Chapter 983 Who will save her?
Just when the blade was about to touch her, it was suddenly bounced away by an invisible barrier.
The assassins were so frightened by this incredible scene that they forgot to continue attacking.
Yimei herself was also stunned.
She didn't understand what just happened?
Why did the assassin's knife suddenly change direction in mid-air?
The atmosphere froze at this moment.
Before Yimei could figure out the reason, she had already started running as fast as she could, driven by her survival instinct!
The assassins suddenly came to their senses and immediately chased after him with knives in hand.
The two sides engaged in a life-and-death chase on the silent and dark streets.
Yimei ran and shouted for help.
However, she was speaking the Thousand Islands language, and even the people living nearby could not understand what she was shouting.
Yi Mei ran as fast as she could, but her speed was still no match for those vicious assassins.
She could clearly feel the footsteps behind her getting closer and closer. It was like a life-taking blade from hell, causing her heart to beat wildly and her fear to reach the extreme. In the end, she was left with only despair and helplessness.
She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to die in such a confused way in a foreign country.
Who will save her?
At this moment, a bony hand suddenly stretched out from the side, grabbed Yimei's arm, and pulled it hard!
Caught off guard, Yimei was dragged into the dark alley next to her.
When she came to her senses, she found herself being dragged into a courtyard door. In the dim night, she could barely see the person who was pulling her. He was a tall young man in black.
This person is Chu Jian!
He closed the gate quietly.
When he saw Yi Mei was about to speak, he immediately reached out and covered her mouth, blocking out all her sounds.
The girl's warm breath sprayed on his palm, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
But he soon put this discomfort behind him.
Because there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside the courtyard gate.
The assassins are catching up!
Yi Mei was so frightened that she dared not move and let the boy's hand cover her lips.
She froze in place, her hands and feet were cold, her dark brown pupils were trembling slightly with fear, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Through the thin gate, she could clearly hear the sounds outside.
The group of assassins outside searched the entire alley carefully but found no trace of the third princess.
In a fit of rage, some people couldn't help but ask.
"We clearly saw her running in here, why is she gone?"
Another person continued, "There are several households in this alley. Maybe the third princess has hidden in someone else's house. Why don't we search all of them?"
When Yi Mei heard this, she was so scared that she almost stopped breathing.
She wanted to remind the young man in front of her to find another hiding place before the assassins came.
But her lips were covered tightly and she couldn't make any sound.
She didn't dare to struggle too hard, for fear of making a noise that would alert the vicious assassins outside, so she could only raise her hand and tug at the boy's sleeve, signaling him to let go.
However, Chu Jian ignored her.
He remained motionless, ignoring what the assassins outside were saying.
It was not until the assassins really began to search the nearby houses one by one that Chu Jian began to feel a little nervous.
He stared at the tightly closed gate, while raising his other hand and placing it on the hilt of the sword at his waist, ready to draw his sword and meet the enemy at any time.
The assassins began their search from the innermost house.
They forced open the gate and rushed in, only to find that the yard was empty and no one lived there.
After a quick search, they found no trace of the third princess, so they immediately moved on to the next house.
There is a family of four living in this house.
The man tried to resist but was knocked unconscious by the assassins. His wife screamed in fear and his two children burst into tears.
These sounds came from next door, only separated by a wall from where Yi Mei and Chu Jian were.
Chu Jian frowned.
He let go of Yimei and whispered to her.
"I'll distract the assassins, and you can escape."
Yimei couldn't understand Dasheng's words, and Chu Jian's words sounded no different from heavenly books to her.
She looked at Chu Jian with a confused look on her face as he drew his sword.
Chu Jian planned to climb over the wall to rescue people.
He couldn't let those assassins harm innocent people.
Yi Mei quickly grabbed his sleeve and asked in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
"Where are you going?"
Chu Jian looked down at her.
She looked up at him too.
The two looked at each other, staring at each other.
Neither of them could understand what the other was saying.
Only then did Chu Jian remember that there was a language barrier between himself and the third princess.
What should I do?
The crying and screaming in the next yard was getting louder and louder.
Chu Jian couldn't bear it anymore.
He simply shook off Yimei's hand and saved people first!
Just as he used his Qinggong skills to leap onto the courtyard wall, a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds came from afar.
Chu Jian stood on the courtyard wall, looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of soldiers on horseback rushing towards them aggressively!
That team of soldiers were all armed and holding torches. It was initially estimated that there were more than 20 of them, which was more than enough to deal with this group of assassins.
Chu Jian immediately gave up the idea of rescuing people.
He squatted down and hid himself in the darkness.
The assassin who was on lookout spotted the group of soldiers and immediately shouted to his accomplices in the yard.
"The soldiers are coming! Retreat!"
The assassins immediately stopped rummaging through the drawers and rushed out.
When they ran to the alley entrance, they ran face to face with the group of aggressive soldiers.
The two sides started fighting without saying a word.
Of the seventeen assassins, two escaped in the end, and the remaining fifteen, seeing that they were doomed to fail, simply ended their own lives.
A fight ended here.
The family of four next door was sent to the clinic by the officers and soldiers.
Chu Jian jumped off the courtyard wall and made a hushing gesture to Yi Mei.
Yi Mei pursed her lips and remained motionless.
Wait until all the noises outside disappear.
Only then did Chu Jian push open the gate.
He leaned out and looked outside. The box was quiet and empty.
Chu Jian turned around and said to Yi Mei.
"let's go."
Yimei looked at him blankly.
Chu Jian scratched his head, then gestured with his hands to tell her that it was time to leave.
Yi Mei figured out what he meant by guessing.
The two men left the alley in the dark and headed straight for the British palace.
At night, Luo Yechen was sleeping soundly with his wife in his arms when he was suddenly woken up by someone. He immediately became furious.
He shouted to the outside of the door: "No matter who they are, get them out! Don't disturb my sweet dreams!"
The butler stood outside the door and continued speaking with gritted teeth.
"Your Highness, the man who came is the Jade Lin Guard. He said he came here on the orders of the Imperial Concubine. He has something very important to ask for your and the Princess's help."
Now, let alone the imperial concubine, even if the emperor came, Luo Yechen would not buy it.
