puff!puff!

The sound of the sharp arrow piercing into the body was particularly clear in this rainy night. Chu Heyi seemed to be able to see with his own eyes how the sharp arrow broke through the layers of flesh and blood and pierced into the human body.

Her heart trembled wildly at such a sound.

In the darkness, she touched the face of the man in front of her, felt his outline, his eyebrows, his nose, and his mouth. It was warm, but the rain in the autumn night was taking away the warmth from his body.

It’s Xie Lin, it’s Xie Lin.

Didn't he go back to Shengjing City first? Why was he still here? Chu Heyi had many questions in her mind, but she was too flustered to ask a single question.

Suddenly, her wrist was firmly grasped by Xie Lin.

Chu Heyi felt his body trembling in the rainy night. He must be cold and in pain. Chu Heyi immediately hugged him tightly. She only heard Xie Lin whisper in her ear, "I should... I should have gone to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage earlier."

Chu Heyi's heart trembled suddenly, and he called his name anxiously: "Xie Lin! It's never too late for you to propose marriage. I will agree whenever you go!"

She reached out to touch Xie Lin's back and felt two arrows inserted into his back. A strong smell of blood filled the rainy night and even the rain could not wash it away.

How deep are his wounds?

Did it hit the vital point?

The sky was too dark and the rain was too heavy. Chu Heyi had no idea what was going on. He was so nervous that his whole body was shaking.

Baihua caught up from behind, waving her sword to block the arrows that kept coming from the darkness.

Regardless of the danger, Nanny Rui rushed into the rain with another maid named Xianyue, and came to Chu Heyi in the dark. Nanny Rui immediately hugged Chu Heyi, intending to use her body to shield Chu Heyi from the rain and arrows.

Madam Rui said, "Miss, let's get on the carriage first! It's so dark here, as long as we hide well, the enemy won't know where we are!"

"Mammy, Xie Lin is injured..." Chu Heyi's crying tone was obvious when she spoke.

She still had a bit of rationality in her mind and felt that what Nanny Rui said was right. No matter what, she should take Xie Lin and hide. Although she couldn't see the enemy, the enemy couldn't see her either. If they could survive this assassination, there might be a turning point.

She ignored the arrow in her arm and bent down to pick up Xie Lin. As soon as she exerted force, she felt a tearing pain in her arm, which instantly drained away all her strength. Xie Lin actually slipped straight out of her arms. She quickly pulled him back and held him in her arms.

Almost at this moment, a faint light appeared in front of me. It turned out that four torches were lit halfway up the mountain.

Although the light was dim, it illuminated the area where Chu Heyi was, and she and Xie Lin had nowhere to hide.

The rain was still falling, dripping on the treetops, on top of his head, on Xie Lin's body and face. His entire body was soaked by the rain.

Chu Heyi wiped the water off her face and looked into the distance. She was surprised to find that the other side did not have many people, only about five or six.

However, Chu Heyi also discovered that although the other side had a small number of people, each of them was a strong archer, and the arrows they shot were powerful and very accurate. If her guards had not caught up with them and surrounded them together with Baihua, the consequences would have been disastrous.

This group of people were not killers sent by the Cheng Wang and his wife, but were sent by Shengjing City. This place is not far from Shengjing City. Who is so bold as to send killers from Shengjing City to kill her here?

"Miss, I'll stay in front, you guys quickly get back to the carriage." Baihua shouted loudly.

Chu Heyi and Nanny Rui supported Xie Lin at the same time and tried to retreat towards the carriage, but as soon as they moved slightly, arrows were shot towards them.

Escape is difficult.

Suddenly, the sound of urgent horse hooves came from the front. It was Wangshan who was coming with a dozen guards.

Seeing that the assassination was hopeless, the six archers began to flee. Wangshan let the other guards chase them while he quickly rushed to Chu Heyi.

After getting off the horse, he ignored the muddy ground and knelt beside Xie Lin, "Princess Cheng'an, my master is injured, please save him!

"The rice planting method he promoted offended the prime minister, and the bumper harvest made the prime minister bear a grudge against him. His contribution was too great, and he knew from the beginning that the prime minister would never let him and you continue to live, and would definitely arrange assassins, but he still walked in front of you without hesitation to clear the obstacles for you to return home!

"In dealing with the first wave of assassins, many of our brothers were seriously injured and unconscious, and their lives were in danger. When the second wave of assassins came, we could have protected my master and rushed out of the encirclement, but he was worried about you and insisted on turning back to protect you, and instead asked me to go get help from elsewhere...

"My master was injured because of you, please make sure to save him!" Wangshan said anxiously, his eyes full of pain. The main reason was that Xie Lin was injured too seriously, and he was worried that Chu Heyi would give up without a final rescue.

Chu Heyi felt that all the nerves in her body were screaming with pain. The panic in her heart and the pain in her arms pushed her to the critical point.

But her mind was very clear. She heard clearly what Wangshan said, understood why Xie Lin would block the arrow for her, and also knew why he took the initiative to offer to walk in front.

It turned out that they had been attacked from all sides. Xie Lin solved the enemies in the open for her, but faced the enemies in the dark alone. He wanted to clear the obstacles for her, and if he couldn't, he would rather die for her.

It hurts so much! It hurts so much, my heart hurts, my body hurts, my whole body hurts!

Chu Heyi suddenly stood up. Wangshan, Nanny Rui and others immediately caught Xie Lin who slipped from her arms and looked at her blankly.

On a rainy night, Chu Heyi looked in the direction where the assassin fled. She seemed to see a figure surrounded by a crowd and retreating in an emergency.

Madam Rui pulled her skirt and said, "Miss, please squat down quickly. Be careful of the assassin who may turn around and shoot you with a sneak attack!"

She just stood in the crowd, in the light of the torches held by the guards brought by Wangshan, and her target was too obvious.

What if someone is crazy enough to exchange his life for another's?

Chu Heyi did not squat down, but gritted her teeth and pulled out the arrow from her arm. The moment blood spurted out, she was sweating profusely.

After throwing away the arrow that carried her flesh and blood, Chu Heyi picked up the bow and arrow on her back - it was a birthday gift from Xie Lin. She had been wearing it all the time, and now it was time to test its sharpness.

She took out three arrows at the same time, put them on the jade bow, and pulled the bowstring to the extreme. Everyone heard a sharp sound, and Chu Heyi shot three arrows at the same time. The arrows broke through the air and aimed at the person surrounded by the guards.

Is it the prime minister? Is he supervising the battle himself?

While ambushing Xie Lin, he didn't leave her alive! The Prime Minister was really determined to kill her!

However, no matter what, Chu Heyi's arrow caught up with the man, and the man fell down instantly. The guards hurriedly bent down to support him, and their figures disappeared into the jungle. The night covered them, and the rain curtain blocked their view. Their figures could no longer be seen, as if they had merged into one with the silent mountains.

Wangshan and others were stunned.
