After the burst sound of flying arrows, there was a fight from the outside, and it seemed that the people who lurk in the woods had come out.

Bai Zhi quietly crawled to the entrance of the carriage and sneaked half of her head to look outside. She saw a black-masked man was kicked on the ground by Hu Feng. The mask on his face was blown away because of his heavy fall.

When Bai Zhi saw the man’s face, she finds it familiar. Isn’t he the same thug bullying Awu that day?

In other words, the person who ambushed them today is Boss Qian? Isn’t Boss Qian the brother-in-law of Gu Daren?

Now that Meng Nan left, he can’t wait to start with her. It seems that he really regarded Qingyuan Town as their backyard.

Then another rain of arrows broke through the sky. The arrows were flying towards Bai Zhi. She quickly crawled back and avoided an arrow. The sharp arrow hit her hair and went straight to the horse’s butt.

The horse was frightened by the sudden fight, but because his master didn’t wave the reins, it didn’t dare to move. However, because an arrow pierced to its butt, it screamed and ran away.

Hu Feng, who got rid of the two fighters was planning to go to the woods, to pull out the men, who kept sending arrows. But the carriage suddenly ran wildly, where Bai Zhi is.

Hu Feng immediately ran to chase the carriage.

The horse ran like a madman on the road. Bai Zhi wanted to grab the reins, but the carriage kept shaking wildly. She couldn’t move forward, let alone grab the reins.

The mountain road ahead was getting steeper and steeper. If the carriage continues to shake wildly like this, it will break soon. And the horse and Bai Zhi will likely fall on the cliff with the carriage.

Hu Feng tried his best to catch up with the carriage. He was like a god descended from the sky. He appeared in front of the helpless and panicking Bai Zhi. He extended his hand to her and said: “Come here.”

The moment Bai Zhi saw Hu Feng, the panic and fear inside her heart disappeared without a trace. She knew that as long as Hu Feng was there, nothing bad will happen to her. As long as he was there, she has nothing to be afraid of.

Bai Zhi reached out to Hu Feng. Hu Feng grabbed her tightly and pulled her close to his chest. He wrapped his arm to her slender waist and jumped away to the crazy carriage.

However, things didn’t get much better, the moment they jumped off the carriage, dozens of boulders rolled down from the mountain hill, and coming their way.

Hu Feng hugged Bai Zhi and evade the tumbling rocks. The mountain road was narrow. When a huge stone came on top of their head, Hu Feng had no choice, but to jump down the hillside with Bai Zhi.

She leaned close on his chest and closed her eyes tightly. All she could hear was the wind and his heartbeat, as Hu Feng’s body kept falling.

Hu Feng inserted the long sword on the mountain wall to reduce the gravity of their falling.

Seeing that they were about to land on the ground, Hu Feng tried his best to turn over his body and let Bai Zhi be on top of him. He regarded himself and let his body be her shield.

*thud* Hu Feng’s body fell heavily on the ground, while Bai Zhi lay unscathed in his arms.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Hu Feng lying on the ground with closed eyes, but she was kept intact in his arms.

Bai Zhi hurriedly climbed down from his body and reached out her arm to push Hu Feng’s body: “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”

Hu Feng didn’t respond to her, his eyes were still closed.
