The man in black lit a torch, and the light fell on Qi Zeyi's face, making his eyes glow red.
There was a smug light in his eyes, and he ordered, "Kill Xie Yunsong for me!"
The rest of his men gathered around Xie Yunsong. Just as Bai Zhiyuan was about to draw her sword, Xie Yunsong held her hand and shook his head at her.
Bai Zhiyuan didn't understand why, but he didn't act rashly.
The next moment, Xie Yunsong took a step forward. Qi Zeyi stood outside the encirclement that trapped him, looking at him with an interested smile on his face, as if he was watching a caged animal.
Xie Yunsong flipped his wrist, and the long sword in his hand flew out, leaving a streak of light. In the blink of an eye, there was a thud, and the two men in black standing in the front fell to the ground. No one saw how Xie Yunsong drew his sword, and the two men had already fallen to the ground and died.
Then, without a moment's pause, before the rest of the people could react, Xie Yunsong jumped up, took advantage of this gap, broke out of the encirclement, swung the sword in his hand, and rushed straight towards Qi Zeyi.
Bai Yu, who was standing next to Qi Zeyi, was startled and immediately stood in front of Qi Zeyi, then drew his sword and swung it at him with the back of the sword.
Xie Yunsong used his sword to block the knife, causing Bai Yu to take a few steps back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Yunsong turned the tip of his sword and pointed it towards Qi Zeyi.
But Qi Zeyi was no pushover either. Although he was a beat slow to react and was a little passive, he still reacted quickly and the two of them soon engaged in a fight.
Seeing this, Qi Zeyi's men also rushed forward.
If it were normal times, Bai Zhiyuan would naturally not worry about Xie Yunsong, but today he was injured and might not be a match for Qi Zeyi.
Her eyes rolled, and she drew her sword to stop the man in black from going between the two of them.
Although Xie Yunsong was injured, his martial arts skills were not inferior to Qi Zeyi. The two had similar swordsmanship, perhaps because they both learned from Master Qingyi. But if you look closely, Xie Yunsong had been in the northern border for many years and had experienced life and death on the battlefield. How could he be compared to a pampered prince?
Although Xie Yunsong was injured, Qi Zeyi was still a little overwhelmed. When he was learning martial arts in Zhongnan Mountain, he was also a leader, but for so many years his focus was on the fight for the throne, and his martial arts gradually became neglected. If he fought alone, he was no match for Xie Yunsong.
Qi Zeyi's eyes gradually became fierce. He was no match for the injured Xie Yunsong. Even Bai Zhiyuan's swordsmanship had been improving, but the people he brought were blocked by Bai Zhiyuan and could not get close to him.
There was a cruel light flashing in Qi Zeyi's eyes. He became ruthless and swung his sword in his right hand to fight with Xie Yunsong. His left hand turned in his sleeve, and a short blade was held in his left hand. Taking advantage of the gap in the fight, Qi Zeyi quickly attacked the opponent with the short blade in his hand. Xie Yunsong raised his sword to block, but his right hand was still stabbed by the short blade.
Bai Zhiyuan was startled when she heard the noise. Without time to think, she threw all the mud and sand that she had just secretly held in her palm out. The fine mud and sand flew into the eyes of the man in black.
The men screamed, stopped and covered their eyes, unable to open them.
Bai Zhiyuan took advantage of this opportunity and walked towards Qi Zeyi with sword in hand.
Qi Zeyi was still immersed in the joy of stabbing Xie Yunsong. When he heard the sound and turned around, Bai Zhiyuan was already behind him. Qi Zeyi retreated and took advantage of her approach to grab her arm, making her sword-holding hand unable to move. Then, when he turned around to call for help, Bai Zhiyuan suddenly raised her arm, pulled out a hairpin from his bun, and stabbed him in the throat.
Qi Zeyi felt a pain in his throat, blood flowed out, and his body paused. Bai Zhiyuan immediately freed himself, took over as the host, grabbed Qi Zeyi's throat with one arm, and quickly raised the sword with the other hand, placing the tip of the sword on his neck.
"Don't come over here!" Bai Zhiyuan shouted.
This happened suddenly, the men in black stopped nearby, and no one dared to step forward.
Taking advantage of this gap, Bai Zhiyuan turned her head to look at Xie Yunsong, but she still did not relax her grip. She asked anxiously, "Xie Yunsong, how are you?"
Xie Yunsong pulled off his sleeve, hastily wrapped the wound, and responded: "I'm fine."
Bai Zhiyuan felt relieved and shouted again, "Go get the horses!"
Qi Zeyi gritted his teeth: "Ayuan! Why do you have to go against me? Xie Yunsong can't escape today."
