Chapter 380 A Secret
The first thing to attack was a crossbow arrow that broke through the air.
The improved crossbow had great lethality, and combined with the attacks of the guards, even if Shen Yu was strong, he was still injured.
A crossbow bolt struck his upper arm, causing his knife-gripping hand to tremble.
Every time he fought hard, blood would gush out of his arms.
Wen Wan curled up in Shen Yu's arms, blood splattered on her cheeks, hot and scorching.
"Just bear with it a little longer."
In his haste, he did not forget to whisper to comfort her.
Wen Wan's nose felt sore, and she choked up and said, "Don't worry about me, just take care of yourself."
Shen Yu didn't say anything, and then he really obeyed and said nothing more.
Meng Jin, who was far away, watched as Shen Yu, like a god of war, chopped down the people who rushed towards him one by one. If he continued like this, he might really have to wait for reinforcements.
Meng Jin's pupils shrank, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment before giving the order.
"Attack the woman in his arms!"
At this moment, Wen Wan is Shen Yu's weakness.
When it comes to fundamental interests, Meng Jin's choice will never be based on romantic feelings.
When the soldiers heard the order, they pointed their swords at Wen Wan.
In order to protect Wen Wan, Shen Yu suffered many wounds in just a short while.
Wen Wan could clearly feel his muscles becoming increasingly tense, and she couldn't help but look up at him.
Shen Yu was so focused on meeting the enemy that he didn't notice Wen Wan's increasingly determined gaze.
"Chen Yu, I have a secret to tell you."
Shen Yu was busy fighting off the enemy, but when he heard her words, for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.
He frowned and said, "Don't tell me now. Wait until we are out of danger and then tell me."
Wen Wan forced a smile and said, "The man I like is really smart. Chen Yu... I really, really love you."
Shen Yu was startled, and a bitter taste suddenly rose in his throat. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Wan, we can get out alive, so you are not allowed to mess around."
Wen Wan did not respond to him, but just said to herself:
"I have a secret. Actually... I'm not from your world. I come from a world where men and women are equal. There, a man can only be with one woman at a time. If he gets involved with other women, it's considered cheating."
"I was taught from a young age not to destroy other people's families and not to mess with married men."
"So, I won't be anyone's concubine, nor will I be with you for no apparent reason, even though I love you."
The air was filled with an increasingly strong smell of blood, and Wenwan's voice became more and more choked.
"Chen Yu, if I die in this world, my soul will go home, so don't be sad."
"I will live in another world, and you... must raise Yan Sui well."
Shen Yu didn't want to hear her say this at all, because he knew that she was explaining her funeral arrangements.
But he really couldn't free his hands to cover her mouth, so he could only cry with red eyes and aching chest.
"Wen Wan!" He gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to do anything wrong, I will die with you. I can't even protect you, so why should I care about my son? Let him fend for himself!"
How could she forget that he was a soldier at heart, and that she could only reason with him when he was in a good mood. At other times, he would act like a spoiled brat.
But……
Just like Meng Jin said, you have to try your best in life.
Wen Wan sneered, "Anyway, I just hope you get out alive. If you want me to hate you, then go ahead and do whatever you want."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly let go of Shen Yu's waist, turned around and jumped off the horse.
Shen Yu reached out to grab it, and clearly had grabbed her collar, but when she fell, she was still holding a dagger in her hand, and the dagger directly cut the collar.
Amidst the flying dust, a feather arrow shot out and hit the warhorse under him.
The horse rushed forward like crazy, carrying Shen Yu farther and farther away from Wen Wan.
Shen Yu's face was twisted with panic. He tried to control the horse and turn back, but the dark crowd gathered around him in an instant. Not to mention rushing over, he couldn't even take care of himself.
"Xiao Wan!"
Shen Yu roared hysterically, completely ignoring the swords and knives falling on him. He had only one thought in mind, which was to fight back.
He used all his strength to chop down the people in front of him. Just as he had torn a hole in the crowd, he saw a guard in the distance raising a long knife and slashing at Wen Wan.
At that moment, Shen Yu almost forgot to breathe.
He completely disregarded his own safety and fought forward as if his life depended on it.
But there were too many enemies around, and he could only watch the long sword fall on Wen Wan's shoulder.
When the blood spurted out, Wen Wan's eyes were fixed on him. She moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, blood gushed out of her mouth.
"ah!"
Shen Yu roared, his heart ached, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"General!"
When Agui brought people to support him, Chen Yu was covered in blood, looking like a madman, and had his eyes red with killing.
Seeing Shen Yu losing his mind, Agui did not hesitate and shouted loudly: "Protect the general and rush out, I will cover the rear!"
"Yes!" everyone responded tragically.
Unfortunately, the number of people on both sides was too different. Even if Agui and others were good at fighting, it would be very difficult for them to break out of the encirclement.
They protected Shen Yu while fighting and retreating, and when the last person fell, they finally broke out of the encirclement.
*
It was a dark night and the wind was cold.
In the deep bamboo forest, there is only a winding path extending to the end of the darkness.
On the small road, a warhorse was dragging a man slowly forward with unsteady steps.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the warhorse finally couldn't hold on any longer, and its front hooves gave way, causing it to fall to the ground.
After the warhorse fell to the ground, it foamed at the mouth, twitched for a while, and then became completely motionless.
The person who was being carried woke up after being thrown down.
His whole body seemed to be soaked in blood, and the smell of blood spread from him, attracting several hungry wolves to wander around the woods.
Shen Yu weakly opened his eyes and saw a waning moon hanging in the sky.
"Xiao Wan..."
He murmured these two words, and slowly turned his head with all his strength, but found that on this narrow path, there was only the warhorse that fell with him.
There was no Wen Wan, no Agui, and no brothers who rushed to save him at the risk of their lives.
The world was very quiet, and Shen Yu could only hear his own heavy breathing, which became more and more rapid.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the capital city has been very lively these days, with people coming and going preparing for the festival.
Four months have passed since the little emperor ascended the throne.
This was the first family reunion festival after the young emperor ascended the throne. Everyone in the palace attached great importance to it. The Empress Dowager issued an imperial decree to invite officials of the fifth rank and above to the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
The chief eunuch calculated the expenses for the banquet and was extremely worried.
After dismissing the extraneous palace servants, he said to He Qingqing in embarrassment, "Empress Dowager, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is coming soon, but the treasury is empty. We are really stretched to the limit."
