The guard was shot and fell off the carriage. Before he could get up from the ground, the incoming group of Assassin Horses had already trampled over his body.

Even if the spirit armor on the guard was stronger than a thousand jin, he still wouldn't be able to withstand such a powerful stomp. By the time the assassin team had passed him, the guards had already been trampled to the point where they were covered in blood.

The assassins kept shooting as they chased after the carriage, and the arrows kept flying into the carriage from time to time. The two servants by Li Meier's side had already picked up their spirit swords and shot out arrows. They did not even hesitate to use their own bodies to block the arrows, to the point of risking their lives to protect Li Meier.

Soon, the arrows of the assassin reached the guard who was driving the carriage. He was hit on the back and the back of his head. His spirit armor was penetrated and he screamed as he fell off the carriage.

Seeing that, Hui Hong could only entrust the task of protecting Li Meier to Cui Lu. She got out of the carriage and continued to drive the horse carriage forward.

The closer the assassins got, the more arrows they shot, and the more powerful the arrows became.

The assassins chasing from behind were no longer easy to deal with, but there were different troubles. Another group of assassins appeared on the road ahead, and they even set up Rejecting Wooden-Horse s on the streets, preventing the carriage from continuing.

Huihong saw the situation clearly and her face changed. In this critical moment she didn't have time to think as she pulled the reins to stop the horses.

What should he do now that there were people blocking his path in front and people pursuing him from behind? Hui Hong's heart was already in her throat as her clothes within her spirit armor were drenched in sweat. Staring at the group of assassins in front of her, she clenched her fists tightly.

Just then, Li Meier struggled out of the carriage and looked at the assassins in front of her. She sighed in her heart, the ministers of the Ann Country were still unwilling to let her go!

She said to Hui Hong and Cui Lu who was beside her, "The person they want to kill is me, they shouldn't make things difficult for you two. Don't worry about me, let's go!"

When Hui Hong and Cui Lu heard this, their tears flowed. The two girls shook their heads and choked with sobs as they said, "Even if we have to die, we have to die together with Miss!"

"What's the point of this ?" Li Meier said softly.

The assassins chasing after them got off their horses one after another, and the assassins in front also jumped over the Rejecting Wooden-Horse. The two groups of assassins surrounded them from the front and back, trapping the carriage inside.

Some of these assassins were wearing spirit armors, while some carried spirit weapons. When they saw Li Meier on the carriage, everyone's gaze was different, there was shock, and there was also hatred.

"Witch, your time of death has come!" An assassin walked out from the crowd, holding a long spirit spear in his hand, he pointed it at Li Meier and walked straight towards her.

Hui Hong and Cui Lu jumped down from the carriage and blocked the man's path without a second thought. The assassin sneered as he swung the spirit spear horizontally, smashing the two girls' waists.

Seeing that the other party's spirit spear was strong and hard to deal with, the two girls dodged to the side at the same time. Taking the chance when the two of them were retreating, the assassin took the opportunity to rush to the front of the carriage and grabbed Li Meier who was on the carriage.

After silently cursing, it was already too late for Hui Hong and Cui Lu to come back and save him.

At this crucial moment, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Three bolts were shot from the sky in quick succession, nailing the assassin in all directions. The crossbow arrow wasn't able to pierce through his spirit armor, but it was enough to cause the assassin to stagger and fall head first onto the carriage.

There were palace guards nearby? The Assassins were all shocked, and they subconsciously looked in the direction the crossbow bolts came from. He saw a young man dressed like a commoner standing on the roof of a house, holding a crossbow in his hand.

If he wasn't a guard, then who was he? The assassins were filled with doubts, and just as they were hesitating, dozens of men dressed like commoners came out from the alleys on both sides of the street. Some of them were Spirit Cultivator, while others were ordinary people.

The assassins returned to their senses and did not waste time talking. They raised the weapons in their hands and began to fight with the unknown people. Not long after, the streets were in complete chaos. The clashing of weapons could be heard.

The spear wielding assassin shook his body and raised his hand again, wanting to grab Li Meier, but before his fingers could make contact with Li Meier, another dozen crossbow arrows flew over and nailed him to the ground.

A middle-aged man dressed like a commoner scurried out from the battlefield, rushing towards Hui Hong and Cui Lu, urgently saying, "Quickly escort the two of you out of the city, we're here to support you!"

Hui Hong and Cui Lu looked at him carefully, feeling both surprised and happy. They knew this middle-aged man, he was one of Cai Family's old servants, and one of their managers, Cai Bo.

The two girls were wild with joy as they nodded with tears in their eyes. They quickly returned to the carriage, raised their heads and looked ahead. The Rejecting Wooden-Horse s on the street had already been moved away by the Cai Family cultivators.

"We can't let that witch go!" The assassins shouted for the sky. Many of them abandoned their enemies and rushed towards the carriage like madmen.

