Chapter 307 Something unexpected happened! Why is He Yuan here?
In an instant, these people broke up the encirclement and retreated to the street corner. If a riot broke out here, they would not let even a fly fly away.
"He Shan! Do you know that attacking His Majesty's personal guards is considered treason?!"
He Shan was not afraid. He held his spear tightly in his hand and pushed the guards back step by step. Finally, he used the tip of his spear to draw a horizontal line on the ground, which was across the street.
"Everyone, if anyone dares to cross this line and hurt my sister, He Shan, I will fight to the death!"
When the last whistle arrow sounded, they were already very close to He Zhaojun. A spy among the secret guards pushed through the crowd, panting, "Hu Yanju escaped from the prison of the Supreme Court, smashed stalls along the way, and fled towards the Shanyu Palace. He stole a horse at the street corner ahead and is now galloping towards us!"
Before he could finish his words, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Hu Yanju was sitting astride the horse, his bare feet on the stirrups. His clothes were dirty and he looked disheveled, but he galloped on without any hesitation.
He Zhaojun was holding a sword. When she saw Hu Yanju for the first time, she stabbed him in the neck and throat with the sword.
"Die, Hu Yanju!"
Hu Yanju was indeed a fierce Xiongnu general, and his horsemanship was much better than He Zhaojun's. Although he was caught off guard, he was not at all panicked. He tightened the shackles between his wrists to block He Zhaojun's sword.
With a clang, the Qingfeng Sword slashed against Hu Yanju's shackles, sending sparks flying. Hu Yanju had originally planned to use He Zhaojun's hand to cut off the shackles, but he had never imagined that there would be such a sharp sword in the world.
He Zhaojun slashed down from above, using her horse's speed, but was still parried. She was startled. In the close combat, her knuckles cracked, and blood flowed.
But Hu Yanju did not escape unscathed. The Qingfeng Sword cut through the shackles, and the sword tip also brushed past Hu Yanju's forehead. The sword tip just scratched the skin on his forehead, leaving a bloody wound, and even his eyelids were bleeding.
He Zhaojun failed to kill Hu Yanju with her first strike, so she turned her horse and swung her sword again. Hu Yanju, eager to break into the Chanyu's mansion and seek refuge with his own people, did not want to fight, so he used his old trick again, grabbing the chain to block.
He looked at He Zhaojun and smiled coldly. It was only because he underestimated her that He Zhaojun succeeded in her attack. Otherwise, she would not even be able to touch the corner of his clothes.
"Girl, if you want to kill me, practice for another hundred years!"
He Zhaojun reacted quickly, using the horse's belly to hide, but was still hit on the left arm. She felt a sharp pain and almost lost her grip on the reins.
But He Zhaojun had no intention of retreating and continued to fight with Hu Yanju. Even though the two had a huge difference in strength, He Zhaojun's hidden weapons and long swords were all out, and Hu Yanju had no weapons in his hands and could not escape for a while.
Hu Yanju saw that more and more soldiers were closing in nearby. If he delayed any longer, he might not be able to escape. At this moment, a little boy about six years old, with an innocent look on his face, was jumping and waving at Hu Yanju.
"There's no one here! Big brother, come this way!"
Hu Yanju laughed heartily, ducked his head to avoid He Zhaojun's hidden arrow, and galloped forward. Regardless, this child had been tricked by him before, having revealed the location of the Chanyu Mansion, and now he was standing by the roadside, appearing before him without a care in the world.
When He Zhaojun saw who that person was, her heart nearly jumped out of her throat. He Yuan? What was he doing?!
"Get out of the way!" Hu Yanju wanted to take He Yuan as a hostage!
She no longer cared about any plans and galloped off on her horse, desperate to catch up with Hu Yanju. No matter what, she had to save He Yuan.
Hu Yanju stretched out his long arm and was about to grab He Yuan's clothes and pull him onto the horse's back. He Zhaojun's long sword also stabbed Hu Yanju's neck.
In an instant, blood appeared.
