At the entrance of the pharmacy, Cheng Ling stopped in her tracks and was about to dodge.

Unexpectedly, the person staggered and suddenly jumped out, “It’s you…”

This voice was familiar!

It was the person who shot three arrows in a row at the East Gate of Lu County that night to help Cheng Ling repel the enemy. This should be his voice!

Cheng Ling instantly remembered why this voice sounded familiar. She quickly reached out and supported the person’s body.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, a strong smell of blood assailed their noses.

Cheng Ling’s expression changed slightly, but the voice still rang in her ears. “Run, there are, there are pursuers…”

The last two words were said very softly and vaguely. If it wasn’t for Cheng Ling’s sharp senses, she wouldn’t have heard it clearly.

Cheng Ling’s heart trembled. This wasn’t an ordinary expert. If he could suffer such serious injuries, then the people chasing him must be extraordinary.

This could not be delayed!

Cheng Ling immediately put a hand under his armpit, helped him up, and put him on the carriage tied to the medicine shop.

The carriage was filled with all kinds of messy things, but Cheng Ling didn’t care about cleaning them up. She just squeezed him in the middle and covered him with a raincoat. “You hide well!”

After saying this, Cheng Ling sat in the front seat and gently shook the reins, urging the horse to run.

She knew how to ride a horse, and after yesterday and today, she had learned how to drive from Mu Sanniang.

Cheng Ling drove the carriage quickly and steadily. Although there were many pedestrians on the road, she was as agile as a fish. Her expression was also very calm, and almost no change could be seen. Not long after, they arrived at the market in the west of the city.

There, someone was pulling Hong Guangyi’s arm, saying that he wanted to buy a horse instead of a hairpin.

How could this horse be sold so easily?

When Cheng Ling arrived, she saw Hong Guangyi’s eyes suddenly widen. He took out a polished knife from his bag.

Although it was just a vegetable knife, in Hong Guangyi’s hands, it already had the bloody smell of a butcher’s knife.

He raised the kitchen knife, and under the man’s terrified gaze, he cut the throat of a roe deer in front of the stall.

Her eyes, which were already in a daze, only whimpered softly, and then blood spurted out, spilling on the ground.

The merchant who wanted to buy a horse was speechless.

Hong Guangyi said in a rough voice, “I’m not selling the horse!” The hairpin was killed on the spot, do you want it?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” The merchant immediately nodded his head vigorously.

As he spoke, he took out two strings of money from his sleeve and threw them in front of Hong Guangyi. He then dragged the hairpin to the ground and walked away quickly with his head lowered.

Wang Dazhu’s eyes lit up, and Wang Sidun’s face was full of envy. Hong Guangyi wiped the blood off his face and carefully handed the money to Sanniang Mu. The smile on his face became simple and honest again. “Sister-in-law, we’ve earned some money.”

Third Aunt Mu hurriedly took it, not knowing how to respond.

Fortunately, Cheng Ling came over and said, “Pack up, we’re leaving the city.”

Everyone agreed with Cheng Ling’s words, so Hong Guangyi started to pack up.

Actually, there wasn’t much to pack. The two roe deers had been sold out, and the Wang brothers’ roe deers had also been sold out. On the other hand, Cheng Ling and the others only needed to roll up the broken mat on the ground, and everyone got into the carriage.

“Big sister, second sister, I have a lot of things in my car,” Cheng Ling said. “You can all sit in Second Brother Hong’s car. Mother, you can sit in our car.”

After the distribution, everyone got into the car. Cheng Ling then said to Wang Dazhu and his brother, “Brother Wang, thank you for your hospitality yesterday. You guys should also hurry home! The martial world is a long way, we’ll meet again if fate allows!”

With that, he cupped his fists and drove away.

Before they left Xi City, they saw a group of people rushing towards them. The leaders were all dressed in official uniforms and they were shouting, “Get out of the way! Move! Take a closer look, have you seen this person before?”

The person in the lead was holding a portrait. The man in the portrait had Phoenix eyes and a pair of eyebrows. Although the drawing wasn’t very vivid, one could still vaguely see that it was the man Cheng Ling had hidden in the carriage!

Cheng Ling’s path was blocked by this group of people. She immediately reined in her horse and got off the carriage.

She cupped her fists and smiled, “Sir, who is this? I’ve never seen him before.”

Seeing that the official’s gaze was on the carriage, he quickly said, “It’s for the sake of our family. We’re doing some business. These are all stored goods. I’m sorry to see you like this.”

As she spoke, she held hands with the officer and took the opportunity to give him a Golden Pearl.

The officer took the Golden Pearl in his hand, and his eyes widened. He couldn’t help but put the Golden Pearl in his mouth and bite it. After biting it, he quickly waved his hand. “Since you’ve never seen it before, don’t block the way! Let’s go, let’s go!”

Cheng Ling quickly got back on the carriage and whipped the horse, quickly driving it away.

Hong Guangyi quickly followed him without a word. He only focused on driving.

Very quickly, the two carriages had traveled three to five hundred feet. Just as they were about to turn and leave the market street, the officers who had been dazzled by the Golden Pearls behind them suddenly reacted.

“No, there’s something wrong with that kid!” One of them exclaimed.

Immediately after, the officers shouted, “The kid in front, stop! Stop the carriage and get off the horse, or else you’ll be thrown into jail for a serious crime!”

Since the officer had already said so, how could Cheng Ling stop?

Not only did she not stop, but she also whipped the horse to increase the speed of the carriage. She reminded Hong Guangyi,”Second Brother Hong, quickly follow!”

Hong Guangyi followed closely behind. The two of them rode the carriage and sped through the streets of the city. Cheng Ling took the lead and headed straight for the north gate of Yun An County.

After exiting the North City gate and walking another fifty miles North, it was said that they would reach the county city of Yunchuan County, which was also known as Red Cloud City!

The horse carriage galloped, and the officers behind could not catch up with it on foot.

However, behind the officials, there was another group of people dressed in a variety of clothes. These people looked like idlers on the street, but a few of them were particularly strong.

“What a good thief!” Someone said. Chief Zhang, how about I catch up with him?”

“Hurry up, I’ll put in a good word for you in front of the county Lord!” The officer said.

“Alright!” The man laughed, then took a long bamboo pole in his hand and strode in the direction of Cheng Ling’s carriage.

This person’s speed was terrifyingly fast. Seeing that he could easily leap twenty to thirty feet, this already far exceeded the limits of ordinary people.

Cheng Ling turned around and saw that he was about to throw the bamboo pole at Hong Guangyi!

“Mother, arrows!” Cheng Ling immediately said.

Mu Sanniang quickly handed the crossbow to Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling pulled on the reins and turned around to shoot an arrow!

The mechanism was buckled down, and this sharp weapon from the modern era once again stably displayed its power.

The arrow never disappointed Cheng Ling. It instantly shot out. Whoosh!

The meteors chased the moon and hit the left leg bone of the person who was chasing after him.

“Ah!” The pursuer fell to the ground with a scream.

Cheng Ling turned around and continued driving.
