The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 199 - 96: Journey to Yu Prefecture (17) Bai Mowan’s Arrival_4

Chapter 199: Chapter 96: Journey to Yu Prefecture (17) Bai Mowan’s Arrival_4

It’s good that you’re still alive and well!

"Mr. Pang, has the Bai Family army arrived yet?" Ye Qichi asked quickly and urgently.

"Not yet," Pang Nan said, "But they should be here soon. I will take you out now!"

"You came to rescue me?" Ye Qichi was somewhat surprised.

She hadn’t expected Pang Nan to risk his life to save her.

"Yes, Young Master Xiao is also outside," Pang Nan said, "Follow me!"

At this moment, he couldn’t care about anyone else; he had to focus on rescuing Ye Qichi first.

After all!

No one knew when the Bai Family army would come, nor how extensive the fire might become, and whether everyone trapped inside would be burned to death. His only choice now was to ensure Ye Qichi’s safety first.

Ye Qichi hesitated.

If she left.

There would definitely be chaos inside.

Once chaos ensued, many people would die.

But if she didn’t leave...

Indeed, she too was afraid of death.

She had narrowly survived since transmigrating into this book; she couldn’t disrespect life.

Just as she hesitated.

Pang Nan bluntly said, "Miss Ye, I beg your pardon!"

With that, Pang Nan pulled Ye Qichi, intending to leave with her.

"Mr. Pang!" Ye Qichi called out to him, "Wait for me a moment, just a quick one!"

In the end, she decided to leave first.

Not just to save her own life!

More importantly, to save everyone’s lives!

Pang Nan, seeing Ye Qichi’s urgency, quickly let go of her arm.

Actually, every additional moment they spent here added to the danger.

But Pang Nan was willing to respect her wishes!

Ye Qichi loudly told everyone, "I’m going to leave with Mr. Pang now. Don’t panic, everyone, follow the instructions I gave you earlier to protect yourselves! I will definitely come back to rescue you all!"

At that moment, everyone just stared straight at Ye Qichi.

"I promised to ensure that you would walk out of here safely, and I will make it happen!" Ye Qichi shouted, "You must believe in me!"

Ye Qichi didn’t have time to say much more to them.

Without waiting for a response, she turned and prepared to leave with Pang Nan.

As they were leaving, Xiao Xi’s voice suddenly rang out, "Sister, I will wait here for you, for you to come and save me, to save my father and mother, to save all of us!"

"Definitely!" Ye Qichi promised.

She turned and quickly left the temple with Pang Nan.

The fire was even fiercer at the entrance of the temple.

Pang Nan used his official robe to shield Ye Qichi, leading her through the blazing doorway; both of them were still caught by the flames.

"Roll on the ground to put it out!" Ye Qichi shouted to Pang Nan.

At the same time, she was frantically rolling on the ground herself.

Pang Nan also hurriedly fell to the ground and rolled, extinguishing the flames on his body.

Having put out the fire without a second’s delay, they both stood up and dashed straight towards the encircling soldiers.

Naturally, they didn’t rush towards Chen Hezhi’s side.

Pang Nan, with Ye Qichi in tow, headed in the direction farthest from Chen Hezhi. Though there were soldiers stationed there, they clearly were no match for Pang Nan.

Pang Nan cut down two soldiers and blew a whistle; a swift horse soon appeared in front of Pang Nan and Ye Qichi. With an effort, Pang Nan hoisted Ye Qichi onto the horse’s back, "Miss Ye, leave first!"

Then, with a fierce slap to the horse, the steed carried Ye Qichi away, galloping through the soldiers and off into the distance.

Xiao Jinxing just watched Ye Qichi’s figure from afar.

Ever since Pang Nan went in, his gaze had never shifted.

Pang Nan had stayed inside for a long time. Just as Xiao Jinxing feared that Ye Qichi might have encountered trouble, he finally saw them come out.

Two figures on fire emerged and frantically rolled on the ground.

Then, under the illumination of the firelight, he saw Ye Qichi being escorted away by Pang Nan.

After sending Ye Qichi away, Pang Nan did not return to his side, but re-entered the temple.

It has to be said.

Pang Nan is a good official.

For the people, he would disregard his own life.

For justice, he would disregard authority!

...

Ye Qichi was carried far away by the swift horse.

She did not let the horse stop, grabbing the reins and heading directly towards the Yuzhou City Gate.

Of course, it was not to flee for her life; she intended to do the most effective thing in the shortest time.

She rode the horse, accelerating the pace.

In the distance, it seemed she saw a line of cavalry.

"Whoa!" Ye Qichi brought the horse to a halt.

The cavalry approached closer and closer.

"Xiao Wu!" Ye Qichi called out to him loudly.

Clearly seeing who the man riding at the front in the night was.

Xiao Wu, hearing the voice, paused for a second.

He then increased his pace, swiftly moving towards Ye Qichi.

Seeing Ye Qichi clearly, Xiao Wu could not hide his excitement, "Princess, you’re not dead!"

"I’m not dead." Ye Qichi said, "Have the Bai Family’s troops arrived?!"

"Yes, a part of them! The Prince ordered me to lead a group of men into the city first. Luckily, official Pang had preemptively deployed troops at the city gate, so we didn’t take much time to break through the gate!" Xiao Wu spoke rapidly and urgently, "Princess, how did you come out? Didn’t Chen Hezhi plan to burn down the temple?! When Pang Nan passed the message to me, the Prince had me go find Pang Nan to delay Chen Hezhi’s arson, and then immediately I was to lead the elite troops of the Bai Family into the city! Originally, I was planning to rescue the Princess first, but the Prince..."

Xiao Wu immediately realized he had misspoken.

Too excited, he had forgotten his measure.

Ye Qichi, of course, also understood.

Xiao Wu had originally planned to rescue her, but Xiao Jinxing had refused.

Given the current situation, it was only natural for Xiao Jinxing to act this way. Saving her was certainly not as important as saving more of the people!

Moreover, this could potentially threaten him, making him the fall guy, so Xiao Jinxing would definitely prioritize self-preservation.

She could understand.

Yet, she still felt somewhat aggrieved.

The damn Prince, never one to give her any surprises.

Of course, she would not dwell on it either.

The most important thing now was to first rescue the people in the plague area.

She said, "Chen Hezhi has already set fire to the temple, I was rescued by Pang Nan risking his life."

"It must have been the Prince who ordered Pang Nan to rescue the Princess," Xiao Wu tried to make up for his earlier "betrayal" of Xiao Jinxing!

Definitely not.

If Xiao Jinxing hadn’t ordered Xiao Wu to rescue her, he certainly wouldn’t have ordered Pang Nan to do so either.

To Xiao Jinxing.

A capable, loyal, and useful good official is more important than her.

At least at this moment, Xiao Jinxing needs Pang Nan’s support, so he definitely wouldn’t have Pang Nan risk his life.

And if it was Xiao Jinxing who had ordered Pang Nan to come in to rescue her.

Pang Nan would have told her.

But he said not a word.

However, none of these mattered.

She spoke sternly, "The leader of the Bai Family’s troops this time is..." who?!

Before she could finish speaking.

Ye Qichi saw, riding towards her on a horse, Bai Mowan.

Dressed in armor, a valiant and dashing figure!
