Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 16 Breaking through the siege
At this moment, Wei Luoyan learned that Ji Anyu went to find Ji Xiuxu.

"Ji Anyu may have guessed it, take action immediately!"

"Yes." Shuda was ready to die.

When they rushed into the house, it was empty and the windows were wide open.

"Damn it, are you blind? You didn't even notice the person ran away, hurry up and chase him!"

Shuda couldn't bear to do it before, but now his heart has become hardened.

The assassination of the young master must not be leaked out, the Duke and his men must die.

"Don't let any of them go, especially the messenger."

Ji Xiuxu and his companions were not prepared when they fled, and the horses were still in the stable.

"My Lord, Young Master Wei really wanted to assassinate us. Fortunately, we ran fast." Daduan said fearfully.

If it happens in a dream, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Don't be careless. They have horses and will find us soon."

Ji Xiuxu glanced at Ji Anyu who was calm beside him, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

As expected of his daughter, she remained calm in times of crisis.

"Daduan, we will split into two groups. You take 10 people to protect An Yu, and the others will follow me to lead them away."

Zhusha nodded, and he and his brothers protected Ji Anyu and walked in the middle.

"Shuda, the Duke is there! Hurry up and follow him."

"Wait, take a few people with you to chase the Duke, and the rest of you follow me to kill Ji Anyu."

Pulled by reason, Shuda began to be indecisive again.

Privately, he did not want Ji Xiuxu to die. Behind Ji Xiuxu was the entire Duke's Mansion. Killing Ji Xiuxu would mean a complete break between Nanhou Mansion and the Duke's Mansion.

Ji Anyu was different. She was a legitimate daughter who came out halfway. If she was gone, she was gone. Besides, there was a more noble legitimate daughter in the Duke's Mansion.

Since you hate Ji Anyu so much, I will send Ji Anyu to hell tonight.

"Oh no! They are catching up with us!" Daduan was horrified.

He and the Duke imagined that the Nanhou Mansion would betray the Crown Prince, and the assassination was intended for the Duke.

Therefore, the Duke left many guards behind.

Unexpectedly, the Nanhou Mansion did not chase after the Duke, but instead chased after the girl.

"Wei Luoyan is narrow-minded and extremely vicious. Miss, please run quickly. I will leave you behind."

Ji Anyu had already guessed that Wei Luoyan was going to assassinate her.

She knew that she was weak, and after hearing Daduan's words, she decisively hid in the dense grass nearby.

Daduan looked in astonishment as Ji Anyu disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye. After a while, he calmed down and fought with Shuda who was running towards him.

After Ji Anyu crawled out of the bushes, he ran desperately into the woods.

The sound of wolves could be heard faintly in the woods.

Ji Anyu paused, gritted his teeth and continued to rush in.

There are wolves in front and tigers behind, so just take one step at a time.

"Where did this yellow-haired girl come from?"

"Boss, could it be that Shen Jing wants to lure us away with a beauty trap?"

"Humph, kill him!"

Under the faint moonlight, there were flashes of swords and sabers.

Ji Anyu was in tears. She did not die by the sword of Nanhou Mansion, but died inexplicably at the hands of others.

The man suddenly hugged her slender waist, and Ji Anyu's face was forced to hit the man's hard chest.

The man took Ji Anyu and turned around to avoid the sword.

A cool and familiar fragrance filled Ji Anyu's nose, and her eyes instantly became wet.

It wasn't because she was moved by Shen Jing saving her, but because her nose was hurting so much that her tear glands were secreting.

With Shen Jing around, Ji Anyu felt much more at ease.

Even if Shen Jing ran out of strength in the end and they were killed, it would be nice to have someone familiar to accompany her to drink Meng Po soup on the road.

When Shuda injured Daduan and caught up with them, Shen Jing and his men were surrounded by assassins.

"I don't know if these people are friends or enemies. Shuda, should we go?"

