Chapter 434 A Decisive Survival Escape

A few poisonous needles were directly shot out from Ning Xueyan’s blood bracelet, which all hit the tall man’s face. This attack surprised him. He hadn’t expected that a delicate Young Lady like her would have been a danger to him. Moreover, he just happened to be in a stooped posture, so he fell down by the carriage door without saying a word. His upper body was hanging in the carriage and he lost consciousness.

“Fifth Young Lady, what should we do now?” At this time, Qingyu opened her eyes. She grabbed Ning Xueyan’s sleeve nervously and asked with a little quiver. Although she had been motionless on the ground just now, she had kept secretly watching. Once she realized that something was wrong, she would immediately sit up to protect Ning Xueyan. It was not until after seeing that Ning Xueyan got rid of the tall man that she breathed a sigh of relief.

She really regretted it. If she had known then, she would have stayed behind and asked Xinmei to follow Fifth Young Lady. Then such a dangerous thing would not have happened.

“What’s going on? Come over here, or I’ll push you down with the carriage.” Before Ning Xueyan could say a word, the short man’s curses came from outside. After waiting for a while behind the carriage just now, he still didn’t see the tall man there. He thought he must have been taking advantage of Ning Xueyan in the carriage because of his lust for her beauty. So he couldn’t help cursing and turned around at the same time.

He just tried to push the carriage a little on his own, and it was now on the edge of the highest slope. With a little bit of force, it would slide down the slope. After that, they would throw the coachman down and then no one would know about it. No matter who would investigate this matter in the future, they would not be able to figure out that it was a murder, but would only take it as an accident.

Hearing the sound outside, Ning Xueyan estimated the distance with her eyes. Because of the tall man’s neglect and the close distance, she could kill the tall man with one strike just now. Even if he had noticed it, he wouldn’t have been able to avoid it in time. So now in the face of the short man, who was smarter, the distance was even more crucial.

She bit her lower lip and suppressed her fear. There was a trace of fierceness flashing in her eyes. She pulled Qingyu’s hand, then motioned her to turn away and get off of her. Otherwise, she would be unable to move her body flexibly enough and the short man might escape.

Qingyu nodded and looked to the left. She found that it was a slightly larger distance over that way, then she stepped aside. At this time, Ning Xueyan’s blood bracelet was their last hope, so she had to shoot him with one strike.

Pushing the half-closed door open, the short man came to pull the tall man’s half-hanging clothes and said unhappily, “Come out quickly! They will be dead soon, so you don’t have to see them. After we go down the mountain later, I’ll take you to find other Young Ladies. Don’t look like you’ve never seen the world.”

The tall man’s upper body was in the carriage. From the outside, it looked like he was taking advantage of the Young Lady inside. In particular, he heard something moving inside, then a Young Lady lowered her voice and asked nervously, “Who, you… you… what do you want to do? Let me go!”

It sounded as if someone was struggling to be dragged. Then he looked at the tall man’s body outside shaking with the carriage. He knew that he had to be doing something dirty. The short man’s face darkened with anger. If the people in the carriage were knocked unconscious, no matter whether they died or not, it had nothing to do with them. But now, this stupid man actually exposed himself.

If the people inside had a narrow escape from death, then it would be really bad!

The gliding slope looked like a dead end. But if the people inside were really not fated to die this time, they also just might break their arms and legs. Because they didn’t know who was outside the carriage. Even if the people inside didn’t die, they also wouldn’t know what they did to them.

But in the current situation, it was clear that the people inside were awake. He angrily came to pull the tall man out and cursed him, “You are killing yourself. One night of romance with a gorgeous girl, a happy death thus deserves. You don’t have to wait until now, and just court death yourself.”

He indignantly scolded the tall man here, but he didn’t know that he had already become a ghost.

When he reached out to pull him, Qingyu got Ning Xueyan’s signal and then grabbed the tall man’s hand firmly. The short man didn’t expect that someone inside would pull hard but he didn’t let it go. He thought that the tall man didn’t care about anything because of his lust for beauty. Then he took two more steps forward and tried to pull him out.

At this time, he used much more strength. He gritted his teeth, stepped on the ground, and used all his strength to pull him. The door was half-covered and tilted down a little. When he exerted greater strength, the carriage started to move, as if it was sliding down. The short man was terribly frightened and looked up.

His face and neck happened to be exposed at the carriage door, and his attention was all focused on the rear.

Finally, this was the opportunity that Ning Xueyan had waited for. She was right next to the carriage door. At this time, she reached out to press down hard on the gold button and aimed at the short man’s face. With a scream, he fell down and then happened to hit the tall man, who was half-exposed outside.

The carriage was top-heavy. Moreover, the short man just tampered with the carriage and even placed something under it. With a little more force, it would slide down the slope. When he pulled just now, there was downward momentum. At this time, after the short man hit his body on it heavily, the carriage started to move.

“Fifth Young Lady, it’s over now!” Seeing that the short man was hit by a poisonous needle and fell down directly, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, loosened her hands, and then immediately softly slumped into the carriage.

