Just as the two of them stopped and were about to take cover, a sharp arrow suddenly shot towards them.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Xu Yuehuai shoved Qi Guze aside, and Qi Guze immediately drew his sword and swung it, slashing away all the other arrows that were shot at him.
Then more and more arrows came hurtling towards them.
However, those people did not harm Xu Yuehuai; instead, they all attacked Qi Guze.
At this point, they couldn't see the other side at all, and had no idea who was targeting them.
"Your Highness, they don't seem to dare to harm me. You should quickly hide behind me!"
"If they dare to hurt you, they'll have to step over my dead body first!"
Xu Yuehua wanted to protect Qi Guze, but Qi Guze was unwilling to stand behind Xu Yuehua.
"Don't be like this. Even if they don't harm you, I don't need your protection!"
"I can handle these attacks; you'd better run!"
Qi Guze leaped off his horse, then slapped its rump, trying to urge it to carry Xu Yuehuai away quickly.
Xu Yuehuai wasn't very good at riding horses either, and worried about falling off, she quickly pulled on the reins, and the horse galloped off.
She ran further and further away, growing ever more distant from Qi Guze.
"Your Highness! If everyone is leaving, let's go together! Please don't stay behind alone!"
"Your Highness! I don't want anything to happen to you!"
"I don't want to walk alone!"
Xu Yuehua shouted loudly, but Qi Guze did not respond at all.
He carried a soft sword alone, constantly swinging it, trying to fight against his opponent.
The enemy, however, was very powerful, and more and more arrows were being fired at them.
Qi Guze deflected almost all the arrows, except for one that was lodged in his arm.
When Xu Yuehuai saw that Qi Guze was injured, she wanted to rush forward to help him, but the horse wouldn't listen to her at all and kept charging forward, carrying her away from the area.
"Your Highness! Don't try to tough it out on yourself! Let me go back! I want to help you!"
She cried out, but Qi Guze had no intention of letting her come into contact with danger.
So many people want to kill them now, and since the other party is going to spare Xu Yuehuai and is only targeting him, he certainly won't let Xu Yuehuai fall into such danger.
"I didn't expect you to be able to hold out for so long, all by yourself, and still be alive after holding off so many of my men."
"You do have some real skills, but you're all alone. It would be incredibly easy for me to deal with you!"
Suddenly, Ah Qi stepped out from behind those people.
Qi Guze looked ahead and saw the leader of those who wanted to kill him.
"Ah Qi, I am your royal uncle! Why did you attack me?"
"Stop pretending with me. I know you've already guessed my true identity. I'm not your nephew at all. Your nephew is Anan! If you tell me where Anan is now, I might spare your life."
"But if you don't tell me, I won't go easy on you."
How could Qi Guze possibly reveal Anan's location?
Anan is his real nephew! He is the real son of the Emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom! He is the Crown Prince!
If Anan dies, the Great Zhou Kingdom will probably be turned upside down.
As long as Anan is alive, Aqi can forget about staying in the position of Crown Prince for even a day.
Qi Guze would never tell Aqi where Anan was. "Forget about it. Even if you kill me, I will never harm Anan!"
"Alright, I was just bluffing you. I didn't expect you to actually know that Anan is the real crown prince. In that case, there's no need for you to live any longer. As for where Anan is, I'll go find him myself."
"As long as I live in this world, I will never let him live!"
"Since I exist in this world, there's no need for him to exist!"
Ah Qi now desperately wants to kill Ah Nan, and before that happens, he won't let Qi Gu Ze live a good life.
"Considering you helped me before, I won't kill you. If you want to fight back, then come at me. If you can survive, then you're really something."
"But if you lose, it's your own fault for dying."
Immediately, Anan dispatched his strongest men.
Let that person fight Qi Guze directly, without letting anyone else help.
Upon hearing this, Qi Guze gripped his soft sword tightly and immediately attacked, engaging in combat with his opponent.
Although he was seriously injured, he still handled this person with ease and quickly defeated him.
Then, just as Qi Guze was about to deliver the killing blow, suddenly, another sword came slashing down.
Ah Qi said, "I didn't say that I would let you go as long as you defeat this person."
"I'll have them fight you one by one. If you can take them all down, I'll let you leave."
Qi Guze knew from the beginning that A Qi was particularly shameless, but he never expected him to be so insidious.
He was seriously injured, and even if he fought each of these people one by one, he would eventually be worn down to death.
He simply couldn't handle so many people at once. The way Ah Qi was treating him was clearly an attempt to wear him down!
However, if Qi Guze doesn't fight against A Qi's men, he might die soon.
Fighting those people now will buy us more time.
Qi Guze kept calculating when his men would arrive.
He had sent Marquis Ningyuan to find his men early in the morning, and they should arrive here soon.
Qi Guze first fought against A Qi's men, and after they were all beaten down, Qi Guze selected some people with lower combat strength to stall for time.
Time passed quickly, and soon Ah Qi finally got fed up and wanted to have Qi Gu Ze killed.
Just as those people were about to make their move, Qi Guze's men suddenly arrived on tall horses.
"With us here, no one can harm our prince!"
"You traitors, all of you, die!"
"Your Highness, please forgive our lateness!"
Pei Xuan and Duan Nian arrived with their men to rescue Qi Guze.
Seeing that Qi Guze was seriously injured and surrounded by A Qi's men, they quickly dealt with A Qi's men and knocked them all to the ground.
"To harm the prince while we're away, I'm really good at planning!"
"Now that we're here, let's see what you do now!"
