The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 26

Shen Yue turned to look at Song Jin.

This sissy was surprisingly calm. In this situation, he thought he would have wet his pants by now, but Song Jin’s expression hadn’t changed at all.

All the way here, they had fought and passed through obstacles without causing a big commotion.

He thought they hadn’t alerted the people at the gold mine.

He had been careless.

If the Duke An’s household dared to secretly mine gold behind the emperor’s back, they would have made sure everything was foolproof.

“Take him away,” Shen Yue ordered Lu Zhan with a glance at Song Jin.

“No need,” Song Jin said, looking at Shen Yue with a solemn expression. “Whether or not we can escape from here with their numbers and familiarity with the terrain, the Song family is not one to break promises. Since I promised my father to assist you in this investigation, I won’t leave you to die.”

This righteous demeanor of the sissy surprised Shen Yue.

However, beyond the surprise, it didn’t stir any other feelings.

Looking at Song Jin disdainfully, he said, “You staying here will only cause trouble for me. Let Lu Zhan take you away!”

Wan Xi immediately grabbed Song Jin’s arm, “Young Master, let’s go. Father always said that boys need to know how to protect themselves outside. Recognizing the situation is the mark of a true hero.”

As they spoke, a chilling killing intent approached them.

Wan Xi, shivering, clutched Song Jin’s arm tightly. Realizing something was wrong, she trembled as she positioned herself in front of Song Jin.

“Young Master, go, I’ll hold them off!”

Like a trembling quail.

Shen Yue…

Lu Zhan…

Song Jin, however, was touched and patted Wan Xi’s head.

Forty to fifty assassins, a black mass, all wielding sharp swords, were only a short distance away from them.

Shen Yue couldn’t waste time arguing with Song Jin any longer. He left a quick, “Take him away,” and leaped forward.

With a sword in his hand, Shen Yue’s movements created a flurry of sword shadows.

The enemies’ swords were equally sharp, and dozens of them thrust towards Shen Yue in unison.

Despite the oncoming sword tips, Shen Yue didn’t dodge.

With a flash of cold light in his eyes, his sword movements became even more intricate.

Though it seemed he hadn’t struck anyone, people continuously fell wounded.

His sword danced, and the enemies could only surround him without getting close.

Xu Lin stood not far away, clapping slowly and sneering, “Fourth Prince, you never change. Back then, you relied on Concubine Yi to return to the palace. Now, you’re still relying on a woman. I wonder what Concubine Yi would think if she knew.”

Song Jin…

Relying on a woman?

Looking up at Shen Yue wielding his sword, wearing a scarlet pleated skirt with a lotus flower pattern, Song Jin couldn’t help but twitch her mouth.

Seriously!

The man opposite didn’t recognize him!

Not only Song Jin, but even Shen Yue himself hesitated for a moment in his sword dance.

Since Xu Lin hadn’t recognized him, he kept silent.

With lips pressed into a firm line, Shen Yue’s sword movements grew as fierce as a storm.

Lu Zhan tugged at Song Jin’s sleeve, “Young Master Song, let’s go. Your presence distracts our prince.”

Since Xu Lin had directly pointed out Shen Yue’s royal status, there was no need to hide it from Song Jin.

Song Jin glanced at Shen Yue, “If I leave, what are your chances of success?”

Lu Zhan hesitated briefly before answering truthfully, “Ninety percent.”

Song Jin raised an eyebrow, “Just you two and those few secret guards have a ninety percent chance against these men?”

Lu Zhan nodded, “We don’t aim to win; we aim to take something. But if you don’t leave, our prince will be distracted, and our chances will drop to less than fifty percent.”

Song Jin smiled, “If you wanted me to leave now, why bring me here in the first place?”

Lu Zhan…

We brought you to find the mine entrance!

Who could have guessed that we’d run into Xu Lin just after finding it!

As they spoke, Shen Yue suddenly rolled and landed on a flat spot, his sword carving a long line into the ground.

As the mark was made, sand, dirt, and leaves swirled up where his sword touched.

A rapidly spinning sand barrier formed along the mark.

In a flash, Shen Yue disappeared behind the barrier.

As he vanished, the sand barrier gradually stopped, and the debris fell to the ground.

Xu Lin’s previously cold face turned anxious.

“Where is she? Where did that woman go! You useless lot, can’t you kill one woman?”

With Xu Lin’s roar, the men in black drew their swords and searched around.

Lu Zhan pulled Song Jin’s arm, whispering, “The prince is distracting them. Young Master Song, come with me!”

Song Jin didn’t move.

Peering through the dense bushes, she watched the scene.

Xu Lin, with a dark face, looked towards the bushes again.

A woman who could be so formidable must have been underestimated by him.

Who knew Shen Yue had such capable people around him?

“Fourth Prince, what great skill you have! Relying on women to fight for you time and time again! Are you planning to hide behind women forever? Do you think throwing out a woman as bait will leave me helpless? You underestimate the Duke An’s household!”

With that, Xu Lin raised his hand again.

As his hand lifted, over a dozen archers with powerful crossbows appeared.

“Shoot that bush with arrows!”

The archers, upon receiving the order, aimed their crossbows at the bushes.

“Young Master, let’s go now. If we don’t, there really won’t be a chance!” Lu Zhan was so desperate he almost decided to knock Song Jin out and carry him away.

Just as Lu Zhan raised his hand, a shocking scene unfolded.

Even a worldly-wise man like Lu Zhan was stunned.

The archers shot their arrows towards the bushes, the arrowheads flying straight at the bushes, but just as they reached the edge, the arrows seemed to grow legs and reversed direction.

The arrows, initially aimed at them, now flew straight back at the archers.

Lu Zhan, staring at the scene, forgot to take Song Jin away and didn’t notice Song Jin’s expression.

Song Jin stood there, hands clenched into fists, eyes fixed on the enemies opposite, eyes narrowing with a cold gleam.

That aura made Wan Xi feel unfamiliar.

Wan Xi let go of Song Jin’s arm, staring at her in disbelief, stumbling back a step, “Young Master?”

Song Jin remained unmoved, silent, maintaining her stance, eyes locked on the enemies.

The arrows flew back at the archers.

The archers, clearly stunned.

Before they could react, the arrows turned, pointing at their throats.

Thud!

All the arrows pierced the archers’ throats simultaneously, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Song Jin raised her chin.

The arrows that had pierced the archers’ throats automatically withdrew, pointing slightly upward.

Song Jin’s eyes narrowed, and the arrows flew towards Xu Lin.

Moments ago, Xu Lin had been vicious and cruel; now, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, screaming, “A ghost!”
