"I followed the eagle and found the right person! He is right here!"

"Kill—"

There were chaotic shouts coming from under the snowdrifts.

The killers came over.

They set up an ambush on the mountain road to hunt down Sultan Kublai, but they saw that he was seriously injured and they were unable to take his head as they wished. He escaped. A group of people chased him all the way up the mountain. As they were circling the mountain, suddenly someone spotted the eagle that often circled over the palace appeared in the sky and hurriedly chased after it.

Although I don’t know what the three people who suddenly appeared are doing, as long as they are standing with Sultan Kumbh, they must be his partners, so I will kill them without any mistake!

Unfortunately, Sultan reacted too quickly and dodged the first wave of iron arrows! The sharp blade was coated with poison, so why didn't he get poisoned yet?

The leader hiding behind the strange rocks was furious and roared. At one command, several bowstrings were pulled at the same time, vibrating and firing arrows at a rapid speed like lightning. The arrows shot out from between the strange rocks with silver flashing on their tips. In an instant, they gathered into a rain of arrows and covered the Sultan.

Yao Ying hid in Sultan Gu's arms, listening to the sharp sounds of the wind and snow tearing through the air, and her heart was terrified.

Arrows rained down from the sky, and Sultan placed his cold palms on her neck, with his arms open, his shoulders and back straight, his waist arched, holding her tightly under him.

He hugged her too tightly. Yao Yingsi couldn't move at all. She was forced to cling tightly to his shoulders, unable to breathe.

The sharp sound of arrows piercing the air was close to her ears, and the shouts of killing were getting closer and closer. She could not see a thing, and had no idea what was happening outside. She could only feel the steady, almost imperceptible heartbeat in Sultan's chest. His embrace was cold and hard, and a strong smell of blood mixed with wind and snow filled her nose.

She felt a sticky sensation on her waist. Sultan led her to dodge the arrows, and the wounds began to bleed again.

The killers swarmed in and scrambled to climb up the snowdrifts.

Iron arrows flew towards Sultan Gu and Yao Ying, making deep holes in the snow.

Bisuo's eyes were bloodshot, and he drew his sword from its sheath. He swept across the steep slope and met the assassins who were besieging him. He asked in a deep voice: "The commander-in-chief of the Royal Guards, Ashina Bisuo, is here. Who dares to assassinate the Regent Prince?"

This question was uttered in a low voice, but it burst out slowly from between the teeth word by word. The killer under the snow pile heard it clearly. The few people running in the front obviously hesitated for a moment, and their momentum weakened a little.

Bi Su's face turned pale: These people hesitated because of his identity, they are indeed people from the royal court!

The Regent will die for the royal court. Anyone in the royal court who dares to assassinate the Regent deserves to die!

"Get out." Bi Suo's eyes were red enough to bleed. "If anyone takes another step forward, I will kill him without mercy."

The killers looked at each other. Sultan Kumbh was trusted by the Buddhists and was elusive. No one knew where he lived. If they couldn't kill him now when he was seriously injured, they would never have the chance in the future!

Everyone made up their minds and continued to rush forward with loud shouts and screams.

Bi Suo was furious, his eyes darkened, he raised his long sword and rushed into the encirclement, slashing left and right, as fast as the wind.

The killers screamed one after another and fell to the ground one after another. Blood gushed out and dyed the snow red.

Yuanjue drew his sword and flew behind Bisha, chopping down a killer who wanted to attack him with one blow. They stood back to back with each other, keeping watch on each other. Both of them had received training as Buddhist guards since childhood, and were good at close combat. They could understand each other's intentions with just a glance or a gesture without uttering a word. They attacked and defended tightly, blocking the killer in front of the snow pile to prevent him from getting close.

Several waves of iron arrows shot out, the bowstrings stopped buzzing for a moment, the killer was blocked under a pile of snow, and his unwilling roar resounded through the sky.

Sultan Kumar did not stand up.

Yao Ying heard Bi Suo's voice calling out to Sultan Gu in a low voice during a gap in the enemy's battle. She calmed herself down and tried to push Sultan Gu.

Sultan Kumar was motionless, his whole body tense.

Yao Ying's heart skipped a beat and she struggled a few times. She carefully put her hands around his injured chest, reached up along his arms, hugged his neck, exerted force, and rolled him forward.

Sultan Gu collapsed on the snow, his arms still hooked around Yao Ying's neck and back.

Yao Ying was pressing on his waist and hurriedly pried his arms apart. His eyes were closed and he had fainted, but his arms were tightly wrapped around her. She had to use force to push his arms away and roll off him into the snow.

"General Su?"

The Sultan did not respond.

Yaoying's eyes were moist. It was obvious that Sudang had used up all his strength to save her just now.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Bishomon, covered in blood, rushed over and knelt down: "Regent!"

Yao Ying calmed down and said, "He passed out."

A stray arrow flew towards him from the sky. Bisha raised his sword to block it. He held Sultan's hand and took his pulse for a while. His face changed drastically. He then leaned over and listened to his chest for a while, his eyebrows twitching.

"It will be too late if we delay any longer. He won't be able to hold on for much longer."

