"Neigh!" The horse let out a long neigh.
"What's wrong?" Yu Yuanzheng saw their expressions suddenly changed, and he also pulled the reins.
"What's wrong?" County Lady Xiangling also became alert, and she rode a horse to follow Yu Yuanzheng.
The four of them looked around vigilantly with sharp eyes.
"Master, there is an ambush." Chunlei felt it quietly.
"Hurry, get off the horse." Xia Yu shouted immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow flew through the air.
Just at this moment, the sound of footsteps broke the afternoon tranquility.
They saw a group of strong men dressed as bandits, holding swords, pouring out from all directions of the woods and surrounding them.
The leading man sneered, and it was obvious that this was a carefully planned ambush.
"Kill them all for me, leaving no one alive." The leading officer spoke with ferocity and ruthlessness in his tone, the spear in his hand flashing coldly in the sun.
"Master, they are from Canglan. They should be soldiers pretending to be bandits." Chunlei recognized who these people were at a glance.
Yu Yuanzheng's heart tightened, but she quickly calmed down.
She knew that being afraid at this moment would only make her more passive.
She looked at the guards around her. There was no sign of retreat in their eyes either, only firm determination.
"Can we win?" Yu Yuanzheng asked coldly.
"The soldiers are not very strong in combat, and their main focus is on fighting as a whole." Chunlei replied.
"No, we won't leave any of them alive either." After hearing Chun Lei's words, Yu Yuanzheng calmed down. At the same time, she was also very angry.
In a life-or-death situation, only the brave will win.
The battle was about to break out. Chunlei, Xiayu, Zhuiyun, Zhuyue and County Lord Xiangling's ten guards quickly formed a defensive formation, protecting Yu Yuanzheng and County Lord Xiangling in the middle.
The enemy was getting closer and closer, and arrived in front of us in just a few breaths.
The sword was swung, and a life-and-death battle quickly unfolded in the sword light.
Although Yu Yuanzheng didn't know martial arts, she was not afraid. She was surrounded by guards and was keeping an eye on everything.
However, Princess Xiangling, a gentle woman in her daily life, showed amazing courage and wisdom in the battle.
She commanded the guards to respond flexibly, not only helping them find the enemy's flaws but also reminding them.
The battle was extremely fierce. Although the soldiers of Canglan Kingdom were numerous, they were somewhat overwhelmed when facing Chunlei and his four strictly trained secret guards.
However, at this moment, a long arrow suddenly shot out from a hidden place in the woods and headed straight for Yu Yuanzheng.
But Yu Yuanzheng didn't see it.
"Master, be careful!" Zhuiyun saw it and rushed over to intercept the arrow with his sword.
But I didn't expect there would be a sequel. Another arrow followed closely behind.
He blocked that one, but there was still a third one.
"Be careful!" County Lady Xiangling was closest to Yu Yuanzheng and saw that there was a third one.
Yu Yuanzheng had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she squatted down and hid unconsciously.
At this moment, Hua Xiangling was quick-witted and she threw herself in front of Yu Yuanzheng and blocked the fatal arrow with her body.
The arrow pierced Hua Xiangling's chest.
"Hmm!" County Master Xiangling let out a painful groan.
"County Princess!" Yu Yuanzheng exclaimed in surprise.
The two fell to the ground at the same time, Yu Yuanzheng at the bottom and Hua Xiangling at the top.
The blood instantly dyed her collar red.
"County Princess!" Yu Yuanzheng cried.
She didn't expect that this seemingly weak county lady in her daily life would actually block the fatal arrow for her at the critical moment.
Seeing their master injured, the guards killed even more fiercely.
Xia Yu followed the direction from which the arrow came and chased after it after a few jumps.
Just a few breaths after he passed by, three more arrows were shot at him.
The target became clearer, and Xia Yu quickly found the person hiding behind a big tree.
There was only one person, and he wanted to draw his bow again.
Xia Yu threw a dark bullet from far away, hitting the man in the shoulder.
Before the next three arrows could be shot, Xia Yu caught up with him and killed him with a sword.
"County Princess, how are you?" Yu Yuanzheng was a little at a loss.
How could she have the right to let a county lady take the blame for her? How could she repay this favor?
"Doctor Zeng... I... am very happy to be able to take the arrow for you. I can die... but you can't die. The Great Wei needs you." County Lady Xiangling squeezed out these words with difficulty.
There was reluctance and determination in her eyes. Although it didn't hurt, she smiled, a bright smile.
She was able to block this fatal arrow for the one she loved, so even if she died, it was worth it.
Yu Yuanzheng burst into tears, suppressing the pain and fear in her heart, and turned to shout to the guards: "Kill them all, leaving no one alive, to avenge Xiangling!"
"Yes." Chunlei took the lead and answered loudly, killing one person with a single swing of the sword in his hand.
"County Princess, I will definitely save you." Yu Yuanzheng held her and lay on the ground. Even if there were more arrows, they would not be able to hit them.
There were only fourteen of us, while the enemy numbered about a dozen.
It took the guards nearly two quarters of an hour to wipe out all the enemies.
Chunlei and his four men killed the most, while Xiangling and his ten guards were far behind.
However, since they have been trained, their hatred becomes even stronger when their masters are injured.
If their master really died this time, they would have no chance of survival, so they killed each of them very bravely.
At this time, the two maids hiding in the carriage dared to get off only after seeing that all the enemies were dead.
"County Lady." The two maids saw that their master had an arrow stuck in her body.
She was so frightened that she cried without any sadness.
"Don't cry, be gentle, move your master to the carriage, and we will go back to the city immediately." Yu Yuanzheng calmed down quickly.
The two maids wiped their tears and gently helped the person up from Yu Yuanzheng.
The arrow was not pulled out and not much blood was shed.
Hua Xiangling's face was wrinkled from the pain, but she was very conscious.
Yu Yuanzheng followed him into the carriage and let Hua Xiangling rest her head on her legs.
Zhuiyun came in and cut off the arrow tail with a dagger.
"Zhuiyun, you drive the car yourself to reduce the bumps as much as possible. We will return to Luo'an City immediately."
"Yes, Master."
The guards were also injured, but none of their injuries were fatal. They quickly bandaged themselves and rode back to the city.
"Great Doctor Zeng..." Hua Xiangling raised her head and looked at Yu Yuanzheng.
"County Princess, don't say anything. I will definitely save you." Yu Yuanzheng comforted.
"I know...you are comforting me." Hua Xiangling knew how hurt she was.
An arrow pierced his chest.
"Don't worry, I won't let you die." Yu Yuanzheng choked.
She really didn't expect that this girl could do this.
A delicate and noble county lady would sacrifice herself for her. How deep must this love be?
She felt powerless again.
"I'm about to die...can you show me your face?" Hua Xiangling felt pain. She was about to die, and she didn't want to leave any regrets after her death.
"County Lady, you won't die, believe me. When you grow up, I will show you. If you are not strong and die, I will make sure you don't know who I am and die with regrets for the rest of your life."
Yu Yuanzheng deliberately provoked her to make her have a strong desire to survive.
She wanted to know who she was, so she survived.
"You are so cruel." Hua Xiangling didn't expect that even at this time, Dr. Zeng would not let her see him.
"I am cruel, so you can just live on and take it out on me in the future. You can even beat me up."
