    “Thank you…Ci Yan.” Yan Zhaozhao was still a little dazed and couldn’t recover. His eyes were blank and at a loss. He was obviously frightened.

    Xie Ciyan heard her weak cry and hurriedly hugged her off the horse. No longer caring whether anyone around would see the two of them doing such an intimate thing, which would expose their relationship, he panicked and took Yan Zhaozhao into his arms, his voice unable to conceal his anxiety.”I’m here, I’m here, it’s okay.” His palms caressed her back again and again, and those comforting words seemed not only to comfort her, but also to tell himself.”Don’t be afraid.”

    She was just on the line between life and death, and she was just a tiny bit away from falling into the underworld. Now, at the moment when she was held in Xie Ciyan’s arms, she felt that she was alive, and she was frightened for a while.She was holding his clothes tightly with both hands, her face was extremely pale, and she was biting her lower lip tightly. Her frightened eyes were full of mist, and she looked extremely aggrieved.

    I don’t know where the deadly arrow was shot from, and I don’t know if it was unintentional or intentional. This place is dangerous and I can’t stay any longer.Xie Ciyan wanted to carry Yan Zhaozhao to his horse, but was stopped by Yan Zhaozhao who came back to his senses.”No, if you and I ride back together on the same horse, we might be criticized.”

    Xie Yan thought about it for a moment, and then he listened to her words.With their current status, if they were to ride together on a horse with so many courtiers and ladies here, the saliva would probably drown her.He looked sharply at the place where the cold arrow was shot. There was nothing there, only a few leaves on the branches swaying slowly.

    This place is remote and desolate, with no human beings around, and it is not a gathering place for prey. How could this arrow be shot by mistake because it was aimed at the prey.Xie Ciyan never believed that there was such a coincidence in the world. If he hadn’t come here to look for her because he wanted to see her, if he had come a second later…

    His eyes moved to Yan Zhaozhao again, as if only by seeing her could his heart truly settle down.

    Yan Zhaozhao was still in shock, and his limbs were still a little limp and stiff. He was almost helped by Xie Ciyan to get on the horse, and she didn’t respond to ask him why he was here.

    She tightened her reins and took the lead, while Xie Ciyan rode behind to protect her. His sharp eyes like an eagle never relaxed their vigilance for a moment. They were always on guard, for fear of another cold arrow being shot from somewhere in the next second.

    There was a rustling sound coming from the grass about a person’s height nearby, as if something had broken the grass.Xie Ciyan’s heart suddenly rose, and he quickly rode his horse to Yan Zhaozhao’s side, but no matter how fast he was, he was still a step too slow.

    An extremely large giant tiger protruded from the grass, with black lines and brown skin crisscrossing each other. A pair of amber-yellow eyes were staring at them. It opened its mouth, and two rows of extremely sharp fangs were exposed. As if it had been hungry for a long time, it looked at the living two people and saliva dripped with saliva. A strong stench spread to the nostrils along with the downstream wind, and for a while, the stomach was churning.

    The two of them were shocked, and Xie Ciyan’s face was even more ugly.This is a hunting forest for women, how can there be tigers, and the person who committed the murder is even more cruel. This tiger has obviously not eaten for many days. Such a ferocious beast will be several times more ferocious than ordinary tigers, and its coveting for food will make it even more difficult to deal with. The person behind this is determined to have the two of them buried in the belly of this ferocious beast.

    “Zhaozhao, don’t be afraid, give me your hand.” Xie Ciyan’s voice was very soft, his eyes staring straight at the giant tiger’s every move without any panic, and his broad hand stretched out towards Yan Zhaozhao little by little.

    Yan Zhaozhao’s heart was beating like a drum, but she also knew that there was no time to be afraid of panic at this time. If she wanted to save her life, she couldn’t be afraid, and she had to stay calm.She kept forcing herself not to look at the tiger again, but the fear in her heart completely dominated her movements. She slowly stretched out her hand towards Xie Ciyan tremblingly, but her frightened eyes that exposed her emotions kept glancing in the direction of the ferocious beast uncontrollably, for fear that if she missed looking for a moment, the tiger would come in front of her and swallow her into its belly without leaving any bones.

    Just when Yan Zhaozhao’s trembling hand was about to touch his, the horse underneath him suddenly started, screamed to the sky, the sound was extremely shrill, and suddenly ran forward.Before the delicate hand could grasp Xie Ciyan’s hand tightly, it was staggered. He instinctively and subconsciously tightened the reins, trying to stop the mad horse that was running wildly without knowing where to go.

    Xie Ciyan’s heart sank, and a feeling of emptiness suddenly came over him. The moment he saw the horse startled, his brain seemed to be hit by something, and with a “buzz” sound, all the rationality and calmness had been fed to the dog’s belly.He pulled the reins as tight as possible, and the black horse under him felt pain and ran wildly in the direction of Yan Zhaozhao.

    When the tiger saw the prey in its mouth running away, it roared suddenly, slapped its huge fleshy palms to the ground one after another, and chased after the two of them. While chasing the hungry saliva, it continued to flow down, with the determination that it was bound to eat the two of them.

