Chapter 78
She was so frightened that she took a step back, and immediately made a gesture of defending against the enemy, but she was relieved when she saw clearly what was in front of her. It turned out that what appeared in front of her was a brown horse as tall as a man.

Is there something special about the horse being kept in such a separate log cabin?She looked at the saddle decorated with dragon patterns on the brown horse again, and was shocked, this is the emperor's royal horse!
No wonder it is so caring.She was emotional but also worried, there was only this one horse in the stable, if she went to find another horse at this time, it might be too late, and she would not be able to catch up with Nangong Ling.But if he is good at riding a royal horse, if the emperor pursues him in the future, it will be a serious crime.

But she didn't hesitate for too long, she gritted her teeth quickly, untied the rein of the horse, jumped up, and rode away towards the official road.

Along the way, guards saw it from time to time, and they ran to catch up and exclaimed.

"Stop! Stop her!"

"That's the emperor's horse! Close the fence! Don't let her get away!"

……

In front of him was the last checkpoint to leave the camp. As soon as the voice came out from behind, Su Ruiran immediately saw the guards in front immediately shut the fence that was one person high, blocking the way.

There are sharpened wooden stakes on the fence. At this moment, the guards are all holding long hairs, forming a human wall and standing in front of the fence, pointing their spearheads at the direction she came from.

Su Ruiran couldn't help frowning. It was not difficult to jump over the fence, but there is a human wall in front of her, so it might not be easy to jump over it.

And at this time, he absolutely couldn't stop.

Although she knew that she had little chance of winning, Su Ruiran gritted her teeth, pulled the rein, and was still going to jump over to try.

However, at this moment, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd - Nangong Che.

Why is he here?As soon as this question flashed through her mind, she quickly gave the answer herself. Nangong Che, like Nangong Ling, was protecting the camp, so it's not surprising that he was ordered to guard here.

Nangong Che was quite surprised when he saw her, he quickly recovered, and immediately shouted at the guards: "Get out of the way!"

The guards turned their heads when they heard the words, and they were all taken aback when they saw him giving orders.

It was too late, Nangong Che saw that Su Ruiran's horse was already approaching the fence, and regardless of his own safety, he rushed over immediately and pushed away the guards in front of the fence.

Su Ruiran held the rein tightly, and saw Nangong Che rushing towards the wall before the horse. She was startled, pulled the rein hard, and immediately leaped up with the horse and man, brushing past the heads of the crowd. , landed and jumped out of the fence, galloping away.

Su Ruiran couldn't help but turn her head to look at Nangong Che, and was finally relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

Looking at his hands again, he had used too much force just now, and had several bloodstains from the reins.

"My lord, are you okay?"

Su Ruiran rushed out the door, and the camp exit was already in chaos.

Nangong Che got up from the ground, and when he pushed the bag just now, he accidentally fell to the ground.

But when he turned his head and looked, there were people and horses passing away in the distance. Although he was relieved that she was fine, he couldn't help but feel worried.This girl, why did she take the horse away at this time, let alone the emperor's royal horse, this alone is a serious crime.

The sergeant nearby gathered scattered troops and was about to chase Su Ruiran in the direction where Su Ruiran was leaving, but at this moment, Nangong Che suddenly stopped them: "No! No one is allowed to chase out! If you leave without authorization, you may be killed." Hit the opponent's plan."

"My lord, what do you mean by that? Don't you guys understand?"

"Now the fifth brother is ordered to transport the prey. Only the king and Prime Minister Su are here to look after the safety of the emperor. If you all chase them out and the enemy takes advantage of the opportunity to attack, who will protect the safety of the emperor? This is probably the way to turn the tiger away from the mountain." Meter, none of you are allowed to leave without my order."

"Yes."

"Thanks to the prince for being considerate."

As soon as he said this, all the soldiers returned to their positions.

Nangong Che looked at the cloud of smoke and dust flying up in the distance, but the figure of the man and the horse had long since disappeared.Su Ruiran, what the hell are you doing?He couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of this, but there was only so much he could do to help her, and it would be better if nothing happened to her.

Su Ruiran was galloping on the horse, with the sound of the wind and the continuous rattling of the horse's hooves in her ears, the wind was blowing so hard that she couldn't keep her eyes open, but even so, with a whip in her hand, she continued to speed up.

She didn't know how long it took before she finally realized that she didn't seem to hear the sound of pursuers behind her, and she turned around in time to find that there was no one chasing after her.

With a long cry of "hiss", she tightened the reins, but the horse jumped up with both feet because of the speed, and almost knocked her off the horse's back.

It was with great difficulty that she stabilized her dismounted horse. Su Ruiran turned her head and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was silence behind her, and she didn't even see the dust stirred up in the distance.Thinking of Nangong Che's gaze just now, she realized that it was probably his credit. It seemed that this time, she owed him another favor.

The dragon pattern decoration on the horse was too eye-catching, Su Ruiran thought, and removed them all, leaving only a bare saddle, and then threw everything into the river beside the road.

After doing all this, she did not get off the horse, but deliberately slowed down the speed of the horse, sat on the horse, and carefully observed the surroundings.

