"When will the reinforcements arrive?"
Qin Yuan frowned. It was hard to feel at ease as Jia Shixian's reinforcements had not arrived yet.
Hearing this, Yan Jiaoran turned around and smiled, like a spring breeze melting the ice and snow. "Don't worry, Master Jia is an important minister entrusted by the late emperor. He has protected me for many years. There will be no problem."
Where does this mysterious confidence come from?
If only Jia Shixian was really reliable.
The reinforcements have already arrived, why wait so long?
His intuition told him that something was likely to go wrong.
Out of caution.
Qin Yuan looked at the four-wheeled carriage behind him and said, "The terrain here is open and there is no shelter. Let's remove the carriage's panels and use them as a barrier just in case."
"Okay." Yan Jiaoran agreed without thinking.
Another stick of incense passed.
The reinforcements were slow to arrive, and the pursuers who had blocked the road earlier were also slow to arrive.
Yan Jiaoran's cheeks are as white as snow, and her bright eyes are like cold stars.
suddenly.
Wu Changbo stretched out his arm, and the extremely sharp sword flashed through the darkness like lightning.
It happened that the side of an assassin's neck was scratched, and hot blood spurted out and spilled on the ground.
At the same time, he roared with all his might: "Enemy attack!"
At this time, Qin Yuan also felt a sense of alarm. He kicked his foot and a piece of wood shot out at an angle.
Another assassin just jumped down from the eaves, and was pierced through the chest by a wooden board and fell to the ground.
For a while.
More and more assassins appeared one after another.
These assassins were more skilled than the previous ones, and they quickly entangled all the guards around Yan Jiaoran.
Only Yan Jiaoran and a few others were left, hiding quietly in the temporary barrier made of compartment boards.
In the chaos of battle.
A cold arrow avoided the baffle and headed straight for Yan Jiaoran at a tricky angle.
It was a huge longbow with a spine as wide as a palm and covered with hard cowhide.
The hand holding the bow was equally huge, with thick, bony fingers covered with beast-like mane. As the joints exerted force, the bowstring was slowly pulled and aimed at Yan Jiaoran.
With a "bang", the arrow with a triangular head flew out of the string and shot straight towards Yan Jiaoran.
Oh shit!
What are you afraid of?
"careful!"
Qin Yuan was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he threw Yan Jiaoran to the ground. The arrow grazed the end of Yan Jiaoran's hair, and she barely avoided it.
In a hurry, his head rested against something warm, soft, and elastic. It felt smooth and tender, like...
Before he could figure it out.
Whoosh whoosh——
The sharp sound of breaking through the air shook the eardrums, and the second arrow, and the third arrow, whizzed towards them.
In a desperate situation.
Qin Yuan instinctively hugged the person under him with both hands, rolled on the ground several times, and barely avoided the arrow.
This time it's clear.
I didn't expect that this stupid woman, who is very low-key, is actually quite talented!
Fortunately.
The gap in the compartment board was quickly filled by a figure.
The man held a long sword and blocked all the arrows with clang, ding, ding.
After some trouble.
At this moment, the two were very close to each other, their noses and mouths almost touching, and they froze there for a moment.
Their eyes met, both frozen in time. They were so close that they could count each other's eyelashes.
Qin Yuan saw that her expression was very different from usual. Her beautiful eyes were full of waves and she was indescribably charming. His heart was pounding as if he had been electrocuted and he could not move.
Yan Jiaoran lowered her eyes and slowly moved her gaze to his lips. Her breathing became more and more rapid and delicate.
Qin Yuan's heart was beating fast. Looking at the beauty's confused eyes, his heart became confused and his gaze fell on the red lips opposite.
But it is so tender and beautiful, as moist and smooth as fat, and extremely attractive.
“Ding ding ding—”
With a few crisp sounds, Yan Jiaoran's delicate body trembled, as if she had woken up from a dream.
Suddenly her beautiful eyes widened, and she said angrily, "Why don't you open the door yet?"
A faint blush suddenly appeared on her jade-like face.
Qin Yuan also came to his senses and stood up quickly.
I saw a figure in front of me, holding a long sword, like a handsome warrior, full of heroic spirit, standing alone in the gap of the baffle.
The ground in front of her was covered with bloodstains, arrows, and the corpses of several men in black.
Qin Yuan seemed to hear the sound of blood dripping.
The person standing across the gap must be injured.
Behind them, Murong Yanran, dressed in palace attire, her cheeks as white as snow, her eyes revealing a hint of despair, murmured, "Has the reinforcements not arrived yet?"
Murong Yanran's voice was as melodious and sweet as a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, but her tone was filled with deep sadness.
"It's all my fault, I..." Yan Jiaoran's eyes flickered with a hint of determination.
"Don't worry, reinforcements will be here soon." Qin Yuan said comfortingly.
He rubbed his forehead, it seemed that he could no longer hide his incompetence.
Just waiting is a slow death, and no one knows when the reinforcements will arrive.
It would be better to take Yan Jiaoran and run away. He could use these guards to entangle him along the way and try to break out of the encirclement.
Even if things really get desperate, I can still abandon Yan Jiaoran and run away...
Just hesitating.
The neighing of war horses came from the horizon, and several riders came galloping over, drawing their swords and joining the battle.
At this moment, the thick fog dissipated and the cold full moon finally appeared.
The moonlight shone on the riders' faces, making them particularly dazzling.
Most of their faces were tanned red by the scorching sun, but their eyes were as sharp as blades that had just been tempered.
Among these tough men, there was one with a surprisingly fair face, who looked younger than the others. The backs of his hands were covered with soft armor, and like his companions, he did not carry any heavy weapons except a long sword for stabbing from horseback.
