"Shao Han, can we really arrive safely?" Du Yunsheng's voice was filled with a hint of uneasiness and trembling.

Jiang Shaohan paused, his eyes in the night were like deep stars, flashing a firm and deep light: "Yun Sheng, I solemnly promise you on my honor that no matter how many obstacles there are ahead, I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you until we reach our destination safely. Our beliefs are like sharp swords, as long as we work together, we will not be afraid of any challenge."

Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, with gratitude and trust in his eyes: "Shao Han, your determination always gives me strength and makes me believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter, we are never fighting alone."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind. Du Yunxiao held Du Yunsheng's hand tightly, and said in a low and nervous voice: "Shao Han, someone is coming."

Jiang Shaohan turned around, holding his sword tightly in his hand. The man who came was a black-clad assassin with a stern face. The long sword in his hand reflected a dazzling cold light under the moonlight: "Prince Jiang, we meet again."

Jiang Shaohan frowned slightly, knowing that this was a test from the enemy: "Who are you? Why are you chasing me so relentlessly?"

The man in black sneered: "Prince Jiang, have you forgotten that you were once a traitor to my Western Wei?"

"Traitor?" Jiang Shaohan's face suddenly changed. He had never expected that he would bear such a stigma. "Who am I betraying? I only hope that my country will be peaceful. How can I be called a traitor?"

The man in black ignored Jiang Shaohan's explanation and swung his sword straight at Jiang Shaohan: "Today, you must pay for my lord's life!"

The sword flashed, and Jiang Shaohan dodged the attack in an instant, and then counterattacked with lightning speed. His sword skills were agile, like wind and rain, catching the man in black off guard for a moment.

"Shao Han, be careful!" Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao shouted nervously.

Jiang Shaohan's heart tightened, knowing that he must not let Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao fall into danger. He quickly put away his sword and turned around to block the two of them.

"Shao Han, you..." Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao looked at him worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Jiang Shaohan's voice was firm and powerful.

At this moment, the man in black launched another fierce attack. Jiang Shaohan responded quickly and started a thrilling sword fight with the man in black in the night. Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao watched the fight nervously, worried about Jiang Shaohan's safety.

"Yun Sheng, Yun Xiao, leave quickly, I'll cover your retreat." Jiang Shaohan shouted while fighting.

Du Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, but she knew that if she didn't leave, she would only become a burden to Jiang Shaohan. She gritted her teeth, took Du Yunxiao's hand, turned around and ran in another direction.

Seeing this, the man in black put away his sword and chased after him. Jiang Shaohan took the opportunity to get rid of the man in black and quickly chased in the direction of Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao.

"Yun Sheng, Yun Xiao, wait for me!" Jiang Shaohan's voice echoed in the night.

When Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao heard Jiang Shaohan's voice, they immediately stopped and turned around to wait. When Jiang Shaohan arrived, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shao Han, are you okay?" Du Yunsheng asked with concern.

Jiang Shaohan shook his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I'm fine, just a little uncomfortable."

Du Yunsheng looked at him worriedly: "Shao Han, we should leave here quickly, it's too dangerous here."

Jiang Shaohan nodded, and the three of them quickened their pace. However, when they were about to walk out of the cave, they found an enemy patrol patrolling ahead.

"Shao Han, what should we do?" Du Yunsheng asked nervously.

Jiang Shaohan pondered for a moment and said, "Yun Sheng, you take Yun Xiao and hide. I will attract their attention."

Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao knew this was the only way, so they immediately hid in the bushes nearby. Jiang Shaohan stood on the side of the road, deliberately attracting the attention of the patrol team.

"Stop! Who is here?" the patrol captain shouted loudly.

Jiang Shaohan did not answer, but instead quickened his pace, causing the patrol to catch up. Du Yunsheng and Du Yunxiao took the opportunity to leave the cave and continued along the path.

Du Yunsheng looked at him worriedly: "Shao Han, you can't take risks like this again. We need a safe place to recuperate."

Jiang Shaohan smiled bitterly: "Yun Sheng, I know this, but I can't let you do it alone. As a couple, we should stick together."

Du Yunsheng was moved and held Jiang Shaohan's hand tightly: "Shaohan, you are so good to me. I want to stay with you forever."

As the sky gradually brightened, the three finally arrived at a secluded village. They found a simple inn and settled down temporarily.

"Shao Han, thank you." Du Yunsheng said gratefully.

Jiang Shaohan looked at Du Yunsheng affectionately: "Yunsheng, you are the most precious treasure in my life. I am willing to go through fire and water for you. I will do whatever it takes."

Du Yunsheng snuggled in Jiang Shaohan's arms, with a happy smile on his face: "Shaohan, I understand, and I am willing to give everything for you."

In the quaint inn, a thick door carved from ancient wood slowly opened with a slight creaking sound, and the three knights, Jiang Shaohan, Du Yunsheng, and Du Yunxiao, stepped heavily into this quiet space. The waiter saw that their faces were covered with traces of dust and tiredness, and felt pity for them, and immediately went forward to greet them warmly.

"My three distinguished guests, the journey must have been arduous. Please follow me to the inner room to rest for a while." The waiter's voice was mixed with concern that could not be ignored.

Du Yunsheng responded to the waiter's thoughtful gesture with a grateful smile. She gently stroked her slightly sore shoulders and responded softly, "Thank you." Then, she turned to her two companions and said, "Shao Han, Yun Xiao, you guys take a rest first. I'll go prepare some food."

Jiang Shaohan nodded in agreement, chose a seat by the window and sat down, staring through the window lattice at the bustling street scene outside the window, with a heavy sadness between his brows. Last night's experience lingered in his mind like a nightmare, and he deeply realized that they not only had to face powerful enemies from the outside world, but also had to bravely face the fear in their hearts.

"Shao Han, are you okay?" Du Yunsheng walked up to him worriedly, holding a bowl of fragrant, steaming porridge.

Jiang Shaohan looked up at her concerned eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart: "I'm fine, Yun Sheng, you are the one who needs care the most."

Du Yunxiao sat at the table opposite and comforted him softly, "Shao Han, don't worry too much. We are in the same boat and can overcome any difficulties together."

Jiang Shaohan smiled slightly and thought to himself that as long as the three of them walked side by side, they would have nothing to fear.

Soon, Du Yunsheng came back with three bowls of fragrant noodles and invited them warmly, "Come and eat while it's hot."

As the steaming food was placed on the table, the three of them began to enjoy this warm meal, and the atmosphere gradually became relaxed. Jiang Shaohan suggested while eating: "Yun Sheng, Yun Xiao, we should find a place to settle down and have a good rest first."

Du Yunsheng put down the chopsticks in his hand and said seriously: "Shao Han, you are right. We do need a quiet and safe place. But now that the Western Wei Dynasty is in turmoil, it is not easy to find such a place."
