An official opened his eyes in a half-asleep state, and in a daze he saw several people slowly approaching the carriage where Qin Shi and Chen Yi were.

At first glance, his brain didn't react and his eyes slowly closed.

After one breath... two breaths... three breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, all sleepiness gone, and shouted, "There's an assassin!"

This shout exploded like thunder in the silent night.

Everyone was instantly awakened from their sleep, and those assassins who were approaching Qin Shi rushed forward immediately.

One of the warriors rushed forward and shouted, "Kill these soldiers and avenge our boss!"

"Revenge for the boss!"

Constable Wang and Cui Yuan reacted quickly by drawing their swords, and the sound of swords clashing rang out in the night sky.

In order not to arouse suspicion, the assassins also attacked Princess Yuehua's carriage as ordered.

Hou Changshi shouted: "Protect His Highness, protect His Highness!"

Princess Yuehua's personal soldiers immediately surrounded the carriage and fought back without hesitation when faced with the attacking assassins.

On the other hand, the officials from the Yizhou government office were no match for the death squad and many of them were killed or injured in just a short while.

Only the Jiedushi's troops could barely contend with them.

Qin Shi slowly moved to a seemingly safe place under the protection of Constable Wang, Cui Yuan, and several Dali Temple officials.

While moving, Qin Shi saw that there were about twenty men in black attacking them, and each of them was very skilled.

At the same time, he also saw Princess Yuehua raising a barely perceptible smile in the darkness.

"Sir, the two monks that Chen Yi brought are really powerful."

Cui Yuan's voice came to his ears, and Qin Shi couldn't help but retract his gaze from Princess Yuehua and look towards Chen Yi.

I saw two monks standing next to the carriage holding wooden sticks, and they expressionlessly fought off the black-clad men who rushed up one by one.

The men in black charged several times but were unable to get close to the carriage. They were no match for the two monks.

Inside the carriage, Chen Yi sat quietly with his eyes closed, as if he was not disturbed by the chaos outside.

Liu Yan, who was in the carriage, was panicked at first, but he felt relieved when he saw through the gap in the window that the men in black could not overcome the defenses of the two monks and attacked.

At this time, he was looking at Chen Yi, thinking in his heart that this monk must be a master.

Cui Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Sir, we will send you to Chen Yi's place. It is safe there."

Qin Shi nodded.

Princess Yuehua, who was far away, also saw the situation on Chen Yi's side and looked solemn.

She didn't expect the two monks to be so powerful that they couldn't be defeated by so many assassins.

Princess Wen'an said worriedly, "Mother, those two monks are so powerful. If they follow us all the way, I'm afraid they will..."

Princess Yuehua stared in deep thought. She sent out her assassins to ambush, mainly to see if there were any Tibetans in the carriage.

If everything goes well, she can also take the opportunity to get rid of Qin Shi and those people from Dali Temple.

But I didn't expect it to be like this now.

However... those two monks obviously wouldn't kill, so the situation wasn't that bad.

Gradually, the men in black began to lose and retreated step by step. After all, no matter how powerful the men in black were, they could not handle the siege of so many people.

Finally, the men in black retreated and soon disappeared into the darkness.

In this fight, although Qin Shi and his men killed five men in black, they lost twenty-three people and injured dozens.

The uninjured people cleaned up the scene, treated the wounds of the injured, checked the bodies of the men in black, and buried the dead on the spot.

Princess Yuehua led her people to Qin Shi and asked, "My personal guards only knew how to protect me just now. Does Qin Shaoqing feel dissatisfied?"

Qin Shaoqing bowed and replied, "Your Highness is able to protect yourself, I am very lucky! If you encounter danger again, Your Highness can also protect yourself like you did tonight."

"Qin Shaoqing is worthy of being the Shaoqing of Dali Temple at such a young age. His vision and courage are far beyond ordinary people."

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Qin Shi twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Your Highness did not show any panic in the situation just now. In terms of courage, Your Highness is even braver than me!"

Princess Yuehua's expression remained unchanged. "I believe that the personal soldiers and Qin Shaoqing that my brother has given me can protect me. Besides, what is there to be afraid of with a bunch of scoundrels?"

"Your Highness is right. They are just a bunch of scoundrels. Even if they come again, they can't hurt Your Highness and me in the slightest."

After the two sides confronted each other secretly for a while, Princess Yuehua turned her attention to the two monks, "Those two little monks are quite skilled. Qin Shaoqing, what do you think?"

Qin Shi smiled, "Yes, it's true."

"Can I ask them to protect me?"

Qin Shi declined without even thinking, "Your Highness has his personal guards to protect you, so you will be safe. Besides, those two young masters were brought by Master Chen Yi, so I can't send them around at will."

Princess Yuehua smiled and said, "Mr. Qin is right. That's all. But the journey is still long. I don't know what dangers we will encounter later. Mr. Qin must protect himself well."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I have always had good luck and will definitely return to the capital safely."

"I hope so."

In the early morning, the bright sunshine dispelled the chill of the spring morning. In Chang'an City, the red walls and golden tiles were shrouded in a festive atmosphere.

Zhuque Street was covered with bright red carpet, and people stood on both sides of the street, looking forward to it.

Today is the wedding day of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and also the annual Flower Festival of Daxia.

On the Flower Festival, people in Daxia have the habit of wearing flowers in their hair, but not everyone wants to do so.
