Chapter 83 Only the three of them are left
She opened her mouth silently, her pupils were infinitely dilated, the fear inside was everywhere, and her eyes reflected the flames and the assassin's figure in the sky.
"Protect the princess!" Commander Qin, who was fighting hard not far away, shouted.
A group of people rushed over and protected her behind them, but it was obvious that this group of people was no match for the carefully selected assassins. It didn't take long before the people around her fell down.
Soon another group of people gathered around.
The princess had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she turned pale.
Her mind was filled with the shadow of death, and she knew that she could not escape death today.
She suddenly wanted to meet the person who had sent her the letter during the day.
She had never been in control of her own life. She was born to be abandoned. Now she was pushed out and sent to Chiyan like a sacrifice. Everyone thought that she should obey, accept her fate, and die obediently. No one ever told her that she should live for herself and that her life belonged to her.
Now, suddenly someone told her to run away quickly, feeling that her life and this person, apart from being treated as a political sacrifice, still had meaning. She should run away and stay away from this kind of life.
When she knew someone was trying to kill her during the day, her instinct for survival made her want to escape, but then she seemed to come to her senses and felt that there was nowhere she could escape to and there was no way to escape.
She calmed down again and thought that in such a life, what difference was there between living and dying? If there was any difference, it would be better to die.
But now, at the moment when she was truly facing death, she felt unwilling from the bottom of her soul. She was unwilling to die like this. It turned out that there were really people in this world who believed that she should live!
So she seemed to look at the person who gave her a ray of light in the endless darkness.
Let her know that her coming into this world is meaningful after all.
The scene was in chaos. There were no helpless screams or panicked escapes. The two teams here were fighting quietly. The only sound was the ping-pong sound after the cold weapons hit each other, and the only sound was the dull thud of a life disappearing and falling to the ground.
Yu Jianning grabbed Shu Wan with one hand and held the sword in the other, and killed the man in front of him with the sword cleanly and neatly.
Compared with Yuwen Yan's people and Beishuo's team, who were in opposition with clear goals, the situation of Shu Wan and Yu Jianning was more serious.
Yuwen Yan wanted to protect Shu Wan and kill Yu Jianning, so his men inevitably attacked Jianning first. The people of Beishuo thought it was one of their own, and then when they saw someone raising a knife towards Shu Wan, Yuwen Yan's men got involved.
In the end, the two of them were almost in a state of separation.
Such a result was really beyond Shu Wan's expectations.
But she found it even more difficult to accept.
The corpses in front of her were all living people.
These people are crazy! In a panic, Shu Wan caught a glimpse of a red figure not far away.
"General Yu, hurry, there!" Shu Wan pointed at the princess who was in dire straits, "Hurry up and save her.
Quick!" Because she saw that someone's knife was about to chop the princess' head.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jianning kicked a sword that belonged to someone unknown in panic. The sword pierced through the heart of one of Yuwen Yan's men with lightning speed. The sword that was hanging over the princess' head could no longer be used to chop down.
The princess had just forgotten to react, and in fact could not do anything to escape. She could only watch death coming. She simply closed her eyes, but she did not feel any pain for a long time, so she opened her eyes and saw the assassin in front of her slowly falling down in front of her.
"Protect her!" Shu Wan and Yu Jianning rushed over and protected the person behind them.
Yuwen Yan's people were in trouble at this time.
Yuwen Yan personally gave the order not to hurt Shu Wan, but now she was tightly protecting the person they were going to kill tonight, so what could they do? The situation on Shu Wan's side was already unfavorable, and they were gradually being surrounded, but Yuwen Yan's men were a little hesitant to move forward. If they rushed forward, it would inevitably threaten Shu Wan's life. If they didn't go up, they would not be able to complete the mission. Finally, the leader gritted his teeth and ordered the encirclement of several people.
The princess who was to be married off to another country had to be killed, but if Shu Wan died accidentally, that was understandable. After all, swords have no eyes.