    The road ahead was unknown, and a tiger was chasing behind him. Yan Zhaozhao felt that his life might really end here today.The horse beneath her would not suddenly startle. The horse she was riding was personally selected by Bi Luo at the racecourse. It was the most docile and good horse and would never go crazy without any reason.The piles and piles in front of her all showed that someone wanted her life. They were exactly the same as Yan Bin’s methods at that time. They were ruthless and the terrain would make it impossible for her to get out of the forest.

    The horse ran faster and faster, and the branches that flashed by her turned into afterimages. The violent jolts made her feel like her internal organs were out of place. The palms of her hands holding the reins were bruised and bleeding, and the bright red and wet blood made her almost unable to hold on to the reins.Running at such a crazy speed, if she couldn’t catch her and fell, she would end up crippled even if she didn’t die.

    Under such circumstances, Yan Zhaozhao could only fight to the death.She clamped the horse’s belly with her legs, and when she saw the right moment, she suddenly released the reins. In an instant, she bent down and hugged the long horse’s neck tightly with her hands. She kicked the horse’s belly harder with her legs, trying to make the crazy horse regain its senses and stop.

    But it’s all in vain.

    Yan Zhaozhao suddenly felt a sense of despair in his heart, and his panic became even worse, and his face turned pale.

    “Zhaozhao!” Xie Ciyan’s anxious voice came vaguely in her ears. She wanted to turn back, but her limbs were already weak and stiff.”Zhaozhao! Give me your hand!”

    At some point, Xie Ciyan had already galloped his horse to her side at top speed. His brows and eyes were full of panic, and he kept pulling the whip in his hand hard to make the black horse under him run faster and faster.Yan Zhaozhao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the tiger was also running towards Xie Ciyan, roaring with a foul smell in its mouth as it ran.

    The person with peace of mind reached out to her within reach. Yan Zhaozhao did not hesitate, holding the horse’s neck with one hand and reaching out to him with the other tremblingly.

    This time, Xie Ciyan didn’t dare to waste even a second. When her hand was about to touch him, he risked turning sideways to catch her first.When his palm touched her cold wrist, he suddenly pulled the woman into his arms.

    He had no time to look at Yan Zhaozhao, so he could only lower his head slightly and tap his chin on the top of her hair to comfort her.”It’s okay, I’m here, don’t be afraid.”

    After such a thrilling encounter, Yan Zhaozhao could no longer maintain his composure.She was afraid that she would cry as soon as she opened her mouth and disturb Xie Ciyan, so she bit her lower lip tightly and did not let go even if it bled.The scar on her palm stung extremely, but she endured it and still held on to the reins tightly, fearing that she would take off Xie Ciyan’s hind legs and let him die innocently here.

    One wave just subsides, and another wave rises.

    The black horse under him had been running wildly for a long time. It was already exhausted and its speed gradually slowed down. The tiger that had been biting them behind did not slow down. At this time, it was already very close to them. As long as the giant tiger took two more steps forward, its sharp teeth could bite off a piece of Xie Ciyan’s flesh.

    Xie Ciyan looked ahead and saw a straight road that seemed to have no end.He picked up a bow and long arrow on the side of the horse, held the bow in his hand, and shot out at a gallop.The arrows were like thunderbolts, and the sharp arrows pierced the sky and shot straight into the tiger’s eyes.

    The tiger howled, an arrow stuck in its right eye, dripping with blood.But this move didn’t make it want to retreat. Instead, it was angered by Xie Ciyan. It chased them faster regardless of it, as if it couldn’t calm down its anger until it swallowed them whole.

    Royal hunters are only allowed to bring special bows and arrows into the forest, and their own sidearms are not allowed to be brought in.Riding on the horse, the only thing Xie Ciyan could use was the bow and arrow used for hunting. He drew out a long arrow again, drew the bow and aimed at the tiger’s other eye. As long as it was blind in both eyes, they would have a great chance of escaping from the tiger’s mouth.

    But after the tiger saw Xie Ciyan’s actions, he didn’t let him do what he wanted.It was furious and would not let him succeed again. It lay on the ground on all fours, its huge body arched back as if it were boneless, as if it was accumulating strength, and then suddenly jumped up, its sharp claws glowing with silver, coming straight towards them.

    Xie Ciyan’s heart trembled, and he whipped the whip hard. The black horse took a few steps forward in pain, but how could the horse, which was already exhausted, be able to compete with the crazed king of beasts?The sharp claws swung down, and the two people barely managed to escape, but the horse was injured by the sharp claws, and it suddenly lost its strength. It threw the two people on the horse wildly.

    But I never expected that the end of the road just now was actually a cliff.

    Xie Ciyan glanced at the extremely high cliff with his peripheral vision, and even his breathing stopped at that moment.He subconsciously held Yan Zhaozhao tightly in his arms, but his body still fell straight down irresistibly.

    The tiger chased it to the edge of the cliff and saw its two prey hugging each other and falling down.
