Chapter 74 Don't Be Afraid
The voice of the Prince of Changping was cold and his eyes were bloodthirsty.
As he spoke, eight or nine men in black emerged from the darkness, holding sharp blades, and surrounded Shen Tang and the man. The swords emitted a cold glow in the moonlight.
He is the prince of the Marquis of Changping Mansion, and the nephew of the current emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Ye. He was kicked down the hillside at the Jokhang Temple and nearly died there. In order to find the man, the Marquis of Changping Mansion almost turned the entire capital upside down. They didn't expect that they had offended the Prince of Changping. Instead of keeping a low profile, he dared to come out and accompany Miss Shen Er to the Lantern Festival.
He wanted to see who dared not to take him seriously!
Who else could get the Emperor to come forward and help him convey the message to Marquis Pingyuan!
Chen Tang didn't expect that it had been so long since the Jokhang Temple incident, and the Prince of Changping had not given up on catching the man, and even targeted her. The man was good at martial arts, but the Prince of Changping had so many people...
Shen Tang's heart was shaking like a sieve.
The man felt that the person in his arms was afraid, and he said softly, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
How can I not be afraid?
Chen Tang said anxiously, "Don't worry about me, just go away."
With the man's martial arts skills and the huge crowds at the Lantern Festival as cover, the man wanted to leave, and the Prince of Changping Marquis could not stop him.
But could the man leave Shen Tang to the prince of Changping Marquis, knowing that he had ill intentions towards him?
The Prince of Changping did not give the man a chance to leave.
"Come on!"
Before he finished speaking, the man in black moved the sword in his hand and stabbed at the man.
Chen Shan jumped out, and with him was a masked secret guard who blocked the assassin's sword.
Not far away, the two maids Ginkgo and Qiutong were already pale with fear and trembling.
Chen Shan and the masked secret guard were good at martial arts, but two fists are no match for four hands. There were too many people on the other side, and they could not hold their own. The man led Chen Tang back to the wall, where he pulled out the soft sword hidden under his belt and killed the black-clothed man who was trying to kill him with one sword.
The blood splashed onto the wall behind Shen Tang, almost sticking to her face.
The Prince of Changping was coming for the man, but the man did not dare to get too close to Chen Tang, fearing that he would lead the assassin to her, nor did he dare to get too far away, in case the assassin tried to kill Chen Tang and she would not be able to fight back.
The man was just a few steps in front of Shen Tang, killing every one he came across.
The Prince of Changping Marquis did not expect the man to have such high martial arts skills. If the man wanted to leave, he really could not stop him. He had been looking for him for so long and finally waited for the man to show up. If he let him go like this, it would be difficult to catch him again in the future. However, as long as a person has a weak point, he will not be afraid of him.
The eyes of the Marquis of Changping fell on Shen Tang.
At his command, the assassins who were heading for the man pointed their swords at her.
Chen Tang was so frightened that her face turned pale. She didn't expect that the Prince of Changping Marquis would dare to kill her directly. After all, she was the legitimate daughter of Pingyuan Marquis!
Several men in black attacked Chen Tang at the same time. Chen Shan and the secret guards failed to stop them in time. The remaining six men in black attacked him together. The wall behind him to prevent sneak attacks from behind became a hindrance. The man blocked two assassins, and a man in black attacked him from the side.
It was too late for the man to stop him, so he could only use his body to protect Chen Tang. He held Chen Tang in his arms, and the assassin's sword scratched his back.
The man gritted his teeth and turned around, killing the assassin with a single sword strike.
The assassin fell heavily to the ground, blood dripping from the man's sword. He glanced at the Prince of Changping Marquis. Even from a distance, the Prince of Changping Marquis could feel the murderous intent.
Even when the Prince of Changping killed a man, the man was not so angry. But killing Chen Tang would touch his reverse scale.
