After arranging things in Zhuangzi and leaving Zhang Zheng here temporarily, Chu Yue returned.
The carriage drove all the way from the outskirts of Beijing to the southwest at an extremely fast speed.
Heimu drove the carriage and sat at the front, while Chu Yue and Ningdong sat on the carriage. The two of them talked without saying a word.
Ningdong is fine, anyway, her mission is to take good care of the young lady.
Wherever the lady is, she will be there too.
Chu Yue's mood was much more complicated. In addition to missing Lu Xinghe, she was also flustered.
She didn't know why, but after the carriage left some distance from the outskirts of Beijing, she always felt extremely flustered.
Looking at the rolling mountains and forests outside the car window, Chu Yue suddenly spoke.
"Kuroki, stop for a moment!"
Kuroki heard the sound and immediately stopped the carriage.
But just as the carriage stopped, there was a noise in the surrounding woods. The next moment, a large number of men in black jumped out of the forest with swords and attacked in the direction of the carriage.
The men in black are extremely fast, each of them has extraordinary skills, and they come with bad intentions.
Chu Yue knew very well that Heimu and Ningdong could not protect her completely.
"Miss, please stay in the carriage and don't get out. The slave girl and Heimu will stop the enemy first."
After Ningdong finished speaking, she jumped off the carriage. She pulled out the soft sword from her waist and looked fiercely at the man in black who was about to approach.
Chu Yue lifted the curtain and looked around, "There are too many people. You are no match for them! Instead of confronting them head-on, we might as well rush out with the carriage."
Kuroki pulled out the long sword in his hand and threw the scabbard aside.
"That's too late."
This was the first time Chu Yue saw Heimu draw his sword, which showed the seriousness of the situation.
In just an instant, the man in black was already approaching and started fighting with Heimu Ningdong.
In the past few years, under the training of Heimu, Ningdong's kung fu has improved a lot, and he can actually fight against these men in black.
However, there were too many people in black, and her left arm was cut after just one confrontation.
Seeing the other person slashing in the direction of Ningdong, Heimu directly took out the long sword in his hand. The next moment, the man in black who jumped up was nailed to a big tree not far away by the long sword. .
It was precisely because there was no weapon in his hand that Kuroki couldn't dodge. A gash was cut in his abdomen, and blood was flowing out.
Seeing that Heimu was injured trying to save himself, Ningdong was extremely anxious.
"Kuroki, you are injured!"
"You go to the carriage first!" Kuroki replied.
Ningdong shook his head, "No, you alone are no match for them."
The next moment, Kuroki turned his legs to sweep the people around him away, and then jumped directly in the direction of Ningdong.
He grabbed her waist and flew towards the carriage.
Finally, the two landed firmly on the carriage.
"You come and drive the carriage, and I'll deal with these men in black."
Kuroki has been through various dangers in the past, and his mind is obviously much clearer than Ningdong's when it comes to arrangements for critical moments.
Seeing that both of them were injured, Chu Yue felt frightened and anxious.
Who wants to harm her?
Without any time to think, she quickly took out various poisonous powders from her arms and sprinkled them on the man in black who was approaching the carriage.
At the beginning, some people did fall into the trap, but as waves of people came forward, Chu Yue did not have much inventory in hand.
"Ningdong, please make the carriage faster! We're running out of poison powder."
"Yes, miss!" Ningdong pulled up the reins, "Drive!"
The carriage was like an arrow flying off the string, speeding on the uneven mountain road. Chu Yue was thrown around by the bumpy carriage, swaying around in the carriage, and frequently bumped into the carriage. Within a moment, many purple bruises appeared.
The injury on the forehead was the most serious.
There were bruises and blood dripping down his cheeks.
Now in a critical situation, Chu Yue didn't care about the injury on her forehead, and still raised the car window and sprinkled powder on the chasing man in black.
As she kept talking, she suddenly thought of the dream she had had in the inn before going to Zhuangzi.
Because it was a dream, I had been trekking for half a month before, so I just thought I was frightened during this period and didn't take it to heart.
In addition, I have been busy arranging things in Zhuangzi for the past two days. By the time I went out today, I had completely forgotten the dream I had before.
Thinking about it at this time, she really wanted to slap herself!
Although she had occasionally dreamed over the years, it never came true in her life, but a few years ago, she also had a dream the night before the old house in Banpo Village collapsed.
How could she suddenly forget about this?
If they were treated with a little more caution and did not leave the capital for the time being, the other party would have no chance to make a move, and Ningdong and Heimu would not be injured.
Chu Yue's heart was filled with guilt.
"Ningdong Heimu, the person these men in black want to target is me. The three of us are here, and none of us can escape. You should leave first."
"no!"
The two of them replied at the same time without thinking.
"This is an order!"
Ningdong's face was full of determination.
"If it is any other order, Ningdong will definitely comply with the wishes of the young lady, but if I want Ningdong to abandon his master in danger, please forgive Ningdong for not being able to obey."
"Ningdong!"
"Please forgive me, Miss. If I can escape from these gangsters alive this time, Ningdong will only be dealt with by Miss!"
There was determination on her face.
Seeing that Ningdong was unwilling to leave, Chu Yue immediately looked at Heimu.
"Heimu, take Ningdong away!"
Kuroki said in a deep voice while fighting against the continuous attack of men in black, "Master, please forgive me! Escape from the battlefield, Kuroki cannot do it."
Seeing that both of them refused to leave, Chu Yue closed her eyes in despair.
"The poisonous powder is gone. You will die with me. There are many of them and they are getting closer to us..."
The carriage's carriage had been hacked by men in black more than a dozen times, and it had already been damaged to a certain extent. It would probably fall apart if it continued running for a while.
The carriage was traveling so fast, and it was in such a steep mountain. If it fell, even if it didn't die, it would be seriously injured.
Just when Chu Yue was despairing, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind.
Before he had time to know whether the people coming from behind were friends or foes, the carriage Chu Yue was sitting on suddenly dispersed in all directions. The horse in front seemed to be frightened, and suddenly stopped and raised its front legs.
This incident caused Chu Yue to hit the frame of the car hard, blood sprayed out, and she fainted.
Ningdong was also thrown to the cliff by the suddenly stopped carriage, and rolled down the steep slope.
Seeing this, Heimu quickly pulled Chu Yue up from the carriage to prevent her from being hurt again by the debris after the carriage broke into pieces.
At the same time, because the man in black was supported by a group of people coming from behind, Yang Shichao rode a tall horse to the carriage.
"Hurry and give her to me!"
As soon as Heimu lifted Chu Yue up from the carriage, he heard what this man said.
Looking sideways, he saw that he was an acquaintance, so he handed Chu Yue into his hands without thinking.
"Protect her, please!"
"I promise!"
Yang Shichao answered seriously.
Heimu nodded, and after handing Chu Yue into Yang Shichao's hands, he chased Ningdong, who had rolled down the hillside and was no longer visible.
Yang Shichao put Chu Yue on his horse and looked back at the battle that was almost over.
"Two people will go down the steep slope to look for them. After they find them, they will be brought back to the villa. I will take the princess to find the doctor first."
"Yes, Master."
Yang Shichao nodded, got on his horse, turned the horse's head and headed to another place.
