Fu Zheng also stopped and listened carefully to the commotion not far away. He seemed to hear a voice calling out for Ling.
“Quick! Let’s head towards the sound.”
“Mm-hmm!”
“Father, Father! I’m here, Father.”
Ling opened her mouth and responded to the shouting.
Fu Zheng quickly covered Ling’s mouth when he heard that.
Ling looked at him with a baffled expression. She did not understand why he did that.
Fu Zheng lowered his voice and said, “Don’t shout yet. What if you lead the bad guys to our location?”
Ling covered her tiny mouth foolishly.
The two of them continued to walk forward, but before long, two figures walked out of the forest and blocked their way.
Fu Zheng immediately stood in front of Ling warily when he saw them.
“Who are you?”
The two figures exchanged looks with each other.
“Young Princess, so you’re here. His Highness and the others have been looking for you for a long time. Come with us quickly.”
“That’s right, Young Princess. His Highness is just ahead. We’ll take you to him now.”
As the two of them spoke, they quickly approached the children.
Fu Zheng realized that something was wrong and quickly pushed Ling to the side. “Ling, run!”
After saying that, he pounced on the two people.
The two of them were caught off guard as Fu Zheng crashed into them. They groaned in pain.
However, Ling did not run. Instead, she rushed forward and pressed the button on her shock wave bracelet.
Bang! One of the figures was sent flying.
“I’m not afraid of you bad guys!” Ling grabbed the stone on the ground and smashed it at the other person’s foot.
“Argh!”
The man cried out in pain.
Fu Zheng took the opportunity to use his shoulder to ram into that guy’s stomach.
“Father! Mother…” Ling opened her mouth and shouted.
Xiao Jin, who was not far away, suddenly stopped and listened attentively to the voice not far away.
“Father…”
Xiao Jin’s eyes widened. After ascertaining the direction of the sound, he quickly dashed in that direction.
However, by the time he reached the spot where Ling and Fu Zheng were, there was no one there. There were only two men lying on the ground moaning.
“Spare me…Spare me…”
Xiao Jin pulled one guy up from the ground. “Where are they? Where are they?”
The man trembled and said, “I… I don’t know… don’t know… Argh!”
Xiao Jin tossed the man aside and quickly checked his surroundings. He found Ling’s shoe on the western side.
“Damn it!”
Xiao Jin sprang up and followed the faint footprints left behind by the other party in hot pursuit.
He pursued all the way up the mountain. Halfway up the mountain on the edge of a cliff, a red figure came into view. He wore a demonic mask and held a child in each hand. He lifted the children up. The moment he let go, the two children would drop down the mountain.
“Father, Father, save me! Father…” Ling shouted for help when she saw Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin’s eyes narrowed as he looked at that person icily. “What do you want?”
“Our Red Demon Sect simply accepts payment from people to help them resolve their trouble. The other party is paying us to take Prince Qi’s life.” The man in red, Chu Mo, kicked the dagger to Xiao Jin’s feet.
“If Your Highness ends your own life with this dagger, I’ll release them.”
Fu Zheng struggled and shouted, “No, you mustn’t… Your Highness, don’t… don’t mind me… I… I’m not afraid… You… you save… save Ling… save Sister Ling…”
“Father, don’t do it. 1 don’t want Father to get hurt…”
Xiao Jin bent down and picked up the dagger. Without hesitation, he stabbed his own shoulder. Bright red blood flowed down along the blade of the icy dagger. Chu Mo seemed to be greatly hyped up, and his eyes turned bloodshot with excitement.
Xiao Jin frowned. “Release one child first.”
Chu Mo gave a sneer and threw Fu Zheng over.
Xiao Jin darted forward and grabbed hold of Fu Zheng. Before Chu Mo could react, Xiao Jin quickly put Fu Zheng down and injected a tremendous amount of internal energy into the dagger in his hand before stabbing it at Chu Mo.
Chu Mo’s eyes widened and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes. He turned around and threw Ling down the mountain.
In a moment of panic, Xiao Jin lunged forward and managed to grab Ling’s foot.
Chu Mo burst out laughing when he saw that. “Who would have thought that the mighty Prince Qi would fall into my hands one day?”
Chu Mo pulled out his sword at his waist and stabbed Xiao Jin. Xiao Jin hung onto Ling’s foot tightly and could not dodge in time. The sword stabbed his other shoulder.
Just as Chu Mo pulled out his steely sword and was about to stab again, Xiao Jin pulled Ling into his arms and kicked Chu Mo in the chest!
“Oof!”
Chu Mo felt resentful and quickly stepped forward to continue to attack, but he saw someone coming his way.
“Xiao Jin!”
Su Ying shouted as she rushed over.
Chu Mo saw that the situation was not advantageous to himself and turned to flee.
By the time Su Ying arrived, Chu Mo had already disappeared into the forest. She did not go after him but ran to Xiao Jin instead. Her expression was extremely unpleasant when she saw him covered in blood.
“Mother…” Ling burst into tears loudly when she saw Su Ying.
As Su Ying took Ling from Xiao Jin’s arms, her heart was almost breaking. “Ling, don’t cry. Mother is here. How are you? Are you hurt?”
Ling shook her head. “I am not hurt. It’s Father. Father is hurt. Sob, sob, sob…”
Su Ying squatted down with Ling in her arms to check on Xiao Jin’s condition.
“How are you feeling?” Xiao Jin’s face was already a little pale because of the excessive blood loss.
Su Ying pulled out a few strips of cloth from her robe and quickly bandaged Xiao Jin’s wounds to stop the bleeding.
The moment Xiao Jin saw Su Ying, he let out a breath of relief. “I’m fine.”
After putting Ling down, Su Ying took out a pill and fed it to Xiao Jin. “Let’s go down the mountain first.”
The Imperial Guards also caught up. Su Ying instructed them to use tree branches to make a stretcher to carry Xiao Jin down the mountain while she carried the two children.
At the foot of the mountain, Duke Zhenguo had already rushed over.
For the past two days, he had focused all his attention on looking for Ling. He also noticed that Fu Zheng was missing, but he assumed that he had gone with Su Ying to look for Ling. It was only after Xiao Jin had sent someone to tell him that Fu Zheng had also been kidnapped that Duke Zhenguo had rushed here anxiously.
Duke Zhenguo’s expression changed drastically when he saw Xiao Jin being carried down. “What happened to His Highness?”
Su Ying said, “He was stabbed twice. Take him to the horse carriage first. 1 want to give him medical treatment.”
Duke Zhenguo nodded and took the children from her hands.
Su Ying brought Xiao Jin into the horse carriage.
Due to excessive blood loss, he had lost consciousness.
Su Ying blindfolded him with a piece of cloth, then closed the carriage door. After that, she brought him into her interspatial store to give him treatment.
The two knife wounds on Xiao Jin’s body were very deep. Su Ying didn’t know who his opponent was to be able to hurt him to such an extent. Fortunately, he wasn’t hit in the critical areas. As long as she stopped the bleeding and sutured the wounds, Xiao Jin’s injuries wouldn’t be a problem.
However, in order to help him recover as soon as possible, Su Ying still gave him a blood transfusion.
After the blood transfusion, Xiao Jin’s complexion looked better. Only then did she bring him out.
Su Ying pushed open the carriage door and jumped out..
