The man in black threw a black flint, and its trajectory was almost invisible in the dark night. Liang jumped up and dodged it with his agility, and the black flint hit the tree trunk, breaking it with a loud bang.

Baili Yue was so frightened that she almost fainted. Ye Yunzi stared at the man in black, cold sweat oozing from her forehead, and whispered, "It's too dark at night, I can't see clearly... Aliang may not be able to hold on."

Although Ah Liang was a skilled martial artist, her continuous dodging gradually depleted her strength. If she continued like this, she would soon be exhausted. The man in black had obviously lost his patience. What he had thought was a piece of cake was now being avoided by this woman like a clever monkey.

As the black flints continue to strike, the battle becomes more intense, and it seems that the contest between Aliang and the man in black has just begun.

"Don't waste time, get it done!" a man in black ordered coldly.

"Understood." Ah Liang responded, not daring to delay. She knew that she had to fight quickly. If she delayed, more guards would be attracted and the situation would be difficult to handle.

Just as Aliang figured out the opponent's routine, dodged a black flint and counterattacked with a sword, the man in black suddenly sneered, "There is this one."

Aliang's face suddenly changed, and he realized that another black firestone was approaching quietly. By the time he reacted, it was too late to dodge. "Aliang!" Ye Yunzi shouted anxiously.

Although Aliang tried her best to twist her body, she was still hit. She flew sideways and fell heavily to the ground, with blood staining her clothes.

"Aliang! Aliang..." Ye Yunzi was about to run towards her, but suddenly her eyes went dark - a sack fell from the sky and covered her. "Let me go!" She struggled, but a knife chopped her neck, causing her to lose consciousness instantly.

Baili Yue was also unable to escape and was also caught in a sack, crying and resisting. The men in black looked at the two full human-shaped sacks, gestured, and quickly evacuated. Soon, the Ye family returned to peace.

When Ye Heng led his men to the scene, the intruder had already disappeared. He immediately ordered a pursuit and hurried to the courtyard where Ye Yunzi was to inquire about the situation.

"Where is Yunzi?" Ye Heng asked anxiously.

The servants searched everywhere, but the yard was empty. Ye Yunzi and the Thirteenth Princess were nowhere to be seen.

"We must bring them back!" After the order was given, the rescue operation was immediately launched.

Ye Luoan and Ye Shi were extremely worried after hearing the news. Ye Shi almost fainted on the spot, "My Yun Zi..."

Ye Luoan supported Ye Shi steadily, his face solemn, "Sister, I'm going to find Yunzi!"

"You guys take good care of the lady." After saying that, Ye Luoan hurried to the yard, only to see Ye Heng supporting the injured Aliang and checking his wound.

Aliang's arm was severely injured and bloody as he blocked a black flint for Ye Yunzi. Ye Heng's eyes fell on the shocking wound, and his heart was heavy.

Seeing this scene, Ye Luoan gasped, "Aliang! Call a doctor quickly, otherwise this arm..." He didn't finish his words, because everyone knew that such an injury might very likely mean losing this arm.

Who caused this scar? Ah Liang's martial arts skills are superb, even a well-trained killer can hardly resist her sword. What kind of power can cause her such a serious injury?

"It's black flint." Ye Heng's voice was like an ice blade.

"Black Firestone?" Ye Luoan repeated in surprise, and then his face suddenly changed, "Kui Muzhu's work?"

"That's right." Ye Heng's expression was unprecedentedly stern, "Only him, no one else."

"We have been hunting for him for many years and finally tracked him down."

"Sir..." Ye Luoan felt mixed emotions. As Ye Heng's followers for many years, they had been tracking the black firestone, but they never thought they would find clues in the capital. At this moment, what worried him most was that Yunzi and the Thirteenth Princess were kidnapped by Kuimuzhu's men.

"Sir, you must find Kuimuzhu, Yunzi..." Ye Luoan's face was full of worry. Compared with the black fire stone, he was more worried about Yunzi's safety.

Ye Heng nodded, "Don't worry, I have sent people to track him down."

Upon learning that someone was injured, Ye hurriedly sent someone to invite Doctor Tao. Tao Qiming hurried over and saw the severity of Ah Liang's injuries - the wound shocked even the knowledgeable man. He immediately ordered all the hemostatic powder to be brought, and personally treated Ah Liang's burns, applying a large amount of hemostatic medicine and letting her take blood-replenishing pills.

After more than an hour of hard work, Tao Qiming finally completed the initial treatment. After finishing, he asked Yu Shu about the situation, but Yu Shu burst into tears because she was worried about the young lady.

Just when the atmosphere was tense, Ye Heng walked in and interrupted Yu Shu's words, "Thank you, Doctor Tao, for coming to treat me late at night."

Tao Qiming replied, "I have tried my best to treat Aliang's wound. He will need to change the dressing every day and take medicine on time. As for whether the hand function can be restored, I can't guarantee it."

"Thank you for your hard work." Ye Heng nodded, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes, and looked at Aliang who was still unconscious and pale.

Aliang lay there, sweat soaking her forehead.

Tao Qiming asked Ye Heng anxiously: "Where is Miss Ye now?"

Ye Heng frowned, obviously not wanting to answer. He interrupted the maid just now because he wanted to conceal the fact that Ye Yunzi was taken away, fearing that once the news spread, it would damage her reputation.

But Tao Qiming noticed something was wrong, and his hands began to tremble involuntarily: "Please tell me, what happened to Miss Ye?"

Ye Heng forced a smile and said, "Yunzi is fine. I have something important to deal with. I won't waste Doctor Tao's time. Yu Shu, show the guests out."

This answer made Tao Qiming even more suspicious. If Miss Ye was fine, she should come out to see him in person. So, before he turned around and left, he asked Yu Shu for details.

Yu Shu remembered the young lady's trust in Doctor Tao, so she told him the truth - it turned out that the young lady was forcibly taken away by a group of men in black.

Hearing this, Tao Qiming's face suddenly changed: "Then why don't you go after her? Find Miss Ye quickly!"

"We have sent people to look for her." Ye Heng said helplessly. Since the matter had been exposed, he begged, "Doctor Tao, please keep it a secret. This matter concerns Yunzi's reputation."

Tao Qiming nodded in agreement, his heart filled with worry for Miss Ye's safety. If he had been there, he would have tried his best to protect her. Looking at the injured woman on the bed, he couldn't help but blame himself, thinking that if there was a master like Brother Ning, he would definitely be able to protect Miss Ye.

On the road outside the city, Rong Mingxuan was leading soldiers chasing a team of carriages. It was said that the fourth prince was hiding in it and trying to escape from the capital. Time was running out and he had to be intercepted as soon as possible.

When the target was found, Rong Mingxuan immediately ordered to speed up. The soldiers acted quickly, surrounded the carriage, and ordered it to stop.

The driver was terrified, and hurriedly pulled the reins, fell off the cart, and said in defense: "Sir, I am doing legitimate business, and I have done nothing illegal!"
