Chapter 142: Perfect Timing
However, her relief was short-lived as another arrow mercilessly pierced her other arm, causing her facial features to twist in severe pain.
Maybe it really is “okay” for him, because she has become his living shield at this moment!
Su Rao couldn't help but imagine the miserable scene of herself being pierced by an arrow, like a hedgehog.
At the critical moment of life and death, Fang Mo took her and quickly hid in a dim room, then threw her to the ground without any gentleness. His action was so rough that Su Rao almost doubted whether she was involved in another crisis again.
"This... where is this place?" Su Rao asked strugglingly, with a bit of confusion in her voice.
"Liang Mansion." Fang Mo answered briefly with an affirmative tone.
They are still inside the Liang Mansion?
Could the sudden attack just now have been carried out by someone from the Liang Mansion?
"There are enemies in front and behind, what should we do?" Su Rao whispered anxiously.
Only then did she realize that there was also a crisis lurking ahead. No wonder Fang Mo chose to hide. Now they were in a desperate situation with enemies attacking from all sides.
Could it be that they can only sit and wait for death?
A faint light shone through the crack in the door. With this light, Su Rao vaguely saw Madam Wang and Madam Huo leading a group of aggressive followers approaching step by step.
Fang Mo remained silent, and the two men's eyes met.
Su Rao stared at Fang Mo's face covered in shadow, feeling mixed emotions: "Are you regretting saving me now?"
Fang Mo remained silent, but his tense face seemed to be saying silently: "Yes, I regret it."
Su Rao smiled bitterly in her heart and was speechless.
"Don't worry, even if something happens to me, I will drag you down with me." Su Rao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
The reason why she did not give Fang Mo up was precisely because of this consideration, forcing Fang Mo to consider his own safety to rescue her.
If it really comes to a life-and-death situation, she will not sit and wait for death. She will always try to leave clues so that Fang Mo cannot escape unscathed.
Thinking of this, the look of regret on Fang Mo's face seemed to disappear in a flash.
"What should we do now? Just wait to die here?" Su Rao frowned. She was unwilling to accept this unclear ending.
She had endured the pain of being whipped, and had no chance to seek justice from Mrs. Wang.
Fang Mo suddenly took a step forward, as if preparing to leave.
Su Rao quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Are you planning to abandon me?"
Fang Mo was grabbed by her, his brows knitted tightly together: "I'll go out to distract them, and you can escape while the chaos is going on."
When Su Rao heard this, she immediately let go of her hand: "Then be careful."
Fang Mo did not respond, but turned around silently.
"Wait." Su Rao called him again.
Fang Mo turned his head, and a hint of anticipation unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
"If... I mean just in case, something happens to you, I will take good care of Fang Yuan." Su Rao promised seriously.
A complex emotion flashed across Fang Mo's face, but he said nothing.
At this moment, Mrs. Huo's two armies outside the door gathered together and rushed straight to their hiding place.
Fang Mo stretched out his body, rushed out of the room, and fought fiercely with the group of people.
Su Rao peeked through the crack in the door. In the night, Fang Mo's figure was like a ghost, shuttling between the guards of the Liang Mansion, and every time he attacked, his figure fell down.
However, the number of guards in the Liang Mansion was huge, and they rushed towards Fang Mo like a tide, and the situation was precarious.
Su Rao observed, and the hope of escape seemed to be getting slimmer and slimmer...
What's worse is that after a group of guards fell, new forces joined the battlefield - Jinyiwei wearing flying feather uniforms and holding embroidered spring swords that gleamed with cold light!
The skills of these Jinyiwei were far superior to those of the Liang Mansion guards, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for Fang Mo.
Outside the door, although Fang Mo's movements were as fast as a ghost, there were also many masters among the opponents. Fang Mo was very comfortable in a one-on-one fight, but facing so many opponents, he was accidentally cut on the arm by a knife.
This injury made Fang Mo, who was already exhausted, even more passive.
At the critical moment when a Jinyiwei's blade was pointing directly at Fang Mo's chest, the two men looked at each other and the other party suddenly stopped attacking.
"May……"
Although Fang Mo was masked, the brief eye contact seemed to touch a nerve in the other party.
Taking advantage of the opponent's moment of distraction, Fang Mo cleverly avoided the fatal blow and once again plunged into the fierce battle with the Jinyiwei.
Su Rao looked at the figure that was stained with blood, and panic and worry surged in her heart like a tide. If this continued, she and Fang Mo would face desperate situations.
At this critical moment, Su Rao decided to go all out. She peeked at the chaos outside, made up her mind, rushed out of the door, and ran in one direction.
"That bitch ran away, chase her!" A sharp shout broke the silence of the night sky.
Soon, several Jinyiwei chased after Su Rao, and their swords and knives drew cold rays of light in the air.
Su Rao gritted her teeth and dodged left and right, but eventually she ran out of strength and fell to the ground.
Just as the silver blade was about to chop down, a flying knife suddenly appeared and knocked down the fatal blow.
Su Rao escaped death and gasped for breath. She turned back suddenly and found herself approaching the gate. At the gate, standing there were the eldest princess and her sister!
Next to the eldest princess was a tall and mighty guard, and the flying knife came from his hand!
Su Yi looked at Su Rao, who was covered in scars, his eyes reddened and he almost cried.
Fortunately, they arrived in time.
If it had been a moment later, the consequences would have been disastrous!
About half an hour ago.
The eldest princess proposed to find a foolproof plan. The two discussed face to face for a long time, but they still could not find a perfect solution.
"Your Highness, if we keep delaying like this, I'm afraid Su Rao won't be able to wait any longer." Su Yi said worriedly.
The princess's face darkened when she heard this, and she slammed her palm on the table...
I don't care about that. Let's just go straight in. Even if I get a reputation for being tyrannical, I want to see what Madam Huo can do to me! "The princess' eyes were firm.
The two women then counted their followers and held their breath.
Suddenly, they worked together to break open the heavy and intricately carved door of the Liang Mansion. Wood chips flew, dust rose, and the door hinges made a dull protest sound, shaking the tranquility of the ancient house.
Coincidentally, this encounter seemed like a clever arrangement of fate.
Su Rao just escaped with amazing perseverance, but was nearly captured and killed by the Jinyiwei who were dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes and had cold eyes.
Her appearance was so precise in timing that it seemed as if it was deliberately arranged by God.
The princess's men quickly moved forward. They were well-trained and agile, forming a circle and tightly protecting Su Rao in the center, forming an indestructible human wall.
Their figures were elongated in the sunlight, making them look particularly reliable.
"Madam Huo, Madam Wang, not only did you imprison Prince Yi's concubine, but you also tortured her to this extent. What is your intention?" The princess' voice was clear and powerful, every word was loud and clear, and she asked sternly.
