!!
On the other side of the city wall, there were cries for help everywhere. Where Ming Yu was, there was only the sizzling sound of the furnace. The dozen or so black-clothed men did not answer Ming Yu's question. They only pointed their swords at her. "Kill her."
"Did you guys cause the furnace to explode?" Ming Yu continued to ask.
The man in black had already rushed forward.
The moment Secret Guard Huang Chong exchanged blows with the black-clothed man, he was greatly alarmed. These people's martial arts were actually so powerful!
"Protect the princess and leave!" Huang Chong shouted.
These black-clothed men had come prepared. They were clearly targeting the Princess. The explosion of the metal cauldron had harmed the innocent citizens in order to lure Young Master Mingxi and the others away!
How could the man in black let Ming Yu go? He immediately blocked Ming Yu's path.
Ming Yu was protected. She watched helplessly as two of the secret guards were killed. Was she going to die here today? Ming Xi and those soldiers had gone to save people, so they did not notice the situation here.
"Princess, be careful!" Huang Chong, who was surrounded, shouted in alarm. He saw a black-clothed man thrusting a sword at Ming Yu from behind.
Clang —
An iron rod blocked the black-clothed man's sword and pushed Ming Yu away.
"Who are you?" The man in black asked in a deep voice.
The young man holding the iron rod remained silent as he struck the man in black with his rod.
"Bright Jade!" On the way to the clinic, Ming Xi's heart suddenly jumped. "Fire Phoenix, I'm going back to find Bright Jade."
He and Ming Yu were twins of a dragon and a phoenix, so they could sense each other.
Before Fire Phoenix could ask what was going on, she only saw Ming Xi's back disappear into the night.
"Where did Ming Xi go?" Shang'er didn't see Ming Xi and ran over to ask Fire Phoenix.
"He went back and called out Ming Yu's name before leaving." Fire Phoenix said. "Did something happen to Ming Yu?"
Shang'er frowned and thought for a moment, "Let's send everyone to the clinic first, then we'll go find Mingxi and the others."
"Alright," Fire Phoenix replied.
Ming Xi used his fastest speed to reach the bottom of the city wall. When he looked up, he could no longer see Ming Yu's figure. He flew to the top of the city wall to search, but he still couldn't see anyone. Even the hidden guards were gone.
Where did it go?
He turned around, and his eyes just happened to see the spot where he had hit Shu Hua. A black-clothed man was stabbing Ming Yu from behind with a long sword.
"Ming Yu …" Ming Xi shouted and quickly flew in that direction.
However, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the sword that was already close to Ming Yu's back. His heart was filled with shock and fury, and he naturally understood that everything that happened tonight was because of Ming Yu.
A metal rod appeared in Ming Xi's line of sight.
Mingyu had been saved.
The one holding the iron rod was a young man. His martial arts were very exquisite, and the black-clothed men were beaten back by him, unable to get close to Ming Yu.
Ming Xi recognized who that youth was.
"Capture him alive!" Ming Yu was protected by two secret guards and was already safe. She looked at the man in black calmly and asked Huang Chong to capture him alive.
"Mingyu, are you alright?" Ming Xi came to Ming Yu's side and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was not injured, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"Big Brother?" Mingxi was astonished.
Ming Xi held her wrist. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I'm not afraid." Ming Xi smiled at him. Someone wanted her dead, so she couldn't be afraid. No matter who it was, she had to find them. Even if it wasn't for herself, she had to do it for the commoners who had been burned by the iron flowers tonight.
"Wait for me." Ming Xi said and turned to join the fight.
The dozen or so black-clothed men saw Ming Xi return and realized that his martial arts were unfathomable. They were not his match at all. "Retreat!"
"Want to leave?" Ming Xi snorted coldly and grabbed the black-clothed man who seemed to be the leader. "Who sent you?"
The black-clothed man stared at Ming Xi with wide eyes. His neck was grabbed, but his hands couldn't move. He couldn't even use his internal energy.
The metal rod youth also caught two black-clothed men. Of the twelve black-clothed men, four were killed, three were captured, and the rest escaped.
"Bring them back to the secret guard station first." Ming Xi knocked the three unconscious. "Don't let them commit suicide."
"Yes, young master Ming Xi." Huang Chong replied.
After taking the three black-clothed men away, Ming Xi walked towards the youth who was holding the iron rod and preparing to leave.
"Guan Jie!" Ming Xi called out to the youth and walked in front of him. "We meet again."
This youth was the person he had seen during the day. It really was him.
"You are?" Guan Jie looked at Ming Xi suspiciously, as if he couldn't remember where or when he had seen him.
"Cang Hai City. We met once." Ming Xi saw that he was still as dumb as before and reminded him with a smile.
Guan Jie stared at Ming Xi for a moment and finally remembered who he was. "So it's you."
He looked behind Ming Xi but didn't see anyone else.
"Yes, thank you for saving my sister." He had seen it with his own eyes. If Guan Jie hadn't appeared in time, Ming Yu would definitely have been injured.
"Those people were sneaky and looked very annoying." Guan Jie said in a low voice. He was still as inarticulate as before, as if he only saved people because he liked it.
Ming Yu walked over. "Brother, you know him?"
"He's called Guan Jie. I met him in Cang Hai City." Ming Xi explained to Ming Yu. "Thank you for saving you tonight."
"Thank you for your help. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here peacefully." Ming Yu bowed to Guan Jie, sincerely grateful.
Guan Jie waved his hand and retreated, looking at Ming Yu in a daze.
At this time, the city guards had already arrived. The originally chaotic crowd was also evacuated and the injured were all sent to the clinic.
"You're injured!" Ming Yu looked at Guan Jie's arm and found that there were bloodstains on his sleeve.
"It's just a small injury." Guan Jie said in a low voice, his other hand covering the wound.
Ming Xi thought of how he hadn't felt anything when his body was a bloody mess. "I'm going to the clinic. Come with me."
Guan Jie looked at Ming Xi in confusion, somewhat hesitant.
"Do you have a place to stay in the capital?" Ming Xi asked.
"I … do. I forgot the way." Guan Jie said in a low voice.
Ming Xi laughed lightly. "Then when the sun rises, I'll take you there. Come with me to the clinic first."
"Yes. So many people are injured. I also want to go to the clinic." Ming Yu said.
"Okay." Ming Xi had originally wanted to let Ming Yu return to the palace first, but when he thought of the black-clothed men, he was afraid that no one would be able to protect Ming Yu. It would be better to bring her with him.
Guan Jie looked at Ming Xi in a daze. After thinking hard, he still listened to Ming Xi's arrangements.
When they arrived at the clinic, before even entering the door, they could hear miserable cries coming from within.
"There are many people injured tonight. Some of them can't be saved." Ming Xi said in a low voice.
"Just who was it that dared to do such a thing?" Ming Yu shouted angrily. Just who had she offended that wanted her dead so badly!
