Those men in black were like dead soldiers, not saying a word. Seeing that they could not escape, they swallowed poison and committed suicide.
The guards Jiu Yin and Qi Yue handled the situation very well and stopped it in time. Using threats and inducements, one of the men in black confessed on the spot.
"The Sixth Princess ordered us to do this. She wants He Yanxi and the girl beside him to never return to Lin'an. We are also following orders. We have no choice..."
Hearing this, Li Yancheng sneered, narrowed his eyes, and a strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Li Yuling, huh..."
The man in black who had spoken looked at him and said quickly, "I've said everything I need to say. Can you please let us go?"
Li Yancheng gave him a cold look and turned around with his hands behind his back.
The next moment, there were a few "puffs" sounds, and the men in black groaned a few times. They all opened their eyes wide, fell to the ground in horror, and fell silent.
The ground was bright red.
When Yan Xi rushed over and saw this scene, his body seemed to be frozen.
Li Yancheng, expressionless, saw him, his hands hanging down, somewhat bewildered, and stepped forward to block his view. "They were all sent by Li Yuling."
Yan Xi nodded thoughtfully.
Li Yancheng asked cautiously, "Are you... scared by me?"
Yan Xi pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
He just couldn't react for a moment.
Although he had experienced several dimensions, he rarely saw such bloody scenes.
That person protected him too well.
He rarely encounters such a situation in this dimension.
Li Yancheng thought he was scared, and his heart sank. "I'll be more careful next time."
Yan Xi looked up, looking at him who was a little nervous, and was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, "No, Your Majesty's approach is right."
He is not a saint. People have come to his door to kill him. If he still thinks Li Yancheng's behavior is cruel, he must be crazy.
Li Yancheng's heart trembled after finally seeing him smile at him after such a long time. He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "That's good."
Li Yancheng asked Jiuyin and Qiyue to clean up the body, and then brought Hongleng and the others back.
With them, Yan Xi and his group finally felt a little relieved.
But soon, Yan Xi encountered a problem.
Li Yancheng was a bit shameless and insisted on sleeping in the same tent with him, saying that they didn't bring a tent and they had to squeeze in.
"Your Highness, how about this? I will sleep in the carriage and you will sleep in the tent."
Li Yancheng's face darkened immediately. "No matter what, if another group of assassins comes and I'm not by your side, what will you do?"
Yan Xi blinked, his face calm: "Your humble servant knows martial arts."
"That won't work. You were just beaten with a stick not long ago, and your wound hasn't healed yet. Now your hand is injured. How can you resist so many agile assassins?"
"I can handle it."
"You can't handle it."
"I can really handle it."
"I said you can't bear it and you can't bear it, go to sleep!" Li Yancheng frowned, pressed acupoints to stabilize him, and domineeringly put his arms around his waist and held him in his arms.
Yan Xi, who was caught off guard and frozen, said: "..."
Yan Xi smelled the clear masculine scent, and her eyebrows twitched. "Your Majesty, can you please let me go?"
Li Yancheng closed his eyes, breathed shallowly, and did not move.
Yan Xi couldn't move and was forced to nestle in his arms, sighing helplessly.
He didn't dare to sleep, for fear that this guy would touch him while he was asleep.
It's not that he is narcissistic, but this person is indeed very similar to that person in some aspects.
For example, they are all scoundrels and hooligans.
Yan Xi tried hard to keep his eyes open, but in the second half of the night he could not bear it anymore. His eyelids became heavy and began to twitch, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Li Yancheng wanted to pretend to be asleep, but he was exhausted after traveling all the way from Jinzhou without sleep. As he was pretending, he fell asleep with the person in his arms, feeling extremely at ease.
The next morning, when Li Yancheng woke up, he found Yan Xi leaning obediently in his arms, with her hands around his waist, sleeping soundly.
He stared blankly down at the young man, his breathing slowing down unconsciously, his whole body stiff, not daring to move for fear of waking him up.
However, the opposite happened. Someone outside fell down and screamed instinctively.
Yan Xi frowned in her sleep, her crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes slowly opened.
Perhaps because she was too sleepy, her clear eyes were filled with moisture and her expression was dazed. Her black and white eyeballs moved slightly, and her gaze fell on him blankly, and she just looked at him quietly for a few seconds.
The look was so innocent and naive that Li Yancheng's heart beat uncontrollably faster, his breathing became short, and he didn't dare to say a word for fear of disturbing this beautiful moment.
Yan Xi blinked his eyes, and the person in front of him gradually became clear from a vague outline. For a moment, he felt as if this scene was familiar, and almost recognized the wrong person again, especially when he saw that pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, his heart was empty.
When he realized that the person was not him, Yan Xi quickly withdrew from his arms, not knowing where to put his hands and feet, and looked at a loss. "This humble servant was not very restful in his sleep. It was not intentional. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Seeing him return to his polite demeanor, Li Yancheng's fiery heart felt like someone had poured a basin of cold water on it, completely freezing. He looked at him with some hurt, "Yanxi, why do you have to talk to me like this? I don't like you always dealing with me in such a polite manner. I would rather you be angry with me than be polite to me. What exactly do you want me to do so that you can treat me like before?"
