Your Highness Gets Disease

One, two … Flames were ignited one after another.

"Oh no, could it be that there's been another fire?"

The barbarian guards soon discovered these flames, given their previous experience of burning the granary.

"It's over, this direction seems to be towards the camp. Could it be that our camp is on fire?"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and put out the fire!"

It was unknown who shouted this out loud. Only then did these guards who were still in shock realize that they were going to extinguish the fire in the camp.

As a result, the number of guards that trapped the hidden guard were reduced by half.

"Leader, there's a fire at the camp …"

Acton's face darkened with anger when his trusted men reported the painful news.

"Dammit, this must be another underhanded technique that Qian Yexun used, last time he already used it, he already burnt my granary, and this time, he aimed at the camp, if I catch him, I will roast him into a pig!"

"The ones who put out the fire have gone to put out the fire, and those who captured the ambushers are still in the midst of fighting to the death with them …" It was a mess in the camp.

"Don't worry about the fire at the other side of the camp. Since someone has already gone to put out the fire, what we need to do now is to find the culprit and capture him. They set fire to the camp and undoubtedly, they want to lead away some of the guards so that they can have a chance to escape, but I will not give them the chance to escape like this!"

Perhaps the guards below could not see through this trick, but Acton could see through it at a glance.

Acton himself led the men, not to the fire, but to the place where they were still fighting.

The fact that the leader had personally come had undoubtedly increased the confidence and capital of the barbarian guards.

At this time, the four hidden guard s also noticed the big fire at the other side of the camp.

The fire was not small. The people who could cause such a commotion must be their own people or their masters.

Originally, they had agreed to follow the signal detonator. Once the signal went up to the sky, it would be the time for them to quickly retreat. But now, the signal had yet to arrive …

Just at this moment, there was a boom and an even brighter stream of light rushed up into the sky. It was the flare that had been set off.

This was the signal to retreat. The four hidden guard s quickly retreated backwards before the barbarian guards could react, wanting to retreat to a safe distance.

"They want to escape! Catch them! Do not let them escape!"

The four hidden guard s wore identical night attire. Even their heads were wrapped in black cloth cloth s.

As for Ban Xia, the woman, she was nowhere to be seen.

Acton had a strong suspicion. "Could it be that these four men were only his men, and he himself was not here at all? If not, where could he hide with a woman with shackles on her feet?"

He once again cast his doubtful gaze in the direction of the tent that was still filled with fire and wind behind him.

The situation was even more chaotic than here. If those two were mixed in, wouldn't it be easy to be exposed?

"Not good, I've been tricked!"

Now Acton was sure that the key person he wanted to capture was hidden in the crowd of men who had brought water to put out the fire.

"Quick, follow me!" After Qian Yexun released the signal, he quickly pulled Ban Xia and retreated to the other side.

The range of his feet was too big, Ban Xia did not control it well for a moment, and the cuffs on his feet made an untimely and clear sound as they collided with each other.

The sound of shackles would reveal their identities.

Fortunately, no one around them was paying attention to them. The sound of the fire extinguishing and loud footsteps could be heard, masking any suspicious sounds.

Just as Ban Xia let out a sigh of relief and was about to retreat with Qian Yexun, they bumped into the most difficult and strongest person to deal with.

Perhaps no one else in the barbarian guard noticed the sound of the shackles, but Acton's ears were sharper than ever.

If he could find the voice, he could find the person he was looking for.

Therefore, he didn't do anything else along the way but prick up his ears and carefully listen to the sounds around him.

"Halt!"

Qian Yexun's body stiffened as he silently cursed. He had almost escaped the attack, but how could he get hit and destroyed by Acton?

It was all caused by the shackles.

Ban Xia's palms were already sweating from nervousness, so Qian Yexun's fingers moved slightly, signalling her not to panic. At a time like this, what they needed the most was to be calm.

"Leader, aren't these two our people?" His trusted subordinates asked doubtfully when they saw the way they were dressed, since it was clear that they were on the same side as him.

"No, they're not." Acton went straight to the point and ordered, "Someone, arrest them both!"

The heavens had helped him to finally find these two people.

This time, not only was she unable to escape, she had also dragged Qian Yexun down with her.

Once they were captured and heavily guarded, there would probably be no chance for them to escape.

A few barbarian guards had already surrounded Qian Yexun and the others.

