After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Chapter 138 Fight

Yan Qingwan was standing inside the gate, and when he saw this situation, he felt a little relieved.

After all, the other side had a large number of people, and there were only four or five guards on his side who could stay to protect himself.

Dozens of other guards had already rushed forward and engaged in close combat with the enemies outside the door.

As time went on, more and more people fell to the ground, and the entire courtyard was dyed red with blood.

Yan Qingwan stood in the middle of the yard, with a strong smell of blood in the air.

The shouts and screams outside the door were intertwined and made people feel creepy.

However, Yan Qingwan's expression remained calm, as if these killings had nothing to do with her.

She was observing everything around her quietly, her heartbeat quickening and beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

But she did not show any fear or panic, instead she seemed extremely calm.

After a while, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly looked at a familiar-looking guard beside her and asked, "Can you use a bow and arrow?"

Upon hearing this, the guard nodded hurriedly and replied in a low voice: "Madam, I will be there."

When Yan Qingwan heard this, he leaned slightly to the side and whispered a few words in his ear.

The guard was a little embarrassed at first, but he quickly recovered, nodded seriously, and turned away.

After a while, he came back with a bow and a dozen arrows.

Then he stood behind a guard and glanced at the crowd outside.

The leader outside saw that more and more people on his side were falling and knew that the situation was not good.

He found a relatively safe position, stood still, and glanced at Yan Qingwan inside the gate.

Then he coughed, glanced at the people around him, and prepared to shout, asking everyone to light the firewood they brought and rush in.

As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, he took a step back and groaned.

Then, his eyes slowly dropped in disbelief, falling on the rain of arrows in front of his chest.

He seemed to be unable to believe that he was hit by an arrow even though he was hiding well.

Then he raised his head and looked at Yan Qingwan inside the gate.

She looked at him with a cold face, and that look seemed to be able to freeze people to death.

He pointed at Yan Qingwan and wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he could only utter one word: "You..."

Then, his body began to shake, and finally with a bang, he fell straight backwards and landed heavily on the ground.

When the people around saw the leader fall down, they immediately panicked.

They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, and their movements slowed down involuntarily.

Everyone looked at each other, as if waiting for someone to make a decision.

The guards on Yan Qingwan's side took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack. They brandished sharp swords and slashed at the opponent mercilessly.

Every knife strike carries a fierce murderous intent, and every sword is aimed at the enemy's vital points.

The other side became even more panicked when they saw this scene, and their morale, which was already shaken, collapsed in an instant.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "Don't panic! Charge in with torches. If you can catch Madam Shi, the people above will reward you with a thousand taels of silver!"

This sentence was like a ray of light in the darkness, boosting the morale of those who had originally considered retreating.

They raised their weapons one after another, their eyes flashing with greed, and shouted, "Charge!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed to the gate like a group of hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

Yan Qingwan's face changed. She never expected that such a change would occur at this critical moment.

She gritted her teeth secretly, feeling very angry.

The guard next to her who had just shot the arrows saw the scene in front of him, looked at Yan Qingwan solemnly, and said in a worried tone: "Crown Princess, the situation is not optimistic, we should evacuate as soon as possible."

There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in his voice.

Yan Qingwan thought of Qi'an in the backyard, and wondered if Shi Yu and the others had taken him away safely through the back door.

The situation was urgent just now, and she only left five guards to protect them.

Retracting her thoughts, she shook her head with a firm look in her eyes, "No, we can't retreat." At this moment, a bold plan emerged in her mind.

"Concentrate your firepower and stop them from getting close!" Yan Qingwan gave the order decisively. "Another group of people, take up bows and arrows and attack from a distance."

The guards responded one after another. They surrounded the door tightly, and the people in front formed a solid line of defense.

The people behind quickly drew their bows and shot arrows, and the situation was gradually under control.

However, the number of enemies was too large, and the guards who were standing in a circle in front gradually felt overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Yan Qingwan hurriedly shouted, "Archers, switch formations with the people in front and conserve your strength."

Upon hearing this, the guards quickly changed their formation, and the archers stood in the front and continued shooting.

Yan Qingwan also quickly picked up a bow and arrow from the ground and joined the fierce battle.

She pulled the bowstring to its full extent, aimed at the enemy in front of her, and shot an arrow accurately through the throat of an enemy. The enemy screamed and fell to the ground, blood splattered everywhere, causing panic among the surrounding enemies.

Seeing Yan Qingwan being so brave and fearless, the morale of the other guards was instantly boosted and their combat effectiveness was significantly improved.

Yan Qingwan drew his bow and shot again, shooting several arrows in succession. Each arrow accurately hit the enemy's vital parts, demonstrating amazing archery skills.

At this moment, she was secretly glad in her heart. Ever since she came to Jiangning, she had been consciously asking Si Jinchen to teach her archery, and now it seemed that she had finally made some progress.

The blazing flames illuminated her firm and resolute face, emitting endless majesty and dominance.

Seeing how brave Yan Qingwan was, the enemies couldn't help but feel frightened. They stopped and dared not move forward, stunned by her powerful aura.

However, as time went on, the war gradually fell into a stalemate.

Although Yan Qingwan and his guards fought bravely, the enemies were numerous and kept coming, and neither side could easily gain the upper hand.

Yan Qingwan and the guards did not relax because they knew that this was only a short period of calm and they would face more severe challenges in the future.

Meanwhile, on the other end.

After Si Jinchen led everyone out of the mansion early in the morning, he immediately took action.

He divided the team into two groups, one team went to Su Mansion, and the other team went directly to Magistrate Wang's home.

Si Jinchen led the team straight to the Wang family.

However, when he and his men rushed into the mansion, the Wang family had already been deserted, with only some unaware maids and servants left.

Not long after, the people who went to the Su family came back to report that all the masters of the Su family were missing.

Si Jinchen was standing in the middle of the yard. When he heard this, his eyebrows were tinged with coldness. He said in a deep voice: "Search, the Wang family and the Su family may have a secret passage. Send someone with relevant experience to check immediately."

Upon hearing this, the guard hurriedly nodded his head in agreement.
