He helped her put on her coat, wrapped her in the fur, and took her out the door. She was relieved to see that there was no one outside, except for a horse with its big, dark eyes staring at them.
He lifted her onto the horse and then mounted himself. As the horse rode to the edge of a deep ravine, the soldiers were already lined up and waiting.
The two former subordinates of the Duke stepped forward to pay their respects, and couldn't help but glance at the person in their son's arms. In that fleeting glimpse, they saw a head of silky black hair flowing down.
The two followed the Duke and General Zuo Wei into the mountain through the front gate of Baima Temple. Before the Imperial Guards guarding the mountain could move, the sounds of fighting came from the mountain gate. The Duke thought he had alerted the enemy, but it turned out that it was the guards and protectors of various mansions fighting with Ji Hong's men.
The Duke led the Imperial Guards ahead of time to storm the mountain. They found the mountain path in chaos, with families scattered like birds and beasts. Unexpectedly, a large force of soldiers from the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion, who had been hiding in the back mountain, also poured out from the temple. The Imperial Guards had to fight the enemy while also protecting the families of the various households, especially the Duke's family, which was quite exhausting.
After the rebels were killed, wounded, and routed, fleeing down the mountain to be caught in General Zuo Wei's net, the Duke and his family re-entered the mountain temple. There they encountered the Imperial Guards, led by the Heir Apparent, who had entered the temple from the back of the mountain. Learning that they were on the Heir Apparent's orders to search and clear out the White Horse Temple, the family members were relieved. Having nowhere else to go, they gathered together in the Huayan Pavilion, which was filled with people both inside and outside.
Before the temple search was completed, someone came from the back mountain to report that Ji Hong had been captured and that the young prince had fallen into a ravine while trying to save the hostages.
Upon hearing this, the old lady sat up in shock, while Lady Qin, the Duchess of the State, had already fainted.
Qi Shixiang returned to Huayan Pavilion and overheard this. Unlike his mother, he knew his elder brother's skills and figured he wouldn't be easily harmed. Upon hearing that it was about rescuing a hostage, he blurted out in a flash, "Who is that hostage?"
The man reported, "Third Young Master, Ji Hong kept calling you 'Third Young Master' and mistook you for him. He kidnapped Miss An Ruying, and you chased after him alone."
Upon hearing this, everyone had different thoughts.
Qi Shangxiu knew that this was a relative of An Yuan from the second branch of the family. His eldest son had even personally brought up the marriage with him because of her. According to his usual temperament, such a major marriage matter should have been handled by him and Qin Shi. Unexpectedly, after he brought it up with him, he became determined to marry her. Now, in order to save that young lady, he fell into the ravine.
Qi Shixiang felt relieved upon hearing this.
Having just settled his grandmother, he hurriedly went to the cave behind Chanyin Rock to look for Ruying, only to find that the cave entrance was already guarded by imperial guards, and several men were carrying away corpses.
He rushed into the Buddha statue, but when he got behind the statue of Master Chanyin, he found it empty. He grabbed a man and asked him what had happened, but the man had come up the mountain later and didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't answer.
Hearing that his elder brother had gone to rescue Ruying was the best possible outcome; Ruying wouldn't fall into enemy hands, her fate unknown. However, he and she had only just reconciled tonight, and he had originally planned to slowly arrange their future. He still needed to discuss this matter with his elder brother, but Qi Shixiang was currently hesitant. He had initially thought his elder brother was only taking responsibility for her reputation and innocence, but what was the reason now? His elder brother had fallen into the ravine for her; was that also due to taking responsibility? Although his elder brother said he wanted to marry her, their parents hadn't agreed.
He thought of An Ruying's appearance; how many people wouldn't like her? The young master of the Cen family was completely captivated by her, and even he himself had fallen for her charms. He also thought that his elder brother was no ordinary person and would certainly not be bewitched by An Ruying. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. Once the Duke sent men to search the area down the mountain, he would go as well.
Qi Shangxiu asked, "What instructions did your elder brother give you before he left?"
Qi Shixiang felt ashamed when he thought of his elder brother taking Wu Jia away and asking him to take good care of his grandmother and family. He went over to stay by the side of the old lady and Qin Shi.
