Chapter 439 - 418: Second Update
"What are you doing?" Zheng Nianru was completely panicked, instinctively not wanting to come out. She was right; hiding under the carriage was also the safest method.
Ju Nanyi had already grabbed Zheng Nianru’s arm and was about to drag her out when suddenly a massive force surged from above, and the carriage was instantly flung into the air.
"Help me—" Zheng Nianru subconsciously tried to grab Ju Nanyi. Nanny Yun’s scream sounded beside her ear, but a hand from the thick smoke moved faster than Ju Nanyi, directly scooping up Zheng Nianru. By the time Ju Nanyi realized that the attackers were a group of cavalry, a horse’s hoof had already kicked him, and the arm that was holding Zheng Nianru flashed a cold light. Ju Nanyi instinctively blocked, and a brutal kick struck his arm, sending him flying. Zheng Nianru, groggy, seemed to spin in the air and hadn’t yet landed when a black sack covered her from head to toe, flinging her onto a back.
"Quick, chase them—" Ju Nanyi rolled over, grabbed a nearby horse, mounted it, and chased after them. Immediately, two guards also leaped onto horses and followed him.
Nanny Yun, tossed around, felt fiery pain on the left half of her body. Her clothes were slashed, drenched in blood. Because of the sharp pain, she came to her senses only to see the overturned carriage nearby. Crawling, she went to look for the Commandery Princess.
"Commandery Princess, Commandery Princess—" The screams and cries filled the air at that moment.
"Stop crying, where is the princess, where did the princess go?" Nanny Yun slapped Fu Dong’s cheek, jolting her awake. She was lying atop a dead female servant, her body trembling.
Nanny Yun gritted her teeth and snapped off the arrow shaft embedded in Fu Dong’s body.
"Quick, help me look for the princess—" Nanny Yun knew she couldn’t hold on any longer. She moved, and pain caused her to break out in a cold sweat. Although she didn’t know what had happened, she had been paying attention to the dispute between Lord Ju and the Commandery Princess. She saw a flash of cold light as if a frozen iron hook had caught the carriage and then the carriage flipped to one side. The wounds on her body seemed to have been caused by the hook.
