Just at that moment, an arrow shot out from the front, unerring, with the blade in the middle, Chen Yao's forehead, an arrow pierced through!
Chen Yao slid down to the ground, the arrow shot out like a rain of rain, the Death Soldiers charged forward with all their might …
The scene turned bloody once again. The brutality of the war lay right there – human lives were not life, but ants were withered grass. However, in the blink of an eye, life and death had been divided into two paths, one leading to the sun the next day, and the other into the darkness.
Just as everyone was panicking, they saw Yu Yan throw the bow to the ground, with both of her arms hanging down, she repeatedly screamed.
"Oh my god, my hand..." It's not mine anymore... How many pig's feet do I need to eat to make it back... How did he manage to cultivate his martial arts … Ah Lang, I don't want to learn any more martial arts! "
Wei Zidong and the other guards who were standing in front of her turned to look at her, flabbergasted.
This majestic and ruthless Princess Yu Yan had suddenly become a … A pretty girl.
October shook his big head, lay down, and raised his neck. However, his eyes lit up as he looked in the direction of the camp.
Yu Yan looked over and saw that the man was tall and stallion. His cape was fluttering in the wind and his light armor was stained with blood.
"King Xiao has returned to camp." Wei Zidong cried out in surprise.
Yu Yan looked at the longbow in his hand, and knew in her heart that the arrow that had saved Chen Yao earlier, was shot by him.
"Leave him alive." He glanced over and retracted his gaze. The longbow in his hand was once again filled with arrows. The arrows were nocked and shot at lightning speed, aiming at the opponent's legs.
The archers turned their arrows in their direction, aiming them at the legs of the men who had died.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the camp that had caused so much trouble finally quieted down. Unfortunately, not a single person was left alive.
Yulixiao jumped down from his horse and walked towards Chen Yao in large strides. After looking up and down, he said in a low voice, "Go down and heal your injuries."
Sai Mi came out from the side and carried Chen Yao on her back and left.
"Your Highness." Ye Mingyue quickly walked towards him. Her small face, which had turned pale from fright, was also stained with a lot of blood and dust. Coupled with her teary eyes, she looked even more pitiful.
"Entering the palace without permission, bring him away." Yulixiao only glanced at her once before walking past her with big steps towards Yu Yan.
The corner of Yu Yan's mouth lifted slightly. Just as she was about to say hello, Yulixiao's angry voice sounded out.
"Who allowed you to stand up?"
Yu Yan was startled, and didn't know how to reply. Right then, Yulixiao's hand had already fallen, and heavily hit her butt — —
It was very loud! It was very painful! Very unexpected!
"At a time like this, if you don't know where to hide, what are you going to do?" Are there no men here? Or do you just want to be a man? "
Yu Yan cried out in pain, but she did not even have the strength to cover her wound. After getting beaten up in front of the crowd, she lost face, and her lips twitched a few times.
The noisy surroundings suddenly quieted down, Yulixiao bent down and picked her up.
"Hey, hey …" Yu Yan screamed.
"Hey, you, Poison Mute!" Yulixiao's chest was filled with rage. Seeing her step forward recklessly, if someone really were to lift an arrow, who could guarantee that they would be able to protect her?
"With your saliva?" Yu Yan was extremely angry, and asked back angrily.
There was silence again.
Yulixiao looked down, his eyes filled with anger, anger and amusement. In a low voice, he asked back, "Is my saliva poisonous?"
"After drinking it for three years, he became a poisoner even without poison." Yu Yan sneered, and said rudely.
Yulixiao stopped in his tracks, stared at her for a moment, then frowned: "Don't do anything to show off, be gentle and be protected by your men."
"In my opinion, October is more reliable, strong, high in the air, fast in the eyes, and ruthless in the teeth. More importantly, it won't waste its time in front of me. These five good lions are very much to my liking." Yu Yan sneered, then rudely returned the favor.
"Men, get the poisoned wine, you're not going to be poisoned today!" He laid her on the ground, a little exasperated.
Of course, no one brought him poison or even followed him. Only October followed with her tail trailing behind her. When she saw him turn around, she lazily yawned and laid down on the side.
Just as he was looking back with a murderous gaze, Yu Yan's head leaned in close to his chest and whispered: "Are you injured? "How did you get back in time? It just happens to be the hero saving Yao …"
Hearing the first sentence, the warmth in his heart suddenly increased, and the last few words sent Yulixiao back to his original form.
"Yu Yan, I really suspect that you were sent by the heavens to torture me!" His face was dark as he squeezed her soft lips, but his tone was less harsh.
Yu Yan raised her eyes, took a light breath and said faintly: "I heard that you were severely injured, and scared the hell out of me … I thought that I was going to be a widow again! "
"If I don't say the latter sentence, would your mouth drop off?" Yulixiao's chest was suddenly blocked by fire...
"I think so." Yu Yan squinted as she raised her head to look at him.
Their gazes met, and they were speechless.
The gentle wind, mixed with the ashes of the newly extinguished fire, blew over and blinded her. With a soft cry, she lowered her head to rub it.
"Stupid girl."
He lowered his Adam's apple and gently lifted her face with one finger while gently lifting her eyelids with the other. He leaned over and blew gently.
The warmth, the smell of him, the wild air, the pride of the battle, all rushed into her nose, her fists pressed against his, her long eyelashes lowered, her breath coming in short gasps.
"Are you sure you're not hurt?" she asked softly.
"Who can hurt me when I slay countless enemies?" He was somewhat arrogant.
"Yes, your majesty." Yu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, she decided to maintain this harmonious scene, and did not want to poke his face.
