When they saw Xiao Yuhan had discovered them, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Finally, the cloth-clothed man standing in the front said respectfully:

"Mr. Xiao, we have no ill intentions. We are just following His Majesty's orders to secretly protect Mr. Xiao's safety."

"Just you? Come... to protect the safety of this young master?" Xiao Yuhan sneered when he heard this.

“……” Several people lowered their heads in silence.

"Then let me see if you have the ability?"

After Xiao Yuhan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and quickly attacked the few people.

Several people were caught off guard by the sudden attack and drew their weapons to fight back.

Because His Majesty had issued an order that no harm should be done to Xiao Yuhan, the fighting was restricted.

In less than half a minute, all of them were knocked to the ground by Xiao Yuhan.

Xiao Yuhan looked down at the people on the ground and said coldly, "With your level, you can't even beat this young master, how can you protect him in secret?"

Several people blushed unconsciously. They didn't expect Xiao Yuhan's martial arts to be so powerful.

"Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"Get out of here if you know what's best for you, or don't blame me for being rude."

"Master Xiao, there is no need to be so hostile to us. His Majesty asked us to tell you that if Master Xiao insists on leaving, it would be best for him to think about his clansmen far away on the border of Yan State before making a decision."

The man in plain clothes just now stood up from the ground, holding his chest and speaking slowly.

"How dare you threaten this young master?" Xiao Yu angrily slapped him, secretly annoyed that Nangong Yan was too shameless.

The man in plain clothes who was hit by the palm immediately vomited blood and staggered back several steps.

"Master Xiao, please don't embarrass us subordinates. We are just following orders."

"Damn it."

Xiao Yuhan felt sad in his heart. He never thought that Nangong Yan would attack his people. Was it just to threaten him?

What exactly is the intention?

At this time, Commander Li came with the pursuers. He saw that there was only Xiao Yuhan and the empty carriage behind him, and he understood everything in an instant.

"Go after them, they shouldn't have gone far."

Commander Li immediately ordered the people behind him to chase after them.

"Wait, if you want to catch up, you have to get past me first."

Xiao Yuhan's aura was fully released and he stretched out his hand to stop them. At this moment, his anger had reached its peak.

Seeing that Xiao Yuhan dared to stop them, Commander Li, who already had a problem with him, suddenly laughed:

"Mr. Xiao, what do you want to do? Don't think that I won't do anything just because you are His Majesty's guest."

"Oh... distinguished guest? Who cares?"

Xiao Yuhan smiled helplessly. He didn't want to make friends with such a despicable person.

"Mr. Xiao, you'd better get out of the way. This commander's patience is limited."

Commander Li immediately lost his patience, as he was already unhappy with Xiao Yuhan for letting the Second Prince go. However, since he was the Emperor's distinguished guest, he did not dare to act rashly.

"I won't allow you to do that. What can you do to me?"

Xiao Yuhan stood motionless in the middle of the road and looked at them.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."

Commander Li picked up his knife and attacked Xiao Yuhan without saying a word.

"It's just right. Let me experience how powerful the martial arts of the commander of the Royal Guards are."

The two men started fighting, and Xiao Yuhan, who was already angry, showed no mercy and attacked with every move being ruthless.

Soon, Commander Li was beaten so hard that he could hardly stand up.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable. No wonder His Majesty thinks highly of you."

Commander Li's dissatisfaction with Xiao Yuhan gradually turned into admiration.

"Humph, the Royal Guards' commander's martial arts are only this good, he can withstand a single blow."

Xiao Yuhan kicked Commander Li out without hesitation, then flicked his sleeves and stood firmly in the middle of the road to block them.

"Mr. Xiao, you are clearly His Majesty's distinguished guest, why did you let the Second Prince go?"

Seeing that martial arts was not working, Commander Li tried to convince Xiao Yuhan with words.

Xiao Yuhan turned his head, looked at Commander Li with sharp eyes, and snorted coldly:

"Commander Li, do you think it would be good for you to catch him? And then continue doing that meaningless thing?"

"This... is your majesty's order. I am just following your orders."

"Acting on orders? Commander Li, please stop aiding the tyrant. Such meaningless things will only hurt more innocent people. It is meaningless."

Hearing this, Commander Li suddenly thought of the half-dead guards in the secret room, and it would be strange if he didn't feel sad. Because they were all his brothers, living beings with flesh and blood, but now they have become victims of the experiment.

Commander Li looked hesitant. Was he really going to chase after him? Or...?

"Commander..."

"Commander..."

The guards behind Commander Li looked at him with heavy faces one by one, and each of them revealed a desire for life in their eyes.

Hearing the calls from behind him, Commander Li suddenly broke down and turned around with difficulty:

"Let's go, there are no suspicious traces here."

"Yes, Commander."

Seeing this, the guards were overjoyed and immediately turned around and followed Commander Li away.

Xiao Yuhan raised his eyebrows slightly, very surprised that Commander Li could be so sensible, and couldn't help but have a little more admiration for him in his eyes.

At this time Yan Jingshuo got the news and rushed here immediately.

At that time, there were only Xiao Yuhan and the men in cloth clothes.

"Where's Xi'er?"

"left already."

Xiao Yuhan looked at Yan Jingshuo who was rushing over and raised his chin slightly to signal him to go over there.

Yan Jingshuo, who was about to turn around and chase after him, suddenly stopped, looked at the men in plain clothes not far behind Xiao Yuhan, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"None of your business. This is my personal matter. Go find them." Xiao Yuhan said in a flat voice.

"Private matter?"

Yan Jingshuo suddenly thought of the news he had received before, that 30,000 light cavalry were moving towards the border of Yan State. The Miao people happened to be at the border between the Southern State and Yan State. If they wanted to attack Yan State, they had to pass through the Miao people.

And Xiao Yuhan seems to have a good relationship with Nangong Yan. Could it be that these two have joined forces?

"What? Is something wrong?"

Xiao Yuhan was puzzled when he saw Yan Jingshuo standing there and not leaving, his eyes still on him.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Yan Jingshuo asked.

Xiao Yuhan glanced at the people behind him and nodded slightly.

"What's the matter with me?"

Xiao Yuhan and Yan Jingshuo came to an open place and stopped.

"Master Xiao, what is your purpose in coming to the South Country?"

Seeing this, Yan Jingshuo did not beat around the bush and asked Xiao Yuhan directly.

"Why does the Seventh Prince ask this?"

Xiao Yuhan was puzzled. Why didn't this guy chase Chu Xi and still have the mind to ask about his affairs?

"Just answer this king."

"What did this young master come to the South Country for? It seems to have nothing to do with the Seventh Prince. Isn't the Seventh Prince meddling too much?"

"I am very curious about the relationship between Young Master Xiao and the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom?"

If it weren't for Chu Xi, Yan Jingshuo really didn't have the patience to argue with Xiao Yuhan.

After all, the poison in his body was cured thanks to the old witch who generously told him the recipe of the secret medicine.

"When did the Seventh Prince become a gossipy woman on the streets, so curious about other people's private affairs?"

"Is it a private matter? I am just reminding you. If Young Master Xiao really wants to join forces with Nangong Yan to deal with the Kingdom of Yan, then don't blame me for not letting Young Master Xiao go for the sake of our past friendship?"

After hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was even more confused. What did they mean by joining forces to deal with the State of Yan? Why didn't he understand?
