The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

The group stayed in Yangcheng for half a day to rest, and then set out from the posthouse in the afternoon and headed south, riding non-stop. It was relatively peaceful until nightfall, when Xie Zhiyan, who was leading the group on a black horse, suddenly stopped with a stern look in his eyes.

Not only him, Ji Wuyuan in the carriage also noticed something unusual. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.

He carefully carried Jiang Wantang, who was sleeping in his arms, onto the couch, and then got out of the carriage.

The night wind blew, and the yellow leaves fluttered down. The grass on both sides of the road undulated like waves and rustled. The horse under him also began to stamp its hooves back and forth on the ground, as if sensing danger and uneasiness.

Not far away was a pitch-black forest, lurking quietly in the darkness like a silent giant. Occasionally, the chirping of insects could be heard from the grass, which seemed particularly abrupt in this tense atmosphere.

Xie Zhiyan rode a black horse to Ji Wuyuan's carriage. The two men looked at each other with their dark eyes and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, Xie Zhiyan raised his hand slightly. Upon seeing this, his accompanying subordinates put their hands on their weapons, observing the surroundings with stern expressions, ready for battle.

Suddenly, an arrow shot out silently from the woods, like a deadly lightning that instantly cuts through the night sky and shoots straight towards the carriage.

Before the sharp arrow got close, it was shot to the ground by the secret guards. Everyone drew their weapons, and the flashes of swords and sabers shone coldly in the night.

Immediately afterwards, countless sharp arrows shot down from all directions like a torrential rain. For a moment, the sky was filled with a torrential rain of arrows...

Following Xie Zhiyan's order, all the secret guards and followers instantly formed a tight circle with the carriage as the center, forming a solid line of defense. They waved their swords and tried their best to resist the rain of arrows that was surging like a tide.

Ji Wuyuan returned to the carriage. Jiang Wantang had already sat up on the couch, with her eyes slightly lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.

He thought she would be scared, but he didn't expect her to be so quiet that Bai Weiwei in the next carriage was already screaming with fear.

The sound of metal clashing rang out continuously in the night sky, sparks flew, and each arrow carried deadly power.

Ji Wuyuan looked at her with a little more tenderness in his eyes. He sat beside her, held her hand, and asked her, "Tang'er, are you afraid?"

Jiang Wantang shook his head and said calmly, "I'm not afraid."

Not only was she not afraid, but just hearing the fierce metal collision sounds outside made her heart itchy and her hands itchy, and she couldn't wait to go out and kill everyone.

Ji Wuyuan smiled, his voice casual and gentle, completely devoid of the coldness and indifference he had when he gave orders outside the carriage just now: "I'm going to be out for a while. Tang'er, stay in the carriage and wait for me, okay?"

"I'm outside. Call me if you're scared, Tang'er."

Jiang Wantang wanted to go out, but she also knew that she couldn't reveal the fact that she was going to the martial arts competition in front of Ji Wuyuan.

Although she put the blame on the Minister of Justice Wang Anping for Lei Shi's death last time, Ji Wuyuan might not have no suspicions.

So, Jiang Wantang nodded and said, "Okay."

Ji Wuyuan rubbed her head and before leaving, he took out a long sword for her to use for self-defense.

He just didn't want his Tang'er to see the bloody and violent scene outside.

Jiang Wantang held the long sword in his hand, listening to the sound of swords and knives outside, and felt his hands itching even more...

Bai Weiwei had already run off the carriage out of fear. Seeing Ji Wuyuan wielding a sharp sword and easily cutting down countless arrows in the crowd, she quietly hid behind him.

Ji Wuyuan saw all of her actions, but he didn't care.

The rain of arrows continued for a while, then gradually thinned out, and this was only the beginning...

The wind at night became even wilder and stronger, whistling past, and the weeds on the roadside were pressed almost to the ground by the wind, making a rustling sound.

The next moment, countless men in black emerged from all directions of the woods, some flying in the sky, some running on the ground, like a tide. Each of them was agile and clearly well-trained killers.

Their figures quickly shuttled across the withered grass, raising clouds of flying dust.

Ji Wuyuan and Xie Zhiyan, with their secret guards and followers, were at the head and tail of the carriage respectively, fighting with the men in black.

The two men's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and each move carried deadly murderous intent. They could fight ten with one, and wherever they went, the men in black fell down one after another.

However, the men in black were numerous and seemed to have no fear of life or death. When one wave fell, another wave quickly took their place, as if they could not be killed.

Yun Shang was protected by Lu Jin'an, and Bai Weiwei was so scared that she fell to the ground with a pale face. However, countless men in black attacked her and Ji Wuyuan, obviously with a clear target.

Jiang Wantang tried to get off the carriage secretly several times, but was caught by Xie Zhiyan and forced to go back.

Helplessly, she could only hold her sword and watch anxiously from the carriage.

More and more people in black appeared. When no one had time to care about Bai Weiwei, Jiang Wantang could no longer bear it, jumped off the carriage, and used the sword in his hand to block an arrow shot at Bai Weiwei.

Bai Weiwei turned around in shock, looking at Jiang Wantang, who was disguised as a man, who came to save her behind her, her eyes full of disbelief.

Jiang Wantang had no time to care what she was thinking.

When she saw those men in black rushing towards Ji Wuyuan and Bai Weiwei in the carriage just now, she understood Ji Wuyuan's intention.

Looking at the familiar pink dress style on Bai Weiwei, it was clearly the style she wore when she was in the capital.

No wonder Ji Wuyuan rarely let her show up these days. It turns out that this was his plan.

Replace her with Bai Weiwei?

Although Jiang Wantang did not sympathize with Bai Weiwei, as a woman herself, she could not help but sigh.

Considering that she was shielding him from disaster, Jiang Wantang wanted to protect her. However, before he could swing his sword twice, he was knocked to the ground by a powerful stone that hit him from the side.

Fortunately, Jiang Wantang let go quickly, otherwise his hand would have been numb from the shock.

She glared angrily at the culprit, Xie Zhiyan, who was not far away.

Jiang Wantang was not doubting it, she really felt that this bastard Xie Zhiyan was here specifically to stare at her.

Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences?

Xie Zhiyan's expression was equally grim. He looked at her coldly and said in a deep voice, "Go back. You are not needed here."