Although she was taking the official road, she was only focused on escaping all the way out just now, and didn't pay attention to the direction at all, let alone the surrounding roads.Looking at it now, it seems that he has deviated from the official road, and there is only a small road around, but there are scattered horseshoe marks on the road, which seem to have been stepped on not long ago.

Su Ruiran was supposed to change another road, but she saw a discarded water bag on the side of the road, with its mouth open, it seemed that it was empty.

The water scattered on the ground has not completely dried up. It seems that someone has walked on this road just now. Judging from the horseshoe prints on the ground, there should be a lot of people.

Su Ruiran made a bold guess for a while, now that the emperor is hunting here, the caravan people around will naturally not pass by as blatantly as they usually do, and it might be Nangong Ling who can leave these footprints.

Nangong Ling has always been vigilant in doing things, not to mention that he also had an insight into King De's ambitions early in the morning, so in this way, maybe in order to prevent King De and his party, he had already changed his path without anyone noticing.Or in order to deceive others, he had already arranged a group of people to go on the main road in advance, but he led another group of people to walk on the side road.

Su Ruiran decided to follow and have a look, she believed in her own judgment.

As expected, she followed the horseshoe marks along the road, and soon she heard the sound of horseshoes not far away. Although she didn't see the team yet, she knew that her judgment was correct, and she had already followed Nangong Ling's team. The horse team is up.

With joy in her heart, she raised her whip and was about to speed up.

Suddenly, several horses jumped out of the jungle on both sides not far ahead.

She was startled, and quickly retracted the whip, but luckily she retracted it in time, and the whip did not fall on the horse.

Before she could be surprised, the uninvited guests who suddenly appeared in front of her had already left in the dust, and it seemed that they didn't notice her.

Su Ruiran intentionally slowed down, and when she looked carefully, she found that there were about a dozen people on the other side. Everyone covered their faces with black scarves, and there were weapons hanging on the saddle, all of which were long swords with black scabbards.Such a group of people can be seen as well-trained.And they were riding on horses, although the speed of the horses was very fast, but their figures on the horses were very stable, one could tell that these people must have extraordinary skills.

Su Ruiran followed behind them at a leisurely pace, keeping a distance from them all the time, so as not to let herself be discovered by the other party.

She had a hunch that these few comers must be unkind.

Sure enough, with the speed of those people, they quickly caught up with the horse team. Someone in the horse team saw these men in black coming, and immediately shouted: "Look! Who are those people over there?"

"Not good! There are assassins!"

The entire horse team was in a commotion and panicked.But after all, they are well-trained, and soon there are officers who organize the team and lead their troops to defend against the enemy.

Su Ruiran looked at it at first glance, and Nangong Ling was not seen in the entire cavalry, but she saw a carriage in the center of the cavalry from afar.

There were bright red tassels hanging around the carriage, and although the brocade cloth on the outside was expensive, it didn't have any patterns, so that people couldn't see the identity of the owner.

Su Ruiran guessed right away that Nangong Ling was in the car.

Because the surroundings were in chaos, but the carriage was still very quiet, not even a single person poked his head out to look around.

The enemy can be so indifferent now, who else but Nangong Ling?It's just that Su Ruiran was a little surprised that he would choose to ride in a carriage, but it doesn't make sense if he thought it might be just to deceive others.

At this moment, Nangong Ling's men had already fought with the group of men in black, Su Ruiran deliberately reined in the reins and stopped not far away, wanting to see the situation clearly first.After all, the other party had already made a move, so it was a step too late for him to arrive.

After several fierce battles, the man in black clearly had the upper hand, and Nangong Lingfang also suffered heavy casualties, but the carriage was still very quiet, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to come out to fight.Su Ruiran couldn't help but feel a little strange when she saw it, and she didn't know what Nangong Ling was thinking. If he didn't come out again, his entire army would be wiped out.

Su Ruiran watched anxiously from the side, but she couldn't help Nangong Ling with this idea.

The two or three men in black that I saw had already reached the carriage, and although there were still people rushing out to resist, they were still defeated.But even so, there was still no movement in the carriage, and no one came out.

What exactly is going on?

Su Ruiran couldn't help but put her hand into her sleeve, and there was a dagger tied to her right arm, which she originally planned to use for self-defense in case of emergency.

She stared at the carriage closely, and at this moment she had a bad premonition in her heart, always feeling that something seemed to have happened in the carriage.

Sure enough, the men in black all around rushed towards the carriage after they dealt with all the sergeants in their hands. Immediately, long swords came from all directions, surrounding the carriage tightly.

not good!dangerous!

Su Ruiran didn't care about anything else, she pulled out the dagger in her sleeve, and immediately rushed towards the carriage.

She rushed out suddenly, and the people in black around her were also taken aback, but before she could get close, two or three men in black suddenly rushed in front of her, blocked her way, and surrounded her.

Su Ruiran realized something was wrong and tried to get out of trouble, but the opponent's skills were not low, and with the advantage in numbers, it was very difficult for Su Ruiran to resist, let alone other things.

But when she came back to her senses, all the men in black suddenly withdrew.

She was taken aback for a moment, before she understood what happened, she was shocked when she saw the riddled carriage.Looking at the ground of the carriage, streaks of blood poured out of the carriage and flowed down the body of the carriage.
