"Husband?" Leaning in the man's familiar embrace, Shen Wan felt at ease for no reason. Looking up at him, she called him in surprise and joy.

The little boy she was holding seemed to feel relieved when she saw Qi Yan.

As Shen Wan leaned in the man's arms, it climbed up and rubbed its fleshy body against the man's chest.

He glanced down at the little thing with some disgust, and then Qi Yan turned to the little woman in his arms, "Are you hurt?"

"No." Shen Wan shook her head and answered truthfully.

"Close your eyes!" He raised his hand and stroked her eyes. Although Qi Yan's voice was gentle, he exuded a strong aura of hostility.

Sensing his sullenness, Shen Wan guessed that he was about to kill, so he was afraid of scaring her.

She responded with a faint "Yes" and closed her eyes tightly in obedience.

With cold eyes, the man's right hand suddenly had a long sword.

With the experience of Lianhua Lake last time, this time, he would not let her go no matter what.

Holding the little woman in his arms with one hand and holding a sword in the other, Qi Yan jumped into the crowd in a flash.

In the flash of swords and shadows, the man in black didn't even have time to see his moves clearly, and there was already a red mark on his neck.

After a while, blood spattered out, the body gradually lost support, and one by one fell to the ground and died.

Her body flew up from time to time, and Shen Wan was afraid of falling. She held the baby in one hand and held the man's clothes tightly with the other.

The thick smell of blood spread in the air, and she felt that her feet had landed on the ground. Shen Wan couldn't help but half-opened her eyes to look out of curiosity.

But at this moment, her body suddenly felt light again, and she closed her eyes tightly subconsciously.

The wind whistled by her ears. Perhaps because he was afraid of scratching her cheek, Qi Yan's big palm clasped the back of her head and pressed her flailing little head into his arms.

After dealing with the assassins on Mo Feng's side, he jumped to Mo Yu's side again, using the same sharp moves, three times five divided by two, and all the men in black were killed by his sword.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the archer hiding in the second-floor attic secretly tried to escape. However, as soon as he turned around, a sword flying from the sky pierced his heart from behind.

Putting down his sword-throwing right hand, Qi Yan took off his cloak and put it on Shen Wan, wrapped her around him and turned over to ride on the horse.

Regent House.

Qi Yan sat on the chair with a gloomy expression, and the atmosphere in the hall was quiet and depressing.

Mo Feng and Mo Yu knelt on the ground, with their heads buried very low, and took the initiative to plead guilty: "My subordinates neglected their duties and failed to protect the princess. Please punish me."

"Ah?" Shen Wan frowned in confusion, "Didn't you protect me very well? Where did you fail in your duty? Get up quickly!"

Normally, the princess's order would be enough, but this matter involves the princess's safety, and the prince doesn't say anything, and neither of them dares to move.

Seeing that the guard did not respond, Shen Wan turned to look at the man.

"Husband, they followed me every step of the way and helped me block the assassin's attack. They have merit and demerit. You should reward them. Why should you punish them?"

"Is it merit or demerit? You let the assassin get close to you, and you still need to deal with it yourself. Isn't this a fault?"

Qi Yan curled his lips and sneered, pulled Shen Wan into his arms, raised his hand to hold her chin, "What if you didn't carry any powder with you today?"

"Then didn't I bring it with me? You see, I also have some ability to protect myself. Moreover, two groups of assassins suddenly appeared. The scene was a bit chaotic. It was inevitable that it was difficult to take care of everything for a while.

They've tried their best. Besides, I'm not in good shape and I'm not hurt at all, so you just..."

Shen Wan tried to persuade her, but before she could finish her words, she was forcibly interrupted by the man, "If you are really hurt, it will be too late."

"For your safety, what I want is to be foolproof!"

The secret guards sent to protect her are pretty good among all his secret guards. It's not that they don't have the strength to protect her, but...

Thinking about the scene he saw when he arrived, Qi Yan's face became more and more gloomy.

"Although there are two groups of assassins today, they are all ordinary assassins, and their number is not too large. One person can deal with the assassins enough, and the other should guard you closely to protect your safety.

Especially when one of the parties still has a concealed weapon, they actually let you stand alone.

Because two groups of assassins suddenly appeared at the same time, they messed up their positions, leaving you alone and in danger. This was a serious dereliction of duty. Do you think they have done it before, and should they be punished? "

Shen Wan finally understood that he was angry because the secret guard's way of protecting her was wrong.

It's really difficult to work for him. How many people can stay completely calm and make rational thinking and judgment in a hurry?

But he was so angry now that Shen Wan didn't dare to say these words, so she could only think about it secretly in her heart.

When she raised her eyes to meet the sinister look in the man's eyes, her little heart couldn't help but tremble. Sure enough, it was still the same as in her previous life. Whenever her safety was involved, he was always ruthless and fatal.

"Then what's the punishment?" Shen Wan asked weakly.

"Fifty lashes!" The man's voice was low and cool, without a trace of emotion.

"After so many times, wouldn't it mean that the skin has been torn apart? Can we discuss it again?" Shen Wan pursed her lips in frustration.

"They should be lucky that you are okay. If you were injured at all today, they wouldn't even have a chance to be punished."

"But you injured someone, how can they protect me?"

"I can arrange other secret guards for you." His fingers gently rubbed the girl's cheek, Qi Yan's eyes were stern, and he showed no intention of giving in.

"I'm used to them and don't want to change." Shen Wan searched for excuses. Unfortunately, this time, the man didn't buy her account.

"Then I will protect you personally."

"You are busy with official duties every day, how can you always follow me and serve as my guard!"

Two groups of assassins appeared at the same time, and the secret guards may have dealt with it a little irrationally, but in Shen Wan's view, this was not a mistake. She didn't want them to suffer such a heavy punishment for nothing.

The point is, this man is unreasonable when it comes to her safety, so how can we make sense.

If it doesn't work, then you can only...
