After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Lu Qian suddenly looked at her and thanked her sincerely, "Linlang, thank you very much."

Yu Linlong rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's there to thank between friends?"

"In the past few days, your mother, your subordinates, and you have thanked me countless times. My ears are callused from hearing it. Please don't say it again in the future. I..."

Yu Linlang's eyes suddenly changed, and she pulled Lu Qian to her side and raised her hand.

As her true energy was stimulated, she intercepted a speeding arrowhead and shattered it into powder.

It was the first time that Lu Qian saw someone using his true Qi to shatter an iron arrow. He opened his mouth slightly in shock.

The soldiers outside were already shouting and fighting with others.

Yu Linlang dragged Lu Qian under the car, pulled out the silk ribbon from her waist and stretched it like a sword, intercepting dozens of arrows in the middle of the journey.

"I'll go see Madam Lu." Yu Linlang dragged Lord Lu out of the car and stuffed him into a dozen soldiers, and ordered, "Protect Lord Lu."

"Yes!"

"Lin...Lord Yuhu." Lu Qian called out anxiously.

The situation was urgent. Yu Linlang used her lightness skills to jump up without even turning her head, and leaped onto the carriage behind.

The driver and the horse were both shot in the throat by an arrow, and the carriage overturned and fell to the side of the road.

Yu Linlang was anxious and kept shouting, "Mrs. Lu, Madam Lu."

Mrs. Lu stretched out a trembling hand from behind the curtain.

Yu Linlang rushed over to pull it open, only to find that a soldier from the Dragon and Tiger Battalion who was sworn to protect her to the death was lying on top of her.

Mrs. Lu was so shocked that she was suffocating and couldn't speak for a while.

Yu Linlang hurriedly moved the body of the sacrificed soldier aside and pulled the lady out of the car, "Mrs. Lu, are you okay?"

Mrs. Lu was so frightened that she covered her chest with one hand and waved it repeatedly to indicate that she was fine. Looking at the corpses around her, she couldn't help crying.

Yu Linlang dodged the stray arrows along the way and brought Madam Lu back to Lu Qian, and ordered everyone to hold shields and fight while retreating.

The group retreated into the forest behind and hid under the trees.

Yu Linlang asked the captain to count the number of people. There were more than 200 people, nine of whom were killed, twenty were slightly injured, and five were seriously injured.

While Yu Linlang was bandaging and treating the wounded quickly, she said to everyone, "Carry the seriously injured and try to retreat to the depths of the forest. The assassin has a heavy crossbow with a limited range. The farther you retreat, the safer it is."

"Lord Yuhu, I'm worried that the enemy might set fire to the forest." The young lieutenant spoke with a worried look on his face.

Once the fire starts and the smoke fills the air, they will be trapped.

Yu Linlang nodded, "Your name is Wang Lin?"

"Exactly a humble job."

"Your worries are not unreasonable, so I will use some means to disperse them. As long as we pass this forest, we can meet up with the people sent by the prince."

Lu Qian was startled, "The prince will send someone to pick us up?"

"Yeah. Calculating the time, we should be able to meet each other after we get out of the forest."

Captain Wang was in high spirits and said, "We will obey Master Yuhu's orders. What do you want us to do?"

"I want you to carry the wounded forward first and protect Lord Lu and Madam Lu. No matter what noise you hear, do not look back."

"No, let's go together!" Lu Qian was the first to disagree.

It was so dangerous, how could he let Linlang be alone to cover the retreat?
Madam Lu glanced at her son silently, stretched out her hand to pull him up and said, "Master Yuhu, rest assured, we will try our best to get as far as possible, the faster the better, and we will never hold you back."

Hold back!
A huge rock almost knocked Lu Shaoqing unconscious. He looked at his mother with resentment.

Mrs. Lu grabbed her son and ran away.

My son, it’s not that your mother doesn’t want to help you, it’s just that you are so thin and weak. What else can you do except picking up a pen? Staying here will only cause more trouble to Lord Yuhu.

Yu Linlang smiled and told Wang Lin to take the wounded soldiers with him to protect the mother and son.

After everyone had moved away, she closed her eyes, took out the jade piece from her waist, and played the music of taming beasts.

There were many assassins, and they were pushing two heavy crossbows.

Seeing the people retreating into the forest, the masked leader led his men to the forest entrance and sneered, "Pour pine oil on them, let's set them on fire and have a good time!"

"Sir, there is an exit at the back of this forest. If they run fast, they will be able to escape from the forest."

"Humph, do you think you're the only one who's smart? The reason we took action in the birch forest is to ensure that there will be no mistakes. We have people lying in ambush at the exit of the forest."

Just wait, Lu Qian and his group are dead.

This kid couldn't investigate anything else, but instead found out that it was the Pei family. He deserves to be put to death!
Several men in black came forward with pine oil in their arms. The masked man in the lead smiled grimly, "Light it up!"

"Boss, did you hear any noise?"

The masked man in the lead frowned and was about to speak when he saw a flock of birds suddenly rushing out from the mouth of the woods, flying towards them in a large and chaotic manner.

As the wings flapped, birds of all sizes swooped down on their faces fearlessly, scorching their eyes and grabbing their noses, using every possible means.

Several men in black screamed and let go, and the pine oil cans rolled to the ground.

The others didn't even have time to get out their tinders and light them before they were pecked by the flock of birds and screamed. They turned around and ran for their lives in panic.

The masked leader was furious. He drew his sword and slashed left and right, shouting angrily, "Why are you all panicking? They are just a bunch of flat-haired beasts. Just chop them down!"

"Ah, ah!" A man in black next to him was blinded by a bird's beak and screamed and wailed with blood all over his face.

The others were all panicked when they saw this, and they kept shouting, "Boss, let's retreat first. Where did these birds come from? Could it be that the gods are angry?"

The ancients all believed in gods. When someone said this, some people became even more panicked and wanted to run away immediately, the farther the better.

"Bullshit gods." The masked man cursed, "Where did so many gods come from? Are you saying that the ancestor of the Lu family has appeared? He summoned birds to protect their descendants?"

"Come on!" The masked man narrowed his eyes and waved his sword. "Kill these flat-haired beasts and see how arrogant they are. After I have cleared out these things, I will set them on fire and burn them to death."

When the others saw that their leader refused to leave, they all retreated back in fear, drawing their swords and killing birds on both sides.

Yu Linlang walked slowly to the entrance of the woods, looking coldly at the people opposite, her gaze fixed on the two large heavy crossbows.

The Pei family was really ruthless. They even brought in heavy crossbows. They really wanted to kill Lu Shaoqing and make sure he couldn't return to Beijing.

"Since you don't want to leave, then just stay." Yu Linlang raised her hand and a guqin appeared in front of her.

As the strings of the zither were plucked, the true energy surged out.

A battle array song was played, full of solemnity and murderous intent.

As the strings of the zither were plucked, wisps of true energy intertwined between heaven and earth into a dense web, spreading out invisibly.

The masked leader was terribly frightened and thought to himself that it was too late to escape.

Blood gushed out of his mouth and he fell limply to the ground.

The rest of his men were so frightened that they didn't even have the strength to move their legs.

Yu Linlang played only half of the song, and everything in front of her returned to calm. (End of this chapter)
