C806 806 Rescue

As he gave the order, swords flashed on the public road. A dozen men in black, swords in hand, charged at the carriage.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

The guard sitting on the carriage held a long saber in his hand as he used the back of his hand to block the incoming sword tips. Then, he leapt into the air and kicked over the people in front of him.

He jumped off the horse and stood in front of the carriage, trying to stop the man in black.

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, she looked at the scene in front of him coldly.

In the next second, a strong surge of inner force rushed out from the carriage, sending the people who were about to open the curtains far away.

"He's injured, yet he still dares to use such strong inner strength. Isn't this courting death?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the scene in front of him, and muttered softly, inside the carriage, an intense coughing sound came out, it was as though the sound could make all of her internal organs cough out.

She knew that if those black-clothed men attacked again, the people in the carriage wouldn't have any chance to fight back.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing the other black clothed men attack the carriage again, the guard who was trapped by the black clothed man panicked.

He turned and rushed into the carriage, but was stopped by the men in front of him.

Inside the carriage, the person forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood. The bloodstains on the corner of his mouth had yet to be wiped away. Feeling the killing intent getting closer, he slowly closed his eyes.

"I still couldn't escape …"

The violent coughing sounds continued to resound. However, the swords that were supposed to charge in did not appear for a long time.

The man in the car was stunned. When he opened his eyes, they were filled with confusion.

Someone helped him?

At this time, Liu Ruo Qing had already successfully snatched a sword from one of the black-clothed men and joined the battle.

No matter what Qin Xuan was like, if his existence could maintain the peace between Nanling and himself, and could remove the flames of war on the citizens, she had to save him.

Although the martial arts of these black-clothed men were not low, it was definitely not high quality. Liu Ruo Qing did not know how such a strong inner force warrior could be injured by this group of people.

It was just that at that moment, Liu Ruo Qing did not have much time to think, and with her help, the situation had reversed.

After the guard escaped from the encirclement, he ran to the front of the carriage, opened the curtain, and rushed in. "Your Royal Highness, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

He shook his head and pointed to the outside of the carriage. He wanted to ask something, but due to the severe coughing, he did not have time to ask.

The guard understood what he meant and immediately said, "That lady was standing on the official road. When she saw that we were trapped, she decided to save us."

Qin Xuan nodded his head, closed his eyes and did not ask any further questions, but waved his hand towards the guard, signalling him to go down.

Seeing that Qin Xuan was fine for the time being, the guard jumped down the horse carriage again. Just as he was about to help, he saw the sword in Liu Ruo Qing's hand piercing straight into the black clothed man's throat, in that moment, blood splattered everywhere.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground. Not a single one of them was still alive.

He was startled for a moment, then suddenly recovered and walked to Liu Ruo Qing, "Thank you, Miss, for saving me."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, she threw away the sword in her hand and left, but was stopped by the guard, "Miss, your body is dirty, why not follow us into the city? Miss, we have not repaid you for your kindness."

The guard had some thoughts in his mind, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt was obviously trying to kill the prince. The prince was severely injured, and as long as he did not return to the mansion, these people would definitely chase him down. Who knew if there were people ambushing him in the capital.

He had been escorting the prince all the way back to the capital and had also suffered from a lot of injuries. If he met some other experts, he would probably not be able to do much.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't know what this guard was thinking, she only listened to him talk. She looked at her dirty prison uniform and the blood stains on her face when she killed someone, and thought that she shouldn't have been walking like this all the way. Following them, being able to eat a bit of food, change her clothes, and get some instructions to return to the Easternum was good as well.

Thinking this way, she nodded, "Okay."

Seeing that Liu Ruo Qing agreed, the guard's eyes lit up: "Young miss, please."

"Yes." She jumped back into the carriage, but did not go in. Instead, she sat with the guard on the carriage frame outside.

Hearing the cough in the carriage, Liu Ruo Qing frowned and asked: "Qin Xuan's injuries are serious."

The guards and the people in the carriage were stunned, not because Liu Ruo Qing said that he was injured, but because he could actually call out the name of the person inside.

How could ordinary people know the name of a prince?

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the person in the carriage. It was unknown if it was due to caution or suspicion.

However, he didn't ask anyone to stop the car, nor did he make a sound.

If this girl had also been sent by the opposite party, she wouldn't have needed to help him when the master and servant hadn't been able to fight back at all. Unless she had other motives.

If she had any other motive, she would not act rashly now. She might as well wait until the time was right before watching the situation unfold.

When the guard saw that his master did not react, he remained silent and did not reply Liu Ruo Qing. Instead, he pulled the carriage towards the city gate.

Duke Yuan Palace –

When he returned to the mansion, the gatekeeper was shocked to see the guard covered in blood. "Guard Qian, what happened? What happened?"

"Your highness is injured, hurry and get a doctor."

"Yes."

Liu Ruo Qing had already jumped down from the carriage, when she turned her head, the Qian Guard had already lifted him up, and helped him down from the carriage.

Even though this was the first time Liu Ruo Qing had met Qin Xuan, she couldn't help but be a little surprised when she followed them into the city.

This was the same feeling she had when she first heard of the Emperor Uncle Yan Yuan being so young.

This Crown Prince's uncle, King Duanren, was much younger than she had imagined.

If it wasn't for her current mood and unsuitable environment, she really couldn't help but be curious. In this era, wasn't it popular to be a royal uncle at such a young age?

Even though the Qin Xuan in front of him was severely injured, and his face was completely pale, he was still unable to conceal his handsome appearance. His eyes were like a wounded wild beast that could not let down its guard, and was obviously sharp and threatening.

His thin body was wrapped in plain silk clothes, and he wore a warm white brocade robe that didn't conceal his dazzling aura in the slightest.

However, his facial features were not as sharp and resolute as Yan Yuan's. On the contrary, they had a bit more of a devilish yin energy to them, so he didn't look very mother.

At the same time that Liu Ruo Qing was sizing up Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan did not look at her. His wide outer robe was like a gust of wind, sweeping past Liu Ruo Qing's eyes.
