Chapter 1117 Where is she!?

Amidst the deafening shouts of battle, Yuwen Ye's face was ashen, his eyes bloodshot. As the soldiers surrounded him like a pack of hyenas drawn to blood, tentatively attempting to attack him, his warhorse, startled by the surrounding murderous aura, shook its head and snorted angrily.

Yuwen Ye's expression hardened, and he suddenly grabbed the reins!

The fiery warhorse beneath him was reined in like this, and immediately let out a long neigh and reared up. Its flying front hooves kicked heavily forward, and the soldier at the front had no time to dodge. His chest was hit and caved in like tofu. He didn't even have time to make a sound before he collapsed to the ground and went limp!

The first person fell down, and those following behind immediately noticed something was wrong and all stopped in their tracks. But before the people rushing up could react to what had happened, a soldier swung his broken wooden stick and smashed it down hard on Yuwen Ye. Yuwen Ye's eyes narrowed, and as the fiery warhorse that had stood upright fell heavily to the ground, he raised his sword and brought it down!

With a loud thud, the horse's hooves slammed heavily onto the ground, kicking up a cloud of blood-stained dust.

At the same time, the soldier at the forefront let out a shrill scream and then fell backward.

Those around him instinctively stopped in their tracks, but before they could dodge, they were drenched in a shower of blood. The soldier's forehead, cheeks, and chest were cleaved open by a single blow, and the last wooden stick he was still clutching was split in two again before he collapsed to the ground.

The others were terrified by the horrific scene and scattered in all directions, screaming in horror!

As Yuwen Ye retreated, the men behind him followed and cut down the remaining soldiers one after another. Yuwen Ye gritted his teeth, endured the sharp pain in his shoulder, bent down, grabbed Wo Xue's collar, and pulled her onto his horse.

Wo Xue's eyes were already red and her face was covered in tears. As soon as the rag in her mouth was torn out, she immediately cried out, "Your Highness—"

Yuwen Ye asked, "Where is she?!"

Wo Xue felt a mix of guilt and terror, especially after just now. She had watched helplessly as the soldiers lying in ambush around her eagerly swung their spears and lances at Yuwen Ye, unable to utter a single warning. Blood was still gushing from the wound on Yuwen Ye's shoulder. She hated herself for being useless and also hated Xiao Yuan Sui's cunning. Hearing Yuwen Ye's question, she hurriedly raised her elbow and hastily wiped away her tears and snot: "The Princess Consort has been taken away by Xiao Yuan Sui!"

"What!?"

"He left me here to ambush you! Your Highness is currently—"

As she spoke, she turned her head, her gaze immediately passing over the chaotic, smoke-filled military camp, and looking towards the central command tent at the very front.

At this moment, the place is brightly lit.

Following her gaze, Yuwen Ye's sharp eyes also fell on the quiet and bright tent. While the entire military camp was in chaos, it remained orderly, like a hermit observing the primordial chaos. Then, a tall figure slowly walked out of the tent.

In the darkness, illuminated by the firelight, the imposing and robust silhouette was unsurprisingly Xiao Yuansui!

Although they were so far apart, Yuwen Ye saw him clearly at a glance, and even seemed to see his calm yet sharp gaze. Xiao Yuansui looked at everything happening in front of him without any surprise, his gaze seemingly prepared. After surveying the entire chaotic military camp, he looked at Yuwen Ye on horseback.

Their eyes met, as if sparks were flying in the air.

The next moment, Yuwen Ye saw a slender figure stagger behind him, but it was immediately covered by the falling curtain and could no longer be seen!

"As one wishes!"

At this moment, Yuwen Ye's eyes turned red.

Just then, several guards behind them cried out in alarm, "Your Highness, run!"

Yuwen Ye turned around and saw that the soldiers were gradually surrounding them.

The tent where Wo Xue was located was almost at the deepest part of the entire camp. They had fought their way here and were already at their last gasp, having lost nearly half of their men. However, they did not expect that Xiao Yuan Sui was prepared and had only used Wo Xue to set up an ambush here. Now that they had rescued her, they were almost powerless to do anything else.

Otherwise, we really won't be able to leave!

Seeing the enemy troops rushing towards them from both sides, the two guards hurriedly swung their broadswords and stepped forward, quickly beheading several people as if cutting melons and vegetables. At the same time, the neighing of warhorses rang out from the firelight ahead, and soldiers had already donned their armor, mounted their horses, and charged towards them.

Yuwen Ye gripped the Mo Dao tightly with one hand, the blood on his shoulder flowing down his clothes and gradually soaking his tiger's mouth, making his grip somewhat unsteady.

But no!

Yuwen Ye gritted his teeth and spurred his horse forward once more. His longsword flashed like lightning, and several men fell from their horses as he thrust left and right. Just as he was about to charge toward the central army tent, several soldiers suddenly rushed out from both sides, holding up a rope to try and stop his horse. Yuwen Ye was about to swing his sword to strike when a sudden sharp pain in his shoulder made him hesitate for a moment.

Just as the warhorse was about to be lassoed, a rope suddenly lashed out from behind him, striking one of the soldiers holding the rope hard in the face. A scream of pain rang out as the soldier clutched his face, blood flowing from between his fingers, writhing on the ground in agony!

Yuwen Ye turned around and saw Wo Xue gripping the rope tightly, her eyes bloodshot as she stared ahead. After pulling her onto the horse, he not only ripped the rag from her mouth but also cut the rope binding her. Wo Xue hadn't immediately discarded the rope after breaking free but held it firmly in her hand. Seeing that Yuwen Ye's long sword couldn't reach her, she immediately struck. At that moment, the rope moved like a venomous snake through the crowd, striking several soldiers one after another with sharp cracks, causing them to fall to the ground and scream in agony.

The raging fire leaped high and crossed the path.

Yuwen Ye breathed a sigh of relief—he had known about the girl's skills all along, which was why he kept her by Shang Ruyi's side to protect her in this situation. He just hadn't expected that Xiao Yuansui would take advantage of her!

After defeating several people in succession, Wo Xue said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, this servant will not be a burden to you!"

Just as she was speaking, Yuwen Ye looked up and saw several guards leading a horse to the front of the central military tent. The tall figure mounted the horse, took a long sword from the guard, and waved it. Immediately, a group of soldiers behind him stepped forward.

"kill!"

At Xiao Yuansui's command, they launched a surprise attack on Yuwen Ye's side!

I'm taking leave today.

It's a family member's birthday today. I've been busy all day and I'm too tired, so I'm taking a day off.
