Huanzhu Time Travel: Yan Luo's Unbreakable Love in the Yong Dynasty

Chapter 130 Breaking the Crisis

Looking at the dust rising in the distance, Xiao Yanzi anxiously said to Hongli, "Your Highness, judging from the sound of hooves, there are probably quite a few people coming! We just went through a fierce battle, how are we going to deal with this!"

Hongli clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming, and shouted, "My beloved consort, do not be afraid! We will meet force with force and water with water. We cannot let them intimidate us!"

Hongzhou stood up, still somewhat weak, but said defiantly, "Fourth Brother is right, I can still fight. We absolutely cannot let them succeed!"

Consort Fucha looked at everyone with concern and said, "Your Highness, the enemy has a large and powerful force. We need to come up with a comprehensive plan. We can't just fight head-on."

Hongli nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said, "What the princess says makes sense. Let's find a favorable position first, so we can hold out for a while."

The group looked around and found a small hill not far away, with fairly lush trees on it, which would be good for concealment and defense.

Little Swallow's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Your Highness, that hillside over there looks nice, let's go there quickly!"

So everyone hurriedly ran up the hillside. Just as they reached the top and prepared for defense, the group of men arrived at the bottom of the hill.

The newcomers were all dressed in tight-fitting clothes, with unfriendly expressions. The leader was a burly man with a fierce face, holding a long knife and exuding a menacing aura.

The burly man shouted at the top of his lungs, "Prince Bao, you have no way to escape today! Surrender obediently, and you'll suffer less!"

Hongli roared, "Hmph! You bunch of lackeys, aiding and abetting evil, I will surely capture you all!"

Little Swallow shouted back, "Don't even think about it! Come and try if you dare!"

The burly man sneered, "You won't listen to reason, so get on him!"

After saying that, the group rushed up the hillside in a swarm.

Hongli drew his sword and rushed forward, shouting, "My beloved consort, you and the Fujin protect Prince He, I'll hold them off first!"

Little Swallow replied, "Your Highness, be careful!"

Fucha's primary consort also exclaimed, "Your Highness, please be careful in everything you do!"

Hongzhou anxiously said from behind, "Fourth Brother, I can help too, don't treat me as a burden!"

While keeping an eye on the battle situation on Hongli's side, Xiaoyanzi said to Hongzhou, "Prince He, you are still weak. Rest well and wait until you have regained some strength before we talk."

Hongzhou sighed helplessly: "Alas, I really feel terrible. Watching my fourth brother fight alone, I can't help him much."

Consort Fucha comforted him, "Prince He, don't worry, it's not too late to make your move when you have another chance."

Looking down at the enemy below, Xiao Yanzi suddenly had a brilliant idea. She said to her primary consort, Fucha, "Sister, we can use the terrain of this hillside to push some stones down and temporarily stop their attack."

Consort Fucha's eyes lit up: "Oh, Little Swallow, this is a great idea! Let's try it right away."

The two then began to work together to push the rocks on the slope, rolling them toward the oncoming enemy.

"Hey, get out of the way!" The enemy was thrown into disarray by the sudden falling rocks, and their attacks slowed down as men and horses stumbled.

Seeing this, Hongli seized the opportunity to repel several more approaching enemies and exclaimed, "My beloved consort, what a brilliant plan!"

Little Swallow replied with a smile, "Your Highness, it's good that it works!"

But the burly man was unwilling to give up and shouted, "Hold on, keep charging! They won't last long!"

The enemy reorganized their offensive and continued to charge up the hillside.

At this moment, Hongzhou felt that he had regained some strength, stood up and said, "Little Swallow, Madam, I can help now, let's fight them off together!"

Little Swallow said happily, "Prince He, you can do it! That's great! Let's go together!"

The three of them joined the battle and fought alongside Hongli.

Little Swallow was agile, and while fighting, she shouted, "You bad guys, see how I deal with you!"

Hongzhou also shouted, "You dare to provoke us? You've really asked for trouble!"

Although the primary consort of the Fucha clan was slightly weaker, she did not back down and said, "We must not lose to them!"

Seeing everyone working together, Hongli was deeply moved. His swordsmanship became even more ferocious, causing the enemy to retreat in defeat.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the big man shouted, "Retreat! Retreat first, then we'll think of something else!"

The enemy retreated like a tide, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Swallow patted her chest and said, "Oh dear, we've managed to drive them back for now, but they certainly won't give up so easily."

Hongzhou nodded and said, "Yes, we need to find a way to continue our journey back to the palace as soon as possible, we can't delay any longer."

Seeing that everyone had some injuries, Lady Fucha, the primary consort, said, "Your Highness, let's bandage our wounds first so we can regain some strength before we continue."

Hongli replied, "Yes, the Princess Consort is right. Everyone should treat the wounds first."

After treating their wounds, everyone prepared to continue their journey.

But they hadn't gone far when they came across a turbulent river. The water looked deep and the current was very strong.

Little Swallow frowned and said, "Your Highness, this river doesn't look easy to cross. We don't have a boat, what should we do?"

Hongli looked at the river and thought for a moment before saying, "My dear consort, let's walk along the riverbank and see if we can find a shallow spot or a place to cross the river."

So the group walked along the riverbank for a while and finally found a place where the water was relatively shallow.

Hongzhou said, "Fourth Brother, it seems like we can get through here. I'll test the waters first."

As he spoke, Hongzhou slowly walked into the river. After taking a few steps, he called out, "It's alright here. The water isn't too deep. Everyone be careful. We should be able to cross."

The group then followed Hongzhou into the river one by one, carefully crossing it.

Just as they were about to reach the other side, several men wielding harpoons suddenly emerged from the river and attacked them.

Little Swallow exclaimed, "Oh no, another enemy!"

Hongli quickly shielded Xiaoyanzi and shouted, "Everyone be careful, don't get hurt by them!"

The group was plunged into a new battle, fighting off these suddenly appearing enemies in the river.

While dodging the harpoons, Hongzhou shouted, "Where did these people come from? It's impossible to guard against them!"

Fucha's primary consort also cried out, "Your Highness, we must get ashore as soon as possible!"

Seizing the opportunity, Little Swallow kicked away an enemy's harpoon and shouted, "Let's rush to the shore! Don't get entangled with them in the river!"

The group struggled to swim and run towards the shore, and after finally reaching the land, they quickly fought off the pursuing enemies.

After a lot of trouble, I finally got rid of these people completely.

Little Swallow, panting heavily, said, "Your Highness, the journey back to the palace is so difficult. We don't know how many dangers await us."

Hongli looked at Xiaoyanzi with a firm yet gentle gaze and said, "My beloved consort, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles we face, as long as we join hands, we will surely overcome them. We must return to the palace and expose the crimes of that Minister of Rites."

The political landscape of the palace remains ever-changing. Will they be able to return to the palace safely? When will the secrets behind the murals in the Shadow Pavilion be fully revealed? Everything is still unknown, and their story continues to unfold.
