"Protect your lord!"

When the accident happened, the young man in tight clothes shouted immediately.

Then, a group of people rushed into the house, and several people ran in the direction where the arrow came from.

The old man fell to the ground, and his blood soaked the ground bit by bit.

Xie Yuchun's face looked grim. The endless pursuit, were the people behind it so afraid that he would go to the north?

After a while, the people who went out to search came back.

"Nothing found."

Although it was an expected result, Xie Yuchun's expression did not ease at all.

As time passed, the room fell into silence. Xie Yuchun pinched his brows and said, "Give the order and pack up and leave immediately."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

Not long after, the group left as quickly as possible, but not long after they went, they were stopped by the assassin.

Xie Yuchun's injuries worsened again.

"Sir, how about we ..."

The young man in tight clothes seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Xie Yuchun half closed his eyes and said, "Shang Yun, what do you think is going on in the capital now?"

Shang Yun was silent. He couldn't tell what the situation in the capital was like.

After a while, Xie Yuchun opened his eyes and said, "Send a message to the capital and ask the emperor to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"What if the Emperor..."

"He'll check."

There was a cold flash in Xie Yuchun's eyes. What the emperor hated most was someone doing something behind the scenes. He just didn't know who would be involved this time?

Shang Yun nodded: "I will pass on the message right away, but...what should we do next?"

The message can be passed on, but they are now in a dilemma because of the assassin.

No matter what happens in the capital, the first thing they have to do is to protect themselves.

Xie Yuchun pondered for a moment and looked in the direction he came from: "Go to the capital."

Shang Yun's eyebrows jumped: "Sir, if I go back now, I'm afraid..."

"Just go back."

Xie Yuchun made the decision directly, which forced Shang Yun, who wanted to persuade him, to hold back his words.

Not long after, a carrier pigeon flew out.

At the same time, Xie Yuchun and his group split into two groups and headed towards the capital.

The next day, not long after Ruan Shuyan got up, she was told that someone was coming from the palace.

"Yes, the emperor wants to see you."

As Mrs. Lai spoke, her brows furrowed, "Miss, will this matter..."

"Don't worry, the situation in the north has not yet come to a conclusion, and the emperor will not do anything."

Having said that, Ruan Shuyan still felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in her heart, thinking that the emperor's summons this time would bring bad news.

Royal study room.

Ruan Shuyan stepped in under the guidance of Su Sheng. As soon as she stood up after paying her respects, she saw Yang Ning next to her and her eyes couldn't help but fix.

At this moment, the emperor spoke: "I asked you to come here today because of your husband."

Ruan Shuyan's heart was in turmoil, but she quickly calmed down: "I don't know, what happened?"

"His whereabouts have been leaked, and he has been hunted by assassins all the way. But now no one can support him. Although you are a woman, he is your husband. Are you willing to go and bring him back to the capital?"

Ruan Shuyan was willing to go, but when the emperor said this, she became hesitant.

Is there really no one available in the court? Or does the emperor want to use this incident to lure her out of the capital? What is his purpose?

After thinking for a long time, Ruan Shuyan said respectfully: "Of course I am willing to go, but I am a woman, and I am afraid I can't defeat those assassins even if I chase them."

After these words were spoken, the emperor smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to go, I will send a team of secret guards to ensure that you two are safe."

Having said this, Ruan Shuyan couldn't refuse anymore. After agreeing, she glanced at Yang Ning inconspicuously.

"If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will take my leave."

"Go ahead. The secret guards are already waiting at the palace gate. Go there as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Ruan Shuyan turned around and strode out of the imperial study.

There was indeed a group of people waiting at the gate of the palace. When they saw Ruan Shuyan come out, they immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"Meet Madam Xie."

Ruan Shuyan looked around and was shocked by the evil aura surrounding them, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Why are you waiting for me here? I'm sure you all know. I won't waste any more words. We will leave Beijing in an hour. Is that ok?"

"no problem!"

After receiving a positive answer, Ruan Shuyan nodded slightly, returned to the Xie family as quickly as possible, and after explaining things to Lai's mother, she led her people away from the capital.

On the other side, Xie Yuchun suffered another wave of attacks.

In order to lure away the assassins, Shang Yun disguised himself as Xie Yuchun and walked west alone, while the rest of the people hid in a nearby cave.

At that time, Xie Yuchun had completely lost all his strength. He leaned against the cliff with his eyes closed, not moving at all.

The remaining guards looked on with solemn expressions on their faces.

"We can't let anything happen to you, sir. We have to find a way to get rid of the assassin that's chasing us."

"They come one after another. Even if we want to deal with them, we can't match the number of assassins. What's more, the master is injured. We..."

Everyone exchanged glances and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

"I'm not dead yet."

"Meet the adults!"

Xie Yuchun looked around, with a little worry in his expression: "If it really comes to a matter of life and death, you don't need to worry about me, just go your separate ways."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the guards around showed expressions of disapproval.

"What are you talking about, sir? You are the master, how could we abandon you?"

"Yes, sir, the situation is not yet desperate."

Xie Yuchun smiled bitterly. If it is not a desperate situation now, then when will it be a desperate situation?

In the final analysis, he underestimated the calculations of some people, so that...

His thoughts stopped, and Xie Yuchun concealed the murderous intent in his eyes. The person behind him had better hope that he would die.

Otherwise, he will settle the accounts one by one.

Time passed and soon it was evening.

One of the guards suddenly said, "Sir, I will go back to the capital to bring more people. As long as we have enough manpower, we don't have to worry about those assassins coming again."

Xie Yuchun glanced at him and said, "If Shang Yun escapes danger, he will go back."

"My Lord only trusts Shang Yun?"

Xie Yuchun lowered his eyes slightly: "Shang Yun's ability is sufficient."

He did not respond directly to the guard, but the meaning of his words was very clear.

Silence returned to the cave until the last ray of light from outside disappeared, and then there was a slight movement.

But it was only the light of the tinder that briefly dispelled the darkness, and the group of people groped for dry food to fill their stomachs.

...

"Mrs. Xie, we have to stay in the town for one night before continuing our journey. This day is not right."

Ruan Shuyan looked up and saw that something was indeed wrong. Large patches of dark clouds gathered and the light of the moon was blocked.

At some point, the wind started to blow.

It's going to rain!

I don’t know how Xie Yuchun is doing, I hope she can catch up.
