Xiao Jin rode his horse directly to Tiger Might. “Where’s Su Ying?”

“She held the First Prince of the Chu State hostage and asked us to come back first,” Tiger Might said with a worried expression.

Xiao Jin’s dark eyes widened abruptly. “Where is she?”

“A few miles outside the Chu State’s border pa.s.s.”

Xiao Jin yanked the reins and turned to leave. Tiger Might also mounted his horse. “I’ll go with you.”

Xiao Jin needed someone to lead the way, so he didn’t refuse his offer.

Xiao Jue’s guards sent him back to the pa.s.s in the shortest time possible.

“Doctor! Where’s the doctor?”

“Military doctor! The military doctor is here.”

Xiao Jue was finally treated by the military doctor after he was carried into the residence.

The military doctor pulled aside Xiao Jue’s clothes and frowned when he saw the slight depression in his chest. Then he checked Xiao Jue’s body and found that he had suffered several fractures. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries, so he managed to survive.

Xiao Jue was woken up by the sharp pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw his trusted aide waiting anxiously at the side. When everyone in the room saw him open his eyes, they let out a deep breath.

“Your Highness is awake. That’s great.”

Xiao Jue wanted to speak, but he felt a lump in his throat. He remembered that Su Ying had grabbed a handful of dirt and stuffed it down his throat. He became enraged once more, but the moment he moved, the pain in his body became even more intense.

“Your Highness, your injuries are too severe. It’s best if you don’t move.” When the military doctor saw that Xiao Jue was about to get up, he quickly stopped him.

Xiao Jue closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he was being held hostage by Su Ying. He remembered that before he was pushed down by that woman without hesitation, she had ruthlessly stabbed the dagger into his chest. At that moment, he really thought he was going to die.

He slowly stretched out his hand and touched his chest. Although it hurt, there was no wound. He was actually fine… The heavens really didn’t want him to die!

“I thought that the depression in Your Highness’s chest was caused by a collision. Your Highness is wearing soft armor that can block the penetration of sharp weapons. Has Your Highness forgotten?” the trusted aide said.

Xiao Jue suddenly realized that he had genuinely forgotten about it. Luckily, he was usually cautious. Otherwise, he would have really died at the hands of that woman.

“Where’s that woman Su Ying? Did you catch her?”

“Your Highness, don’t worry. I’ve already sent people to search.”

Xiao Jue gritted his teeth. “Even if you have to overturn the heavens outside the pa.s.s, you must find her! I want her captured alive.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Xiao Jue closed his eyes, but he couldn’t suppress the anger in his chest. He couldn’t understand why Su Ying had suddenly become a totally different person. Had she been hiding her true self from him all this time?

Xiao Jue didn’t believe it. Why was she hiding herself? To prepare herself to be exiled? How was this possible?

No matter what, he had to catch this woman and investigate thoroughly!

When Su Ying came out of the interspatial store, the sky was already bright. The soldiers did not find any traces of her on the slope, so they went elsewhere to look for her.

Su Ying went up the slope and got ready to go back.

Not long after she came out, she met the soldiers who were searching for her. She leaped up a tree and waited until the soldiers pa.s.sed by before jumping down.

After repeatedly dodging and hiding, she soon arrived at the entrance of the northern wilderness.

Just as she walked in, she heard the sound of galloping horse hooves.

Su Ying turned around and hid behind a large tree. As the sound of the galloping hooves drew closer, she could clearly see the person sitting on the horse’s back.

“Xiao Jin?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, but Xiao Jin immediately looked in her direction.

Su Ying then walked out from behind the big tree.

Xiao Jin quickly spurred his horse toward her, but before he could reach Su Ying, he had already jumped off his horse and was staring deeply into her eyes. He didn’t say anything, but Su Ying could see the anxiety and worry in his eyes.

“I’m fine. There are still pursuers behind us. Let’s leave this place first.”

Xiao Jin saw that there were no signs of fighting on her body, so he got back on his horse and pulled her onto the horse’s back.

“Madam Su, are you alright?” Tiger Might hadn’t expected Su Ying to be able to retreat so quickly unharmed.

Su Ying shook her head. “I’m fine. Let’s go back first.”

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Jin yanked the reins and the horse started galloping.

Su Ying was trapped in Xiao Jin’s arms. At first, she shifted her body uncomfortably, but the s.p.a.ce on the saddle was too restricted. No matter how she moved her body, she still couldn’t avoid leaning into Xiao Jin’s arms.

Just as she was thinking about going behind Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin grabbed her waist securely, pressing her back firmly against his torso. “Stop wriggling.”

Su Ying realized that the jolting against her body was lessened when she leaned against him, so she simply stopped struggling.

After galloping for more than two hours, they finally saw the gate of the Tiger Base.

After Qiao Yang got people to move the goods back, he had been waiting by the gate. When he saw Su Ying and the others galloping over from afar, he waved his hands excitedly. “They’re back! Madam Su and the others are back! Quick, open the gate! Open the gate quickly!”

The guards quickly opened the gate upon hearing the order, and Xiao Jin and the others rode in on their horses.

After entering the Tiger Base, Xiao Jin finally stopped his horse and jumped off the horse with Su Ying in his arms.

“Madam Su, are you alright?” Qiao Yang ran down from the wall and asked anxiously.

Su Ying shook her head. “I’m fine. Are all the stuff sent back safely?”

“Don’t worry, Madam Su. The things have been stored in the warehouse.”

Su Ying nodded. It was fine as long as there was no problem with the goods. “Madam Su, how did you escape from danger?” Tiger Might was extremely curious. He could see that there wasn’t even a trace of blood on Su Ying’s body. Could it be that she had escaped without even taking any action?

“I took Xiao Jue hostage to a slope, then I jumped down and took the opportunity to escape,” Su Ying explained.

Su Ying made it sound so simple, but Tiger Might felt that the situation at that time must have been very dangerous.

“We need to a.s.sign more people to guard this gate. The other party might come looking for us.”

Tiger Might nodded. “Don’t worry, Madam Su. Leave this matter to me.” “Alright. Where are the chickens, ducks, cattle, and goats? Help me drive them back.”

“I’ve placed those livestock in the backyard. I’ll get someone to drive them back for you, Madam Su.”

Qiao Yang ran to the backyard and ordered his men to drive out the livestock that Su Ying had bought at the stall.

Su Ying hadn’t seen the children for a few days, so she wanted to rush back as soon as possible. When the livestock were driven out, she and Xiao Jin led them home.

“You met Xiao Jue outside the pa.s.s?” Xiao Jin said slowly.

“Mm-hmm.”

Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying and furrowed his brows. Her face was expressionless and she did not seem to want to explain further. “What did he say to you?”

“He said that he was here to bring me back to the capital.”

Xiao Jin’s frown deepened. “He recognized you?”

“Yes.

“But 1 stabbed him and kicked him down the slope. In theory, he couldn’t have survived.”

At that time, she didn’t think of covering her face. She wanted to use this face to kill this sc.u.m Xiao Jue so that she would not have used this body in vain.

However…

Su Ying frowned. She had been in a hurry to store the goods into her interspatial store, so she didn’t know if Xiao Jue had truly died from her stab or

not..