Bi Suo looked around with her green eyes, breathing rapidly, gritted her teeth, took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, bit open the cork, and handed it to Yao Ying.

"Feed him."

Yaoying took the porcelain bottle and smelled a strange fragrance. This bottle of medicine was kept by Bisu and was different from the medicine he had just given her.

"How much do you want to eat?"

Bi Su said coldly: "Feed it all to him."

Yao Ying was startled and looked at Bi Suo: "How can he bear to take a bottle of medicine?!"

She was a person who often took pills and knew the harm of pills. It was obvious that the medicine that Bi Su gave her was not an ordinary medicine. Taking more than ten pills of this kind of medicine at once would cause irreparable damage to the body!

Bi Su lowered her eyes, avoiding Yao Ying's gaze, and a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of her lips: "Princess, the Regent King has been taking this medicine since he was five years old, and it's always the same."

"Ordinary people can't stand it..."

He turned around and looked at the assassins who were rushing forward one after another. The mockery on his face became even stronger. He held the knife with such force that his hand turned blue. He murmured in a low voice, "The Regent can do it."

Yao Ying's heart was shaken, and she lowered her eyes to look at Sultan Gu's face.

The wound was so severe that his appearance could not be seen. His eyes were closed and his eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Although he exuded murderous aura, he had a pair of calm, indifferent, and clear blue eyes.

He started taking medicine at the age of five, when he was still a child...

A killer came over with a curved knife in hand. Bisa jumped up and grappled with the killer. She turned back and urged Yaoying, "Feed him! He can't hold on any longer!"

Sudan Gu's pulse was weak and he was breathing completely. Yao Ying did not dare to hesitate any longer. She helped him up tremblingly, poured the pills into his palm, and fed them to him one by one.

Sultan Kumar was already unconscious and unable to swallow. Yao Ying moved closer, pinched his chin, and asked him to open his mouth.

When I rubbed my fingers across his chin, I didn't know what I touched, but there was a strange feeling between my fingertips, as if there was an extra layer of something.

Yao Ying hugged Sultan Gu and looked into his closed eyes.

He carries a lot of secrets.

Yao Ying was distracted for a while, her eyes flickered a few times, her fingers avoided that place, and continued to feed Sudang Gu the medicine.

There were several sharp noises in the air, and stray arrows flew down.

Yao Ying leaned over hurriedly and threw her whole body on Sultan Gu.

A figure flew over, swung a long sword, and blocked the arrow for her.

The arrow hit the ground, piercing through layers of snow, and the tail of the arrow shook violently.

Yao Ying's heart skipped a beat and she raised her head.

Bisa stood before her, holding a long knife in his hand, and stared at her quietly.

Sultan was tall and straight. When she stood side by side with him, she could only reach his shoulders. Did she think that she could block the arrows for him just by throwing herself on him?

She couldn't, but she hugged Sultan Gu without hesitation and protected him with her fragile body.

Bisha's sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned.

Yao Ying hugged Sultan Gu, looked at Bishuo, and opened her mouth: "Behind!"

Without thinking, Bisa immediately leaned down to avoid the spear that was stabbing at him from the side, and stabbed the killer with a backhanded knife, causing blood to spurt all over the ground.

His face was covered in blood, with drops of blood flowing from the corners of his eyes, nose, and mouth. He looked at Yao Ying deeply, wiped the blood off the knife, turned around and rushed towards Yuan Jue who was surrounded.

Yao Ying looked around. Although Bi Suo and Yuan Jue worked well together, they could not stop all the killers. People kept climbing up the snow pile to kill them.

She didn't look at the corpse on the ground, but forced herself to calm down. She took off the sword from the Sultan's waist and tried to lift it, but she couldn't lift it at all.

The long sword fell heavily to the ground, and the snow beneath his feet was faintly shaking.

Yao Ying was stunned, and looked down, realizing that the vibration just now was not an illusion, the snow was indeed shaking.

There were several loud bangs overhead, as if something was rolling down from the snow-capped peaks that had not melted for years.

Yao Ying raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound. The next moment, her face turned pale.

Huge silver waves rolled up on the mountain peaks, and wherever they passed, huge rocks collapsed and snow flew all over the sky. It seemed that silver waterfalls were hanging between the cliffs, and it looked like thousands of horses were galloping in the snow, rushing down with an unstoppable momentum to devour everything.

Yao Ying's voice trembled: "General! Look!"

Bi Suo, Yuan Jue and the killer, who were concentrating on fighting the enemy, turned around at the same time and looked up in the direction Yao Ying pointed, with fear on their faces.

avalanche!

The killer's shouting just now caused an avalanche!

Everyone stared with their eyes wide open. The sound of long knives falling to the ground could be heard one after another in the crowd. The killer was so frightened that he turned around and ran away without caring about his mission.

Bisu and Yuanjue no longer cared about the killers. They ran towards Yaoying and Sudanggu with all their strength and stretched out their hands to grab the two of them.

Unfortunately, it's still too late.

A thunderous sound came in an instant. Bisu and Yuanjue were too far away... Yaoying grabbed Sudangu's shoulders and dragged him hard, trying to push him towards Bisu.