And those Cai Family people who were dressed as commoners didn't care about their own lives as well, they desperately grabbed onto the assassin and hugged him, even if they were beaten to death by him, their hands were still tightly clenched, and were not willing to let go even a little.

The scene was a mess, people were on the ground shouting and shouting, many assassins and Cai Family people were already rolling on the ground, their faces all covered in dust.

Hui Hong and Cui Lu no longer had the time to care about the others as they whipped their horses and galloped on.0

On the road, it was unknown how many assassins pounced onto the carriage's walls, but they were then forcibly pulled down by the Cai Family people. Wherever the carriage passed by, the figures of people from both sides fighting would be seen.

It could be said that in order to protect Li Meier as she was about to leave the city safely, the Cai Family had already taken out the record that they had spent dozens of years trying to get past their Imperial Town. In the message that Cai Gui had sent to them, he had clearly mentioned that he wanted to protect Li Meier at all costs.

First, the Imperial Town would sooner or later be breached by the Feng Army, and sooner or later, it would all belong to the territory of the Feng Country. The people whose Cai Family were hiding in the Imperial Town had already lost their meaning of existence, and could be sacrificed.

Secondly, Li Meier was something that he had planned personally, so if he wanted to do it well, she would definitely be able to get a thorough understanding of the situation, and would naturally be praised greatly by Tang Yin. In regards to Cai Family, compared to getting the King's appreciation, the loss in sacrificing these few people was negligible.

For these two reasons, Cai Gui would rather use the lives of all the Cai Family s to exchange for Li Meier's safe return.

However, the yamen runners and soldiers did not appear for a long time, as if they did not know what was happening at the North City realm.

Li Meier was well aware that there were too many people who wanted to kill him, and they were all senior officials and ministers of the Ann Country court. The yamen runners and soldiers inside the city could not rush over to stop the assassin.

Under the protection of the Cai Family people, Hui Hong and Cui Lu finally reached the city gate. Now, looking at the carriage again, it was like an arrow target. There were countless arrows stabbed into it and many cuts on it. It was an extremely sorry sight.

At the gates to the North City City stood many troops, especially the Ann Army at the top of the city walls. Each and every one of them was filled with a thick killing intent, twirling their bows and nocked their arrows, ready to fire.

Hui Hong and Cui Lu looked at each other, their hearts that had just dropped a little just now had once again risen to their throats. From the looks of it, the guards at North City side shouldn't be in cahoots with the assassins, right?

She raised the order badge of King An Wang Yue Ze and shouted to the Ann Army at the top of the city wall, "Madam Yanning has been ordered by the King to leave the city. Open the city gates immediately!"

The main general of North City, Middle General Cheng Huaisong, was currently standing inside the City Gate Tower. He looked at the carriage and the token in Emerald's hand. Her brows were knitted as she subconsciously clenched her fists.

In his hand, he was holding a secret letter that had just been sent out. It was personally written by the Minister of the Left, Gao Zhen.

"General, give the order!" When the Deputy General saw that he did not give the order for a long time, he anxiously rubbed his hands and walked forward, urging him in a low voice.

Cheng Huaisong's face darkened, but he remained silent. The Left Premier had ordered him to obey, but how could he disobey the King's orders? On one side was the King, and on the other was the ministers of the imperial court. Just who was he going to listen to?

"General, we cannot delay any longer!" Deputy General said anxiously: "If General has any concerns, then this one will give the final order. If the King wants to pursue the matter, then this one will bear the responsibility ?"

"Can you afford it?" Cheng Huaisong suddenly turned around, and looked at Deputy General behind him, and spoke sternly: "This is no longer a matter of not getting rid of one's head, and not implicating the nine clans, it is also related to one's reputation. Killing the Madame, is tantamount to defying the heavens, and it is tantamount to betraying the nation, do you understand!"

"General, are we really going to release this witch back to the Feng Country for the sake of her life and death? For my Ann Country to exist today, it is all because of her! " Deputy General clenched her sword and said while gnashing her teeth.

"A mere girl, how could I possibly have that much ability? Even without Li Meier, how could my Ann Country be able to stop the northern wolves?!" Cheng Huaisong faintly sighed. He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before finally making a decision.

He tore Gao Zhen's letter into pieces, then shouted: "Pass on to my generals, open the city gates, send my wife out of the city!"

"General!" Deputy General was so anxious that her eyes were red. She dropped to her knees, grabbed his arm and cried out, "General, you can't!"

Cheng Huaisong swung his arm fiercely, and said coldly: "I have made up my mind, there's no need to persuade me anymore!"

While speaking, he quickly went down the city wall, parted the gates and went back to the carriages, intervened and bowed, and said: "General Cheng Huaisong greets Madam! I do not know how long I will take to welcome you, please forgive me! "

Emerald stared at Cheng Huaisong, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, walked up and handed over the order badge, then asked with a trembling voice: "The Madam has orders to leave the city, are you going to let her go?" Her words were strong, but her shaky tone betrayed her lack of confidence.
