They still had to take care of Empress Dowager Minde and could not be lured over together, so Jiang Yue offered to go alone.

Moreover, why was that person suddenly there? They had only heard the commotion when he took the initiative to expose himself and thus discovered that a person was standing in the gra.s.s. This person’s skill was much higher than theirs; he was so quiet. If he did not take the initiative to expose himself, they would not have noticed. Or perhaps the other party was not very skilled, but he knew that they would follow the blessing team and understood them well. He knew that one of them had good hearing, so he deliberately moved more quietly. That was why they did not notice it until the other party revealed his head… Regardless of whether it was the first or the second, it would be very dangerous for Xue Yan to go over.

She had the s.p.a.ce, so she was not afraid of any danger.

Xue Yan understood what Jiang Yue was thinking and didn’t stop her.

Although he was not as magical as Jiang Yue, he still wanted to protect Jiang Yue.

He didn’t want Jiang Yue to take the risk alone and to charge into battle.

However, it was obvious that Jiang Yue was not someone who would stay behind the lines. From the first time he saw her, he knew she was a brave soul.

Therefore, he had never hoped that Jiang Yue would be able to stay behind him one day. He only hoped that one day, he and Jiang Yue would be able to fight side by side. They could fight side by side in everything, unlike now, when Jiang Yue was protecting him and she had to take the risk to ensure his life stays in one piece.

Xue Yan watched as Jiang Yue left. He truly felt that he was not strong enough to be worthy of her.

However, he did not know how to work hard.

After all, superpowers were not something that could be obtained through hard work.

Huo Wenqing saw her coming over. As the deputy commander of Jiang Yue, he knew better than anyone else what she was capable of. Naturally, he did not dare to wait for her to get close to him. Otherwise, before he could lure her away, she would have already caught him. Therefore, when she came a certain distance away, he quickly turned around and left.

Jiang Yue quickly chased after him.

During the chase, there was no longer any gra.s.s to cover him, so when she looked at the figure; it looked a little familiar. She frowned imperceptibly but did not say anything and continued to chase after the masked man.

Shao Shuting, who was lying in ambush, estimated that Huo Wenqing should have lured Jiang Yue away by now, so he rushed out with Fu Xu’s men and headed straight for Empress Dowager Minde.

Although Fu Xu’s men did not see the Da Ling Emperor, Shao Shuting had told them during the ambush that the Da Ling Emperor was following them from behind, and Empress Dowager Minde was a burden. It just so happened that they wanted to capture Empress Dowager Minde as well, so they naturally headed straight for the weak spot of Empress Dowager Minde in the praying team.

He had also seen Empress Dowager Minde sitting in the carriage with her own eyes. How could Fu Ying throw her mother out as bait? This was a great opportunity to capture Empress Dowager Minde. Otherwise, Fu Xu’s men would not have been so obedient as to rush out with Shao Shuting.

As Shao Shuting and Fu Xu’s men charged out from both sides, the praying team immediately fell into chaos.

“Protect the Empress Dowager!”

“Protect the Empress Dowager!”

Empress Dowager Minde was sitting in the s.p.a.cious carriage and was about to have lunch. Who knew that there would be an a.s.sa.s.sin? She had always been afraid of death. She was so scared that she immediately trembled. She quickly twirled her prayer beads and chanted, “Dear G.o.d, please bless me. Dear G.o.d, please bless me.”

The moment Xue Yan saw the a.s.sa.s.sin, he knew that it was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain just now. Fortunately, both of them saw that the other party was deliberately luring them over. Presumably, even if Jiang Yue chased far away, he would also know in his heart that she would be fine.