"It's really rare to hear a kind word from you." With both hands holding her small hand, Mo Tong stared at her face.
Black, gray and bloodstained, he was in a very sorry state. His hair was tied up in a bun, his hairpin had gone somewhere, and one of his earrings was missing. However, he was still as calm as if nothing had happened.
Yu Yan was still just smiling.
It was hard to describe the feelings in her heart right now. She felt an inexplicable sense of joy when she saw him nimbly dismount from his horse and walk past the two madams. He picked her up and scolded her in a low voice.
Was it because he was perfectly fine and uninjured, or because he was holding her?
"I need to rebuild the tent, and Chen Yao is even injured, why would Mingyue come herself? "She must be here to send us off." she whispered, turning her head to look at the ruins.
The guards were hurriedly cleaning up. The burnt tents were no longer usable, and there was nothing left for them to do, so they had to count the number of people. The box with the payment was still there. This piece of wood was specially prepared so that it would not be easy to light it up.
Wei Zidong and Nie Shuangcheng stopped a few steps away. Seeing the two of them holding hands, they didn't dare to come over.
"Go ahead." Yu Yan retracted her hand, and turned to walk forward.
October stood up and shook herself free of her snow-white hair, following her slowly. Ah Lang cupped his fists at Yulixiao and followed him in big strides.
Five good lions, adding the upright Ah Lang, if Nian En was here, Yu Yan felt that her Little World was close to perfection.
Yulixiao retracted his gaze and took off the light armor on his body.
Wei Zidong and Nie Shuangcheng hurried over and took his armor and placed it on the well. They wanted to scoop up some water to wash their hands, but they saw that there was blood flowing all over the green stone well, and they were afraid that the well water was stained with it. He frowned, giving up on the idea of cleaning up now.
"How are the casualties?" He turned his head and wiped his hands with the handkerchief as he spoke in a low voice.
"110 casualties, 79 deaths, 29 tents burned, all the food in the camp gone." Wei Zidong's face was filled with shame. He cupped his hands together and lowered his head.
"Also, even though the pay has arrived, the food carts were stopped by Yu Tianqi's men, and all of them fell into the river, and only ten carts were retrieved." Nie Shuangcheng's voice was also quiet.
It was difficult to attack the river, so they had to force their way through at night. The next step was to surround the city, but if they couldn't even transport their own grain, then they could forget about trapping others.
"Got it." Yulixiao did not show any anger, and only said a few words lightly.
"Among the four people that Madam Mingyue has brought with her, Yu Tong and Brightmoon … "A few arrows!" Wei Zidong said again.
"No treatment?"
Yulixiao frowned. These two were the most capable people in the Ye Family Banking House, especially Yu Tong. He was also proficient in the languages of the various races and was a good person in business. If he lost these two people, the Ye Clan's Bank would lose two pillars.
"Yes." Wei Zidong nodded guiltily.
"Where is Chen Yao's injury?" Yulixiao asked.
"The arrow pierced my shoulder, Sai Mi had already taken the arrow and drugged her." Nie Shuangcheng hurriedly said.
Yulixiao threw away the handkerchief and walked in the direction of the medicine hall with big strides, "Come, let's go take a look."
Wei Zidong followed closely behind him and whispered, "Why did the prince come back in such a timely manner?"
"There's a secret report, there's a night attack." Yulixiao said lightly.
Wei Zidong's face was full of shame as he said in a low voice, "It is this subordinate's incompetence."
"Yu Tianqi must have an advisor by his side!" Yulixiao turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial city, and said in a heavy voice, "This person is not simple. More importantly, we all don't know who he is, nor where he's hiding."
"A counselor?" The two of them stopped and followed his gaze. They were well aware of the people that were with Yu Tianqi, who the heck was this advisor that suddenly appeared?
In the dark velvet sky, there were a few kites flying towards the moon.
In the medicine hall, Chen Yao had just wrapped up her injured shoulder and lightly pulled up her clothes. She looked like she was on the verge of collapse.
Sai Mi's eyes were blindfolded, the black cloth wrapped around his eyes so tightly that it could not be seen, and his bony hands were currently washing himself in a basin, the water in the basin was already dyed red with blood.
Hearing the footsteps, she gently turned her head, seeing that it was Yulixiao who came in, her eyes lit up, she immediately supported herself on the table, and wanted to bow to him.
"No need, take good care of yourself." Yulixiao supported her with a hand and said in a deep voice, "Let Sai Mi send you back to the palace to recuperate. You don't have to worry about the matters here."
"Yes." Chen Yao nodded, her fingers moving from his arm all the way down to her palm, and asked gently: "Is the prince injured?"
Yulixiao retracted his hand, helped her sit down, and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, Sai Mi. Take good care of Miss.
"Yes." Only now did Sai Mi remove the black cloth that was covering his eyes, and turned to pay his respects.
Yulixiao instructed them a little more as he brought Nie Shuangcheng and Wei Zidong out.
The fire had been put out. Arrows and weapons were scattered all over the place. Someone had carried them to the river bank to clean up. The three of them walked through the camp. Yulixiao was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "Wei Zidong, take some people to the outskirts of the camp to prepare. The camp will be pulled out tomorrow."
"Yes." Wei Zidong cupped his fist, held onto the great sword on his waist and walked away.
"My lord, there is something you should say, I'm afraid that Ah Lang knows what is going on, but Sai Mi is a man after all, and he thinks highly of Madam Chen Yao. If you let him stay by his side, I'm afraid …" Nie Shuangcheng hesitated and said softly.
"His cultivation went berserk in his early years, and right now he's the same as his father-in-law in the palace." Yulixiao said lightly.
