Chapter 543 King Yun is Shot by an Arrow
Lin Yu instinctively shielded Jiang Fenghua behind her and whispered, "Don't worry about anything later, I'll protect you as you leave."
Ever since they learned that the South was not safe, they had been carrying swords. She gripped the hilt and made as if to draw her longsword.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice, "Take good care of yourselves."
Bai Yuhan and Shen Bingxuan also hid behind, "Father."
Prince Yun gave the order: "Yun Guards, listen to my command! Protect the Sixth Prince and Xuan'er as they leave. Leave a few men behind to cover my retreat."
Instantly, the guards of the Yunwang Mansion stepped forward and shielded everyone behind them. "Yes."
Meng Yao also brought hidden guards with him. Seeing that the pirates dared to appear openly, everyone was on high alert, ready to protect the sixth prince and help him break through the encirclement at any time.
Meng Yao knew that it was Yang Guaizi who kidnapped Master Wu, robbed all the jade and jewelry in the jade shop, and wantonly murdered the shop's customers. He also knew that it was Yang Guaizi who set fire to the Yun Prince's Mansion and that they killed the Yun Princess...
His hatred rose from the bottom of his heart, and he wished he could kill Yang Guaizi with his own hands. Meng Yao was so angry that he could only utter a few words, "Yang Guaizi, is that you?"
Knowing they couldn't escape, Yang Guaizi became extremely arrogant: "Lord Shen personally escorted me to Licheng, and you don't recognize me after only a few days? If I hadn't been tricked by that bitch, I wouldn't have been caught by you. I'll settle this score with you all today."
He stared at Jiang Fenghua and the others with a mocking look in his eyes: "Leave all the women alive. Take these beautiful women back for the brothers to have a taste."
Jiang Fenghua glanced at Yang Guaizi and the others, and said coldly, "These people on the other side are useless except for their fierce appearance. Don't be afraid of them. They're just a bunch of cowards who only know how to bully the weak." He dared to stand openly because he had a powerful backer.
Yang the Cripple said, "You stinking woman..."
The next moment, Meng Yao, wielding a large knife, suddenly attacked Yang Guaizi.
Yang Guaizi quickly hid behind his men, shouting, "Fire arrows! Kill him!"
Jiang Fenghua then instructed Bai Yuhan and Shen Bingxuan, "Hide yourselves well. If you fall into the enemy's hands again, you may not be able to be rescued."
Bai Yuhan had learned her lesson; she held tightly to Shen Bingxuan, assuring them that her family's guards would protect them.
In an instant, the entire scene was filled with chaos as several groups joined the battle. Meng Yao's martial arts skills were not weak, but he had completely lost his mind. Even though he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, he was determined to cut off Yang Guaizi's head.
Jiang Fenghua and Lin Yu worked together seamlessly, repelling several pirates in succession. Lin Yu cursed, "They really are all show and no substance."
At this moment, the pirates lit fire bombs and began to drop them everywhere. Although they had the upper hand, they were afraid of the fire bombs and had to retreat, and for a time they were at a disadvantage.
Seeing that Meng Yao was still relentlessly pursuing Yang Guaizi, Jiang Fenghua really didn't want to see him get blown up by the pirates. Meng Yao was completely out of his mind right now. She said to Lin Yu, "Cover me."
After saying that, she went to help Meng Yao, and Lin Yu quickly went to cover for her.
Yang Guaizi lit another fire bomb and threw it at Meng Yao, yelling, "I'll blow you up!"
At the critical moment, Jiang Fenghua forcibly pulled Meng Yao to a safe area: "Are you out of your mind? Your father is still in the palace, his life hanging in the balance. Don't you want to avenge your mother? Is it worth dying like this?"
With an arrow in his shoulder, Meng Yao was already in a killing frenzy. "I'm going to kill him. I must kill Yang Guaizi with my own hands."
Meng Yao did not kill Yang Guaizi, but he was ruthless in his attack, and Yang Guaizi was terrified hiding among the pirates.
Just then, a carriage came running from a distance. "Master, get in the carriage quickly."
Seeing that they were their people, Lin Yu urged Jiang Fenghua and Meng Yao to get into the carriage first.
Seeing that Meng Yao was already injured, Jiang Fenghua had someone put Meng Yao on the carriage first, saying, "You should send them away first."
"Ah Ruan, you get in the carriage too, I'll cover the rear." Lin Yu saw that Jiang Fenghua hadn't gotten into the carriage.
At this moment, King Yun said, "Take Xuan'er away, I will cover your retreat."
When Yun Wang was young, he had retired from the battlefield. A mere group of pirates was no match for him. Just now, they were at a disadvantage because the other side had crossbows and fire bombs.
Soon, Bai Yuhan and Shen Bingxuan boarded the carriage under the protection of the guards.
“Father,” Shen Bingxuan called out.
The King of Cloud said coldly, "Never mind my father. I am the King of Cloud. They dare not harm me."
No matter what, he was a meritorious official of the Southern Kingdom and had done nothing wrong in his life. Even if the eldest prince and the fourth prince stood in front of him, they couldn't do anything to him.
"Miss, you go first." Prince Yun noticed that Jiang Fenghua had not boarded the carriage.
Jiang Fenghua seemed not to hear his voice, and seized the opportunity to rush in front of Yang Guaizi and stop him directly.
The next moment, the tip of her sword was pressed against Yang Guaizi's chest, her eyes flashing with a cold light, and she said in a cold voice, "Your death is near."
Seeing that she had come to him willingly, Yang Guaizi suddenly took out a fire bomb and prepared to light it to scare Jiang Fenghua. Jiang Fenghua was also very brave and was not frightened at all. With swift and smooth movements, she directly severed Yang Guaizi's tendons, and the fire bomb rolled to the ground.
Only then did Yang the Cripple realize he was afraid. His knife was clearly no match for her sword. "Heroine, spare my life! We have no grudge against each other. From now on, you go your way, I'll go mine, and we'll have nothing to do with each other..."
Jiang Fenghua was too lazy to waste words with him, and pierced his neck with her sword. "I've told you, even thieves have their code of honor. You shouldn't have killed innocent people indiscriminately. Go to hell and atone for the people you killed!"
She didn't want to waste her breath talking to this kind of person. He had killed so many innocent people; it would be heartbreaking to see him alive.
Blood spurted from Yang Guaizi's neck. He died without understanding why the woman in front of him was so ruthless. He had only cursed her a few times.
He was arrogant and domineering, killing without blinking an eye. Now he was killed without blinking an eye by a woman. How could he be willing to accept that?
Lin Yu said, "We need to leave here as soon as possible."
When King Yun saw that she had killed Yang Guaizi, he was dumbfounded. He had originally planned to kill Yang Guaizi to avenge his wife.
King Yun had considered how many of these pirates were real pirates, and whose agents had been planted among them to kill them.
King Yun also did his best to hunt down the pirates. The pirates suffered more than half of their casualties in their fierce resistance. Seeing that the bandits were about to be at a disadvantage again, King Yun was determined to slaughter them all.
Just then, government reinforcements arrived, led by Vice General Ma, who had once shared life and death with him.
King Yun thought that Vice General Ma had come to his aid. Just as he lowered his guard, the soldiers suddenly shot an arrow in King Yun's direction, the arrowhead aimed directly at him.
At the same time, Deputy General Ma shouted, "Everyone, capture the pirates and chase... Ah!"
Jiang Fenghua saw the arrow shot by Prince Chaoyun and shouted, "Prince Chaoyun, be careful..."
Before her voice had even faded, soldiers shouted for arrows to be fired, and several arrowheads shot towards the Prince of Yun.