Shu Dawang is a standout among the others, and he happens to know Shen Jing.

Shen Jing was notorious in the capital for being a scoundrel, idle and spending all his time visiting brothels.

The princelings never took Shen Jing seriously.

Who would go to such great lengths to come here from the capital to kill Shen Jing? Shu Da was puzzled. He glanced at Shen Jing, who was struggling to deal with the assassin, and turned to the person behind him.

"Those assassins are more skilled than us. If we go over and help them, after we kill Shen Jing, they might try to silence us."

"Then Ji Anyu doesn't care?"

"Ji Anyu will surely die even without our help. Let's retreat first."

As soon as Shuda left, Zhusha arrived with his helpers.

The assassins' formation was quickly broken up, and Shen Jing led Ji Anyu out of the encirclement, waving the long-faced sword in his hand, and blood splattered everywhere.

Ji Anyu didn't know how long she ran until she got rid of the assassin behind her, then she stopped to catch her breath.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Ji Anyu grabbed Shen Jing's arm, his face full of nervousness and worry.

Shen Jing lowered his eyes to glance at the jade hand on his arm and laughed softly.

"You care about me so much?"

Ji Anyu rolled his eyes at him, asking why he was still joking and teasing her at this time.

"I'm afraid that the smell of blood on you will attract wolves, tigers and leopards."

"Hi~"

Shen Jing was on the verge of falling, and he stuck his sword into the ground for leverage.

"Where are you injured? How do you feel now?" Ji Anyu quickly supported Shen Jing.

Shen Jing raised the corner of his lips and leaned on Ji Anyu.

"My whole body hurts, but don't worry, I can barely resist wolves, tigers and leopards, and I won't let you fall into their stomachs."

He tilted his head slightly and rested it against Ji Anyu's head.

"I'm so tired now and need to rest."

Ji Anyu felt inexplicably annoyed. She had already said that she would return to the capital as soon as possible, so why didn't she leave?

Seeing Shen Jing so weak and injured that he couldn't take care of himself, the words of rebuke were stuck in his throat.

"Let's find a place to rest first."

It was cold at night, luckily Shen Jing carried a tinder with him, and Ji Anyu picked up some dry branches and lit them, which dispelled most of the cold.

Seeing that they were settled, Shen Jing asked Ji Anyu why he appeared in the woods.

When Ji Anyu finished telling Shen Jing about Wei Luoyan's assassination, she could feel Shen Jing's anger even across the fire.

Shen Jing stared at the bloodstains on Ji Anyu's face and said, "Come closer."

Ji Anyu was suppressed by Shen Jing's powerful aura and dared not move.

For the first time, she clearly realized that the man in front of her was the rumored tyrannical Prince Zhong's Mansion and the nephew of the current emperor.

Shen Jing sighed helplessly and calmed down.

"My wound may be inflamed. I feel particularly cold tonight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Anyu's butt finally left the stone "stool".

Shen Jing is still useful and cannot die.

The slender hand reached out to Shen Jing's forehead.

Shen Jing closed his eyes subconsciously and felt a soft warmth covering his forehead.

"It's not very hot, so I don't think I have a fever."

Ji Anyu pretended to take off her coat and put it on Shen Jing.

Shen Jing's ears turned red and he turned his head away.

"what are you doing?"

Ji Anyu saw Shen Jing act like she was going to bully him and said unhappily.

"Aren't you cold? Give me some clothes to wear."

Shen Jing's breathing stopped for a moment, the intimate events of that night reappeared in his mind, and his whole body became hot.

"No, men and women should not touch each other, you can put it on yourself."

Ji Anyu glared and really wanted to punch Shen Jing.

Shen Jing was the one who said all the good and bad things.

She can wear whatever she wants. When it’s cold, she even complains that she doesn’t wear enough.

"Then why did you call me over here?"

Shen Jing turned around, rummaged in his pocket, and took out a bottle of medicine.
