After catching her breath, she was somewhat flustered. She adjusted her hair and said, "Your Highness, Jing Qi is coming in right away …"

Shen Ling Jue bitterly smiled, he could only calm his heart and suppress his intimate thoughts.

After a while, Jing Qi came in with a basin of washed sweet potatoes.

When he saw the red blush on the princess' face, he smiled secretly. He knew that the master and his wife were having a sweet time just now. He put the sweet potato in the pot and went to patrol in the backyard.

Feng Ning Yan nestled against Shen Ling Jue, standing up from time to time to turn the sweet potatoes in the pot, and very quickly smelled the fragrance.

When she opened the lid, she saw that the skin of the sweet potato had been slightly scorched, revealing the golden pulp inside.

"It's done roasting! Let's clean up the fire and hurry on our way. "

As she spoke, she impatiently picked up the sweet potato with her chopsticks and placed it on the clean brocade handkerchief.

Outside, Jing Qi was guarding the backyard, but the courtyard was very small, so he could already smell the sweet smell of sweet potatoes.

He thought that once the sweet potatoes were done roasting, the Prince and Princess would want water to wash their hands, so he went to the well and threw the bucket down.

At this time, he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from the treetops outside the wall.

Jing Qi grabbed the sabre by his waist and turned around to look at his surroundings. The treetops in the dense forest were shaking violently, it was obvious that someone was moving stealthily between the treetops!

He rushed to the kitchen and let out a sharp whistle!

"Enemy attack!"

Shen Ling Jue shouted in a low voice and stood up. With one hand pulling out the sword, and the other holding Feng Ning Yan in his embrace.

However, they had no idea how many people were outside and could not rush out.

At this moment, a sharp sound of wind breaking came from all directions. "Snatch!" A few sounds rang out. The three wooden walls of the kitchen seemed to have been struck by a metallic object.

"It seems... It's an eagle hook! " Feng Ning Yan couldn't help but be shocked.

One side of the kitchen was against the wall, while the other three sides were made of wooden planks. As long as the falcon's hook was sharp enough and strong enough, it could penetrate through this thin layer of wooden planks.

"Looks like the Pingping Inn really isn't peaceful. I won't come next time."

Shen Ling Jue was still in the mood to joke around.

Feng Ning Yan clenched her teeth, and looked outside: "This place is indeed unlucky!"

Just as she finished speaking, the three wooden walls of the kitchen shook, and under the powerful tugging of the eagle claws, they instantly collapsed.

The pale sunlight suddenly shone down on the entire kitchen, leaving it completely unobstructed.

Tens of masked men in black appeared around him, surrounding him, the swords in their hands gleaming with a cold light.

Jing Qi had already rushed over and landed beside them, "Prince, Princess Wangfei, be careful!"

The opposing side has a large number of people and they don't know where they came from, but to be able to sneak into the inn without Shen Ling Jue and Jing Qi noticing, their martial arts are definitely not weak.

"You really must be careful," Shen Ling Jue looked at Feng Ning Yan, with a grave expression on his face, he continued, "Don't keep fighting, get out of here as soon as possible!"

Feng Ningyan nodded. "The three of us will advance and retreat together!"

At this time, one of the assassins waved his hand and shouted, "Release the arrows!"

Following his order, all the men in black from the hidden forest shot their arrows at the same time.

The wind whizzed as sharp arrows shot towards Feng Ningyan and company like hail!

The three of them had their backs to each other, swords and sabers in their hands. Their sabers shone like steel walls, completely covering the three of them.

With a series of clangs, countless arrows fell to the ground. Some of them even hit the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Feng Ningyan lowered her head to look at the arrowhead. It was glowing with a strange blue light. Clearly, it had been poisoned.

These people had come prepared. What they wanted was their lives, they were definitely not the bandits near Wolf Ivory Mountain! Who else could it be?

Feng Ning Yan immediately roared in anger, "Shen You Huang, don't you dare hurt me with your hidden arrows! If you want to monopolize military merits, take it, sneak attack, despicable and shameless! "

One of the black-clothed men responded loudly, "What Shen Youhuang, I don't know! After you have bullied our crown prince and forced him to become his wife, we have come to avenge both the crown prince and the princess! "

Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan looked at each other. From this black clothed man's words, it was indeed the accent of Haocheng from the Southern Wilderness. Could it be that they really weren't sent by Shen You Huang?

When Jing Qi heard this, he hurriedly said, "But those assassins that were trained on Skeleton Island are also from the Southern Wilderness and are speaking in the dialect near Hao City."

"There's nothing much to guess. Let's go all out against the enemy!"

Shen Ling Jue shouted, and turned his body to leave the kitchen area, directly rushing towards the black clothed man to attack.

When the black-clothed man saw this, he hastily retreated while the other assassins were already in front of him.

"Go!" Cut off the head and bring it back, master will reward you handsomely! " he ordered loudly.

The moment the black-clothed men heard the command, they immediately charged forward like fierce wolves. Shen Ling Jue was immediately surrounded. Feng Ning Yan did not hesitate as she immediately charged forward.

Those people immediately split half of them to deal with Feng Ning Yan. Feng Ning Yan fought as she approached Shen Ling Jue, wanting to fight alongside him.

Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Ling Jue saw Feng Ning Yan coming over, and hurriedly swept the sword in his hand, thrusting straight into the chest of the black clothed man in front of him, following that, he lifted his leg and kicked.

When Feng Ningyan saw this, she lightly smiled and stood shoulder to shoulder with him. Her entire body was filled with energy, and she naturally grew braver as the battle continued.

The two of them had a tacit understanding in their hearts. When they worked together, they would call out to each other with their swords and cooperate with the Seamless Gate, causing the assassins to scream and fall to the ground, unable to get close to the two of them.

Seeing that they could handle the situation, Jing Qi hurriedly ran to the stables to lead the horses.

The man in black's target was not Jing Zhan, but upon seeing him leave, he ignored him and continued to stare at Feng Ningyan and Shen Lingjue.

In the midst of the humming of the swords, the long sword in Shen Ling Jue's hand moved like a snake, catching him by surprise. After one or two moves, another two black clothed men fell down while screaming.

However, when the leader of the assassins saw the assassins slowly falling to a disadvantage, killing intent appeared in his eyes. He raised his right hand and swung it.

At this moment, more killers rushed out from the forest, like sharks that had caught a whiff of blood.

Feng Ningyan's heart was filled with anxiety. Since the opponent's surprise attack failed, she will use this battle to exhaust both her and Shen Lingjue's strength. If this continues, they won't be able to last much longer.

Moreover, the leading black-clothed man hadn't made his move yet, but was instead coldly watching from the side. It could be seen that he was very confident in the outcome of the battle.

Her mind raced as she thought of a countermeasure.

At this moment, a loud ripping sound came from the horses. Jing Zhan sat on the horse with his left hand holding the reins and the long sword in his right hand pointed. In a blink of an eye, he appeared behind them, bringing the two war horses with him.

Shen Lingjue used his sword to force the enemy in front of him to retreat. He immediately grabbed Feng Ningyan's hand and flung it away.

Borrowing the strength of his hand, Feng Ningyan's body nimbly flipped in the air and immediately landed on the horse's back, "Come!"

Shen Ling Jue, on the other hand, didn't move a step. Instead, he stood in front of her and Jing Qi's horses, blocking the assassin while ordering, "Jing Qi, bring the wangfei away first!"
