At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves and chaotic footsteps came from outside the temple, instantly breaking the tranquility of the rainy night!
"Bang!"
The door of the dilapidated temple, which was not very sturdy to begin with, was suddenly knocked open!
A dozen men in black clothes with fierce eyes rushed in, the steel knives in their hands gleaming coldly in the reflection of the campfire.
They were the assassins sent by Zhou Dequan and Wang Pan. They actually caught up with Yin Yao and the other two before the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion!
Yin Yao was shocked and stood up suddenly.
A cold light flashed in Bingbing's eyes, and she subconsciously blocked Yin Yao behind her.
In order to prevent and induce Yin Yao from going to Shuozhou, Bingbing took on the task assigned by Wang Tiezhu and got close to Yin Yao.
Naturally, there are more than ten elite Yebushou soldiers lurking around. As long as Bingbing sends a signal, they will immediately appear.
However, what Bingbing didn't expect was that there were rebel spies disguised as merchants in the ruined temple.
She decided to take advantage of the situation to dissuade Yin Yao from going north.
However, in addition to the rebel spies, a group of mysterious men in black also came.
These mysterious people had obviously long since recognized the identities of Yin Yao and Qing Luan as master and servant. The leader swept his gaze like a hawk, instantly locking onto Yin Yao: "That's her! Take her away!"
Two men in black immediately jumped out and pounced towards Yin Yao.
But suddenly, a figure flashed, and the scarred man and his five men intercepted the man in black: "Brother, you are too unkind. We have already set our sights on something, and you can just take it away as you say? Have we agreed?"
When the leader of the men in black and others came in, they saw the man with the scar and his group.
Seeing that they were dressed like businessmen, he didn't pay any attention to them.
As for Bingbing, they only treated her as Yin Yao's maid and ignored her existence.
"If you want to live, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!" The leader of the men in black pointed a knife at the man with a scar and warned loudly.
"Haha, are you deaf? Don't even think about taking the person we are targeting away." The man with the scar said coldly.
"Do we have to take it away today?"
"Then ask the swords in our hands if they agree." The man with the scar drew his sword, and the five men beside him also drew their swords.
"Looking for death!" The leader of the men in black said coldly, "If they are hindering us from doing our work, kill them first."
In a blink of an eye, a dozen men in black surrounded the scarred man and his gang and started attacking them without saying a word.
A dozen men in black and six merchants were fighting each other.
The sound of swords clashing and shouts echoed in the ruined temple.
Yin Yao looked at the flashing swords and flying blood and flesh in front of him, his face turned pale and he could hardly breathe.
She liked to wield spears and sticks, and she also fought with the guards of the palace, often beating them forcing them to flee in panic.
But what she didn't know was that the guards in the palace were all giving in to her, so Yin Yao only learned some fancy moves but thought she had unparalleled martial arts skills.
Yin Yao had never seen such a bloody scene since she was a child. She and Qingluan huddled together and hid behind Bingbing.
"Follow me and get out of here first!"
Bingbing calmly watched the two groups of people fighting in front of her and spoke in a low voice.
The rebel spy stepped forward first, thus saving Ye Bushu from having to take action in the dark.
In this situation, Yin Yao naturally chose to leave with Bingbing, who seemed to be less harmful.
How could a woman eat both of them?
Yin Yao and the other person immediately followed Bing Bing and while the two sides were fighting, they slowly retreated towards the temple gate.
"Damn it! They're trying to get away! Chase them!"
The black-clad leader and the scarred man stopped fighting at the same time and surrounded Yin Yao and the other two.
"Run towards the horse!" Bingbing shouted in a low voice.
"You bitch, who are you to steal our ideas?"
When the man with the scar saw Bingbing coming in alone, he just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
In order not to alert the enemy, Bingbing and Yin Yao were allowed to stay together.
But now, when the man in black appeared and the two sides were fighting, Bingbing actually took Yin Yao away, which made the man with the scar suddenly wake up.
It turned out that this woman also wanted to take Yin Yao and the other person away.
Soon, the black-clad leader and the scarred man took two steps at a time and led their men to encircle Yin Yao and the other two on both sides.
Just as they were about to close in, suddenly a burst of dense crossbow arrows broke through the air!
Knock knock knock!
A dozen crossbow arrows were shot at the black-clothed leader, the scarred man, and their accomplices.
Several screams pierced the night sky, and three or four people fell to the ground.
The leader in black and the man with a scar hurriedly waved their steel knives to knock down the arrows.
Immediately afterwards, a dozen strong men in light armor and agile movements shot arrows while shouting, "Protect the princess!"
The people who came were the guards from Prince Jin’s Mansion.
When Prince Yinxi of Jin learned that his daughter had run away from home, he immediately divided the 200 guards in the mansion into 20 teams to search for her.
One of the teams heading north searched for two days and finally found Yin Yao's trace in Xinzhou.
They continued to follow and report to King Jin.
All the guards in the palace knew the princess' temper.
Even if they showed up together to stop the princess, they might not be able to do so.
They are also guards who receive salaries, so there is no need to fight so hard. It would be better to wait for Prince Jin to persuade them to come back.
However, they discovered that there were suspicious people in the mountain temple where the princess was staying. When they were deciding whether to approach, they heard the sound of fighting in the temple.
They showed up in a hurry and found Yin Yao and the other two being chased.
Without hesitation, the guards took out their crossbows and fired at the people chasing Yin Yao.
Princess?
The people on the scarred man's side were suddenly confused.
They were obviously two young scholars, how could they become princesses?
Just as they were distracted, another wave of arrows from the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion came shooting towards them.
The leader in black rolled over to avoid the attack, but all the men under the scarred man were shot to death.
The man with the scar was alone and had no choice but to run for his life.
He rolled towards the bushes nearby, avoiding the arrows and disappeared into the darkness.
"You...you are the princess?" Bingbing pretended to be surprised and asked in a low voice, "You are not a scholar!"
When Yin Yao saw the palace guards appear and call her Princess, she knew her identity had been exposed and the guards had recognized her.
Since the guards from the palace were chasing her, her father would soon know her whereabouts.
Soon after he left Jinyang and entered Xinzhou, he was caught up by the guards of the palace.
Thinking that she would be caught soon, Yin Yao had no choice but to ask Bing Bing for help: "Miss, there is no time to explain now. Please find a way to help the two of us escape."
"Aren't they your guards?" Bingbing asked deliberately, "Wouldn't it be safer to follow them?"
"I ran away from your house secretly. I don't want to go back. Please help me, young lady." Yin Yao continued to beg.
Bingbing saw the fish took the bait and immediately agreed:
"Okay! Since we're both women, I'll help you this time! Come with me!"
