Xu Jing heard this and finally felt at ease.
Xiao Yi suddenly looked at her again and said softly, "Come here."
Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at him, not knowing what he wanted to do, but still took a step forward as he instructed.
She had just steadied herself when Xiao Yi suddenly picked her up. Amidst Xu Jing's slight gasp, he gently placed her onto his horse's back, then mounted the horse himself. Holding the reins with one hand, he naturally wrapped the other arm around her waist, turned to the onlookers who were dumbfounded, and said, "Let's go to the post station ahead."
With that, he flicked the whip and rode out, leading the way.
Zhao Jingming was perhaps the calmest among those present, muttering, "This guy, whenever he sees Jing, he just acts all weird, not even afraid of the lingering Jiang Family members ahead..."
As he spoke, he also mounted his horse, closely following behind Xiao Yi and Xu Jing.
Mr. Yao beside him: "..."
