The battle was imminent.
Jiang Tao no longer saw the Eldest Princess using her weapon.
What Long Xinghe held in her hand now was a short knife.
She wasn't very good at using a sword; after all, she wasn't a proper ancient person.
She didn't know why Chu Qianli could learn such excellent martial arts, but as a fellow transmigrator, she had only learned martial arts for a few months.
Her internal energy was weak, and her sword energy was also weak. It was better to use a knife.
She could only fight in close combat!
In a moment of carelessness, a wound was cut on her arm.
"How dare you!" Jiang Tao exclaimed, his face turning anxious. He immediately raised his sword to shield Long Xinghe.
"She is Her Majesty the Empress's only biological daughter! Even if His Majesty ordered her arrest, he wouldn't truly want to take his own daughter's life!"
"Whoever injures the Eldest Princess today, when she and His Majesty reconcile, you will surely face a death sentence!"
Upon hearing this, everyone indeed hesitated.
Just moments ago, seeing the Eldest Princess kill Consort An had shocked them all.
But now, reminded of this, they finally recalled that the Eldest Princess was His Majesty's only daughter.
Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. Now, in anger, they wanted to eliminate the Eldest Princess, but who knew if His Majesty would regret it once his anger subsided and he calmed down?
When His Majesty remembered the Eldest Princess's good deeds and wanted his daughter back, those guards who had injured or even killed the Eldest Princess would absolutely not have a good outcome.
At this, the guards no longer dared to attack Long Xinghe.
Instead, they launched a more fierce assault on Jiang Tao and his men.
"Eldest Princess, go back and guard them, protect yourself. Leave this place to me!" Jiang Tao urged anxiously.
Long Xinghe felt a surge of frustration within her.
If her martial arts were as formidable as Chu Qianli's, she could also fight alongside her people now!
But as it was, she could only watch her brothers bleed rivers!
Long Xinghe leaped up, instantly retreating several steps.
Looking at her brothers still fighting valiantly, she shouted, "You are all my loyal brothers. If we survive today, from now on, you will all be my most trusted men!"
Her brothers' fighting spirit soared. Even those who were injured gripped their long swords tighter and continued to fight!
"What I owe you, I will repay tenfold in the future!"
It had to be said that Long Xinghe was definitely a general who knew how to win people's hearts.
These words, upon reaching the ears of every brother, immediately boosted their morale!
She was the noble Eldest Princess. Regardless of whether she would truly have the opportunity to repay the Eldest Princess in the future,
At least for now, the Eldest Princess was sincerely grateful to them.
For the sake of this gratitude, even if they died in battle, it would be worth it!
"Brothers, we swear to protect the Princess!" Jiang Tao said solemnly.
The guards of the Princess's mansion gritted their teeth and shouted, "We swear to protect the Princess!"
Long Xinghe had already retreated behind the battle line. Seeing her brothers fall one by one, injured, yet still fighting with all their might, her eyes couldn't help but well up with emotion.
If they didn't die today, then in the future, they would all be her good brothers.
These words were definitely not just spoken in vain!
Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned, and rushed towards the west wing courtyard.
The courtyard was surrounded by her Fusang ninjas; this was the last line of defense for the Princess's mansion.
However, the Imperial Guards were too numerous, and some had already broken through.
Although her ninjas were formidable, some were still injured and fell, dying under the indiscriminate blades.
Long Xinghe quickly rushed to the entrance of the sleeping quarters.
Tie Xin still held his long sword, guarding the door.
The Imperial Guards had not yet reached this area.
"Eldest Princess..." Tie Xin didn't know the exact situation outside, but he could guess that it must be extremely urgent.
Long Xinghe glanced at him, then opened the door.
Tie Xin wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
Initially, Tie Xin had considered this Eldest Princess an enemy.
But she had repeatedly risked her life for the Prince.
To be honest, Tie Xin now trusted her greatly.
Differences in political views were merely because they served different masters, not a reflection of the person's character.
At least in terms of protecting the Prince, the Eldest Princess was sincere.
Long Xinghe walked in. Inside, the smell of blood was strong.
Her heart suddenly tightened again, filled with immense pain.
But at this moment, she was completely helpless.
She didn't even dare to approach the screen half a step.
She only dared to stand far away at the doorway, afraid that her presence would introduce any bacteria to Wuya.
But she was truly out of options.
"A'Li, I'm out of bullets!" she said hoarsely, not daring to raise her voice.
Chu Qianli had said her bullets were inexhaustible. She didn't know how Chu Qianli managed it.
But now, she could only rely on him.
Chu Qianli was still performing surgery on Feng Wuya, and the surgery was at a critical juncture. She couldn't move carelessly.
Long Xinghe knew this very well, so she could only stand quietly by the door and wait.
Waiting for Chu Qianli to spare a moment to toss the bullets to her.
This wait lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Suddenly, with a "pa" sound, something finally landed outside the screen.
A bullet box! It was the kind Chu Qianli used to use, containing at least five rows of bullet clips!
She did indeed have a lot of bullets on her!
"Thank you!" Long Xinghe immediately went to pick up the bullets and turned to leave.
From behind, Chu Qianli's low, husky voice came, "My bullets are not inexhaustible. Last time, I lied to you. Use them sparingly!"
Long Xinghe paused for a moment. She had actually known that inexhaustible was impossible.
She replied softly, "I know! Thank you!"
She immediately went out the door, leaped up, and landed on the rooftop.
Chu Qianli had a tiny bit of distraction.
This Long Xinghe, whether in leading troops in war or in learning ability, was exceptionally skilled.
Being her senior sister was certainly not for ordinary people.
She just lacked her own good fortune and had received the internal energy of many people; otherwise, she would undoubtedly be a top master now.
However, one thing was certain: Long Xinghe was an absolute marksman.
In an instant, Chu Qianli withdrew her thoughts.
"Ye Xuan, don't stop the internal energy. You must protect his heart meridians."
Feng Ye Xuan closed his eyes and nodded, "Mmm."
Inside the room, it was quiet.
Outside, however, killing intent filled the air.
Quite a few Imperial Guards had still managed to break in.
The surrounding Fusang ninjas were also beginning to fall.
Long Xinghe loaded the bullets into her gun. Although the bullet models were slightly different, because she and Chu Qianli had basically fought together,
Their weapons, whether handguns or bullets, even with slight model differences, the bullets were definitely interchangeable.
With a "pa" sound, the bullet was chambered!
Tie Xin below was about to draw his sword to meet the approaching Imperial Guards, but suddenly, a "bang" rang out.
A large bloody hole appeared on the guard's forehead, and he fell with a thud.
