The Tatars had just taken Xuan Yuanche hostage when they were surrounded by Lan Ting and his group outside. After a fierce fight, only seven or eight of Lan Ting's group remained, and all of them were injured.
However, seeing that Xuan Yuanche had been taken hostage, they had all prepared for the worst.
Even if it costs us our lives, we must save Xuan Yuanche. Otherwise, if Xuan Yuanche falls into their hands, Da Qi will be forced to passively accept their exorbitant demands.
The Tatars grew increasingly impatient as their path was blocked once again. Their time was limited, and they estimated that the first group and the group holding back the city's defenses had already reached their limit. If they did not hurry to evacuate, they would easily be surrounded by the Qi people who had caught up with the situation.
Only then will it be a complete failure.
Desperate to escape, the Tatar suddenly slashed Xuanyuan Che's arm and threatened him.
"Everyone, step back. If anyone takes another step forward, I'll make another hole in him."
Xie Yushu was both shocked and angry, and could only wave her hand again to signal her people to step back.
Xuan Yuanche, who was usually delicate, was in so much pain that his face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound.
Seeing that no one was going to play any more tricks, the Tatars grabbed Xuan Yuanche by the neck with one hand and half-dragged, half-pulled him away from the city.
As Xuanyuan Che was being dragged away, he suddenly threw something at Xie Yushu and said urgently...
"Sister, keep this as a souvenir for you, don't forget me!"
Also, you and that blockhead Eryu, you both need to take good care of yourselves!
The Tatars used almost all their light-footed skills to escape quickly, so much so that the second half of Xuanyuan Che's sentence was carried by the wind.
Upon hearing this, Xie Yushu felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart. Instinctively, she grabbed what he had thrown at her, only to find that it was a piece of jet-black iron with a majestic eagle engraved in the center.
It was actually the token of the Divine Eagle Guard!
"Quickly! Go find Han Zhongyu and tell him that Xuan Yuanche has been kidnapped and left the city through the north gate. Make sure he sends men to rescue Xuan Yuanche!"
Those around him, upon hearing this, turned and headed towards the city wall.
Xie Yushu gripped the token tightly, not daring to think too deeply about what Xuan Yuanche was up to. She prayed in her heart that Han Zhongyu would definitely save Xuan Yuanche.
At the same time, he also followed along, staggering, with the people who were still able to move.
Meanwhile, Xuanyuan Che, who was being held hostage by the Tatars, had just left the city when he encountered Qingfeng and the others who had been rescued.
Upon seeing that their master had been kidnapped, Qingfeng and the others immediately spread out their formation and surrounded all the Tatars.
"You audacious barbarian!"
How dare you injure my prince! If you know what's good for you, release him immediately, and I'll spare your lives!
Otherwise, I will make sure you die a horrible death!
The Tatars were now desperate. If they weren't mistaken, pursuers were already on their way. Success or failure hinged on this moment, and they couldn't afford to ruin it. So, they became increasingly reckless. When Qingfeng blocked their way, the man stabbed Xuanyuan Che in the shoulder again without saying a word.
The continuous, intense pain immediately triggered Xuan Yuanche's heart condition. His breathing became visibly rapid, his lips turned purple, and a large amount of sweat poured from his forehead.
Qingfeng hurriedly threw down his weapon and made a gesture of surrender.
"Alright, alright, we won't stop you. Let go of my master, he's having a heart attack, make sure he takes his medicine right away!"
The Tatar barbarian had no idea about heart disease; he still held onto Xuan Yuanche tightly and refused to let go, even trying to forcibly take him away.
Xuanyuan Che felt like he was suffocating; he had never felt so uncomfortable before. While he was still conscious, he clutched his heart, which was pounding in his chest, and struggled to give the order to Qingfeng.
"My final order to you, Qingfeng, is to take the remaining Divine Eagle Guards, acknowledge Xie Yushu as your master, and bury me at Yuquan, Wushan, Manor!"
Qingfeng was greatly surprised
"My lord, please hold on a little longer! The princess is a highly skilled physician; she will surely be able to save you!"
Blood was already trickling from the corner of Xuan Yuanche's mouth. Looking at Qingfeng's anxious expression, he gave a bitter smile.
"I am the carefree king of Great Qi. It is a pity that I cannot fight on the battlefield to protect my country. How can I become a bargaining chip for the barbarians outside the pass to threaten Great Qi?"
Tell Mother that my father died in battle, on the battlefield, without disgracing the Xuanyuan family's reputation.
My death has nothing to do with anyone!
In just a few words, Xuan Yuanche was panting heavily, his face even contorted in pain. The Tatar still thought Xuan Yuanche was too delicate and refused to loosen his grip, pushing him forward without stopping.
Xuanyuan Che glanced at the knife not far from his neck, and with his last bit of strength, he grabbed the back of the blade and slammed it against him.
A jet of blood spurted from his neck instantly.
"master!"
"Master!"
"Xuanyuan Che!"
The first two sounds were from Qingfeng and the others, and the last sound was from Xie Yushu, who had just caught up.
Qingfeng and the few Divine Eagle Guards turned red-eyed and instantly drew their swords to kill.
Xie Yushu stumbled and fell to the ground.
He was helped up again and stumbled as he ran toward Xuan Yuanche.
She didn't actually remember how she got to Xuan Yuanche's side. That short distance was filled with the image of that splattering column of blood.
The Tatars were stunned. They never expected that the famously pampered Prince of Qi would actually commit suicide.
Without any bargaining chips, the Tatars were momentarily stunned. Instinctively, they abandoned Xuan Yuanche and tried to turn back to kidnap Xie Yushu.
But they were relentlessly beaten by Qingfeng and his gang, who had gone mad.
Xie Yushu's mind was spinning, and her eyes were blurred with tears, so she couldn't see Xuan Yuanche's face clearly.
She wiped away her tears with trembling hands, only to see Xuan Yuanche still smiling at her, though his neck was bleeding and he could no longer speak.
Perhaps due to excessive blood loss and loss of life, Xuan Yuanche was no longer panting or gasping for breath, but his face was extremely pale.
Xie Yushu's tears fell like beads from a broken string, some landing on Xuan Yuanche's face, others getting into his eyes. Xuan Yuanche blinked and a tear also rolled down his cheek.
Xie Yushu finally found her voice, pressing down on Xuan Yuanche's neck to try and calm his blood pressure, and said in a trembling voice.
"Don't die, don't die, please!"
I was even thinking of going back and starting to research the equipment to perform the surgery on you!
Why are you so disobedient!
Why did you come back?
Are you stupid?
You idiot!
However, no matter how hard Xie Yushu pressed, the blood continued to flow uncontrollably, and the light in Xuan Yuanche's eyes gradually dimmed.
His life ended at the age of seventeen.
"ah--"
Seeing the lifeless Yuan Xuanyuanche before her, Xie Yushu could no longer contain her grief. She let out a heart-wrenching roar and charged at the Tatars with her sword.
At this moment, Xie Yushu seemed like a different person. She was devoid of emotion, warmth, and even reason. All that remained was the rising anger in her heart and the suffocating pain that made it hard to breathe. For the first time, the sword in her hand was wielded with afterimages. Even the killing moves that she had never been able to comprehend before were now handled with ease by her.
What was initially a difficult situation turned into a one-sided crushing defeat because everyone was in a frenzy.
