Only when reinforcements were almost there and the rebels fled did he order the archers to fire arrows at Yun Chuwei.
He didn't actually want his people to kill Yun Chuwei.
He was unable to confirm the previous news.
He feared that if he ordered Yun Chuwei to be shot, he would regret it later when it was proven true.
But now that the rebels have fled, he has no choice but to give the order.
Because if he misses this opportunity, he may never have another chance.
He originally thought that with so many archers firing arrows at Yun Chuwei at once, one of them would surely hit her.
Moreover, he coated the arrows with a deadly poison that would kill if it drew blood; if Yun Chuwei were injured, she would be doomed.
What he didn't expect was that there were guards hidden in the shadows.
The guard was exceptionally agile, dragging aside a shield to block all the archers' arrows.
Moreover, the man actually hurled the arrow back, injuring half of his archers.
Seeing the archer wounded, his face darkened, and he glared fiercely at the man.
He was stunned at first glance.
The person protecting Yun Chuwei was all too familiar.
Both in terms of physique and appearance.
It seems to be... the guard who saved him in the rapeseed field.
He was utterly shocked.
The person who saved him back then seemed to be younger.
This guard is now more mature.
He had also become more robust, but his agility had not diminished.
It was this guard who, dragging a knife, blocked the sword that was thrust at him.
After the guard killed the assassins, he didn't even glance at him.
Only when he spoke up to thank him did the guard say contemptuously, "If my young lady hadn't asked me to save you, I would never have saved this piece of trash."
"Who is your daughter? I want to repay her!" he said at the time.
The guard said with some disdain, "My young lady is the daughter of a noble family, the Yun family. Would she even consider your reward?"
He sensed the guard's disdain for him, so he didn't ask any further questions about his savior.
Seeing the person who saved him back then doing his best to protect Yun Chuwei, what else could he not understand?
However, before he could think it through, his guard spoke up, "Your Highness, we should go. If the Embroidered Uniform Guard sees us, it might cause unnecessary trouble!"
Xie Sheng nodded, then called to the uninjured archers and hurriedly left.
He ignored the wounded archers.
The poison he used had no antidote.
Those archers are doomed.
Fortunately, the archers' bows and arrows were obtained by him from the rebels.
Moreover, the archers' clothes were obtained in exchange for them from the rebels.
The purpose was to pretend they were rebels.
Even if the Embroidered Uniform Guards discovered the bodies of these archers, they wouldn't implicate him.
As long as he doesn't run into the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he'll be fine.
-
Because the arrows came so suddenly and in such large numbers, Yun Chuwei was momentarily stunned.
However, she quickly recovered, used her internal energy to protect her heart meridian, and then planned to try to deflect all the cold arrows using Tai Chi.
She didn't expect that at that moment, someone would suddenly appear and use their shield to block the arrows for her.
She only saw the person's face clearly when he turned around.
She couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Yan, what brings you here?"
The Uncle Yan that Yun Chuwei mentioned was named Yan Wei, the son of the former Marquis Yun's deputy general. After the deputy general's sacrifice, his son was raised by the old lady of the Yun family.
Yan Wei and Madam Yun could be said to have a mother-son relationship.
After Yun Chuwei was born, she was sent to Xian Mountain by the old lady Yun and became a disciple of the Valley Hidden Sect.
Yan Wei was the one who accompanied Yun Chuwei to Xian Mountain at that time.
For so many years, Yan Wei has stayed in Xian Mountain to protect Yun Chuwei.
He even settled down and started a family in Xian Mountain, had children, and used the monthly allowance and rewards given to him by Madam Yun to open three inns and a restaurant at the foot of Xian Mountain.
This time, Yun Chuwei returned to the capital without asking him to come along, because she knew that she wouldn't be able to return to Xianshan anytime soon.
She didn't expect that Yan Wei would still come.
Yan Wei said, "I heard you went to the battlefield, and I felt uneasy, so I came. How could you be so careless? If I hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "I didn't expect there to be an ambush behind this. Thank you, Uncle Yan, for saving my life!"
"I should be thanking you!" Yan Wei said irritably. "Thank you for being alright! Thank you for being safe and sound! Otherwise, I would have been beaten to death by the sect leader and the old lady!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Chuwei smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, please forgive me this time. I promise it won't happen again! Next time, I will definitely be more careful."
It was indeed her fault just now; she should have noticed the situation here much earlier.
Hearing this, Yan Wei sighed helplessly and said, "Do you even believe what you're saying? Are you ever careful or cautious?"
If others had her abilities, they would definitely want to know their own fate clearly to ensure their safety.
She is different.
No matter what happens to her, she forges ahead without hesitation, her motto being to follow her heart and leave life and death to fate!
That was also how the fate of the nation was predicted back then.
She insists on doing things that most people wouldn't dare to do, and she does them regardless of the consequences.
The reason was simply that she saw the country in chaos and wanted to know what the fate of the nation was, and whether she could save the world!
This girl kept saying that she was young and ignorant and regretted predicting the fate of the nation.
Actually, she didn't truly regret it from the bottom of her heart.
It's just that you can't act recklessly when you're fighting, so you only regret it for a moment.
If it were her back then, she wouldn't need him to save her in this situation.
At her peak, she could catch those arrows with her bare hands, and even use their force against them to return them to the men in black above.
You should know that the girl in front of you is the one who has mastered Tai Chi the best in the world.
It's just a pity...
At that moment, reinforcements arrived.
Xie Xin ran over, pulled Yun Chuwei over and checked her over before asking, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine! You can ask Huo Qingjue if you don't believe me!"
Huo Qingjue ignored Yun Chuwei and bowed to Yan Wei, saying earnestly, "Thank you for saving me, chivalrous hero. I will never forget your great kindness!"
He dared not imagine what would have happened if this person hadn't appeared in time to save Yun Chuwei.
Xie Xin glanced at Huo Qingjue, then at the shield at Yan Wei's feet, and at Yun Chuwei's position, and roughly understood what was going on.
She also bowed to Yan Wei, saying, "Thank you for saving me, chivalrous hero!"
