After guarding the border for his father for three years, the daughter-in-law returns home and becom

Chu Yang and his group left the palace and rushed straight out of the city.

"Your Highness, where are we going now?"

Suo Si followed behind Chu Yang and asked in confusion.

"Where?"

Chu Yang raised a mysterious smile, "Of course, we should go to a beautiful place with clear water, singing birds and fragrant flowers!"

"Beautiful mountains and clear waters, with singing birds and fragrant flowers?"

Suo Si scratched his head, becoming even more confused, "Where are we going and what are we going to do?"

"Of course!"

Chu Yang smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you get there!"

Suo Si wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Chu Yang's eyes.

"drive!"

Chu Yang squeezed the horse's belly, and the warhorse under his crotch rushed out like an arrow.

Seeing this, Suo Si and others hurriedly rode their horses to catch up.

The group rode non-stop and finally arrived at a valley at sunset.

This valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has only one narrow entrance. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an excellent place to station troops and set up camp!

"Your Highness, this place?"

Suo Si looked at the valley in front of him, his eyes full of shock.

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Chu Yang dismounted and said with a smile, "This will be our base from now on!"

"Your Highness is wise!"

Upon hearing this, Suo Si and the others suddenly understood and exclaimed in praise in unison.

Chu Yang patted Suo Si's shoulder and said earnestly, "Suo Si, I'll leave this valley to you. If there's any disturbance in the capital, especially in Chu Yun's place, send someone to inform me immediately."

Suo Si clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely guard this place well, but..."

He looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, if, I mean if, the Fifth Prince refuses to keep his promise, what should I do?"

"What are you afraid of? Don't I know Fifth Brother well?"

"He is just too soft-hearted and easily fooled."

"But don't worry, he will definitely do what he promised me, even if it's for his own sake."

He paused, and then said, "Besides, even if he really regrets it, you don't have to fight him head-on. Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best strategy. Take your brothers and run away if you can. Saving your life is the most important thing! Our tens of thousands of troops in Qiongzhou will be your backup."

Suo Si felt relieved when he saw Chu Yang speaking so easily, but he still couldn't help but remind him.

"Your Highness, there are so many experts in the capital. Isn't it too risky for you to leave with only Miss Yang? Otherwise, I will bring more brothers to escort you?"

"With more people, we will be more conspicuous, and it will be easier to be exposed. I am going to do this secretly, so the lower the profile, the better. Don't worry, those good-for-nothings can't stop me!"

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to Suo Si, turned around and walked towards Yang Yuhuan, speaking softly.

"Yuhuan, it's time for us to go."

Yang Yuhuan nodded obediently, gently took Chu Yang's arm, and the two walked towards the mountain side by side.

Suo Si watched the two people go away, feeling mixed emotions.

He knew that Chu Yang's future was uncertain, but he believed that with Chu Yang's wisdom and ability, he would be able to overcome the danger and achieve hegemony!

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will never let you down!"

Suo Si looked up at the night sky and swore secretly.

Chu Yang and Yang Yuhuan went all the way south to avoid being seen.

They deliberately chose to walk on remote paths, sleeping in the open air along the way, which was quite an experience.

"Your Highness, please slow down and be careful with your steps."

Yang Yuhuan supported Chu Yang and walked carefully on the rugged mountain road.

"It's okay. This little path won't bother me."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "Back then, I was a man who had conquered the northern barbarians. What's there to be afraid of on a small road like this?"

"Your Highness is so awesome!"

"Of course!"

Chu Yang raised his head proudly. Suddenly, his expression changed. He pulled Yang Yuhuan behind him and shouted, "Who is it?!"

The voice just fell.

In the dense forest ahead, dozens of masked men in black clothes and holding sharp blades surrounded us from all directions!

"Who are we? I'll tell you when you die!"

The leading man in black had a voice as loud as a bell, but his tone was filled with undisguised mockery.

As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black pounced on him like tigers descending from the mountains.

The flashes of swords and sabers flickered in the dim woods, and a chilling murderous aura instantly enveloped Chu Yang and Yang Yuhuan.

Chu Yang quickly protected Yang Yuhuan behind him and snorted coldly.

"How dare you, a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp, speak so arrogantly?"

He drew the long sword from his waist. The sword blade shone with cold light like frost and snow. It was obvious at a glance that it was a sword that could cut through iron like mud.

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Yang Yuhuan hid behind Chu Yang, her eyes full of worry.

Chu Yang gave her a reassuring look, then swung his sword and rushed towards the man in black who was rushing in front.

Although these men in black were masked, they were obviously well-trained martial arts masters judging by their ruthless attacks and sophisticated moves.

however.

The one they are facing is Chu Yang, who destroyed the Huns in the north and defeated the Japanese countries in the south!

Chu Yang was seen moving among the men in black like a ghost, and his sword waving brought up gusts of cold wind.

When the sword flashes, a man in black will scream and fall to the ground.

He attacked without mercy, and every move was deadly. In a flash, several men in black fell in a pool of blood.

"This kid is evil, let's attack together and kill him!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining men in black roared and attacked Chu Yang desperately.

For a while.

The flashes of swords and sabers intertwined into a web of death, surrounding Chu Yang.

Faced with such a dangerous siege, Chu Yang remained calm and responded calmly.

He is agile and has superb swordsmanship. He can always avoid the enemy's attack and deliver a fatal blow at the critical moment.

However, there were too many men in black, and each of them was fearless and ruthless, and they kept rushing forward one after another.

Even though Chu Yang was a skilled martial artist, he gradually felt a bit exhausted.

"Your Highness, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing Chu Yang being besieged, Yang Yuhuan became extremely anxious. She didn't care about being afraid, pulled out the silver hairpin on her head, and rushed forward.

"Don't come over here, protect yourself!"

Chu Yang shouted sternly, and at the same time, he used his sword to force back the man in black in front of him and protected her behind him.

"Can……"

Yang Yuhuan wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Chu Yang's sharp eyes.

"Believe me!"

Chu Yang said in a deep voice, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.

Yang Yuhuan bit her lip, and finally chose to believe Chu Yang and retreated behind him.

however.

A sudden change occurred!

Chu Yang, who was fighting hard in the crowd, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and his movements slowed down.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth, staining his clothes red.

"Your Highness!"

Yang Yuhuan screamed and hurried forward to support the staggering Chu Yang.

"what happened?"

Chu Yang endured the severe pain and looked down at his chest, only to see that a dagger had pierced into his body at some point, and blood was constantly gushing out of the wound.
