Wu Ge had found it quite amusing when Lin Xiuyan used those words to retort to Ye Qingwan.
Now that she's using these kinds of words to criticize him, he feels a bit speechless.
Lin Xiuyan said calmly, "I'll borrow your clothes for a moment."
Without waiting for Wu Ge's reply, she cut a line on Wu Ge's outer garment with a knife.
With another forceful tug, she tore off a large strip of cloth.
Wu Ge: "!!!!!!!"
Is it really okay for his heir's wife to act this way?
Ye Junfei glanced at him and asked, "You're unwilling?"
Wu Ge immediately replied, "Yes, yes! I'm very willing!"
Lin Xiuyan's lips curled slightly. Sure enough, whether it was Wu Dao or Wu Ge, they were both utterly timid in front of Ye Junfei.
Wu Ge was thinking of Wu Dao again. If Wu Dao were here, he certainly wouldn't need to take the hits.
He said softly, "I wonder how Wu Dao and the princess are doing."
A flash of murderous intent crossed Ye Junfei's eyes: "Qingwan should still be alive, but Wudao is hard to say."
Ye Qingwan is still alive and can be used to lure them out, while Wu Dao is just a guard and will likely be killed.
The moment those words were spoken, everyone's spirits dampened.
Lin Xiuyan clenched her fist: "If the princess is still alive, we must find a way to rescue her."
"Don't be too pessimistic. Wu Dao might still be alive. After all, he's always so cheeky. People like that usually live a long life."
Wu Ge laughed when he heard this: "The Crown Princess is right."
However, he was far less optimistic than Lin Xiuyan.
Because he knew that although Wu Dao looked clumsy and unreliable, he was an excellent bodyguard who was willing to risk his life to complete a mission.
Apart from their crown prince, no one would consider a guard's life to be a life.
Wu Ge and Wu Dao often tease each other, but they actually have a very good relationship. He is very worried when Wu Dao is in danger.
Ye Junfei said calmly, "As long as we don't die, they are safe for the time being."
"Ye Jingxian has made such a big show of things this time; he's definitely trying to kill me."
"Although we escaped, we are still in a very dangerous situation."
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "They could catch up at any time, we can't just sit here and wait to die."
Ye Junfei looked at her and said, "Just now, you dug pits in the manor according to the direction of the Plum Blossom Formation to cut off the horse's tracks. You did a very good job."
"I'm injured and I'm likely to have a high fever later, so I'll have to leave the whole task of coordinating the counterattack to you."
He had just noticed that she was very calm and quick-witted when faced with problems.
Having narrowly escaped death from the cavalry, even if he were to do it himself, he might not be able to do it as well as she did.
She seemed to have an extremely quick sense of danger on the battlefield and knew how to survive.
Lin Xiuyan knew that Ye Junfei's injuries were serious, and she had no other medicine on hand except for wound medicine. It was only a matter of time before he developed a fever.
She is indeed very good at surviving in these mountains and forests.
She then said, "Your injury was caused by me, so leave the rest to me."
Although Wu Ge had just witnessed Lin Xiuyan's abilities, he was still somewhat worried.
Although Lin Xiuyan was a spoiled brat who had been fighting since childhood, they were now facing the Xuanzi Battalion's army, not some thugs from Yucheng.
Although he didn't ask directly, "Princess Consort, are you capable?"
But his face was still full of worry, and he asked Ye Junfei, "Your Highness, this time it is extremely dangerous."
"After all, the Crown Princess has no experience in this area. Why don't you go through the trouble again?"
Ye Junfei leaned gently against Lin Xiuyan and said, "My injuries are severe, and I don't want to suffer any more."
Wu Ge: "..."
His eyes widened in disbelief; he simply couldn't believe that Ye Junfei had said such a thing!
After all, Ye Junfei's injuries were much more severe than they are today, yet he still managed to lead them out of the encirclement.
He was only hit by an arrow today, and it didn't even hurt his lungs or internal organs. How could he have the nerve to say that his injuries were serious?
Ye Junfei ignored him and said gently to Lin Xiuyan, "You will protect me, won't you?"
Lin Xiuyan nodded: "Yes, don't worry, we will all survive."
He was pale and looked very weak.
Lin Xiuyan felt that he was injured while protecting her, and that if his wounds did not develop into a fever after nightfall.
If she were to ask him to protect her at this point, she would be utterly useless.
Ye Junfei was very satisfied with her words and leaned closer to her, saying, "Yes, I believe that with you here, we can all survive."
Wu Ge: "..."
Wu Ge: "!!!!!!!"
Ye Junfei's appearance made him feel like he might be dreaming.
He reached up and pinched himself, a little too hard, causing him to gasp in pain. (www.cascoo.net)
Ye Junfei glanced at him slightly and immediately said, "The Crown Prince's injuries are so severe that he certainly needs to rest. I'm sorry to trouble the Crown Princess."
He didn't quite understand why Ye Junfei would make such an arrangement.
His thought was that if Lin Xiuyan couldn't handle it, he could just step in.
Ye Junfei ignored his little scheme and said to the guards, "From now on, you will all follow the Crown Princess's arrangements."
The guards exchanged glances, bowed, and said, "Yes!"
Lin Xiuyan already had a preliminary plan in mind. It would definitely not be an easy task for them to survive and rescue Ye Qingwan this time.
Because their numbers differ too much.
Although Ye Junfei still has some guards who haven't come yet, there's no need to bring them over now.
Even if all those guards were transferred here, they would only be sent to their deaths.
In her past life, she had personally led several battles where she won with fewer troops. Although none of them were as fierce as this one, they were not entirely without a chance of victory.
She first counted the number of guards:
Ye Junfei brought only ten guards with him this time, including Wu Ge.
During the escape, two people died, three were seriously injured, and everyone else sustained minor injuries.
In other words, she now has a total of eight people available, including the injured guards, five of whom are lightly injured and can be used as normal people.
She checked their weapons again; apart from a knife or sword on each of them, they had no other weapons.
To escape alive from here, weapons are essential.
This might be difficult for others, but it's no problem at all for Lin Xiuyan.
Ye Junfei had been to this mountain forest before and was quite familiar with it. He knew there was a cave ahead that would be a good place for them to hide temporarily.
In addition, the cave's location is quite unique, with a cliff above, a long slope below, and trees all around, making it a typical terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
With such terrain, they obtained weapons, provided they had enough food.
For Lin Xiuyan, she was confident that she could defend them even if they were surrounded by tens of thousands of people, let alone only a few thousand.
If the opportunity arises, she can find a chance to turn the tables on them.
