The cold and sinister energy in the other party's eyes caused Gu Zhao, who had just come forward, to be unable to resist trembling slightly.

He had already seen too much of such a gaze in the eyes of his enemies.

It was not uncommon for people to look at him with hatred, tenacity, and fearlessness. This was because the people he met that could be called his opponents were definitely not ordinary people.

However, those eyes were too beautiful. They were like the stars in the sky, dazzling and resplendent.

This was the first time he saw such a strong killing intent in such beautiful eyes.

However, the surprise only lasted for a moment.

In the next moment, the sword in his hand had already been thrust out.

Seeing that the blade of the sword was already pressing towards Mu Qianyu, there was no way Mu Qianyu could avoid it.

Xiao Chengzhen stood at the side, enjoying the liveliness. He was extremely satisfied with his subordinate's performance, but he had never thought that Gu Zhao would die from the poison in his body. He only cared about making the people in the cage submit.

However, at this moment, there was a loud bang.

A sharp arrow pierced through the tree branch, directly striking the sword in Gu Zhao's hand with a strong force.

Gu Zhao was not prepared, the sword in his hand did not even have time to retreat, and was actually cut off by the arrow.

He was astonished. What level of inner force was this to be able to achieve such a thing?

Mu Qianyu suddenly raised her head, looking in the direction of the arrow, and frowned slightly.

She did not have any friends here, nor did she have any helpers. How could someone come to save her? Wasn't this a bit too strange?

Moreover, no one knew where she was anyway.

Then who was this person?

"How preposterous! He actually dared to spoil my good fortune and caught me!"

The good show that was about to take place did not even begin. Xiao Chengzhen was immediately enraged, his handsome face was filled with shock.

After that, he raised his hand and several Dark Guard s descended from the sky, as they directly headed in the direction of the arrows.

Dark Guard had just made its move, as it chased in the direction of the arrow.

Yet another black-clothed figure descended from the skies.

Although the man was masked, he was tall and slender, and his movements were graceful. Even though his face could not be seen, he was still pleasing to the eyes.

Before anyone could react, there was a flash of cold light and an exit to the cage that Mu Qianyu was in.

Mu Qianyu quietly looked at the black clothed man who suddenly barged in, her thin lips slightly pursed.

In an instant, he felt his waist tighten as he was carried out of the iron cage.

Her body trembled slightly as she frowned heavily. She truly did not want to interact intimately with a man.

"If you want to live, then don't move recklessly."

The deep voice of the man in black sounded in his ears.

She raised her head to look into the black clothed man's eyes that were as deep as ink.

These eyes were very familiar.

"Chase!"

Xiao Chengzhen's furious voice came from behind.

Mu Qianyu resigned to her fate and was carried away by the black-clothed man as he left the Minister Mansion.

There were too many pursuers behind her, and she was also injured. If she didn't follow this person, she definitely wouldn't be able to leave.

Even though he felt awkward, he still had to accept his fate.

What she did not expect was that Xiao Chengzhen had come prepared, and just as he left the Minister Mansion, he saw that a group of archers had already been prepared outside the Duke Palaces, and were getting into position.

The black clothed person carried her without stopping, without taking a single glance at the archers lying in ambush outside the Minister Mansion. He did not have a single trace of panic on his body.

At the same time, several arrows shot out at the same time, towards Mu Qianyu and the black clothed man.

The man in black was extremely fast, easily dodging the rain of arrows and disappearing from the sight of the archers.

This kind of Lightness Exercise at the peak of perfection, was definitely a top-notch expert.

Mu Qianyu's eyes were like water, staring straight at the black clothed man who was hugging him, no one knew what he was thinking.

Unexpectedly, just as they were getting away from the archers, a throwing knife came from behind without any warning, right on the back of the man in black.

Because the flying knife came too quickly and too mysteriously, the two of them weren't prepared for it. By the time they felt the murderous intent, the flying knife was already in front of them.

The black clothed man was still as indifferent as before. On his body, no trace of nervousness could be felt.

In that instant, Mu Qianyu used a little bit of force to change her position from the black-clothed man.

The flying blade was blocked by Mu Qianyu and directly stabbed into her back.

The strength of the flying knife was too strong, it almost pierced through her thin body.

However, she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound. Her posture didn't change either, and she didn't go any closer to the man in black.

Seeing her block the knife for him, the black clothed man's movements became sluggish. He looked at her in confusion and asked, "You?"

From his point of view, she was not the type of person who liked to help when there was injustice.

But why did he block the blade for him this time?

As he thought of this, the strength in his hands tightened as he tightly embraced her, so that she wouldn't be unable to hold on for a while.

It was as if he didn't even realize the slight sense of compassion he felt.

However, Mu Qianyu did not look at him, but turned around and looked back instead. She saw Xiao Chengzhen standing not far away, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a hint of a pleased and cold smile on his face.

Mu Qianyu glanced at Xiao Chengzhen coldly, and then turned his head, not saying a word.

In his heart, he had already remembered the grudge this time.

Ten years ago, Zheng Qingwan accidentally bumped into the crown prince and was beaten half to death.

Ten years later, the crown prince hurt her again.

She would never let him go so easily.

Feeling the sudden killing intent from the girl in his embrace, the black clothed man slightly lowered his head. Only then did he realize that his clear, jade-green eyes were filled with hostility and a sinister light.

It was the first time he had seen someone with such an imposing aura at such a young age.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already landed several kilometers away.

The moment the two of them landed, Mu Qianyu reached out to push the black clothed man away.

"You're hurt."

The black clothed man silently gazed at her, his thoughts complex.

Mu Qianyu raised his head and looked at him, her tone flat, "I don't care who you are, and I have no interest in knowing who you are. But since you saved my life, I've received a blow on your behalf.

After finishing his sentence, he didn't even bother to bandage his wound as he turned around and left.

The black-clothed man was slightly taken aback. So she had helped him fend off the blade, just that she wanted to help each other out.

Mu Qianyu turned and walked away, taking the chance to pull out the flying dagger behind him.

He immediately put the blood-stained flying dagger on his waist.

Sooner or later, she would return the knife to the crown prince.

He had only taken a few steps when he felt a corrosive pain from his wound.

Feeling that something was wrong, Liu Mei frowned and instantly lost consciousness.

He tilted his head and fell forward.

The black-clothed man's expression changed slightly. With a flash, he caught her in his embrace. He lowered his head to look at the wound on her back, which was already starting to turn black.

The dart was highly toxic.

Without a second thought, he reached out and pressed a few of her acupoints to prevent the poison from scurrying around his body.

"Your Highness!"

The people from the Prince Li Palace instantly appeared.

Luo Jin and Luo Yu knelt on the ground, awaiting his orders.

"Return to the estate."

The man in black took off his towel, revealing his facial features.

Other than Prince Li, who else could this person be?

Seeing the unconscious Mu Qianyu, Xiao Chengyi did not hesitate anymore and immediately turned back to the Duke Palace.
