Hua Manman's heart couldn't help but race.
Watching him draw closer and closer, she desperately wanted to jump out of the carriage and rush toward him.
But her hands were tied behind her back. Unable to jump, she could only strain her voice and shout at him.
She had originally intended to call out "Regent Prince."
But what slipped out was—
"Ji!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Ji immediately looked toward the sound.
He saw the five hundred men and horses standing on the hillside, and he also saw Hua Manman trapped in the carriage.
Li Ji immediately spurred his horse, galloping toward the carriage.
But in the next moment, a man in a black mask charged over on horseback, blocking Li Ji's path.
Li Liao held the reins with one hand and a child in the other. His entire face was completely obscured by the mask, revealing only his eyes.
"Take the child back. We'll be borrowing Hua Manman for a while."
With that, he tossed the child in his arms toward Li Ji.
