C928 928 Stowaway

"That's right."

"That's why we can't give Ye Man enough time to make more Gu worms. If we give him a little more time, the situation might go out of control."

"Similarly, Ye Man will not give us enough time to think of a method to deal with the monsters. He should be advising Nanling to send out his troops as soon as possible, and at the same time …"

Saying that, Liu Ruo Qing squinted her eyes and stopped, she did not say anymore, but hearing that Yan Yuan had accepted her, "At the same time, he will definitely send more people to kill you, and his people will probably be waiting here when you enter the Huiyang City."

When Liu Ruo Qing heard it, she was stunned for a moment. She looked at Yan Yuan with a grave expression, but she simply smiled and agreed.

When the people at the side heard the conversation between the two, they immediately became cautious. The evil aura that had been around them for so long in battle had caused the atmosphere in the room to instantly change.

That day, the group of people stayed at Huiyang City. As the inn was closed, they decided to stay at the old man's house.

The old man did not dare to sit with them as he passed some of the food he had brought to his family. After receiving their food, he returned to the cellar.

The old man's house was not big, and they did not plan to rest. At such a critical time, no one could calm down and sleep.

They did not know much about those monsters, so it was hard to say what their odds of winning would be. Right now, their only hope was to keep the Duke safe and sound and leave the Huiyang City.

Thinking this way, Qi Feng said: "My prince, since those monsters are in the city and Ye Man knows that we are here, he will definitely let those monsters out. You should leave this place first."

"The monsters won't be in the city."

Yan Yuan's tone was especially certain, causing the others in the room to not understand.

"We are afraid of Ye Man killing us, but Ye Man is also afraid of us killing him.

"That's right."

Liu Ruo Qing continued, "If Ye Man is not here, those monsters would be useless staying. Without Ye Man's control, they are already dead."

This time, they finally understood the reason why Yan Yuan was so confident just now.

"But …"

Qi Feng opened his mouth, but after a moment of silence, he said: "But, Your Highness, we knew he would send assassins over, why are we still waiting here?"

"Do you think those assassins won't chase us after we leave the city?"

"…"

Yan Yuan's words stopped the question in Qi Feng's mind.

Indeed, Ye Man had let the monster start a massacre in Huiyang City in order to lure the Bull Guard over. Naturally, when they entered the Huiyang City, they would be waiting in ambush here.

Even if he left the Huiyang City now, he would not be able to get rid of them.

Qi Feng frowned, these people were too anxious to come out, the hidden guards did not follow them out, but if they met with the top assassins in the martial arts world, they might not be their opponent.

Moreover, there was still a Bull Guard who did not know any martial arts that required them to split their focus to protect.

They were all thinking the same thing, and were no longer in the mood to talk.

Sure enough, just as Yan Yuan and the rest had expected, they did not stay for long in Huiyang City.

Yan Yuan stood beside Liu Ruo Qing, and said in a low voice: "Go and rest first, we'll be here."

Although Liu Ruo Qing did not have any martial arts left, and could not feel the surrounding killing intent, but from the few people's faces in front of him, she knew that there were definitely many assassins in the area.

She knew that she did not have any martial arts now, so if she did not listen to Yan Yuan, she would only implicate them. She nodded her head and looked at Yan Yuan worriedly: "Be careful then."

Yan Yuan nodded, then looked at Xia Tao Hua and said: "The two of you stay here, no one is going to run around."

"Yes."

Xia Tao Hua did not object, since the moment she had reached an agreement with Yan Yuan, she no longer had any qualifications to oppose him.

She walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side and felt a pair of eyes looking at her. She subconsciously raised her eyes, meeting Qi Feng's worried gaze.

She was stunned for a moment, and before Qi Feng retracted his gaze, she gave him a faint smile, "Be careful, Imperial Guard Qi."

Qi Feng was startled, he did not expect Xia Tao Hua to tell him this. His heart skipped a beat, and then, he awkwardly retracted his gaze.

There were still a few other brothers standing at the side. Seeing that Xia Tao Hua actually had a different opinion of Qi Feng, they started to make fun of him in their hearts, as they wanted to ease the tense atmosphere in front of them, and started to gather around him.

He heard Tian Shu say in a low voice: "Why didn't Peach Blossom Princess tell me to be more careful?"

His teasing caused Qi Feng to glare at him unhappily, and he kicked them on their knees, "Now is the time, can you stop wasting your breath?"

As he said that, he shot an uneasy glance at the silent Yan Yuan. No one knew what he was thinking in his heart.

When the others saw Qi Feng's gaze, they instantly understood what was going on, and awkwardly shut their mouths and stood to the side.

How could they tease Big Brother Qi and his woman? Although they felt that the Prince wasn't even half as gentle to the Peach Blossom Princess, no matter what, the Peach Blossom Princess was still his person.

The few of them muttered in their hearts, and carefully looked at Yan Yuan's face. Seeing that their master's expression had not changed, they heaved a sigh of relief.

The few of them did not have the time to think about other insignificant matters. The killing intent around the house became even stronger.

Soon after, the roof was pierced through and many black-clothed men came flying down from the roof with swords held in their hands.

The sharp blade in his hand reflected the light of the moon, after landing, it directly rushed towards Liu Ruo Qing's direction.

"Protect the prince."

It was unknown who shouted, but a dozen or so hidden guards, along with Qi Feng and the rest, surrounded the group of black-clothed men.

Yan Yuan did not immediately take action, but stood silently, looking at the black clothed men who were fighting with his hidden guards. From their skills, their martial arts were much higher than any previous killers, most likely being in the night gate.

Looks like, this time, Ye Man has really invested a lot, and will definitely let Qing Er die.

Yan Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly as an ice-cold and dangerous aura gathered in the depths of his eyes.

Just when he was about to make his move, another person entered the room. Compared to those assassins who were surrounded by the dark guards, the person in front of him had a more solemn and murderous aura.
