“Look out!”
With a shout, Vice Admiral Liu leapt up, but it was too late, the sharp sword had already reached Song Wangyue and was about to pierce her face, Vice Admiral Liu was so shocked that his heart was about to jump out.
Clang!
Song Wangyue had an extra dagger in her hand, blocking the sword and sliding down the blade with her backhand.
The man scrambled to gather momentum and flew back.
Vice-Admiral Liu made a mid-air turn and chased after him. If he let this man escape today, he would not have to be a lieutenant general, so he could go home and plant his seeds.
The soldiers followed suit, leaving Song Wan Yue and Song Yi to stay where they were.
The street was quiet, and Song Yi and his men protected Song Wan Yue in the middle, looking around nervously.
Several figures came out of the shadows and pressed straight at them. Song Yi and his five men took two steps forward, still protecting Song Wan Yue, but blocking their attacks and preventing them from hurting Song Wan Yue.
Song Wangyue sat on her horse, calmly looking at what was happening in front of her.
The attackers seemed to want a quick and ruthless attack, and in a few moments, Song Yi’s body was covered in colour.
“Dongjia, let’s pester them while you go back to the medicine house.”
There were heavy troops over at the Medicine House, as long as they ran back there, these men would not dare to chase after them again.
“No need.”
Song Wangyue leapt up and flew downwards, the dagger in her hand flashed with cold light to reach one man, and before that man could dodge, his throat was slashed and blood spurted out.
He didn’t seem to dare to believe it, his eyes widened and he fell backwards, his body landing heavily on the ground with a muffled thud.
The remaining men seemed to be shocked by her and their movements slowed. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Wangyue once again bullied her way to one man, still making the same move, and killed another.
The other men were shocked by her ruthlessness, and their attacks slowed down, and they had the intention to retreat.
“Don’t let any of them go!”
The man subconsciously covered his neck and retreated, but Song Wangyue’s dagger landed on his body, accompanied by a scream, and the man fell backwards.
The remaining six men, unable to care about anything else, fled in all directions. Song Yi’s five men chased after them, leaving only the one who had fled to the east.
Song Wangyue also did not chase after them, standing still and watching, when she saw the panicked fleeing man suddenly stop in his tracks and retreat step by step.
Song Wangyue hooked the corners of her mouth and unhurriedly wiped the blood from the dagger and put it away.
Vice General Liu had already taken the man down and thrown him to his men to be tied up, and came over with big steps, before he could get close, he saw the corpse on the ground, his pupils shrank fiercely and looked at Song Wan Yue, “Miss Song, are you alright?”
“No matter.”
Vice General Liu let out a sigh of relief, “Damn it, how dare they play a diversionary tactic for me, let’s see how I will deal with them later.”
It was his carelessness, fortunately Miss Song was fine, otherwise he wouldn’t have had the face to meet the general and Song Yin.
“There are still a few more, my men have already gone after them.”
“When did the city inside this border pass become a sieve, even assassins can get in, are those people guarding the gates dry eaters?”
“It doesn’t have to be an assassin.”
“What, what do you mean?”
“You’ll see if you look over them.”
Vice-Admiral Liu walked to a corpse and bent down, felt around him for a moment and fished out a waist tag, and after reading the words on it clearly by the moonlight, his face changed, surprisingly it was one of the Third Prince’s men.
Song Yi and the five returned and, as Song Wan Yue had expected, did not catch up with the five men. Although Song Yi’s men were not inferior in martial arts, the Third Prince’s men were no slackers either, and Song Yi’s men did not stand a chance.
Seeing the shame on their faces, Song Wan Yue did not comfort them and said to Vice General Liu, “We have to go back to the Medicine House.”
Vice General Liu also saw a few people hanging up their colours, nodded and took the men back.
After they left, the door of the Medicine House was closed and all the men retreated inside, hearing a knock on the door, the men inside raised their guard, “Who is it?”
“Me.”
Hearing that it was Vice Admiral Liu’s voice, the man inside immediately opened the door and immediately smelt blood, he was immediately tightened up, “What’s wrong?”
“Someone is trying to kill Miss Song.”
As he spoke, Vice General Liu moved his body aside to allow Song Wangyue’s few people to enter, gesturing for the soldiers to guard the outside and himself to follow in last.
Song Wangyue went to get medicine to stop the bleeding of Song Yi’s few people.
The person in charge came running from behind, not even having time to lift his shoes.
After standing all day, he had just had someone fetch hot water to soak his feet. Since Song Yin had warned that day, he had kept people awake, not expecting that nothing had happened to the medicine house, but instead something had happened to Miss Song.
“Is Miss Song alright?”
“I’m fine, they’re injured.”
Hearing that Song Wangyue was fine, the person in charge also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Vice-Admiral Liu, “What happened?”
“It’s all my fault, I was careless, luckily Miss Song is highly skilled in martial arts, otherwise I could not escape blame for all my deaths.”
“It’s good that it’s okay, it’s good that it’s okay.”
The man in charge was a million times more grateful.
Song Wangyue treated several people’s wounds, re-exited the medicine house and went back to the general’s residence.
This time, Vice General Liu sent the people directly to the entrance of her courtyard and watched her go in before he went to find Shen Yan and handed the searched waist tag to him, “The Third Prince is also too arrogant, so blatantly looking for someone to assassinate, he is not putting you in his eyes at all.”
Shen Yan picked up the waist card and looked at it, then casually put it on the table, “Has the man been arrested?”
“Two have been caught.”
“Take them with you and go to the Third Prince, make a lot of noise.”
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Yan and Vice General Liu left the general’s residence, the two of them on horses, walking one behind the other, followed by two teams of soldiers, escorting two men tied up in fives.
It had been a long time since there had been so much commotion in the city, and those who heard the commotion came out to look, with some bold ones raising their voices and asking, “General, has this captured the spies?”
Shen Yan’s voice was not too high or too low, but it could be heard clearly by the onlookers, “It’s not a scout, it’s the person who assassinated Miss Song just now, Vice General Liu searched the waist tag from them, they are the Third Prince’s men.”
The Third Prince’s people?
The crowd instantly thought of what happened a few days ago, the Third Prince is not working in the open but in the dark? “General, you can’t indulge them, Miss Song is here to make pills for our generals at the border, you have to seek justice for her.”
“Naturally I will, if you are unsure, you can follow them there.”
As soon as the people heard this, they followed, and the more they walked the more people followed, and by the time they got to the mansion where the Third Prince was being held, there were already hundreds of people.
When the guards heard the commotion and opened the door to see that it was Shen Yan, they immediately came out and saluted, “General.”
“Invite the Third Prince out.”
“Yes.”
The man went in and quickly brought out the Third Prince.
Seeing such a huge battle outside, the Third Prince was startled and was just about to ask a question when he saw Shen Yan waving his hand and soldiers pushing two men tied up in fives forward.
“Look, Third Prince, is this one of your men?”
