The archers had lost their formation; it wasn't that they couldn't defeat the assassins, but rather that the assassins were difficult to kill.

Qin Yi's cold, deep voice rang out, "I am indeed different from you; I would not joke with the lives of my subordinates."

As he finished speaking, a thunderous sound of hooves swept in from afar.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, knowing without guessing what was approaching.

Yes... the Black Knight.

He actually mobilized the Black Cavalry to the capital for Nan Nan's sake, and the troops entered the capital without imperial decree, which is tantamount to treason.

Ye Jian looked anxious. His lord was really something else. Whenever it concerned Miss Nan, he completely lost his mind and his intelligence was like that of a child.

"I'll give you a chance. You can still escape now," Qin Yi said calmly.

Suppressing his anger, Xiao Chen was about to continue spouting wild words when the person behind him suddenly delivered a chop to his wrist.

His head spun, and in the last moment before he collapsed, he gazed longingly at the moon rising over the south.

Ye Jian quickly helped the man up, and looked at Qin Yi with a hint of pleading, "I will take my lord away now, please be merciful, Prince Anzheng."

"Let's go, let's go quickly!" Nan Qianyue waved hurriedly.

Ye Jian looked at Nan Qianyue gratefully, "Miss Nan, take care."

He helped Xiao Chen into the carriage, then snatched the reins from the guard and drove the carriage away quickly.

Looking at Qin Yi's cold and resolute jawline, Nan Qianyue said, "The sound of those hooves... it sounds somewhat familiar. Like the Black Riders."

Qin Yi lifted her onto the horse, saying, "They're not Black Riders, they're the Imperial Guards."

"The Imperial Guard Commandery?" Nan Qianyue asked curiously. "Does the Imperial Guard Commandery take your orders?"

Qin Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled helplessly, "Go back and treat your foot injury first, then I'll tell you slowly."

"Let's talk as we walk," Nanqianyue said quite reasonably.

Qin Yi answered her with his actions.

He lightly flicked the reins, and the horse immediately galloped off at such a speed that all one could feel was the jolts; there was no time for conversation.

Half an hour later, Qin Yi led her to Bai Shu's villa.

He carried her off the horse and, without asking permission, scaled the wall and entered the courtyard, arriving at the room that held such intense memories.
