"Yan Yuan, you …"
Yan Yuan did not dare to scare her anymore, walked to her side and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Qing Er is still alive, how can I possibly be willing to die?"
To the side, although Xia Tao Hua had long heard of the deep affection Yan Yuan had for the Crown Princess Jing, it was still the first time she had personally seen such a soft and doting expression on the face of a person who was rumored to be aloof and proud, and she could not help but be startled.
However, she was secretly glad that she did not fall in love with Yan Yuan. Otherwise, she would definitely suffer for her entire life.
Just from this glance, she knew that no one would be able to receive even the slightest bit of Yan Yuan's love from Crown Princess Jing. Fortunately, what she wanted was not Yan Yuan, but the power and influence Yan Yuan possessed.
Before Liu Ruo Qing could react to the meaning behind Yan Yuan's words, she heard the old man say: "Young Madam, don't worry, this brat won't die.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan blankly. The sword attack he rushed over to help him block couldn't be fake, the blood that flowed out from her back had drenched her clothes. How could it be as easy as uncle said?
Liu Ruo Qing frowned, she could not bear to see her like this, so she went forward and pulled her hand closer to him. Tightly wrapping it around his hand, she said: "I'm really fine, I was just trying to scare you, who told you to lie to me for so long?"
His tone sounded very relaxed, as if the wound on his back was really just a terrifying one. In reality, it was just a superficial wound.
After staring at Yan Yuan's face for a while, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Qi Feng walked in front of Yan Yuan and asked.
Ye Man was willing to spend money to have An Yu chase after them. He would probably continue to spend money to send everyone in the top ten of night gate over.
and the others might be able to deal with him, but the top ten assassins in the night gate were all powerful warriors.
Whatever Qi Feng could think of, Yan Yuan and the others could think of as well.
Thinking about Huiyang City's miserable state, Yan Yuan furrowed his brows and said: "We must find a way to find Ye Man and kill him no matter what."
Ye Man was hiding very well now, even if they found him, there would probably be a lot of people protecting them. It wouldn't be that easy to kill him.
Moreover, if Ye Man released those monsters, they probably wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Leave this place and go to the county magistrate."
At this time, Yan Yuan had already put away the gentleness of expression on his face when he was facing Liu Ruo Qing, and his face had once again returned to its usual cold expression.
Although Yan Yuan's injuries were not life-threatening, everyone knew that the killer's sword was aiming for his life, how could he not be ruthless?
It was pure luck that the Prince had charged forward like that, disregarding his own life, and successfully avoided that fatal blow.
Based on their understanding of the prince, in order to protect his wife, there was no time to think about how to avoid the crucial points.
Thus, when they thought back to it now, they could not help but feel fear.
They didn't dare to delay any longer. After leaving some silver taels at the old man's house to compensate for the damages to his house, they quickly headed to the county magistrate's office.
"Your Highness, I, Wu Cheng, do not know of your arrival. Please forgive me."
Huiyang City County's judge, Wu Cheng, saw that the handsome face before him was missing a bit of color. She did not even need to ask, just from the aura of the man before him, she knew that he was the current King Jing, Yan Yuan.
"No need for formalities."
Yan Yuan's voice was indifferent. While enduring the pain from his wound, he walked inside.
However, he was surprised at how fast the people from the capital were. When he heard that there were monsters in the Huiyang City, not only did he not avoid them, he even sent his Royal Uncle over.
When she looked at Yan Yuan, she couldn't help but calm down from the fear that had been weighing down her heart these past few days.
At this time, he had naturally noticed Yan Yuan's injuries, and upon thinking about those terrifying monsters, County Official Wu's face turned white, "Your Highness, you're injured, could it be that those monsters …"
"Your highness was only ambushed by an assassin. County Official Wu, do not be nervous."
Qi Feng spoke coldly, interrupting County Official Wu, and looked at Yan Yuan: "Your Highness, first bandage your wounds properly."
When County Magistrate Wu heard this, he immediately reacted and took the lead to walk to the front. "Your Highness, this way please."
Under the lead of County Magistrate Wu, the few of them headed towards the backyard of the county magistrate court.
The backyard was located in the main courtyard, it was normally occupied by the family of the County Magistrate, but now that Yan Yuan and his men were here, they did not even clean up the guest rooms, causing County Magistrate Wu to perspire profusely from anxiety, he immediately ordered his subordinates to clean up the guest rooms.
Seeing him like that, Yan Yuan's face softened a little, "Official Wu, at this time you don't have to care too much, just pack a few rooms and come out."
"Yes …" "Yes, thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
Yan Yuan did not say anything else. County Official Wu was considered a hard-working person in the Huiyang City. To be able to govern a county that was not considered rich, County Wu was definitely a meritorious service.
Furthermore, being in this kind of situation, this Official Wu did not abandon the citizens and secretly left. Just based on this, Yan Yuan was quite satisfied with him.
After all, as the head of a county, it wasn't difficult for him to escape from the Middle Sun County.
After the servants of the magistrate court cleaned up the guest rooms, Yan Yuan and the rest stayed.
"All of you, leave."
After wrapping the wounds up, Yan Yuan ordered the few people guarding inside the house.
Hearing that, everyone left the stage, and when Yan Yuan saw that Liu Ruo Qing had followed them out, his eyebrows immediately furrowed in displeasure.
With a stretch of his long arm, he brought back Liu Ruo Qing who was walking at the back with him at the waist. He took the opportunity to lift his leg and shut the door.
Liu Ruo Qing did not react for a while, and subconsciously exclaimed as she was carried by Yan Yuan.
Above his head, Yan Yuan's low and displeased voice sounded, "Where are you planning to abandon me?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, then she realised that she was no longer a Bull Guard. Maybe because the Bull Guard had been around for a long time, she subconsciously wanted to obey Yan Yuan's orders, but when Yan Yuan asked them to leave, she instinctively walked towards the exit.
When she raised her eyes, she met Yan Yuan's gaze that was filled with dissatisfaction, as well as the image of her that was reflected in her eyes.
Her lips curved up slightly, but she didn't pull away from his embrace. Instead, she took the opportunity to lean into his embrace, extended her arms and tightly hugged Yan Yuan's waist. Her face habitually rubbed against his chest.
Her provocative actions unavoidably made Yan Yuan take in a deep breath of cool air. On his lower abdomen, a wave of fiery qi and energy started to rush upwards uncontrollably.
