Chapter 58
The carriage traveled rapidly through the cold night. The weather has been fine these few days, and the snow on the ground has melted, leaving only a few faint spots of white.

Although the north wind is still bitter, small buds have sprouted from the branches, which symbolizes that after the cold winter, spring is coming.

At this moment, the night had not yet receded, and the sky had turned pale. Jiang Ling had already rode his horse to guard the only way out of the city.

After leaving the city, Su Mei's carriage will definitely go this way.

Last night, Jiang Ling already knew that Qin Luan was hiding in the room since he stepped into Luoliyuan. He wanted to see what Su Mei would do, and he hinted to her many times in his words that she still chose to follow Qin Luan to escape from Jiang Mansion. Now I plan to go out of the city and go to Leizhou with Hou Fangqing.

Jiang Ling sneered, her pitch-black pupils gleamed coldly, and her face was frighteningly gloomy.

Qin Zhen is really an unfamiliar wolf, even if he loses his memory, he doesn't change his wolf nature at all.

The wheels of the carriage rolled and creaked on the ground, which could be heard very clearly in the silent cold night. Jiang Ling clenched the hilt of the sword tightly, and her knuckles made dull sounds.

Jiang Ling was dressed in a black brocade robe, her face was as cold as water, and she quietly stared at the galloping carriage.

The cold wind half rolled the car curtain, Su Mei glanced out from the car curtain that was lifted by the cold wind, as if she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure not far away.

She was startled, and clasped her hands tightly. Her fingertips turned white due to the force, and she pinched her palms tightly. Feeling the strange expression on her face, Hou Fangqing asked, "What's wrong with Zhen'er?"

Su Mei shook her head, she must have been mistaken, how could that figure be Jiang Ling, if Jiang Ling noticed that she had escaped and chased her all the way out of the city from Jiangfu, it would take several hours to arrive.

Su Mei shook her head and said with a smile: "No problem, it should be because I didn't sleep well."

"Then Zhen'er will sleep for a while, stay out of the city, and keep going south. It will take about four or five days to reach Leizhou."

Su Mei nodded slightly, it must be because she was too nervous and worried, she saw Jiang Ling in a daze, Su Mei closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage wall, trying to shake Jiang Ling's image out of her mind.

Suddenly an arrow shot at the carriage from a distance, the sharp arrow pierced through the curtain and nailed to the carriage wall only an inch away from Su Mei.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the body shook violently. Su Mei's face turned pale with fright, and her heart jumped wildly following the neighing of the horse.

Jiang Ling rode his horse and appeared, the second and third arrows in his hand were already on the bowstring.

Hou Fangqing hastily protected Su Mei behind him, and Qin Luan drew out his long sword, "Jiang Ling, I didn't expect to be discovered by you."

Jiang Ling's unparalleled handsome face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost, and those beautiful star eyes were as deep as a deep pool.

He stared coldly at Su Mei's pale and bloodless face, and said with a sneer, "Come here!"

Su Mei's body couldn't help trembling, Hou Fangqing hurriedly blocked her behind, "Zhen'er already knows the truth, I will definitely take Zhen'er away tonight!"

"The truth?" Jiang Ling sneered, and two arrows were fired from the string, heading straight for Hou Fangqing's face. Qin Luan hurriedly used the long sword in his hand to block it.

Hearing the clang and forceful sound of the two arrows rubbing against the blade of the sword, the two arrows were pressing towards Hou Fangqing. The sharp arrows tore through his robe and nailed to the wall of the carriage behind him.

Two sharp arrows pierced Hou Fangqing's left and right arms, and two smears of bright red blood leaked from the torn opening of his robe.

Su Mei frowned tightly, her eyes were red with tears and she said, "My lord, the general will not let me go."

Jiang Ling rode on a horse and looked down at Su Mei coldly, "What? You are not willing to be a substitute for this general, and you will climb up to Duke Ning's mansion in a blink of an eye?"

Su Mei frowned, and tears of grievance were about to come out of her eyes. She shook her head and mustered up the courage to meet those cold eyes, "I'm not! I'm not a substitute! You already knew that, right? Why did you lie to me, why did you humiliate me like this?"

The grievances and humiliation suffered in the past few days burst out in an instant, Su Mei's thin body was trembling with excitement, but tears fell from her eyes because of fear.

