Gu Qingning never expected that Pei Zhirui could be so ruthless, with wave after wave of assassins surging like a tide. Initially confident, she soon ran out of patience and pressed down on Pei Zhiqing, saying urgently, "Husband, I need to take a look."
Before Pei Zhiqing left the carriage, he obediently took the medicine that Gu Qingning handed him. He attempted to stand up, but as he exerted himself, he realized he couldn't muster even a fraction of his strength.
"Qing'er, what did you give me?" He pulled Gu Qingning back just as she was about to exit the carriage, looking puzzled.
Gu Qingning stumbled a few steps, her brows furrowed in innocence. She never imagined that Pei Zhirui, that despicable scoundrel, would send so many assassins to intercept them in order to take their lives. Had she known this would happen, she would never have fed Pei Zhiqing the medicine; it was truly a hindrance!
"Don't use your internal energy!" Gu Qingning warned Pei Zhiqing in a low voice as she looked at his troubled expression. "If you do, all my efforts will be in vain."
Concerned for her safety, Pei Zhiqing insisted, "You can't go out; it's dangerous!" His tone was commanding yet tinged with worry.
Pei Zhiqing moved to exit the carriage and grabbed the reins, preparing to drive the carriage himself. Gu Qingning was terrified and quickly pulled him back, exclaiming, "Husband, let me handle it!"
From Jinsha's words, Pei Zhiqing knew that Gu Qingning came from a military family and was no weak woman. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out to see a fierce battle unfolding.
Surveying the surroundings again, he noticed not only the continuous stream of assassins but also archers hiding in the trees and grass, waiting for orders. The three skilled fighters were gradually becoming overwhelmed by the sheer number of attackers.
Seeing no movement from inside the carriage, the leader signaled the archers to aim their arrows at their target—the carriage. Suddenly, arrows whistled through the air from all directions in the forest and shot straight toward the carriage, causing both occupants inside to turn pale with shock.
Gu Qingning caught an arrow with her bare hands while Pei Zhiqing, despite being unable to use his internal energy, managed to catch a few arrows as well. The carriage remained still as the archers redirected their aim at the horses that stood calmly like their master.
In just a moment, several arrows landed on the horses' backs and legs with sharp thuds, startling them into loud whinnies of distress.
Before the two in the carriage could regain their senses, the carriage had already taken off at a frantic pace.
"Jinsha, protect the Prince and Princess!"
As the carriage sped further away, surrounded by attackers from all sides, Feng Ren found himself unable to escape and could only shout loudly. By the time Jinsha managed to break free from the assassins, the carriage had long vanished from sight.
Listening to the sound of the horse's neighs to discern the direction, Jinsha also had to fend off the relentless pursuers. There was no way she could catch up with the runaway carriage.
At the edge of a cliff, Gu Qingning anxiously watched the assassins closing in just a few steps away, gripping Pei Zhiqing's hands tightly.
"Who sent you?" Pei Zhiqing's cold gaze was laced with a thick layer of frost, his tone extremely indifferent.
"Ask them in hell," the assassins pressed closer.
Pei Zhiqing's eyes darkened even further. He turned to Gu Qingning beside him and whispered in her ear, "Qing'er, I'll hold them off. You take this chance to escape."
Gu Qingning shook her head.
"Husband," she turned her head slightly to glance at the edge of the cliff and slowly called out Pei Zhiqing's name.
With the assassins closing in relentlessly, they stood at the very edge of the cliff; one more step back would send them plunging into an abyss.
Though Gu Qingning possessed some martial skills, she was no match for the numerous assassins before her, all of whom were specially trained killers.
