Jiang Shi had already anticipated that someone would ambush on the road today, so he was not unprepared. The secret guards hiding in the dark appeared and started fighting with Yun Xuan's men.
Rebels who obeyed Yun Xuan's orders appeared on the street at some point. They surrounded the carriage that Jiang Shi and Yu Tanqi were riding in, looking very aggressive.
The handsome young man in armor held a bow and arrow, looked at Jiang Shi coldly, with a sinister smile on his face.
"None of you can escape today."
He drew his bow and shot an arrow at the brown horse pulling the carriage.
The brown horse neighed in pain, and the driver could not control it, so the carriage was thrown around.
Yu Tanqi was dizzy and dazed.
She heard Yun Xuan's voice. This guy not only made life difficult for Jiang Shi, but also for her.
First, he launched a rebellion on her and Jiang Shi's wedding night. Two days later, he blocked her way home and attacked them.
She couldn't help but wonder whether it was Jiang Shi who had a grudge against him, or whether it was her, Yu Tanqi, who had a grudge against him.
He insisted on choosing these two important and special days to cause trouble.
Yu Tanqi was so angry that she clenched the dagger in her hand like Red Riding Hood holding a frying pan. She wished she could go out and confront Yun Xuan and have him fight her in a duel.
But although she was too angry, she still had self-awareness. She knew that she was no match for Yun Xuan, and there were a lot of rebels outside, and she might be killed in seconds if she showed her head.
She had no doubt that Yun Xuan would kill her, the weakest one.
Villains are like this, they like to use the people the protagonist cares about most to threaten and torture the protagonist.
However, Yu Tanqi refused to come out, and Yun Xuan forced her to come out.
While the armies of both sides were fighting, he was holding a bow and arrow and only shooting at the horses pulling the carriage.
Jiang Shi wanted to get close to Yun Xuan, but was stopped by Yun Xuan's subordinate Hou Lang.
Danqing hurried over with a sword in hand, "Master, I will help you."
Hou Lang said in a deep voice: "Stop Jiang Shi and protect the prince."
The surrounding rebels rushed towards Jiang Shi one after another.
Jiang Shi was not wearing armor and had to carefully avoid the rebels' swords and guns. He used his long sword to cut a bloody path towards Yun Xuan.
"Yun Xuan, if you have the guts, come at me. Why are you targeting my wife?"
This sentence irritated Yun Xuan. He suddenly looked at Jiang Shi, his eyes emotionless, but a sinister smile played on his lips. "It is precisely because she is your wife that I am targeting her so much. If you divorce her, I will naturally only come after you."
Jiang Shi pursed his lips tightly, stopped talking nonsense with him, and stabbed him without hesitation with the sword in hand.
It's better for the annoying people to die so that they won't say disgusting things.
Both of them harbored cold murderous intentions towards each other. They had not been able to actually fight in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion and the palace the day before. This time, Jiang Shi was determined not to give Yun Xuan any chance to escape.
Yun Xuan had the same idea.
He sneered: "Today, either you die or I live."
He has no way out.
If he fails to kill Jiang Shi today, he will not be able to succeed in his attempt to usurp the throne.
Jiang Shi is even more powerful than he imagined.
He had dueled with Jiang Shi many times, and each of them had a certain understanding of each other's skills. Therefore, when Jiang Shi's sword was about to pierce him, he decisively dodged and then shot an arrow at him.
Compared to swords, arrows are naturally faster.
When Jiang Shi saw the horse fall to the ground shortly after being shot by an arrow, he knew that the arrow was poisonous and had to be extremely careful.
As the two men fought, they unknowingly approached the carriage that was forced to stop.
Yun Xuan decisively entered the carriage. Yu Tanqi, who was well prepared, stabbed at him with a dagger. However, Yun Xuan reacted quickly and dodged it safely. He grabbed her wrist with his backhand, snatched the dagger from her hand, and put it to her throat.
"Don't move."
Yu Tanqi's hands were handcuffed behind his back by Yun Xuan's other hand, and he looked at Jiang Shi coldly.
Linlang and Taohua rushed to Yunxuan, trying to save Yu Tanqi.
"Miss!"
However, the two men couldn't even beat Yun Xuan with one hand, and their foreheads hit the hard inner wall of the carriage. After a dizzy spell, they fainted.
"Jiang Shi, you don't want her to die, right?"
The sharp blade of Yun Xuan's dagger seemed to be able to cut the girl's fragile throat with just the slightest movement.
Jiang Shi's heart skipped a beat and his face turned grim, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Don't hurt her."
Yu Tanqi didn't dare to move, for fear that her neck would be cut accidentally. She didn't want to die so early.
She cursed Yun Xuan in her heart for only knowing how to bully weak women.
This was the second time Yun Xuan used Yu Tanqi to threaten Jiang Shi.
Whether she is with Jiang Shi or not, Yun Xuan will grab her to threaten Jiang Shi.
Her existence is Jiang Shi’s weakness.
Jiang Shi never hid it, nor could he hide it.
Even if they have no feelings for each other, as long as Yu Tanqi is Jiang Shi’s fiancée, even if the engagement is cancelled, no matter where she is, Yun Xuan will use her safety to threaten Jiang Shi.
Because he knew that with Jiang Shi's character, he would never give up his fiancée and let her die because of him.
Yun Xuan, who was responsible for the Yun family's century-long plan, had long lost his conscience.
In order to get Cheng Su's help, he helped him escape to the capital, regardless of the innocent deaths of the people. Naturally, he could also kill all the people close to Jiang Shi in order to deal with him.
But Jiang Shi can be said to be a lonely man, with only Yu Tanqi.
Looking at Jiang Shi's nervous and forbearing appearance, Yun Xuan couldn't help but sneer, "If you want me not to hurt her, it depends on what you do."
"What do you want?"
"Tell your men to lay down their weapons."
"Once my men have laid down their weapons, your men will not be able to attack them."
"nature."
Yun Xuan didn't think Jiang Shi was a fool who only had eyes for beautiful women.
Jiang Shi then did as he was told.
The surroundings suddenly became much quieter.
Yun Xuan looked at Jiang Shi coldly and said, "Put down your sword too."
Jiang Shi threw the sword on the ground.
"Back off."
Jiang Shi looked at Yun Xuan and took a few steps back.
Yun Xuan then shackled Yu Tanqi and led him out of the carriage.
Yu Tanqi kept looking at Jiang Shi and blinking.
Jiang Shi pursed his lips slightly and nodded imperceptibly.
Just as Yun Xuan opened his lips to speak, Yu Tanqi raised her hand and grabbed his neck fiercely, forcing him to let go and grab her hand. She took the opportunity to escape from his shackles, quickly picked up the long sword on the ground, turned around and stabbed him in the heart.
This set of movements is smooth and fluid, and it can be seen that such proficiency is achieved through regular training in the past.
Yun Xuan was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the chest by the sword, but the heavy armor blocked most of the damage for him. He reacted and reached out to grab Yu Tanqi.
At this time, Jiang Shi came over and pulled Yu Tanqi away. The two switched positions and he started fighting with Yun Xuan.
Yu Tanqi was supported by Dan Hua who came rushing over.
"Miss, I'll take you away now."
Jiang Shi's men immediately picked up the weapons on the ground and continued to fight with the rebels.
Yu Tanqi couldn't help but look back.
Jiang Shi met her gaze and shook his head, telling her not to look back and to leave quickly.
When Yu Tanqi wanted to turn back, he saw Yun Xuan's eyes again.
His eyes looked strange, as if he was unwilling and regretful.
Yu Tanqi frowned and turned back without looking back.
