Good heavens! The Supreme God is being relentlessly harassed!

Xie Liuyan said calmly, "It's nothing. A group of people suddenly appeared while I was waiting for the wontons. They looked aggressive, but the wonton stall owner has already left safely."

Shen Wangchuan felt much more at ease after hearing this, but this group of people were clearly well-prepared.

He was anxious and kept turning back to check if Ayan was injured.

At the same time, he struck with such ferocity that the man in black, struck by him, would have little chance of getting back up.

Xie Yi was in the same boat, never expecting to be ambushed by assassins when he went out of the manor with the prince today.

Now, with only him and Shen Wangchuan, they are no match for four hands. If the prince is injured, the consequences will be unimaginable.

At the same time, Xie Yi blamed himself in his heart, knowing that he was usually careful, but today he was careless for a moment.

If anything happens to the prince, Xie Yiwan will be held responsible even if he dies.

Xie Yi's martial arts skills were also quite good, and he fought the man in black to a standstill.

However, they were outnumbered while the other side had a large and powerful force, and the men in black were clearly not targeting Xie Yi and Shen Wangchuan.

Almost as soon as they exchanged a couple of blows with the other side, the other side would gravitate towards Xie Liuyan.

Xie Yi was anxious. He kicked the man in black in front of him away and ran quickly to Xie Liuyan's side to ask for a decision.

Xie Liuyan was at the center of this storm, but his expression remained largely unchanged throughout, as if he was not surprised by today's assassination attempt.

"Your Highness! There are too many of them. What should we do now?"

Xie Liuyan's expression was frighteningly calm as he calmly instructed, "These people are acting under orders; leave a few alive."

"As for the enemy's superior numbers..." At this point, Xie Liuyan took out a delicate little whistle from his sleeve.

The whistle is entirely emerald green, with a blowhole, and is carved with an eagle, adding to its imposing presence.

"That's not something you should worry about."

With the sound of a whistle, countless soldiers dressed in black iron uniforms embroidered with eagles surged in from all directions.

Almost the instant they appeared, the entire street was emptied of people.

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment, then murmured, "Your Highness is wise."

He received the prince's order at noon, instructing him to transfer the Xuan Tie Army to guard the city gate closest to the street.

He had forgotten about it when the fight broke out.

The group of men in black never expected that what they thought was a sure thing would turn out to be so unexpected.

Many people were stunned.

Shen Wangchuan kicked the black-clad man who hadn't reacted yet, and the original situation was instantly reversed by the arrival of Xuan Tiejun.

So, did Ayan already anticipate that someone would come to assassinate her?

Is she willing to go shopping with him just to lower his guard so she can take him all at once?

Shen Wangchuan felt frustrated. He used to be a bit slow-witted, but after meeting Ayan, he had been trying his best to keep up with her.

However, Ah Yan never seemed to consider him at all, just as what he thought was protection was no different from childish banter in Ah Yan's eyes.

Amidst his frustration, Shen Wangchuan also felt a faint, almost imperceptible sadness.

His affection was as bright as the morning sun, never reserved. Even a small response from Xie Liuyan was enough to make him happy for many days.

But now, he couldn't help but wonder if Xie Liuyan really liked him.

Such thoughts were like a poison he couldn't quit once he took a sip; they were like a raging fire piercing his heart.

The Xuan Tie Army is Xie Liuyan's most elite force, but in terms of pure martial arts prowess, it may not be as good as top-tier martial arts masters.

However, the coordination among the Xuan Tie Army members was unmatched. Many ants can kill an elephant, let alone dozens of men in black.

Before long, there were no more men in black standing on the field. The Xuan Tie Army stood in neat rows, all kneeling on one knee, their shouts deafening:

"Greetings, Your Highness!!"

Such a scene would be breathtaking anywhere.

The people on the street had all fled when the men in black appeared, and the streets were now somewhat deserted.

The hundreds of Xuan Tie soldiers moved in perfect unison, their eyes filled with respect and loyalty as they looked at Xie Liuyan.

Shen Wangchuan had always known that Xie Liuyan wielded immense power, but after so long in the Prince's mansion, Xie Yi was the only one he was truly familiar with.

I have never seen an army that completely obeys Xie Liuyan's orders.

At this moment, Xie Liuyan did not seem as approachable as usual in his eyes; instead, he felt quite distant from her.

Shen Wangchuan slowly walked to Xie Liuyan's side, his mind already wandering far away.

Xie Liuyan twirled the thumb ring, maintaining an air of strategic planning throughout.

"Get up. Now that the crisis has been resolved, you can return to your posts in the outskirts of Beijing. I will have Commander Xie relay any orders I have."

"Yes, Your Highness!!"

Xuan Tiejun left, but the shock in Shen Wangchuan's heart continued.

Ah Yan is truly remarkable. Whether it's matters in the court or matters in private life, he has never seen Ah Yan's expression change.

He leaned down slightly and whispered in Xie Liuyan's ear:

"Did Ayan know all along that an assassin would come to kill him, so she made preparations in advance?"

Xie Liuyan paused for a moment, then nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, these people were sent by Zuo Zhilin. After all, I embarrassed the Empress Dowager at the palace banquet, and he has been secretly training assassins for today."

So that's how it is. Shen Wangchuan felt that the warm jade he had placed on his chest, which he was preparing to give to Ayan, was now burning hot, making his heart ache.

"So why didn't Ayan tell me? Ayan has always kept these things from me."

"It's ridiculous that I thought I would become strong enough to protect you properly."

But Ah Yan never seemed to take his words to heart.

Xie Liuyan noticed the other person's bad expression and guessed what was wrong.

At this moment, 0526, which had not appeared for a long time, also reappeared:

"My Lord God, Shen Wangchuan is heartbroken. Please explain!"

Xie Liuyan always believed himself to be a god, a supreme being in any small world.

With the even more cheating system 0526, the power struggles in the small world are nothing more than a game to him.

Therefore, he is used to handling everything himself.

Looking at Shen Wangchuan's expression, he belatedly realized that Shen Wangchuan was different from him; everything he knew, the other party did not know.

Shen Wangchuan would worry about him and be concerned about him no matter what happened.

He knew he should apologize to the other party this time. Seeing the smile that Shen Wangchuan had been wearing disappear, Xie Liuyan felt a rare sense of unease.

"I...I knew about Zuo Zhilin a long time ago, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, one of the men in black who had fallen nearby earlier suddenly regained his strength and lunged at him with a sword.

Since we can't complete the task assigned by the Prime Minister, we'll take as many people as we can with us.

This can be considered as repaying the Prime Minister's kindness in recognizing and recognizing his talent.

The person was very close to Shen Wangchuan and Xie Liuyan, while Xie Yi stood far away.

He only had time to shout, "Your Highness, be careful!!"

No matter how unhappy Shen Wangchuan was, he was still extremely careful when it came to Xie Liuyan's personal safety.

Unable to push Xie Liuyan away in time, he could only shield him with his own body.

If that sword had landed, he would have been seriously injured, but he couldn't care less about that at the moment.

Xie Liuyan's heart pounded. The assassin was coming straight at him, and he saw Shen Wangchuan's face.

In a flash, he pulled Shen Wangchuan aside and simultaneously pressed a mechanism on the armrest of the wheelchair, sending out a cold arrow.

With a "whoosh," it was the sound of a sword slicing through cloth.

"Your Majesty!!"
