The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Moments later, the carriage swayed slightly, and then a dark figure suddenly shot out from beneath the carriage, standing firmly in front of them.
Although mentally prepared, Shang Ruyi still held her breath upon seeing that towering figure.
The firelight illuminated the person clearly. He was a burly man, even taller than Yu Wenye, with a face as dark as a pot bottom, hair and beard all tangled, clearly untrimmed for a long time, rendering his features and age indistinguishable. His body was covered with dirt and mud, almost like a beggar.
Yet even so, Shang Ruyi immediately noticed his eyes.
Those tiger eyes were bright and piercing, even brighter than the flames in front.
Just by seeing these eyes, it was clear this person was no ordinary man.
He stood before the two, despite the desperate situation, he was calm and even courteous as he raised a hand to them in greeting: "The two of you, Xiao Yuansui thanks you for rescuing me."
