Chapter 140 The End of the Matter
Chapter 140 The End of the Matter
The entrance to the mansion.
Yan Qingwan and dozens of guards had been confronting the people outside for half an hour.
There seemed to be fewer people outside, but the number was still several times that of our side.
Yan Qingwan's archery arms began to tremble slightly.
The guards in front of her were also exhausted and their movements were a little slower.
The situation is actually similar for people outside.
But the other side has more people, so even if they fight in a rotation, they can still rest for a while, so their situation is better than that of Yan Qingwan and others.
Seeing this, the guards around Yan Qingwan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Madam, if this continues, our people won't be able to hold on for much longer. You should evacuate as soon as possible."
Yan Qingwan took two breaths, raised her head, looked at the current sky, and suddenly turned sideways, wondering: "I seem to hear the sound of horse hooves."
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately listened attentively.
After a while, his brows slightly frowned. "Yes, it feels like there are quite a lot of them, coming towards us."
Yan Qingwan was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I don't know if it's His Highness, or the person opposite."
Upon hearing this, the guards nearby turned solemn and fell silent.
At this point, Yan Qingwan had no choice but to make preparations for the next situation.
She slowly stood up, her eyes swept over the exhausted people in front of her, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, hold on for a while. If it is your Highness's reinforcements that are coming, that would be the best, but if not... then we can only look for a chance to retreat."
Her voice was low and firm, with an unquestionable majesty.
Upon hearing this, the guards nodded secretly, indicating that they understood what Yan Qingwan meant.
They knew that Yan Qingwan was right. If the people coming here had bad intentions, then they must be prepared to retreat, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of laughter from the crowd outside.
One of the men snorted coldly and shouted, "Crown Princess, you want to retreat? Don't forget your identity! Everyone, the guards on the opposite side are no longer strong enough. Let's rush up together and capture the Crown Princess, and we will get a reward of one thousand taels of gold!"
Everyone outside the door shouted in unison: "Catch the Crown Princess and get one thousand taels!"
Their voices were deafening, as if they were going to overturn the entire mansion.
Yan Qingwan's face became increasingly gloomy as he listened to the shouts outside.
These people are actually using money to incite the people at this time!
Her eyes swept over the person standing in the crowd, then she swung her arms, slowly raised the bow in her hand, and aimed at the target.
At this moment, the man was still standing there, shouting something loudly, but was completely unaware of Yan Qingwan's actions.
Yan Qingwan's hands trembled slightly, and the bow and arrow made a slight trembling sound.
Immediately afterwards, the arrow whizzed out like lightning, with a fierce momentum, heading straight for the man opposite.
However, just as the arrow was about to hit him, a man suddenly rushed out from the side and stood in front of him.
Then, a muffled groan was heard and the man fell down.
The man who was originally shouting froze when he saw this scene, and stared blankly at the fallen man, as if he couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.
Soon, his eyes fell on the arrow that was stuck in his back, then he slowly raised his head and looked towards Yan Qingwan inside the gate.
Yan Qingwan looked at him coldly for a moment, the indifference and determination in his eyes made people terrified.
Then, without hesitation, she drew the bowstring again and shot the arrow at him.
The arrow seemed to carry endless hatred and anger, whistling towards the enemy.
At the same time, several guards around followed suit. They surrounded Yan Qingwan closely and worked together to shoot arrows towards the door.
For a moment, arrows rained down like rain, forming an impenetrable line of defense, flying towards the door.
Just then, Si Jinchen came to the alley where he lived.
Looking from afar, he saw a fierce scene with arrows flying and the two sides fighting fiercely.
He was startled, but quickly calmed down and galloped to a nearby distance.
When he glanced through the crowd outside and fell on Yan Qingwan inside the door, his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
At this moment, Yan Qingwan was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, standing in the center in a heroic manner, with a cold expression, exuding majesty and confidence.
Si Jinchen looked at her and felt a surge of pride in his heart.
This was the first time he knew her like this. No matter what difficulties she faced, this strong woman would not give in easily.
Si Jinchen took a deep breath and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then he raised his hand and swung it vigorously, shouting, "Kill!"
The guards riding their horses behind him all raised their swords and shouted in unison: "Kill!"
The sound was deafening and echoed throughout the streets.
Si Jinchen led his guards into the battlefield like a tiger descending from the mountain.
They were full of momentum, like a raging torrent, instantly breaking the stalemate.
The people who were originally gathered outside the mansion were frightened out of their wits by this sudden attack. They pissed and ran away in panic.
Si Jinchen's guards followed closely, not letting any enemy go.
For a moment, shouts and the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, and the smell of blood filled the air.
Amid the flashing of swords and the shadow of sabers, blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the earth red.
Soon, all the opponents were defeated.
Si Jinchen then stopped the sword in his hand, turned around, stepped into the gate, and finally stopped in front of Yan Qingwan.
Yan Qingwan subconsciously looked up at him. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he felt relieved and his tense nerves relaxed.
However, at this moment, the bow and arrow in her hand suddenly lost control and fell to the ground with a "bang".
Si Jinchen and Yan Qingwan looked down at the bow and arrow on the ground at the same time, and their eyes met at the same time.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Yan Qingwan's face, and Si Jinchen turned his eyes to her arm.
Then he gently took her hand and lifted it up slightly.
Yan Qingwan couldn't help but let out a hiss, obviously in unbearable pain.
Si Jinchen's brows knitted tightly, his eyes showing deep worry, and he asked softly, "Are you hurt?"
When Yan Qingwan heard this, she pursed her lips subconsciously, then nodded slowly under his concerned gaze.
Si Jinchen was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "It's my fault. You were great today."
Yan Qingwan: "I just know that His Highness will definitely come back."
Si Jinchen looked at her deeply, then picked her up and walked towards the backyard.
When the guards around saw this, they all turned their heads away and refused to look at anything inappropriate.
