A young man in his twenties and a girl.
The young man staggered and needed the support of the girl to barely walk.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the young man's face looked a little sickly pale, and the girl's fair face was shrouded in a misty and dreamy feeling.
"Cousin, there is a rock in front of you. Take a rest."
The girl supported the young man, her face full of worry. She saw a huge rock in front of her and suggested.
"Okay...cough cough cough!"
The young man's tone was empty, and he only said one word, which caused him to cough again, so much so that he almost couldn't breathe.
Su Chen was behind the tree, observing them through the moonlight. The young man was weak and probably injured, but the girl had an aura of nobility that was very different from ordinary people, showing her extraordinary status.
Suddenly, he made a new discovery, and a strange color appeared in the depths of his eyes. The young man's face gave him a sense of familiarity. After searching his memory, he found that he was actually Lincheng, the young city lord of Lintong City, Jiang Li.
"Looking at the direction they came from, it should be the Fuxi Mountains. Are the injuries man-made?"
Su Chen was deep in thought. Because of the uneven distribution of harvest, there was a conflict and he fought against his own people?
But this move is really cruel, and it can be fatal.
He could naturally tell that the young man's appearance of coughing out his heart and lungs must be related to his injuries.
But what does this have to do with me? I am just here to practice. They will leave naturally after they have had enough rest.
"Xiaoxue, let's go!"
Jiang Li took a breath and said weakly to the girl: "Take me, they will catch up soon."
"Because of my status, they won't do anything to me, but if you fall into their hands, you will be in trouble!"
The girl's eyes were filled with tears, "But, what if..."
"No buts!"
Jiang Li scolded, then softened his tone and advised: "When you go back, find my father, he will come to save me, don't worry."
After saying that, he pushed the girl away and let her go.
Still like this, the girl still took three steps and turned back, reluctantly walking into the darkness of the forest.
"Ah…"
Jiang Li chuckled to himself, lying on his back on the stone, looking at the stars in the sky.
Su Chen couldn't be punished. He thought they would leave, but one of them was left behind. How could he practice?
…
"Um?"
Su Chen, who was thinking about whether to change places, seemed to feel something, and turned to look into the darkness of the forest.
Jiang Li also felt something and turned his head to look at the place where the girl disappeared.
"Huh...huh...huh..."
There was a sound of gasping, and Jiang Li's weak expression suddenly changed. He stood up with a nervous look on his eyes.
From the darkness, a girl's panicked figure was seen running out, with a hint of panic on her pretty face.
"Cousin, they are coming!"
Seeing Jiang Li, the girl shouted.
"Hide quickly!"
Jiang Li looked anxious, those guys are just a bunch of beasts, Xiaoxue must not fall into their hands!
"oh!"
The girl responded, perhaps in a panic, she changed direction and ran towards the big tree where Su Chen was hiding.
Su Chen was stunned, don't come over!
But it was obvious that this matter was not something that could be done just by thinking about it. The girl rushed over and got directly behind the tree.
A few breaths later...
"ah!!!"
The loud screams resounded through the forest, awakening many sleeping creatures, and also marked the direction for a group of people searching for targets in the forest.
When Jiang Li heard the sound, his heart tightened, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
The girl ran out in horror, "Tree, there is someone behind the tree!"
Jiang Li's pupils shrank, and he protected the girl behind him, looking at the big tree warily.
Su Chen looked helpless and walked out from behind the tree.
"Brother, hiding behind a tree and peeping is not what a gentleman would do."
Jiang Li raised his voice and said calmly.
Su Chen was noncommittal, "But I came here before you."
"Nonsense!" The girl glared at Su Chen, "If it's what you said, why are you hiding?"
"Hiding behind a tree is scary and sneaky. He is not a good person at first glance!"
Su Chen was stunned. The little girl was so frightened that she had such a bad temper.
"I just don't want to have anything to do with you."
"Are we that scary?" The girl couldn't help but think after hearing Su Chen's words.
Jiang Li stared at Su Chen's eyes. The latter did not dodge, his eyes were calm.
After a long time, Jiang Li laughed and shook his head, raised his hand and slightly cupped his hand to Su Chen, "Brother, if you're bothering me, we'll leave now."
With that said, he motioned to the girl to support him and leave.
"You're leaving now, don't you think it's a little late?"
Su Chen said leisurely, "How far do you think that loud voice just now can be transmitted?"
The girl's eyes widened and she said distressedly: "I...I didn't expect you to be behind the tree. You scared me. Can you stop screaming?"
Jiang Li looked bitter and couldn't leave. Could it be that he had to die here today? Thinking of this, he looked at Su Chen, and hope suddenly ignited in his heart.
"Brother, can you please take Xiaoxue away? I will thank you greatly afterwards!"
Su Chen had a good impression of him and did not refuse in a hurry. Instead, he asked with interest, "Now that we have reached this point, the first thing you are worried about is her. To you, what is her identity?"
"What kind of identity can it have?"
Jiang Li said calmly: "I am a cousin and she is a cousin, that's all."
After a pause, he added: "To others, she is the daughter of Prince Xijun."
Su Chen couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. Although he could tell that the girl came from a famous family, he didn't expect that she was the daughter of King Xijun.
But it was just a moment of surprise. After all, it was really surprising that the daughter of the county king would come to this place that was almost a countryside. It makes sense that Jiang Li always puts her safety first.
"Found them!"
At this moment, a shout rang out, and the three people heard the sound and ran away. They saw eight figures walking out of the forest. The moonlight shone on them, revealing eight faces with ferocious sneers.
"No, they're coming!"
Jiang Li's expression changed with shock, and he quickly said to Su Chen: "Brother, I'm begging you!"
"I'll hold them back, you go quickly!"
"How long can you last like this?"
Su Chen raised his head slightly and looked sideways, showing them a half-mouthed face with a faint smile, "I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, I will keep you safe today!"
"Is there any help?"
Among the eight people, in the middle was a tall, round-waisted man. His arms were full of explosive muscles, as if he had practiced some kind of martial arts. There was a sarcastic sneer on the sinister face, and his disdainful eyes swept over Su Chen, "But do you think that one more person can change anything?"
"Slender arms and legs, and a pretty good tone."
After saying that, his eyes turned evil and he looked greedily at the girl's petite body, "Little lady, they can't protect you, so you'd better come into my brother's arms and let him give you a warm and safe embrace."
"It can also give you unparalleled happiness!"
After saying that, the eight people let out harsh and unpleasant laughter, their eyes swept over the girl's body unscrupulously, completely ignoring Su Chen and Jiang Li.
