Chapter 181 Rescuing Gou Chunmei
The leader had a gloomy face, his eyes were as cold and ruthless as ice, staring at Gou Chunmei.
He spoke coldly, "Miss Gou, don't think that just because you're the Empress's cousin, I won't do anything to you! If you don't explain why you're running away today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Gou Chunmei was so frightened that she was trembling all over, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were trembling constantly.
She said in a trembling voice, "This training is really too hard. How can I, a rich lady, endure such hardship?"
She thought to herself that she must not tell anyone what she had just overheard.
After all, it is normal for a rich girl like her to be unable to endure such hardships.
The leader stared at Gou Chunmei with his sharp eyes, revealing a chilling murderous intent, as if he was going to take her life at the next moment.
He shouted coldly: "Come back with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the leader raised his hand without hesitation, as if to attack Gou Chunmei.
At the critical moment, Gou Chunmei suddenly remembered the jade pendant her mother had given her.
She hurriedly reached into her bosom and took out the jade pendant, held it tightly in her hand, and then smashed it to the ground with all her strength.
There was a crisp "bang" sound, and the jade pendant shattered instantly. Gou Chunmei immediately held her breath.
Immediately afterwards, the people who had surrounded Gou Chunmei fell to the ground one after another.
Seeing this, Gou Chunmei didn't have time to think about it. She turned around and ran as fast as she could.
As she ran, she gasped for breath, her heart beating so fast that it almost burst through her chest.
With the faint moonlight, she ran forward desperately.
She didn't know how long she ran, until the sky turned pale and she finally saw a wide road appear in front of her.
Gou Chunmei didn't dare to stop for a moment and continued to run along the road.
She knew very well that this was not a safe place and she had to escape from this dangerous and terrifying place as soon as possible.
In this way, she dragged her exhausted body, staggering but determined as she walked forward.
However, at this moment, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded through the sky.
Gou Chunmei's heart tightened. She looked back and saw the leader leading a group of people chasing after her.
Gou Chunmei was frightened out of her wits. Her originally pretty face instantly lost its color and turned as pale as paper.
She opened her mouth in terror and screamed at the top of her lungs: "Help! Help..."
The sharp and shrill cry resounded through the sky, as if penetrating the entire wilderness.
Her eyes darted around frantically, and she finally caught a glimpse of a horse coming from afar.
The desire to survive prompted her to use all her strength and run desperately towards the horse.
"Help, help, please save me..." Gou Chunmei cried and shouted as she ran, her voice trembling with extreme fear.
However, the people in the carriage seemed to turn a deaf ear to her cries for help and continued to move forward.
Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from the carriage, Gou Chunmei became extremely anxious, and her face became as pale as a dead person.
At this moment, the group of villains led by the leader had surrounded her.
This time, there was no hesitation on the leader's face. He looked ferocious and raised the whip in his hand mercilessly, and lashed Gou Chunmei fiercely.
There was a crisp "snap" sound, and the whip fell mercilessly on Gou Chunmei's delicate skin, leaving a shocking blood mark.
She was twitching in pain and couldn't help but let out miserable screams.
Each whipping was like a sharp blade, cutting deeply into her flesh, making her feel the approach of death for the first time.
"Mother, mother, come and save me..." Gou Chunmei cried in despair, tears and blood mixed together and flowed down her cheeks.
At this moment, her body was covered with crisscrossing bloodstains, and her clothes were stained red with blood. She looked horrible.
Just when Gou Chunmei thought she had no chance of survival and was about to fall into despair, the man on horseback who had just galloped past her actually came back.
Seeing the horse galloping towards them, the leader and others unconsciously moved to the sides to make way for the horse.
Who would have thought that at this critical moment, the horse galloped past.
The man on horseback looked heroic. His left hand controlled the reins steadily, and his right hand stretched out as quickly as lightning.
He accurately grabbed the wounded Gou Chunmei and with a little effort he pulled her lightly onto the horse's back.
With a crisp sound of a whip that resounded through the sky, the horse galloped out and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
The leader and his subordinates were left looking at each other in bewilderment. It took them a long time to come back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.
They looked at the receding figure, and without hesitation, they all mounted their horses and galloped forward, raising a cloud of dust.
Gou Chunmei leaned on the man's back and asked weakly, "Thank you for saving me!"
The man didn't say anything, and Gou Chunmei also stopped talking, just tightly grasping the corner of the man's clothes.
The horse ran for a long time, finally slowed down and stopped in a small town.
After dismounting with great agility, the man took Gou Chunmei to an inn in the town center and rented two adjacent rooms.
After entering the room, he took out a healing medicine from his bag, handed it to Gou Chunmei, and told her to take it on time.
Gou Chunmei gratefully took the medicine and swallowed it. Not long after, the originally hideous wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at her rapidly healing wounds, Gou Chunmei was filled with joy, but at the same time she couldn't help but feel worried.
She raised her head and her eyes fell on the bearded middle-aged man in front of her. The man was Zhao Haoxuan!
Gou Chunmei said worriedly, "My benefactor, those who are chasing me won't let me go easily. What should I do next?"
Zhao Haoxuan replied, "Don't worry, young lady. This place is secluded and safe for now. Just rest peacefully tonight. However, I have important matters to attend to early tomorrow morning, so I have to leave first."
When Gou Chunmei heard this, she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
She wondered to herself, if he just left and those people came looking for her, what would she do?
Thinking of this, Gou Chunmei felt a chill rising from her spine and her whole body trembled slightly.
She bit her lower lip lightly, her voice already slightly tearful, her eyes gradually moistening: "My benefactor, I am truly terrified. Could you please stay a few more days? I'm really scared..."
Zhao Haoxuan frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Miss, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have something important to attend to."
A look of determination suddenly flashed across Gou Chunmei's eyes, and she cried out in a pleading voice, "Benefactor, please..."
As soon as she finished speaking, an idea flashed through Gou Chunmei's mind, and the moment Zhao Haoxuan looked into her eyes, she instantly used her best charm technique.
