C115 Dare to Lose One's Life in the Nick of Time
Zhou Qu got down from the horse and said, "Zhou Qu greets the Empress!"
The woman in front of him was the current Consort Hui, Third Prince's Mother Consort.
Consort Hui looked at Zhou Qu and said, "It's great to see General Zhou here. I twisted my leg and the horse ran again. Can I trouble General Zhou to send me back to the camp?"
Consort Hui's face was filled with pain.
Zhou Qu frowned. Then, he said, "Since the Empress has already given her orders, Zhou Qu will naturally follow them."
Then, Zhou Qu led the horse over and Consort Hui sat on the horse. Zhou Qu was worried about Lee Wanning, but Consort Hui was still his mistress after all. Naturally, he had to follow her orders.
At this moment, Lee Wanning slowly woke up.
In front of her, it was all an unfamiliar place.
The horse kept running. Lee Wanning tried her best to straighten her back. When she saw the scene in front of her, her expression changed.
It's right in front of us. It looks like a... The cliff.
Lee Wanning's expression immediately changed. She pulled on the reins, but the horse showed no signs of stopping. Lee Wanning had been working hard for a long time, but the horse seemed to have gone crazy and kept running forward.
He moved so fast that Lee Wanning gritted her teeth. After realizing that it was useless, she took the hairpin from her head and stabbed it into the horse's throat.
Bright red blood immediately spurted out. Lee Wanning's hands were trembling. The horse finally stopped and viciously flung Lee Wanning off her feet.
Lee Wanning grimaced in pain. She was panting heavily, and so was the horse. Lee Wanning slowly got up from the ground. She had no idea where she was.
She hadn't eaten much since morning, and now her stomach was growling.
In front of them, there was a cave. Lee Wanning tried her best to stand up, but just as she was about to walk over, she heard heavy breathing.
Lee Wanning abruptly turned her head, only to see that in front of her, there was a half a person's height … Great White Tiger.
This time, Ann Yu and Wang Yanran were really going to kill him!
The big white tiger's target was obviously him, because the horse was already dead and they had no interest in dead prey.
Lee Wanning took a step back, looking at her sharp fangs. Compared to being buried in a tiger's belly, Lee Wanning was better off falling down the cliff just now.
She slowly reached into her hand, only to feel a dagger.
That was what Zhou Qu gave him when he was going to enter the palace. He wanted her to protect him …
Just as Lee Wanning was thinking this, the White Tiger was already prepared to attack. Lee Wanning picked up the dagger. That gesture was probably the most pointless struggle in the eyes of the White Tiger.
At that moment, the White Tiger had already jumped up. Just as Lee Wanning raised her dagger, a golden arrow flew towards her from midair. It directly pierced through the White Tiger's throat.
Lee Wanning fell to the ground in fright.
Her eyes widened as tears streamed down her face. Then, the sound of a slow galloping horse could be heard. Only after a long while did Lee Wanning finally have the courage to lift her head up.
Ann Tan was looking at himself with a smile.
Lee Wanning wiped her tears and said, "What are you laughing at?"
He said, "I just thought you were quite interesting. If it was anyone else, they would have probably fallen to the ground long ago. Your'e 'performance was pretty good."
Lee Wanning couldn't tell that he was praising her. She stood up and said, "You saw it already?"
Ann Tan nodded. He glanced at the horse and said, "You sure did hit it hard."
Lee Wanning originally felt uneasy because she killed it. Although she wasn't a good man or woman, she was still afraid of losing a living life under her hands. Now that she heard Ann Tan's words, the anger in her heart increased.
She said, "Since you've already seen it, why didn't you save me earlier? If you hadn't hit me, I might have died! "
Ann Tan said, "I've never fired an empty shot before. Moreover, if I missed, you still have a dagger, right?"
Lee Wanning was too lazy to guess whether he was mocking her or not. She could only grit her teeth and walk past him.
Ann Tan said, "Are you sure you know the way back?"
Lee Wanning's footsteps suddenly stopped. Ann Tan said with a smile, "Come on up, I'll take you back."
Lee Wanning hesitated for a long time before she slowly walked to his side.
Ann Tan pulled her onto the horse.
