Upon seeing that Qingfeng had fainted, a strong man from the Tatar side immediately came out, picked up Qingfeng, and fled in the direction of leaving the city.
The Divine Eagle Guards here were all trained by Qingfeng and Mingyue. To them, Qingfeng and Mingyue were both their leaders and their family.
Their status was second only to Xuanyuan Che.
Therefore, when Qingfeng was taken away, the Divine Eagle Guards immediately split into two groups: one half stayed behind to protect Xuanyuan Che, and the other half chased after him without hesitation to rescue Qingfeng.
Lanting had been hanging out with Qingfeng and the others for so long, and considering the relationship between Han Zhongyu and Xuanyuan Che, he couldn't bear to see anything happen to Qingfeng. He wanted to send two people to lend a hand, but he was afraid that this was a scheme by the other side, so after thinking about it, he decided to hold back.
After all, protecting Xie Yushu and Xuan Yuanche was their primary mission.
Not long after the Divine Eagle Guards gave chase, another group of people arrived, still numbering over thirty. They immediately engaged Lan Ting and his group in fierce combat, all displaying a reckless and ruthless fighting style. Compared to the previous group, their attacks were even faster and more ruthless, each strike potentially fatal.
These thirty-odd people immediately entangled the rest of the group. Then another thirty people arrived and used the same trick, heading straight for the inner courtyard.
At this time, only Mingyue, leading two Divine Eagle Guards, and Liu Qiang, Chen Chuang, and their group remained in the inner courtyard.
Xie Yushu, Qu Xiaodie, Nanxing, Zhao Humu, and the others were still not fully recovered and were in a precarious state.
Among this group, only Mingyue and the two Divine Eagle Guards were truly resilient. Liu Qiang and Chen Chuang, along with their group, were at a disadvantage against each other.
So after a short while, Liu Qiang and Chen Chuang were both seriously injured and had no choice but to fight back desperately.
Mingyue and the two Divine Eagle Guards were not having an easy time either. The three of them were surrounded by more than a dozen people and were already wounded. They just instinctively stood around Xuan Yuanche, risking being stabbed themselves rather than exposing Xuan Yuanche to the Tatars.
Seeing this, Xie Yushu disregarded whether her wound would reopen and joined the battle, drawing her sword and blocking several of the enemies fighting them from in front of Mingyue and the others!
At the same time, Qu Xiaodie, Nanxing, Zhao Humu, and the others also drew their swords and joined the battle.
However, these wounded soldiers, despite their best efforts, were no match for the elite Tatar soldiers, and after only a few exchanges, they all fell to the ground.
Qu Xiaodie suffered a comminuted fracture of one shoulder and was bound up like a dumpling by Xie Yushu. She could only move one arm to begin with, and had lost too much blood, which greatly reduced her balance. When she was knocked away by a palm strike, she couldn't get up.
Before long, Xie Yushu and Nan Xing's wounds started bleeding again.
Zhao Hu was beaten until he coughed up blood, and Mu Li was stabbed again.
In just a short while, one of Xuanyuan Che's Divine Eagle Guards had died, but he refused to fall. He was kicked twice by the Tatars before finally collapsing in front of Xuanyuan Che with his eyes wide open in death.
Xuanyuan Che's eyes also reddened. He shouted to Xie Yushu, "Don't worry about him, just leave!" He then drew his sword and started fighting as well.
However, Xuan Yuanche's kung fu was really mediocre. After only a few moves, his arm was grabbed and he was about to be caught when another Divine Eagle Guard pulled back his half-drawn sword and slashed it at the neck of the person who was pulling Xuan Yuanche.
After that man finally breathed his last, the Divine Eagle Guard was also stabbed in the back and fell to the ground dead.
Xie Yushu gritted her teeth and directly filled the gap in front of Xuan Yuanche.
Seeing this, Nanxing followed closely behind and fought alongside Xie Yushu.
Upon seeing this, Liu Qiang and Chen Chuang stepped in front of the two women.
At this moment, Mingyue was already wounded in many places and was at her last gasp. In the end, she could not hold on any longer and could only stand beside Xuanyuan Che with her sword in hand, closing her eyes unwillingly.
Then, he was stabbed through the abdomen by a Tatar and kicked to the ground.
In the end, he used his body to shield his master from another blow.
"Bright moon!"
Xuan Yuanche's eyes were bloodshot with rage. Seeing Mingyue fall, he fiercely raised his sword and slashed at the person who killed Mingyue.
After dodging, the man kicked Xuan Yuanche's wrist. Xuan Yuanche felt the pain, and the sword in his hand flew out of his grasp.
Seeing this, Xie Yushu hurriedly turned around and thrust her sword at the Tatar who was trying to capture Xuan Yuanche.
As a result of the vast difference in physical strength, the other man deflected his sword and sent him flying with a single palm strike.
Liu Qiang was originally standing behind Xie Yushu, and when Xie Yushu was knocked away, she crashed directly into Liu Qiang.
At the same time, a Tatar sword came down, about to strike Xie Yushu's neck. At the critical moment, Liu Qiang rolled over and shielded Xie Yushu with his body, taking a solid blow to his back.
When Xie Yushu saw the knife coming down, she instinctively raised her arm to block it, but the knife was suddenly blocked by Liu Qiang. Then she saw Liu Qiang's face turn pale, he staggered, and with all his might, he thrust the knife backward and swung it horizontally, throwing the seriously injured man away.
In that very instant, Xuanyuan Che was also grabbed by a Tatar and held hostage with a knife to his neck.
The man, having succeeded, immediately shouted...
"All people of Daqi, cease all resistance! Your prince is in my hands. Anyone who resists again, I will kill him immediately!"
The remaining few, seeing that Xuan Yuanche had been kidnapped, dared not make any further moves.
Everyone turned to look at Xie Yushu.
Xie Yushu didn't even think twice before saying...
"Don't do anything reckless. If even a single hair on Xuanyuan Che's head is missing, none of you will leave Daqi alive!"
Upon hearing this, the Tatar pressed his sword down even lower, threatening...
"Even if we can't leave the Great Qi, it's worth it to take a prince of the Great Qi down with us!"
Our lives are not as precious as his!
"If you don't want him to die, put down your weapons and make way for us."
With her weakness in someone else's hands, Xie Yushu was helpless and could only give orders to everyone.
"Put down your weapons! Make way for them."
To keep the man calm, he said again...
"Don't hurt him. Tell us your conditions, and we will meet them. Tell us what you want, and we will have it prepared!"
That man, however, said dismissively.
"You are not worthy to know my conditions. We will only discuss them with the Emperor of your Great Qi."
You'd better not make any rash moves. I have a bad temper, and if you dare to do anything rash, I can't guarantee his life or death.
Anyway, our army has already been defeated, and we don't intend to go back alive. At worst, we'll all die together.
Seeing this, Xie Yushu, who had originally wanted to delay and wait for reinforcements to arrive, no longer dared to block the way.
Those who have nothing to lose are fearless; who knows what they might do in desperation? She dared not risk Xuan Yuanche's safety, and could only wave her hand again.
"Do as he says."
As soon as Xie Yushu finished speaking, everyone had no choice but to reluctantly take two steps back to make way for them.
That man, along with the Tatars, held Xuan Yuanche hostage and slowly retreated away.
Xie Yushu and the others also forced themselves to stay upright and followed them out.
