Cheng Xiran pursed her lips, wrinkled her nose, and murmured to herself, "What's so great? He's just a mediocre fighter. He can only deceive those ignorant girls and old women."
The man beside her, who had originally looked scared, immediately boosted the morale of his men. "Guys, attack!"
"Come on, everyone!" Cheng Xiran shouted along.
Helian Duo on the opposite side couldn't help but be taken aback. He wondered silently in his heart, what on earth is this woman up to?
But the current situation didn't allow him to dwell on such thoughts. After all, a lot of people rushed forward all at once, and several of them were holding weapons. It was obvious that they were aiming for his life. He didn't have time to think further when a long sword was thrust at him.
Amidst a chorus of exclamations, Helian Duo dodged nimbly with his agile body. Then he did a backflip and landed directly behind the enemy. He gave the enemy a hard palm strike, and the man collapsed to the ground instantly.
For a moment, there were continuous screams.
Helian Duo flitted about like a black butterfly in the increasingly intense sunlight.
The women on the periphery got even more excited, but Cheng Xiran gradually lost interest. Her face darkened, and she questioned, "Hey, are your men so useless? They can't even hurt Helian Duo?"
The man looked embarrassed and didn't know how to reply for a moment.
If Helian Duo continued fighting like this, she was afraid that there would be even more women gathered outside the prince's mansion. Although this matter didn't have much to do with her, he was her employer after all. If he got into trouble, she naturally had to serve him.
With this thought in mind, Cheng Xiran ran towards him. While running, she urgently shouted, "Stop fighting! The government officials will come if you keep going!"
After hearing the second half of her words, the men stopped. She originally thought the matter would end there, but unexpectedly, Helian Duo gathered his strength and launched an active attack. No matter what Cheng Xiran said, it was of no use.
So the people got entangled again, and Helian Duo clearly had the upper hand. Maybe because the others were in a state of disarray, in the end, they didn't even take Cheng Xiran seriously. They even started to make moves on Cheng Xiran who was caught in the middle.
Cheng Xiran knew very well about the ancient medical technology. If she was accidentally stabbed by a long sword, there would be no painkillers or anti - inflammatory drugs. She would have to lie in bed for many days and endure the excruciating pain every day.
If the injury was even more serious and required surgery, the anesthetics in ancient times were not as effective as those in modern times. She might even die from the pain... Just thinking about this made Cheng Xiran extremely anxious. She wanted to run but found that she was already surrounded.
Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt her body being lifted into the air. The next second, she was directly pulled into Helian Duo's arms. Then she heard a low growl, but this was soon replaced by the frenzied beating of her own heart.
His embrace was very warm, which instantly dispelled the extreme fear that had been lingering in her heart.
While she was in a daze, Helian Duo had already held her waist and fended off anyone who tried to approach them. It was not until the cheers got closer that Cheng Xiran slowly came to her senses.
"People from their side are gradually coming from the east. Leave quickly."
Although Helian Duo's tone was cold, it was for Cheng Xiran's good after all.
He pushed her away and then rushed into the crowd on his own initiative. As the momentum grew, the people around them stopped cheering and started to talk. Some of them were even ready to report the matter to the authorities.
