Li Chang'an was so angry that he was speechless, but he was helpless.
Finally, Feng Beichuan was able to get into the carriage with Li Chang'an as he had hoped.
"Chang'an, will this trick of ours really work?"
Inside the carriage, Feng Beichuan asked in a low voice.
At this moment, the woman sitting opposite her had her eyes slightly closed, as if she were taking a short nap. Upon hearing this, she simply said, "Whether it works or not, we'll know once we try it."
Feng Beichuan nodded thoughtfully, then added, "What if they really take the bait? Are you sure you can catch them when we fight? He seems like a troublesome guy. We're all alone, what if..."
"Is the Regent starting to feel afraid?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an raised her eyebrows slightly, and as she spoke, her eyes also opened slightly.
His gaze shifted, revealing a hint of mockery and derision.
"How could that be! When have I, Feng Beichuan, ever been afraid of anything? Just a mere... cough cough, a petty thief!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan immediately became agitated and almost blurted out something he shouldn't have.
Fortunately, he quickly shut up when he saw the slight change in Li Chang'an's expression.
Even so, Li Chang'an couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, then said in a low voice, "You make it sound so easy, you must have thought of an easy way to get it, otherwise why would you be so arrogant? Oh... I forgot, you used to look down on everyone..."
Feng Beichuan was speechless. Then he felt very frustrated, not understanding why Li Chang'an was talking back to him all day.
Li Chang'an had really gotten her fill of witty remarks. In fact, she rarely spoke so harshly, but Feng Beichuan's constant pestering had upset her.
However, Feng Beichuan himself was completely unaware of this. On the contrary, he felt that he was not pestering her, but wholeheartedly wanting to accompany her to face any unexpected events that might happen in the future.
Little did he know, he was so focused on Li Chang'an that he forgot he was seen as someone skilled with words but utterly incompetent in actual combat.
After venting his anger, Li Chang'an stopped talking and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Feng Beichuan sat quietly by himself, feeling utterly bored. He had originally wanted to chat with Li Chang'an for a while, but looking at the man's detached and indifferent appearance, he knew that even if he talked until his lips were sore, the man would not pay any attention to him.
Feeling utterly bored, he had no choice but to close his eyes and take a nap, just like Li Chang'an.
Just as he was beginning to doze off, he suddenly heard a soft sound, as if something had fallen into the carriage.
The next second, Feng Beichuan felt a tightness around his collar, and then he was lifted up and thrown out of the car.
Before he could even react, Feng Beichuan heard a deafening explosion. He turned around in horror and found that the carriage he had just been in had been blown to pieces in an instant!
At that moment, he and Li Chang'an also tumbled out of the carriage and onto the ground.
"how so?"
As Feng Beichuan spoke, he quickly turned to look at Li Chang'an beside him. Seeing that the man was alright, though his expression was rather grave, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Shut up!"
Li Chang'an interrupted him in a deep voice.
Although the two of them are now completely unharmed, the horse pulling the carriage and the coachman sitting on it have become innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
The sudden explosion startled the horse, and it was also injured by the flying debris from the carriage. So the horse immediately dropped the grapes, reared up, and neighed loudly before galloping away, leaving only a trail of bloody hoofprints on the ground.
The coachman fared even worse; he was not only injured in the explosion, but was also thrown to the ground by the horse.
Looking at him now, all that can be seen is that the man's face is covered in blood and he is lying motionless on the ground, and it is impossible to tell whether he is dead or alive.
It wasn't until now that Feng Beichuan had recovered a little. Looking at the mess around him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
If Li Chang'an hadn't pulled him off the train, the two of them would probably be blown to bits by now.
But Li Chang'an, standing to the side, couldn't afford to think about any of this. She looked at the coachman who was like a dead fish not far away, and her eyes immediately reddened. However, what surged in her eyes was not tears, but endless anger.
Just then, a commotion suddenly arose around them, and then seven or eight people dressed in black descended from the sky.
"Get out of the way!"
Li Chang'an roared at Feng Beichuan, then shoved him hard and leaped up, drawing his sword and charging towards the men in black.
Seeing the other party's aggressive demeanor, the leader of the men in black immediately stood up to meet the challenge.
In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged more than ten blows, a dazzling display that left only the metallic clang of blades clashing in the air.
For a moment, the two were evenly matched in strength.
Those men in black who had been holding back immediately lunged at Li Chang'an, baring their teeth and claws.
Feng Beichuan stumbled several steps after being unexpectedly shoved by Li Chang'an. At this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else and just wanted to rush over to help.
But now Li Chang'an was already surrounded by the group of men in black. Feng Beichuan couldn't even see where Li Chang'an was. He could only vaguely see the woman's nimble figure flash by in the dark mass of black.
This really worried Feng Beichuan. He wanted to intervene but didn't know where to start. He wanted to help but was afraid that he would cause trouble for Li Chang'an.
Moreover, he is currently concealing something on his person that cannot be revealed.
For a moment, this man, who was always unhurried in everything he did, began to lose his composure.
After all, Li Chang'an is now outnumbered, so no matter how skilled she is in martial arts, she is still at a disadvantage.
A person's abilities are ultimately limited; if things continue like this, even if the opponent slowly wears them down, they will eventually be worn down to death.
Seeing Li Chang'an struggling to break through the encirclement, Feng Beichuan experienced for the first time the feeling of being in dire straits.
But his momentary confusion was short-lived. He suddenly shouted at the group, "You bunch of good-for-nothings, what's the point of clinging to a woman? Can't you see I'm still here?!"
