Chapter 213 The Group is Attacked

A few days later, Yongqi, Xiaoyanzi, and their group, along with Hanxiang and Mardan, visited Yongqi's secret base—Biboting.

After everyone got off the carriage, they slowly walked inside. Hanxiang looked at the distant mountains and rivers and felt refreshed.

"Let's go boating," Hanxiang said with a smile, looking at everyone. "I've never experienced this before..."

Yongqi looked at Mardan, "Can you row a boat?"

Mardan nodded. "Of course."

Seeing that Mardan was alright, Yongqi arranged for people to prepare a small boat.

Seeing that everyone was already seated on the boat, Little Swallow laughed and said, "See that little hill over there? Let's see whose boat gets there the fastest!"

Mardan asked, "What's the reward for winning?"

Little Swallow looked at Yongqi, "Yongqi, what do you think is a good reward this time?"

Yongqi laughed and said, "The winner can choose a weapon of their choice from my armory!"

Upon hearing about the reward, the others' eyes lit up, and Hanxiang asked curiously, "Does his armory have many good things?"

Xiao Jian smiled and nodded, "Of course, we have all kinds of weapons!"

Besides hardware (swords and the like), there's also software, such as deadly poisons...

"Hanxiang, we need to hurry, we have to go and see for ourselves!"

Everyone rowed faster, wanting to plunder Yongqi's armory.

It was only because Yongqi rarely opened the armory that they had been inside once, and they couldn't forget it!

Now that they have the chance to go in again, of course they have to go and take a look!

-------------------------------------

However, they did not expect that someone would come to spoil their fun again during this rowing competition.

While rowing, assassins dressed in black swarmed up from underwater. Yongqi shouted, "Everyone, be careful!"

Saiya didn't go out to play because she wasn't feeling well, and Fultai stayed home with her, which helped them avoid this incident.

Fortunately, all of them were skilled in martial arts, so the assassin did not gain any advantage.

Little Swallow curled her lips into a sneer and said, "Dare to assassinate this old lady? Don't you want to live?"

"Your great-aunt has many good things about her. Tell me, who do you think should serve you?"

Xiao Yanzi's words made the assassins a little flustered. The leader of the assassins shouted, "Say whatever you want, we won't be afraid. Our target today is those two people!"

The people he was looking at were Hanxiang and Mardan!

Alright, now they all understand. If the princess and her husband from Xinjiang were to die here, then the Qing Dynasty and Xinjiang would have to fight each other first!

Having understood their intentions, they all devised a plan to surround Hanxiang and Mardan.

"You think that this will prevent us from hurting them?"

Just when everyone thought that the assassins ahead would break into their encirclement to deal with Hanxiang and Mardan, unexpectedly, someone pulled Hanxiang and Mardan off the ship!

"Little Swallow!" Hanxiang only had time to call out "Little Swallow" before she was pulled into the water!

"Hanxiang!" Little Swallow jumped into the water without hesitation, searching for Hanxiang and Mardan.

The others who could swim followed.

The fighting here was quickly heard by people on the shore, who immediately sent people into the water to assist Yongqi and the others.

-------------------------------------

When Hanxiang woke up, she found herself tied up in a cave. Mardan was opposite her, with several knife wounds on his body, covered in blood!

"Mardan, Mardan, wake up..." Hanxiang struggled and moved to Mardan's side, waking him up.

Mardan opened his eyes and saw his and Hanxiang's predicament. He quickly asked, "Hanxiang, how are you?"

"I'm fine, but you..."

"You're injured, and we're all tied up. What are we going to do?"

Mardan reassured them, "Don't panic, Little Swallow and the others will definitely find a way to rescue us!"

Hanxiang said worriedly, "I'm afraid they won't even be able to protect themselves..."

Mardan shook his head and continued, "No, this is the Qing Dynasty, and it's the capital. We're on their territory, so everything will be fine!"

"Oh, you're awake." As the two were talking, a handsome young man walked in from outside the cave.

"Who are you?" Mardan looked at the elegant young man before him with a wary expression.

Suddenly, he clutched his chest, looking aggrieved, and said, "I kindly rescued you from the men in black, and instead of thanking you, you just stare at me like that. I'm so heartbroken!"

Mardan snorted, "If you really saved us, why did you tie us up?"

He said matter-of-factly, "When I rescued you, I didn't know whether you were good or bad people, so of course I had to tie you up. What if you were bad people? Wouldn't I have done something wrong while trying to do good?"

The elegant young man casually sat down on the ground, looking at Hanxiang and Mardan with curiosity. "So, who exactly are you two? Why are so many people chasing you?"

Mardan retorted, "And who are you? How were you able to rescue us from so many people?"

"I have a brilliant plan!" The elegant young man didn't answer directly. "However, if your wound isn't treated soon, you might die from blood loss..."

Hanxiang panicked at the sight of the bloodstains on Mardan's body. Hearing his words, she quickly asked, "Young master, since you saved us, could you do us a favor and help stop the bleeding..."

"Since a beauty has asked for my help, I should have agreed. But what would I gain by helping you?" The elegant young man stared intently at Hanxiang.

Mardan, being a man himself, immediately understood the meaning behind the look the other man was giving Hanxiang. "Turn your eyeballs away, or I'll gouge them out!"

The elegant young man sneered, "You've got the nerve to talk big, but I've already seen her. What can you do to me? I'm not just going to see her, I'm going to touch her, I'm going to kiss her, and I'm going to..."

Mardan glared at him, "You bastard, shut up!"

The handsome young man stared intently at Hanxiang, "Look at her face, how red it is!"

"My little beauty, have you thought it through? Is his life more important, or your innocence? As long as you're willing to stay with me, I'll help you save him!"

"Hanxiang, don't agree to him!" Mardan knew that Hanxiang was not afraid of anything except his death. He was really afraid that Hanxiang would agree to this because she didn't want him to die!

If it were in the past, Hanxiang might have actually agreed, after all, as long as Mardan could live, sacrificing herself wouldn't be a big deal!

But now, she can't stand anyone other than Mardan doing such intimate things to her!

"If you're unwilling to save him, then I'll die with him!" Hanxiang looked at him coldly. "I will never agree to what you've said!"

"What a virtuous and chaste woman! You want to die together? Fine!"

"However, you are powerless right now. Even if I stripped your clothes off in front of him, he would probably just have to watch helplessly and couldn't do anything about it, right?"

"You dare!" His words genuinely frightened Mardan and Hanxiang.

Seeing that the two were a little scared, the elegant young man suddenly burst into laughter, "I thought you two were really not afraid of anything. Now that I see you two are scared, I'm actually looking forward to it."
