Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 365

Since the corpse was gone, Yun Shang just searched around the yard but didn't find anything. She had no choice but to leave. She finished her dinner and hurried out of the palace.

When they were halfway to the mansion, Yun Shang heard a sharp whistle, which was usually used to send signal. As soon as the whistle disappeared, the voice of the coachman came from outside. "Your Highness, we are surrounded."

How audacious! Yun Shang sneered, picked up the jade flute in her sleeve, and blew. Then there was a laughter outside, "is your highness calling on the secret guards? Unfortunately, lady jing's guards were lured away by our trap. They have returned to your mansion."

No one answered.

Yun Shang frowned and thought, 'the man outside the carriage knows there are secret guards around me all the time. He is really brave to transfer the secret guards away.' Thinking of that, Yun Shang lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside, surrounded by several masked men in black with a young man in the lead.

Noticing that Yun Shang was looking at him, the man raised his eyebrows and said, "I've heard that you are also good at fighting. But I'm not sure whether you can escape from me alone."

Yun Shang smiled, "thank you for your concern. I don't know how I have offended you."

"I'm just a knife in the master's hand and it doesn't matter who I am. Do you want to chat with me and delay the time? Hope your secret guard can notice something wrong and come back to save you?" The man smiled while speaking. "My master said you are as scheming as Prince Jing. Don't bother."

Yun Shang squinted. This man was so smart. She wondered who his master was, and if she had the chance, it would be worth meeting. Everyone thought she was weak and harmless, but there were always people keeping guard against her as if she was a dangerous person. That was interesting.

"Guys, although this woman is beautiful, her master ordered us not to keep her alive. Go!" Hardly had his voice faded away, a group of men in black surrounded them. Yun Shang drew the dagger from her boot and charged at the leader.

The man sneered and raised his sword to meet Yun Shang. They fought fiercely. Yun Shang knew she must have underestimated her enemy. The man had great strength. When he raised the sword, her hand holding the dagger was numb.

The coachman behind them also quickly drew his sword to block the attacks of other men in black. "Your Highness, find an opportunity to run away. There are too many people. We can't stop them."

Yun Shang knew that, but she did not had a chance to run away. The man in black was pressing, and she could only try to avoid him, looking with her eyes wide open in search of a way to run away. But because she was in the palace just now, she was wearing a long and sleeved dress, which was a little tiring for her to fight. Seeing the man's sword coming at her arm, Yun Shang made up her mind and bumped into it. Before the man could take the sword back, she stabbed the dagger into his belly hardly.

The man was hurt and his hands holding the sword loosened a little. Yun Shang's eyes lit up. She saw a small hole in the besieging people around, so she quickly drew the dagger and rushed towards the hole, and after a few steps, she ran into an alley.

Hearing footsteps coming from behind, Yun Shang quickly turned a few corners and ran into an alley nearby, with her hand covering the wound on her shoulder.

As soon as she entered the alley, she saw a man in cyan standing at the gate of a yard and opening the door, as if he had just come back from outside. Yun Shang gritted her teeth and dashed forward two steps before the man in cyan, pulling him in with her and closing the door heavily. At the moment of closing the door, she let him go. Her hand then locked the door.

Yun Shang sensed that the man's body got stiff for a moment. She quickly said, "I'm sorry. I was chased. Please let me get in here to dodge them."
