Hearing the gunshot, Jiang Xue’s face changed, and she no longer hurried to leave. Instead, she found a place to hide, wanting to see what was really happening.
She had just hidden not long when the gunshots grew closer, and a figure ca stumbling from the mountain.
When the figure got closer, Jiang Xue could see it was an injured young man, about twenty-five years old. From his attire, he seed like a wealthy person.
However, for a wealthy person to co to this deep mountain was quite suspicious. Jiang Xue looked at the man who was almost too exhausted to run and then at the approaching gunn, deciding it was better not to ddle lest she got herself involved.
Unexpectedly, the man who should have been running forward suddenly ran towards where she was hiding.
Seeing him run towards her, Jiang Xue’s face changed, realizing it was too late to leave, so she hurriedly hid in a space temporarily.
Jiang Xue took the items she had with her into the space, and soon the man arrived at her hiding place.
The place was a small cave, which was hard to find unless one looked carefully. Jiang Xue only knew about it because Little Fox had told her when she passed by.
But she didn’t know how the young man had discovered it.
Nangong Chen entered the cave, a flicker of suspicion in his gaze. When he was running this way, he clearly felt a pair of eyes watching him, so why wasn’t there anyone now?
However, the current situation did not allow him to think much. Those gunn were already closer. So, he crouched down and quietly watched the gunn outside.
Soon after he had hidden, the gunn arrived. They looked around and, not finding any sign of Nangong Chen, their faces changed slightly and asked, "Where is he?"
"He probably hid; we need to search thoroughly. The Second Young Master said if we don’t complete this mission, the only outco for us is death."
After the leader finished speaking, the others replied in unison, "Understood!"
They then began to search everywhere. They expanded their search area bit by bit, getting closer to Nangong Chen’s hiding place.
As the gunn got closer and closer, Nangong Chen couldn’t help but get nervous, holding his breath. He couldn’t let them find him, or it would be the end for him.
Hearing what those people said just now, it seed it was the second master who sought them out. Oh, very well. Even the second elder wanted to sche against him, so it seed the position of the Nangong Family’s Young Master was indeed enticing.
Nangong Chen carefully watched the approaching gunn and thought of ways to escape if he was discovered.
Five ters, four ters, three ters, two ters—seeing them just one ter away and about to discover the cave and him, Nangong Chen was ready to fight back.
At that mont, he already held a few stones in his hand.
But just then, a shout reached the ears of Nangong Chen and the gunn.
"Jiang Xue!"
"Sister-in-law!"
A series of shouts reached the gunn’s ears, changing their expressions as they looked towards the direction of the shout.
When they saw the newcors dressed in green military uniforms, they dared not stay any longer and turned to run back in the direction they ca from.
As the enemy fled, Nangong Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Once he relaxed, he passed out imdiately.
At this ti, Little Fox in the space had already heard Mu Qiancheng and the warriors’ shouts and said to Jiang Xue, "Woman, your man and his soldiers have co to find you."
