On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Chapter 1413 You are surrounded

Lin Zhen's words made Yue Fei's heart skip a beat.

He wasn't stupid; he instantly understood Lin Zhen's meaning. The prince felt the previous commotion hadn't been big enough and wanted to lure out all the rats hiding in the shadows and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

But this... this is too risky!

They only have a little over a hundred men at most right now. If the other side is really determined to send thousands or even tens of thousands of elite soldiers, I'm afraid...

"Your Highness, this is absolutely unacceptable!" Yue Fei's expression turned extremely grave. "The three great families have deep roots, and the assassins they raise are far superior to Murong Ke's rabble. We are currently short of troops, and if we get entangled with them, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"General Yue, do we have any other choice now?" Lin Zhen put down his teacup, his smile gradually fading. "Those people are like termites clinging to the great tree of Daqian. As long as they are not removed, the tree will never have a moment of peace."

"Now we have the opportunity to uproot them completely, so why not do it?" Lin Zhen's voice was calm. "Do we want to wait until they are fully grown and beyond redemption before we regret it?"

Yue Fei was silent.

The prince is right; a short pain is worse than a long one. Although he could accept it rationally, he still couldn't bear to watch His Majesty and the prince take such a big risk.

"But……"

“General Yue,” Murong Yan spoke, her clear, moon-like phoenix eyes looking at Yue Fei, “I know what you’re worried about. But you must also believe that neither the Prince nor I are reckless men.”

She paused, then said, "They wanted to be hunters, but they didn't realize they were already trapped in the net."

Seeing the crazed imperial couple before him, Yue Fei finally gave up trying to persuade them.

He saluted the two men. "Your subordinate understands."

Having said that, he turned and left the room. He was going to redeploy the defenses. Since tonight was destined to be anything but peaceful, he would use his sword to build the strongest line of defense for His Majesty and the Prince.

The room returned to silence.

The innkeeper quickly brought up hot water and food.

A few simple home-style dishes and a steaming pot of mutton soup, though not comparable to the delicacies of the palace, are already considered a rare treat in this place.

Murong Yan was clearly hungry. She ate in small bites, her posture elegant. Even in this simple post station, she maintained the good manners befitting royalty.

Lin Zhen didn't touch her chopsticks; she just held her teacup and quietly watched her eat.

That jet-black phoenix-themed dress was now laid out on the floor.

Because the room was too small, the five-zhang-long, dark gold train had to be folded up, resembling a small mountain made of black and gold silk.

The giant phoenix that always shone brightly on the skirt now had its eyes slightly closed, as if it, along with its owner, was entering a rare moment of rest.

"Husband, why aren't you eating?" Murong Yan looked up and saw that Lin Zhen was just looking at her, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Just watching you eat makes me feel full." Lin Zhen smiled, his deep eyes full of doting affection.

Murong Yan blushed at his mushy words, picked up a piece of mutton and held it to his mouth, "Ah~ open your mouth."

Lin Zhen obeyed and opened her mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Murong Yan asked.

"Hehe, anything you feed me tastes good." Lin Zhen chuckled.

"You're so glib." Murong Yan rolled her eyes at him, though she said that, her beautiful phoenix eyes were full of sweet smiles.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly warm and cozy.

Suddenly, a very faint sound of something cutting through the air came from outside the window.

Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed.

He pulled Murong Yan up from her seat and held her tightly in his arms.

Almost at the same time.

call out--!

A crossbow bolt, completely black, shot in through the crack in the window like a venomous snake!

It precisely nailed to the spot where Murong Yan had just been sitting.

The arrow's fletching was still buzzing.

"There are assassins!"

Outside the post station, Yue Fei's furious roar suddenly rang out!

Immediately following was the sound of countless weapons clashing and shrill screams that echoed throughout the entire post station!

"Husband!" Murong Yan looked at the crossbow bolt that was only inches away from her, a hint of fear appearing on her cool and pretty face.

If Lin Zhen hadn't reacted quickly, that crossbow bolt would probably have pierced her heart.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Lin Zhen patted her back, his voice gentle, yet carrying a chilling coldness.

He slowly raised his head and looked out the window at the courtyard where a chaotic battle had broken out.

Those deep eyes now held only a chilling killing intent.

He was angry.

……

Outside the post station, chaos had already broken out.

Hundreds of men in black, wielding sharp blades, were fighting Yue Fei and his hundred personal guards.

These men in black were all exceptionally skilled, ruthless, and fearless.

They were clearly specially trained assassins.

Their numbers were several times that of Yue Fei's side.

But Yue Fei and his hundred personal guards were also battle-hardened elites who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

They formed a well-balanced offensive and defensive formation, tightly protecting the room where Lin Zhen and Murong Yan were located in the center.

No matter how hard the men in black tried to fight, they couldn't cross the line.

"Kill! Leave no one alive!" A leader of the men in black roared angrily as the attack stalled.

They don't have much time tonight. If they alert the local government and garrison, they will all die here.

Following his order.

The men in black became increasingly aggressive, even resorting to a life-for-life fighting style!

Pfft——!

A guard of the Great Qian Dynasty beheaded a man in black with a single stroke.

But his chest was also pierced through by another man in black with a long knife!

"brother!"

The guards around him, witnessing this scene, all had eyes wide with rage!

"Come and die for me!"

They roared in grief and anger, and swung their long swords fiercely!

The entire courtyard transformed into a bloody meat grinder at that moment.

People kept falling.

There were men in black, as well as the personal guards of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The air was thick with an overwhelming stench of blood.

Just as the battle was becoming increasingly stalemate...

A cold voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"Everyone, stand down."

It is Lin Zhen.

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's voice, Yue Fei was taken aback at first, but then immediately issued the order without hesitation.

"withdraw!"

Upon hearing the order, all the Great Qian Imperial Guards immediately retreated towards the room.

The men in black, seeing them retreat, all wore expressions of ecstatic relief at surviving a disaster.

They assumed that the other party was afraid.

"Charge in! Kill that vixen!" the leader of the men in black roared excitedly.

He took the lead and was the first to rush over!

Just as he was about to rush to the door.

With a creak, a sound was heard.

The door slowly opened.
