Chapter 416: Perils Abound
or you. If you answer well, this silver will be yours."The maidservant glanced at the face value of the silver note, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face, "Miss Xiao Er, you just...Xu Hou's martial arts were peerless. In such a chaotic army, with him present, Yingsheng was not in the slightest danger. Moreover, with Qin Luoyan's custom-made pair of gauntlets for him, his advantages were fully displayed. Therefore, in just a few short breaths, he led Yingsheng to kill a path through the crowd, only a few steps away from the courtyard door.
Xiaolong, protecting Qin Luoyan who was unskilled in martial arts, was having a hard time. Although he was agile, two fists could not overcome four hands after all. In a short while, his whole body was covered with multiple knife wounds. But he was also a man of courage. No matter how many cuts he had, he gritted his teeth and remained silent, continuing to use his injured body to block the attacks coming from all directions for Qin Luoyan.
When Xiao Long once again took a solid blow to the back for himself, Qin Luo Yan's heart softened completely. Her throat felt a little sour as she said, "Don't just worry about me, if you really can't help it, take care of yourself first. You're also human, don't have to live for a mission."
Although she didn't understand why the guards were so loyal, she truly didn't want to see another person sacrifice themselves for her, especially since this person held no special significance to her. She was merely his task.
"Miss Qin, unless I die, I will absolutely not let anything happen to you. This is the master's order." Amidst the flying blood, Xiaolong actually pulled at the corner of his mouth and smiled. He fought with the people around him while slowly saying, "But Miss Qin, thank you."
Qin Luoyan didn't understand, but she didn't ask.
Xiao Long didn't wait for her to ask, but continued on his own: "You know, you're the only person in my life who ever made me care about my own safety. Since I can remember, I've been a shadow guard. My mission is to constantly complete one task after another. There are no friends around me, and I don't need friends, so no one has ever told me that when completing a mission, you can also take care of yourself."
When he spoke, there was no self-pity, but rather a kind of bewildered detachment. He didn't seem to think he was pitiful at all. However, his words echoed in Qin Luoyan's heart, causing her heart to twitch involuntarily. What kind of person could be so pitiable that they hadn't experienced love in their entire life
"Be careful!" As a long sword pointed towards Xiao Long's neck, Qin Luo Yan reacted without hesitation and activated the mechanism of her bracelet. A soft needle shot out from the bracelet and pierced the man's brow with force. The man fell to the ground with a thud, and others surged forward relentlessly.
Xiao Long's gaze lingered on her wrist for a moment, "Your hidden weapon is really amazing."
Qin Luoyan nodded. "Don't talk, just fight well!"
Xiao Long replied, turned his head and continued fighting, no longer bothering to talk with her. It was the commander of the palace army standing at the gate who, upon seeing Qin Luo Yan's bracelet, showed interest in his eyes.
As the group neared the courtyard entrance, the leader finally drew his long sword from his waist with a calm expression. He confidently strode forward, coldly declaring, “Your bracelet is quite nice. It would be perfect for my wife to wear as protection! Hand it over, and I might spare your worthless life!”
"Is that true" Qin Luoyan's eyes immediately lit up with joy, she took the bracelet from her hand and held it in her palm, "I give you my bracelet, you let me go."
The general seemed to have not expected Qin Luo'yan to agree so easily. After all, as a general, he lived a life on the edge of a knife. He was quite knowledgeable about weapons, knowing which ones were powerful and valuable. This kind of bracelet would be priceless wherever it was placed.
But then he let it go, “Well, you're all going to die anyway. Giving up the bracelet proactively could save a life. Of course, it’s worth it. Take it then.”
The general allowed Qin Luoyan to take the bracelet, no doubt because after observing her earlier, he had determined that she was not skilled in martial arts and posed no threat to him.
Originally, Qin Luoyan and the others were still worried about how to reach the commander's side as quickly as possible. Unexpectedly, the commander immediately gave them such a great opportunity.
Perhaps before, Xu Hou and Xiaolong would have judged Qin Luoyan like the leader, through her appearance as someone completely harmless. However, after so many days of getting to know her, these two top experts no longer underestimated Qin Luoyan. At least when facing each other as enemies, they would never let Qin Luoyan get within a step of them.
With the general's order, Qin Luo'yan walked forward alone and it seemed much smoother. Even as Qin Luo'yan got closer, a hint of meaningful surprise appeared in the general's eyes.
In the army, they were all powerful men. Though this commander had a wife and children, he, like others in his position, was far more interested in beautiful women than other men. Especially since, in their eyes, Qin Luo Yan and the others were practically prisoners. Using captives as one pleases was their favorite way to treat them.
Five steps, four steps, three steps...
Qin Luoyan walked closer and closer, the smile on the leader's lips grew more and more intense. When Qin Luoyan was just one step away from him, he stretched out his left hand and pulled Qin Luoyan into his arms, "Beauty, that bracelet and you... this general, I want them all!"
Qin Luo'yan fell into the commander's embrace, her face without a trace of panic. It seemed she had expected this scene long ago. She not only wasn't angry but even showed a joyful expression. "Oh Does that mean the general won't kill me"
"Of course, a beauty like you shouldn't just be killed like this" This kind of woman should be toyed with until the very end! The leader thought to himself, his hand moving uncharacteristically to press against Qin Luoyan's waist.
When victory is in hand, it's easiest to become complacent. The commander was no different; he believed that if he couldn't even face a woman, he was truly a coward on the battlefield.
"But the general didn't kill me, I want to kill you!" Qin Luoyan said, her right hand already gripping that most primitive gun, the muzzle pointed at the leader's chest.
"Just because..."
Before the leader could finish saying "you," a deafening roar echoed, leaving Qin Luoyan's tiger's mouth numb and a stream of blood splattering across her face.
The chieftain's chest bore a gaping bloody wound. Blood flowed freely, stark against his expression of disbelief.
Qin Luo'yan wasn't a sharpshooter, so to ensure complete success, she had to engage in close combat. Luckily, she achieved it.
When the leader fell, the surrounding soldiers immediately rushed towards Qin Luo Yan. At this moment, she was without Xiao Long's protection and immediately found herself in a perilous situation.
