With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

"General, I'm afraid you've misunderstood."

Ye Xiao was about to explain when he was rudely interrupted by Jin Xuanming.

"Stop talking nonsense! I can see you're up to something! If you know what's good for you, surrender now, or don't blame me for being merciless!"

Jin Xuanming drew the sword from his waist and pointed it at Ye Xiao's nose and cursed.

Seeing this, Princess Aisha quickly explained:

"General Jin, you misunderstood! This... this..."

Aisha was speechless for a moment, as she didn't know the name of the night owl.

"This young man is the one who saved me. I was lost in the forest before, and it was this young man who saved me and escorted me back to the city."

Aisha explained eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xuanming looked at Ye Xiao suspiciously.

A pair of sharp eyes, he doesn't look like a good person at all.

"Your Highness, you are of noble status, please do not be deceived by this treacherous man!"

"He must have used some despicable means to force you to go with him! Come, capture him!"

Jin Xuanming didn't believe Aisha's explanation at all. He waved his hand and the soldiers behind him immediately surrounded Ye Xiao.

Night Owl sighed helplessly.

What is this thing called?

I saved people with good intentions, but was treated as a bad person.

"General, I am a local. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to verify it."

Night Owl tried to explain again.

"You still dare to quibble! Catch him!"

Jin Xuanming didn't give Ye Xiao any chance to explain and gave an order.

The soldiers rushed forward, brandishing swords and slashing at Night Owl.

Seeing this, Night Owl knew that there was no point in explaining further.

He dodged several incoming swords with a flash of his body.

Then he drew the dagger from his waist and fought with the Javanese soldiers.

Princess Aisha was frightened by the sudden battle.

She hid behind Jin Xuanming and shouted anxiously:

"General Jin, make them stop! He really saved my people!"

Jin Xuanming turned a deaf ear to it and instead became even more convinced that Ye Xiao was a person with ulterior motives.

He snorted coldly, drew his sword, and joined the battle.

The night owl is agile and moves among the flashes of swords and sabers, floating around like a ghost.

The dagger in his hand was extremely swift, and every time he swung it, it brought up a cold light.

Force back the besieging Javanese soldiers.

The blade passed by their skin, but only left a shallow mark of blood, and no one was killed.

Night Owl is not a bloodthirsty person, and his moves are mainly defensive and stop when necessary.

However, these Javanese soldiers kept pressing forward.

Swords and knives were drawn out, every move was fatal, and there was no intention of holding back.

After Jin Xuanming joined the battle, Ye Xiao's pressure increased sharply.

Duke Wu is indeed a veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years. His swordsmanship is sharp and his offensive is like a tide.

Each strike was as powerful as thunder, aiming straight at Night Owl's vital points.

Although Ye Xiao was a special forces soldier from Shannan Prefecture, he is highly skilled in martial arts.

However, faced with such a fierce attack and the siege of so many soldiers, they gradually felt powerless and fell into a disadvantage.

Jin Xuanming slashed with his sword, and Ye Xiao barely dodged it, but the sharp wind from the sword cut his sleeve.

He thought to himself that this was not good and that he would be caught sooner or later if he continued like this.

At the critical moment, Night Owl seized an opportunity.

He ducked to avoid Jin Xuanming's sweeping blow, then swung his knife in the opposite direction, leaving a bloody mark on Jin Xuanming's left arm.

"what!"

Jin Xuanming felt pain and roared:

"How dare you hurt me, you thief!"

He covered his injured left arm, his face ferocious, and swung his knife more fiercely at Night Owl.

The night owl fought and retreated, looking for an opportunity to break out.

As more and more soldiers gathered around him, Night Owl gradually felt exhausted and his breathing became rapid.

He was anxious. This was not a solution and he had to find a way to break out.

At this moment, Princess Aisha suddenly stood in front of Ye Xiao and said to Jin Xuanming:

"General Jin, this man saved my life. If you want to kill him, kill me first!"

Jin Xuanming's blade stopped just in front of Aisha.

He glared and gnashed his teeth as he said:

"Your Highness, this villain has ulterior motives. You must not be deceived by him!"

"Please step back. Once I capture this beast, I will apologize to you!"

"No! I won't back down!"

Aisha stood firmly in front of Night Owl, not giving an inch.

Although she was afraid, her eyes were full of determination.

Ye Xiao looked at Aisha who was standing in front of him, and his heart was filled with indescribable feelings.

He wanted to get away as quickly as possible to avoid implicating the princess, but he didn't expect her to defend him so much.

"Princess, why are you doing this?"

Night Owl smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a nobody, not worth the risk."

"You saved me, so you are my benefactor."

Aisha said firmly, "I can't just watch you get killed by them."

Jin Xuanming was angry when he saw Aisha was so stubborn, but he did not dare to be rude to the princess.

He suppressed his anger and shouted to the soldiers around him:

"Stop it all!"

The soldiers stopped and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Jin Xuanming took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He walked up to Aisha, lowered his posture and said:

"Your Highness, I have no intention of offending you, my benefactor. It is my duty and I must act with caution."

"Please understand, Your Highness."

Aisha looked at Jin Xuanming, her eyes full of suspicion:

"General Jin, do you really believe that he is my savior?"

Jin Xuanming hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded:

"I trust the judgment of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"In that case, let him go."

Aisha said.

Although Jin Xuanming was unwilling, he had no choice but to do as he was told.

He waved to the soldiers, signaling them to retreat.

The soldiers dispersed, relieved.

Jin Xuanming walked up to Ye Xiao, bowed and said:

"Sir, I apologize for any offense I've caused you before. I hope you will forgive me."

Night Owl also bowed in return:

"General, your words are too kind. I did not mean to offend you."

"May I know your name, warrior?" Jin Xuanming asked.

"I am Night Owl."

"It turns out to be the Night Owl Warrior."

Jin Xuanming nodded, "I've heard a lot about you."

Night Owl smiled slightly and said nothing.

He knew that Jin Xuanming's "I've long heard of your name" was just a polite remark.

"Night Owl Warrior, since you are the lifesaver of Her Royal Highness the Princess, please come back to the city with us."

Jin Xuanming said, "Let me show some hospitality."

Night Owl wanted to refuse, but changed his mind.

Perhaps he could take this opportunity to find out the strength of Java, so he agreed.

The group walked towards the main city of Java.

On the way back to the city, Princess Aisha was like a happy little bird, chirping and circling around the night owl.

"Night Owl Warrior, did you really defeat so many pirates with just a dagger?"

"Night Owl Warrior, you are really good with the dagger. Can you teach me?"

"Night Owl Warrior..."
