The carriage was not very fast and steadily exited the city gate, then turned back along the original route.
Without a "force" on the road, Qin Songyun did not dare to spend the night in the wild like before.
He would rather go slower and longer, but also take into account the safety of the two girls in the carriage.
Fortunately, the trip went smoothly. More than half a month later, we were only half a mountain away from the town.
"Miss Mo, Sister Jiaxin, please come down and rest first."
Mo Shixi and Ruan Jiaxin got off the carriage. Qin Songyun handed over two water bags, then pointed in the direction down the mountain and said:
"Miss Mo, we have climbed over this mountain and arrived at the town. Huan...that person's task entrusted to me has been completed. Miss Mo, I still need to be sent to the mountain."
Mo Shixi knew the name he was swallowing. She shook her head. The meaning was very clear - there was no need to continue sending.
Speaking of Huan Rongxing, during this half-month journey, there really wasn't even a trace of him.
It seemed like he had truly let go.
Mo Shixi opened the water bag and took a big sip, feeling a little complicated.
In fact, she didn't hate Huan Rongxing as much as she showed. Whether it was the days in the mountains or the days when she was imprisoned, he gave everything he had.
As long as she showed the slightest hint of wanting something, Huan Rongxing would find it for her, even if it was a treasure from far and wide that required traveling up mountains and down rivers.
Unfortunately, at that time, he could not give himself the freedom he wanted most.
Mo Shixi put down her thoughts and rested for a moment outside the carriage, then was greeted to continue her journey.
"Miss Mo, let's go. Let's set off early and try to get to the town before dark."
The carriage was swaying forward, and suddenly, there was a "whistle" of wind.
"Miss Mo, Sister Jiaxin, there are assassins. You should hide in the carriage for the time being and act according to the opportunity."
Immediately, Qin Songyun flew up and faced the assassins in black who were surrounding him.
"who are you?"
The leading assassin pulled off the black scarf on his face, revealing a very familiar face.
"Tao Da is in charge?"
Master Tao sneered, his eyes bloodshot with hatred.
"I finally caught you. I want to avenge my brothers. I'll take care of you first, and then go to the city to find the guy named Huan."
From his tone, it sounded like he had been following him for a long time, and he even knew that Huan Rongxing was not following them on this trip.
When Qin Songyun heard what the headmaster said, he seemed to be extremely confused and asked:
"Well, I said, if you want to avenge your brothers, shouldn't you look for yourself first? You didn't remember to take care of your brothers when you escaped. Now that everyone is dead, you know how to gather some people to find us. Isn't this a joke!"
"If we were in danger when we went out together, I wonder if you would turn around and run away without caring about others. Before your third brother was beheaded, he was still in prison waiting for his brother to save him. Have you gone?"
Both inside and outside the words said that the leader was unreliable, and a few people who followed the leader's temporary gathering started to make a commotion.
Master Tao Da looked a little panicked and said in a sharp voice:
"Everyone is quiet. Mr. Qin has a sharp tongue, which makes Tao admire him. But no matter what you say, there is no way to avoid today's disaster. There are so many of us, killing one person is not a trivial matter, what danger can we encounter."
After temporarily appeasing the brothers behind him, he did not dare to deal with others anymore and directly made a move with his right hand:
"Brothers, come on!"
The men in black attacked.
These few people are definitely not as good as Qin Songyun in terms of martial arts. They are just from a rough background and have some strength. They will definitely fail if they fight alone.
But now, he is alone and there are six men in black, and it is not easy to besiege one person.
"Song Yun."
In the carriage, hearing the noisy sounds outside, Ruan Jiaxin couldn't calm down, so she opened the curtain and danced up with the whip on her waist.
"There are people in the carriage!"
A man in black yelled. After receiving the leader's look, he ran over with a sword, hoping to take the people inside as hostages.
Mo Shixi had never seen such a scene before, so she was very panicked, but also worried about not causing trouble to Qin Songyun, so she hurriedly got out of the carriage.
The man in black chased her, and Mo Shixi circled around the carriage, but he couldn't catch anyone for a while.
But this was only temporary. The man in black overturned the carriage angrily, and Mo Shixi appeared in front of him in an instant.
Qin Songyun was also at a disadvantage, with a few scars on her arms and couldn't spare the time to save her.
Just as he was about to have a sword pressed against his neck, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Taking a closer look, the man on the horse turned out to be Huan Rongxing, whom he had not seen for half a month.
Before the horse arrived, Huan Rongxing flew down and fended off the attack of the man in black with his sword. Then he held Mo Shixi's waist with one hand and moved to a slightly open position.
Then he met the crowd besieging Qin Songyun.
With Huan Rongxing's help, Qin Songyun's pressure dropped drastically.
In the blink of an eye, the disadvantaged party switched targets, and Master Tao received many scratches on his face, neck, and body.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, his life would have been lost here.
"Go, retreat."
Master Tao shouted "Retreat", and the remaining men in black quickly moved in one direction. Qin Songyun pursued them with his sword in hand.
Huan Rongxing also wanted to chase them and catch them, but he heard Ruan Jiaxin's yell coming from behind him.
He turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
Master Tao asked his subordinates to retreat and lead others away, but he went in the direction of Mo Shixi.
"If I can't live, I have to leave one person to pay for my life."
He knew that since Huan Rongxing was here, he couldn't escape.
If he was going to die anyway, he might as well take someone with him. When Huan Rongxing rescued the little girl in the carriage just now, there was something wrong in his eyes.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was about to hit Mo Shixi, Master Tao felt extremely comfortable.
"Pfft."
"Pfft."
There were two sounds of the sword piercing the human body. Master Tao Da didn't have time to be happy at the sight in front of him. He felt the pain from his back piercing his heart. His consciousness became confused and he fell to the ground.
"Huan-rong-xing."
Qin Songyun realized something was wrong with Master Tao, and had only time to send the sword into his body. The sword that stabbed Mo Shixi was blocked by Huan Rongxing's body.
The sword was too strong and pierced the person's chest, and blood gushed out like spring water. Huan Rongxing's face instantly lost color, and his body also lost strength. He was supported by Mo Shixi and lay on the ground.
"Why are you?"
Unexpectedly, in this situation, Mo Shixi spoke, but no one was happy.
Huan Rongxing looked at Mo Shixi's face, his eyes full of deep love and reluctance:
"Shixi, there is no need to feel guilty. I owe you my life, and I will retaliate for the kindness of saving my life. My father is right, I am a hypocrite who is bright on the outside but dark on the inside. I have betrayed your trust."
Mo Shixi's eyes were full of tears.
She didn't hate him. No one could help but be moved by Ri Huan Rongxing's sincerity after spending so much time with him.
Huan Rongxing seemed to feel the forgiveness, and the contented happiness was written on his face. He wanted to say something, but his eyes gradually blurred.
"Shixi, I'm sorry."
There was another sentence stuck in his throat, how could a person like him bring any further obstacles to Shi Xi.
It's just that he doesn't know that his love has finally reached the ears of the person it should go to.
"The male protagonist's favorability has reached 100, and he has complete trust in the original world. The mission is completed."
