197 Chapter 197 Preparation

On the other end, Zhou Ying didnt think much and b.u.mped into Dr. Luo roughly when the horse galloped away; they were having a rough time in the carriage.

When they finally stabilized, Zhou Ying lifted the curtain and was about to scold Fang Qing, but she saw him trying to stabilize the carriage in a hurry. She was stunned and asked, Fang Qing, whats going on?

Mistress, I dont know which wicked fella threw a stone at the horses b.u.t.t, but it scared the horse. Fang Qing shouted while he was busy.

Zhou Ying was shocked. Although she didnt know what was wrong, she knew something wasnt right.

This was because even if someone accidentally threw a stone at the horse, the horse would not be this frightened. The only explanation was that the person had deliberately hurled the rock hard.

At the thought of this, she immediately thought of Gu Chengrui being hunted down a few days ago. Could it be that someone tricked her into coming out?

Fang Qing, when the horse stops, turn around and head back, she commanded.

Miss Zhou, whats the meaning of this? Why arent you going to save Chengrui? Doctor Luo turned his head and asked in astonishment.

Zhou Ying hesitated for a while but still told him her guess, Grandpa Luo, this trip is too dangerous. I will bring Chengrui back myself.

Doctor Luos heart ached when he heard this. Theres no need. Since were here, theres no reason to go back. Lets go together.

But

No buts. Its not safe for me to get off now anyway.

Zhou Ying saw the determination in his eyes, so she no longer refused. She took out a small box from under the seat, and inside it was the self-defense stuff she had prepared before in case of an accident. She didnt antic.i.p.ate actually using it one day.

She then took out two paper bags, one big and one small, and handed them to Doctor Luo. The big one is a tear-inducing powder, and the small one is a knockout powder. I have more of them, and its more important to protect ourselves.

After saying that, she also pa.s.sed two bags to Fang Qing and handed him a dagger. If theres anything, just yell. You dont have to save the chili powder; we have more.

Understood, Mistress. Dont worry. Fang Qing a.s.sured her after taking it.

To be honest, after listening to her a.n.a.lysis, he was more excited than afraid.

First, he could test his strength, and second, he could protect his mistress in return for her care. Most importantly, he may even become a dependable aide to her.

As for Zhou Ying herself, she took out a small, exquisite crossbow and a boning knife, which were placed at the bottom of the box. At the same time, she smeared some knockout powder on them.

She put two packets of chili powder in her pocket.

The rest were placed on the side of the cart door, and anyone who needed them could take them.

When they were ready, they arrived at a small forest.

No, it wasnt a forest, but a forest-like green belt by the river.

Fang Qing was on immediate alert. Two whistling sounds rang out just as they were about to leave the forest.

The horse immediately fell to the ground, and Fang Qing, who had been on guard, barely dodged it.

Two men in black quickly slid down the rope from a tree not far away. One rushed toward Fang Qing, while the other ran toward the car.

Mistress, be careful! Fang Qing exclaimed in shock.

After shouting, the two men came up to them.

The person charging at Fang Qing kicked him in the chest when he was in front of him.

Fang Qing immediately crossed his arms to block it, and at the same time, he kicked back at the mans waist.
