We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Two black shadows, as fast as ghosts, came straight towards Li Lin.

Li Lin's eyes were sharp, and the sword at his waist flashed out of its sheath. With a flash of cold light, one of them flew away.

However, before the crisis was resolved, another assassin was already close at hand, with a short blade pointed at Li Lin's back.

Although it was cool in Yan, the heavy armor weighed dozens of kilograms and was really uncomfortable to wear.

So after entering the city, Li Lin took off his armor.

Now the dagger was coming at him, and his back was completely unprotected. If the knife stabbed him, he would surely die.

The street where they were located was too narrow, and the soldiers behind them had no time to provide support.

Feeling the cold light coming from behind, Li Lin felt despair in his heart.

My dream of conquering the northern grasslands has not yet been realized. Am I going to die here?

Clang——

In a flash of lightning, a cold light flashed, the assassin groaned, and a broken arm flew to the ground.

Li Lin turned around in shock, only to see Li Che holding a long sword with blood dripping from the blade.

The assassin groaned, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he took out a dagger with his left hand and stabbed forward again.

Li Che's expression was calm, and the long sword in his hand turned into a sword flower and fell behind him.

Without even looking back, he stabbed fiercely behind him, instantly piercing the assassin's chest.

"Sixth...Sixth brother, you!" Li Lin looked at Li Che in amazement.

The person in front of him was decisive and ruthless, completely different from the cowardly figure in his memory.

"Fourth brother, don't be dazed, there are still assassins!"

After Li Che finished speaking, he pulled out the long sword from the assassin's chest and scanned the surrounding streets with his eyes like a hawk.

Assassins holding sharp blades kept emerging from behind the vendors on both sides of the street.

Li Lin came to his senses and quickly shouted, "Sixth brother, get off your horse. You're too conspicuous."

After saying that, Li Lin dismounted and hid behind the horse.

His movements were skillful and natural, obviously he had experienced many assassinations.

Li Che quickly followed suit, but as soon as he landed, he was hit by a cold light.

At the critical moment, there was a dull thud, and Hu Qiang beside him had knocked the assassin away.

The assassin fell heavily to the ground, and his equipment such as shoes and daggers exploded all over the floor.

"Your Highness, hide behind me."

Hu Qiang said something incoherently and slapped the other assassin on the crown of his head.

The assassin's skull shattered instantly, his head was bloody and he died.

With Hu Qiang by his side, Li Che suddenly felt extremely safe.

Looking around, dozens of assassins suddenly appeared on the street, most of them heading straight for Li Lin.

"Aqiang, I'm fine. Go help Prince Yan! He's the assassin's target!"

Hu Qiang ignored this and continued to protect Li Che behind him, not moving at all.

What are the eight princes of Yan? Ten princes of Yan are not as important as my prince.

Seeing Hu Qiang motionless, Li Che felt a little amused, but he couldn't bear to scold him.

There were two horses between him and Li Lin, and he was out of reach.

Fortunately, the King of Yan was very skilled in fighting and he was not at all at a disadvantage when fighting against many enemies alone.

Wang Sanchun had also arrived with the Ninggu soldiers. The Ninggu soldiers were wearing light armor and were very agile. They soon engaged in a battle with the assassins.

Wang Sanchun, holding a large knife, killed several assassins in a row, and finally came to Li Che, panting and bowing:

"Is your Highness all right?"

Li Che shook his hand: "I am fine, you should quickly take people to protect the King of Yan!"

Wang Sanchun took the order and turned to kill Li Lin.

With Wang Sanchun's help, Li Lin finally escaped from the battle safely.

He covered his left arm and retreated to Li Che's side. Blood was oozing from the cracks in his right hand. It was obvious that he had just been accidentally injured.

Li Che hurried forward to support him and asked with concern: "Fourth brother, are you okay?"

Li Lin smiled bitterly: "It's just some flesh wounds, no big deal."

"If it weren't for Sixth Brother today, I'm afraid my life would be in danger."

Li Che shook his head: "You and I are brothers, how can I stand by and watch you die? I just don't know who assassinated you?"

A cold light flashed in Li Lin's eyes: "Who else could it be? It must be those aristocratic families in Yandi!"

Li Che looked puzzled. Were the noble families in the north so vicious? How dare they assassinate a prince in the street?

Li Lin's face turned pale. He knew this was not the time to say such things, so he quickly said, "Fourth brother, please let go. Let me treat your wound."

Li Lin let go of his hand and asked doubtfully, "Sixth brother also knows medicine?"

Li Che looked at Li Lin's wound carefully and nodded: "I understand a little bit."

I have an ex-girlfriend who studied clinical medicine. When we were together, I often accompanied her to classes, and I also learned some first aid and basic medical knowledge.

It’s definitely not possible to treat patients, but it’s possible to deal with external injuries.

Li Che took a look at the wound and knew that it was just an ordinary knife wound with external bleeding. As long as the bleeding was stopped in time, there would be no danger to life.

He quickly pressed the proximal end of the bleeding blood vessel to block the blood source, then tore off a strip of cloth from his body and tied the injured limb tightly.

"Don't worry, Fourth Brother. The injury is not serious. As long as he doesn't get infected, his life will be fine." Li Che said comfortingly.

Li Lin was touched when he saw Li Che bandaging his wound regardless of his own blood.

Thinking about how Li Che had just saved him, he felt even more moved.

Being born in an imperial family, it is rare to have such a brotherly relationship.

How come I didn’t know before that Lao Liu was such a loyal and righteous person?

The shouts and cries of killing around gradually died down, and the assassins had almost been wiped out by the Ninggu army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining assassins turned around and ran towards the surrounding alleys.

Wang Sanchun was about to chase after him with his sword in hand, but Li Che quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't chase after a desperate enemy!"

I'm unfamiliar with the place and if I chase after them rashly, the Yan army will mistake me for an assassin and kill me.

The Yan army's cavalry lieutenant arrived at this moment with his cavalry. He dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said with shame, "I am late in rescuing you. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The Ninggu Army was the one who put in the effort in the battle just now. The road was narrow and this group of heavy cavalry was too bulky to even squeeze in. They could only watch anxiously from behind.

Li Lin shook his head: "What does it have to do with you? I was too careless."

The deputy general still blamed himself and refused to get up.

Li Lin kicked him and said, "Get up! Stop fussing. I've already said it has nothing to do with you!"

The deputy general then stood up.

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's go back home first and make plans later." Li Lin said.

Under the protection of the Yan army and Ninggu County, the two arrived safely at the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

The Prince of Yan's Mansion was not luxurious, and was even inferior to the residences of some high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial capital.

The outer wall is tall and there are towers around it. It is more like a fortress than a palace.

It is estimated that Li Lin has been assassinated many times in recent years, otherwise he would not have built his home into this state.

As soon as he entered the mansion, a doctor came forward quickly to check Li Lin's injuries.

"Huh? This wound is bandaged well." The doctor said in surprise.

The doctor looked surprised. Li Lin glanced at Li Che and saw that he looked normal. He smiled and asked, "How is your injury?"

"Your Highness is a lucky man. After taking the medicine, you will be fine after a few days of rest." The doctor replied.

Only then did Li Lin feel relieved.

After the bandage was completed, Li Lin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Che:

"I'm sorry for making Sixth Brother laugh at this incident."

Li Che shook his head, puzzled, "Fourth brother, what grudges do you have against the aristocratic family? How dare they assassinate you in public?"
