Chapter 323 It’s Not Like I Haven’t Digged Before
They are already at the end of their strength. If they are attacked by the enemy again, it will be difficult for them to escape alive.
The two guards had gloomy expressions, and one of them gripped his sword tightly.
"Miss Wen, you hide behind me for a while, and my brother will find a chance to take you out."
He did not mention his own safety at all, and only said in a deep voice: "Your Highness... Your Highness is left to you."
Wen Wan's eyes dimmed slightly, and then she nodded solemnly.
The two guards were on full alert, looking forward with determined eyes.
The atmosphere was already set, and suddenly, Wen Wan rubbed her eyes and couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth.
The crowd going up the mountain gradually became clearer in my sight. One of them was carrying a big flag with the word "Feng" written on it.
"It turns out to be the Fengcheng defenders."
Wen Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "Relax, these are the soldiers I transferred."
The two guards followed her all the way to contact He Qing's subordinates. They knew that these Fengcheng defenders were helpers she had transferred using He Qing's token.
The mountain stronghold was in chaos, and the bandits who were originally responsible for guarding the gate had long since run away and no one knew where they were.
Wen Wan and a few others walked out of the mountain stronghold and faced the defenders of Shangfeng City.
The one who came this time was a young man.
Wen Wan took out the jade pendant, and the young general dismounted and saluted her.
"Time is running out, let's wipe out the entire White Tiger Village."
She gave the order lightly, drawing a surprised look from the young general.
"What? This token was given to me by General He. Do you want to disobey his order?" Wen Wan asked in a deep voice.
The young general lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "I dare not. It's just... I have never heard a woman give orders in my life."
Wen Wan curled her lips, "...Alright, do you Fengcheng defenders always talk so much nonsense when you're doing things? If we delay any longer, the bandits will all run away."
"Yes." The young general responded, waved his hand, and commanded the defenders to rush into the stronghold.
Wen Wan thought for a moment, then turned and said, "By the way, you know Shen Yu, General Shen, right?"
Hearing this, the young general nodded in surprise.
Wen Wan ordered: "General He said that General Shen is related to a major case of the court, and General Shen's safety must be guaranteed."
The young general was shocked, "General Shen is also in the mountain stronghold?"
"Yes." Wen Wan said calmly, "Also, if you encounter a monk, be sure to keep him alive."
"yes."

It was getting dark.
Standing halfway up the mountain and looking down, you can see the sky filled with colorful clouds, layer upon layer, which is beautiful beyond words.
Wen Wan helped Wen En onto the carriage. Wen En was very weak at this moment.
But even so, he leaned on her shoulder obediently, with a faint smile on his lips.
After the guard took out the golden medicine and handed it to Wen Wan, he went out to drive the carriage.
Wen Wan carefully uncovered Wen En's clothes and checked his injuries.
The wound on his arm was not deep, and after sprinkling it with medicine, the bleeding gradually stopped.
However, the wound on his stomach made Wen Wan's scalp tingle.
The arrow stuck in his stomach was only an inch long, with the arrowhead taking up half of the length. It looked like it was shot from a wrist crossbow.
A wrist crossbow is a crossbow worn on the wrist. It is very small and can usually only fire two short arrows. It is a close-fitting weapon used to save one's life.
But don't be fooled by the small size of this short arrow. It has a barb on the arrowhead. Once it penetrates the skin and flesh, it is difficult to remove. If you try to pull it out, it will immediately tear the skin and flesh.
"You can still laugh at this moment?"
Wen Wan was so anxious that her face turned pale and she glared at him fiercely.
Winn said nothing.
Yes, at this moment, he can still laugh.
But what could he do? Only when he was hurt could he get so close to his sister, so close that it seemed as if the whole world was filled with her scent.
Thinking of this, Wen En lowered his head guiltily, fearing that his sister would discover his shameful thoughts.
Fortunately, Wen Wan didn't notice his abnormality and just said nervously: "What should we do? This kind of arrow can't be pulled out directly."
Winn still rested his head on her shoulder, gently sniffing the fragrance of her hair.
He said calmly, "Don't be afraid, sister. There is a way."
Hearing this, Wen Wan frowned and stared at him, "Have you ever seen this kind of short arrow?"
Wen En responded, "I've seen it. This is a new thing that the Duan Dynasty's Ministry of War made last year."
The information revealed in this sentence is quite intriguing.
The things that the Duan Dynasty’s Ministry of War had just made fell into the hands of bandits. The ability of the person behind the scenes is really shocking.
Wen Wan didn't have time to think about it, and asked anxiously: "What should I do now to take out the arrow?"
Winn tremblingly pressed the dagger into her hand.
"Dig it out."
He said three words lightly, but Wen Wan was frightened.
Dig out the arrowhead with a dagger?
This isn't like digging potatoes out of the ground, yet he's making such a nonchalant statement?
"Sister, don't be afraid."
The person who is about to suffer is actually thinking about comforting her emotions.
Wen Wan pursed her lips, and her eyes became even redder.
She held the dagger, unable to move.
Seeing this, Winn frowned, slowly raised his hand, and placed his palm on the back of her hand.
"Sister, I'll do it myself."
As he spoke, he tried to take the dagger back from her hand.
Wen Wan trembled all over and held the dagger tightly without letting go.
"Yeah, do you know what you're saying?"
Winn nodded slightly.
Wen Wan's eyes widened. "You want to dig out the arrow yourself?"
Winn muttered quietly, "It's not like I haven't dug before..."
"What?" Wen Wan didn't hear clearly.
Wen En sighed softly, "I said, I can do it, don't worry, sister. But sister, don't look at it, it will be very ugly with blood and flesh."
Is this a question of whether it is ugly or not?
For some reason, the more calm and composed he was, the more Wen Wan felt pain in her heart.
She bit her lower lip, her voice choked with sobs, "Yeah, you don't have to be so strong."
As she spoke, she gripped the dagger tightly and gritted her teeth, "Yeah, if it hurts, just scream. If it hurts too much, you can cry. You don't have to endure it, okay?"
Wen En didn't say anything, but stared at her with burning eyes and asked, "What will my sister do if I cry?"
Wen Wan glanced at him and said, "You'll know if you try it."
After a pause, she added, "Hold on! I'm going to use the knife!"
Wen En responded, without looking down at the dagger, but just staring at Wen Wan's face.
This woman was so frightened that her lips were trembling, but her eyes were so clear that they were intoxicating.
In her eyes, he saw himself with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in my stomach.
He trembled all over and sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.
He clenched his fists and said nothing, fearing that any sound would scare the petite woman in front of him.
Wen Wan was nervous and focused all her attention on her hands. She understood that if she had to dig, she had to dig as quickly as possible.
So she gritted her teeth, quickly cut open the flesh, and took out the arrowhead.
