However, Cang Yile, carrying Xia Yuhan, had not gone far when they encountered hundreds of reinforcements.
These reinforcements were dressed in official uniforms, clearly people from the Official Government. But when Cang Yile saw the murderous glint in their eyes, he sensed something was wrong. He quickly reined in his horse and lifted Xia Yuhan, who was draped across the saddle, ensuring she was seated securely.
Originally, Xia Yuhan had planned to secretly give him a poison needle to make Cang Yile suffer for three nights. However, upon seeing the situation before her, she immediately became serious.
Cang Yile looked at the very understanding Xia Yuhan in his arms and couldn't help but hold her tighter, saying, "A woman should be obedient."
Since that night alone with Xia Yuhan in Xia Yang Village, Cang Yile's feelings for her had intensified. Especially after learning that she was in trouble that night, he was anxious and wished he could keep her by his side forever.
He secretly vowed that as long as he found Xia Yuhan this time, he would never let her disappear from his side again.
Even if it meant exposing his true identity in front of the clever Xia Yuhan. It could even jeopardize his plans. More likely, it would make him forget himself as he indulged in the days of guarding Xia Yuhan.
To make matters worse, he might even die in front of this woman...
But compared to seeing Xia Yuhan in another man's embrace, he would do everything possible to keep her by his side.
Who would have thought that the woman he initially intended to use to get close to would end up making him fall for her? And now his love was uncontrollable.
All of this led him to decisively choose to boldly love her once. He hoped she could also fall for him...
Suddenly, Cang Yile reined in his horse and turned back toward Jiang Tingyu. When he walked alongside Jiang Tingyu, Cang Yile met his serious gaze.
"Right Chancellor. I believe you have sensed the danger as well. Help me take care of this King's woman. This King guarantees your safety."
Xia Yuhan really wanted to beat him half to death on the spot. However, her strength was far inferior to his, and her speed was nowhere near enough to catch up with Cang Yile.
Before she could even curse at him, she felt a tightness around her waist and then found herself lifted into the air before landing back on the horse's back.
However, behind him stood another person. That was Jiang Tingyu.
"I'll dismount myself."
But as soon as the words left his mouth, he was fiercely glared at by Cang Yile: "Don't move."
At that moment, the other party confirmed that they were indeed the targets to be eliminated: "It's them. Kill."
With a shout, about two hundred men surrounded them from all directions, each move displaying lethal intent.
Cang Yile's eyes were filled with fury. He was greatly angered that someone had taken advantage of his woman. Just when he wanted to do something serious, he was interrupted by a group of assassins disguised as soldiers.
If he didn't unleash this anger soon, would he be regarded as a savior?
He gritted his teeth, drew the long sword from his waist, and charged towards the group of soldiers.
Xia Yuhan watched in fear. She couldn't care less about her current predicament and shouted loudly: "My lord, be careful!"
She knew Cang Yile's skills well, but how could one person contend against over two hundred?
Jiang Tingyu's personal guards numbered about ten. Each of them possessed exceptional skills. Seeing their master in danger, half stayed close to protect him while the other half rushed into the crowd to fight.
Throughout it all, Xia Yuhan's gaze remained fixed on Cang Yile. She updated her observations constantly, fearing that if he let his guard down for even a moment, it could cost him his life.
"What should we do? These assassins disguised as soldiers are agile and are at least one or two times stronger than the ones who attacked you last night."
The battlefield was chaotic, and Xia Yuhan found herself at a loss. Compared to escaping herself, she was more worried about Cang Yile's safety. Although he had his flaws, he wasn't a bad person at heart. He understood how to hide his strength in unfavorable situations and had the potential to become a great emperor in the future. If this man were to die because of her, she would never find peace in her life.
Moreover, she didn't dislike him that much...
Jiang Tingyu tightened his grip on Xia Yuhan's arm while scanning the battlefield. "These two hundred or so people don't seem like ordinary assassins. They look more like trained soldiers. Look, Yu Han. They aren't rushing at us all at once. Instead, a portion of them attacks, and when our stamina is nearly depleted, the next wave comes in. Clearly, they're playing a war of attrition with us. If this continues, we will definitely be at a disadvantage."
"That's true. The scene looks chaotic, but it's actually very orderly. Sir, is there any way to break through their formation?" Xia Yuhan anxiously looked around, confirming Jiang Tingyu's assessment of the situation.
"Although Jiang Tingyu's guards are all highly skilled martial artists with unique abilities, continuous fighting will inevitably drain their stamina. I'm afraid they won't last much longer. If we try to escape, there are several times more guards in every direction, making it impossible to break through."
"Is there really no choice but to fight to the death?" Xia Yuhan shouted hoarsely, desperately searching for Cang Yile's figure.
