Jiang Yimian merely curled her lips, finding it somewhat amusing, but her expression remained calm. She continued drinking from the wine jug in one hand while fighting the soldiers with the long sword in the other.
They seemed completely unfazed, easily dealing with those people, killing them one by one.
However, in reality, she didn't have enough strength in her hands, so she could only hide in the corner and wait for the soldiers to come forward and attack her one by one.
Seeing that she remained unmoved, Aguzan angrily said, "Jiang Yimian, don't go too far. If I die here today, do you think you can leave Chuncheng smoothly?"
These people won't let you go either. Please save my life, for the sake of all the time we've been together.
After this, I'll agree to anything you say.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and the soldiers beside him seized the opportunity to continue hacking at his chest.
He hurriedly grabbed his knife to defend himself, barely dodging a slash aimed at his chest, but a long gash appeared on his arm in an instant.
Aguzan felt his entire arm weaken, but that infuriating guy remained unmoved. He was so angry that he raised his voice and said, "And the cities that Tuyuhun has conquered over the years, I will return to the Great Jin intact, and even provide compensation. What do you say?"
Jiang Yimian merely raised an eyebrow, emptied another wine jug, and finally felt her strength returning considerably. She smiled and said, "Second Prince, you must remember your word and not try to renege on your promise."
Although she hadn't fully recovered her strength, she was so grateful to see Aguzan make such a big concession that she was determined to agree, even at the cost of her own life.
Aguzan gritted his teeth and said, "Everything I have said today is true. If there is even the slightest bit of falsehood, may I die a horrible death."
Jiang Yimian simply smiled and said, "Deal."
Having said that, she raised the knife in her hand and was about to go towards Aguzan, but the maids under the table were so frightened that they trembled and grabbed her clothes, staring at her with teary eyes.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, wondering what to do with these people.
A dozen or so people carrying all sorts of strange weapons rushed down from upstairs; they were none other than Jiu Niang and her companions.
"Sister, you go and save people with peace of mind. Leave those people to us. I will take good care of them."
As she spoke, she took the whip in her hand and lashed it forcefully at the soldiers.
Although the swings were completely haphazard, they momentarily halted the movements of the officers and soldiers.
The bearded man and his companions quickly stepped forward and cleared a path, blocking the way for the maids.
Several men, armed with broadswords and double-headed axes, quickly engaged the soldiers in combat. They appeared quite skilled, clearly indicating they knew some martial arts.
Jiang Yimian was somewhat surprised. She said "Thank you" and then walked towards Aguzan with her long sword in hand.
Aguzan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that someone had finally come to rescue him.
Governor Liu, standing outside the crowd, was furious and immediately shouted, "You audacious scoundrels! How dare you obstruct the government from handling a case? Come on, kill them all here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a number of soldiers rushed towards Jiu Niang and her group.
Fortunately, those people knew some martial arts. Although they struggled to resist, their excellent teamwork prevented anyone from falling.
Jiang Yimian was relieved. With a few swift movements of her long sword, she instantly felled many Tuyuhun soldiers, and finally arrived at Aguzan's side.
With Jiang Yimian's help, Aguzan felt much more at ease, as most of the long swords that attacked him were blocked by Jiang Yimian.
As he watched his opponent swiftly bring down his blade, severing several heads, he was secretly amazed.
This person is indeed capable; he certainly didn't ask the wrong person for help.
With helpers to share the burden of the enemies around him, Aguzan had time to continue thinking. He frowned as he looked at the layers of soldiers blocking the gate not far away.
It's impossible to get out through the front door now, and the back door is probably about the same.
His gaze fell on the window in the second-floor corridor.
Since most of the officers and soldiers are in the lobby and outside the inn on the first floor, there are no officers and soldiers guarding the second floor.
His location wasn't far from the stairs. If he could find a way out among the surrounding soldiers, he could immediately run up to the second floor and escape through the window.
Thinking it over, he lowered his voice and said to the person next to him, "Go through the second-floor window."
Jiang Yimian glanced at it.
Compared to the heavy guards at the inn's main and back doors, going through the window was indeed a good idea.
But given the current situation, if she and Aguzan leave, almost everyone in the inn will die.
Aguzan's guards are one thing, they were Aguzan's men and it wasn't her place to deal with them, but Jiu Niang and her people are innocent.
If it weren't for her, Jiu Niang and the others would have stayed on the second floor like everyone else and wouldn't have come out.
They've already gotten involved in these matters, and if she leaves, these people will inevitably be used as tools for the Tuyuhun soldiers to vent their anger.
Not to mention, there's still no movement from Chenyu. Even if they manage to escape by chance, the checkpoints of Chuncheng and Tuyuhun won't let them pass easily.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Aguzan couldn't help but get anxious. "If we don't leave now, we'll all die here together."
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and said indifferently, "Didn't the Second Prince say that he would listen to me from now on?"
Aguzan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth in anger, but managed to suppress the urge to continue arguing.
If Jiang Yimian runs away alone, he will have no chance of survival.
He endured it.
Jiang Yimian just smiled and didn't say anything more, but she was a little worried, wondering how Chenyu's preparations were going.
If this drags on any longer, they really have no way out.
Just as he was thinking this, the Tuyuhun soldiers in front of him were instantly shot down by arrows that suddenly appeared. The next second, dozens of men in black suddenly appeared in the inn and started fighting with the soldiers.
Jiang Yimian breathed a sigh of relief and said to Aguzan, "You go first."
Aguzan was immediately overjoyed. Without bothering to find out who these men in black were, he grabbed his long knife and headed straight for the second floor.
Jiang Yimian felt dizzy and her vision blurred.
The initial effects of the alcohol seemed to have dissipated because of her outburst earlier. Her long sword was unsteady in her hand, and she felt somewhat unsteady and weak, with the feeling of powerlessness slowly returning.
As a long knife was thrust toward her chest, she could only dodge it in time.
Fortunately, a man in black suddenly appeared, killed the soldier with a single sword strike, and helped her run upstairs.
Seeing the men in black appear and instantly shoot down many soldiers, the bearded man and his companions were initially happy.
Unexpectedly, they saw those people protecting Aguzan and Jiang Yimian as they ran towards the second floor, and they were immediately shocked.
"Ninth Sister, those people have escaped, what should we do?"
"Will we die here?"
The group belatedly realized what they had gotten themselves into, and their initial enthusiasm was suddenly dampened, leaving them feeling cold all over.
They seemed to have been abandoned.
