With one more person missing, the defense circle tightened again, and everyone was under great pressure.
"Lend me your dagger." Sikong Zhan didn't turn around or call out anyone by name, but Lin Jinghan knew that he wanted to borrow her Adamant dagger.
When she used the dagger to cut the diamond, she knew that someone as smart as Sikong Zhan would definitely suspect that the dagger in her hand was extraordinary. After all, she had used the dagger to cut the diamond five times. If she said that it was because she found the weakness of the diamond, she herself would not believe this argument!
But I didn't expect that he would set his sights on the dagger so quickly.
This dagger is the only one in the world. If it is lost or falls into someone else's hands, she will definitely be heartbroken. But the situation is critical now. If they cannot survive this rain of arrows, what use is there for her to have this dagger?
She glanced at the wound on Sikong Zhan's right hand. In fact, when his right hand grabbed the spider silk, she knew that his hand would be injured. And when he deliberately concealed his injury, she did not expose him.
Because of this injury and the strong defensive clothing she was wearing, she chose to trust him once, placed the dagger in his hand, and said solemnly: "Remember to return it to me after you use it!"
After getting the indestructible Adamantium dagger, Sikong Zhan shot it out without hesitation.
The dagger pierced through the wall and shot into the heart of the person who controlled the arrow in front of his horrified eyes!
Without the person controlling the mechanism, the sharp arrow came to an abrupt stop.
Mu Wenyao sat down on the ground, gasping for breath without any image. "That was a close call. I thought I was going to die here..."
"Leave first, it's not safe here." Sikong Zhan gave the order. Although the secret guard was almost exhausted, he didn't even frown. He supported his companion and walked towards the door.
Lin Jinghan had just finished treating the wound of the last secret guard. She stood up and extended her left hand towards Sikong Zhan, "Your Highness, where is my dagger?"
Sikong Zhan looked at Lin Jinghan seriously, his eyes lingering on her bloody left hand for a while, frowning and saying:
"Since I borrowed your things, I will naturally return them to you. However, you don't intend to use your dirty left hand to get your dagger back, do you?"
After saying that, Sikong Zhan turned and walked towards the control room.
"Your Highness, let me do it." Mu Wenyao didn't care about taking a rest and stood up:
What kind of magical weapon is that dagger that can easily break through the diamond gold! No wonder the prince and princess were able to get out from down there! If I don’t take this opportunity to take a look at such a good thing now, I don’t know if I will have the chance in the future!
"You take the princess out first, I will come out soon." The reason why Sikong Zhan took everything on himself was that he didn't want people to know about the unusual things about Lin Jinghan, so naturally he would not let Mu Wenyao get the dagger.
Lin Jinghan didn't comment. She took out a water bag and asked someone to help her pour some water. She washed the blood off her hands and turned to walk towards the door.
She wasn't worried that Sikong Zhan would swallow her dagger. Firstly, although he was a bit rude, he was generally a man of his word. Secondly, she was with him, and if he really had any bad intentions, she didn't seem to have much ability to resist...
If she couldn't win, she might as well go along with him. However, if he really dared to have any thoughts that he shouldn't have, even if she couldn't do anything to him now, she would definitely get it back with interest in the future!
Sikong Zhan did not disappoint Lin Jinghan. He came out soon and casually returned the dagger to her. His expression was as if what he threw to her was really just an ordinary dagger.
He climbed onto the horse and looked at Lin Jinghan who was still standing on the ground. After a moment of thought, he extended his hand to her and said, "Come up."
Lin Jinghan recalled the last time Sikong Zhan carried her into the passage. The memory was not very pleasant, and she subconsciously refused: "Your Highness, I can ride a horse, so I won't bother you..."
"Are you sure you can still pull the reins with your hands? You don't want to use your hands to heal people anymore?" Sikong Zhan interrupted Lin Jinghan's refusal. He was obviously well-intentioned, but he had a look of almsgiving on his face, which made Lin Jinghan very unhappy. She raised her foot and walked towards her horse.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I can ride a horse with one hand. I just need to slow down the horse."
After Mu Wenyao walked out of the courtyard, he immediately remembered what happened in the palace. He had already come to Sikong Zhan and saw what was happening. He hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, something has happened in the capital. The Emperor has learned that we have occupied No Return Mountain and has already sent troops there. Judging by the time, the Emperor's troops have probably already reached No Return Mountain. Furthermore, the palace is almost overwhelmed. We need to return as soon as possible."
Because Wu Yan was not caught, Sikong Zhan had already expected that the matter of Bugui Mountain would be exposed, so he was not too surprised. He rode his horse towards Lin Jinghan, and when he reached her, he picked her up and put her on the horse's back, sitting right in front of him.
"Hey, what are you doing! Put me down!" Lin Jinghan fell into a cold embrace. She was rejecting it in her heart and wanted to jump down without thinking.
"Don't move. If you fall down, no one will save you. Go!" Sikong Zhan held Lin Jinghan tightly in his arms and sped away.
The struggle just now was only because the matter happened suddenly and she was not prepared, so she subconsciously refused. Now, Lin Jinghan understood the urgency of the matter, stopped struggling, and sat obediently on the horse's back.
Sikong Zhan spurred his horse and rode at an incredible speed, soon leaving Mu Wenyao and the others far behind.
"Um, Your Highness, can you slow down a bit? I'm cold..." The horse was riding too fast, and the sound of the wind was whistling in her ears. Lin Jinghan shivered and couldn't help but hug her arms tightly, while shrinking into Sikong Zhan's arms.
Sikong Zhan had long been accustomed to riding a horse at full speed. Now that he was bringing people with him, his speed was not the fastest. He did not expect that Lin Jinghan could not even bear this. He could not help but frown: Women, what trouble!
He roughly turned her over so that she was facing him, leaning her whole body against his arms, and wrapped her back tightly with his cloak.
Feeling that it was not so cold anymore, Lin Jinghan simply buried herself in his arms, and she felt a little warmer.
It turns out that this man is not as cold as he seems, and he also knows how to be gentle with women... She secretly removed the label of being unkind from Sikong Zhan, and then used this human-shaped heater to keep warm with peace of mind.
However, the good times did not last long.
Both of them were on horseback, so it was inevitable that they would move with the ups and downs of the horses. In addition, they were too close now, and their postures were rather ambiguous. With every ups and downs, their bodies would inevitably rub against each other. In this situation, even a god would not be able to remain calm.
