âSwish, swish, swish!â
Behind Chu Yihan came a barrage of arrows.
Even though he was severely wounded, he could still evade them. However, he stepped forward to intercept them, grabbed Qin Muyan, and tossed him towards Su Yingxue. âQuick, go!â
âHey! Chu Yihanâ¦â
Qin Muyan wouldnât let him handle it alone. He saw a mass of dark figures rushing over from not far away.
âOh no! Itâs an ambush!â
Wei Jue and Mo Qi shouted simultaneously.
âMiss Su, release us quickly. We must save Your Highness!â
Su Yingxue retracted her whip and moved even faster than them.
âYour Highness!â
Su Yingxueâs whip deflected some of the arrows. She ran to Chu Yihanâs side, only to see that two arrows had still struck him!
Her expression darkened.
âI can handle this. You take your men and leave first!â
Chu Yihan shielded her behind him and cut down two of the black-clad assailants.
He pointed at Qin Muyan. âHeâs badly wounded. You must take care of yourself and then save him!â
âBut Your Highness, youâ¦â Su Yingxueâs worried expression deepened.
âI have a plan. These people are after me. You must leave quickly!â
As they spoke, clashing armor echoed, and well-trained soldiers surged forward, leaving Su Yingxue feeling deeply unsettled. âWhatâs going onâ¦â
Where did these soldiers come from?
âHurry, go!â Chu Yihan pushed her away from him.
Wei Jue lifted Qin Muyan. âYour Highness, letâs go. There are too many of them. Our men canât hold them off!â
âNo, save Chu Yihan. He canât die like this. He must only die by my hand!â
Qin Muyan trembled as he held the sword, glancing back at Chu Yihan.
âThese people are after Ninth Prince. Your Highness, donât get involved!â
Wei Jue was frantic. Qin Muyan was in such a state, yet he was still concerned about Chu Yihan!
âNo, he canât die. I wonât allowit. Get him back for me⦠Hey! Chu Yihan, letâs go. What are you waiting for?â Qin Muyan shouted at Chu Yihan as he was dragged away.
Chu Yihan was too occupied with the enemy to respond, but he deflected all the arrows aimed at Qin Muyan with his feet.
âYour Highness, Iâll wait for you!â With tear-filled eyes, Su Yingxue turned back and shouted at Chu Yihan.
She knew her martial skills wouldnât help Chu Yihan. She was only a hindrance!
She first had to leave with Su Miaoyan and the heavily wounded Qin Muyan. She instructed Wei Jue to drag Qin Muyan to the trees first. She had to tend to his wounds first, or he would truly die!
âYingxue, arenât you worried about Chu Yihan?â Qin Muyan looked at the woman calmly applying medicine to his wounds. He was puzzled.
He knew Su Yingxue liked Chu Yihan. Her eyes were red.
It pained him to see her like this.
âI am worried! But right now, I have to save you first!â
Su Yingxue took a deep breath. âYour Highness will be fine. I believe in him!â
This declaration was sharper than all of Chu Yihanâs sword strikes. Suddenly, Qin Muyan felt as if his heart had been stabbed countless times.
âYour Highness, there are too many people. Iâm afraid we wonât be able to escape!â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wei Jueâs men had scouted ahead and reported, âThe army surrounds this mountain. Thereâs no way out!â
âArmy?â Su Yingxueâs eyes darkened. âWhere did the army come from?â
âTheyâre here to kill Ninth Prince.â
The manâs indifferent voice echoed.
Su Yingxue turned around and saw Xiao Yu.
âHow did you get in?â Su Yingxue stared at him. Just moments ago, Wei Jueâs men had said this place was surrounded, yet Xiao Yu appeared!
