The team escorting Xia Qiulian and his relatives had already entered a deep mountain.

Murong Qi is not familiar with this place, but with his keen nature, he felt something was wrong when he looked around.

The mountain road is steep, with deep forests on both sides, which is very suitable for ambush and interception.

Although the soldiers escorted this time were veterans selected from thousands of battles, he had to be extremely vigilant.

After all, in the carriage, apart from the daughter of Xiangguo Jiang, there was also a noble princess, Her Royal Highness.

Here is the unfamiliar territory of Jiang Country, the strong dragon can't overwhelm the snake, let alone a dragon that is not familiar with the water and soil of the territory.

He didn't understand that the Emperor Jiang wanted to send someone to escort them out of Jiang, but the princess asked him to decline.

In an unfamiliar land, even if you are careful, you will inevitably make mistakes, but Her Royal Highness strongly opposes Jiang Guoren's escort, which really puzzles him.

The people outside the car walked carefully and were extremely vigilant.

There are also some abnormalities in the car.

Qingyuan and Lvruan leaned together, their eyes turned back and forth on Xia Qiulian and Yan Banting.

It seems that just after this strange woman who got into the car suddenly said that she wanted to make friends with a young lady.

The atmosphere is a bit wrong.

"Miss Li sincerely wants to make friends with me?"

Xia Qiulian looked at Yan Wanting with a calm expression, but her voice trembled slightly.

"Miss Xia suspects that I have other ideas."

Yan Wanting raised his eyebrows.

"Qiu Lian has no such intentions. If Ms. Li wants to make friends, Qiu Lian will naturally be able to ask for it."

Xia Qiulian calmed down, she lowered her head, and the doubts in her eyes grew more and more.

She didn't want to doubt Yan Wanting, but she had to.

The acquaintance of Yan Wanting in this life is very different from the previous life, and there are many coincidences in the previous life.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Xia definitely doesn't believe it. The first time I saw Ms. Xia, I felt kind. My mother... my mother passed away when I was young. When I miss her, I often look at her portrait and see Since then, Miss Xia has felt that Miss Xia is somewhat similar to my mother."

Yan Wanting's eyes dimmed a little, and when she mentioned her mother who had passed away, she felt a little sad.

Xia Qiuling was stunned.

She and Yan Banting's mother and concubine?

She didn't know about this matter, even in her previous life, Yan Wanting never mentioned it to her.

This is even more weird.

It was like a mess in my head, without the slightest clue, and I couldn't solve the mystery no matter what.

The suspicion in his heart was approaching, Xia Qiulian was even a little impulsive, and wanted to ask Yan Banting directly.

Just don't know how to speak.

Do you want her to ask directly, are you reborn after death like me? Do you remember that I killed you in my previous life?

If not, Yan Wanting would definitely regard her as a lunatic.

If so, Yan Wanting will definitely not admit it.

Xia Qiulian was thinking deeply with her head lowered and her brows furrowed.

There was a sudden exclamation from outside the car.

"Be careful."

Then there was a sound like a sharp knife piercing the air, and there was a muffled sound on the right side of the carriage.

"Array."

Murong Qi opened his eyes wide in anger, drew his sword and roared.

The soldiers drew their swords one after another, surrounded the carriage, and looked around vigilantly.

Murong Qi clamped his legs, and rode his horse to the carriage.

Just now he heard a sound of piercing through the air, and when he looked back, he saw a sharp arrow shooting towards him rapidly.

In the middle of the side of the carriage, half-pointed into the wood.

"Murong, what happened, someone robbed me?"

Yan Wanting sat up from the couch with a serious face and asked in a deep voice.

"Miss, don't come out, don't worry, I will escort you away safely."

Murong Qi's voice came from outside the car, but he didn't know if he wanted to comfort someone's heart.

Qingyuan and Lvruan had never encountered such a thing before, when they heard Yan Banting say the word Jiedao, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly guarded Xia Qiulian's side from left to right.

Although Xia Qiulian had never encountered such a thing before, her face remained unchanged and her expression was calm. She looked up at Yan Wanting, and her eyes fell on her.

"Miss Xia, don't get out of the carriage. I'll go and see what happened."

Yan Wanting frowned, she glanced at Xia Qiulian hastily, and ordered to go out.

"No."

Pale and cold fingertips gently grabbed the corner of Yan Wanting's clothes.

"Don't go out, General Murong is here, you... don't go."

