I insist

Chapter 456: Save My Life

"Master, be careful."

The guards quickly grabbed Du Chun'an and hurriedly reminded him.

Du Chun'an stopped in time. He looked down and saw that there was a cliff below. They had reached a dead end.

"They've caught up, we can't get through now." The guards blocked Du Chun'an's path, looking warily at the approaching people.

Du Chun'an also turned around and looked over. He gripped his sword tightly, then walked in front of the guards and looked at the people chasing after him with a blank expression.

The guards were surprised that Du Chun'an would stand in front of them.

“Since we can’t escape anyway, we might as well just go all out.” Du Chun’an turned to look at them: “What do you think?”

The guards nodded: "Then let's go all out. Even if we die, let's die honorably."

The man in black had caught up with them. Seeing them stop, he drew his sword and charged at them.

Having made up their minds to fight, Du Chun'an and his men drew their swords and resisted.

Although Du Chun'an was a great general, his martial prowess was no match for these men in black, and he was soon forced to the edge of a cliff.

The guards had been watching his situation closely. When they saw that he was about to fall off the cliff, they shouted in great concern, "Master!"

"Don't worry about me, just protect your own lives and try to escape!" Du Chun'an shouted at the guards.

Du Chun'an was injured during the fight, and he is now exhausted and has nowhere to run.

He felt that he should die here.

Just when he thought he was doomed, a group of people suddenly appeared and ruthlessly killed all the men in black without any hesitation.

Du Chun'an and the guards looked at them in surprise, wanting to see who had saved them.

However, he fell into a coma due to the severity of his injuries and had no way of knowing who it was.

The guard, recovering from his shock, looked at Du Chun'an and asked nervously, "Master, Master."

When the people who rescued them saw that Du Chun'an was unconscious, they said, "Take them all back and treat their injuries properly. Our master is still waiting."

"Who are you people? Why did you save us?"

Although they rescued Du Chun'an and a few others, they still maintained their vigilance, wondering whose people these people actually worked for.

The man coldly replied to the guards' words, "You'll soon find out. We're here to rescue you. If you don't want to leave..."

We won't force you, but the people who assassinated you should find out soon. How long do you think you can last carrying a seriously wounded person?

The guard glanced down at Du Chun'an, knowing they were in grave danger and their only chance of survival was to listen to the man who had saved them.

Even if they have ulterior motives, that's a matter for later.

The bodyguards eventually followed the group, probably to protect them. The bodyguards scouted ahead and kept watching to see if there were any pursuers.

They protected the group of people in the middle.

Soon, they returned to the capital. After the people who had rescued them made arrangements for them, they turned and left, leaving only a doctor to treat their injuries.

After those who had rescued Du Chun'an returned, they dispersed. One of them went to the study to find his master.

"Master, Du Chun'an has been rescued. You guessed right, there were indeed people chasing them, but it has all been dealt with. Du Chun'an is currently recuperating in the manor."

After he finished speaking, the guard saw his master slowly raise his head, and there was Yu Huailin's face.

It was Yu Huailin who saved Du Chun'an.

After listening to the guard's words, Yu Huailin nodded: "I understand. Have the doctor treat his injuries properly. We must keep Du Chun'an alive; he is of great use."

"Understood, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Yu Huailin was naturally aware of Du Chun'an's condition. The doctor told him that Du Chun'an would wake up soon, so he went to check on him.

Du Chun'an's bodyguards simply bandaged their own wounds and then stayed by Du Chun'an's side, fearing that those who had saved them might do something.

When Yu Huailin appeared, they immediately understood who had saved them, and they were also a little surprised.

Seeing the guards' surprised expressions, Yu Huailin showed no change in expression. Instead, he went straight into the room and sat down to wait.

Just after Yu Huailin finished drinking a pot of tea, Du Chun'an finally woke up. He quickly sat up and looked around.

He didn't see his own bodyguards, but instead saw Yu Huailin, which surprised him.

“If you move any faster, your wound will reopen, and then your cause of death will change; you will bleed to death,” Yu Huailin said slowly and deliberately.

Du Chun'an covered his wound and whispered, "You saved me? Why did you save me?"

"Why can't I save you?" Yu Huailin put down his teacup and looked at Du Chun'an with a half-smile.

Du Chun'an suddenly remembered the people who had saved them. They were highly skilled in martial arts, even the emperor's secret guards were no match for them. This made him realize that they had underestimated the man in front of them.

"We were really blind. You're the most capable one. We underestimated you," Du Chun'an said directly.

Yu Huailin said softly, "This is just a way for me to save my life. You don't need to say that. But I did hear something..."

You've been investigating the Empress Dowager's death, haven't you? I happen to have some evidence here; do you need it?

Du Chun'an had already witnessed his abilities, so he wasn't surprised at all that Yu Huailin knew about what he was investigating.

"You actually know the cause of the Empress Dowager's death? Then why didn't you reveal it sooner?" Du Chun'an questioned loudly.

Yu Huailin looked at him with amusement: "Why would I take it out? This has nothing to do with me."

"Then why did you save me? Do you have some ulterior motive? Let me tell you, you won't succeed, and I won't help you."

Du Chun'an spoke directly, saying that Yu Huailin was a prince, and he could guess what he wanted him to do.

Yu Huailin raised an eyebrow: "You're being so absolute. Since that's the case, you probably don't want to go back to the Empress Dowager's cause of death. In that case, I won't give it to you."

But today the Emperor has sent his secret guards to kill you. Are you sure you don't want to know the truth?

Du Chun'an looked at Yu Huailin's smiling face and frowned. Of course he wanted to know who the murderer was. He was sure it was the Emperor, but he had no evidence.

He hadn't expected Yu Huailin to provide him with evidence, but he hesitated when he thought about what Yu Huailin was going to do.

He wasn't in a hurry, so he sat there patiently waiting for Du Chun'an to speak.
