Chapter 23 - Chapter 23. Sudden Attack (2)

If it wasn't for this precarious situation, Maybe he will cut off that woman's tongue.

Bai Jun immediately walked over first, followed by Zhang Jiangwu. "Don't be far from me, Your Majesty," he said as he quickened his pace. They entered the forest, armed only with the moonlight which was not too bright, they continued to move, looking for a suitable place to hide.

SYUUTTT…

Suddenly an arrow flew right in front of Zhang Jiangwu's face and pierced into a nearby tree trunk. If only his pace had been faster, he might have been injured by an arrow by now.

Ara who knew this immediately looked around, "It's useless. There are a lot of them and now we're surrounded," she muttered as she saw several black shadows leaping over the branches surrounding them.

Zhang Jiangwu stopped in his tracks, and so did Bai Jun. At the same time, several foreign figures stood in front of them.

"Your Highness, be careful. Back off and find a safe place. I'll block them." Bai Jun said immediately and stood before Zhang Jiangwu.

"No, I can't possibly leave you here alone, Bai Jun," Zhang Jiangwu retorted.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to return to the palace if you get hurt, please listen to me. It's dangerous here, I will protect you as hard as I can, I ask you for help, this time listen to me, Your Majesty," said Bai Jun still standing on his feet.

Hearing that, Zhang Jiangwu took a deep breath. He slowly lowered Xiao Ara's body, then looked at the strangers around him. "Who are you guys? Why did you attack us all of a sudden?" Zhang Jiangwu asked in a loud voice.

But sadly, no one answered his question. Instead, the foreigners attacked Bai Jun and Zhang Jiang Wu.

Immediately Bai Jun and Zhang Jiangwu take their respective swords and put up a fight, while Ara, the girl originally wanted to run away, but the current situation didn't allow it. Even the foreigners were also pointing their swords at Ara.

Armed with martial arts skills in her previous life, Ara tries to fight and tries not to get hurt at all.

In the dim moonlight, a fierce battle ensued. No one knows the identity and purpose of these people. Being in a desperate situation, Bai Jun and Zhang Jiangwu did not hesitate to slash and stab their opponent's body.

However, despite their good swordsmanship skills, they were outnumbered. The people continued to arrive making Bai Jun and Zhang Jiangwu start to get overwhelmed.

While on the other hand, Ara managed to grab the sword of one of her opponents and use it. At first, she found it difficult, but after getting into the fight, she was able to adjust to the sword in her hand. Playing the sword with the martial arts she mastered was very fun. Finally, Ara managed to overthrow her opponents one by one.

Bai Jun and Zhang Jiangwu were shocked when they saw the girl's actions, it was just that now wasn't the right time to show their feelings.

The fight continues, many victims fall. Several sword scratches covered Zhang Juangwu and Bai Jun's body parts, not only that, but their clothes also looked a little torn.

"Your Majesty, you better get out of here. Let me face them," Bai Jun shouted, his voice heavy. But unfortunately, Zhang Jiangwu ignored the man's words, and it managed to make Bai Jun feel hopeless.

"Ahhh..." suddenly a scream of pain was heard. Bai Jun immediately turned to the crown prince and found the man already slumped on the ground. An arrow pierced his shoulder, blood dripping from it.

"Your Majesty," shouted Bai Jun immediately approaching the man. However, his steps suddenly stopped when several people blocked him and attacked him blindly, and managed to create gaping wounds on Bai Jun's calves and hands, causing him to instantly fall to the ground.

The pain was so excruciating that the two men couldn't move and fight again.

Now, only Xiao Ara was left. The girl was still fighting back. Only a few minor injuries could be seen filling her arms.

Seeing Zhang Jiangwu and Bai Jun's condition, she immediately grabbed another sword that was nearby and ran to attack the people who seemed to want to end the lives of the two men.

Bai Jun and Zhang Jiangwu could no longer move could, they tried to get up but failed and fell to the ground again.

"Do you think you can injure the crown prince of the Qin kingdom?" shouted Ara, then threw her sword at a forty-degree angle, aiming at the tree branch. At the same time, a scream was heard, someone fell from that branch of the tree, a sword stuck in his arm.

And that succeeded in making the people angry and pointing their swords at Ara. Ignoring the existence of Zhang Jiangwu and Bai Jun.

"Miss, behind you," Bai Jun shouted when he saw someone trying to draw his sword at Xiao Ara's body.

Ara reflexively lowered her head and her body, twisted her body with one leg straightened, making the people around her fall. With agile movements, Ara jumped and slashed their bodies one by one in a circular motion.

At first glance, it looks like someone who is dancing.

For a moment, Zhang Jiangwu and Bai Jun were stunned. The two men watched all of Xiao Ara's movements without blinking, they even ignored the pain in their bodies.

Instantly the same thought popped into their heads, 'Was Xiao Ara one of those intruders? Why did the girl protect them?'

A few moments passed, finally, Ara managed to beat them. After making sure the conditions around her were safe, she walked towards the two men with slow steps. Her breathing was heavy but still steady.

"I will draw this arrow, don't cry," said Ara while holding the bow stuck in Zhang Jiangwu's shoulder.

"Stop… Don't do it. Don't treat him lightly, Miss. Only the royal healer can treat the wound, don't make it worse," said Bai Jun.

Hearing that, Xiao Ara snorted.

At the same time, several screams were heard.

"Your Majesty…"

"Bai Jun... Where are you guys?"

Immediately Ara turned around and saw several people holding torches in their hands. They were friends of the crown prince. Just looking at their state, she already knew that they had also succeeded in defeating those foreigners.
