Yun Xun showed no pity and pulled out his longsword, causing blood to gush out from Madam Zhou's wound!
A guard stepped forward to deal with Yun Xun, giving Ye Cunsi a moment to catch the fallen Madam Zhou.
"Why did you save me? I don't need your help!" Ye Cunsi shouted, his eyes red with tears.
He covered Madam Zhou's wound, but he couldn't stop the gushing blood at all, and his hand was instantly stained red with blood!
"I...I just didn't want to see you get hurt. This is...this is what I owe you. You don't need to...you don't need to feel any pressure," Madam Zhou said, her face pale and her words broken.
Ye Cunxi's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept pressing his hand against her wound. He didn't even notice that his hands and lips were trembling.
Madam Zhou smiled weakly: "To be able to get hurt for you, I... I am very content. However, from now on, no one will protect you and your sister anymore. As a man, you should protect her more, okay?"
"I'm not satisfied!" Ye Cunsi roared, "I grew up without parents' love, and I'm all grown up now! I can protect myself, and I don't need you to do anything for me! You don't deserve it, and I won't be grateful to you, I won't!!!"
Madam Zhou paused for a moment, then said, "I don't need your gratitude. I just wanted to save you. It's good that you're alright."
The final sound of the word "了" was omitted, and Madam Zhou tilted her head to the side, her hand fell down, and her eyes closed.
Ye Cunsi's mind went blank for a moment. Madam Zhou was dead? Was she really dead?
Was his mother really dead?
Ye Qingxue tossed a small porcelain bottle over from the side: "This is medicine that Xiangsizi gave me. It has excellent hemostatic and wound-healing properties. Quickly use it on her, don't just stand there!"
Yun Xun raised his longsword to open the porcelain bottle, but Ye Cunsi rushed forward like a madman, shoving him aside and snatching the small porcelain bottle. On the way, he didn't care that his own life was in danger and was slashed by a soldier.
After catching the porcelain bottle, he wanted to return to Madam Zhou's side, but he was stopped by the soldiers. He had no choice but to put it in Granny Kang's hands and say, "Feed her!"
He picked up his longsword and charged towards Yun Xun.
The blood-soaked youth, with bloodshot eyes and a deep aura of malevolence, was unstoppable. He killed anyone who stood in his way, and those around Yun Xun were gradually overwhelmed and slaughtered by Ye Cunsi.
Wherever Ye Cunsi went, blood was spilled, and corpses lay beside him, forcing Yun Xun to retreat step by step!
"You want to kill me? You, Ye Qingxue, and Yun Zhuo are all traitors who have rebelled! Don't think that General Lan can bring a historian into the palace to meet the Emperor. It's not that easy!"
"Don't say you lack the ability to kill me. Even if you did, you wouldn't survive in the capital. Killing me would only lead to the extermination of your entire Ye clan—"
Yun Xun said, "If you know what's good for you, you should lay down your weapons as soon as possible. I might even ask my father to spare the families behind you!"
Ye Cunsi seemed not to hear him and continued to press forward, his long sword dripping blood.
"Your Highness, how is the situation? I have rescued those ten students!" It was Cui Shao's voice.
He is leading a group of people on their way here.
Yun Xun was stunned for a moment, and Ye Qingxue and Ye Cunsi took the opportunity to join forces and attack.
...
At that moment, a fine horse charged in from outside the layers of soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and a young woman rode on its back.
The woman spurred her horse into a gallop, shouting, "Father!"
The call was clear and crisp, yet resounding!
It's Lan Yi.
Lan Yi, sword in hand, charged in on horseback and instantly reached General Lan's side: "Father, mount your horse!"
General Lan's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
He helped the historian mount his horse first, then endured a knife wound himself. Only after the historian successfully mounted his horse did he finally mount himself.
The three of them rode together on one horse and charged out through the layers of soldiers!
After rushing out of the crowd, Lan Yi had only a chance to turn back and look up at the mountain to see how Ye Cunsi was doing, but he couldn't see him at all.
"Yi'er, stop looking. Princess Jing is brave and resourceful, she'll be fine. Get us into the city first! Remember to take a detour, lest we be ambushed by the men Prince Xuan arranged in advance!" General Lan said, panting heavily.
Lan Yi quickly averted his gaze and said firmly, "Okay!"
Upon seeing this, Yun Xun was startled and almost instinctively reached out to stop Lan Yi's horse, but the distance between the mountain and the foot of the mountain was very, very far, and he could only catch a handful of breeze!
At this moment, Cui Shao, along with his men, came from the other side of the mountain.
Yun Xun: "..."
Is it truly a lost cause?!