He embraced her from the back and Lee Wanning immediately struggled to go down. Ann Tan said, "This is the depths of the forest, and there are a lot of ferocious beasts here. If you don't want to be torn apart by them later, you'd better stay there."
Remembering the scene just now, Lee Wanning still stood there quietly. Ann Tan looked at her and said, "You are quite interesting, General Zhou really married such a wonderful person."
Lee Wanning lowered her head and said, "General Zhou is flattering me."
Ann Tan laughed and said, "No, you're really good. Hmm, your words count. I was thinking this morning that if you went back on your word, I would poison your husband to death. But in this situation, I think you have some credibility."
Lee Wanning didn't answer. Ann Tan lifted her chin and said, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Lee Wanning's head was turned around by him, and she had the nagging feeling that he would throw her off his horse at any moment. These brothers of theirs all liked to do this kind of thing.
Lee Wanning could only grind her teeth and ask, "What does Seventh Prince want me to answer you for?"
"Shouldn't you, for example, show your loyalty to me now?"
Lee Wanning couldn't help but chuckle and said, "If Seventh Prince wants to hear something against his will, I can tell you a few things, but what happens after I finish speaking? Does Seventh Prince believe it? "
"You mean you won't be on my side?"
"If you want to seize the seat, then whatever you want has nothing to do with me. This time, we will take what we need, and whatever you want from now on, it has nothing to do with us. Zhou Qu and I just want to live our little lives."
Just as Lee Wanning finished her sentence, Ann Tan couldn't help but laugh. That laughter was as if he had said something extremely funny. His chest was trembling nonstop.
Lee Wanning immediately frowned.
Ann Tan said, "You are really quite interesting, isn't it? Do you think you can still go back today? "
Before Lee Wanning could react, she heard a voice not too far away, "Sister! "Elder sister!"
Lee Wanning wanted to answer, but Ann Tan had already covered her mouth and said, "Things aren't over yet. I know you and Ann Yu have a good relationship, she also treats me as her brother, but, if she sees us together …"
Hearing that, Lee Wanning immediately shut her mouth. Ann Tan got down from the horse, leaving Lee Wanning to sit on it. Only then did she respond to Ann Yu.
Ann Yu rushed over. Lee Wanning was sitting on the horse with Ann Tan leading the horse. She looked at Lee Wanning and asked, "Sister, are you alright? I'm sorry, I really didn't know this would happen. Are you alright? "
Lee Wanning shook her head. "I'm fine, just …"
Saying this, she glanced at Ann Tan and said, "It's all thanks to Seventh Prince, otherwise I would really have gotten lost here."
Ann Yu nodded, then looked at Ann Tan and said, "I really have to trouble you, Seventh Brother. I just returned to the camp and found that my sister hasn't returned, so I came to check on her."
Ann Yu immediately let Lee Wanning ride with her, while Ann Tan rode with her.
Lee Wanning asked, "Where's Zhou Qu?"
Hearing this, Ann Yu was stunned for a moment. Then, she slowly said, "General Zhou has already returned to the camp. He originally wanted to come with us, but because of Miss Wang …"
"Enough, I don't want to hear it." Lee Wanning interrupted her.
Ann Yu looked at her and said, "Sister, don't be sad. I didn't think it would turn out like this. Those guards were useless. They clearly knew about the conflict between you and Miss Wang, but they actually let the two of you go alone! I'll definitely punish them when we get back! "
"It's fine, I have nothing to do anyway."
In Lee Wanning's heart, there was only disappointment.
She knew that Wang Yanran was injured, so he had to be by her side. However, he clearly knew that she was waiting for him on the spot, right? How could he not be worried about what would happen to him?
Lee Wanning's whole body shuddered when she thought of what happened to her. Ann Yu looked at her but didn't say anything.
Ann Tan, on the other hand, had that look in his eyes … This caused Ann Yu to frown.
At this time, Zhou Qu was being held back by Prime Minister Wang in the tent. He wanted to personally go out and find Lee Wanning, but Prime Minister Wang wouldn't let him. His forceful attitude made Zhou Qu very angry.
"You mean people who don't believe me? You've already sent so many people to find her, do you think that I will make a move on her? "
There was a cold sneer in Zhou Qu's voice, "I didn't mean it that way."
"Since you don't have that intention, you should just stay here peacefully!"
