Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Pulling the reins, the horse neighed. Lin Xiaoyue rode her horse through the camp and soon found the weak point. Without waiting for more troops to be gathered to launch a fierce attack, she quickly broke through the defense line and left in a cloud of dust.

After leaving the camp, Lin Xiaoyue headed straight for the mountains not far away.

Along the way, she was extremely anxious, constantly thinking about the next plan in her mind.

The road in the forest was rugged and overgrown with weeds. One man and one horse had to find ways to shake off the pursuers behind them while marching forward in the dark. Therefore, the journey was very difficult.

By the time they finally shook off the pursuers from behind, the moon was already at its zenith.

It was a dark, silent forest, with the occasional calls of unknown birds, accompanied by the chilly wind, adding to the tense atmosphere.

Lin Xiaoyue walked carefully along the mountain road, keeping an eye out for any traces left by the two princes.

The moonlight filtered through the dense leaves, creating mottled shadows that added to the heavy gloom in her heart.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly heard a faint noise ahead. She was startled, and cautiously pulled the reins, patted the uneasy horse, stopped, and carefully observed from behind a large tree.

I saw that not far ahead, some soldiers were fighting fiercely, but when I looked closely, I felt a chill in my heart, because those fighting were clearly soldiers wearing the uniform of Dayuan soldiers.

Lin Xiaoyue saw this and her face darkened. She couldn't help cursing in her heart, "Damn it, you guys are just bullying in your own home. If you have the ability, why don't you go and attack the enemy country?"

Of course, even though she was cursing, her eyes were still calmly searching the two warring parties carefully.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, she didn't see the Third Prince and the Crown Prince. But it was not completely useless. She quickly locked onto a few familiar faces. Just based on those familiar faces, she knew which side she should help.

It happened in a flash. Just when one side was being beaten and many were killed or injured, the situation was extremely dangerous. "Puff, puff--"

The arrows penetrated the flesh, and several soldiers felt a sharp pain in their backs. Without even having time to turn their heads, their eyes went dark and they fell headfirst.

Lin Xiaoyue walked out of the darkness, holding a crossbow in both hands, and shot arrows one by one with a cold expression. At close range, she strangled the soldiers, blood splattered everywhere, and more than a dozen soldiers fell in a few breaths.

The party that was originally at a disadvantage saw the person coming, and a hint of surprise appeared in their heavy eyes.

"Third girl!"

"…Princess Le'an"

The enemy soldiers' faces trembled, and their eyes became bloodshot as they watched their brothers lying dead in a pool of blood. They had never expected that such a Cheng Yaojin would appear at the critical moment.

"Why is Princess Le'an here?"

"Why did the princess treat our soldiers so cruelly? Aren't you afraid that we will report the princess's atrocities and charge you with the crime of killing soldiers? Even as a princess, I'm afraid you will be severely punished."

The enemy soldier stared at the crossbow in Lin Xiaoyue's hand, trying hard to hide the fear in his eyes, and shouted loudly with a timid look, while winking at the people beside him, asking them to quickly report the situation here to the third prince.

Unfortunately, before the messenger could run three steps, a sound of breaking air was heard from behind him, and an arrow pierced straight into the back of his head, killing him instantly.

"You..." The soldier in front who was still shouting and threatening suddenly felt a surge of crisis in his heart. Every cell in his body was screaming about the danger and asking him to leave the place as soon as possible.

The remaining enemies' hair stood on end, and they felt cold all over. "You...you can't kill us. We are soldiers of Dayuan...we belong to the same country..."

"Heh," Lin Xiaoyue sneered, "Now that we know we are from the same country, what did you do to your compatriots just now?"

As Lin Xiaoyue spoke, she pressed forward step by step, without letting go of the crossbow in her hand, still locking onto the opponent's line.

The enemy soldier's eyes flashed with panic for a moment, then he quickly rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "They are deserters. We are only following the orders of the Third Prince to kill them on the spot to serve as a warning to others."

"Saya, we don't have..."

"Princess, we are not..."

Hearing this, the people who were at a disadvantage became anxious and hurriedly started to explain, fearing that Lin Xiaoyue would believe what they said.

"Nonsense." Lin Xiaoyue interrupted in a deep voice. She was too lazy to listen to a bunch of idiots confusing right and wrong. She wanted to use practical actions to tell them which side she was on.

The people who were at a disadvantage gasped, thinking that Lin Xiaoyue believed the other party. Their hearts were pounding, but they didn't expect that under the murderous aura, after a few "whoosh", the other party fell down again. Even the man who was relying on the power of others just now fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, lifeless.

Seeing that even the name of the Third Prince was useless, the other party felt a chill in his heart. It seemed that Princess Le'an was also ungrateful and was ready to follow the Crown Prince, who was now in danger of being beheaded.

Thinking of this, the remaining dozen or so soldiers raised their swords and guns and roared hysterically like wolves howling, "Kill her, don't let her leave here." As they said that, they attacked Lin Xiaoyue frantically.

Upon seeing this, several wounded soldiers on their side rushed forward to block the attack and share the pressure. At the same time, they also worriedly called out to Lin Xiaoyue to be careful.

Are you kidding? The princess is a woman. How can men like them let a woman stand in front of them to protect them? Do they still have the face and dignity to save them?

Lin Xiaoyue didn't expect that the four or five defeated soldiers who were in such a miserable state and covered in blood could still stand up to protect her. They are just... in the way, okay?

But knowing that these people meant well, she could only breathe a sigh of relief, and kicked away the people blocking her way with her left and right feet, then raised her hand and pulled the trigger of the crossbow repeatedly.

In just a few breaths, the enemy was completely wiped out, and the remaining soldiers who thought they would have to fight a life-and-death battle were now in a daze.

I am really protected by this woman!!!

Where are their men's faces???

If this gets out, you'll never be able to stand up straight again in your life. Fall!

Lin Xiaoyue didn't know what was going on in the hearts of the wounded soldiers. She wiped the blood off her face and kicked one of them who was still stunned. "Hey, aren't you seven wolves inseparable? There are only three here, and where are the other four?"

Yes, Lin Xiaoyue finally recognized the seven wolves from Wanbao Town who followed Sun Wanjin to join the army among a group of dusty soldiers, and only then did she distinguish between friend and foe.

The person who was awakened by Lin Xiaoyue's kick was the sixth of the seven wolves. At this moment, looking at Lin Xiaoyue again, he felt that the ferocious woman in front of him was like a god, worthy of admiration.

Before he could say anything, there was a sudden earth-shaking roar. The ground beneath their feet was like a giant dragon turning over. The mountains shook and the earth trembled. The cliff behind them was crackling with rocks of all sizes pouring down. People neighed, horses neighed, and dust flew everywhere, which made people feel timid.

This is... someone used... gunpowder...

who is it?

Is it the third prince?

Or the prince?