"Stop talking nonsense, Qi Zeyi, and quickly ask your men to bring the horses over. Otherwise, if I use too much force and injure His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, it will not be worth it."
Qi Zeyi's face was twisted with disappointment and anger. He exerted force to try to escape, but Bai Zhiyuan did not hesitate. He pressed down with his sword-holding hand, and blood immediately oozed out from the tip of the sword.
"Your Highness, be careful!" Bai Yu and others were shocked and shouted.
"If the sword in my hand goes down half an inch further, your artery will be where it is. Your Highness Prince Yan, your life is precious. If you die, not to mention anything else, your position will also change." Bai Zhiyuan said calmly.
Qi Zeyi gritted his teeth: "Ah Yuan——"
Bai Zhiyuan: "Quick! Ask your men to bring the horses!"
The sky was gradually getting brighter. If it were daybreak, he would be discovered to have assassinated an important official of the imperial court. Now he had not yet obtained the position he wanted, and the current stalemate would be disadvantageous to him.
Qi Zeyi froze in place, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his eyes flickering. Bai Yu and the others dared not move, fearing that they would anger the Rong'an County Lady. They wanted to find a chance to rescue her, but the general Yun Hui behind them was a veteran of the battlefield, so they had no chance at all.
During the stalemate, Bai Zhiyuan was worried about Xie Yunsong's injury and gradually lost his patience. He said coldly: "Your Highness Prince Yan, please make a decision as soon as possible. Bring the horse!"
As she spoke, she increased the strength in her hands.
Qi Zeyi felt pain, but was still afraid in his heart. After all, he had already sensed the murderous aura from Bai Zhiyuan.
Bai Zhiyuan certainly wanted to kill him with a sword at this moment, but firstly, if she killed him now, it would be difficult for her and Xie Yunsong to escape. Secondly, dying like this would be too easy for him. She wanted to make him lose everything and let him taste the pain she had suffered in her previous life.
Qi Zeyi finally softened his tone and coaxed: "Ayuan, what's so good about Xie Yunsong? Leave him, and I can give you whatever you want. You and I are senior brothers and sisters..."
"Shut up!" Bai Zhiyuan was furious. He thrust his other hand, holding the hairpin, into his arm and shouted angrily, "Go get the horse!"
Qi Zeyi felt pain, but he could only grit his teeth and said helplessly: "Bring the horse!"
Bai Yu did not dare to delay and waved his hand to ask someone to bring a horse.
Seeing this, Xie Yunsong climbed onto the horse. Bai Zhiyuan saw how hard he struggled to get on the horse and knew that Xie Yunsong must be seriously injured at this moment.
She was anxious, but she knew Qi Zeyi's cunningness very well. She held the sword against his neck with one hand, and with the other hand she pulled off his belt and wrapped his arms around him a few times.
Xie Yunsong understood and stretched out his hand to her. Bai Zhiyuan took his hand and jumped onto the horse.
Xie Yunsong immediately whipped the horsewhip, and the horse felt pain and ran wildly.
When Bai Zhiyuan got on the horse, he still held Qi Zeyi's belt tightly. Qi Zeyi was dragged to the ground on the spot. Before he could struggle free, he was dragged several meters away by the horse.
Bai Zhiyuan was extremely fast. His men in black were stunned by this sudden change. After they reacted, they all rushed forward to chase after him.
But it was only a short distance, and Qi Zeyi reacted quickly, steadied his body, rubbed the ground with his back, struggled, took out the short blade on his body, cut his belt, and escaped from danger.
The clothes on his back were worn out, and through the shredded clothes, his flesh was bleeding and burning with pain. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath, in a state of utter disgrace. His men finally caught up with him, panicked and apologized, helped him up, and wanted to check and treat the wound on his back.
With a gloomy face, he pushed away the hand that was extended to him, took the clothes and put them on.
The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and Xie Yunsong and Bai Zhiyuan had long disappeared. Bai Yu finally said, "Your Highness, they have already escaped, and they must be heading back to the capital. But if it's almost dawn today, should we still chase them?"
Qi Zeyi gritted his teeth, stood there for a moment, and looked in the direction where the two of them disappeared. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go! Go back home!"
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately gathered his men and began to deal with the aftermath.
Qi Zeyi had never thought that he had brought more than 30 top-notch experts with him, but he still failed to kill Xie Yunsong. At dawn, he had to rush back to the morning court. Although the emperor's health was getting worse, he was very suspicious and did not give up any of his power, so as to avoid being discovered by someone with ulterior motives. Xie Yunsong thus escaped this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Ayuan!" Qi Zeyi clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger.
