The wheels of the carriage rolled along the ground, so lightly.
As if they bore no weight at all!
There was no one inside the carriage!
Feng Ling's heart jolted. Then, as if a realization dawned, she suddenly understood.
"Leng Ji, you're sending me to my death!"
Enraged, she turned back to the carriage door, about to lift the curtain.
But unexpectedly, Leng Ji turned his head. With a swish, he forcefully pulled the curtain back down, just as it was about to be lifted!
Killing intent!
There was indeed an ambush ahead!
Feng Ye Xuan and Ding Chen, carrying the unconscious Chu Qian Li and Yu Xing, were no longer with the convoy.
And all of them had become bait!
Bait to die for Chu Qian Li!
Feng Ling's heart turned to ashes, yet she remained unwilling to accept it.
She refused to believe that Feng Ye Xuan would treat her this way!
"Miss Feng, I will do my best to protect you." Leng Ji had no time for explanations.
He had already asked her to dismount and ride a horse, following the convoy. This way, she wouldn't be a primary target for attack.
But she refused! To put it bluntly, she was asking for it!
The path the Prince had arranged for her before he left, she insisted on believing it was the Prince bullying her.
The Prince had already left with Miss Chu. Leng Ji couldn't report the situation back to the Prince. To avoid suspicion, he could only go along with Feng Ling's wishes, to prevent any commotion that might alert the enemy that the Prince and Miss Chu had already departed.
"What do I need your protection for?" Feng Ling was so angry she could almost cry.
Feng Ye Xuan had foreseen the ambush, yet he had taken Chu Qian Li and left her here!
Why was he treating her like this? Why?
"Ye Xuan, are you really abandoning me?" Feng Ling truly wanted to weep.
But the increasingly palpable killing intent left her unable to cry.
She couldn't be used as bait and die here!
"Get away! I am not Chu Qian Li! They won't kill me!" She wanted to get out.
Leng Ji had intended to persuade her, but someone was more direct than him.
Xi Jiu waved his hand, and a surge of powerful inner force struck, pushing Feng Ling back as she was about to lift the curtain.
"You..."
"It wasn't me!" Leng Ji was truly innocent.
However, with Xi Jiu's intervention, it seemed he no longer needed to persuade her.
It was straightforward!
"Until the situation is clear, please remain inside the carriage and do not come out. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind acupuncturing you to test it."
Xi Jiu's voice carried a strong threat. If she dared to come out or scream, he would immediately seal her mouth!
Feng Ling gritted her teeth, clenching her fists, a mixture of anger and unease.
Her carriage had become the primary target.
She wished she could leave immediately.
But at this moment, enemies lurked in the shadows. If she went out, everyone would know that Feng Ye Xuan and Chu Qian Li were not present.
They would find a way to deal with Feng Ye Xuan and Chu Qian Li.
It was likely that Feng Ye Xuan, with Chu Qian Li, was following not far behind their convoy, observing the situation here.
Only by luring out all the enemies and clarifying the battle situation would Feng Ye Xuan make the most advantageous decision and avoid danger.
The God of War Prince, to protect the unconscious Chu Qian Li, had actually employed this stratagem of luring the enemy!
In the past, he would have disdained such tactics!
But now, he could not bear for Chu Qian Li to experience any danger.
Not even the slightest bit of danger did he want Chu Qian Li to face!
His heart held only that woman. Did he ever remember that she was the one in his heart?
What about her? She would be mistaken for Chu Qian Li and killed by the ambushers!
She did not want to be Chu Qian Li's scapegoat!
