Chapter 364: Scuffle

Recently, the government has indeed issued a notice saying that a group of Huaihai people have mixed into the territory of the Yong Dynasty, and there are quite a few of them, reminding the public to pay attention to safety.

What she didn't understand, why did the pirates of Huaihai appear inland, and ambush the prince and princess?

Because Shen Lanying and Jiang Xu were talking, the others were walking behind, so when the pirates appeared, Tong Yu and Xue Li easily fled.

What made Shen Lanying very happy was that when these two maids fled for their lives, they didn't forget to bring Xiao Rongyue with them. If something happens to Xiao Rongyue, Shen Lanying will really have no face to see the Rong family.

Only Xiaotong, a silly girl, gave up the chance to escape, ran towards Shen Lanying, and fell into the encirclement of pirates with the three of them.

Shen Lanying was so moved that she held Xiao Tong's hand tightly. But she knew very well in her heart that Gu Yao had one more person they needed to protect, and the danger factor would only be higher.

Jiang Xu's force value is undoubtedly the strongest, but I don't know if it was because he had just fought with someone else at the martial arts conference and his physical strength was excessive, so he didn't show his strength at all.

Carefully observing Jiang Xu's battle situation, Shen Lanying found that Jiang Xu almost did not take the initiative to attack, and was all passive defense. It's the kind of rhythm that doesn't seek merit but seeks no fault.

But when beaten by the crowd, this style of fighting is the most fatal.

Shen Lanying didn't think that the five princes were physically exerting too much, in her opinion, the reason why Jiang Xu would do this was because for the future emperor, it was important to protect himself, and as for the life or death of others, he didn't think about it at all.

He can slip away at any time, but considering that if he slips away alone, but Shen Lanying dies here, then it seems to the outside world that the fifth prince left the imperial sister at a critical moment and fled for his life alone. This is extremely detrimental to his reputation among the people.

Therefore, if the situation is not enough to threaten Jiang Xu, he will stay here, and once the situation is critical, he will use light skills to evacuate the main battlefield at any time.

At this time, Gu Yao's situation was not good, and it was extremely difficult for him to protect Shen Lanying and Xiaotong behind him. As a professional killer, Gu Yao is good at assassination, and when he has to go head-to-head with a large group of pirates, he can't give full play to his advantages at all.

Luo Xingyan sent a message asking for help from the treetops, but in a few seconds, Jiang Xu and Gu Yao did not cause any attrition to the pirates, but the pirates hiding in the distance gradually gathered and gradually narrowed the encirclement.

Shen Lanying knew very well that in this situation of being outnumbered, if she only waited for others to protect her, the result would be 100% to receive a gorgeous bento. So when she got up from the ground, she reached to her waist, but when her fingers touched the cold metal, she hesitated.

It's not the first time she's used a gun, but it's the first time she's going to kill someone with a gun......

After sending out the distress signal, Luo Xingyan jumped directly from the tree, kicked down a pirate with the momentum of the fall, and aimed his knee at his chest. When he landed, the momentum of the fall was all applied to the pirate's heart, and the pirate didn't even have time to struggle, so he spurted out a mouthful of blood from the sky, and he didn't see it alive.

A pirate was sneaking up from behind Luo Xingyan, and Luo Xingyan snatched the knife from the corpse's hand, flicked up, and flipped his wrist, the blade had already grazed the pirate's throat. After that, he leaped up without pause, dodging the scimitar stabbed behind him, and returned another blow, sending another pirate to the western sky.

The pirates finally suffered casualties, and almost instantly.

It's not that Luo Xingyan's martial arts are stronger than Jiang Xu and Gu Yao, but their cultivation routes in the past are different, Jiang Xu takes the competitive route, Gu Yao is good at assassination, only Luo Xingyan is used to harvesting life on the battlefield.

At this time, about half a minute had passed since the pirate group appeared. There was no crisis around Shen Lanying, mainly because at the beginning, the pirates didn't attack much, but only tightened the encirclement, and then Luo Xingyan fell from the sky and caught them off guard.

Shen Lanying pulled Xiao Tong with one hand and hid herself behind Gu Yao as much as possible.

In the distance, people dressed as pirates were still running towards here. Gu Yao and Jiang Xu's subordinates finally suffered casualties.

Shen Lanying looked at the gradually expanding blood red in front of her, and for a moment felt that maybe she didn't need to use a gun, and these three people with explosive force could hold out until the defenders arrived.

But in the next second, she realized that her idea was too naïve.

The pirates discovered that Luo Xingyan was a head harvester, and one of them shouted an incomprehensible bird language, and the pirates instantly changed their formation, and the previous large encirclement became one large and one small. There were six or seven people surrounding Luo Xingyan, completely blocking the path between her and the princess.

The pirate leader actually wanted to sacrifice those six or seven people in exchange for successfully killing Princess Zhaoying and the five princes.

Shen Lanying suddenly felt that according to the desperate rhythm of these pirates, these people might not have thought of going back alive at all

The situation on Luo Xingyan's side immediately became critical, and in a hurry, she chose to hold a knife in her right hand, using a completely desperate fighting style. But a few months ago, she had just been hit by a poisoned arrow in her right shoulder. After killing a few pirates, the wound on her right shoulder recurred, and she was surrounded by the other party again, and soon the pirate's knife left several cuts on her. Her blood was mixed with the blood of her enemies, and her clothes were stained red.

In this case, Luo Xingyan was still calm and scary, picked up a knife from the corpse on the ground, held the knife in both hands, and prepared to forcibly break through.

At this time, a muffled sound sounded, and the enemy in front of Luo Xingyan suddenly froze in his movements, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

Before everyone could react to what was happening, a second muffled sound followed, and the enemy in front of Luo Xingyan fell to the ground again.

Everyone looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw Princess Zhaoying, who should have been terrified, holding a small metal device in her hand, aiming her dark gun at the pirate's head, and pulling the trigger again. The third pirate was killed.

Shen Lanying resisted shooting at first, because she was afraid of killing, but when she saw Luo Xingyan injured, she suddenly woke up, the pirates on the opposite side were endless, and she was already at a disadvantage, if she had a hot weapon in her hand and didn't need to come out, she could only watch her friends around her get injured.

The three pirates killed by Shen Lanying were all surrounded by Luo Xingyan.

And when the gun rang out, the only person who didn't turn his head to look was Luo Xingyan, when the enemy was distracted, she wiped the necks of the three pirates cleanly, and the efficiency of destroying the enemy was not lost to Shen Lanying who used the gun.
