I failed again

"tatter"

The rapid and powerful sound of horse hooves echoed in the air, crisp and rhythmic.

Jun Yan'an was dressed in tight clothes, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, he was sitting steadily on a horse with shiny fur, the moonlight was shining on his face, the silver light made the lines on his face more three-dimensional, the red mole between his eyebrows was extremely bright red, appearing and disappearing in the moonlight, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

Suddenly, at this moment, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from the dense woods nearby. This subtle sound instantly aroused Jun Yan'an's vigilance. Jun Yan'an tightened the reins and whispered, "Whoa!"

As the reins were suddenly pulled tight, the horse raised its front hooves high, neighed, and then stopped steadily in place.

Su Yunnan and Qian Yu, who were following behind Jun Yan'an, also tightened the reins and stopped.

Qianyu's eyes were as sharp as torches as he stared at the forest where the strange noise came from. His right hand had quietly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. His muscles were tense, ready to deal with any possible emergency at any time.

The secret guards following Jun Yan'an also appeared one after another, surrounding Jun Yan'an and protecting him in the middle.

Jun Yan'an looked at the woods with cold eyes. He had to admit that the Nangong family was really good at finding opportunities. They always bumped into him when he was in a bad mood.

But it is also a very good punching bag.

Jun Yan'an was just about to wave his hand to ask the secret guards to retreat and he would handle the problem himself when he saw a dozen dark shadows emerging from the woods. When he saw who was leading the group, Jun Yan'an was completely stunned.

Qianyu's originally vigilant expression was also stunned. Although his hand on the hilt of the sword did not move away, the strength was loosened a lot.

Even though the leader was wearing a black mask, he recognized him at a glance. Wasn't that Hidden Star, the Crown Prince's confidant?

As for the people behind Yin Xing, it goes without saying that they are all the Crown Prince's secret guards.

He turned to look at Jun Yan'an and wanted to ask: Master, what exactly happened between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send Hidden Star here? Moreover, judging from the situation, it was obvious that he had bad intentions!

Qianyu only hated that he did not go to the Prince's Mansion with the head of the family at that time. Otherwise, he would not be as confused as he is now, and he had no idea what happened between the head of the family and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When Yin Xing saw that Jun Yan'an did not make any move, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he waved his hand calmly. His men received the order and immediately attacked Su Yunnan.

Because Su Yunnan was protected by Jun family's secret guards and Jun Yan'an, they inevitably came into conflict with Jun family's secret guards.

But their target was not the head of the Jun family. Besides, the head of the Jun family was still their Crown Princess. Therefore, they did not kill the secret guards of the Jun family. They were just looking for opportunities to break through the secret guards' defense line and attack Su Yunnan.

Unfortunately, the Jun family's secret guards were well-trained and highly skilled in martial arts, and they could not find any breakthrough for the time being.

Qianyu looked at Yinxing and the others who obviously did not kill him, and looked at Jun Yanan hesitantly, "Master, should we take action?"

Jun Yan'an looked at it for a while and said, "Stop it."

He really wanted to see what Yinxing was planning to do by bringing so many people here.

After receiving Jun Yan'an's order, the secret guards stopped attacking. Yin Xing and others saw the secret guards put away their knives and did not waste any time, but raised their knives and slashed at Su Yunnan.

Su Yunan: ??? Oh my god!

Su Yunnan quickly drew out his sword to resist, but his bare hands were no match for four punches and he was knocked off his horse in a short while.

Seeing this, Jun Yan'an borrowed the sword of a secret guard, flew to Su Yunnan's side, and blocked all attacks for him.

Yin Xing was knocked back a few steps before he stood still. Looking at Jun Yan'an who was blocking his way, he immediately ordered a retreat.

His Highness said that if the head of the Jun family tried to stop them, they would stop.

Yin Xing was just about to use his Qinggong skills to leave, but Jun Yan'an suddenly approached and held his shoulders, making him unable to move.

Yin Xing was silent for a while, then turned around and saluted silently, "Master Jun."

"Next time you come here, you may not be able to go back." After Jun Yan'an said this, he let go of his hand and signaled Yinxing that he could leave.

"Yes, thank you, Master Jun." After Yin Xing said this, he immediately used his lightness skills to run away.

