You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Lin Xiuye ​​sat on the edge of Lin Jinhao's bed.

"Jin'er, good news! His Highness has successfully captured the eldest prince. Even if he is cured, he will be a cripple with broken arms and legs.

In addition, His Highness successfully framed the Second Prince, who was given fifty lashes by the Emperor and confined to his residence. Consort Shu was also confined."

Lin Jinhao said happily: "That's great, we have been planning for so long, and today we finally see the results.

Next, just follow the plan, that position will definitely belong to my cousin."

At this point, Lin Jinhao stared at Lin Xiuye, "Father, did my cousin get the antidote? I really want to be detoxified quickly. I can't hold on any longer."

Lin Xiuye ​​held his hand, which was so thin that only a layer of skin remained. "Your Highness pressed the issue, and the eldest prince said that he was not the one who poisoned him. In that situation, he would not lie to avoid suffering.

If it's not him, then it can only be the second prince Zhao Hongyang. He has hurt my son so badly, and we will never forgive him.

However, for the sake of the overall situation, we cannot obtain the antidote for the time being. His Highness said that he will get it for you immediately by the end of the month at the latest."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Lin Jinhao's eyes, but he quickly cheered up.

"My cousin is about to accomplish great things. It's okay to wait a few days. My son has something to look forward to."

Lin Xiuye ​​patted Lin Jinhao's hand gently, "Then you just wait obediently, don't do anything stupid, just get through it, and everything will be fine. By then, Dayan will be your cousin's world, so why should we worry about not having a good life?"

"Well, sons always listen to their fathers!"

Lin Jinhao rekindled his fighting spirit, even though this fighting spirit was vulnerable in the face of the pain that wiped out everything.

But as long as there is hope, he can hold on.

Lin Xiuye ​​knew this very well and took advantage of it to make an effort. Only when he saw that he had successfully aroused his son's desire to survive did he leave with satisfaction.

Lincheng Inn.

After the men in black withdrew, Tianshu and Zhao Qian went to report the battle situation to the eldest princess.

Tianshu spoke frankly, “Your Highness, at noon today, I received a dart tip saying that the Dragon Shadow Guards had dispatched more than 300 people to intercept.

Before you entered the city, the brothers in charge of outer security discovered that the convoy was being targeted by the Dragon Shadow Guards. Your subordinates did not disturb them and deliberately let them in.

He only sent half of his men to participate in the battle, leaving behind more than 200 Dragon Shadow Guards, and nearly 50 Black Armor Guards were killed or wounded.

The Dragon Shadow Guards are indeed quite skilled. We were able to achieve such a victory thanks to the favorable timing, location, and people. I don't think they'll dare to attack them again easily."

“Well, you did a great job!

After all, they are the Dragon Shadow Guards, and their strength should not be underestimated. They suffered heavy casualties this time, probably because they did not expect your presence. We must be on guard against their counterattack next time.

Go down and rest, let everyone have a good rest, tomorrow I will ask Zhao Qian for some silver and give everyone a good reward."

"Yes, Your Highness, rest assured. I will take care of everything."

The eldest princess waved her hand and asked them to leave.

She looked at the nanny beside her with a serious expression, "Qinghua, Zhao Jingtian sent so many Dragon Shadow Guards to intercept me. This means that the situation in the capital may be worse than we imagined.

I wonder how Chen'er is doing? If I had known this would happen, I should have taken Chen'er with me when I left.

When my royal brother passed away, he entrusted Chen'er to me. If anything happens to him, how can I face my royal brother and Dayan?

Tianxuan and Tianyou left two days earlier than us. Calculating the journey, they should arrive in another three or two days. I hope everything is still in time."

The nanny helped her lie down. "Your Highness, please be at ease. The prince is blessed with good fortune. Besides, the news says that the prince has been poisoned for nearly a year. I believe the prince is fine for the time being."

The eldest princess then closed her eyes and rested peacefully.

Seeing this, the nanny also lay down on the small couch in the room. Although she was lying down, her thoughts went back to the past.

His Highness and his wife had been married for many years and finally had a little princess as their only child, but they ended up losing the child.

Ever since the young princess was lost and her husband died on the battlefield, His Highness has never remarried. If the princess were still alive, she would be thirty-four years old this year.

His Highness searched everywhere for the little princess but to no avail, and she was found alone.

Perhaps it was because she felt guilty towards her daughter, but she started to treat the prince like her own son and even taught him martial arts personally.

Because he was dissatisfied with the Queen's attitude towards the Prince, His Highness reprimanded the Queen.

The queen was annoyed by the scolding and retorted, "He is my son after all, why are you worrying about it?"

His Highness then went to the south of the Yangtze River in anger and lived in seclusion for several years, cutting off all ties with the capital. As a result, the prince was tortured by them and almost lost his life.

If I had known this would happen earlier, and if it was really as Your Highness said, I should have taken the prince away with me.

In a forest outside the city.

Shadow One and Shadow Two led the remaining Dragon Shadow Guards out of Lincheng and found an open space in the mountains to rest.

After healing, everyone lay down quietly to rest.

Ying Yi took advantage of the scenery, looked at the depressed people, and sighed in his heart.

Ever since I joined the Dragon Shadow Guard, I have always been the one to beat others, but I have never suffered such a big loss or such a tragic defeat as tonight.

Shadow One quietly asked Shadow Two, who was leaning against him, "What should we do next? Should we go back directly, or continue following them and look for an opportunity to intercept them again?"

"Another interception? Unless you want us to be completely wiped out.

Tomorrow, send a letter back with a carrier pigeon, telling the master the truth about the situation here. Until the master gives the order, we will continue to follow from a distance."

Yingyi thought about it and felt that this was the only way at the moment. "Okay, I'll do as you say."

After a long silence, Ying Yi spoke again, "The Princess actually has such a formidable team. How come the Master didn't reveal a single detail before we came? This is a serious miscommunication."

"Could it be that even the master doesn't know of their existence?"

"That's possible. If we had known this, I believe the master wouldn't have made such a decision so easily. He might have thought, like us, that the princess only had the hundred or so people on the surface."

Both of them fell silent again.

The princess has a well-equipped and highly skilled team, one in the open and one in the dark with the guards in public. Let alone us, even if all the Dragon Shadow Guards came, we might not have a chance of winning.

Now that the losses are so severe, how can we explain this to our master? What will he do when he finds out? Will he blame us for our incompetence and, in a fit of rage, kill us?

If that's the case, what should we do? Just sit there and wait for death?

Ying Yi and Ying Er have lived and worked together for many years, and they understand each other very well. They can understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

At this moment, the two of them had the same hidden worries in their hearts.

Under the enemy's stranglehold, the remaining one hundred or so brothers are all top-notch fighters in the Dragon Shadow Guard.

If the master really orders us brothers to continue intercepting, that means he is prepared to sacrifice us at any cost to achieve his goal. Then where is our way out?

Thinking of this, Ying Yi turned to look at Ying Er, and Ying Er also happened to turn his head.

After the two exchanged glances, they glanced at the brothers around them, and an idea quietly grew in their hearts...
