Chapter 59 Attacked, the Boy?
"Princess Chang Le, don't be angry. Da Guo Mian may be cold, but his heart is warm. He has never disappointed us."
“Princess Qinghou, don’t be afraid. If His Majesty wants to marry you off to Cheng Huai Niang, I will go and snatch the bride away.”
After catching up with the two, Choi Shin-ki said breathlessly.
“Yes, yes, my brother is very strong. You didn’t see how hard he’s worked in the barracks these past two days. He trains with the soldiers every day, and his training intensity is no less than anyone else’s…” Fang Yi’ai chimed in from the side.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Lizhi pushed the two away: "You are in cahoots with Wei Shuyu. We don't want to talk to you."
"No, please... Big brother really put his heart into it."
The two of them clung to each other like glue.
"Then tell me, has Wei Shuyu read any poems or essays these past few days?"
Li Lizhi squatted down and questioned the two of them.
"No."
Fang Yi'ai blinked.
"fraud!"
Li Lizhi stamped her foot and left even faster.
*Smack*
Choi Shin-ki slapped him on the head.
Before Fang Yi'ai could even get angry, Cui Shenji angrily retorted, "Are you stupid? Princess Chang Le's fiancé is Changsun Chong, and Changsun Chong is going to have a literary contest with Da Guo!"
Fang Yi'ai was dumbfounded.
It seems like I've betrayed my older brother.
"Princess Chang Le, actually, my elder brother's rhetoric is quite good..."
Fang Yi'ai hurriedly chased after him to try and salvage the situation.
The two kept trying to explain, but Li Lizhi and her companion ignored them and occasionally scolded them.
Just then, a veteran suddenly shouted, "Something's wrong!"
"Old Wu, what do you mean?" the captain of the eighth team asked.
Choi Shin-ki and the others looked at the veteran in confusion.
"It is morning now, and there are so many people coming and going in Chang'an."
"On the way here, we saw many caravans and ordinary people."
"Look at the road now, there's not a single person on it."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers' expressions changed drastically.
They all drew their weapons and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.
Fang Yi'ai and Cui Shenji also became serious.
If something happens in Changle or Qinghe, no one can bear the consequences.
"Sister Lizhi, what they're saying isn't true, is it?" Li Jing asked timidly.
"Jingjing, don't trust them."
"A man's mouth is a liar's mouth; not a single word of truth comes out of these men's mouths."
"I'll tell my father when I get back that they bullied us."
Li Lizhi was still angry and didn't care about anything else.
She proudly tossed her head and continued walking forward.
"Uh-huh."
Li Jing largely agreed.
I stole a glance at Choi Shin-ki...
He must have told too many lies to have such a slip of the tongue.
"Princesses, please stop."
The captain of the eighth team blocked their way: "For the princess's safety, please wait a moment while we scout out the situation ahead before proceeding!"
Li Lizhi wanted to scold him.
But upon seeing the burly captain of the Eighth Team, he swallowed his words.
It seems... waiting a little while won't hurt.
"Old Wu, Old Qing, you two go and check along the road first."
The captain of Team Eight waved his hand.
"yes."
Two veterans stepped forward, drew their weapons, and slowly advanced.
"Old Chen, go and inform the young general."
After hesitating for a moment, the captain of the eighth team still felt it was necessary to inform Wei Shuyu of this news.
If the princess is alright, he will at most be punished.
If anything happens to the princess, all of their lives will be in danger.
"yes."
As the captain of the eighth squad issued his orderly orders, the remaining soldiers surrounded the men and protected them in the middle.
Even though we haven't seen the enemy, we still need to be wary of being attacked from the shadows.
"Princess Qinghou, don't be afraid, I'm here, I won't let you be harmed by the fragrance."
Choi Shin-ki slapped his chest repeatedly.
"Princess Chang Le, don't worry, you are Gao Yang's older sister, I will definitely protect you!"
Fang Yi'ai made a solemn promise.
It was as if Gao Yang were his wife.
Just as the two were busy flattering each other, a familiar voice rang out in the distance...