"king--"

Biso's eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets, and he rushed forward with all his strength.

There was a roar of mountains and seas, and a huge force surged in. Several people were immediately swept away, and there was a white sea in front of their eyes.

In a blink of an eye, their figures all disappeared in the rushing snow.

…

At the foot of the mountain, after the thunder, the frightened horses neighed and the guards were stunned.

Xie Qingan held onto his horse and asked the royal guard, "What happened?"

The bodyguard shivered a few times, pointed at the peak of the silver mountain, and whispered, "It looks like an avalanche."

Xie Qing's face suddenly changed, and he reined in his horse to charge up the mountain.

The guards stopped her and said, "General Ashina has ordered that no one is allowed to go up the mountain without his signal!"

A guard nearby interrupted and said, "We have several avalanches in a month in winter here. The general and his men will be fine."

Just as he finished his words, there were several clear cries from the clouds, and an eagle swooped down, its black shadow as fast as lightning, and hooked one claw at the bodyguard's arm.

The bodyguard raised his arm to catch the eagle, and was shocked to see the black cloth strips on its claws. He told the others to stay, picked out a few loyal subordinates, and rode up the mountain path.

The others did not dare to ask more questions and stayed where they were, looking at the towering peaks and looking at each other in confusion.

Xie Qing wanted to follow the bodyguards up the mountain, but was stopped by others with a gloomy face.

…

On the mountain.

Bisuo stood in front of a huge rock. After releasing the eagle down the mountain to warn others, he turned around and looked at the cliff whose terrain had completely changed after the avalanche. His face was pale and his hands were clenched into fists.

Yuanjue knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and finally let out a wow and sobbed softly.

"Almost... just almost... I'm sorry, King..."

He kept wiping away his tears.

Bi Suo kicked him and said, "Shut up and don't disturb the king."

Yuanjue sniffed and immediately fell silent.

There was a bonfire under the pile of strange rocks in front of him, with flames flickering. Two layers of cloaks were spread on the rocks in front of the fire. Yaoying was lying between the cloaks, covered with a cloak, her cheeks were snow-white, she looked drowsy, and her thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

Sitting next to her was a man with broad shoulders and a fierce face. It was the Sultan who had been unconscious.

He sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. The wound on his chest had been bandaged and applied with medicine. His lips were still pale, but the arms exposed from under his torn clothes no longer showed any signs of inner energy flowing, and there was no longer any chaotic murderous aura surging around him.

Yuanjue was watching over him, his heart still lingering and his shoulders were still shaking as he thought of the thrilling scene just now.

When the snow waves rushed down, he and Bisu were too late to rescue Yaoying and Sudangu, so they could only hide under several huge rocks. Although they were still buried by the collapsed snow, they were fortunately not injured. When the snow waves stopped, the two dug out the snow and saw the place where Yaoying had just stood. His face was ashen, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

There was now a flat field of snow, and nothing could be seen.

The two were heartbroken, and holding on to the last glimmer of hope they dug through the thick snow. The more they dug, the more frightened they became, and in the end they dug out nothing.

Just when the two were completely desperate, they suddenly heard the sound of knocking on boulders!

The two were almost crying with joy. They found the direction where the sound came from and dug deeper. They moved some strange rocks that were suspended in the air and found the figures of Yao Ying and Sultan Gu.

Sudangu woke up and found Yaoying lying in his arms, unconscious.

Bisha and the other man continued digging and rescued the two men. They found some clothes and started a bonfire to keep the two men warm.

Yuanjue wiped the corners of his eyes and held back his tears.

After a moment, the sitting Sultan slowly opened his eyes. His emerald eyes were as clear as the sea. The strange blue color disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Bisu and Yuanjue knew that he was completely sober, and they felt relieved and knelt on one knee to greet him.

"king."

Sultan Gu coughed lightly and his eyes fell on Yao Ying.

Yuan Jue said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I have checked and Princess Wen Zhao is not seriously injured. She has no signs of being shocked. She may have passed out."

Sultan Gu hummed, his breath was weak, he raised his eyes, glanced at Bisa, and said, "There are more than just this group of people lying in ambush, you should go back to the royal court first, don't get involved with them."

He still looks very weak.

Bisa understood and responded respectfully, then took a few steps back and winked at Yuanjue.

Yuanjue stood up and walked towards him.

Bisa took off the outermost layer of light armor, revealing a black robe exactly the same as the one worn by Sultan Gu.

He turned around and looked at Sultan Gu beside the campfire, and whispered, "Protect the king and the princess."

Yuan Jue nodded: "General, it is also very dangerous to lead those killers away. General, please be careful."

Bi Suo smiled, waved at him, turned around and strode away.

An hour later, the guards on the mountain saw a familiar black figure and hurriedly went to greet him: "Regent!"

On the mountain path, a man in a black robe stood facing the wind, with a pair of green eyes and scars on his face, and nodded slightly.

…

Yuanjue stood at the edge of the cliff, watched Bisha walk down the mountain surrounded by her bodyguards, then turned back to the strange rock.
