After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

Hiding here might be temporarily safe, but Li Yan would definitely not be rescued, and there was no point in waiting to die safely.

Walking onto the official road can help people discover you faster, so you can either be rescued faster and have a chance of survival, or die faster and be completely finished.

Shen Ning has never been a person who sits and waits for death. If Li Yan is destined to die, she cannot accept watching him die. At least she should do something. Maybe God will favor her again because of her hard work.

Li Yan felt that his hope of survival was slim, but he had no good suggestions, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Shen Ning seemed to have noticed his discomfort, and started telling him the stories he knew while walking and talking non-stop.

First it was from operas, then it was interesting things I encountered myself, and then it was stories I read in miscellaneous travel notes.

Li Yan's attention was really diverted. He listened in a daze, and could still tell whether he had heard or seen it before.

Shen Ning spoke until his mouth was dry and blisters formed. Sweat was dripping down his face. His shoulder, which had been injured before, seemed to be broken again.

Feeling that the person behind her didn't respond at all, she felt a little panicked.

"Prince, Qin Yan, Qin Yan? Are you still alive?"

"You're dead. Looks like I'll have to be buried with you even without a killer."

"I've thought of thousands of ways to die, but this was totally unexpected."

"It's a pity that my caravan hasn't been formed yet. I still want to make a lot of money and become the richest woman. I didn't expect to fail here."

Shen Ning kept talking, his tone was light, but it sounded like he was about to collapse.

Li Yan was fuzzy and yelled softly: "It hurts..."

Shen Ning felt like she was hearing heavenly sounds, tears streaming down her face. She quickly closed her eyes to clear her blurry vision and continued walking with him on her back.

"Be good, the pain proves that you are still alive. The pain won't last long, and someone will come to rescue us soon."

Shen Ning coaxed him while carrying him on her back, but the closer they got to the roadside, the more weeds and bushes there were. She had to push aside the grass while carrying him on her back, which was really difficult.

The sharp leaves cut her cheeks and blood was all over her arms, but she didn't care about the pain at the moment.

Finally, they came to a slightly spacious place, from where they could see the official road from afar. Shen Ning really couldn't walk anymore.

Li Yan was put on the ground, and his head was propped up with clothes so that he could lie flat.

Shen Ning's face was covered in sweat, his lips were cracked, and his head was dizzy. He had just said too much, and now that he had put the man down, he couldn't say a word.

She didn't look at Li Yan, but leaned against the tree trunk to breathe. After a moment, she calmed down and walked towards the pile of grass. She picked out some grass and put it in her mouth to chew.

I was so thirsty that smoke was coming out of my mouth.

Li Yan was completely unconscious. He turned his head slightly as if looking at her, but it seemed as if he was not looking at anything.

Shen Ning looked towards the official road, waiting for the final judgment.

But this prince doesn't seem to be favored by God.

Watching the assassin in black coming down, Shen Ning felt calm as if the dust had settled in his heart: "I lost!"

Li Yan was lying on the ground, looking like a corpse, and Shen Ning was even more miserable. His body was covered with dirt and grass debris, and his face was covered with wounds cut by grass leaves. Blood beads of various sizes were all over his face. He looked so miserable and half-dead, without any aggressiveness. The killer did not take action immediately after seeing this scene.

Although he was powerless to save the situation, Shen Ning still walked to Li Yan and half-hugged him in his arms.

The leading assassin walked over slowly, his eyes shifted from Li Yan to Shen Ning's face: "You are not from the East Palace, leave immediately, I won't kill you."

Shen Ning looked up in surprise at the man. All the other killers had their faces covered, but he showed his face openly. He had an ordinary face that could not be found in a crowd, but his temperament was very special.

She stared for a while and suddenly laughed. Her mouth hurt so much that she couldn't speak, so she mouthed three words: Wang Xiaoya.

The killer's eyes suddenly became sharp, but the corners of his eyes slightly raised. He did not become angry and kill to silence the witness because of being recognized.

Shen Ning was not afraid at all. He leaned back against the tree trunk and looked up at the sky.

It was such a nice day today, with a clear sky and not a cloud in the sky. It was so nice, she didn't like dying in the snow.

"Keng!"

A sword stabbed towards Li Yan's throat. No matter whether he was dead or alive, he had to die.

But the sword failed to penetrate.

Shen Ning's hand was blocking there, and the sword pierced her arm, only half an inch away from Li Yan's throat.

Wang Erya, Tao Ji, or perhaps she should be called the Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox.

She stared at Shen Ning's injured arm and narrowed her eyes: "You are willing to risk everything for him."

Shen Ning's body was shaking with pain, tears were falling, but she forced a sad smile and spoke in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to... but I have protected him all the way... I can't give up at this moment."

Her throat hurt, as if she had a piece of burning coal in her mouth. “How can you let him go this time…You can set any conditions.”

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox smiled and said, "Don't mention it. I'm really tempted, but unfortunately, I can't bargain this time. But don't worry, I won't kill you. As long as you follow me, I won't let you be implicated."

Whether it was the first kidnapping or the several times she interacted with her when she was Tao Ji, she had a good impression of Shen Ning. Moreover, she had always been in disguise and no one knew her true face. Tao Ji was just an identity and it didn't matter if she was recognized.

Shen Ning smiled awkwardly. Should she thank her?

The injured hand was slowly removed from the sword, and blood splattered all over Li Yan's face.

This cute baby face looked extremely glaring when stained with blood.

Shen Ning wanted to wipe it clean with his sleeve, but the more he wiped, the dirtier it became. In the end, he simply closed his eyes. Never mind. He was going to die anyway. Why bother with all this?

The Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox didn't waste time talking to her and swung his sword at the prince again.

"Ding!"

The buzzing sound of metal colliding was deafening.

Shen Ning watched helplessly as an arrow hit the tip of the sword, emitting dazzling sparks that stung her eyes.

The next moment, more arrows were shot down, forcing Thousand-Faced Ghost Fox and the others to dodge backwards.

Shen Ning stared blankly at the rain of arrows falling in front of him. The arrows penetrated deeply into the ground. Most of the arrows were inserted into the ground, leaving only the tails trembling continuously.

Any one of these arrows would have been deadly, but they all avoided her.

saved?

Shen Ning was stunned. Before she could feel joy in her heart, someone embraced her.

That breath was... Shen Ning slowly raised her head, and she saw Qin Zhuo's stern face, his jawline was taut and extremely sharp, his eyes were bloodshot and murderous.

She wanted to say something, but everything went dark before her eyes and she knew nothing.

Her only thought before she fell into darkness was: It’s great that this time I won’t die in the snow and ice, and I can die in the arms of the person I love, so it’s a good deal.
