Princess Anle was wearing a veil because of the injury on her face.
Even through the veil, Lin Xiuyan could still feel the coldness in Princess Anle's eyes. (cascoo.net)
Lin Xiuyan had only met Princess Anle twice, but she already knew that Princess Anle was the kind of person who was extremely difficult to get along with, with a capricious temperament and ruthless actions.
There's generally no reasoning with this kind of person. She fooled Princess Anle yesterday, but she probably won't be able to fool her today.
Ye Junfei saw the small round ball in Lin Xiuyan's hand and recognized it as the one he had seen in the carriage, so he asked her, "Can I have a few to play with?"
Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "You really can't touch this!"
Ye Junfei asked her, "Why can you touch it, but I can't?"
Lin Xiuyan replied, "You'll find out later."
Princess Anle was annoyed to see the two arguing over a small ball, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere around them.
He snapped, "Shut up!"
Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You can threaten me all you want, I'm just saying what we're doing, it's none of your business!"
An arrow shot towards her, but she shook her bundle, and the arrow was sucked onto the bundle.
The archer guard: "..."
Princess Anle: "..."
What's going on?
Lin Xiuyan pulled the arrow off the bundle and handed it to Ye Junfei, asking, "Can I use this to kill the person who shot me just now?"
Ye Junfei took the arrow she handed him and said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he threw the arrow over his shoulder, and it pierced the throat of the guard who had just shot it.
Princess Anle: "!!!!!!!"
Lin Xiuyan clapped her hands and said, "Your Highness is truly wonderful!"
"With you here, I no longer have to worry about them shooting arrows at me!"
Although she was skilled at making weapons, she did not want to expose the repeating crossbow that she had used to kill the enemy at the Lin residence to Princess Anle at this moment.
Ye Junfei's lips curled slightly: "I also think I'm great."
Princess Anle's expression darkened upon seeing this, and she said coldly, "Lin Xiuyan, you're too arrogant!"
Lin Xiuyan ignored him, simply tossed two round, ball-like objects in front of him, and calmly said, "You're surrounded!"
Princess Anle thought she had misheard: "I'm surrounded?"
"Lin Xiuyan, are you out of your mind? You're the one who's surrounded right now!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "Princess, you can't judge things by appearances alone."
"Based on my years of experience fighting, fighting is never about who has more people and who wins."
Princess Anle sneered: "In my opinion, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Junfei and said, "Ye Xiu, I'm giving you one last chance."
“Kill Lin Xiuyan now, then marry me, and I will give you a way out.”
Lin Xiuyan's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
Ye Junfei smiled gently and said, "I've heard those words many times over the years."
“Back when I was in Beijing, I might have made some compromises.”
"Now that we've arrived in Liefeng Prefecture, I will no longer make any compromises."
He looked at Lin Xiuyan as he said this: "Not to mention, she is my beloved. Even if I die, I will not let her be harmed."
Lin Xiuyan never expected him to say such a thing at this time.
Although she knew he might have said that on purpose to provoke Princess Anle, her heart still skipped a beat when she met his affectionate eyes.
Princess Anle sighed and said, "The defense map you gave me last night couldn't save Lin Xiuyan's life."
"Since your feelings for each other are so deep, then I will grant your wish!"
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand slightly, and all the archers were ready.
All the arrows were aimed at the two men; once the arrows left the bowstring, they would be riddled with arrows.
The two of them, however, stood there calmly as if nothing had happened.
Ye Junfei asked Lin Xiuyan, "Are you scared?"
Lin Xiuyan shook her head: "It's just a small matter."
Princess Anle: "..."
These two are about to die, yet they still can't stop being all lovey-dovey. It's infuriating!
He raised his hand again; if he lowered it, all the arrows would be shot at Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei.
Just as he lowered his hand, the thing Lin Xiuyan had thrown in front of him exploded with a loud bang.
I don't know what that thing was made of, but when it exploded, all sorts of iron pieces and needles flew everywhere.
The instant the thing exploded, Lin Xiuyan opened her bundle, took out something, and quickly spread it out to shield herself and Ye Junfei.
Ye Junfei heard a series of clanging and banging noises, along with several screams and Eunuch Yu's shout: "Protect the princess!"
At the same time, the guard who had been clinging to the wall, looking like he was about to turn them into pincushions, screamed and fell off the wall.
Even though Ye Junfei was very knowledgeable, he was still somewhat shocked to see Lin Xiuyan like this.
Because he knew that those guards were carefully selected by the royal family, and each one was an elite among elites.
They wouldn't fall off the wall unless they were pushed to the limit.
He suddenly remembered the dark things Lin Xiuyan had thrown on the wall before she came in.
Lin Xiuyan put away the thing blocking their way, and Ye Junfei saw that the two guards who had been blocking Princess Anle had been blown beyond recognition.
Princess Anle also had some wounds on her body, and her clothes were stained with blood.
Lin Xiuyan winked at him and said, "I told you, I was prepared."
"I've said it before, that thing is dangerous and shouldn't be played with."
Ye Junfei: "..."
This was the second time he had truly witnessed how terrifying the things she made could be!
He originally thought the crossbow from last time was already extremely powerful, but he only realized now that this sphere was no less powerful than the crossbow.
Lin Xiuyan crossed her arms and walked to Princess Anle's side, saying, "Princess, do you now believe the fact that you are surrounded?"
Princess Anle looked at her in shock and asked in a cold voice, "What was that just now?"
"You want to know?" Lin Xiuyan's voice trailed off a little as she smiled slightly. "Then we'll trade Xu Qianting for it."
After she finished speaking, she pulled a short knife from her leggings and gestured at Princess Anle, saying, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour."
“If you can’t deliver Xu Qianting safely to me, then I’ll have no choice but to kill you.”
Princess Anle looked extremely unwell.
He was overjoyed when he received the defense map of the palace from Ye Junfei last night, feeling that this was a golden opportunity sent to him by God.
He had Ye Junfei bring Lin Xiuyan into the city lord's mansion, but his real intention was to kill them.
He feared that Ye Junfei had other plans, so today he felt that he had laid a trap for them.
The reason he was here was to watch Lin Xiuyan die with his own eyes.
But before his men could even make a move, the vast majority of them inexplicably lost their fighting ability, and the two guards protecting him were blown to pieces!