Jiang Ling's dark pupils shrank slightly, and she looked at Su Mei coldly. After a while, he hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a half smile, "Qin Zhen? You deserve it too!"

He drew his sword and pointed at Hou Fangqing, "Did he tell you? It's so stupid! You will always be only worthy of Qin Zhen as a substitute, and now, you are not worthy of being a substitute!"

"Jiang Ling, don't go too far. You bullied Zhen'er with amnesia and made her your concubine. She followed you without a name. You just want to take revenge on the Qin family. Today I will take your dog's life." , to avenge the lives of more than [-] people who died in the Qin family."

"It's up to you?" Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows and pulled out her sword. The sharp sword was out of its sheath, and the silver light shone like a flying silver snake. I saw sparks from the collision of the sword body, and Qin Luan's arm was shaken by the strength of the sword. Feeling numb, the sword in Jiang Ling's hand fell to the ground, and the long sword in Jiang Ling's hand went straight to Qin Luan's throat.

"I beg the general to spare them, I'll go back with you." Su Mei's face was pale, she yelled loudly, knelt in front of Jiang Ling and kept begging for mercy.

Hou Fangqing clutched her chest and coughed violently, "Zhen'er doesn't ask him, even if I die, I will never let him bully you again."

Jiang Ling pushed Hou Fangqing away, put Su Mei on her shoulders, and threw Su Mei on the horse's back. Her actions were rough and she showed no pity.

Jiang Ling sneered and said, "Young Lord, let's think about how to get out first."

"Master Guo, they are in front!" There was a rush of hoofbeats, Duke Ning Hou Yu frowned deeply, and gestured to the long attendants beside him, and those people swarmed up, and quickly surrounded him.

Hou Fangqing trembled and stared at Jiang Ling angrily, "It's you? Jiang Ling, you are so despicable!"

Jiang Ling sneered and said, "My lord, you haven't even noticed until now that you are kind-hearted, but you are too easy to trust others. It is not this general who reported to the Duke's mansion, but him!"

Before Jiang Ling finished speaking, Hou Yu said, "Xie An, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and send the young master back to the mansion."

Only then did Hou Fangqing realize that it was Xie An who betrayed him, and Xie An was actually the person his father placed by his side.

His father must have known that he would leave tonight, but he did not stop him from leaving the house. Instead, he led people to guard at the city gate, probably for the purpose of coming for the brothers and sisters of the Qin family.

Hou Yu winked at Xie An, Xie An quickly stepped forward, and said to Hou Fangqing: "Young master, I have offended you!"

Hou Fangqing's face turned pale, and her lips trembled, "I trust you so much, you actually..."

Xie An knocked him unconscious with one palm and took Hou Fangqing away. Hou Yu said to the attendants beside him: "The Qin family committed a heinous crime, Qin Luan fled outside, and he was shot to death with random arrows."

Fortunately, Su Mei took the first step while Jiang Ling was still on the horse. Hou Yu didn't know that she was Qin Zhen.

Hou Yu stepped forward, cupped his hands to Jiang Ling and said, "Will the general not stop you?"

Jiang Ling said coldly: "No, Grandpa, please go ahead."

He only glanced at Su Mei on the horseback, and said coldly: "This general is here to arrest this disobedient outer room, the rest has nothing to do with this general."

Hou Yu ordered to shoot arrows, Qin Luan was already surrounded by the rain of arrows, Qin Luan tried his best to resist, but was still pierced by sharp arrows, Su Mei just reunited with her brother, and she wanted to watch him being shot to death by random arrows.

She shook her head desperately, and begged Jiang Ling, "I beg the general to save him."

She just met her elder brother. There is only Qin Luan's only relative left in this world. She doesn't want him to die.

Jiang Ling approached and whispered in her ear: "Don't talk, let alone beg, if you scream out, he will die faster."

Jiang Ling got on the horse and took Su Mei away. The tears in Su Mei's eyes kept hitting the ground. She was lying on the horse's back in such a posture that her bones were about to fall apart, and her internal organs hurt.

She sobbed softly and begged for mercy, "I beg the general, save him, Su Mei will never run away again, Su Mei will never dare again, beg the general to save him..."

"He wants to assassinate the general, why should I save him!" Jiang Ling didn't pay any attention to it, and with just one sentence, he hurried back to the city.
