He didn’t need to worry about Jiang Yue, and only hurriedly drew his sword and flew out from the thicket, joining the people protecting Empress Dowager Minde.

Because Fu Ying had sent enough people to protect Empress Dowager Minde, Fu Xu’s men were unable to suppress Empress Dowager Minde. Only Shao Shuting’s skills were skilled enough. With a few leaps, he arrived at Empress Dowager Minde’s carriage. His hand reached inside, wanting to pull Empress Dowager Minde out.

Empress Dowager Minde almost peed her pants seeing an arm enter.

It was also at this moment that a sword flew over. If he did not retract his hand, he would have lost an arm. Therefore, Shao Shuting, who had almost touched Empress Dowager Minde, subconsciously retracted his hand to protect himself first.

It was also at this time that Xue Yan came over, drew the sword that didn’t pierce through Shao Shuting’s wrist but was ruthlessly nailed to the carriage, and then started fighting with Shao Shuting.

The person who almost pierced his arm was Xue Yan.

It was also Xue Yan who saved Empress Dowager Minde from death.

The two of them fought from the carriage to the roof.

Empress Dowager Minde felt the carriage shake violently. How could she withstand the pressure? Her old face had long turned pale and she could not speak. She got off the carriage and wanted to run away by herself.

Originally, she was protected in the middle and was also the safest. If she ran, wouldn’t she be courting death? Even if she didn’t die, she would be sent to be captured.

The people protecting her were even more confused. They didn’t know how to protect their Empress Dowager.

She was indeed a burden.

Fu Xu’s men seemed to be encouraged and became even more energetic at the chance of winning.

Even though he had only exchanged a dozen moves with the masked man in front of him, Xue Yan already knew that the person in front of him was not his match at all. With just a few more moves, he would be able to take down the person in front of him. But who knew that Empress Dowager Minde would not stay in one place properly and would run away? Seeing that there were other masked men about to capture Empress Dowager Minde, Xue Yan could only give up on the person in front of him and get down from the roof of the car to save Empress Dowager Minde.

Shao Shuting had expected that Empress Dowager Minde would be a burden. Xue Yan alone might not be his match, but Xue Yan being forced to take care of Empress Dowager Minde was more manageable. Moreover, he had so many Fu Xu’s men on his side. At this moment, they were all focused on attacking Empress Dowager Minde as a weak point. He felt that as long as Huo Wenqing’s side was successful, victory should be in front of him.

Therefore, once Xue Yan stopped fighting with him, he also got off the roof of the car and pretended to go catch Empress Dowager Minde.

Xue Yan first killed the black-clothed man closest to Empress Dowager Minde with a sword. Seeing that he was protecting her, Empress Dowager Minde quickly hid behind Xue Yan, but seeing the black-clothed man attack Xue Yan, she was so frightened that she hurriedly turned around and ran, sending herself into even greater danger.

Xue Yan rarely got angry, but seeing Empress Dowager Minde like this enraged him. She couldn’t help but was still adding to the mess. His face sank, which was rare, and as he rushed to Empress Dowager Minde’s side to protect her, he raised his hand and used the hilt of his sword to knock Empress Dowager Minde unconscious.

“How dare you!” someone shouted.

But when Xue Yan looked over, it made this person shudder. The other man’s voice immediately hushed, and he hurriedly turned around to continue killing the enemy.

Xue Yan pushed Empress Dowager Minde to the two palace maids who were running around with Empress Dowager Minde and said, “Stand here and don’t move.”

“Yes. Yes.” The two palace maids trembled and nodded.

They also realized that the scene became even more chaotic and dangerous after their Empress Dowager ran around. It was better to stand still and stay in one place.
