He blocked Leng Yan's first attack and the sword in his hand flew out.
The situation was not good, Situ Yao didn't have time to think too much, he just wanted to protect Su Mengyan.
Leng Yan missed the first attack, so he attacked again. Because he was betting his own body, Leng Yan's speed was very fast.
Seeing that the sword was about to pierce Su Mengyan, Situ Yao was about to protect Su Mengyan, but there was a figure that was faster than him.
The man suddenly pounced on Su Mengyan, and the next second, Leng Yan's sword followed.
"Xuan Ling." Su Mengyan shouted.
That’s right, the one who pounced on Su Mengyan was none other than Xuan Ling.
It turned out that when Xuan Ling saw Su Mengyan was in danger, he ran towards Su Mengyan regardless of everything and protected her before Leng Yan's sword.
At the same time, Bai Linyuan's sword also pierced Leng Yan's body.
Covering his wound, Leng Yan knew that his mission had failed. He failed to kill Su Mengyan in one blow, which was already a sign of his lack of ability.
Now, the more important thing is to protect yourself.
Thinking of this, Leng Yan ignored the pain of his wound, waved his hand and shouted to his friends: "Retreat."
Come as you please, leave as you please? Su Mengyan snorted coldly while holding Xuan Ling, and ordered the guards to chase him. Xuan Ling's friends wanted to stay, but when they saw Xuan Ling injured, they also chased after him, cursing and shouting.
At this time, Xuan Ling had already lost a lot of blood. Because she pounced on Su Mengyan, her back was facing Leng Yan's sword.
If she were to face Leng Yan's sword head-on, Su Mengyan didn't dare to think about it anymore. She knew that Leng Yan's sword would pierce Xuan Ling's heart without mercy.
"Xuan Ling, how are you?" Su Mengyan was extremely anxious.
Xuan Ling coughed up a mouthful of blood and gave Su Mengyan a weak smile: "I, I'm fine." He was still trying to comfort Su Mengyan.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly rolled back and he fainted.
"Xuan Ling, Xuan Ling." Su Mengyan was extremely anxious and hurriedly said, "Hurry, go back to the palace."
Upon seeing this, Situ Yao hurriedly ordered his men to return to the palace and summon the imperial physician.
Leng Yan, on the other hand, had finally escaped from the pursuit of those people, and his friends around him said goodbye to him one by one.
Yes, they agreed to help. Now, no matter what the result is, they have tried their best, and Leng Yan can't blame them for anything.
"Leng Yan will remember your help. The mountains and rivers remain unchanged. See you next time." He saluted everyone with a fist.
Everyone returned the greeting and then left one by one.
At this time, the only place Leng Yan could go was Cui Mixue. He still needed to talk to Cui Mixue about this matter.
"What? You failed to kill that bitch?" Cui Mixue stood up from the chair and asked Leng Yan in surprise.
She thought that if someone with such high martial arts skills as Leng Yan attacked her, Su Mengyan would have no chance of survival, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
Leng Yan was still injured, but Cui Mixue seemed not to notice and was only concerned about the fact that Leng Yan had not completed the task.
This made Leng Yan feel uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, he endured it and didn't say anything.
"Why are you so useless? Don't you know that you need more people? What should I do in this situation? Do you know that Su Mengyan will definitely fight back?" Cui Mixue was still complaining about Leng Yan's incompetence.
Leng Yan's heart turned cold, and he said directly: "We agreed at the beginning that once this matter is over, we will be even. Now that I have helped you with this matter, no matter what the result is, it is time for me to leave."
He was very unhappy with Cui Mixue's words, but thinking of her life-saving grace, he didn't want to say anything more. After saying what he wanted to say, Leng Yan turned around and was about to leave.
Originally, he was thinking that since he did not kill Su Mengyan this time, even if he did not complete the task as agreed before, he would find another opportunity to kill Su Mengyan.
It was Cui Mixue's words that made him think of giving up. Cui Mixue was like a greedy wolf, always thinking about taking advantage of Leng Yan.
Leng Yan no longer cared about the favor of saving his life and left directly.
"That's not what I said at the beginning. You want to leave? Why? Don't forget, I am your savior." Cui Mixue shouted behind Leng Yan.
However, Leng Yan seemed to have not heard anything, and no matter what Cui Mixue said, he didn't even turn his head.
Just like that, Leng Yan left Cui Mixue, and Cui Mixue also said that she had a powerful assistant. This matter was extremely bad for Cui Mixue.
"Your Highness, this girl is seriously injured. I can only do my best. Whether she can survive depends on her luck." The imperial physician said this in the East Palace.
Su Mengyan's hand was held by Situ Yao, and the imperial physician's words made her tremble a little.
"No, Xuan Ling will be fine. Right." As he said that, he looked at Situ Yao, as if he wanted Situ Yao to give him a definite answer.
Seeing Su Mengyan like this, Situ Yao felt a little distressed. He nodded and said, "Well, it will be okay." Just give her some hope!
Situ Yao knew that Su Mengyan didn't want anyone to get hurt because of her.
The imperial physician told them to take good care of Xuan Ling, saying that Xuan Ling might have a fever at night, but he would be fine if he could get through it.
Because of this sentence, Su Mengyan stayed by Xuan Ling's bed, touching Xuan Ling's head and hands from time to time, for fear that Xuan Ling would have a fever if she was not careful.
For the whole night, no matter how others persuaded her, Su Mengyan refused to leave. Situ Yao felt distressed and jealous at the same time.
Since when did he become jealous of a woman?
Fortunately, Xuan Ling did not have a fever all night, which made everyone feel relieved. Situ Yao came over and persuaded Su Mengyan to go and have a rest.
Su Mengyan stood up, asked someone to take good care of Xuan Ling, and then pulled Situ Yao back to her room.
Situ Yao forced Su Mengyan onto the bed: "Don't think about anything now, just have a good rest. We'll talk when you wake up."
She knew that Situ Yao was doing this for her own good, but there were some things that Su Mengyan couldn't wait for.
"Yao, who do you think was responsible for the assassination?" Su Mengyan's eyes sparkled, and she was not sleepy at all after staying up all night.
It can be seen that if he doesn't let this little woman say what she wants to say, she won't be able to sleep well.
Situ Yao sighed and thought, "Never mind, since she wants to talk, I will just accompany her!"
"I have a rough idea. I think you should have someone you suspect!"
"Hmph, the only one who wants my life is Cui Mixue. I don't believe that she didn't do this." Sure enough, Su Mengyan snorted coldly and expressed her thoughts.
Originally, she was not in a hurry to compete with Cui Mixue in wits and courage. She knew that some things were not that simple.
However, Cui Mixue had been jumping around in front of her like a clown, and this time, she almost took Xuan Ling's life.
For Su Mengyan, Cui Mixue's actions this time seemed to have touched her bottom line.
I gave her chances again and again, but she didn't know what was good for her.
