She gave a polite yet distant smile to the man in front of her. "I've practiced this a few times when I was free. Young Master Lu, please excuse me."

After she had reincarnated, she had not only collected some medicinal ingredients. In order to prevent herself from being harmed by An Lingyi the way she had in her previous life, she had also practiced her archery everyday and hid three to five poisons inside her sleeves to protect herself.

It was just that she did not expect her archery to be used so quickly.

As she thought about An Lingyi's actions just now, a glint flashed past her eyes.

An Lingyi had been doted upon by and the Aunt Li ever since she was young. In the Duke Palaces, she had always been an existence blessed by the stars, and in the past, she didn't suffer at all, nor did she feel angry at all. Now, facing the ferocious bandits, she actually dared to stand in front of An Yingcheng, protecting her father from danger?

Even if the sow were to climb the tree, An Lingge would never believe that An Lingyi would have such a great sacrifice.

Moreover, those bandits were really too strange. Ordinary bandits would only rob wealthy families that had no power, and even the fourth or fifth level officials did not dare to move against them. Today, they had already revealed their identity, but those bandits did not seem to care about them at all, as if they were not afraid of offending the government.

The most suspicious thing was that when An Lingyi rushed out, those bandits only attacked An Yingcheng, but did not harm An Lingyi at all.

Logically speaking, the woman was weaker than the man, and should be the first target of the bandits, but those bandits only said a few words before gathering together to face An Yingcheng.

Only when she got out of the carriage did the bandit leader really kill her, as if their goal was to kill her.

An Lingge lowered her eyes and covered her thoughts.

An Lingyi had already walked to the front of Lu Zhan, her head lowered, her heart beating erratically.

Just now, Lu Zhan was like a god that had descended. His valiant and formidable appearance had caused her to be unable to calm down for a long time.

She never thought that there would actually be a man who was as handsome as Hereditary Prince Mu, who was so powerful and elegant.

Furthermore, according to his father's meaning, he was even the son of General Da Lu, and his status was not low either.

If he couldn't marry Hereditary Prince Mu, marrying this kind of man wasn't bad either.

As An Lingyi thought this, her expression couldn't help but become somewhat bashful, but she began to belittle An Lingge, "Big sister's archery is so, if I had come out earlier to protect father, then father wouldn't have had to be frightened. "It's a pity that I don't know anything and can only stand in front of father to buy time for father."

As she showed Lu Zhan that she would not hesitate to sacrifice his own good qualities for his father, he also added some ointment to An Lingge's eyes.

Look, even though An Lingge had such a powerful archery skill, she did not care about her father's life. This kind of woman was simply too cold-blooded and heartless.

After being reminded by her, only then did An Yingcheng recall the situation from before, and her complexion slightly changed.

"No way, Miss An is using herself to attract the attention of the bandits, so that you can escape."

Lu Zhan laughed and shook his head, telling his what he had just seen, "Just now, when the bandits attacked Prince An, Miss An immediately came out of the carriage and shot an arrow at the bandit leader. This time, she had angered the bandit himself and almost died."

The mountain road spiraled upwards, and from above, one could see the scene on the road below.

When the bandits jumped out, he happened to see this scene on the mountain and rushed over just in time.

An Yingcheng thought about it, it was indeed because An Lingge's arrow had injured the bandit chief and lured a large number of bandits over, that he was able to last until Lu Zhan's arrival.

"Little Ge has always been intelligent and nimble. Even when facing so many bandits, she was never timid."

There was also a proud expression on his face, as if An Lingge being so powerful had given his Prince An's Palace quite a bit of face.

When the Aunt Li saw that the bandit did not kill An Lingge, his face darkened.

Now that he saw that An Lingge was actually praised by the Duke, and that he had completely messed up her meticulously planned plan, causing An Lingyi to not be able to put on a righteous front in front of An Yingcheng, he clenched his teeth even tighter, and wished that he could chew on An Lingge's meat.

However, in front of Lu Zhan, she still pretended to be a kind aunt, "That's right, if it wasn't for eldest miss and Young Master Lu, we wouldn't be able to survive today. Yi Er has daintily raised her since he was young, so when she stood in front of the Duke, he really gave me a fright. "

At this moment, Aunt Li pretended to praise An Lingge and did not forget to remind An Yingcheng that An Lingyi had used her life in exchange for's safety.

How could An Yingcheng not be moved? He momentarily forgot how malicious An Lingyi was, and only felt that he had always misunderstood this daughter of his.

His Yi Er was obviously still that cute and cute little cotton-padded jacket. The matters from a few days ago were only because she had the temperament of a child.

But who didn't do the wrong thing when they were young? In front of the great calamity, Yi Er had still placed his father at the most important position. This proved that her nature was not bad, and that she only had a little personality.

"Yi Er also surprised this king. I didn't expect that when she grew up, she would know to protect father."

Lu Zhan could not wait to hear how the whole family would sigh. If not for An Lingge here, he would have left right after saving them.

Seeing that An Yingcheng seemed to want to drag him for a while longer, Lu Zhan could only pull out a smile and casually praised, "Prince An's teaching skills are impressive, even the young miss and the Hereditary Prince s of Prince An's Palace are brave and determined, they are worthy of respect."

An Yingcheng laughed, and as if he had met his best friend, he pulled Lu Zhan and invited him to the same carriage.

Lu Zhan hesitated for a moment. Seeing An Yingcheng's gaze drift towards the mountain forest from time to time, he knew that An Yingcheng was worried that those bandits would come back.

He was also afraid that those bandits would not give up and agreed to An Yingcheng's invitation.

An Yingcheng was ecstatic, and immediately ordered for the best horse carriage for Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan initially did not want him to be serious, but it was impossible to change him, so he accepted the arrangement.

An Lingyi quietly raised his eyes to size him up, and only felt that he had a deep look in his eyes, as though she could make people lose their minds just by looking at him.

A faint blush slowly appeared on her cheeks, and the hand hidden in her sleeve slowly clenched.

Hereditary Prince Mu would be going to the Mo Bei soon, and thus, she didn't know when she would be able to return to the capital. It would be better for her to use this opportunity to make a move against Lu Zhan, so that she could suppress An Lingge even if she became the wife of a general.

How could An Lingyi, who harbored such thoughts, possibly think that Lu Zhan accompanied them down the mountain to return to their residence purely because he was worried for An Lingge's safety? There was no trace of her in his heart.
