"Young Master Shen, I can't go on like this." Number Two who was hiding the side of the sword moved to Shen Haoxuan's side and whispered to him. However, the sword in his hand still continued to move, as though it had already become instinctive.
Shen Haoxuan bit his lips, "There's no other way right now." At this moment, he did not have any ideas that he could come up with.
Following the increase in the number of black-clothed men, Shen Haoxuan and the nine hidden guards already began to feel the strain. Shen Haoxuan's brows tightly knitted, and his lips had been bitten until they turned white, yet he was still unwilling to give up.
He began to bear with it more and more.
The hidden guards beside him fell one after another. Shen Haoxuan was completely exhausted, and with a wrong move, a tiny gap was revealed behind him. He was immediately discovered by the black clothed man, and his long sword fiercely pierced towards Shen Haoxuan's weak point.
He had tried his best to resist but he could only barely resist. Unexpectedly, his sword pierced through the folding fan and attacked his heart.
"Dang — —" A clear sound rang, and the half of the sword was broken, Shen Haoxuan took the chance to snatch the black clothed man's sword, and the broken sword directly pierced towards the black clothed man's chest.
Warm blood spurted out from his chest. Shen Haoxuan reflexively took out his fan to block it, and his face had an extremely disgusted look.
However, the sharp weapon that had just broken the sword was a small dart.
As expected, a group of people quickly joined the battle. The leader's expression was ice-cold. In his hand were three silver darts that shone under the sunlight, reflecting a dazzling light.
Seeing the person, Shen Haoxuan was overjoyed.
The leader quickly dealt with the black-clothed men surrounding Shen Haoxuan, kneeling on one knee in front of Shen Haoxuan, his expression cold and respectful, "This subordinate was too late to save Your Highness, young master was startled."
He was the person in charge of the Tianyi Pavilion, the person Shen Haoxuan valued the most, and the person who would take over the Tianyi Pavilion the next time.
With the help of the Tianyi Pavilion's assassins, the situation immediately changed. This group of men in black with unknown origins were quickly taken care of by the Tianyi Pavilion's assassins one by one.
The killers did not act lightly nor heavily, they continued to kill the man in black with their blade. Shen Haoxuan saw that the situation was more or less stable, and said slowly: "Remember to leave him alive."
The leader of the men in black was tied up, especially his mouth, which was also tied with a rope. He absolutely could not let him grit his teeth and commit suicide.
Shen Haoxuan's beloved tasseled fan had already been dyed in blood, the white surface of the fan was completely red, especially the bone that had been pierced by the sword, it was ruined beyond recognition.
There's a town ahead of us. We'll escort Princess Changge into the city first and then we'll rush to reunite with the two of them. We'll rest in the city for the night tonight and set off tomorrow morning. " Shen Haoxuan ordered, riding his own horse, he rushed towards the direction of the town.
With the aftermath, Shen Haoxuan arranged everything in an orderly manner, but his hand that was holding onto the reins was still trembling, obviously he still had some lingering fear in his heart.
If it weren't for the fact that Thunder had arrived in time with his men, he would have been a ghost under their swords by now. Whether it was in terms of martial arts skills or their coordination, it didn't seem like a temporary gathering.
Is this the power of the family?
In these past few years, if there had not been the suppression from the princes and the emperor, the Ye Clan would have gradually declined. With just this method of training corpses, it was enough to shake off several streets of those so-called aristocratic clans.
If the Ye Family was like this, then what about the other families?
He suddenly recalled the mysterious Ji Rufeng who possessed extraordinary skills, an imposing aura, and a mysterious background; the warm and gentle young master Wen Qian, yet Qi Yun, who wielded great power, and who was below only one person …
In this world, a person who could chase deer might not be as simple as he thought.
Shen Haoxuan tightened his grip on the reins, the tight-lipped thin lip revealed the uneasiness in his heart.
Very quickly, Shen Haoxuan found him in the tavern. Just a moment ago, they had been through a life and death struggle, and his body had disappeared very quickly. Now that he saw the fragrant meal, he immediately felt hungry.
He sat opposite Xuanyuan Changge and started to eat.
Xuanyuan Changge was shocked by Shen Haoxuan's actions, and also by his actions of eating the food. This … The speed at which food was being destroyed was simply too fast.
However, although he ate very quickly, the food was very elegant and did not affect his image in the slightest.
When he regained his senses, Xuanyuan Changge heaved a long sigh of relief. The huge boulder that had been hanging high in his heart had also finally landed peacefully.
As long as he was safe.
"When the Young Master Shen returned safely, were those black-clothed men taken care of? Is the follow-up work done? " Xuanyuan Changge asked in detail. After all, this matter was of utmost importance. If he were to attract the attention of the local officials and cause such a major assassination, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to.
If he revealed his identity, it would definitely attract even more attention.
Shen Haoxuan filled his stomach with satisfaction, placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table, and said with a smile: "Princess Changge, don't worry, I have already settled this matter, and Princess doesn't need to worry about these things. I will definitely send Princess back to the capital safely before the end of the year."
Xuanyuan Changge nodded her head obediently, seeing that Shen Haoxuan still had something to say, but looking at the one sitting beside her, she seemed to have something to discuss with him.
Then, he tactfully said: "After working hard for the entire day, I will first go upstairs to wash myself and rest. Young Master Shen and Mister Fen Yi also need to rest early to fully recover."
Seeing that Xuanyuan Changge had gone upstairs, Shen Haoxuan poured a cup of green tea and passed it over to him.
Although he was expressionless, his eyes revealed a hint of doubt. He was clearly asking why Shen Haoxuan had done such a thing.
Although he was Xuanyuan Chen's shadow, he was always responsible for obeying Xuanyuan Chen's orders. He had never encountered such a situation before and was a little at a loss for what to do.
After hesitating for a moment, he grabbed the teacup with both hands.
When Shen Haoxuan saw what had happened, the corner of his eye unconsciously twitched. He cleared his throat and asked: "Did you guys encounter anything amiss on the way here?"
He refused to believe that Ye Wenfu only had this one move to cruelly dispatch all of his men to stop them. After all, Ye Wenfu was an old cunning fox who hid his abilities well.
He carefully thought back for a moment, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "No."
Other than a few blind men in black clothing chasing after him and Xuanyuan Changge, nothing unusual had happened after his sword pierced their hearts.
However, was that matter considered abnormal?
Not really.
In the end, he did not tell Shen Haoxuan.
Seeing that, Shen Haoxuan heaved a sigh of relief. He was not afraid that Ye Wenfu would try to trick him from the shadows. However, with An Ying around, any underhanded tactics would probably not work.
