On the day of rebirth, I took my baby to find Jiuqiansui to recognize his relatives

Jiang Yanwan dodged in time and slashed the assassin's sleeve with her backhand, forcing him to retreat. She took a breath and looked at Wu Junyao with trust: "Commander-in-chief, we must get rid of them as soon as possible."

Wu Junyao nodded, his eyes like lightning: "You cover me, I will deal with the enemy in front."

Jiang Yanwan said no more and quickly took two steps back, holding the knife in both hands, ready for defense. Wu Junyao gathered his strength and launched a fierce counterattack against the assassins. His sword light was like a dragon, with a powerful pressure, forcing the assassins to retreat step by step.

The assassins seemed to realize that their goal was difficult to achieve, and one of them blew a sharp whistle, signaling to retreat. Several of them quickly disappeared into the night, as if they had never appeared.

Wu Junyao sheathed his sword and looked around vigilantly: "It seems they won't give up easily. We have to be more vigilant."

Jiang Yanwan nodded in agreement. Although she was still gasping for breath, there was no trace of fear on her face: "These people may not just be ordinary assassins. They may be related to this disaster."

"Yes, I will arrange soldiers to strengthen patrols tomorrow morning to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation." Wu Junyao said in a deep voice. He turned around and carefully checked Jiang Yanwan's injuries. After confirming that she was not seriously injured, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, luckily you are here." Jiang Yanwan chuckled, with gratitude flashing in her eyes.

Wu Junyao patted her shoulder gently and said, "It's because you are well-trained that you can handle it so calmly tonight. Let's take a break. We have more important things to deal with tomorrow."

The night wind was still blowing gently, and the bonfire was burning quietly in the dim light. Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan leaned against each other, silently guarding the land that had just regained its vitality. Suddenly, they heard a low conversation not far away, and it seemed that the villagers were patrolling spontaneously.

"It seems that everyone is very alert." Jiang Yanwan smiled with relief.

"Well, this is a good thing." Wu Junyao nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes, "With such villagers, our efforts will not be in vain."

At dawn the next day, Wu Junyao summoned soldiers, arranged new defense measures, and sent personnel to inspect the situation in each disaster-stricken village. Jiang Yanwan led the medical team to continue the rescue work.

While they were busy, a soldier came running to report: "Governor, we found some items left by the assassin last night, which may hold clues."

Wu Junyao frowned: "What item? Take me to see it."

Jiang Yanwan also followed Wu Junyao. They came to a hidden forest and found some torn clothes and a letter on the ground. Wu Junyao picked up the letter and read it carefully. His face became serious: "Sure enough, there are people behind these assassins, and it is related to the internal struggle of the court."

Jiang Yanwan asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

Wu Junyao pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Yan Wan, we can't let these people disrupt our disaster relief work. I'm going to contact reinforcements from the capital, you must stay here and protect the villagers."

Jiang Yanwan nodded without hesitation: "Don't worry, I will do my best."

As they were talking, a soldier suddenly ran over with a nervous look on his face: "Captain, some villagers saw a stranger wandering outside the village and suspected that he was an accomplice of the assassin."

Wu Junyao's eyes were stern: "Okay, let's go check it out immediately!" He turned to look at Jiang Yanwan, and said firmly, "Yanwan, this time there are dangers everywhere, you must be careful."

Jiang Yanwan shook his hand and said firmly: "Governor, don't worry, I will protect myself and the villagers."

Wu Junyao smiled approvingly: "Okay, let's fight side by side."

The two quickly led the soldiers to the outside of the village. They had to find out the truth as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the village. In the bushes outside the village, there were indeed several figures wandering around. When they saw Wu Junyao and Jiang Yanwan coming with their men, they immediately fled.

"Chase!" Wu Junyao gave an order and the soldiers quickly chased after them, while Jiang Yanwan stayed where she was, guarding the surroundings.

Jiang Yanwan stared at the fleeing shadow, feeling a little uneasy. At this moment, her identity and the importance of this operation made her feel a great sense of responsibility. She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and continued to stay alert.

Wu Junyao and the soldiers were already chasing after the shadow, and soon they disappeared from sight. Jiang Yanwan knew she had to stay where she was and protect the villagers, but she still couldn't hide her worries.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind her: "Yan Wan!" Jiang Yanwan turned around suddenly and saw a young man in soldier armor running towards her. He was one of Wu Junyao's elite subordinates, named Zhao Yong.

"Zhao Yong, what's the situation?" Jiang Yanwan asked with an anxious look in her eyes.

Zhao Yong panted and replied, "The governor and others are chasing those shadows. I was ordered to come back and inform you that we may need support."

Jiang Yanwan nodded: "I understand. Go and gather the young men in the village and have them prepare for defense. If anything happens, notify me immediately."

Zhao Yong took the order and left, while Jiang Yanwan took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and prepared for the next response.

At this moment, several low drum sounds were heard in the distance, which was the way the village used to convey emergency information. Jiang Yanwan immediately became alert and ran quickly to the source of the sound, passing by the small square where the villagers gathered.

"Miss Jiang, what happened?" a villager in his thirties asked anxiously, holding a hoe in his hand.

"There are strangers wandering outside the village. Everyone should be vigilant and try not to act alone." Jiang Yanwan answered concisely and clearly.

When the villagers heard her words, they nodded and quickly dispersed to inform others. Jiang Yanwan continued to move towards the village entrance, silently praying that Wu Junyao would be fine.

At this time, Ah Yan in the capital was also facing new challenges. The palace was magnificent and magnificent, but Ah Yan was full of trepidation. She was arranged to study with several of the emperor's children. Although she had not yet officially entered the Imperial College, she had already felt the invisible pressure.

Today is her third day of studying in the palace. Ah Yan sits quietly in a corner of the lecture hall, hearing the voice of the teacher explaining the Four Books and Five Classics. She tries to concentrate and write down every key point, fearing that she will fall behind.

However, she noticed that there was a young man of her age sitting not far away, with a look of disdain in his eyes. That was the fourth prince, Li Yu, who was always unruly and showed a condescending attitude towards everyone. Ah Yan knew that the identity of this young man determined his attitude, but she still couldn't help feeling unhappy.

After class, Li Yu walked towards Ah Yan and said coldly, "Are you the new Ah Yan? I heard that you are from the countryside. I wonder if you have seen the world."
