Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

It was late at night, and although flames were blazing in the distance, the forest remained pitch black.

Gu Zhen rushed out of the dense forest and chased towards the river in the east of his memory. There were fleeing civilians along the way, some climbing up trees or hiding among rocks, so their lives should not be in danger anymore.

She didn't see Gu Fan and the others, so she couldn't help but feel worried.

They hurried to the riverside. There was an open area outside the dense forest. In the moonlight, they could see a dark spot on the ground. Gu Zhen jumped off his horse and took a closer look. He found that it was indeed blood.

Gu Zhen jumped on his horse and followed the blood trail downstream. After a while, he heard the sound of fighting.

Crown Prince Yin Ling covered his arm, obviously injured.

The people ran away.

There were only three men in black left, all of them were injured, but they were still desperate to assassinate Yin Ling.

Gu Zhen pushed the horse hard, holding the long knife she had picked up in her hand. As she ran closer, she shouted, "Master Yin, get on the horse!"

Yin Ling's face turned pale and he could hardly hold on any longer. Without much hesitation, he jumped onto the horse and fell behind Gu Zhen.

A sharp arrow came from behind and pierced Yin Ling's back. He groaned, fell on Gu Zhen's back and fainted.

Gu Zhen had no choice but to throw away the knife, holding Yin Ling with one hand and riding the horse at full speed with the other.

There were still footsteps behind them, but they were far slower than the speed of the horses. Gu Zhen and Yin Ling had no idea how long they had been running. It was dark at night and they had lost their way long ago. Before they knew it, they had reached the depths of the forest.

Gu Zhen gritted his teeth and dragged Yin Ling, stumbling until they found a cave.

She settled the people down, went out and patted the horse's butt, "Go, the farther the better."

This was the escort team's horse, very human-like. It rubbed her gently, then galloped away.

Gu Zhen simply covered up the traces, went into the cave, and used branches, dry grass and stones to cover it. After finishing all this, she collapsed tiredly and leaned against a stone.

Yin Ling lay on the ground, and it was unknown whether she was alive or dead.

Gu Zhen sniffed his breath and found that he was still alive. After taking his pulse, she found that in addition to external injuries, his internal organs were also damaged. If she had come a step later, he would have definitely died at the hands of the barbarians.

I wonder if saving the prince will give me a backer in the North in the future?

Gu Zhen took off Yin Ling's outer robe and used his clothes to bandage the wound hastily. The arrow in his back could not be removed for the time being, so it must have not hit a vital point and his life would not be in danger.

Yin Ling woke up in pain and groaned, "Medicine...I have medicine in my arms..."

He was in so much pain that he was unconscious and even forgot to hide his identity.

Gu Zhen touched his nose, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill for him to swallow.

Yin Ling took the secret medicine from the palace, and the pain was relieved a lot. "Thank you for saving me, Master Gu. I will definitely repay you generously in the future."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and fell asleep.

.

The next morning, the sun illuminated the forest. Fortunately, the fire did not spread to the entire forest, but it burned a large area.

The smell of the burning corpse was sickening.

After a whole night of melee, except for the three men in black who were chasing the prince, the rest were either dead or escaped.

There were twenty-one Shadow Guards, but now only four are left, and all of them are injured and unable to move.

Ning Yuan was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

If Siqin had not been smart last night and exchanged clothes with him to lure away a large number of pursuers, and then cleverly jumped into the river to escape, there would probably be even more casualties.

Ning Yuan lay in Gu Fan's arms, his brows furrowed and his lips pale.

A good escort mission turned out to be like this.

Fei Dajin was in a heavy mood. He called together his only six remaining subordinates and asked them to act separately, with four of them going to look for the people who had fled, and two going into the city to get help.

After working for a whole morning, people finally came back one after another.

Everyone gathered by the river, sighing.

The good thing was that except for the merchant named Bai Changqing who died, the rest of the people only lost some money and goods, but their lives were not in danger.

After things calmed down, some people dared to complain, "Your escort team is responsible for this. We are implicated. How can we seek justice for this?"

"That's right! Those goods are all our wealth. If they are burned now, I won't be able to afford the compensation if the boss asks for compensation!"

"What should we do now? How do we get to the North? Everyone is dead!"

Fei Dajin clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "Don't worry, our Weiyuan Escort Agency will take full responsibility for all your losses. It will take another half a day to reach Guanyuan Town, where there is also a branch of our Escort Agency. We will regroup and ensure that everyone arrives safely in the North!"

Weiyuan Escort Agency has a good reputation and will not cheat people. Even though the goods were lost, they can still get compensation in silver. So everyone kept silent and squatted by the river waiting.

Not long after, Ning Yuan woke up. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and vomited blood as soon as he opened his mouth.

Gu Fan quickly wiped him with a handkerchief, "Mr. Ning, how are you?"

She was extremely panicked, not only because Ning Yuan had repeatedly protected her yesterday and got injured, but she was also worried about the whereabouts of her sister Gu Zhen and Si Qin.

The great-grandmother and the children were all there, which made Gu Fan feel somewhat relieved.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and in her panic she had forgotten to hide her voice. As soon as her soft and gentle voice came out, Fei Dajin next to her looked over first.

It turned out to be a woman. After years of wandering around, he had made a mistake in his judgment.

Fei Dajin comforted him, "Mr. Ning has already taken the medicine, his life will not be in danger, you don't have to worry."

"Where...where is the young master?" Ning Yuan spoke with difficulty and looked at Fei Dajin anxiously.

This was the second time the prince had gotten into trouble. If he lost his life, the emperor would surely be furious. Ning Yuan and Yin Ling were also fellow apprentices and had an extraordinary relationship. He was really worried.

No one knew Yin Ling's whereabouts. Fei Dajin looked away, unable to answer.

Ning Yuan felt disappointed and struggled to get up and go find him, but was held down by Gu Fan.

"You can't even protect yourself. If you don't want to die, just lie down obediently!" Gu Fan said anxiously. If he hadn't been unable to stop coughing up blood as soon as he lay down and almost choked himself to death, she wouldn't have kept hugging him.

Ning Yuan felt dizzy and leaned in Gu Fan's arms. He was indeed too weak to get up. It took him a long while to realize where his face was leaning.

But Gu Fan didn't react. Her mind was not here. She looked left and right anxiously, hoping that familiar figure would appear.

After waiting for a while, a tall and thin man ran over from the downstream river bank. Gu Fan's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Si Qin!"

Si Qin was still wearing Ning Yuan's clothes and was shivering from the cold. The escort team members hurried over and carried him over.

After warming himself by the fire for a while, he finally felt some sensation in his hands and feet.

As soon as Ning Yuan saw him, he knew what had happened and thanked him sincerely.

If it weren't for them this time, we would have been in real danger.

Once they find the prince, they will definitely reward these people well.

But until sunset, when the troops stationed in Guanyuan Town arrived, they still hadn't found the whereabouts of Yin Ling and Gu Zhen.
