"General, you are a very good person. You may be a little rough, but you can be very considerate sometimes.
He also cares about the servants in the mansion. We all feel lucky to be able to serve in the general's mansion and to have such a good master like the general."
Ying Xixi said it seriously.
But her answer was not what Zhao Yuxiao wanted to hear.
"Chunhua, this is what you feel when you treat me as your master, but what if..." you treat me as a man?
"General, we're here."
Before Zhao Yuxiao could finish his words, he was interrupted by the driver's voice outside.
"We're here so soon! General, let's go down. I heard we have to climb the mountain to get up."
As Ying Xixi spoke, she lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
Zhao Yuxiao: “…”
As he got off the carriage, he couldn't help but glare at the driver.
The driver was confused. What happened to the general?
We were halfway up the mountain now and the carriage couldn't go up any further, so we had to walk up.
Ying Xixi's body is in good physical condition, so climbing mountains is a piece of cake for her.
Ying Xixi originally thought that since today was the first day of the new year, there should be a lot of people coming to burn incense.
But after climbing for a while, I didn't see many people.
"General, are we taking the wrong road? Why aren't there so many people here?"
Ying Xixi had never been to Yuantong Temple, but Zhao Yuxiao had been there before, so Ying Xixi thought that maybe he knew the way.
Zhao Yuxiao looked around, and his years of combat experience made him vaguely aware that something was wrong.
"Maybe we didn't take the wrong road, but someone deliberately asked us to take this road. Chunhua, follow me closely!"
Zhao Yuxiao whispered, grabbed Ying Xixi's wrist and ran towards the mountain with her.
As they started running, men in black jumped out from all directions and surrounded them.
Zhao Yuxiao's eyes showed viciousness. He flicked his sleeves and swung out the soft sword, stabbing it towards the man in black!
At the same time, the secret guards who were protecting Zhao Yuxiao rushed out and started fighting with the man in black!
Ying Xixi was a little confused when she saw this situation.
No, she and Zhao Yuxiao were just going up the mountain to burn incense, so why did another assassin appear?!
It's only two days, and the emperor can't wait any longer?
Or, besides the emperor, is there someone else who wants to assassinate Zhao Yuxiao?
Ying Xixi was protected by Zhao Yuxiao behind him, but Zhao Yuxiao's movements were too fast and she could hardly keep up.
She knew that she was really a burden to Zhao Yuxiao now.
"General, please let me go. I can't hold you back!"
Ying Xixi whispered to Zhao Yuxiao while trying to break free from his big hands.
"Impossible! Chunhua, this general will protect you!"
As Zhao Yuxiao said this, he raised his hand and killed another man in black.
But the number of men in black seemed endless, and Zhao Yuxiao could not kill them all, which instead consumed his physical strength.
His secret guards also fell one by one.
Zhao Yuxiao knew that this wouldn't work, so he simply pulled Ying Xixi out of the encirclement.
The two ran all the way and finally came to the edge of a cliff.
The men in black also chased after them.
Zhao Yuxiao looked down the cliff and saw that it was bottomless.
It is impossible to jump.
Then we can only try again!
Zhao Yuxiao's eyes were bloodshot and filled with murderous intent.
He held Ying Xixi in one hand and held the soft sword in the other and continued to fight with the man in black.
Zhao Yuxiao had to protect Ying Xixi and fight with the men in black, so it was inevitable that he suffered a lot of injuries.
Ying Xixi's eyes became moist as she watched Zhao Yuxiao gritting his teeth to protect her.
"System, I want weapons."
[Host, don't worry. In the current plot, the male protagonist is not in danger of life.
If the host takes out a weapon now, it will arouse the male protagonist's suspicion. 】
The system's words made Ying Xixi feel a little relieved, but even if Zhao Yuxiao was not in danger of life, she would still feel distressed when she saw the bleeding wound on his body.
Thanks to Zhao Yuxiao's efforts, half of the men in black were eliminated by him.
Just when victory was in sight, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.
A sharp arrow shot towards Zhao Yuxiao from somewhere.
Zhao Yuxiao noticed it, but he couldn't dodge it for the moment, so he could only try to block the arrow with his soft sword!
When Ying Xixi saw the arrow, she knew it was time for her to play her role.
She said to the system in her mind, "System, give me some props that won't hurt me!"
Then Ying Xixi gritted her teeth and threw herself into Zhao Yuxiao's arms, blocking the arrow for him!
[Shield ready!]
Ying Xixi only felt the arrow piercing her body from behind. Fortunately, the shield appeared in time and she did not feel any pain.
"Spring flowers!"
Zhao Yuxiao's hysterical screams came from above his head.
Ying Xixi's eardrums were buzzing from the vibration.
"How dare you! I'll kill you!"
Zhao Yuxiao roared loudly, holding Ying Xixi tightly in his arms with his big hands, and rushed forward with a soft sword in his other hand to continue fighting with the man in black.
Every move he made was like crazy, making it almost impossible for the men in black to withstand it.
The men in black wanted to run away, but since it had come to this, they might as well just kill Zhao Yuxiao and complete the mission.
So they could only continue to resist.
At the same time, arrows appeared one after another from all around and shot towards Zhao Yuxiao!
Zhao Yuxiao had to protect Ying Xixi in his arms, cut off the arrows, and guard against assassinations by the men in black.
He looked almost like a bloody man.
And he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Chunhua in his arms was vomiting blood and bleeding from the wound because of his large movements.
If this continues, Chunhua will be in danger of bleeding to death before she can even see a doctor!
After a fierce battle between himself and others, Zhao Yuxiao put Ying Xixi on the ground, protected her in front of him, and continued to resist the attacks of the men in black and the cold arrows.
Seeing this, the man in black in the dark aimed an arrow at a stone in front of Ying Xixi.
The angle was quite tricky, and Zhao Yuxiao didn't have time to block it, and saw Ying Xixi being dragged off the cliff because of the rolling stone!
This scene made Zhao Yuxiao's eyes bloodshot. He did not dodge and was stabbed in the back by the man in black.
"Spring flowers!"
Zhao Yuxiao roared and pretended to jump off the cliff.
The men in black were overjoyed to see this.
He even raised his foot to kick Zhao Yuxiao down.
But soon after, Zhao Yuxiao's secret guards arrived.
"General!"
Several secret guards quickly and accurately grabbed Zhao Yuxiao and stopped him from jumping off the cliff!
Several other secret guards also took care of the men in black.
"Let me go! Chunhua!"
Zhao Yuxiao knelt down weakly, looking at the bottomless abyss, with a dark feeling in front of his eyes.
"Spring flowers..."
Zhao Yuxiao’s eyes went dark and he fainted.
In the dark, a man in black quietly left and headed for Yuantong Temple.
He went into one of the rooms quietly.
