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

"Haha, Your Highness, two fists are no match for four hands after all!"

A cold voice came from behind the man in black.

Chu Yang turned his head with difficulty and saw a short old man with a sinister face slowly walking out of the crowd.

"who are you?"

Chu Yang asked through gritted teeth.

"You are not worthy to know who I am!"

The old man smiled sinisterly, his tone full of disdain and ridicule, "Take advantage of his injury to kill him! Kill him!"

"promise."

Several men in black rushed forward again with swords in hand.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, Chu Yang felt dizzy. The sharp pain in his chest made his eyes go black and he almost fell to the ground.

Yang Yuhuan exclaimed, and hugged Chu Yang tightly with her slender arms, her beautiful eyes full of fear and worry.

"Your Highness, how are you? Don't scare me!"

Chu Yang took a deep breath and tried to steady himself.

Looking down, he saw a dagger deeply stabbed into his chest. Blood stained his clothes and Yang Yuhuan's eyes red.

"Damn it! Ahem..."

The severe pain made Chu Yang unable to help but cough, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

The old man laughed wildly with pride: "Haha, the brave Seventh Prince is only this good! Go ahead, kill him!"

The remaining men in black were like wolves that smelled blood. With bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes, they rushed forward again, brandishing swords.

Yang Yuhuan slowly picked up Chu Yang's sword and turned to look at the man in black who was charging towards her.

There was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Fight with you!"

however.

At this critical moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air pierced the night sky, and dense arrows shot from a distance like raindrops, piercing the body of the man in black with incredible precision.

"what!"

"There's an ambush!"

Screams rang out one after another, and the men in black fell in a pool of blood before they could react.

Followed by.

More than a dozen dark shadows appeared in front of everyone like ghosts.

They are agile and ruthless.

swoosh swish~

puff~

In a flash, the remaining men in black and the old man were all killed.

Yang Yuhuan opened her eyes and looked at the sudden change in front of her, and was unable to react for a moment.

Chu Yang endured the severe pain, glanced at these people, and asked in a deep voice.

"Who are you?"

One of the men holding a long sword walked up to Chu Yang, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, we are the warriors sent by the Fifth Prince to protect you."

"Fifth brother, Chu Yun?"

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something, his expression suddenly turned ugly, "Who are these people who want to kill me? Why are their martial arts so powerful!"

The assassin nodded silently, his voice low.

"They are the masters of His Majesty's palace, who were ordered to kill you. In fact, the one who assassinated you in the inn last time was also sent by His Majesty."

"What? Emperor Yongning wants to kill Your Highness!"

Yang Yuhuan screamed and covered her mouth in disbelief.

Chu Yang only felt a chill running from the soles of his feet straight up to the top of his head. He never imagined that the person who wanted to kill him was actually his biological father!

"Good fellow, this is indeed the ruthless imperial family!"

Chu Yang's voice trembled a little, and his heart was in turmoil. He didn't expect that Emperor Yongning would be so cruel.

It is really rare in history!

At this time, the assassin continued: "The fifth prince also said that the third prince Chu Qi was also assassinated in this way before."

"Since then, the Fifth Prince has been on guard against Your Majesty, and now that you have become the Crown Prince, you are still arrogant and outstanding in the palace."

“That’s why we came here this time.”

Hearing this, Chu Yang suddenly understood that all this was for that position!

He took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in his heart, turned to look at the assassin, and said in a deep voice: "Thank Fifth Brother for me. If it weren't for him this time, I'm afraid I would..."

"Your Highness, you are too kind. It is my duty to protect you."

"This is medicine to stop bleeding. You should treat the wound first to avoid leaving any hidden diseases."

"There is an inn five miles ahead. You can heal your wounds there."

Having said that, the assassin put down the hemostatic medicine and some gauze and turned away.

at the same time.

Yang Yuhuan hurriedly opened the medicine bottle and poured the hemostatic medicine onto Chu Yang's wound.

"Hiss...be gentle!"

Chu Yang gasped in pain. He didn’t expect Yang Yuhuan’s healing method to be so crude!

If you don’t know, you might think she wants to kill someone to silence them!

"Oh, sorry, sorry!"

Only then did Yang Yuhuan realize that she had lost her composure. She quickly slowed down her movements and carefully bandaged the wound with gauze.

"Your bandaging skills are as good as your swordsmanship."

Chu Yang couldn't help but teasingly said that the gauze was wrapped around him like a rice dumpling and he didn't know if it was to stop the bleeding or to strangle it.

Yang Yuhuan blushed and said in a panic, "Why don't you do it yourself, Your Highness?"

Chu Yang was suddenly speechless. In his current state, let alone bandaging, he was lucky to be able to walk to the inn alive.

"Alright, alright, let's stop making trouble and let's go to the inn. If we go too late, the inn will be closed and we will have to sleep on the streets."

"it is good."

Yang Yuhuan nodded.

Then the two of them supported each other and walked towards the inn with unsteady steps.

The night is dark and the wind is bitingly cold.

Chu Yang's heart was as cold as the night.

"Your Highness, please be careful. How about I carry you on my back?"

"No, this is just a minor injury. I won't die."

As he spoke, Chu Yang took heavy steps and continued walking towards the inn.

Looking at Chu Yang's back, Yang Yuhuan felt mixed emotions.

Although she was born in Nanling City, she had heard many stories about royal families fighting for power and fathers and sons turning against each other.

However, she didn't expect that such a thing would happen to Chu Yang.

For a while.

She suddenly felt a surge of heartache.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Yuhuan quickly came to Chu Yang and helped him wipe the sweat from his forehead.

But this simple sentence gave Chu Yang more confidence.

Yes, he is not alone now, he also has Yang Yuhuan and the soldiers in Qiongzhou!

With the support of the system, as long as I return to Qiongzhou, I will be able to make a comeback!

We will settle both old and new accounts together then!

Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Chu Yang's eyes.

"Okay, let's face it together!"

The two smiled at each other and continued walking towards the inn.

the other side.

More than a dozen assassins appeared in the bedroom of the fifth prince Chu Yun.

"Fifth Prince, we have rescued Chu Yang. The one who did it is indeed Emperor Yongning."

"Well, good job."

Chu Yun responded while playing with the military talisman in his hand.

His eyes were filled with desire for power, and he stroked the military token as if he was commanding an army of one hundred thousand!
