Chapter 1695: Chapter 1695
After the Chu King’s people left with him, Su Yunjin finally felt relieved. Although the Chu King had just lost a lot of blood, he certainly wouldn’t be in any mortal danger.
The Chu King’s injury was on his shoulder, which is not a vital area, so it definitely wouldn’t be life-threatening. After such a long fight, the black-clad men were either dead or wounded. Though the people Gu Ya arranged to protect her also suffered injuries, none were serious, only minor wounds. After the Chu King left, Xue Chu resumed guarding Su Yunjin, fully protecting her.
"Madam, don’t worry! I won’t let anything happen to you." Xue Chu’s eyes were red with rage, yet his moves remained deadly and fierce. The black-clad men, having experienced Xue Chu’s might, now had some fear of him.
Su Yunjin hid behind Xue Chu. Now, behind him was the safest place. Since Gu Ya trusted him, Su Yunjin trusted him too. Just then, the sound of galloping hooves came from the front, and a group of riders quickly surrounded everyone.
They were armed with bows and arrows, clad in armor, clearly a well-trained troop. At the forefront stood a tall and strong man in his thirties.
"Master’s orders, leave no black-clad man, capture them alive." At the man’s command, his troops immediately drew their swords and advanced. Su Yunjin stood in place, looking at these suddenly appearing people. Hearing the leader’s orders, she realized this troop should be under the Chu King’s command.
She recalled that the two attendants of the Chu King, when rescuing him, had mentioned that their people would arrive soon. Su Yunjin didn’t take those words to heart at the time, but now it seemed these were indeed the Chu King’s people.
Xue Chu, seeing these people targeting the black-clad men, couldn’t help but feel delighted. With their assistance, he could escort Madam out safely.
It was evident that the people sent by the Chu King were all highly skilled in martial arts. The black-clad men were quickly overwhelmed. Realizing they were outmatched, the black-clad men abandoned their assassination attempts on Su Yunjin and focused on retreating. Xue Chu, not wanting to continue fighting, noticed they no longer attacked him and promptly took Su Yunjin with him to leave.
Su Yunjin also wanted to leave this dangerous place quickly, desperately fleeing with Xue Chu. Using his martial arts, Xue Chu swiftly fled through several streets with Su Yunjin, then found a carriage for her to sit in.
Having been focused only on escaping, Su Yunjin hadn’t paid much attention along the way. Now that they were safely away and out of danger, she only then realized that Xue Chu had been injured. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Brother Xue, you’re bleeding? Are you alright?" Su Yunjin looked at Xue Chu with concern. He had several visible wounds on his back and arms.
Xue Chu nonchalantly shook his head, "Madam, it’s just minor wounds, nothing serious. They’ll heal in a couple of days." During training, Xue Chu had suffered more severe injuries than this, so these minor wounds were nothing to him. Soon, Hong Wu and a few others caught up.
Compared to Xue Chu, Hong Wu and the others were more seriously wounded. Seeing everyone injured, Su Yunjin suggested, "Brother Xue, how about this? Why don’t you take the brothers to the pharmacy for some bandages?"
"Madam, it’s not necessary. We only have superficial wounds, nothing to worry about." Xue Chu dared not relax his guard; the most important thing now was to safely send Lady Gu back.
