Chapter 263 He is afraid
When they broke through the encirclement, only five or six guards remained. They protected the carriage, with Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng sitting on the deck and Zhai Yun standing on the roof.
Suddenly, a thick rope appeared out of nowhere. The horse was tripped by the rope, and in the instant the carriage overturned, Zhai Yun fell from the roof. Fortunately, Zhai Yun reacted in time and managed to land steadily.
The carriage shattered into pieces the moment it overturned, and Lou Yexue and Lian'er fell out of the carriage.
Like Zhai Yun, Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng escaped unscathed. While dealing with the men in black who rushed out, Zhai Yun stepped forward to help Lou Yexue and Lian'er up and led them to hide under a tree.
This time, the other side really went all out. These men in black were all quite skilled. At her peak, Zhai Yun could barely handle them, but after several attacks, her stamina was no longer up to par.
If you force your way in, you might not survive!
One by one, the guards beside them fell. Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng desperately protected Zhai Yun. They were facing nearly a hundred assassins, and Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng were clearly exhausted.
"Young master, run! Don't worry about your subordinates!" Qi Nuo shouted desperately.
Yan Nanheng stopped an attacking assassin and shouted to Zhai Yun, "When you see my senior brother, please tell him that I'm afraid I won't be able to complete Master's mission!"
After Yan Nanheng finished speaking, he gathered his strength in his palm and struck the ground, knocking down the black-clad men closest to him with the powerful force.
When Lian'er saw this scene, she turned to run away but was pulled back by Zhai Yun.
"We're not far from the capital now. Hold on, Brother Yi will come to save us!" Zhai Yun felt strongly that Brother Yi knew her situation and that he would definitely not abandon her!
Upon hearing this, Yan Nanheng and Qi Nuo seemed to be able to hold on for a while longer.
Zhai Yun, with Lian'er in tow, dodged the men in black, trying to eliminate as many of them as possible. During the fight, Zhai Yun noticed that these men all had sword patterns on the back of their hands.
This time, however, they mobilized all of them, and their target shifted from Lian'er to all of them.
Just as Zhai Yun dealt with one of the men in black, a sword came flying at Lian'er's side, almost touching her. Without thinking, Zhai Yun turned around and stood in front of Lian'er.
The expected stinging pain did not come; the sound of the arrow slicing through the air ended with a "clang," and the sword that was inches away from Zhai Yun was deflected.
In an instant, Zhai Yun was caught by a large hand around the waist. The owner of the hand pulled Zhai Yun away from danger, without even paying attention to Lian'er, who knew the truth about his mother's death.
The moment he left, a man in black seized the opportunity and stabbed at Lian'er again. If Yan Nanheng hadn't reacted quickly and struck with a green light, Lian'er would have been dead.
As Zhai Yun gazed at the fleeting scenery, the only unchanging feature being the human face, her nose tingled with emotion. After being away for more than ten days, she missed him.
She knew he would come! And he really did!
Feng Chenyi, with Zhai Yun in his arms, charged into the group of assassins, sword in hand. The powerful sword energy stirred up dust, and in an instant, the dense group of assassins was widened by a path three feet wide.
Feng Chenyi, with Zhai Yun in his arms, teleported to the other side of the assassin group. The assassins, realizing what was happening, rushed towards him, but Feng Chenyi simply swung his sword lightly, the sword intent rising with the wind, and the first black-clad men to charge forward fell to the ground.
With the addition of Feng Chenyi and the Second Provincial Army he brought, Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng's morale soared again, and in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, they had already routed the assassins.
The remaining few surviving assassins tried to escape but were shot dead by Feng Chenyi.
With the dust settled, Qinuo and the others from the Second Provincial Province began searching the assassins. Zhai Yun hadn't seen her brother Yi for over ten days, and at this moment, she had so much to say to him.
Just as Zhai Yun was about to speak, Feng Chenyi pursed his lips and walked away, as if on purpose, not wanting to hear Zhai Yun speak.
Zhai Yun was stunned. Looking at Feng Chenyi, who was also searching the black-clad man's belongings, she felt a pang in her heart. This was the first time he had ignored her.
He used to never turn around when Zhai Yun stood next to him. This deliberate distancing of her Yi-gege left Zhai Yun at a loss for what to do.
Xiao Nian appeared in Zhai Yun's hands. After scanning around, Zhai Yun suddenly realized that Lou Yexue was nowhere to be seen. She had been so focused on dealing with the enemy that she didn't even know when he had disappeared.
Before long, the Second Provincial Police Department found a token on the man in black, with the character "布" (cloth) embossed in gold on it.
The token was handed to Feng Chenyi, who clenched it tightly with his five fingers. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his bright, deep eyes seemed to have already decided how to overthrow the Bu family.
All of Zhai Yun's bodyguards had died in the line of duty, and the carriages and horses she had brought with her were gone. Lian'er, Qi Nuoyan, and Nan Heng had all been assigned to ride with others, while only Zhai Yun remained standing in place.
Qi Nuo and Yan Nanheng weren't unwilling to arrange for Zhai Yun, but this was a matter that only the prince could handle himself. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble to arrange for Zhai Yun to ride with someone else?
Zhai Yun was used to Feng Chenyi reaching out to her immediately. She had been standing there for a long time, and Feng Chenyi had mounted his horse and stood not far from her, but he did not seem to be calling out to her.
She went through so much trouble to bring Lian'er back, getting injured herself and even taking a knife for Lian'er. She really didn't understand Feng Chenyi's attitude towards her now.
There was no gratitude or longing for her, only indifference!
Zhai Yun felt a surge of grievance, her eyes welling up with tears. In order not to be noticed by others, she could only walk towards a random horse. It's just going back, what difference does it make who she rides with!
Zhai Yun walked to the horse and mounted it, which frightened the guard on horseback so much that he turned pale. He dared not refuse and did not want Zhai Yun to get on, because he had already seen Prince Rui glancing in this direction, his suppressed anger and dark face.
Prince Rui was always one to keep his emotions hidden, so the consequences of making him this angry were unimaginable.
The guard was so frightened that he jumped off his horse. The moment Zhai Yun mounted her horse, she was the only one left on the horse. Before she could even settle down, a figure landed steadily behind her.
Before anyone could react, two hands reached around Zhai Yun's waist, gripping the riding whip, and galloped away.
Even before Zhai Yun could figure out who was behind her, she could no longer see the group. The familiar aura rushed towards her, and Zhai Yun suppressed her desire to resist, feeling even more aggrieved.
Didn't you say you didn't want to talk to me? What's this all about? Not even a word of comfort.
The more Zhai Yun thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. In the end, her eyes reddened, and she gently pushed Feng Chenyi away from behind her with her elbow, preventing him from getting too close to her.
One hand tightly embraced Zhai Yun's waist, pulling her closer despite the distance she had managed to create. Zhai Yun was still sulking and simply didn't want to ride with him, struggling to dismount.
Feng Chenyi held the bouncing figure in his arms, his eyes revealing undisguised pain. No matter how much Zhai Yun fussed, he held her tightly; he was afraid, he dared not let go.
He was terrified at the thought that the sword had almost pierced her chest from behind.
