551: Dying (4)

Dying (4)

"Don't worry, they should be here for me. When the time comes, just pretend you fainted and find an opportunity to escape," Shen Miao said.2

"How can I abandon you and run for my life?" Luo Tan grabbed Shen Miao's hand. "Back then, you saved the Luo family in Spring City. Even if I can't save you, I won't abandon you. If we have to die, we'll die together!"

Shen Miao did not know whether to laugh or cry. Now was not the time to be heroic. She stood up with difficulty in the swaying carriage and whispered into Luo Tan's ear, "Remember, if you successfully escape, think of a way to send a letter to Prince Rui. Tell him that you have a deal to make and that you'll talk about the price later."

Luo Tan was stunned when she heard that. She looked at Shen Miao suspiciously. "Why do you know Prince Rui? Cousin, you…"

"Don't ask so many questions." Shen Miao said, "This matter is very important. Don't mention Prince Rui to anyone. I'll tell you because I trust you."

Luo Tan nodded, then shook her head. "No, I won't leave you alone."

Before Shen Miao could say anything, the carriage suddenly stopped. Then, the curtain of the carriage was suddenly lifted, and someone came in and dragged Shen Miao out.

Luo Tan hugged Shen Miao's thigh. "Cousin!" She used all her strength to keep Shen Miao from being taken away. The person was probably very angry and suddenly gave Luo Tan a hard kick.

Even if Luo Tan practiced martial arts in the Luo family all year round, she was still a young girl. After being kicked in the check, she immediately fell out of the carriage.

The other person urged, "Hurry up. Don't be discovered."

They cut off the carriage from the horse. Without a word, one of them covered Shen Miao's mouth with a cloth and tied her hands and feet. He knocked Shen Miao out and threw her onto the horse, making Luo Tan furious. Luo Tan suddenly saw a saber falling out of the carriage. Today, Feng Anning had enough of shopping in the jewelry shop, so she was kind enough to accompany Luo Tan to shop in the weapons shop. That was where she bought the saber. Without thinking, she grabbed the saber and charged at one of the men.

That person was a martial artist. He knocked Luo Tan to the ground in a few moves. Luo Tan suddenly looked surprised. "The military…"

These two were not ordinary people. They knew the moves taught exclusively to the soldiers. They were from the army!

When the person heard Luo Tan's words, his eyes suddenly turned fierce. He snatched the saber from Luo Tan's hand and stabbed her.

Luo Tan held her waist and slowly fell down.

Another person was still urging, "Stop dawdling. Let's go!"

Only then did the man throw down the saber and get on another horse. The two of them quickly disappeared into the alley.

In the dark alley, there was an upturned carriage. Luo Tan lay on the ground, her apricot-colored dress gradually dyed red, looking especially terrifying.

…

Feng Anning slapped the two guards.

The two guards knelt down and kowtowed. "Miss, please punish me!"

"Punish you?" Feng Anning smiled instead of being angry. "How should I punish you? Flog you or sell you? What's the point of punishing you? Can Shen Miao and Luo Tan come back after I punish you?"

The two guards did not say anything. They also tried to chase after the carriage, but the carriage was extremely fast. When they started to chase, there was already a distance between them. The other party seemed to have come prepared. They went into alleys and disappeared.
