing the silver half-mask landed steadily at the front of the carriage, and the sudden increase in weight caused Gu Hua's hair to stick up.

At the same time, the newcomer swung a long whip, hooked it around Gu Hua's waist, and pulled her back.

Unfortunately, Gu Hua's hands were tied, preventing her from pulling the person back to the edge of the cliff.

The man quickly tied one end of the rope to a tree, leaped up, and risked everything to jump to Gu Hua's side, pulling out a dagger to cut the rope binding her hands.

Mu Junyan used all his strength to hold down one end of the carriage. Chi Yu and the others also arrived, and the group went together to pull the carriage.

But the wheels got stuck on the cliff rocks, and the axle made a cracking sound as it broke.

The car is about to break.

Gu Hua noticed someone grabbing her hand and thought it was Mu Junyan. She mustered up her courage and opened her eyes, only to be met with a person wearing a silver half-mask.

I was shocked.

He was the one who ordered people to defile her last night; he's the leader of that gang of thugs!

Gu Hua was terrified; her mind was buzzing.

Why would he save himself?

No, he's going to hand her over to the person who ordered her kidnapping!

Ji Xuanyu was covered in sweat and was working hard to cut the rope, completely unaware of Gu Hua's gaze.

The carriage was on the verge of falling apart due to the weight of the two people.

With his final strike, Ji Xuanyu cut the rope, stretched out his long arm, grabbed her waist, and leaped towards a rock on the cliff edge, far away from Mu Junyan.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, his legs felt weak. Afraid of falling and hurting Gu Hua, he hugged her tightly and used his body to cushion the fall, then crashed heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough cough." Ji Xuanyu was forced to cough violently.

He had just exerted all his strength, and now he was completely exhausted.

We finally saved her!

Just as Ji Xuanyu was about to look up and ask Gu Hua if she was injured, a cold glint flashed.

puff.

A dagger was plunged deep into his chest, and blood splattered everywhere.

When Gu Hua was pulled into his arms, she quietly pulled out the dagger he had tucked into his waistband and held it in her hand.

She was afraid that he would save her so that he could keep her hostage.

After all, those who wanted to kill and humiliate her had not yet achieved their goal.

Ji Xuanyu stared blankly as the girl he was protecting struggled to her feet, her eyes filled with terror and helplessness.

He was a ruthless criminal.

"I...I...you...you're a bad person! Let me go!"

Ji Xuanyu was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Gu Hua was extremely flustered. Although he had saved her, he was the young master of that group of vicious thugs. He had ordered her to be arrested and had her humiliated.

But why was there an inexplicable sadness in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something to her?

Before Gu Hua could think it through, she took advantage of his slight loosening of his grip, quickly got up, lifted her skirt, and ran towards Mu Junyan, who was rushing towards her.

"My lord!"

Ji Xuanyu felt a sudden emptiness in his arms, feeling both disappointed and happy.

The little girl he once wanted to protect has now dared to kill to protect herself, though her strength and aim are inaccurate.

But... it's really good.

Even if she killed him, he would be happy to do so!

But why...?

Ji Xuanyu clutched the wound on his chest, while the little girl, her eyes wide with fury, stared at him and threw herself into Mu Junyan's arms, bursting into tears.

Mu Junyan embraced the person tightly, instantly filling the gaping hole in his heart.

He had saved many people and killed countless enemies, but only this time did he feel a sense of happiness from being relied upon.