"Run! Run!"
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw Old Wu and Old Qing running towards them in a panic...
Behind them followed a group of masked men wielding knives.
*Pfft*
As a blade pierced through Lao Qing's chest, Lao Qing shuddered and died instantly!
"Retreat, retreat quickly..."
Upon witnessing this scene, the captain of the Eighth Team hurriedly ordered a retreat.
"You all go first, we'll stay behind to cover the rear!"
The captain of the ninth team stepped forward, looking ahead with a solemn expression.
"Take care of yourself."
The captain of the eighth team didn't hesitate and quickly led Choi Shin-ki and the others to retreat.
"Everyone, line up, prepare for battle!"
The captain of the ninth team looked ahead and saw about fifty masked men. He should be able to cover their retreat.
Ping ping pong pong...
Soon, the two sides engaged in fierce combat!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and many people died in no time.
Li Lizhi finally showed a look of panic and pulled Li Jing away at top speed.
"etc……"
They had only been running for a short while when Fang Yi'ai suddenly spoke up.
"If no civilians are coming from the direction of Chang'an, and they are lying in ambush ahead, does that mean that no one in our rear is heading to Chang'an, or does that mean there are also ambushes on the roads behind us?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks.
Even the captain of the eighth team frowned, feeling a sense of unease.
If that's the case, then they've been surrounded.
"What do we do now?" Li Lizhi asked hastily.
"Run to the sides and uphill!"
The captain of the eighth team gritted his teeth and said, "There are many people going in and out of Chang'an. They won't block our way for long. As soon as the news gets out, people will come to our aid!"
This time, the captain of Team Eight ignored the nonsense from Li Lizhi, Cui Shenji, and others, and immediately set off.
The lives of those people were of utmost importance; he simply didn't have time to explain.
"kill!"
Just then, shouts of battle came from afar.
Turning my head, I saw a group of masked men charging towards me with knives.
"My goodness, the oracle of the remains was right."
Choi Shin-ki didn't care about anything else, grabbed Lee Kyung's hand and ran up the hillside.
Fang Yi'ai glanced at Li Lizhi...
If I hold Princess Chang Le's hand, will my older brother beat me up?
Chang Le was also stunned.
The soldiers were all on guard at the front.
Choi Shin-ki protects Lee Kyung.
All I have by my side is Fang Yi'ai, dressed in red and green...
Seeing Chang Le looking at him, Fang Yi'ai grinned and returned a simple, honest smile.
But to Li Lizhi, that smile looked utterly lewd.
Wei Shuyu's younger brother.
I visit Wanhua Pavilion every day.
It's not a good thing...
"Princess, you must retreat immediately!"
As the masked men drew closer, the captain of the Eighth Team roared, "We'll stop them!"
"kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the captain of the eighth team charged out...
The masked men were numerous, and his small team of ten had no chance of holding out.
On the contrary, launching a preemptive attack disrupted the opponent's rhythm, buying the group more time to escape.
"Princess, run away quickly!"
Fang Yi'ai grabbed Li Lizhi's hand, saying that now was not the time to worry about such things.
"good."
Li Lizhi turned around, but she had only walked a short distance when she tripped over a stone and fell to the ground.
She rubbed her knees and saw blood seeping through her white robe.
"You guys go first."
Li Lizhi glanced back, a resolute look appearing on her youthful face.
"ah?"
Fang Yi'ai was stunned.
"Their target is me."
Li Lizhi calmly analyzed, "If we run together, none of us will be able to escape."
"If I distract them, you will have a chance to survive."
Bullshit.
How am I supposed to explain this to my elder brother if you die?
How can I explain this to His Majesty?
Just as Fang Yi'ai was about to forcibly take Li Lizhi away...
Rumble...
In the distance, billowing dust rose as hundreds of fine horses galloped toward them.
"Is that my eldest brother?"
Fang Yi'ai looked up in surprise, but his face quickly darkened.
The eldest brother went there on foot; it's impossible that he had hundreds of fine horses.
And the leader was a teenager!
