"Everyone, listen. The enemy has an ambush. We need to retreat quickly." The accomplice of the man in black saw the situation was dire and hurriedly ordered a retreat. If this continued, they would likely suffer total annihilation.
"Retreat. Hurry up."
With the command given, the remaining men in black quickly pulled on the reins and retreated rapidly. In no time, they vanished from sight...
At first, Jiang Tingyu was surprised by who was helping him from the shadows. But when he saw the man in black who was about to kill him silently fall dead before his eyes, he knew who it was.
She hadn't left after all.
Jiang Tingyu turned nervously and saw a woman in deep red clothing walking towards him slowly against the night backdrop.
"Weren't you told to leave? Why did you come back?"
"Please forgive me, my lord. Yu Han was worried about you, so I returned."
"Yu Han, could it be that you've developed feelings for Jiang Tingyu? That's why you can't forget him." Jiang Tingyu felt a bit flustered saying this, fearing that the answer he would receive was not what he wanted to hear.
But thinking about it was one thing; saying it out loud was another...
"My lord, please rest assured. Yu Han will always remember her identity and will not overstep her bounds or have any improper thoughts towards you."
At that moment, Jiang Tingyu seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking. However, he still managed to suppress his gradually uncontrollable emotions and smiled faintly at Xia Yuhan: "Jiang Tingyu is just an ordinary person like the countless citizens of Azure Dragon Kingdom. How could I be as noble as you?"
Xia Yuhan lowered her gaze, deliberately avoiding that captivating smile: "My lord is too humble. You have always been the esteemed Right Chancellor. Not only do you hold a high position of power, but more importantly, you are regarded as noble in the hearts of the people of Azure Dragon Kingdom."
"Then why do you ignore what Jiang Tingyu has said? Wasn't I clear in telling you to leave and avoid unnecessary trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhan bowed again to Jiang Tingyu: "Please forgive me, my lord. It's just that Yu Han suddenly realized something. If you had arranged for reinforcements, they would have arrived before you were poisoned by the arrow. Why wait until now to appear? Yu Han felt it was illogical and thus took the risk of disobeying orders to return."
Xia Yuhan quietly listened to these words, feeling immense gratitude towards Jiang Tingyu. He was the second person in this world who had truly treated her well.
She would rather put herself in danger than let him be implicated...
"Xia Yuhan, from now on, mind your own business less. You are not a cat. You don't have nine lives to squander."
"Yes, my lord," Xia Yuhan replied softly. She felt deeply moved by Jiang Tingyu's reprimand because he was truly good to her.
However, Xia Yuhan did not think too much about it, as she knew that in his heart, she was merely a helpless citizen of the Azure Dragon Kingdom. He cared for her just as he cared for the citizens of the Azure Dragon Kingdom.
After that, the whole world fell silent. Xia Yuhan watched as Jiang Tingyu expressionlessly tended to the firewood. The faint glow of the fire illuminated his handsome face, making him look more and more like an immortal descended from the heavens, experiencing the wonders of the mortal world.
Suddenly, Jiang Tingyu spoke up, "Yuhan, your skills are truly remarkable. You can take down enemies in a short time, and your techniques are unexpected, making it hard for others to see through them. Why didn't you take the initiative to strike when fleeing?"
"My lord flatters me. That was under a surprise attack; Yu Han could catch them off guard. But if I were to confront them head-on, within three moves, Yu Han could very well die under their horses."
"Fortunately, they are not formidable experts. A true expert would have killed me before I was even ready to strike."
With that said, for more chapters quickly visit. Xia Yuhan deliberately revealed the Hidden Weapon Launcher hidden in her sleeve: "My lord, this is it."
"Mm, not bad." Jiang Tingyu examined it carefully and nodded in approval. "Keep it hidden. Such things must never be shown to others casually; otherwise..."
Xia Yuhan quickly interjected, "My lord wouldn't do that. Yu Han trusts my lord. This trust is like when my lord first met Yu Han and stood up to believe in her innocence despite being scorned by thousands."
"Last time I saved you; this time it's your turn to save me. It seems fairness still exists," Jiang Tingyu remarked as he looked up with a sigh. "Get some rest early. They won't chase us until reinforcements arrive; it will take them some time. Once my people arrive at dawn, they won't have a chance."
"My lord, why don't we change our position?" Xia Yuhan had actually wanted to ask this question from the beginning.
"I have my considerations. Besides, why hide? What is meant to come will eventually come. They want Jiang Tingyu's life; it's not an easy task."
Xia Yuhan listened and took a deep breath: "Is it possible that you did this on purpose, my lord?"
Jiang Tingyu looked at Xia Yuhan meaningfully: "Yuhan, no matter what, I hope you can be safe."
