Chapter 237 - 237 237 Human Debt(3)_1

?Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Human Debt(3)_1 Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Human Debt(3)_1 “Young master, you should leave first.” The number of men in black seemed to be increasing, and gradually, Qiaoqiao and Lin Ziyin were beginning to struggle. Qiaoqiao was also starting to worry.

At this moment, Lin Ziyin somewhat regretted her bold impulse earlier. If the people she had brought with her were injured, she would feel even worse. After all, she wasn’t particularly well-acquainted with the people she had rescued.

To let those who followed her be hurt for the sake of strangers really was a bad bargain.

“Miss, be careful.” Qiaoqiao noticed a man in black sneaking up on Lin Ziyin. She wanted to rush over to help, but her enemy had her entangled. Feeling anxious, she immediately called out a warning.

Jue Ming was a little too far from Lin Ziyin to help, and it was too late by the time he realized.

Lin Ziyin wielded her sword to fend off the attack, but the enemy’s force was too strong and sent her sword flying.

“You really have bad luck.” At the critical moment, Si Jinhan appeared out of nowhere.

Showing no sympathy for the fairer sex, he picked up Lin Ziyin with one hand and plunged headlong into battle.

There were also twenty guards around Si Jinhan. These well-trained soldiers joining the fight greatly relieved the pressure on the battlefield.

It wasn’t long before many of the men in blacks were lying on the ground. The few remaining blew a whistle and immediately fled on horseback as they saw the situation going south.

Batu wanted to chase after them, but Alhatu stopped him.

When a calmer Alhatu saw Si Jinhan, his eyes tightened. Then, when he looked at Lin Ziyin, his gaze became much deeper.

“You really know how to stir up trouble. Even going shopping at the market could get you tangled up with fierce bandits,” Si Jinhan joked.

“If you think I’m enjoying this! Weren’t you supposed to go to the market with me? Once we were there, I couldn’t find you anywhere,” Lin Ziyin retorted.

“You’re right, it’s my fault.” Si Jinhan spoke a bit louder, his eyes slantingly focusing on Alhatu.

Alhatu recognized he had been identified by Si Jinhan. Batu was once again tense, fearing that Si Jinhan would start a fight with them.

“Now that we’ve done our shopping, perhaps it’s time to head back?” Si Jinhan didn’t specifically point out their identities, but he talked with Lin Ziyin.

“We are grateful for your life-saving assistance, young master, and we’ll definitely repay you in the future.” Alhatu generously bowed and said in thanks.

“Oh please, you still have to see if you can even make it home,” Lin Ziyin dismissed him with a wave of her hand, considering it obvious that those men had been after the Tatars who were close at hand.

“Be careful.” A guard warned loudly.

Si Jinhan and others immediately got ready as they saw a row of dense arrows flying towards them.

Everyone swiftly used their weapons to deflect the incoming arrows.

Lin Ziyin, without a sword in her hand, clenched her fists in regret. She felt like she was the bearer of bad news, and the enemies were making a sudden counterattack.

“Dodge.” Lin Ziyin’s horse got spooked and started to spin, kicking up its hooves.

Lin Ziyin only managed to pull the reins, forgetting to dodge the flying arrow, which was aiming straight at her heart.

Si Jinhan spotted this, immediately swung himself onto her horse, and pulled her to hang on the side of the horse as the arrow whizzed past his arm.

“Utterly useless.” After escaping the danger, Si Jinhan and she settled back onto the horse. The loquacious young master didn’t forget to tease her.

“You’re injured?” Lin Ziyin was about to retort but saw his bleeding arm, immediately replacing her harsh words with concern.

“Yes, injured for your sake. How do you plan to repay me?” Si Jinhan didn’t seem particularly concerned about his wounded arm but used the opportunity to continue to tease her.
