Chapter 7: Hidden Arrow Injury

At this moment, Xie Ruzhuo felt a mix of emotions, unable to laugh or cry. The fighting power of this bear turned out to be so weak. She just inserted an arrow into its eye, and it fainted!

The assassin in the dark saw everything in front of him. He gritted his teeth in hatred. He had thought that the bear could kill Xiao Junxi, but unexpectedly, this woman appeared and now, this bear was also dealt with by this woman!

The assassin's eyes darkened. No! If Xiao Junxi is not dealt with today, the master will definitely be furious!

With this in mind, the assassin came up with a plan.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Junxi carefully helped Xie Ruzhuo up.

Xie Ruzhuo was thrown to the ground by the bear just now, and her ankle was hurting. It seemed to be twisted. Hearing Xiao Junxi's question, she frowned with a face covered in dirt and said in pain, "I'm not dead, just a little injured."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junxi smiled. His smile was as warm as sunshine, irresistible and capable of making people inadvertently fall for it.

At this moment, Xie Ruzhuo also couldn't help but be stunned. She knew that Xiao Junxi was a handsome man, a flawless and perfect one. Due to his physical condition, his skin was as flawless and pale as ancient jade, with a cold touch. His delicate features looked particularly distinct. However, such a handsome man usually wore a cold and indifferent expression. Unexpectedly, this smile was truly captivating.

Looking at Xie Ruzhuo's stunned expression, Xiao Junxi felt embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "Let's go back to the camp first, and then have the imperial physician check on you. As for what happened today..."

A cold light flashed in Xiao Junxi's eyes as he spoke to Xie Ruzhuo in front of him, "Don't tell anyone for now. I will handle it!"

"Okay," Xie Ruzhuo nodded upon hearing Xiao Junxi's words.

With Xie Ruzhuo's injured foot, Xiao Junxi didn't care about the boundaries between men and women. He carefully supported her to leave this place, and he believed that his men would find this place soon.

Xie Ruzhuo also gave up her reserved demeanor as a woman and allowed Xiao Junxi to support her as they left.

After walking a few steps, Xie Ruzhuo became alert. She had a sense that the danger had not passed!

"What's wrong? Is your foot hurting a lot?" Xiao Junxi looked at Xie Ruzhuo stopping and asked with concern.

Upon hearing Xiao Junxi's words, Xie Ruzhuo said in a low voice, "Let's hurry and leave!"

Thinking that Xie Ruzhuo might be traumatized by killing the bear just now, Xiao Junxi nodded and said, "Okay!"

Xiao Junxi supported Xie Ruzhuo and quickened their pace to leave. However, Xie Ruzhuo's strong sense of danger became increasingly intense. She subconsciously looked back and broke out in a cold sweat.

An ambush!

And this ambush had already reached them from behind, no, it should be said, it was aimed at Xiao Junxi!

"Be careful!" Xie Ruzhuo pushed Xiao Junxi away, but she couldn't avoid the ambush herself.

As Xie Ruzhuo fell to the ground unconscious with an arrow in her chest, she wanted to curse the heavens. What was the meaning of this? Was she really going to suffer before she died?

Xie Ruzhuo wanted to force a bitter smile, but she had no strength. Looking at Xiao Junxi, who was holding her anxiously, she thought of the deal Xiao Junxi made with Shen Jingci to save her earlier.

In her heart, she silently said, "I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for you. You must stay safe."

Just as Xie Ruzhuo fell unconscious, Shen Jingci arrived with a group of soldiers.

"Third Prince, I'm late!" a man in armor knelt and apologized to Xiao Junxi.

Xiao Junxi still held the unconscious Xie Ruzhuo, and when he saw the shocked Shen Jingci, his eyes were filled with frost. Who was this woman?

Although Xiao Junxi was puzzled, he still said coldly, "Capture the assassin for me. I want to see him alive or dead!"

"Yes!" The man stood up upon hearing Xiao Junxi's words and signaled the soldiers to immediately search for the assassin.

Xiao Junxi looked at the horse brought over by the soldiers. He looked down at the unconscious Xie Ruzhuo, but didn't say anything. He placed her on the horse, and then he got on the horse as well.

The onlookers were stunned. The Third Prince, who had always kept his distance from people, was actually riding on the same horse as a woman!
