Kong Ming shook his head, indicating for her not to say a word. He pointed outside, gesturing at someone being out there.

Bao Yu understood what he was trying to tell her and nodded. She turned her head to the other side and checked on Yaoyao.

When she realized Yaoyao was drugged with coma-inducing medicine and was not really hurt, she was relieved.

She looked at Kong Ming, asking him with her eyes about what they should do next.

Kong Ming gave this some thought and leaned in close to her ear, saying in a low voice, “I’ll try to stall them in a while. Take the princess and escape.”

Bao Yu’s eyes widened as she looked at him in shock. She shook her head. “I can’t do that. You have no martial arts skills…”

Kong Ming patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

“But…”

Kong Ming’s eyes darkened and his voice got a little deeper. “Just listen to me.”

Bao Yu was taken aback.

This was a side of Kong Ming she had never seen.

Even though he had grown slightly taller from the time she met him, he was still not as tall as she was. Kong Ming had always felt to her like a younger brother that needed protecting, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed that the young man in front of her was not as weak as she thought he was.

His tone was firm and it made her feel like he was capable of anything.

For some strange reason, she actually nodded her head in agreement.

“Help the princess up,” Kong Ming instructed.

Bao Yu helped up the unconscious Yaoyao was told.

What she saw next made Bao Yu’s eyes widen in astonishment.

Kong Ming lifted his palm upward suddenly as he aimed at the roof of the carriage.

Bam!

There was a huge boom—the carriage roof was shattered.

Kong Ming said in a low growl, “Leave, now!”

Bao Yu clenched her teeth and flew off through the broken roof while taking Yaoyao with her. She did not forget to call out after him, “Kong Ming, take care of yourself!”

The racing carriage stopped at almost the same time. When Wanyan Jin pulled open the blinds of the carriage, a wave of vital energy was sent toward him.

Everything happened too suddenly. Even though Wanyan Jin reacted swiftly, he was still hit on the shoulder by the vital energy.

The shock traveled through him and he felt a throbbing pain.

If his attacker had been stronger, he would have fallen off the carriage from the speed of this attack.

“You bald donkey!” Bada was enraged. He pulled out a wandao from under his seat and swung it at Kong Ming.

Kong Ming bent backward and managed to avoid the attack.

He knew that he was no match for these men, so he distracted them with an attack. Before they realized what had happened, he pointed his toes downward and flew out through the broken carriage roof.

“That boy…” Bada was shocked. He wanted to ask how that boy managed to overcome the sealed pressure point.

“Hurry up and get him!” Wanyan Jin was shocked and furious.

He had never thought his plans would be foiled at the hands of a child.

Bada snapped out of it and pulled at the reins to turn the horse around. He gave chase in the direction Kong Ming escaped to.

Bao Yu did not run far with Yaoyao on her back. It was not long before Kong Ming caught up to her.

“Kong Ming!” Bao Yu called out in delight when she saw him.

Kong Ming nodded at her. He wanted to help her carry Bao Yu when he saw how tired she was with the princess on her back, but considering that the princess was a lady, he decided to drop the idea.

“We need to hurry. They’re about to catch up,” he said urgently.

“Alright.” Bao Yu went on high alert as she nodded.

They had only run for a short distance when Wanyan Jin and Bada caught up to them.

“Put down the little princess and we’ll spare your lives!” Wanyan Jin glanced at Yaoyao, who was unconscious on Bao Yu’s back. His voice was calm as he spoke.

“You’ve got the wrong person. She’s not a princess,” Bao Yu frowned as she said this, pretending to be puzzled while keeping up her guard.

“There’s no use denying it, little girl. I found out earlier that she’s the second princess of Great Shang, Long Yinyao. Be good and hand her over to me, and I promise I won’t hold it against you. I’ll even let you go,” Wanyan Jin said in a low voice while darting a look at Bada.