Qian Yexun was never the kind of master who would surrender without holding back. Those people could not even get near him, and whoever dared to get close to him and Ban Xia, he would immediately kick them with his feet, and the longsword in his hands would also be as fast as a shadow.

Acton, who had been enduring for a long time, joined in.

He was the most valiant king of the barbarian race.

"When we fight later, you won't be able to move. You only need to hide, as long as they don't catch you, can you do it?"

Right now, what Qian Yexun was most worried about was not whether he could defeat Acton, but the safety of this woman, Ban Xia.

She had heavy shackles on her feet, which greatly restricted her movements and prevented her from using her full power.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be careful." In order to not drag Qian Yexun down, Ban Xia indifferently replied.

Each of his moves went straight for Qian Yexun's vital points. At the same time Qian Yexun dodged, he also launched an attack.

The two strong men were filled with flashes and flashes of swords. It was difficult to determine the victor in a short period of time.

"Catch her!"

Some of the barbarian guards saw that Ban Xia was a woman, with shackles restricting her movements. They thought she was the easiest one to deal with, so they pointed their swords at her.

Ban Xia snatched away the long sword in the hands of one of the guards, since Qian Yexun couldn't take care of himself right now, he could only think of a way to protect herself.

Although the shackles were still on his feet, his hands were still free.

At a time like this, if he didn't go all out, how could he possibly go all out?

"Since you dare to barge into my camp, then, just wait for your death!" Acton's monstrous anger turned into a sharp attack.

He wanted his strength to prove that he was stronger than this man!

"It's still too early to come to a conclusion on whether or not he's courting death!" Seeing that Ban Xia had recovered his fighting strength, Qian Yexun concentrated on facing off against his opponent.

Both of their martial arts were on par with each other, so when experts fought, they couldn't afford to be distracted.

The shackles on Ban Xia's legs, when moving, produced a dull sound. These sounds, could not help but distract Qian Yexun.

He was distracted, and Acton gained the upper hand.

Ban Xia was not facing the attacks of two barbarians. Five or six barbarians attacked her at the same time.

Shi Mu hadn't noticed that a barbarian had made a big cut on her back. The flesh and blood inside her body had been cut open.

The smell of blood in the air made Qian Yexun even more worried.

Was he going to give up the chance to fight one on one and save his woman, or was he going to leave his woman alone to deal with the troubles around him? Was he going to stay and deal with Acton?

For others, this might be a difficult choice.

But to Qian Yexun, this was not really a choice.

Because, to him, Ban Xia's safety had always been at the top of his list. Nothing was more important than the safety of his woman.

Under the heavens, no woman could be more important than the emperor of this world.

If he was not distracted and focused on dealing with Acton, the final result would be him defeating Acton and making Acton his defeated opponent. This glory would naturally shake the entire continent.

But if he had to pay the price, it would be losing his woman.

In that case, he would rather not have this honor.

A few long swords pointed straight at Ban Xia, causing Ban Xia's footsteps to become unstable, the huge consumption of energy made her feel weak.

The danger was approaching. If she could not avoid these swords this time, then what awaited her would be the tragic consequences of having her chest pierced by a few swords.

Even if he didn't die, he would at least lose half his life.

Qian Yexun's sword thrust did not reach Acton. Instead, he turned around and stabbed towards the barbarian guards.

He was going to save his woman!

Since he was here, he definitely couldn't allow his woman to be harmed in the slightest.

Otherwise, he would never forgive himself.

Clang! The long sword in the barbarian guards' hands was sent flying by the hilt of Qian Yexun's sword. The weapon flew out from their hands and landed on the ground nearby.

"Ban Xia, how are you?" Qian Yexun reached out to pull his woman, and pulled her into his embrace.

His worry was all clearly written on his face. Ban Xia was moved for a moment, she opened her mouth, but was unable to say anything.

"Don't worry. With me here, I definitely won't let anyone hurt you."

They were clearly still in danger, but with his words, Ban Xia was actually not afraid at all.

"You seem to have deep feelings for me. I just don't know if you can still be so loving on the Road to River Styx." The love and closeness of the two men stung Acton's eyes.

He had done all he could to capture this woman and bring her back to his camp. He had wanted to directly turn her into his woman, but who knew that this woman would rather die than follow him.