Seeing that Yan Wanting was about to go out, Xia Qiulian didn't care about anything, and hurried forward, gathered her fingertips and tightly grasped the corner of Yan Wanting's clothes.

She was pale, with a little panic in her eyes, and her flowery face couldn't hide her worry.

"Miss Xia, don't worry, I have practiced martial arts for several years, but I'm not afraid of those little ones who rob me."

Yan Wanting was stunned for a moment, and after a moment, she smiled in a low voice, reaching out to brush Xia Qiulian's hand away.

But what she didn't expect was that Xia Qiulian grabbed it so hard that she couldn't brush it away with her hand.

"Don't go, you are here with me, don't go out."

Xu thought of something, Xia Qiulian's face became paler, and his clear and shining eyes slightly enlarged, showing a bit of panic.

His usually cold tone was also a little bit emotional, trembling with sorrow.

It's just that Yan Wanting didn't understand her worry and panic. He covered Xia Qiulian's cold fingertips with his warm palm, and then gently opened it.

As soon as the fingertips that were exerting force tightly touched the familiar warm skin, they couldn't help trembling slightly, and were easily torn apart.

"If Miss Xia is afraid, then stay in the carriage."

Yan Wanting's phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, the eyes were as gentle as a spring breeze, but her body turned around crisply.

Yan Wanting nimbly got out of the carriage, but Xia Qiulian's hand didn't have time to grab her, so he just grabbed her in the air.

"Murong, what's going on?"

Yan Wanting got out of the carriage, jumped out of the carriage, stood beside Murong Qi and joined him, looking at the feathered arrow on the carriage.

"Why did you come out, my aunt, if something happens to you, I can't afford it, so go in and hide."

As soon as Murong Qi saw Yan Wanting coming out so calmly, his tall body quickly blocked and protected Yan Wanting behind him.

"Don't think of me as some kind of delicate young lady. I don't know how many times I beat you to the ground in the martial arts arena. Do you still remember?"

Yan Wanting frowned somewhat dissatisfied, and flashed out from behind Murong Qi.

"That was how many years ago. I have been on the battlefield a few times. Real guns and swords are not as good as a martial arts competition. Don't be stubborn, go in quickly."

Seeing that Yan Wanting was exposed again, Murong Qi quickly turned sideways to block it.

As the saying goes, it is easy to hide with a gun and difficult to defend against an arrow. The archer hides in a dark place without knowing his purpose. Now is the time to wait and see what happens.

Who can guard against a stab in the back.

"Miss Li."

A soft call sounded from behind Yan Wanting.

Yan Wanting turned his head and saw Xia Qiulian had come out of the carriage, standing on a high place, his face was as pale as paper, and his expression was a little strange.

Xia Qiulian's hand slowly reached out to Yan Banting.

"Don't be brave, follow me in."

Xia Qiulian's voice was weak and trembling, and she looked at Yan Banting with earnest and firm eyes.

Yan Wanting looked up at her, dumbfounded.

She didn't seem to expect that Xia Qiulian would dare to follow her out.

Xia Qiulian just held her hand in front of Yan Wanting, refusing to take it back, as if she wanted Yan Wanting to hold her hand.

"My aunt, one is not enough, I need two."

Murong Qi caressed his forehead angrily and helplessly, he didn't care about superiority and inferiority, he stretched out his hand to push Yan Wanting into it.

Only then did the hand stretch out, and the sound of piercing through the air was heard behind him.

Yan Wanting's face changed, and she rushed towards Xia Qiulian without hesitation.

The back hit the hardwood, and the pain made Xia Qiulian's eyes go dark for a moment.

The warm and fishy-smelling liquid dripped on Xia Qiulian's lips, which smelled of salty rust.

This is, the smell of blood.

Xia Qiulian opened her eyes with effort, and raised her head from Yan Banting's chest.

Yan Wanting's face appeared in front of her.

The person who was frowning tightly seemed to be enduring the pain, but her cold eyes were vaguely disappointed and painful.

It seems to be resenting something, but also seems to be celebrating something.

There was more and more blood dripping on her cheeks, Xia Qiulian seemed to have ringing in her ears, she couldn't hear anything, she just stared blankly at Yan Banting who was pressing on her.

Looking at the blood winding down from her white neck.

"sorry."

Xia Qiulian opened her lips, her eyes darkened, and she fell into the darkness.
