Princess Anle frowned slightly: "That poison has no antidote. When did you cure it?"
Ye Junfei smiled gently: "Guess."
Princess Anle: "..."
What's there to guess?
He raised his hand, preparing to have Ye Junfei strangled right there.
But just as he raised his hand, a sharp arrow came flying from the side, shooting straight at Princess Anle's heart.
Ye Junfei's lips curled slightly, and his peach blossom eyes, which had been as warm as the spring sun just moments before, instantly turned as cold as frost.
That bright red mole, at this moment, was as vivid as fresh blood, alluring yet cruel.
Yu Zhan, who was not far away, saw this scene and clutched his chest, saying, "Holy crap, this is a monster! A monster that bewitches souls!"
Ye Junfei glanced at her with a slight tilt of his eyebrow, and she immediately smiled at him.
He smiled back, and with a swift movement of his sword, a flash of white light appeared, slid the throat of a guard blocking his way.
Blood spurted out, both beautiful and cruel.
With Ye Junfei's devilishly handsome face and his exquisite smile, there was a kind of beauty that was cruel to the point of being perverse, extremely dangerous, yet captivating and alluring.
Qingyuan reacted quickly and pulled Princess Anle back, but even so, the arrow still hit Princess Anle's arm, causing him to wince in pain.
Qingyuan shouted loudly, "Protect the princess!"
Not only that, but many arrows were also shot at Princess Anle's guards from a distance.
Those archers had excellent aim; they never missed.
Princess Anle's guards who were even slightly slow to react were immediately shot, and many fell to the ground.
In an instant, the situation completely reversed.
Yu Zhan, who was watching the commotion from the sidelines, was stunned for a moment, and then wanted to applaud.
She had already realized that this was both a trap set by Princess Anle for Ye Junfei and a trap set by Ye Junfei for Princess Anle.
The fact that Ye Junfei could make such an arrangement shows that he had already seen through the disguise here. He used himself as bait to lure Princess Anle here.
Ye Junfei needed both courage and determination to prepare for this event.
This man is not only handsome, but also incredibly resourceful, extremely capable, and incredibly audacious; everything about him perfectly aligns with her aesthetic standards.
However, she also knew clearly that this man was not someone she could control, and she admired Lin Xiuyan even more in her heart.
Lin Xiuyan is amazing for daring to like a man like that and even making him fall in love with her!
Yu Zhan also noticed that the archers hiding in the shadows were not using ordinary bows; their range far exceeded that of ordinary bows and arrows.
Yu Zhan clicked his tongue twice, genuinely praising, "That posture, that skill, that ability—it's truly amazing!"
"No wonder Ye Junfei was able to set up such a scheme in such a short time and return safely from the capital to the Prince of Pingnan's residence."
"Having returned to the Prince of Pingnan's residence for half a year, he was still not deposed and even showed signs of gaining a foothold."
The strategist was also taken aback by this scene and whispered, "The heir of the Prince of Pingnan seems to be quite a character. General, why don't we choose him?"
Yu Zhan shook his head: "Although he is very capable, this kind of person is extremely dangerous."
“If we follow him, and he goes crazy one day, we’ll all have to die with him. We need to reconsider this matter.”
While they were discussing this, Ye Junfei's sword had already moved.
He killed people with great efficiency, without pursuing elegance, yet he exuded a carefree spirit, and his every move was full of beauty.
But every time he moved, one of Princess Anle's guards fell to his sword.
He seemed to hate the sight of blood splattering, so he was very keen on slitting throats.
In his hands, that ancient-looking sword seemed to come alive.
The sword flashed like a rainbow, its killing intent chilling; wherever its blade pointed, none could withstand its sharpness.
The archers in the distance worked seamlessly with him, and whenever Princess Anle's guards appeared in his blind spot, they were immediately shot dead.
This was the first time Princess Anle had truly witnessed Ye Junfei in action, and she realized just how skilled Ye Junfei was.
Moreover, the seamless cooperation between Ye Junfei and his guards completely exceeded his expectations.
Princess Anle's guards also tried to shoot back at Ye Junfei's guards, but their bows and arrows were completely unable to hit Ye Junfei's guards.
All the guards were out of their firing range!
This discovery nearly drove Princess Anle's guards to despair.
This means that Ye Junfei's guards can kill them, but they cannot kill Ye Junfei's guards!
That's a crucial realization!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qingyuan immediately protected Princess Anle and retreated.
Princess Anle saw Yu Zhan as she retreated and said coldly, "What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and help!"
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Zhan rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Princess Anle: "..."
Yu Zhan's strategist, working seamlessly with her, immediately helped her up, asking, "General, what's wrong?"
Yu Zhan, of course, did not answer. The strategist, with tears in his eyes, said, "Princess, my general is seriously injured. Fearing that something might happen to you, he came to protect you despite his injuries."
"Unfortunately, her body has reached its limit and she can no longer protect the princess!"
Princess Anle looked at Yu Zhan, who was lying on the ground, pale-faced, and he didn't believe a word of the strategist's words.
He said coldly, "Since that's the case, now that I'm in danger, why don't you have someone kill Ye Junfei?"
The strategist said with a mournful face, "These soldiers only obey the general's orders."
"I'm just a lowly strategist. Even if I ordered them to go, they wouldn't!"
After he finished speaking, he pretended to say to the soldiers next to him, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and protect the princess!"
Yu Zhan's soldiers were all familiar with this kind of thing; they knew the routine and the formula.
They all know how to do this question, so just pretend you don't.
So all the soldiers stood there, doing what they were doing, pretending not to have heard the strategist's words.
Princess Anle: "..."
Princess Anle: "!!!!!!!"
He looked coldly at Yu Zhan lying on the ground and said in a cold voice, "General Yu, you fainted at just the right time."
The strategist said solemnly, "The general is worried about the princess and is devoted to her to the point of death!"
Princess Anle wanted to swear!
Shameless Yu Zhan!
By this time, he knew that Yu Zhan was unreliable, and immediately retreated quickly under Qingyuan's protection.
However, during their retreat, many of them were killed by Ye Junfei's archers. (www.cascoo.net)
Of the nearly two hundred guards Princess Anle brought, only forty or fifty remained when they withdrew from the town, a devastating loss.
Even Princess Anle herself suffered setbacks during her escape, losing a shoe, having her hair ornament broken off, and being hit by several arrows.
Once they were sure they were safe, Princess Anle was in a terrible state.