Yu Wenyan wouldn't attack his subordinates just because of someone he had just met for a few days! "Kill!" He gave an order, and everyone wrapped Shu Wan and the others up like dumplings.
"Hold him tight!" Shu Wan glanced at Yu Jianning beside her, then said to the princess, "General Yu, please protect her!" As she spoke, she picked up the broken sword on the ground and rushed out.
"Shu Wan!" Yu Jianning shouted. Shu Wan didn't know any kung fu. Was she rushing out to die? He wanted to go up and pull Shu Wan back, but he couldn't just leave the princess next to him there. He pulled the princess and ran towards Shu Wan.
Then she saw Shu Wan's petite figure moving among the crowd, the sword in her hand taking the enemy's life cleanly and neatly.
Yu Jianning was confused again. Shu Wan knew martial arts? Kung Fu? When did she learn it? Wasn't she a weakling? Wasn't she powerless? Who could tell him why her seemingly random swordsmanship could knock down so many people in just a few strokes ?
Damn it, what else is Shu Wan hiding from him? But now is not the time to worry about these things. At least Shu Wan has martial arts skills, so she may not get hurt. He is not carrying two weak and unarmed women.
No one could understand Shu Wan's moves, so for a while, she really knocked down dozens of people, leaving no one alive! But her shortcomings were also obvious. The long sword in her hand was not suitable for her. If she had a short sword, it would be even better.
No matter how agile Shu Wan was, those people under Yuwen Yan were no pushovers. Even in a round-robin battle, Shu Wan was sometimes defeated. He was hit on the arm by a sword, not seriously, but it hurt a lot, and Shu Wan grimaced in pain.
"Shu Wan!" Yu Jianning's eyes were filled with the bright red blood on her shoulder. She let go of the princess' hand and rushed towards Shu Wan.
"Be careful!" The princess shouted to Yu Jianning. She didn't know these two people, but they were protecting her sincerely. How could she not worry that they would get hurt!
"Shu Wan, you can do it!" After Yu Jianning rushed over, he couldn't help but complain, "Your kung fu is pretty good!" He was mocking her with his mouth, but his hands didn't stop moving, and no one could get close to them.
"Now is not the time to settle scores!" Shu Wan reminded him, "Let's get out alive first!"
"Okay, you owe me a favor when you get out!" Yu Jianning would never say that he really wanted to eat Shu Wan because of this!
"No problem. As long as it's not murder, arson or other morally depraved things, I'll agree to one of your conditions after we get out." Shu Wan said happily.
"I've remembered!" Yu Jianning replied.
The two men didn't speak after that. They were completely focused on the battle. They couldn't let the princess be isolated and helpless, so they protected her on the left and right, fighting desperately.
Shu Wan was a little overwhelmed, not to mention that one of her arms was injured. She was not careful and the sword in her hand was knocked to the ground. Then a sword stabbed at her. She had no time to dodge and was about to be stabbed.
In a flash, the princess turned around quickly and used her whole back to block the sword that was about to pierce Shu Wan's heart.
Shu Wan's eyes widened, he was at a loss for what to do with her sudden action, he only heard the sound of the sword piercing into the flesh! The princess' body bent down, and at the same time, a mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth uncontrollably. Shu Wan didn't have time to think about it, he could only instinctively reach out to catch her.
"You are the one who told me to run away...in broad daylight!" Her mouth was full of blood, her eyes were full of tears, but her face was full of smiles.
"It's me!" Shu Wan didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only answer her in a low voice.
"Thank you!" She continued to laugh, and at the same time vomited a mouthful of blood, "It made me realize that my life in this world is not completely meaningless." Two lines of clear tears slid out of the corners of her eyes.
"Stop talking!" Shu Wan's eyes hurt a little. "You'll be fine!" Apart from this, she didn't know what else to say.
"Although... I don't know... your name, and we have never... met, but do you know...? You are the only... person who has cared about me in these... fifteen years. You are the only one who thinks that I have... the right... to live." She spoke intermittently, and her words made Shu Wan feel distressed.
