Yan Lie hadn't expected Lin Shu to rush over. His mind went blank, and he only wanted to make sure this little woman didn't get hurt.

With a powerful swing of the blade, he knocked away the sharp blade in front of him.

Enduring the pain, he held her in his arms.

She asked softly, "Why did you come here when it's so dangerous?"

Lin Shu looked at Yan Lie nervously, "Are you injured? Let me see it quickly?" and was about to look at Yan Lie's back.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor wound. I've suffered more serious injuries than this before in battles, but I won't die."

Lin Shu looked at the clothes on his back, which were already soaked with large blood stains. Her heart was gripped with grief and tears fell. She didn't know what to do as she didn't know any medical skills.

"Yan Lie, stop fighting. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have thought of running away and trusted others so blindly. Don't worry about me, just go away. Wuuwuwu..."

Yan Lie hugged her tightly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are my woman. I will definitely take you away."

"But...but..." Lin Shu bit her lip and looked at him.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will definitely take you away." Yan Lie pulled the person in his arms behind him.

Shouted to the warriors on the opposite side, "Come on, keep going..."

The warriors on the opposite side looked at each other, then turned to look at Bumtai in the distance.

Bumutai's eyes were cold, and he shouted, "Keep going. But don't hurt that woman."

The surrounding warriors swarmed forward again.

Although Yan Lie was extremely brave, he was injured after all, and he had to divert his attention to protect Lin Shu behind him, and gradually he became exhausted.

At this moment, a blade came from the side. Seeing this, Lin Shu cried out in fear. Without thinking, he closed his eyes and immediately blocked Yan Lie's side.

The pain she had imagined did not come. She slowly opened her eyes and found that Yan Lie had been standing in front of her without her knowing when.

His forehead was covered with sweat, his expression was a little distorted, and he looked at her in disbelief.

He had never thought that this little woman who usually cried at the slightest provocation would be so brave and willing to block the knife for him. His heart was instantly filled with a warmth he hadn't felt in over twenty years. Even if he was hurt, he wouldn't let her get hurt. "Are you... okay?"

Lin Shu shook his head. "I'm fine. How about you? I just saw...oh my god...you're injured again."

Looking along Yan Lie's back, the previous blade had already pierced his back.

Lin Shu couldn't care less at this point. He stepped forward and pushed the warrior away, "Get away. Don't touch him."

Yan Lie staggered, knelt on one knee on the ground, and supported his body with the knife in one hand.

Lin Shu pulled off the fabric of her skirt with all her strength and pressed hard against his wound. "Yan Lie, hold on, don't die."

This was probably the most powerless Lin Shu had ever felt in his twenty years of life.

Seeing the man in front of her risking everything to save her, she was deeply shocked. It was the first time someone other than her parents had done this for her.

Is there really such a feeling in this world? Just because of one glance, can one risk everything for someone?

As a modern person, I can do nothing but watch it all happen.

Yan Lie suppressed the pain and forced a smile, "I'm fine, don't cry."

Lin Shu's tears welled up even more. "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I've hurt you."

Yan Lie shook his head. "What nonsense! I'm your man, and it's my duty to protect you."

Lin Shu bit her lip and looked at the man she had known for less than three days. It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

Lin Shu used all his strength to help Yan Lie up and looked at Bumutai angrily, "You didn't intend to let him leave today, right?"

"Haha, you're not too stupid to react now." Bumtai looked at the woman in front of him with a smile.

Just now, she had stood in front of Yan Lie without hesitation, which had deeply shocked him. He had just seen her teasing Zoro. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman, and he felt that following that old man Zoro was a bit of a waste. Seeing her run away, he took a shortcut. If she had asked for help, he would not have stood idly by. He had only never expected her to be so strong-willed that she would rather commit suicide. He had heard that women in the Central Plains were strong-willed and would be loyal to one person until the end.

On the grasslands, women lived by their own will. If a man died in battle, the woman would be taken as a trophy by the other side. As the son of the Khan of the tribe, he could have any woman he wanted. Suddenly, he felt a little envious of Yan Lie. To have such a woman by his side!

Yan Lie is a new warrior who has emerged in recent years. He is brave in battle. If such a strong opponent does not come from his own tribe, he will become an obstacle to his unification of the various tribes in the future.

He couldn't have all the good things to himself. He had to keep one, life or woman, or maybe both? That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

Watching Yan Lie fighting, he saw that he was indeed very brave. If he continued like this, he would definitely not gain any advantage. He deliberately provoked the woman, but he didn't expect that Yan Lie was really distracted, which gave his warrior an opportunity to take advantage of.

Yan Lie turned his head and looked at Lin Shu gently, "Don't be afraid." After that, he jumped up and rushed towards Bumtai with a knife.

Bumtai also fought back with a knife. For a while, there was a flash of swords and neither of them gave in.

Lin Shu was worried about Yan Lie's injury and clenched his fist tightly, silently praying to himself, "Please don't be in any trouble."

Yan Lie made a feint and took advantage of Bumutai's unpreparedness to injure his arm, sending him falling to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone gathered around with their knives in hand, pointing their knives at Yan Lie.

"Back off." Bumutai covered his arm and was helped up. "Let them leave."

Lin Shu didn't expect that this damn man would actually let them go, so he quickly stepped forward to support Yan Lie.

Yan Lie didn't say anything more and carried Lin Shu onto the horse.

He mounted his horse and galloped out of the Soha tribe.

Along the way, Lin Shu looked back at Yan Lie from time to time, wondering how his injury was. He had lost so much blood, but he could still hold on for so long. This kind of perseverance was truly extraordinary.

"Yan Lie, should we stop and rest for a while? I...I'm worried about your injury."

"It's okay, I can still hold on. I'll be fine once we get there."

"Aren't we going back to the Bahrain tribe?" Lin Shu was a little confused.

"I have arranged some trusted people to pick me up nearby. I will go and meet them first, and then go back." Yan Lie explained.

"You already have plans, so why do you want to go alone? It's so dangerous."

"If I bring people directly there, they will be charged with provoking a tribal war."

Lin Shu didn't expect that there was such a reason. It was all because of himself.

"Then at least take two people with you. If someone can help you, you might not get hurt."

"Of course I have to rescue my woman myself. If you need help even for something like this, are you still a man?"
