Although Su Lun insisted that his injuries were not serious, he knew deep down that these were just words of self-consolation. After several fierce battles, he gradually realized his most fatal weakness - that is physical strength! Although his physical fitness has been improved to a certain extent through more than a month of hard training, he can still barely cope with the high-intensity, short-term fierce battles; if the war drags on for a long time, he may be in danger. Not to mention that he is injured at the moment. If he is chased by the killer again, he really can't ensure that he can get away safely.

"Mr. Xie, please forgive me for being frank. If we are unfortunately pursued again, I hope you can leave first and I will hold them here." Su Lun turned and said to Xie Tianlin in the car.

Hearing this, Xie Tianlin immediately stepped out of the carriage and responded, "Master Su, you must not say that. How can I abandon you and escape alone? Seeing that you look pale, why don't you let me drive the carriage and you can rest for a while."

As soon as the words fell, even before Su Lun could make any response, Xie Tianlin snatched the reins from Su Lun's hand and drove forward himself. Su Lun could only sit next to him helplessly, and said to Xie Tianlin with gratitude: "Thank you for your help, it is my incompetence that made you suffer with me."

"Don't say that. If it weren't for me, how would you have been involved in this dispute? If it weren't for saving me, you wouldn't have been injured! You should have a good rest now and conserve your strength. We are only forty miles away from Jinzhou. We just need to hold on for a while. And don't forget, your brother is anxiously waiting for your safe return at home." Xie Tianlin answered seriously and solemnly.

Hearing this, Su Lun nodded gently to show his agreement, then closed his eyes and began to conserve his energy. Not long after, he applied some golden wound medicine to his wounds again and drank water in small sips. He knew very well that he had to recover his strength as soon as possible and must not become a burden to His Highness!

However, just as they were getting closer and closer to Jinzhou City and hope was about to come, the unexpected situation suddenly occurred - they were once again surrounded by the enemy!

Su Lun looked around with a sharp gaze, and was shocked: "Well! There is no difference from this morning. There must be at least thirty or forty assassins in black! What's worse is that it looks like there are many archers among them." Xie Tianlin next to him also noticed this situation. The two of them jumped off the carriage without hesitation and quickly dodged to the sides of the carriage.

Xie Tianlin moved swiftly, holding a bow and arrow, and instantly fired three arrows at the same time, rushing away like lightning. Then, a series of sharp sounds were heard, as if a sharp object pierced flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, three enemies fell to the ground with screams. It is worth mentioning that one of them was an archer.

Xie Tianlin was quick-witted and drew his bow again. This time, he shot two sharp arrows at once. One of the arrows seemed to have eyes and flew straight towards the other arrow that was shot at him. The two arrows collided in mid-air, both broke and fell to the ground. The other arrow flew straight towards the archer who had just shot the arrow, like a poisonous snake out of a hole, and hit him right in the chest.

At the same time, Su Lun cleverly avoided the arrows flying in front of him, rolled on the ground, and came to Xie Tianlin's side with a nimble figure. He held the long sword in his hand and swung it with great force, cutting off the arrows that shot at the sides of the two people. In the flash of the sword, the arrows were knocked away one after another, unable to pose a threat anymore.

The tacit cooperation between the two was like a well-honed symphony, which was fully demonstrated in the tense and exciting duel. In a blink of an eye, only the last two archers were left. As long as they were dealt with, their threat would be greatly reduced. They stood back to back, facing the upcoming life-and-death challenge. However, the situation was rapidly deteriorating. Like a violent storm, several men in black suddenly attacked and surrounded the two. Su Lun's eyes flashed with determination and fierceness. He knew that at this critical moment, his physical disadvantage would be a key factor in determining the outcome. Therefore, he could only adopt a strategy of quick victory. Every move was like thunder and lightning, and he exerted all his strength without reservation. He was like a Shura warrior from hell, cold and decisive. After a few fatal moves, several men in black fell to the ground, and their blood dyed the land under their feet red.

At the same time, Xie Tianlin on the other side was also in a precarious situation. Without Su Lun to protect and assist him, he had to split his attention between two things: he had to be alert to the hidden arrows from the enemy archers and to deal with the enemies rushing towards him. This dilemma made Xie Tianlin look quite exhausted for a while.

"Master Xie, you go first, leave this to me." Su Lun shouted at the top of his lungs. He clearly felt that his physical strength was rapidly fading. Although his previous desperate and life-threatening fighting style successfully repelled a large number of black-clad assassins, it also put a huge burden on his body. The wound on his shoulder was torn open again in such a fierce fight, and the stabbing pain reminded him that he could not hold on for much longer.

"Let's go together!" Xie Tianlin responded without hesitation. His voice was firm and powerful, and despite the difficulties and dangers ahead, he showed no sign of retreating.

Su Lun's eyes were red as he continued to fight. In a moment, he harvested the lives of several black-clad assassins. But at this moment, he noticed that a black-clad man was quietly approaching Xie Tianlin and was about to attack him. In a hurry, Su Lun flew over to block the attack, and with a swing of his right hand, he killed the black-clad man, but he himself was stabbed in the shoulder again. For a moment, blood was pouring out.

"Mr. Su!" Xie Tianlin exclaimed, and immediately supported Su Lun, who was about to collapse due to excessive blood loss. Deep worry and a hint of unknown emotion flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, there was the sound of horse hooves and a scream, "Your Highness, be careful!" It was the archer who attacked Xie Tianlin when he turned around. Su Lun used up his last bit of strength to turn the two people around, and "Shua", the arrow hit Su Lun's back. Su Lun instantly felt a piercing pain, and then the world spun around.

Almost at the same time when Su Lun was shot, an arrow quickly flew towards the person who had just attacked. With a "whoosh" sound, the archer fell down and there was no movement anymore.

"Protect His Royal Highness!" With a cry, a group of people rushed into the battlefield with flying horses' hooves. They were extremely brave and quickly took the initiative. They acted cleanly and quickly captured the men in black.

Xie Tianlin took a closer look and instantly put down his worries. The leader turned out to be Xiao Anning, the second daughter of the General's Mansion. Reinforcements have arrived!
