Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1061: The Captivity
In the carriage, Lin Jinyan held Bai Zhi's hand, seemingly closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, but in fact her mind was in a mess:
If she hadn't intended to bring Bai Zhi and Feng Xiaoran together, and had let Feng Xiaoran take Bai Zhi away, Bai Zhi wouldn't have been in danger. How should she comfort Bai Zhi after something like this happened...

Not only Lin Jinyan, everyone in the carriages was full of thoughts.

Except for Gu Ruizhou who was following the carriage, no one knew that Bai Zhi had been abducted. They only thought that the scratches on Bai Zhi's face were caused by an accidental fall, as Lin Jinyan said.
-
Return to the mansion.

Lin Jinyan went back to Yan Yuxuan first, asked Hong Jiu to accompany Bai Zhi, took Yutong and Manou to Songmao Hall, and had dinner with the old lady together with Lin Wanrong.

I told the old lady that I got a very good fortune when praying for Lin Jinyun, and I coaxed the old lady into eating half a bowl of rice.

After leaving Songmao Hall, Lin Jinyan lost the smiling look in front of the old lady and walked back to Yan Yuxuan with heavy steps.

The attentive Agate noticed that Lin Jinyan was not as cheerful as usual. She thought that Lin Jinyan was sad for those guards who died in vain. Her eyes were filled with heartache. She gently said that the banquet was already prepared. She asked Zhou Momo and Gu Momo to go to the front hall and keep an eye on it so that Lin Jinyan could have a good rest.

Lin Jinyan thanked him and took Yutong back to Yan Yuxuan. She had thought of various excuses along the way, but when she saw Baizhi, she found herself unable to speak.

Bai Zhi, who had been waiting for a while, did not notice that Lin Jinyan was embarrassed to speak, and hinted to Lin Jinyan to send Yutong away before whispering:
"Miss, I seem to have been kidnapped by Guo Hao who is with the young prince."

Lin Jinyan's words of comfort were still stuck in her throat, and she turned into surprise after hearing this:
"Little prince?"

Bai Zhi saw Hong Jiu standing guard at the door and told him about how he was kidnapped today.

Bai Zhi was picking flowers at the time and was knocked unconscious without any preparation. When she woke up, she found herself being carried on the shoulders of a man in black, walking quickly through the dense forest.

The man in black was surprised to find Bai Zhi awake and was about to knock her out again. In a panic, Bai Zhi sprinkled powder on the man in black, but most of it was avoided by the man in black, which only slowed down his movements but did not knock him out.

Bai Zhi did not dare to get entangled and fled in a hurry, looking back while running. She did not notice the branches in front of her, fell and rolled towards the cliff.

Fortunately, he grabbed a branch on the edge of the cliff and saved his life temporarily.

Just as the man in black reached the edge of the cliff, Feng Xiaoran, who was looking for someone, also chased over. He attacked fiercely and tried to quickly subdue the man in black and pull Bai Zhi up.

Unexpectedly, just as she started fighting with the man in black, something unexpected happened. The tree branch could not bear Baizhi's gravity, and the roots were slowly pulled out. Baizhi screamed and fell off the cliff.

In a hurry, Feng Xiaoran forced the man in black to retreat, quickly untied his belt, entangled the falling Bai Zhi, and was dragged to the bottom of the cliff. The soil on the cliff was thin, and there were no thick branches to leverage. The branch that Feng Xiaoran grabbed could not bear the weight of the two of them, and after it broke, the two fell straight down.

Feng Xiaoran held Bai Zhi in his arms, grabbing branches or vines along the way to relieve the force. Although they could only pause for a moment before falling again, they at least lowered their height before falling into the lake, saving both lives.

Feng Xiaoran dragged Bai Zhi ashore. After they spit out the water, they lay on the shore gasping for breath.

When I saw Bai Zhi shivering, her outer shirt was torn and naked, and the wet clothes were clinging to her body, completely exposing her curves.

Feng Xiaoran immediately took off his coat and handed it to Bai Zhi to wear. He then used his internal energy to dry Bai Zhi's clothes a little, spat out a mouthful of blood, and completely collapsed to the ground.
