Chapter 52: Surprise Attack (3)
“Are those people targeting me?”
For some reason, Yin Yin had this feeling when she was attacked during the day, otherwise the assassins would not have appeared around the carriage she was riding in. Although their targets were not obvious, Yin Yin had this feeling, so she felt guilty for the soldiers who died to protect her.
"No, it's obvious that they are coming for me, how could it be you?"
After Yin Yin had just finished speaking, Zhou Yan spoke calmly and without any hesitation to answer Yin Yin's doubts. In this way, he shouldered everything. After hearing his words, Yin Yin slowly raised her head and stared at Zhou Yan with a suspicious look ...
"Are you doubting me?"
Knowing that Yin Yin was suspicious, Zhou Yan went further to comfort her. In fact, he also had some doubts about the targets of the assassins, but for Yin Yin's sake, he could only deceive and conceal the truth, because Zhou Yan believed that Yin Yin should not know about this matter. If she knew, it would just cause one more person to worry. Besides, there was no need for Yin Yin to worry about this matter.
In the face of Zhou Yan's questions, Yin Yin remained silent. She didn't know how to answer. Her intuition told her that Zhou Yan was hiding something from her. Even though she knew that Zhou Yan was hiding it for her own good, Yin Yin still felt sad.
"I am a prince, and there are countless people who want to kill me. I am used to this kind of thing. This is just one of them. Even if you are not here, they will still assassinate me."
Zhou Yan’s words made Yin Yin suddenly stunned. They sounded so familiar. It seemed like she had heard similar words somewhere before.
"ah!!"
"Yin Yin? What's wrong?"
Just when she felt what Zhou Yan said, a sharp pain spread in Yin Yin's brain, making it difficult for her to control it even if she held her head. Her painful look made Zhou Yan immediately worried. A flash of thought passed through her mind, and Zhou Yan's words seemed to make Yin Yin feel , but when she tried to recall it, she felt a sharp pain in her brain. This pain seemed to be telling her not to remember it?
"Yin Yin!!!"
Zhou Yan called out anxiously. He didn't know what had happened to Yin Yin, he only knew that Yin Yin seemed to be very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Yinyin felt a gentle kiss on her lips, and this kiss made her calm down instantly...
"Yin Yin, Yin Yin?"
Yin Yin heard Zhou Yan's urgent call and felt confused. What on earth had just happened?
"Yin Yin? Did you hear me?"
Following Zhou Yan's words, Yin Yin looked at him in astonishment...
"Yan?"
Yinyin's attitude surprised Zhou Yan. Yinyin, who had just looked in great pain, now looked calm and bewildered? This change was too big. In order to confirm his doubts, Zhou Yan calmed down his emotions and looked at Yinyin cautiously...
"Are you okay?"
"Me? What's going to happen to me?"
In response to Zhou Yan's greeting, Yin Yin asked back a question that made no sense. Zhou Yan was speechless again. What was going on?
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Looking at Zhou Yan's surprised expression, Yin Yin was puzzled.
"No, nothing."
Although Zhou Yan felt somewhat relieved, he concealed it in order not to worry Yin Yin.
"Your Majesty!"
Zuo Yu's voice came from outside the tent.
"What's up?"
For Zhou Yan, Zuo Yu's arrival made him feel a little relieved and he could take the opportunity to divert Yin Yin's attention.
"I have an urgent matter to report."
Zuo Yu's words immediately changed the atmosphere for Zhou Yan, as if he knew what Zuo Yu was going to say?
"Yin Yin, you should go to bed early. We have to travel tomorrow. I'm leaving first."
"Oh, yeah."
Since it was an important matter, Yin Yin did not ask about it. Before leaving, Zhou Yan looked at Yin Yin for a while, and when he stood up, he kissed Yin Yin lightly on the right cheek, then turned around and strode away. Before Yin Yin could react, Zhou Yan had already left the tent. Yin Yin stared at him blankly as he left, and then slowly touched the cheek that had just been kissed. Yin Yin was a little dazed.
A place outside the tent, away from the crowd.
"Have you caught up yet?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
Zhou Yan was deep in thought. The assassin during the day had always bothered him, and now there were pursuers. Zhou Yan was not afraid of anyone, but if there had been no assassin during the day, he would have executed the previous plan without hesitation. The appearance of the assassin forced Zhou Yan to handle it carefully. There were so many things going on recently that Zhou Yan almost forgot about the assassin. No matter who the assassin's target was during the day, Zhou Yan knew that he and Yin Yin were very likely to be the target. If the assassin clashed with Shan Zhen, would those villains in the dark take the opportunity to reap the benefits? If he was not careful, he would be attacked from both sides, and the situation would no longer be under his control.
"Do you know how many people there are?"
"About two hundred."
If the other side only had 200 people, Zhou Yan would have an absolute advantage, but the other side was led by Shan Zhen, so of course he couldn't be careless. Shan Zhen was okay, so Zhou Yan had a chance of winning. Unfortunately, the current situation was a little unusual, and he couldn't allow any mistakes, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
"It seems that it is quite difficult to contain them without taking any action."
"So what should we do?"
"If I were to meet him in person, he would definitely find a way to restrain me, right?"
"I'm afraid so."
Zhou Yan and Zuo Yu were discussing what they were about to face.