What kind of suffering could make her feel that a reminder from a stranger, who she couldn't tell whether it was true or false, would be the only warmth she had felt in fifteen years!
"Perhaps, you will... think I'm so stupid! But to me, you are already... a friend, a friend for whom I can give my life! I have already felt the warmest... thing in the world, and I have no regrets in my death."
"They want me... to die!" She seemed to know who wanted to kill her. "If they kill me, they can... take the opportunity to attack... Chi Yan! This is what they planned long ago. They won't let... me go to Chi Yan's... palace alive."
But unfortunately, she guessed the wrong person. The people who killed her today were not sent by her country, but Yuwen Yan.
Shu Wan didn't need to tell her this. There was no need to give her another heavy blow.
"This is for you!" She took out a dagger from her sleeve with difficulty. "This is what my mother... left for me. She died when she gave birth to me. The only thing I know about her... is this knife. Today, I give it to you... Please take good care of it for me... because we are friends, right?" She looked at Shu Wan with tears and laughter.
"Yes, we are friends, friends who are willing to die for each other!" Shu Wan nodded, took the dagger, and agreed with her.
"Look... the feelings in this world are so reasonable... warm and beautiful! But why... do they pursue that cold power? Why?" Only now, there was a hint of unwillingness in her eyes.
"That's because they don't understand. In their entire lives, they have only known how to pursue those illusory things. So, although they are alive, they are actually dead!" This is also the reason why Shu Wan thinks these people are so crazy.
What if I became the master of the world? What if I slept with a bed full of banknotes? Why should I be so obsessed with something that I could not bring with me when I was born and cannot take with me when I die?
No, people with twisted minds like them won’t understand this. They won’t understand.
"Yeah... they don't understand... they don't..." Before she could utter the last word "understand", she had stopped breathing and closed her eyes forever.
Shu Wan's eyes were sore, but no tears fell, because she still had a mission!
Shu Wan put the man on the ground, then pulled out the dagger in his hand. The dagger could cut hair and slash iron like mud, and it was very easy to use.
Shu Wan asked all these people to stay here tonight to accompany the princess in her burial.
What a pity, Shu Wan still doesn't know her name! Half a minute later, Yu Wenyan appeared.
Shu Wan was here today, so he actually didn't plan to show up, but for some reason, he felt a little uneasy, so he decided to come over and take a look.
As a result, he saw the scene where Shu Wan and Yu Jianning were surrounded and attacked by his men.
Shu Wan was wearing a green dress today, which was now covered in blood.
Yuwen Yan couldn't just tell his men to stop, so he had to jump into the encirclement, hoping that these people would evacuate on their own after seeing him.
"Why are you here?" Shu Wan's voice was cold.
"I was really worried, so I wanted to come and see you. I didn't expect that you really got into trouble!" Yu Wenyan didn't doubt her tone.
"You're just in time, kill them all!" Shu Wan shouted, and rushed out again with a dagger in hand.
Yuwen Yan is here, right? Then let's use his hand to eliminate his men and see how he feels! Yuwen Yan didn't put on a show and really killed these people.
He had clearly given the order not to hurt her, but what were these people doing? After he arrived, Shu Wan did not move, and watched them kill each other coldly.
Of course, these people didn't dare to attack Yuwen Yan, so when there were only five of them left, they began to retreat and run back.
Yuwen Yan was about to take action, but at this moment, Shu Wan rushed over before him and cut the throats of two people at once. The remaining three people looked at her vigilantly.
They didn't dare to fight or move, what should they do! They looked at Yu Wenyan, hoping to get an instruction, what should they do? But before Yu Wenyan gave them a look, Shu Wan had already pierced the chest of the last person.
The hot blood splashed onto her face, giving her a warm touch.
At this point, the entire post station was littered with corpses and a river of blood.
There were only three of them left standing!
