step by step

Chapter 18
"Then what should I do?" The boy deliberately pretended to be stupid.

He knew that the purpose of this girl was to lure the robbers away.

"You pretend to be me and run away first."

"Then let them take me away." The boy shrugged and said helplessly.

Ye Zhaoyan didn't say anything, which was a tacit consent to his statement.

"But they will definitely not let me go." The boy said again.

"Then what do you want to do?"

After pondering for a moment, the boy raised his eyes and said, "I don't mind dying with you."

When Ye Zhaoyan heard this sentence, his pupils shrank suddenly.

She just wanted to use his disguise to delay some time in exchange for a chance to escape.

Unexpectedly, this boy 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 secretly thought it was bad.

She retracted the dagger, opened the curtain, and jumped onto the horse outside.

The boy hurriedly followed, "Girl Ye, wait for me! My box..." He was kicked off the carriage by Ye Zhaoyan before he finished speaking.

"Seek good fortune for yourself!" Ye Zhaoyan whipped his horse and rushed in another direction.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the night.

The sound of the boy falling to the ground quickly attracted the attention of the crowd.

"Oops……"

The boy sighed helplessly, jumped up from the ground, mounted another horse, and chased after Ye Zhaoyan.

Butler Xue saw the familiar bloody shirt at a glance.

"That's Ye... Hurry up!"

He held back the name he was about to export.

Seeing this, the masked man even galloped after him.

A group of people quickly disappeared on the trail.

Ye Zhaoyan felt the sound of horseshoes getting closer behind her, she gritted her teeth, swung the whip violently, and galloped towards the mountains and forests.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!" The horse galloped wildly, raising dust.

The young man chased after Ye Zhaoyan on horseback, and the distance between the two was getting closer.

Seeing this, Ye Zhaoyan gritted his teeth and cursed angrily, then speeded up.

"Didn't you want to take me out? Anyway, I was hunted down to save you. How could you refuse to save me!" the boy shouted loudly.

"Aren't you not afraid of death? If you are not afraid of death, keep chasing." Ye Zhaoyan replied.

"Are you trying to kill me? I haven't lived enough, how could I die?" the boy said dissatisfied.

"Since you are not afraid of death, then you can continue chasing after dawn, and you will be able to leave this mountain." Ye Zhaoyan sneered.

Hearing the words, the young man suddenly realized: "So it is like this!"

As he spoke, a smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It turned out that the girl didn't know the way in this mountain forest, she just walked around carelessly, if there was no one to guide her, she might get lost on this mountain road all night.

"Stop!" came a cry behind him, followed by the clatter of 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 is not weak, not to mention that she is still seriously injured.

It's a pity that the mountain road is rough and difficult, and instead of getting rid of them, she was drawn closer.

Ye Zhaoyan clenched his teeth, gripped the rein with both hands, and kept urging the sitting horse.

She dared not stop.

"If you don't stop, let's shoot the arrow!" A voice came from far behind.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sound of breaking wind, and several arrows roared and flew towards him. Ye Zhaoyan quickly turned his head and dodged one of the arrows.

The moment she tilted her head, she saw that these arrows were aimed at the young man.

He was wearing Ye Zhaoyan's bloody coat.

Behind the young man was extraordinary, within a few dodges, the arrow almost brushed 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 tightly.

Feeling her gaze, the young man swept his head sideways over her body, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Tsk tsk, I blocked the knife for you, and you kicked me out of the car."

He shook his head and said.

An arrow suddenly pierced through the air, and the young man was caught off guard and leaned back to avoid the arrow, but his cheek was still scratched.

Ye Zhaoyan was still in shock, and focused on the situation behind him.

The archer behind him has already fully drawn his bow, looking for a suitable angle.

The boy also noticed it, his wrist trembled slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

In case there is poison on this arrow...

Then he really wants to explain here.

"Oh, that's all, let's treat it as a good deed!" The young man sighed.

He clamped his horse back, caught up with Ye Zhaoyan, and held out his hand to her.

"Why?" Ye Zhaoyan asked with a frown.

The boy smiled and said, "Help you!"

Before Ye Zhaoyan could react, the young man stretched his arms and pulled Ye Zhaoyan past him.

Ye Zhaoyan was caught off guard and soared into the air, subconsciously grabbed his hand, and spun onto the boy's horseback.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just as Ye Zhaoyan sat firmly, several arrows pierced the air and flew towards him.

The young man took a deep breath, flipped his wrist, reached out from Ye Zhaoyan's waist, and drew out a soft sword to resist.

The belt of the blue robe turned out to be a decorated soft sword.

There was a sound of metal impact, and the cluster of arrows was broken and shot away.

The power of these arrows is not strong, but it is enough to make Ye Zhaoyan feel lingering fear.

If these arrows hit someone else, I'm afraid they would have already been decapitated.

"Catch up with them!" Seeing that the arrows could not do anything to the two of them, the people behind them rode their horses and galloped.

Without hesitation, the young man pulled the rein abruptly, the horse neighed, and ran towards another path, which he knew could lead to a hidden valley.

Ye Zhaoyan couldn't help being a little surprised seeing the young man easily defuse the danger.

This young man's strength is actually higher than his own.

"Miss Ye, it's my turn to save you now!" the young man laughed.

Ye Zhaoyan rode the same horse with the young man, leaning in front of him, under the tall figure of the young man, the originally tall figure looked petite.

She was not used to it and said: "You should quickly find a way to escape!"

"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 such a handsome young man like you perishes like this?"

The boy sighed, with a regretful expression on his face.

He seems to act casually, but it makes people feel that he is a very intelligent person.

"Stop talking nonsense! It's important to hurry!" Ye Zhaoyan urged.

"I've always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances! Since I saved you, you must repay me!" The young man chuckled and said, "Otherwise, I won't be reconciled!"

The boy galloped wildly while watching Ye Zhaoyan's expression.

Ye Zhaoyan's expression was tense.

"Hey! I said Miss Ye, why are you so careless? How can you not even say thank you for saving your life?"

The boy joked.

A cold object suddenly touched the boy's jaw.
