Hearing the footsteps, Yelu Sager raised his eyebrows and smiled: "My people will be here soon. There is no point in fighting any further."
Nan Xing slapped Yelu Sag with one palm, pushing her back two or three steps, and said coldly: "That may not be the case!"
Nan Xing had just finished speaking when screams suddenly rang out from outside.
Yelusag's face changed, but Nanxing didn't give her a chance to react. He took this opportunity to curl his fingers into claws and attack Yelusag's throat. Yelusag was distracted by the movement outside. Although he turned his head in time to avoid the fatal blow, Nanxing left three deep scratches on the side of his neck.
The force of Nanxing's claw attack was different from that of an ordinary woman's. If Yelu Sag had not been lucky enough to avoid the carotid artery, she would have probably bled to death. Now, even if she avoided the vital parts, her shoulder was soon stained red by the blood flowing from her neck.
In just this brief moment, the footsteps and screams outside stopped, and there was no movement at all. Yelusage took a few steps back, clutching the wound on his neck, a chill rising from the depths of his heart.
Nanxing had no intention of pursuing the victory. She just stood there, separating Yelu Sage, Ren Yaoqi and Concubine Yun, staring at Yelu Sage without any emotion.
Yelu Sager did not dare to attack again. The wound on her neck was deep, and reckless violence would only accelerate the bleeding. In addition, something seemed to have happened outside. Even if she could defeat the woman in front of her, she might not be able to escape from the woman's helpers who were ambushing outside.
With her excellent hearing, Yelu Sag had already judged that the dozen or so guards who followed Xiao Jingyue in were probably in great danger. The fact that more than a dozen strong guards were eliminated in such a short time meant that the number of enemies was definitely more than one or two. However, she could not hear any strange breath, which meant that the helpers who suddenly appeared from the other side were better at martial arts than her.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside and someone walked in.
Everyone in the room turned to look, and Ren Yaoqi's eyes were fixed on the door, and then he saw Xiao Shunhanhuan walk in.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
Xiao Shun bowed to Ren Yaoqi and Concubine Yun, then said, "Princess, I advise you not to act rashly. Although I may not be able to defeat you in a one-on-one fight, do you believe that if you raise your hand even half an inch, your throat will be pierced?"
Yelusage's raised hand froze, then she opened it with a wry smile. A diamond-shaped hidden weapon fell to the ground as she moved.
Xiao Shun smiled slightly: "The princess is so sensible of current affairs. It is really a happy thing for everyone."
Yelu Sag knew that it was unwise to resist at this time, so she obediently let Nanxing subdue her.
Xiao Shun then stepped forward and bowed again: "I am sorry that I am late and frightened the Dowager Consort and the Young Madam."
Even at this moment, Ren Yaoqi could still smile calmly at Xiao Shun: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xiao. You came just in time."
Tongxi and Tonghe also rushed in at this time. Seeing that Ren Yaoqi and Concubine Yun were both fine, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and helped clean up the mess in the room.
Ren Yaoqi saw that Xiao Jingyue and Yelu Sager were tied up, so he asked Xiao Shun, "What's the situation outside?"
Xiao Shun lowered his head slightly and replied, "Xiao Jingyue's men have surrounded the palace. Although we have fewer people, they can't rely on Zhaoning Palace. Now that Xiao Jingyue is seriously injured, the people surrounding the palace have lost their backbone and are not a threat."
