"Brain circuitry?"
"- It means that one's thoughts are unfathomable."
"Okay! Anyway, as long as you're alright."
Ye Qingcheng nodded and hummed in agreement.
A moment later, however, she fixed her beautiful eyes on Qin Mohan and parted her fragrant lips slightly.
"Qin Mohan, if today, Father Emperor forcibly takes you out of the palace and then detains me and tortures me, what will you do?"
"I will gather all the forces in the capital, and even at the risk of offending my father, I will force my way into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and take you out of the palace."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan answered without any hesitation.
His answer instantly moved Ye Qingcheng deeply.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingyu, who was in her arms, felt even more favorably toward Qin Mohan.
"Mother, he did a great job today!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng chuckled, looked down at Ye Jingyu, and nodded: "Yes! He did perform quite well. So, will you forgive him?"
Ye Jingyu looked at Qin Mohan and said arrogantly, "Let's observe for a while longer before making a decision."
Ye Qingcheng chuckled again after hearing this.
Qin Mohan smiled and shook his head: "You little..."
hiss!
Before Qin Mohan could finish speaking, the horse suddenly startled, neighed, and began to jump wildly on the spot, as if it were about to break free of its reins.
The horses' restlessness caused the carriage to shake violently due to the strong inertia.
"Qinglong, Thirteen, what's going on?"
"Your Highness..."
Qinglong and Shisan hadn't had a chance to answer yet.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
From the bamboo groves on both sides of the official road, arrows rained down like a dense swarm, piercing the air and hurtling towards their carriage.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, hurry... hurry and get the carriage out."
Seeing this, Qinglong shouted, and then he and Shisan drew their swords, one on the left and one on the right, to block the dense barrage of arrows.
Inside the carriage.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng didn't hesitate.
Ye Qingcheng embraced Ye Jingyu, and together with Qin Mohan, they stomped their feet on the ground, bursting through the roof of the carriage and soaring into the sky, leaving the carriage.
And with their departure.
Arrows pierced through the carriage walls and shot directly into the carriage.
In an instant, the entire carriage was riddled with holes.
But that's not all.
Before Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng landed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Another volley of arrows, even denser than before, hurtled towards them with tremendous penetrating power.
The speed was so fast that it left streaks of sound as it cut through the air.
"My lord, my princess, be careful."
Upon seeing this, Qinglong and Shisan shouted at the same time, and then they stomped their feet and soared into the air.
They each stood protectively beside Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng, using the blades in their hands to sweep away the incoming arrows.
Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng were not idle either; they each used their internal energy to disperse the arrows that were about to hit them.
As they parried the attack, they all landed safely on the ground.
But before they could even catch their breath...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Another wave of even denser and more powerful arrows came hurtling towards them once more.
Upon seeing this, Qin Mohan's expression turned extremely cold.
"Your Highness, you and the Princess, the young prince will go first."
Seeing the arrows becoming increasingly dense and fierce, Qinglong spoke with a solemn expression.
"That's right, Master. We'll hold them off. You should take the Princess and the young prince and go first."
Qin Mohan did not reply. His expression was cold and handsome, his eyes were sinister, and he looked at the direction from which the arrow had been shot, his whole body filled with anger.
"Your Highness, you should take Yu'er and leave first."
"No, if anyone's leaving, it's you guys. I'm staying."
At this moment, Ye Qingcheng was also enraged by the rapidly approaching arrows. Her eyes were like frost, and her voice was extremely cold. She channeled all her inner strength into her arm.
With an angry swing, he instantly unleashed a burst of internal energy.
Many of the incoming arrows were scattered.
However, the arrows were so dense, and seemed endless.
Or perhaps it's as if the other side won't give up until they're both injured or killed.
No matter how they resisted and tried to disperse them, the arrows continued to come flying in.
In no time at all.
Qinglong and Shisan were each hit by an arrow.
"Azure Dragon, Thirteen."
Upon seeing this, Qin Mohan cried out in alarm.
"My lord, we are fine. Judging from their formation, they must have brought quite a few people. You should take the princess and the young prince and leave first."
Although Qinglong was hit by an arrow, he acted as if nothing had happened, holding his long sword and constantly swinging it to sweep away the incoming arrows.
The same applies to Thirteen.
Upon seeing their injuries, Qin Mohan's initial coldness transformed into a solemn expression.
"princess…"
"Qin Mohan, you don't need to say anything more. Judging from their posture, they won't stop until we're injured or killed."
Therefore, our best course of action now is to split up and escape; only in this way can we disperse their attack.
"Alright, that's exactly what I meant too, so you take Yu'er and go first."
"I, Qinglong, and Thirteen, will hold off this wave first. Once their arrows weaken, I will catch up with you."
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly after hearing this.
This is not the time to act impulsively. If I don't leave, Qin Mohan definitely won't leave either.
If he doesn't leave, then Qinglong Thirteen is even worse off. Both of them have been hit by arrows, and if they linger any longer, they will probably lose their lives.
