After two days of travel, Qingyan and his group had crossed the Yangtze River and entered Yangzhou, and they were less than two days away from Jinling.

It was the hour of You, and Bai Yi took the team to an inn to prepare for a night of rest. This inn is not far from the official road. Perhaps because it is not far from the capital, the store is really not small, and the lobby on the first floor can accommodate more than twenty tables.

Bai Yi had already greeted him on the way to Taohua Valley. Because of the weight of the silver and the reputation of the royal palace side by side, the store no longer picked up customers early and waited for Qingyan and his group to arrive.

With a thunder sound, it was already pouring rain outside the inn. Qing Yan and Zhao Ling'er looked at each other and smiled, feeling that Bai Yi's decision was very correct.

The two were sitting in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, while Bai Yi led the remaining twenty guards to sit in the surrounding seats and guarded the two in the middle.

Feeling the hot gazes from time to time by the guards around him, Qingyan felt a little unaware of it, and then asked in a low voice: "Ling'er, are these people all guards standing side by side with the royal palace?" Zhao Ling'er replied indifferently: "That's right, you know that Uncle Bai Yi is the commander of the guards. These people are also good at guards in the royal palace."

Qingyan continued to ask with some laughter and cry, "Although I know that they value me so much out of respecting our father, the look they cast is a bit unreasonable. Those who don't know about it would think I am a beautiful woman who is beautiful."

Zhao Ling'er looked around. When the guards saw it, they immediately turned their heads elsewhere, and those who drank tea, those who ate vegetables ate vegetables, and those who ate ceiling looked at the ceiling.

Zhao Ling'er chuckled and said, "Brother, you don't know anything. To outsiders, although these people are the guards of our royal palace side by side, only a few people know that these guards have followed their father to the battlefield countless times before. Moreover, in the years when you were missing, they have finally gotten what they want to do because they finally got what they want. There is nothing wrong with being more eager in their eyes."

Seeing that the guards around him turned their heads elsewhere, Yu Guang glanced at him from time to time, Qing Yan sighed in his heart how heroic he was back then, and he could make these people so enthusiastic about his prince after he disappeared for so many years.

"How many guards are there in the royal palace side by side? I saw that there were less than 30 people coming with Commander Bai this time, so I am afraid that most of the people in the royal palace have come?" Qing Yan was a little confused.

"How can it be so exaggerated? As the king of father, who is one of the three major legions of Nan Zhao, is the head coach of the Huainan Legion, one of the three major legions of Nan Zhao, how can the royal palace have only a few dozen people to guard?" Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but smile.

"Doesn't there be too many people? I remember the guards in Fanning City Prefect's Mansion, who have only more than forty people. Is there more than a hundred guards in the royal palace?"

"To be honest, Ling'er didn't know how many guards there were in the palace. In addition to the 120 people on the surface, there were also many people in secret, but I was not interested in these things. I was too lazy to ask if Uncle Bai didn't say it."

"One hundred and twenty people? Not necessarily all of them? Then if you count the maids and other people, how much food will you have to cook a day!"

Zhao Ling'er laughed at him, which made Qingyan a little embarrassed.

Just as Zhao Linger looked at Qingyan and smiled heartlessly, the lights in the lobby on the first floor suddenly went out without any warning, and the whole room was instantly pitch black and disappeared.

The moment the lights went out, Qingyan had quickly grabbed Zhao Ling'er's hand and pulled her to her side. Just as Qingyan was about to speak, he felt a pair of powerful and powerful hands resting on his shoulders. Then Bai Yi's voice came over: "Criminal, Princess, are you all okay?"

After knowing that it was Bai Yi, Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm fine, Ling'er, are you fine?" But after pausing for a moment, he did not hear Zhao Ling'er's answer. Qingyan couldn't help but hold the other person's hand tightly and said anxiously: "Ling'er, why don't you speak? Are you injured?"

"It's okay! Ling'er is okay!"

Upon hearing the answer, Qing Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not hear that Zhao Linger's tone was a slight unnatural one.

"General Bai, it seems that someone doesn't want me to live to Jinling." A sneer appeared on Qingyan's face.

Bai Yi's calm voice in the dark came over, "Young master, no matter what happens, don't leave the side of the general." After that, he said in a deep voice to the surroundings: "Listen, don't look for candles, and don't act without permission. Just break the tables and chairs around you and make a fire."

With Bai Yi's order, Qingyan heard various sounds of breaking tables and chairs coming from all around him. For a moment, he had to admire Bai Yi's ability to adapt.

The candles in the lobby were extinguished in an instant, obviously due to man. If you recklessly light the candle, you may have fallen into the full set set by the enemy. Bai Yi directly asked the guards to make fire on the spot. In addition to preventing the enemy from moving in the candle, it can also prevent the guards from being defeated one by one because of lighting the candle.

But just as the guards were about to make a fire, all the windows and doors suddenly opened, and the howling wind outside the house blew in unscrupulously. Not only did Qingyan feel a little unable to open his eyes, but he also blew out the fire brokers in the guards' hands.

Taking advantage of the light coming from outside, Qingyan observed that the guards around him were in a circle of cities around him, and there were many broken tables and chairs under his feet. Bai Yi protected him behind him and observed the door vigilantly. At this time, he was holding Zhao Ling'er's hand to protect her, and he couldn't see Zhao Ling'er's expression clearly for a while.

