The driver frowned and immediately turned the carriage around.
He then added, "Your Highness! I will escort you and the Princess to your temporary residence!"
They already knew that the guards at the Prince's Mansion had been replaced. Just now, Yu Nanqing's men secretly took care of the guards at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, so that when Yu Nanqing returned to the Prince's Mansion, he could enter directly and act as if nothing had happened.
If Emperor Yuanhe hadn't intervened, things would have unfolded in this way, given only the actions of the eldest princess's people.
Yu Nanqing said that the guards who were replaced were not ordinary guards. They had just dealt with the guards when soldiers came and surrounded the Prince's Mansion. There must be Emperor Yuanhe's spies lying in wait in the shadows.
The whole world belongs to the emperor, let alone the small capital city.
Just then, with another "whoosh," an arrow suddenly shot in through the car window, aiming straight at Su Wanyan's head!
Yu Nanqing's eyes flashed with cold light, and his inner strength surged instantly. Just as the arrow was a hair's breadth away from Su Wanyan's head, Yu Nanqing caught the entire arrow in mid-air!
With a flick of his finger, an invisible force seemed to arise from nowhere within the carriage. With a whoosh, the arrow shot out of the window with lightning speed, directly taking the life of the person hiding in the shadows along its original trajectory.
Yu Nanqing looked at the swaying curtains. The person in the shadows had locked onto Su Wanyan through the small gap in the curtains.
Seeing that this tactic was not working, the people hiding in the shadows no longer hesitated. In an instant, rows of archers dressed in black appeared on the rooftops and buildings, nocking their bows and arrows. With a wave of the leader's hand, dozens of arrows shot towards the carriage!
At the same time, many men dressed in black suddenly emerged from around the carriage, wielding their scimitars to deflect all the arrows.
The assassin was an elite bodyguard sent by Emperor Yuanhe, while Yu Nanqing's side consisted of remnants of the Yuanhe regime that had been wiped out three years prior.
Even so, they never thought of giving up on Yu Nanqing.
A man in black lifted the curtain and hurriedly knelt down to report: "Your Highness, the carriage is too conspicuous. The best way is to abandon the carriage and flee."
“Okay.” Yu Nanqing didn’t say much, and glanced at Su Wanyan: “Take her away first.”
"Huh?" Su Wanyan looked at the two pages that were already full of writing, but it wasn't finished yet. There were so many acupoints on the legs, and the order of acupuncture was also important.
If only we had cell phones now, she could record the conversation while she was running away.
"Your Highness, please forgive me!" Without hesitation, the man in black stepped forward and picked up Su Wanyan.
The moment she was picked up, Su Wanyan quickly stuffed the prescription into Yu Nanqing's arms: "Take it! Yu Nanqing, live on! If I die, find someone to decipher my prescription! It will definitely cure your leg!"
The prescription is nearing completion; only the last two sets of acupoints are missing. Ancient physicians were incredibly skilled, and she believed that someone would be able to complete the prescription!
Yu Nanqing stared intently in the direction Su Wanyan had left, his tightly closed lips devoid of color. He clutched the prescription Su Wanyan had given him tightly; the ink on it was still wet and mixed with the smell of blood.
An arrow pierced through the carriage curtain, heading straight for Yu Nanqing's face. Yu Nanqing frowned and stared intently. With just a slight turn of his head, he heard a 'thud' as the arrow struck the back of the carriage wall. The tail of the arrow trembled slightly, emitting a faint vibration.
Yu Nanqing reached out slightly, coldly pulled out the arrow that had pierced the neck of the black-clad coachman, and a surge of internal energy seemed to rise from his arm. With a sudden flick, he threw it out of the carriage window, and with a 'plop', it took the life of one of the assassins.
As Su Wanyan left the carriage, the assassins in the darkness had already sent some of them to give chase. Yu Nanqing said in a deep voice, "Stop the carriage."
The speeding carriage stopped immediately.
Yu Nanqing's remaining troops, armed with curved swords, surrounded the carriage.
"All of you, go and protect the Princess." Yu Nanqing ordered in a deep voice from inside the carriage.
Upon hearing this, the men in black surrounding the carriage were all taken aback. They looked at each other warily, unsure of what to do.
If everyone goes to protect Su Wanyan, what will happen to the prince?
Besides, the prince is currently ill...
“Your Highness…” The man in black who was driving the carriage lifted the curtain and knelt in front of Yu Nanqing, trying to persuade him, but was stunned by a cold look from Yu Nanqing.
Even though he was already terminally ill, the chilling aura emanating from him still sent a shiver down his spine, as if he were plunged into an ice cave. He couldn't utter a single word.
Cold sweat unexpectedly streamed down his cheeks and chin, soaking his mask. All his words boiled down to a single word: "Yes!"
This aura was like returning to the battlefield; he had no choice but to obey, and could only obey!
At a command, the men in black guarding the carriage quickly disappeared.
The night was dark and the wind was strong, the autumn wind was chilly.
The empty street was left with only a horse-drawn carriage swaying restlessly. After a while, even the horse settled down, making the already quiet street even more silent.
The lanterns hanging on the carriage swayed in the wind, creating an eerie atmosphere.
The assassins sent by Emperor Yuanhe also fell silent for some reason, observing the carriage from the shadows.
Su Wanyan has already left, and now only Yu Nanqing is left in the carriage, with no guards around.
On the dark rooftop, someone whispered, "Boss, he's all alone now. This is a great opportunity. Let's rush up and take him down!"
The man called 'leader' scanned his surroundings with sharp eyes. Just moments ago, the two sides were fighting, but now only Nan Qing remained. It was hard for him not to suspect that this was some kind of conspiracy.
However, regardless of conspiracy or not, the decision to go ahead will always be made.
He raised his hand and waved it, and several cold lights flashed under the moonlight, rushing towards the carriage in unison.
Just as they were about to reach the carriage, it suddenly exploded with a loud "bang," and a tremendous internal force sent everyone flying. As if their internal organs had been severely damaged, a mouthful of blood gushed from their mouths.
The carriage was shattered into pieces, but Yu Nanqing sat unharmed in a wheelchair, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.
The leader was shocked. Yu Nanqing had been bedridden for three years and was barely recognizable as a human, yet he still possessed such skill.
He dared not slacken his efforts for a moment. Yu Nanqing was isolated and helpless at this time, which was a good opportunity to take his life. As long as he took his life, the emperor's worry would also be resolved!
He commanded in a stern voice, "All of you, charge!"
On the other side, Su Wanyan was being carried in the arms of the man in black and moved very quickly. She felt the wind rushing towards her face like slaps, making it impossible for her to open her eyes.