By then, Chen Shan and the secret guards had already reached his side. The man had no worries anymore and charged towards the Prince of Changping with his sword in hand.
The Prince of Changping was not bad at martial arts, but he was no match for the man. After just a few moves, he was defeated, and the man's sword was against the Prince of Changping's neck.
The Prince of Changping turned pale, "You dare to kill me? I am the Prince of Changping!"
The man said coldly, "I won't kill you today, but if you dare to go after her again, I will never forgive you!"
After saying this, the man kicked the Prince of Changping Marquis and he flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Crash.
Fall into the water.
The splashing water extinguished countless wishing lanterns floating in the water.
He did not kill the Prince of Changping Marquis today, not because he did not dare, but because he did not want to bring trouble to Chen Tang. He was wearing a mask, and the Changping Marquis Mansion could not find him, so they would pursue Chen Tang to the end. As long as he wanted, he could take the life of the Prince of Changping Marquis at any time.
Most of the assassins were killed, and the Prince of Changping fell into the water, thrashing for help. The men in black were too late to save him, let alone catch anyone, whether it was the man or Chen Tang, they could not catch anyone.
Chen Shan came over, "Master, you are injured..."
Shen Tang's legs were weak and he couldn't walk at all.
The man walked up to her, and before Chen Tang could ask anything, the man who was full of energy just now fell weakly on her. Poor Chen Tang had just recovered a little bit of strength, and when he fell over, she almost broke her waist. God knows how much strength she had to use to barely hold on to the man.
Chen Shan, "..."
Chen Qi, wearing a mask, "..."
Okay.
I won’t let them help me.
But Master, please at least consider whether Miss Shen Er can support him.
Chen Tang had difficulty helping him, looking at the blood on his hands, "We need to bandage the wound quickly..."
Chen Qi said, "Go to the boat."
There was a boat parked not far away. The man was afraid that if he took off the mask, Chen Tang would part with him unhappily, so he thought of visiting the lantern festival first, and then taking off the mask on the boat after he was done.
But before it reached this point, it was destroyed by the Prince of Changping.
Chen Tang helped the man to the lake. The boat was some distance from the shore. Chen Tang said, "It's impossible to get through."
As soon as she said this, the man hugged her waist and lifted her up into the air, directly onto the boat.
No matter how dumb Shen Tang was, she knew that the man was not that weak anymore. She gritted her teeth in anger, "Were you pretending to be weak just now?!"
The man coughed lightly and said, "I just saved you, can you be nicer to me?"
Chen Tang wanted to say that the Prince of Changping wanted to kill him, but when he thought that the man was targeted by the Prince of Changping just to save her, he couldn't say it.
The man's body was staggering, and Shen Tang didn't know whether he was pretending or really, but looking at the wound on his back, she was afraid that he was going to faint with such a serious injury, so she quickly helped the man into the boat to apply medicine to him.
Chen Shan and Chen Qi knew that their master didn't even let them help, so they had nothing to do with applying the medicine.
Chen Qi put down the medicine he was carrying and went out silently.
Chen Tang watched them go out, "Aren't you going to apply medicine to your master?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he said this, the two secret guards dodged even faster.
Chen Tang lost her temper. She couldn't bear to watch the man bleed, so she could only help him undress.
She untied his belt. Chen Tang was glad that she was married to Xie Guimo in her previous life and was often forced by him to undress her, otherwise she would not be able to help the man untie his belt so easily.
It was just that they were too close, so close that their breaths entangled together, and the temperature on Chen Tang's face became higher and higher.
Untie the belt, then take off the brocade robe and underwear...
Shen Tang didn't dare to look any further and turned around to get the ointment.
When she picked up the ointment, she looked up and caught a glimpse of the man's back. She was so frightened that the ointment in her hand fell to the ground.
The man turned around, thinking that Shen Tang was frightened by his injury. Just as he was about to comfort Shen Tang, he heard an angry voice:
"Thank you Guimo!"