“No!” Ning Xueyan had originally been relaxed and took a breath, but she was suddenly shocked by the carriage’s shaking. She immediately realized that something was wrong. She tore down the curtain at the door and could clearly feel that it was slipping down. Now it just started to move, so its speed was not very fast. However, when she saw that the slope below was suddenly steep, she knew that it was a bad thing.

After listening to their conversation just now, she had thought that there still would have been some time left. But now it seemed that everything was all set except for one thing. They actually did not want to make a deal with her at all. They had a strong desire to kill her.

“Qingyu, jump out now!” She had no time to care about anything else, so she decisively pulled up Qingyu next to her and jumped out hand in hand…

On the other mountain road, several horses galloped over. The man sitting on the first horse had a handsome face full of shadiness, and his whole body exuded a bloodthirsty momentum, as if it came from hell. His loose black robe was fluttering in the wind. It was embroidered with bright red manjusaka, dancing in the wind, but it made people feel tremble for no reason.

Even if it was a seasoned general, he couldn’t have such a cold rage.

The horses ran very fast, and they soon arrived at the place where Ning Xueyan’s carriage had fallen. The coachman fell down under the tree and his forehead was bleeding. A guard jumped down and touched his pulse. Then he shook his head at Ao Chenyi, and replied, “Prince Yi, the coachman is dead.”

Ao Chenyi’s eyes fell on the two tracks left by the shaft of the carriage on the ramp. It was obvious that the carriage should have fallen down here. Then he looked at the dark valley below and found that the slope wasn’t very steep at first. But the farther down it went, the harder it was to see. So it was very deep down there.

If one did not see the two men on the ground down beside the slope, others might only take it as an accident. The carriage bashed into a nearby tree, then the coachman died in this accident, and the carriage fell down the hill. As for the people inside, the state of their lives was uncertain.

“Prince Yi, they died from poisonous needles.” The other guard had already gone over to investigate the two men who had fallen upon the slope and found that they were also dead.

Ao Chenyi didn’t say a word. A trace of bloodthirsty rage flashed in his handsome phoenix eyes, as if they had been poisoned. Whoever met with his cold eyes would feel frightened, lower their head, and kneel on the ground motionless. The people present all knew that Prince Yi got angry.

His co-consort, who did not enter the mansion yet, had met with an accident before marriage. This was a slap in Prince Yi’s face.

“Bring her to me, dead or alive!” Ao Chenyi said in a gloomy voice. In an instant, he pinched off the gorgeous golden painted horsewhip in his hand.

They dared to make Prince Yi angry, so they would have to pay for it in blood.

The people present did not dare to neglect him and replied in unison respectfully, “Yes!”

Immediately, all these people dispersed and chased down the carriage’s traces. No matter who did it today, if Prince Yi found it out, they would die.

“Prince Yi, don’t worry. Fifth Young Lady is a lucky girl, and it seems like she hasn’t been knocked out of the carriage. These two men must have been killed by Fifth Young Lady.” Only Yu Jian didn’t leave Ao Chenyi’s side. He also knew that Ao Chenyi had given Ning Xueyan a blood bracelet.

It was obvious that these two people didn’t come from the Lord Protector’s Manor. At this time, their deaths could only show that they had bad intentions toward Ning Xueyan. But now, they had died here due to the poisonous needles on their faces. These needles were shot out from the blood bracelet that Prince Yi sent her, so Yu Jian did not say these words completely for the sake of letting Ao Chenyi feel relaxed.

This slope wasn’t steep at first. If Fifth Young Lady was more decisive and directly jumped out, it would be nothing serious. However, ordinary Young Ladies were timid. Although Fifth Young Lady seemed to be braver than others, he didn’t know whether she had the courage to jump out. If she jumped too late, then she might not die but would be seriously injured.

Ao Chenyi’s handsome face was gloomy. He jumped off his horse and stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. His body emanated a strong sense of bloodthirstiness. However, Yu Jian, who had been following him, could not help taking two steps back. He had never seen Prince Yi get so angry because of a woman. It seemed that Fifth Young Lady was special in Prince Yi’s heart.

It was too late to say anything now. He only hoped that Fifth Young Lady was more decisive and would not allow anything bad to happen to herself.

“Prince Yi, do you want to investigate the Lord Protector’s Manor?” Being shrouded by his cold breath and infected by his bloody smell, Ning Xueyan had to speak carefully and tried to change the subject.

Fifth Young Lady was going to Cold Mountain Temple. Prince Yi had heard it from the people of the Ming Manor. But they wouldn’t harm Ning Xueyan, so it had to be the people of the Lord Protector’s Manor to do it. Thinking about what had happened in the end, he found that there should be more than one person to be reluctant to see Fifth Young Lady live well.

“You’ll investigate the last people to go in and out of Lord Protector’s Manor. By the way, check the Xia Manor and Ao Mingyu’s Manor,” Ao Chenyi said coldly. How dare they hurt his woman! No matter who they were, they should be ready to bear his anger and revenge. Even if Ning Xueyan hadn’t married into Prince Yi’s Manor yet, she was still his woman.
