Ah Qiao ran quickly toward the back door.
However, in the blink of an eye, Yun Jiao saw Ah Qiao with a pale face, being pushed in by the Jin Army soldiers with long spears against his back.
It turned out that this squad of Forbidden Army happened to be at the entrance of the alley when they saw the signal flare, and then charged into the alley.
Ah Qiao hadn’t even run to the back door when he saw the soldiers coming in.
In just the blink of an eye, Lady Wu and the others had already killed six soldiers.
The Jin Army captain who entered from the back door saw the corpses of his people on the ground and shouted, "Quick, launch the signal flare!" as he charged forward.
Yun Jiao stood close to the wall, while the nurse held Ruru.
She saw a Jin Army soldier pierce Ah Qiao through, and then rush towards Lady Wu and the others.
The remaining soldiers split into four to guard the front and back doors, vigilantly watching Yun Jiao and her group, while the rest joined the battle.
Ruru seed to be frightened by the sound of swords and began to cry loudly, impossible to soothe, no matter how the nurse tried.
Sixth Brother clenched his fists, looked at Yun Jiao, and said, "Sister Jiao Jiao, I, I want to—"
Yun Jiao shook her head forcefully, lowering her voice, "No, even though you’ve practiced martial arts for a few years, you’re no match for them."
The Jin Country soldiers were tall and powerful. Though their martial skills weren’t highly advanced, they trained every day; sending a child like Sixth Brother would be sending him to his death!
Yun Jiao saw Lady Wu quickly solve another one, then went to help two guards relieve pressure.
At that mont, another team of soldiers rushed in through the front door, followed by two people.
The limping Jiang Han was carried in by a servant. Upon seeing Lady Wu, he shouted, "Found them, found them!"
"The one with the sword is the Duchess of England!"
Then he looked carefully and pointed at Yun Jiao, "The one in blue clothes is the Doctor Gu that the Second Crown Prince is looking for—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Lady Wu grabbed a mont and shot an arrow straight into Jiang Han’s left eye.
Jiang Han scread like a slaughtered pig, "My eye—"
The nearby Jin Army squad captain frowned, drew his long knife, and slashed Jiang Han’s neck.
Jiang Han instantly went silent.
The servant carrying Jiang Han saw only a flash of the blade before feeling sothing warm splatter on him.
The servant’s legs went soft, collapsing to the ground together with the barely-breathing Jiang Han.
The squad captain squinted at the corpses on the ground, then ordered soldiers to fire the signal flare.
The squad captain glanced at the still-crying Ruru and strode toward her.
The nurse holding Ruru was full of tension, backing against the wall with nowhere to retreat.
Lady Wu saw the squad captain heading toward Ruru and let out a heart-rending scream, slashing a soldier’s neck with her sword before rushing towards Ruru.
Yun Jiao stepped forward and stood in front of Ruru and the nurse, saying to the squad captain, "My surna is Gu, and I am a doctor. Your Second Crown Prince has always wanted to treat the Empress of Jin Country."
She said as she saw Lady Wu had already rushed over.
Lady Wu, seeing the squad captain so close to Yun Jiao and her group, dared not use her sword for fear of hurting them, and instead reached out to grab the squad captain.
She grabbed his arm and pulled him back, making the burly man stagger.
Just then, Yun Jiao saw more soldiers entering through the door.
This ti, it wasn’t just a small team but a whole troop of over a hundred soldiers, all clad in black armor, clearly elite soldiers.
