After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Xiao Ran quickly reached out to help Chun Tao down.

In an instant, more and more arrows began to fly in this direction.

"Girl!" Afu suddenly sped up outside and shouted into the carriage, his voice full of worry, as if he was anxious to confirm whether the person inside was safe and sound.

Xiao Ran flipped up the small table inside the carriage, and then pulled Chun Tao to hide underneath.

"Afu! Go faster, head out of the city!" Xiao Ran shouted loudly towards the outside of the carriage curtain.

Xiao Ran knew in her heart that if someone really intended to harm them, they must have already set up ambushes in various parts of the city. At this moment, no matter where they went in the city, they would probably be in great danger. The only way to survive was to run out of the city.

Afu was quick-witted and immediately understood Xiao Ran's intention. He then drove the carriage out of the city at breakneck speed.

"Girl... what should we do? What should we do..." Chun Tao had clearly never experienced such a dangerous situation before, and she was trembling uncontrollably.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be alright." Xiao Ran held Chun Tao's hand tightly, trying to offer her some comfort.

But as soon as they shook hands, Xiao Ran noticed that Chun Tao's hands were wet.

Xiao Ran was startled. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Chun Tao's hands were covered in dark red blood.

"...You were shot with an arrow?" Xiao Ran's expression immediately turned serious, her tone carrying a hint of reproach. "Why didn't you tell me!"

"Miss, I... I'm fine..." Chun Tao's lips gradually lost their color and became increasingly pale.

Seeing Chun Tao's appearance, Xiao Ran was certain that the arrow must have been poisoned. The only thing to do now was to go to the clinic!

Xiao Ran used a dagger to cut off her own clothes, tore them into strips, and tied them tightly to Chun Tao's arms.

This can prevent the toxicity from spreading to the heart.

After she tied it up, she shouted with all her might, "Ah Fu! Turn the car around! Let's go to the clinic."

Although Afu found it a bit strange, he quickly realized that someone must have been injured by an arrow.

So, he turned the car around without hesitation.

Arrows streaked across the night sky like silver threads, instantly shattering the silence.

Arrows rained down like a dense storm, and Afu barely managed to dodge them several times. Afu turned his head to look in the direction of the carriage curtain.

This is not the way to go.

Xiao Ran was holding Chun Tao's hand tightly inside the car, trying to keep Chun Tao sane, when she suddenly heard A Fu shout, "Miss! Please sit properly!"

The horse let out a long neigh and then galloped off like an arrow. Inside the carriage, Xiao Ran saw the curtains being violently blown up and down by the wind. Startled, she quickly closed her eyes tightly.

Not long after, Afu's voice came again: "Miss, we've arrived! I'm coming in."

Then, Afu quickly climbed into the carriage, grabbed Xiao Ran and Chun Tao's arms without saying a word, and jumped off the carriage.

As Xiao Ran jumped off the carriage, she caught a glimpse of a dagger piercing the horse's abdomen, with bright red blood seeping from the wound.

Her heart skipped a beat, as if it were about to leap out of her throat. But in this critical moment, she had no time to think too much.

Afu led Xiao Ran and the others hurriedly into a small alley, which was the back door of Doctor Li's house. Xiao Ran immediately rushed forward and knocked on the door, calling out, "Doctor Li? Doctor Li! Help!"

However, after a long time, there was still no response from inside the door.

Afu stood at the alley entrance, looking around warily. Seeing the situation, he finally became anxious and walked up to Xiao Ran, saying, "Miss, please move aside!"

After saying that, Afu kicked open the door of Doctor Li's house.

Inside, Doctor Li was hurriedly running downstairs, his hand touching his clothes, when he saw that the back door had been kicked down, and he was immediately dumbfounded.

"Dr. Li, please save Chun Tao!" Xiao Ran hurriedly helped Chun Tao, who was already weak and powerless, into the house.

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp arrow shot in with a "whoosh," and at the same time, a familiar, hearty laugh came from the doorway.

"Haha, I've been looking for you for ages!"

Xiao Ran handed Chun Tao back to Doctor Li and instructed them to stay inside and not to come out if they heard any noise. They should just focus on treating Chun Tao.

Doctor Li understood immediately and helped Chun Tao into the inner room.

Xiao Ran was slightly relieved, but her body involuntarily tensed up again, and she looked warily toward the door.

Who came in was...

The eldest prince of Western Xia was followed by a female guard.

Afu's eyes narrowed.

The Western Xia prince gently opened his folding fan, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Miss Xiao, I only wish to have a proper talk with you. Why are you avoiding me?"

"Shameless!" Xiao Ran cursed.

The Western Xia prince suddenly burst into laughter, the sound echoing eerily in the silent night.

He began by saying, "So, is it shameful to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"

Xiao Ran was startled; it turned out that he remembered her because of this incident.

"I can't understand your Xixia language at all! Is that why you're going to kill me?" Xiao Ran was full of doubt and confusion.

“Isn’t Miss Xiao very intelligent and quick-witted? How would I know whether Miss Xiao understands our Western Xia language?” The Western Xia prince said, while gently stroking the cheek of the female guard beside him, his eyes so tender that they seemed to drip with water.

"Besides, I have already given you a choice."

He said...marry him?

How could she possibly marry someone like that!

"It seems Miss Xiao has regretted it, but there's no going back in this world, so..."

The Western Xia prince, who had been stroking the female guard's cheek, suddenly slapped her cheek hard and commanded, "Ling Shuang, go."

Suddenly, the female guard's eyes became incredibly clear. Without hesitation, she drew the sword she carried and charged towards Xiao Ran like an arrow.

Xiao Ran closed her eyes in fear, but at this critical moment...

She heard the sound of weapons clashing.

Xiao Ran opened her eyes tremblingly, only to see Afu standing in front of her, while the female guard had already been pierced through the chest by a dagger.

The Western Xia prince's eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment he didn't know whether to look at his beloved female guard or this "wild boy" who had suddenly appeared and ruined his plans.

But for some reason, he calmed down a bit and asked with narrowed eyes, "Kid, who are you?"

Afu calmly toyed with the dagger in his hand, then forcefully sheathed it, a carefree smile playing on his lips, and said, "The one you've been thinking about day and night."

Suddenly, taking advantage of the Western Xia prince's momentary lapse in attention, Afu threw the dagger forcefully.

The dagger flew straight towards the Western Xia prince, piercing his shoulder with perfect accuracy.

The Western Xia prince cried out in pain and roared angrily, "You!"

"What, are you still waiting for Doctor Li to come out and treat your injuries?" Afu said with a sneer. "But I have to tell you, this dagger is poisoned, much more potent than the poison on your arrows."

The Western Xia prince, naturally unwilling to die, could only leave behind a few harsh words before rushing out to seek medical help.

Afterwards, just as Xiao Ran was about to ask something, Afu made a shushing gesture to her in the cool moonlight.

"I'm not going to tell you."

"But if you want to know, I'll tell you next time we meet."

"Now I need to go find the ones who slipped through the net. Don't you have someone important to you, young lady?"

Afu turned his head to look at the inner room, gesturing for Xiao Ran to look there as well.

"Then, see you later."

As soon as Xiao Ran turned around, Afu was already gone.

It was on this occasion that Afu left the General's Mansion for good.
