From the moment the young man in the green robe appeared, Ji Fengyao looked at him with a puzzled expression: Why does this guy look so familiar?
Moreover, although this guy's voice was deliberately disguised, it was still familiar, especially when he couldn't help but shout.
Just as Shang Xiye's blazing sword was about to strike the young man in green, Ji Fengyao instinctively grabbed Shang Xiye's hand and pushed him aside, saying, "Your Highness, no!"
"What!" Shang Xiye was even more furious when he saw that the little bandit girl was indeed helping the young man in the blue robe.
"Last time the assassins attacked, I almost went mad from my cultivation, and it was he who helped me. By all accounts, he is my savior. I cannot let Your Highness kill him, at least not in front of me." As she spoke, Ji Fengyao winked at the young man in the blue robe, signaling him to leave quickly.
Seeing that Shang Xiye looked like he was about to fight him to the death, the young man in the blue robe dared not stay and immediately turned away.
At this moment, Consort Jia, along with Qing Sang and her servant Ting Lan, arrived at the nearby woods. The three of them hid behind a tree and peered at the battlefield ahead.
Ghost Face stood out conspicuously among the group of people who were fighting with weapons and had no mounts. Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao, who were sitting on Ghost Face, were even more conspicuous.
Seeing that Ji Fengyao was still riding with Shang Xiye, and that the masked assassins in black were only busy fighting with the Ninth Prince's men and not attacking Ji Fengyao in the Ninth Prince's arms, Consort Jia gritted her teeth in anger and said: "These useless things! I hired them to kill people, not to fight and train troops! Quickly rush up and kill that bandit!"
In her anger, she felt a surge of blood rushing to her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe, and she finally managed to utter a muttered sound stuck in her throat.
A nearby silver-armored soldier, hearing someone behind the tree, immediately shouted a warning: "Everyone be careful, there are still people lying in ambush here!"
Consort Jia: "!"
Before the three of them could react, several silver-armored soldiers surrounded them and forced them out from behind the tree.
The Silver Armor Army consisted of seasoned veterans, and the concubine Jia and her servants, raised in a greenhouse, were no match for them, despite their martial arts skills.
Seeing that she was outnumbered, Consort Jia hurriedly tore off the black veil covering her face and shouted loudly in Shang Xiye's direction, "Your Highness, tell them to stop! It's me!"
Shang Xiye frowned upon hearing Jiafei's voice, but did not immediately order the Ghost Mask to turn around, pretending not to hear it.
It's no coincidence that she and the people from Donglongmen appeared here at the same time!
Remembering what Black Owl had said about someone wanting to buy the Ninth Prince's life from the East Dragon Gate, a cold glint flashed in Shang Xiye's eyes before he slowly turned Ghost Face around.
Over there, Consort Jia and her two servants had already been pinned to the ground and beaten by several silver-armored soldiers.
A mocking smile appeared on Shang Xiye's lips. His voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and he shouted towards Consort Jia as if it were a sincere cry: "Stop! Don't hurt my beloved consort!"
When he shouted those words, Ji Fengyao clearly felt him shiver several times in a row.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
The Traceless and the Silver-Armored Army: "..."
Hearing Shang Xiye's shout, the young man in the blue robe immediately perked up. Pointing his long sword at the three women, Jiafei and her servants, who were half-lying on the ground in a disheveled state, he also shouted, "Brothers, the mission objective is over there. Let's finish the job, go home, and divide the money! Charge!"
Damn!
Consort Jia and her two servants were immediately shocked: What is going on?!
