Xiao Huan was quite dissatisfied with Jun Li's behavior.

He didn't like others making decisions in front of him without authorization, especially when this person was just a hostage from a defeated country.

Don't think that you can be on equal footing with him just because you have the title of a king of a different surname in Beiling.

After all, he is just a clown with no real reputation.

Xiao Yan just gave this title for fun, but this guy really takes himself seriously.

"Jun Li is not questioning Your Highness, but is just taking precautions to avoid unnecessary risks."

Jun Li, who had fought with Jiang Xue many times, knew how fast Jiang Xue's reaction was.

This woman has a strong ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Even if there is only a small opportunity, she can seize it and make the most of it.

If she was given the opportunity to ask for help, how could she not take advantage of it?

You don't have to ask for help from the top of the cliff. Don't forget that Xiao Yun in the southeast and Xiao Jin in the east may also see the signal for help.

If they can come from the south, which is the farthest place from here, then Xiao Yun and Xiao Jin may also come from their own territory.

And it may take less than half the time they do.

The purpose of dividing the land was to avoid unnecessary conflicts. If they were discovered that they were not going hunting but were coming to kill Xiao Zhan, that would be a violation of the hunting rules. At the very least, they would be sent to the Inner Court, and at the worst, they would be sentenced to death by hanging.

"Jun Li, I didn't expect you to be so timid." Xiao Huan's pupils were full of sarcasm. He pushed Jun Li away and waved his hand to ask someone to let go of one of the guards.

He grabbed the guard by the collar and pulled him in front of him. During the whole process, his eyes were fixed on Jun Li.

"In the whole of Beiling, there is nothing that I cannot accomplish. Are you afraid of causing risks? Oh, I will show you what risks a small servant's request for help can bring."

After saying that, he personally pulled the guard to the entrance of the cave and pushed half of his body out of the cave, so that he could only rely on Xiao Huan's arm that was holding his collar to support him.

"Now, I will give you a chance to call for help. Shout."

The guard felt his scalp tingling under the stare of Xiao Huan's venomous vertical pupils, and secretly glanced at Jiang Xue in the cave.

She just nodded slightly, the guard took a deep breath, quickly took out a flare from his arms, and fired it into the sky at lightning speed, which blossomed into a bright red petal.

The petals bloomed in the air for a short while and then slowly dissipated. After waiting for a long time, there was still silence outside, with no movement at all.

Xiao Huan smiled triumphantly, loosened his grip and threw the guard to the ground.

"Risk?" He slowly walked back to Jun Li, the mockery in his eyes becoming more intense: "Where is the risk? Jun Li, do you see it?"

The vertical pupil approached Jun Li, and the vicious eyes seemed to devour him.

Jun Li remained silent, just stood there quietly, silently enduring the sarcasm in Xiao Huan's eyes.

"You are such a coward, no wonder you can't even keep a woman."

Turning his gaze to Jiang Xue, Xiao Huan's sinister voice drilled into Jun Li's ears like a water snake.

These words deeply hurt Jun Li's self-esteem.

He can't even keep a woman.

The echo of that last sentence echoed in his mind.

"Okay, we've wasted so much time, it's time to get back to business."

Xiao Huan refocused his attention on Jiang Xue: "Fourth sister-in-law, with your intelligence, you should know why I came here. I admire you very much and I don't want to let you get hurt. So please understand my feelings and leave Fourth Brother to me obediently, how about that?"

"Yun Che is my husband, and he is seriously injured now. As his wife, I will not trust him to an outsider with ill intentions. Your Highness Prince Huan, please understand my feelings and don't make such unrealistic requests, okay?"

Jiang Xue retorted, clearly refusing in public.

Holding the needle, with only the last stitch left, she couldn't make any mistakes.

He concentrated on finding the last acupuncture point and was about to insert the needle when suddenly, a cold light flashed and aimed at Xiao Zhan's heart.

"Princess Princess."

"Little Snow."

Ding, da.

Blood dripped down the clothes, making a slight dripping sound.

Jiang Xue faced Xiao Zhan, and the needle in her hand fell accurately on the last acupuncture point.

The strength and position were just right. With one injection, the poison in Xiao Zhan's body was completely forced out, and his originally pale face gradually regained its color.

Jiang Xue, on the other hand, blocked the arrow that was originally shot at Xiao Zhan with her own body.

A cold arrow pierced her body just below her left shoulder, and the arrowhead protruded from the front.

The severe pain caused her body to sway violently, and she staggered two steps before she could barely stand still.

When Jun Li saw her being shot by an arrow, his heart tightened and he almost suffocated from the pain.

He strode forward and tried to support her, but was pushed away by Jiang Xue.

"Princess, how are you?" Qing Feng, who had finally forced the poison out of Tieyi, rushed over quickly and rescued the guards brought by Jiang Xue, asking them to stay by Xiao Zhan's side, while he carefully supported Jiang Xue.

"Puff." Before Jiang Xue could answer, a fishy and sweet taste rushed up her throat and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

call out.

While she was vomiting blood, another arrow flew at her.

This time, the target is Jiang Xue.

"Who told you to touch her?" Jun Li Chao Jue roared.

He intercepted the flying arrow from the side. The powerful impact scratched his palm and the arrow was covered in blood.

Xiao Huan did not expect that Jue would act on his own and kill Jiang Xue.

All he wanted was Xiao Zhan's life. This woman was the one he had set his eyes on.

Before taking action, he had specifically warned that no one was allowed to touch Jiang Xue. Unexpectedly, this usually obedient servant would be the first to disobey his orders.

The iron fist hit Jue's temple at close range, knocking him to the ground.

"Get up." Xiao Huan shook his fist and looked at him as he gave the order with cold anger.

Jue was beaten so hard that stars appeared before his eyes, but when he heard Xiao Huan's order, he immediately stood up again.

"Aim now, I'm going to kill him. If you shoot randomly again, I'll kill you first."

Xiao Huan personally lifted Jue's hand, pointed the arrow at Xiao Zhan who was lying on the ground, and threatened Jue viciously.

"try it yourself."

Qing Feng stared at Jue who was holding the bow and arrow, his eyes full of anger.

It was because of this guy's sneak attack that His Highness was injured by his arrow while picking herbs.

As His Highness' personal bodyguard, how could he allow this bastard to hurt His Highness again.

Leaving Jiang Xue in the care of the guards behind him, Qing Feng stepped forward, using his body to block the bow and arrow, and took a fighting stance.

"Tsk, you really overestimate your own abilities." Xiao Huan sneered at this: "Qingfeng, you lost to Jue last time, what do you think is your chance of winning him this time?"

"No matter how small the chance is, I will not let you touch a hair of His Highness."

After saying that, Qing Feng tapped the ground with his toes and rushed forward.

Although his speed was not as fast as Tieyi's, he was much stronger, and the attack was sudden, catching Jue off guard.
