Zhang Cheng stared closely at the battle situation outside and found that the other side had more people and was too powerful.

His own people were caught off guard by the hidden arrows, and more than half of them were killed or wounded. Only a few secret guards were left to fight with those people.

Qin Shu suddenly became nervous and slapped Zhang Cheng's arm, "Ahhh, the assassin is coming!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Cheng finally couldn't help it and scolded Qin Shu fiercely.

The dagger in his hand loosened.

The fight outside the carriage was in full swing. Zhang Cheng's eyes under the carriage were shocked and incredible, "You..."

Before he could finish his words, the dagger had already fallen to the ground with a clang.

Qin Shu supported Zhang Cheng, who was paralyzed by the poison needle, and quickly picked up a stray arrow that had fallen under the carriage and forcefully inserted it into Zhang Cheng's chest.

The blood from Zhang Cheng's chest splattered onto Qin Shu's hands, warm and sticky, making people feel sick.

But strangely, Qin Shu felt that the blood in her body was boiling.

She let go of Zhang Cheng and watched him slowly fall to the ground like a fish off the shore, breathing desperately with his mouth open.

Blood foam came out of his mouth with his breathing, his eyes were wide open but his gaze was gradually becoming unfocused.

Finally, the fish that came ashore stayed out of the water for too long and stopped breathing.

Qin Shu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the dagger that Zhang Cheng had dropped on the ground, turned around and tried to crawl out from under the carriage, but was startled by someone who quietly appeared behind her.

Qin An Ning had no scars on his body except for his messy hair.

His facial features were distorted by excessive hatred. He reached out, grabbed one of Qin Shu's ankles, and pulled it out suddenly.

Qin Shu was pulled to the ground on her back, and the dagger in her hand was thrown out.

She kicked Qin An Ning with her other foot, but Qin An Ning dodged it easily.

After pulling Qin Shu out from under the carriage, Qin An Ning reached out and grabbed Qin Shu's arm and lifted her up from the ground.

Qin Shu used the hand with the ring on it to hit Qin An Ning, but was grabbed by Qin An Ning's wrist again.

Qin An Ning roughly pulled the ring off Qin Shu's finger, held it in his hand and sneered, "Just now, you used this to subdue that old man?"

He looked at the ring carefully, then turned to look at Qin Shu and sneered.

Just when Qin Shu thought he would use the ring against her, Qin An Ning put the ring into his sleeve pocket.

Then he held Qin Shu's hand and whispered, "Follow me."

This move confused Qin Shu.

What does Qin An Ning mean?

Could it be that he still wants to play the brother-sister game with me?

We are not children anymore.

Everyone understands that the hatred for killing one's father is irreconcilable.

Qin Shu wanted to see what Qin An Ning was up to, so she followed him.

When Qin An Ning was studying, he was also a young man in fine clothes and riding a horse. He was good at riding horses, hunting, reciting poems and composing essays.

Now, pulling Qin Shu, he very skillfully hid behind a tree using the carriage as cover, then jumped down several trenches, weaved in and out of bushes that were more than one person tall, and soon got away from the fighting scene.

Until the sound of fighting could no longer be heard, Qin Shu shook her hands vigorously and said coldly: "That's enough, it's enough here, just say it."

Qin An Ning looked at Qin Shu with complicated eyes, and after hesitating for a long time, he called out, "Big sister."

Qin Shu chuckled, "Brother, don't be like this. Have you been with Zhang Cheng for too long and are you pretending too much?"

Qin An Ning retracted her complicated expression and sneered, "We are the same. During the funeral, didn't the elder sister pretend to be weak and helpless when she was bullied?"

He stared at Qin Shu's eyes and suddenly asked, "What secret does that blood jade bracelet hide?"

Qin Shu sneered, "Cousin, how come you two are all crazy? What secrets can a bracelet have? Besides, didn't you take the bracelet away a long time ago? How come you haven't figured it out yet?"

Qin An Ning pursed her lips tightly and looked at Qin Shu without saying a word.

Qin Shu sneered, "If my eldest cousin knows the secret, please tell my cousin. To be honest, my cousin is also very curious."

Hearing this, Qin An Ning retracted his gaze, looked around vigilantly, and asked: "Then, where did all the things that disappeared in the East Palace go?"

Qin Shu laughed, "You and your father are really persistent. You don't know clearly in your heart that these people today are the answer."

Qin An Ning was puzzled, "What?"

Qin Shu said indifferently: "Didn't you tell Zhang Cheng that if I gave the silver to someone, that person would definitely send someone to protect me?"

Qin An Ning was startled, "Is this really the mark you left behind?"

He looked into Qin Shu's eyes repeatedly, "How did you do it?"

Zhang Cheng specifically instructed the guards who were left behind to pay close attention to any traces on the road.

Unexpectedly, under their close surveillance, Qin Shu still spread the news.

Qin Shu sneered, "Why didn't someone follow me when I was just taken away by you?"

"Is it Prince Jin?"

Qin Shu had a cold face and did not answer.

Qin An Ning gnashed his teeth and said, "You really have surrendered to King Jin!"

Later, he sneered again and said with disdain: "Prince Jin has now been enfeoffed, but Prince Ning has been left in the capital by the emperor to learn government from him. Do you know what this means?"

Qin Shu said: "My cousin is the daughter of a merchant, she has limited knowledge, how can she be as knowledgeable as my cousin."

Qin An Ning heard sarcasm in these words and immediately became angry and embarrassed. He grabbed Qin Shu's wrist and dragged her deeper into the woods.

Qin Shu struggled hard and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

Qin An Ning did not answer. He dragged Qin Shu to the edge of a cliff, then took out a bone whistle from his arms, put it in his mouth and blew it twice.

The bone whistle made a low, faint sound, and as soon as the whistle stopped, several men in black quickly surrounded this side from the woods.

Qin An Ning sneered, "Do you think His Highness Prince Ning will bet all his treasures on Zhang Cheng? His Highness has long wanted to get rid of Zhang Cheng, and this time it just so happens that Prince Jin's people have come to the door, wouldn't it be a pity not to use them?"

He winked at the man in black and said, "Take him away!"

Qin Shu felt something was wrong and turned around to escape.

Two men in black quickly stood in front of her.

At this moment, a buzzing sound of iron cutting through the air suddenly sounded, and two sharp flying knives attacked the two men in black.

The man in black subconsciously flipped backwards to avoid the flying knife.

At the same time, a bamboo whip snaked around Qin Shu's waist like a snake, and was quickly taken back with her and held in the arms of the man.

The man kicked Qin An Ning like lightning.

Qin An Ning was kicked so hard that he flew far away, rolled a long way on the ground, and suddenly disappeared from the ground.

There are also more than ten people here, fighting with the men in black.

Qin Shu turned her head and her gaze instantly fell into a pair of familiar eyes.

The man covered his face, smiled brightly at her, and whispered, "Let's go first."

Seeing that he was no match for his opponent, the man in black took Qin Shu away again. He made a feint and quickly disappeared.

As the sound of fighting died down, Qin Anning's cry for help from below the cliff became even more miserable, "Help! Is there anyone, please save me..."