"We are already trapped like fish in a barrel. Right now, we have no choice but to fight. It's either you die or I die. If we had enough shields, we could concentrate our limited manpower and break through together. But Jiang Tingyu doesn't want his soldiers to become human shields and make unnecessary sacrifices. He would rather let them die fighting than lose their dignity."
There was a battlefield, teammates, and fierce enemies...
Xia Yuhan felt a surge of blood boiling in her heart...
She watched as Cang Yile moved through the crowd, with all the surrounding assassins falling to the ground. He was drenched in blood, looking like a blood-soaked warrior, ruthlessly killing his foes. His immediate goal was to help them break through.
However, the enemy's numbers were simply too overwhelming, and what was worse was that reinforcements were continuously joining the enemy ranks.
Even if Cang Yile had exceptional skills, it would be difficult for him to eliminate them all alone—unless he were the Ice Blood Sect Master assassin.
Xia Yuhan's heart twisted in pain. No, she couldn't let him take that risk. Suddenly, she shouted out loud: "Prince, come back!"
But her call went unheeded; Cang Yile continued to slaughter enemies without any sign of stopping.
This time, Xia Yuhan was furious beyond measure. What was he pretending to be deaf for?
In her desperation, she disregarded her identity and any traditional etiquette and shouted again from her horse: "Cang Yile! If you don't come back now, I, Xia Yuhan, will die right here!"
Slash!
Cang Yile stumbled, nearly falling to the ground. What was this woman trying to do? He was in the midst of killing, enjoying himself. He felt powerful now. Although he wasn't using his full strength to hide his skills, in the short time it took to drink a cup of tea, he had already killed fifty or sixty capable assassins.
Perhaps everyone around knew Cang Yile's prowess. Seeing that he had stopped, they did not advance any further but instead shrank back, hesitating: "It's more important to kill Jiang Tingyu and Xia Yuhan."
"Yes."
As half of the people surrounding him rushed towards Jiang Tingyu and Xia Yuhan, Cang Yile shouted loudly. The surrounding assassins were startled, causing some to fall off their horses. A few Horses lost control and began to run wildly, creating chaos among the assassins.
Seizing the opportunity, Cang Yile urged his horse forward, swinging his sword. Wherever he went, there were cries of agony. The blood of the assassins splattered onto him and his face. The assassins looked at him and hurriedly retreated in fear.
Those who were rushing to kill Jiang Tingyu and Xia Yuhan saw Cang Yile chasing from behind and quickly fled in panic, scattering in all directions.
"Woman, what does This King owe you?" Cang Yile was so caught up in killing that he was almost blinded by rage. It had been a long time since he had killed so many people in such a short span; he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
"Are you injured?" Xia Yuhan, on horseback, asked with concern.
Seeing her ask like this made Cang Yile very happy. In front of Jiang Tingyu, he unabashedly said something extremely ambiguous: "Is my beloved concubine eager to marry This King?"
The tenderness in Xia Yuhan's eyes vanished instantly. She shot a cold glance at Cang Yile: "I am merely worried whether you are seriously injured and if you will hold us back."
The corner of Cang Yile's eye twitched; this woman could be so harsh with her words. She really left him no face at all.
But who was he? The legendary Evil Master Zhangmen. How could he let this go so easily?
"Woman, if you continue like this, then This King demands that if I break through this time, you must marry me."
"One person's strength is ultimately limited. We should think about how to break through while minimizing losses," Jiang Tingyu, who had been silently watching anxiously, quickly interrupted due to the urgent situation.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhan ignored Cang Yile and suddenly dismounted her horse, saying seriously: "Yu Han has a plan that can both break through and minimize harm to your people."
"Oh. What should we do?" The two of them focused their attention on Xia Yuhan.
"Right Chancellor. We need to call them back first."
Xia Yuhan completely ignored the exhausted Cang Yile. She turned to discuss with Jiang Tingyu. Cang Yile was so angry that he felt a chill in the core of his long sword.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingyu's furrowed brows relaxed. Without a second thought, he immediately ordered, "Someone, whistle to call them back."
With the command given, five crisp and rhythmic whistles echoed through the forest. The guards who were fighting fiercely heard the whistles and began to retreat, rushing towards Jiang Tingyu's direction.
Cang Yile admired Jiang Tingyu's training methods in his heart but couldn't help but retort, "Does the Right Chancellor not fear being too trusting of Xia Yuhan? What if it leads to the destruction of the entire army?"
To Cang Yile's surprise, Jiang Tingyu answered this question without any hesitation: "Jiang Tingyu trusts Yu Han as he trusts himself."
Cang Yile was seriously jealous. Every time Jiang Tingyu mentioned Yu Han, it was so affectionate, as if he had entrusted his own life to her.
Just how good is your relationship?
Hmph.
