As everyone finished preparing to get on the car, a sudden sound of footsteps came from the forest.

The guards immediately sensed something was wrong upon hearing the sound.

"There are assassins, protect the young master and miss to leave first."

Under the protection of the guards, Gu Xing and Feng Yu wanted to escape, but it was too late.

The dark assassins had quickly surrounded them.

Looking at their numbers, it seemed like a fierce battle tonight.

The assassins didn't say much, they just went straight for Gu Xing and quickly engaged with the guards.

Gu Xing kept trying to break through the encirclement, but he was unsuccessful.

As for me and Feng Yu, we, as women, were hiding behind the carriage, hoping to escape unscathed.

At this moment, the guards were starting to falter, falling one by one.

Even Gu Xing had to fight against these assassins.

Although he was skilled in martial arts, he was not an expert, and soon he was injured and fell to the ground.

One assassin seized the opportunity and aimed his sword at Gu Xing, intending to take his life.

Seeing the chance, I immediately rushed over and stood in front of Gu Xing, shouting in panic, "Don't hurt my husband."

The next moment, the long sword pierced through my shoulder, and blood gushed out from the wound.

The bloodstain spread on my white clothes, a shocking sight to behold.

So clearly, I saw the shock in Gu Xing's eyes.

Perhaps the assassin did not expect someone to intervene, so he pulled out the sword directly, planning to strike Gu Xing again.

Fearing for Gu Xing's safety, I tightly held him, using my own body to shield him from the sword.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time.

A long arrow flew and pierced through the assassin's head.

Before passing out, I weakly smiled at Gu Xing, "Husband... It's okay. Today, Yao protected you..."

After saying that, I fell straight into Gu Xing's arms.
