Chapter 270 Support is coming

The man in black had to guard against threats in front of him and also deal with sneak attacks from behind, and he was in a very embarrassing situation.

They were beaten to a pulp by Lin Pianran and his group, with a large number of casualties.

Lin Pianran spotted a gap in the chaos, quickly seized the opportunity to escape, and quietly withdrew.

She was like a clever rabbit that had broken free from its restraints. She leaped up in an instant and rushed towards a tall tree standing tall not far away.

Arriving at the foot of the tree, she swiftly climbed up the branches and found an excellent sniping position. Then she calmly raised her weapon, aimed at the men in black below who were ready to make a move, pulled the trigger, and a series of accurate shots poured out like a torrential rain.

But in a moment, the situation was quietly reversed. With her thunderous force, she greatly reduced the burden of the secret guards, and even gradually forced the men in black to retreat step by step, making it difficult for them to resist.

At this time, a large group of people emerged from the depths of the temple. They quickly rushed into the crowd and launched a ruthless massacre and encirclement against the group of people in black.

In the crowd, Huo Yuchen looked anxious. He rushed to Shen Xuanzhi and asked anxiously, "Where is Pianpian? Where is she? Is she injured?..."

In the interval between fierce battles, Shen Xuanzhi responded soothingly, "The county lady is fine, everything is safe. She is in a tree not far away, attacking the enemy!"

"The County Princess's archery skills are truly extraordinary! In the Great Qin Dynasty, it's hard to find anyone who can match her. She is truly unique!"

Upon learning that Lin Pianran was safe and sound, Huo Yuchen finally felt relieved and no longer had any other concerns.

His eyes flashed, and he turned his rage towards the men in black. Every move he made was filled with murderous intent, and he acted decisively and without mercy.

In this battle, Huo Yuchen seemed to have transformed into a cold-blooded and ruthless god of war, clearing away the obstacles in front of him with the force of thunder.

He was an extraordinary fighter, and when he dealt with the group of men in black, he was like a tiger descending from the mountains, unstoppable.

After only a few dozen rounds of fighting, the enemy was thrown into disarray and fell one after another. For a time, many men in black were killed or wounded, and the ground was filled with grief.

Lin Pianran looked carefully and was extremely surprised. It was actually a team led by Huo Yuchen himself, and there were also elite officers and soldiers from the Dali Temple interspersed among them. The lineup was quite spectacular.

Several forces gathered together, and the advantage in numbers was instantly apparent. Like a surging wave, they poured towards the man in black with unstoppable force.

Faced with the fierce attack, the men in black had no power to resist and could only retreat step by step. The battle situation showed a one-sided defeat.

Seeing that the situation was stable, Lin Pianran finally let out a breath and jumped down from the tree.

As soon as she approached the battlefield, Huo Yuchen seemed to have eyes on his back and caught sight of her figure in an instant.

Then, he leaped into the air a few times lightly, as swift and graceful as a cheetah hunting, and arrived in an instant, standing steadily in front of Lin Pianran.

With a gentle embrace, he easily held Lin Pianran in his arms.

He kept muttering, "Pianpian, I'm sorry, I was delayed by Prince Jing, so I didn't get your news in time."

"I'm sorry Pianpian, can you forgive me?"

Lin Pianran was very puzzled. How did this Prince Jing suddenly appear?

"How come you were held back by Prince Jing?"

Huo Yuchen felt a little guilty about his stupidity, and his eyes were wandering.

"Prince Jing said a group of suspicious people were spotted in the south of the city. They are suspected to be the villains who kidnapped the missing girls."

"I only believed his one-sided story and went with him to investigate. I didn't expect to fall into his trap and was trapped for a long time. It took a lot of effort to escape."

"As soon as I escaped, I realized something was wrong and rushed to Puhua Temple. Fortunately, you are safe, otherwise I would regret it to death..."

After saying this, Huo Yuchen slowly lowered his head and leaned lightly on Lin Pianran's shoulder.

His figure was usually straight and erect, but now he was willing to bend, leaning against her with his eyes downcast in an almost childish posture.

This scene, though somewhat incongruous and amusing, also had a unique warmth that lingered between the two.

Lin Pianran gently hugged Huo Yuchen's strong waist, and the two snuggled together tightly.

The people brought by Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran's secret guards saw that some of the men in black had fled into the cave, so they naturally refused to let them go. They chased them closely and killed them in.

Outside the cave, the scene was bleak and tragic. The corpses of the men in black on the ground silently told the story of the fierce battle just now. Several secret guards staggered among them. They were all seriously injured, and their clothes were stained red with blood.

It was a horrible sight.

In this scene of dead silence and despair, only Huo Yuchen and Lin Pianran were left standing together, clinging to each other tightly.

After a long while, Lin Pianran was the first to break the silence around them and softly suggested, "Why don't we go into the cave and take a look."

"Wait a moment before going in! I'll first lead my men to clear out all the black-clad men inside, then you can go in! This way you'll be safer..."

Lin Pianran pondered for a moment, and gradually understood Huo Yuchen's various considerations, all of which were out of his care and protection for her. Unable to bear the thought of rejecting his good intentions, she finally nodded gently and agreed to his arrangement.

"Then you guys go in first! You have to be careful. Watch out for those in black using shady tactics. They always use hidden weapons and poisons unexpectedly, making it hard to defend yourself."

After a busy day today, I am physically and mentally exhausted. It would be a good idea to take a rest and go in again after I have regained my energy and strength.

After Huo Yuchen and the rest of the men entered the cave, Lin Pianran took out a water bag and filled half a pot of spiritual spring water.

He quietly took out two exquisite food boxes from the space. One box contained several delicious snacks, and the other box contained dumplings with various fillings.

Thinking that there were still some injured secret guards outside who had been fighting with her all day and had not even had time to eat dinner, Lin Pianran simply took out another food box from the space.

No matter how much food she had, she didn't dare take it out, fearing that it would attract too much attention and expose her abnormality.

Lin Pianran quietly placed two of the food boxes next to the secret guards.

"You must be hungry too! Eat something first!"

The secret guards nodded and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, Miss."

Lin Pianran found a secluded place and quickly solved the problem of hunger.