Jun Yan'an looked at Yinxing's departing back and wondered if Ling Yanchen had lost his mind as he actually sent Yinxing to kill Su Yunnan for no reason.

No matter what, Su Yunnan is the son of Su Yi, the great general of Zhao State. If he really died in Ling State, Ling Yanchen would not be afraid of a war between Ling and Zhao.

Moreover, everyone knew that Su Yunnan had always been by his side. If he died, it would be difficult for him to explain to Su Yi.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with Ling Yanchen.

Su Yunan stood up with his hands on the ground, "Yan An, do you know them? Do you know who sent them?"

I'm afraid it's not just as simple as just knowing each other, otherwise, Qianyu wouldn't have asked Yan An whether he wanted to take action.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party was actually coming for him. He thought that the other party was just like the previous killer and was targeting Yan An, so he was completely unprepared.

Jun Yanan glanced at him and said, "I know him. He's a man with a broken brain."

Su Yunnan was silent. Hearing Yan An's tone, he was sure that Yan An must know the master of that group of people. Not only that, but they must have a close relationship with him.

"Then why did he send someone to kill me? I haven't offended him, right?" Su Yunnan's tone was full of confusion. He had been chasing Yan An for the whole year and had no chance to offend anyone. So who would send someone to kill him for no reason?

Jun Yan'an threw the sword back to the secret guard and walked towards his horse, thinking to himself, could it be that he was jealous and sent Yinxing to kill Su Yunnan?

Jun Yan'an was stunned for a moment, then denied his own guess. Ling Yanchen already had a concubine by his side, so how could he do such an irrational thing just for jealousy?

It was probably that Su Yunnan did something unintentionally to offend him.

"I don't know." Jun Yan'an jumped on his horse, "But you are not safe in Ling State anymore, it's better to go back to Zhao State."

"You're looking for another excuse to drive me away." Su Yunan muttered, brushing off the dust on his body and getting on his horse. "I'm not going back. Besides, with you here, how can they kill me?"

He did not forget what Yan An had just said to the leading man in black. It was clear that he wanted to protect him, so it was undoubtedly the safest for him to stay with Yan An for the time being.

Sure enough, his pursuit over the past year finally moved Yan An. Although Yan An was still cold, he had already included him in his category. His efforts were not in vain!

Come on, Su Yunan, if things keep going this way, you’ll be able to marry your beautiful lady soon! Su Yunan encouraged himself happily in his heart.

"Yes. After all, I don't have the habit of protecting a stranger." After Jun Yan'an finished speaking, he raised the whip in his hand and swung it hard. The horse under him felt pain, neighed loudly, and spread its four hooves and galloped away like an arrow.

Seeing this, Qianyu hurriedly rode his horse to follow.

Su Yunnan was hurt by Jun Yan'an's cold and ruthless words. He stood there in a daze for a long time before he hurriedly followed.

"How can he be a stranger? After all, I have been pursuing you for a year, so he is not a stranger!"

------

"Ancheng is ahead." Bai Ci said while riding on his horse, looking at the city gate not far away, "I just received news that Yan An arrived yesterday and is staying at Chenxiang Pavilion. After we enter the city, we will go directly to find him."

Two days ago, after receiving the news that Jun Yan'an was going north to find them, Bai Ci also took Qi Huaijin and Jiang Ruoyuan south to meet up with Jun Yan'an, and they chose Ancheng as the location.

Jun Yan'an was faster and arrived a day earlier than them.

After the three men rode into the city, they rode towards the direction of Chenxiang Pavilion.

At the entrance of Chenxiang Pavilion, a man dressed as a steward was guarding the door. When he saw Bai Ci and the others coming, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Bai, Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Qi. The master of the family asked me to wait for you here and take you in."

Bai Ci and the other two got off their horses. A servant came out and helped them lead the horses to the stables. The three of them followed the steward and walked in together.

As Jiang Ruoyuan walked, he said to 996 in his mind, "Jun Yan'an is quite considerate. He even sent someone to wait at the door."

"He is very considerate." 996 said, "He is really kind to his fellow disciples."

Jiang Ruoyuan nodded, agreeing very much with what it said.