With that, Jiang Tingyu picked up a branch from the fire and walked towards the direction of the deceased man in black. Xia Yuhan understood that Jiang Tingyu intended to find some valuable information from the dead body.
However, the subsequent investigation was bound to disappoint him. Xia Yuhan guessed that Jiang Tingyu would not be able to find any clues at all.
These people were clearly martial artists based on their demeanor and behavior, and they were not professional assassins. It was very likely that they were sent by someone behind the scenes who wanted to kill him.
In other words, they had no chance to directly contact the Puppet Master. Therefore, there was no key breakthrough to be found from them.
Moreover, if Xia Yuhan's guess was correct, the Puppet Master who wanted to kill Jiang Tingyu was the one who framed her, aiming to ruin her reputation.
But when Jiang Tingyu finished examining the corpse, one sentence left Xia Yuhan completely shocked.
Because he said: "Who else knows what they shouldn't know this time and wants to kill me, Jiang Tingyu?"
This meant that he had more than one or two enemies.
Jiang Tingyu's face looked grim. Xia Yuhan couldn't help but express her concern: "My lord, are you alright?"
"I'm fine. I just feel very sorry for involving you in this trouble for no reason," replied Jiang Tingyu.
Xia Yuhan had little resistance to his concern: "My lord, where are these words coming from? Yu Han is willing to serve you."
……
At this moment, the entire Xia Yang Village was illuminated by torches. The villagers of Xia Yang Village were holding torches everywhere, shouting Xia Yuhan's name as they searched for her.
After the Han and Bu Jingyun met up, they searched everywhere in the Right Prime Minister's Residence but found no trace of anyone. They could only return to Xia Manor to seek help from General Xia.
Meanwhile, Cang Yile, busy with important matters during the Daylight, delved deep into Xia Yang Village at night. Upon learning of Xia Yuhan's sudden disappearance, he was filled with rage.
"Master, you couldn't even keep an eye on Xia Yuhan, such a grown person. It's really embarrassing for Disciple."
The old man casually stroked his beard and replied, "Her feet are her own. If she wants to go somewhere, how can I find her? Do you believe that I've been near the village entrance and haven't seen Xia Yuhan leave the village?"
"Master, shouldn't we update and look for her immediately?"
"You're really impatient. We don't even know where she went. Searching would be pointless."
"And remember your identity. Don't forget your identity." The old man gestured for him to change into a disguise as an Ice Blood Sect Master assassin.
However, Cang Yile couldn't care less about that at the moment. "Master, who left the village today?"
The old man placed his hands behind his back and said seriously, "Most villagers from Xia Yang Village went downstream to dig pits today. So there are very few people leaving the village. I don't have much impression of others who left, but I do remember that old village chief left the village. He hasn't returned yet; I don't know where he went."
"How long has the Old Village Chief been gone?" Cang Yile pressed on anxiously, unable to listen to the old man’s lengthy explanations.
"About half a day. By the way, I heard that Sun Liuxiang was with Xia Yuhan. Around noon, Xia Yuhan took Bu Jingyun and some strong men from the village to a place, but I don't know where they went."
Upon hearing this, Cang Yile covered his face with his hand and said angrily, "This woman really doesn't give me any peace of mind."
The old man blinked in confusion and asked, "What? You know where she went even though she's not here?"
But all that answered him was Cang Yile's hurried figure leaving, leaving the old man blinking innocently with dry eyes: "These ancient people really have a connection; could it be true?"
After muttering to himself, the old man praised himself again: "I, Fuyazi, am truly clever. You must hurry and catch her; otherwise, I'll have to step in myself."
It's a pity that Cang Yile didn't hear this. Otherwise, if he were present, he would have to confront him with swords: "Master, one can eat recklessly, but one cannot speak recklessly. How could it be that he is pursuing her? She should be the one circling around him."
If Xia Yuhan were present, she would definitely be speechless...
Cang Yile hurriedly rode out of Xia Yang Village, racing towards Jiang Tingyu's residence. If his guess was correct, this woman must have gone to deliver a message to Jiang Tingyu herself, informing him that someone wanted to kill him.
If it were just that, it would be fine. At least sending a message wouldn't take too much time. What he feared was any unexpected incidents along the way.
"What a reckless woman," Cang Yile gritted his teeth in frustration, wishing he could pin her down immediately and teach her a lesson. "Just wait. Once I find you, I'll deal with you. This is driving me crazy."
When Cang Yile arrived at Jiang Tingyu's residence, he searched the place thoroughly but found no sign of Jiang Tingyu or Xia Yuhan.
Moreover, the entire Right Prime Minister's Residence was unusually quiet. Usually filled with guards, now not a single person could be seen. The only ones left were powerless servants.
Fortunately, Xia Yuhan often wore red clothing, which caught his attention while searching for her...
This is bad. Cang Yile shouted in his heart and hurriedly rushed in a certain direction.
