Chapter 18: Kindness and Vengeance
"Then what should I do?" The young man deliberately pretended to be stupid.
He knew that the girl's purpose was to lure away the group of robbers.
"You pretend to be me and escape first."
"Then let them capture me, right?" The young man shrugged and said helplessly.
Ye Zhaoyan said nothing, acquiescing to his statement.
"But they will definitely not let me go," the young man said again.
"Then what do you want to do?"
After thinking for a moment, the young man raised his eyes and said, "I don't mind dying with you."
When Ye Zhaoyan heard these words, his pupils shrank suddenly.
She just wanted to use his disguise to delay some time and gain a chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, this young man would rather die with her than let her live.
This kind of person really cannot be underestimated.
The young man looked at Ye Zhaoyan's stern expression and was about to open his mouth to explain when the old man's voice came from outside the carriage.
Ye Zhaoyan thought to himself that it was terrible.
She took back the dagger, opened the curtain, and jumped onto the horse outside.
The young man quickly followed, "Miss Ye, wait for me! My box..." Before he could finish his words, Ye Zhaoyan kicked him out of the carriage.
"Bless yourself!" Ye Zhaoyan spurred his horse and rushed in the other direction.
Her figure gradually disappeared into the night.
The sound of the boy falling to the ground quickly attracted the crowd's attention.
"Oops……"
The young man sighed helplessly, jumped up from the ground, mounted another horse, and chased Ye Zhaoyan.
Steward Xue Er saw the familiar bloody coat at a glance.
"That's Ye... chase!"
He held back the name that was about to come out of his mouth.
When the masked man saw this, he jumped on his horse and gave chase.
The group of people quickly disappeared on the trail.
Ye Zhaoyan felt the sound of horse hooves behind her getting closer and closer. She gritted her teeth, swung her whip violently, and galloped toward the forest.
"Drive! Drive! Drive!" The horse galloped wildly, raising dust.
The young man kept chasing Ye Zhaoyan on horseback, and the distance between the two became closer and closer.
When Ye Zhaoyan saw this, he gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, then sped up.
"Aren't you going to take me to escape? After all, I was hunted down to save you. How could you not save me?" the boy shouted loudly.
"Aren't you afraid of death? If you're not afraid of death, just keep chasing." Ye Zhaoyan replied.
"Are you trying to kill me? I haven't lived enough, how could I die?" the young man said dissatisfiedly.
"Since you are not afraid of death, then you can continue chasing. If you chase until dawn, you can leave this mountain." Ye Zhaoyan sneered.
When the young man heard this, he looked like he suddenly realized: "So that's it!"
As he spoke, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It turned out that this girl didn't know the road in this mountain forest, and was just wandering around randomly. If no one guided her, she would probably get lost on this mountain road all night.
"Stop!" came a shout from behind, followed by the noise of horse hooves.
Ye Zhaoyan's heart was beating violently.
If she was discovered at this time, she would definitely not be able to escape. The strength of this group of people was not weak, not to mention that she was seriously injured.
Unfortunately, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to navigate. Not only was she unable to get away from them, but she was pulled closer.
Ye Zhaoyan gritted his teeth, held the reins tightly with both hands, and kept urging the horse to sit down.
She didn't dare to stop.
"If you don't stop, I'll fire the arrow!" A voice came from far behind.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking wind came, and several arrows whizzed towards him. Ye Zhaoyan quickly turned his head and dodged one of the arrows.
When she turned her head, she saw that these arrows were aimed at the boy.
He was wearing Ye Zhaoyan's bloody shirt.
There was an extraordinary figure behind the young man. After a few dodges, the arrow almost grazed his clothes and flew out.
Only one arrow flew past his shoulder, taking away a few strands of black hair, and the tail of the arrow was still slightly hot.
Ye Zhaoyan tightened the reins with both hands and stared at him closely.
The young man felt her gaze and glanced sideways at her body, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Tsk, tsk, I'll block the knife for you, but you kick me out of the car."
He shook his head and said.
An arrow suddenly shot through the air. The young man was caught off guard and leaned down to avoid the arrow, but his cheek was still scratched.
Ye Zhaoyan was in shock and looked at the situation behind him with all his attention.
The archer behind him has already fully drawn his bow, looking for a suitable angle.
The young man also noticed it, his wrist trembled slightly, and he couldn't help feeling regretful.
What if this arrow is poisonous...
Then he really has to explain it here.
"Oh, that's all, just think of it as doing a good deed!" The young man sighed.
He climbed onto the horse's back, caught up with Ye Zhaoyan, and stretched out his hand to her.
"What for?" Ye Zhaoyan asked with a frown.
The young man smiled and said, "Help you!"
Before Ye Zhaoyan could react, the young man used his arms to pull Ye Zhaoyan over.
Ye Zhaoyan was caught off guard and flew into the air. He subconsciously grabbed his hand and spun onto the young man's horse.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
As soon as Ye Zhaoyan sat down, several arrows pierced the air and flew towards him.
The young man took a deep breath, flipped his wrist, reached from Ye Zhaoyan's waist, and pulled out a soft sword to block it.
The belt of the blue robe turned out to be a soft sword with decorations.
There was a sound of metal collision, and the bunch of arrows were broken and flew away.
The power of these arrows was not strong, but it was enough to make Ye Zhaoyan feel frightened.
If these arrows had hit someone else, they would have been dead long ago.
"Let me catch up with them!" Seeing that the arrows could no longer do anything to the two of them, the people behind them galloped forward.
The young man did not hesitate and pulled the reins sharply. The horse neighed and ran towards another path. He knew that this path could lead to a hidden valley.
Seeing the young man resolving the danger easily, Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
This young man's strength is actually higher than his own.
"Miss Ye, it's my turn to save you now!" the young man said with a smile.
Ye Zhaoyan rode the same horse with the young man and leaned in front of him. Under the young man's tall figure, his originally tall figure looked petite.
She was a little unaccustomed and said: "You'd better find a way to escape quickly!"
"Miss Ye, why don't you believe me? You are like this..." The young man looked at her with a smile, and then said: "Wouldn't it be a pity if a handsome young man like you died like this?"
The young man sighed with a regretful expression on his face.
He seems to be doing things casually, but it makes people think that he is a very wise man.
"Stop talking nonsense! We are on our way!" Ye Zhaoyan urged.
"I have always had a clear sense of grudges! Since I saved you, you must repay me!" The young man chuckled and said, "Otherwise, I will not be reconciled!"
The young man galloped on his horse while observing Ye Zhaoyan's expression.
Ye Zhaoyan's expression was tense.
"Hey! Miss Ye, why are you so careless? How could you not even say thank you for saving your life?"
The young man joked.