Bai Yi was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, your safety concerns the lives of too many people, so I will think that this place should not be kept for a long time, so I should leave quickly."

Although Qingyan didn't know what Bai Yi's first half sentence meant, he agreed with the second half, so he nodded and said, "General Bai, you are right, and I think we should rush to Jinling overnight to prevent the night from getting too long and dreaming."

Seeing that he agreed, Bai Yi ordered someone around him: "Wang Hao, you can bring a few people out to bring the carriage and horses here, and we will rush to Jinling overnight."

The guard called Wang Hao was a man in his early thirties. He had a slightly thin figure but a very heavy voice. "I obey the order." After that, he took a few people to touch the door.

"careful!"

Wang Hao just took the people to the edge of the door when he heard Bai Yi's roar coming from behind.

Wang Hao, who was walking in the front, quickly retreated without hesitation. And the moment he left, three crossbow arrows were nailed to the spot, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly.

Just as Qingyan was focusing on the door, he suddenly felt something strange on his head and looked up. He saw a big hole had been broken on the roof, and light shone in from outside.

"Overhead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an assassin in black tights fell from the sky without warning, with a long sword in his hand tattooing the flamed sky cover.

Qingyan was about to take action, but he felt a strong wind whizzing past his cheeks!

The long strips in Bai Yi's hand that had been wrapped in cloth had already revealed their true appearance at this time. It was a pitch-black spear, and the spear had pierced through the assassin's body in an instant, and the red blood was flowing down the gun rod.

Qingyan couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that the black arc just now was this red-faced gun.

The gun is like lightning!

After throwing the body on the tip of the gun with his right hand to the wall, Bai Yi asked for a voice and said to the crowd: "Since you have taken action, don't hide it."

Perhaps in response to Bai Yi's words, an assassin fell again in the big hole on the roof, and this time there was no one else, but it was falling from the sky continuously.

Countless black-clothed assassins also flipped in outside the windows, all of whom had a very tacit understanding and immediately rushed towards Qingyan and his group.

Without Bai Yi giving another order, all the guards drew out the qi sword and formed a circular formation with Qingyan as the center to resist the opponent's attack.

The entire first-floor lobby was filled with swords and murderous intent.

Apart from the sound of swords and swords intersecting, there was no shout for killing in the inn.

The impact spark! The cold sword light!

Bai Yi's Zhuyan spear penetrated countless assassins who had jumped over, and the gun rod was already red.

Looking at the guards who did not retreat even if they were injured, Qingyan sincerely admired them.

When he saw Wang Hao being chopped down and kneeling on the ground, Qingyan pulled Zhao Ling'er to Bai Yi's side and rushed forward without hesitation.

The blue light is as beautiful as satin.

After the light passed, Wang Hao, who knew he would die, suddenly found a person in front of him. Because the light was dim, he could only see this man holding a strange-shaped soft sword in his hand fighting against the enemy in his former position. After seeing his clothes clearly, Wang Hao was shocked.

"Young, young master?"

When Bai Yi saw Qingyan rushing up, he wanted to stop him, but as soon as he took a step on his right foot, he stopped.

If a group of assassins and sluts are afraid and refuse to move forward, then the two armies of Japan will be even more delusional in the future. And Bai Yi believes that the prince will never just enjoy the flowers and scenery in the Taohua Valley for half a year.

Looking at Qingyan's back and the Qingluan sword in his hand, Bai Yi smiled at the corners of his eyes.

As expected, if the prince could kill the enemy without fear of the enemy's efforts in front of the prince's former personal guards, he would have unintentionally established a strong prestige in the hearts of these people and could spread the story of tonight through the mouths of everyone.

Of course, Qingyan didn't know what Bai Yi was thinking. When he heard Wang Hao's voice, he yelled without looking back: "Wang Hao, is the injury serious?"

"Your Highness, your position is humble, and you will betray the prince..." Wang Hao wiped the corners of his eyes and stood up with difficulty.

"Wang Hao! What nonsense are you talking about? Did my father, whom I have never seen before, hide behind you when he meets an enemy?" Qing Yan laughed: "Everyone! Although Qing Yan knows that you are the responsibility, I have been used to wild life over the years. When I encounter a fight, I will sharpen my forehead and drill in. Since these assassins and friends come uninvited tonight, if they don't entertain themselves, how is it a way to treat guests?"

The guards were all moved. Although they found the prince's biological flesh and blood, they didn't know what the young master was. If they were arrogant and perverted, they would naturally not say anything. But if they could have a little bit of a king's spirit, it would be mercy.

But they never expected that the young master not only saved Wang Hao, but also stood on the front with a sharp sword in his hand without retreating at all. In addition, this joking tone was just resisting the sword for a while and no one answered.

"Brothers, but Qingyan's voice is too small and I can't hear it clearly? Then let me ask again, are you willing to kill the enemy side by side with me?" Qingyan pierced another person and wiped the blood from his face.

"kill!"

The air is soaring into the sky!

Qingyan smiled at the sky, and the Qingluan sword roared like a phoenix. Each person and one sword no longer just guarded and refused to move forward, but took a heavy step forward and entered it.

Bai Yi's palm holding the gun trembled slightly, and said to Zhao Ling'er beside him: "Princess, have you seen it? This is the prince's legitimate son, your brother, and the young master who I, Bai Yi, swears to be loyal to to the death."

Zhao Ling'er looked at Qingyan's back, which was stained with blood, without an answer.
