C158 (1/2)

When the guard hidden between the trees saw Sun Jinzi's dark horse appear, the thread she had grabbed in her hand lightly moved. The tree branch across the road also moved accordingly.

Sun Jinzi's ears moved slightly as the spring breeze blew past her ears, lifting up her jet-black hair. Waves of a serene fragrance wafted out, and she blinked hard to alleviate the exhaustion in her eyes.

Sun Jinzi pulled on the reins in her hands, and she seemed to have heard some movement, but unfortunately, she was extremely fast, and by the time she had reacted, it was already too late to stop them, as the hooves were already pulled as thin as silk but as hard as steel.

”Ah …”

Sun Jinzi also fell face first onto the ground.

Just as she reached out to grab onto a tree branch, she was stopped by a person at the waist. She hugged her head to her bosom and rolled a few times among the leaves and grass. Only then did she manage to regain her composure.

”Zi Er.”

It was actually Jin Chupei, the person who disappeared the moment the competition started. He was originally standing guard in the most dangerous place, quietly protecting her.

”I'm fine. Look at my horse.” Sun Jinzi's blood boiled, although she was hit so hard that her head was spinning from the fall, she still insisted on winning.

”His leg is injured. If you insist on fighting, then ride on my horse.”

His horse was also a dark horse. Both horses had a tuft of white hair on their faces, as if they were twins.

Sun Jinzi liked it from a glance, especially the wild arrogance in the horse's eyes.

”Thank you His Highness the Sixth Prince, I will thank you in the future.” Sun Jinzi felt dizzy, she gritted her teeth, raised her hand and bit her wrist.

She held it in tightly and did not make a sound. She bit out a row of deep bloody marks. Only then did she muster up some energy and shakily got on her horse.

Seeing her so stubborn, Jin Chupei couldn't help but to be worried, but at the same time, it was not easy to stop her.

He patted the horse's head again and warned the dark horse in a low voice. Then, he patted the horse's head and the dark horse galloped out.

Sun Jinzi only needed to tightly pull the reins, and put her foot on the horse.

She gritted her teeth. If they wanted to harm her, she was going to give up and let him see that she wasn't as good as they thought she was.

Not only was she fine, but she was even more relaxed in her life.

Watching Sun Jinzi leave, Jin Chupei quickly waved his hand, summoning a group of hidden guards over. He cleaned up the battlefield, and did not even miss a single drop of blood on the grass.

However, when Jin Chupei dodged and hid behind a tree, he found it somewhat inconvenient to move his legs and back.

Wei Ming was a little worried, but just as he wanted to ask, he was stopped.

”That person is still here. Go find him.”

”When you find him, bring him to see His Highness?” Wei Ming asked.

”No need to come, just kill them on the spot.” No matter who it was, Zi Er who dared to hurt her, had better be prepared to die.

No one could escape.

The guard hiding on the branch secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Seeing the rows of nimble movements below the tree, quickly taking care of the hidden guards at the scene, he already deeply regretted it. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have accepted the mission that Ning Wei's Guard had abandoned him.

”Come down.” Wei Ming didn't need to look for him, he already knew where he was hiding.

The guard didn't dare to move at all. He believed that his hiding place was pretty well hidden. Although they might be able to discover it, it shouldn't be this fast.

”No need to be so long-winded, just kill him without mercy.” Jin Chupei heard the sound of horse hooves coming over, and knew that the people behind had also caught up. Raising their hands, they made a killing motion, then turned and disappeared.

Wei Ming quickly moved, the branches violently swaying, the self-confident guards had long since opened their eyes wide and died.

Only until his death did he realize that the opponent they had offended was actually this powerful.

Sima Yuzhu followed behind the Lady's daughter as she walked forward leisurely. Along the way, she even had the mood to enjoy the scenery. Sometimes, she would even pick a peach that passed by, as if she was in a very good mood.

She wanted to know if their plan had succeeded or not.

She knew that kind of thread was the most powerful Black Silkworm silk in the Western Regions. It was finer than silk and tougher than black iron.

If he had a horse leg, he might not have been able to pull it off immediately, but he would have been able to throw him off. Not only did he die, he would have been injured and fallen to the ground.

It would be such a pity if Sun Jinzi's elegant face were to be harmed after falling a horse.

Thinking about Sun Jinzi's painful look, Sima Yuzhu's face was full of smiles.

However, nothing strange happened as he followed the group of people.

Unable to suppress the doubts in his heart, he hurriedly left and passed through the Lady into the forest.

There was not a single person around the supposed ambush site. In fact, not even a single trace of life could be found between the grass and the tree trunk.

Sima Yuzhu was even more curious now. The strength in her hands gradually increased as the horse moved forward quickly.

When they reached the finish line of the competition, they saw that the red flag that symbolized victory was already in Sun Jinzi's hands, who was initially injured from his fall.

Sima Yuzhu forced herself to hold back her gaze, turned her head back, and gritted her teeth as she looked at Guard Captain Ning Wei who was beside him.

”How did you do it?”
