How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space

Chapter 353: Reinforcements

Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan had already reached the gates of the camp; the Tazi’s city wall was earthen, but still had a large gate, where they were stopped by guards.

"Token."

Pei Shu’er took out the token she had previously found and handed it to the Tazi guards, who, after inspecting it, returned to their position and stopped blocking them.

At this moment, Tuoba Jun’s voice rang out.

"Wait a moment."

His eyes were filled with hatred; the figure ahead resembled Pei Shu’er closely.

The guards quickly gathered together, blocking Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan.

Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan could hardly afford to really wait; they had already arrived at this place.

Tang Zan lifted Pei Shu’er horizontally and then leaped over the city wall.

Beyond the gates, the Tazi and Dayan soldiers were engaged in battle, with the Dayan soldiers being thoroughly pressed to the ground.

Even though there were not many casualties, the overwhelming fighting stance implied eventual defeat.

Pei Shu’er noticed that the one commanding was Tang Peizhong, for it was only he who could be so adept. If it were someone else commanding such soldiers, given the glaring disparity in strength, they might have been defeated long ago.

His sights were fixed on the Tazi camp, and the moment he saw Tang Zan carrying Pei Shu’er flying out, though they were both in disguise, he immediately recognized them.

"Troops, protect these two!" Tang Peizhong’s voice boomed like a bell.

Before the Gulan Soldiers could reach Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan, thousands of Tazi swiftly surrounded them, leaving the soldiers helpless.

Tuoba Jun’s voice, filled with resentment, came from behind.

"I shall leave you with no burial grounds, Pei Shu’er, you must pay with your life for Qing Rou!"

Pei Shu’er responded loudly, "It was her own evil doing; I merely retaliated in kind."

Tuoba Jun roared, "Kill her for me!"

Even though trapped among thousands of troops, Tang Zan still held onto Pei Shu’er, shielding her behind him.

Tang Zan said, "Pei Shu’er, do not worry, we will be alright."

Just at that moment, the sky had already darkened completely, and muffled thunder echoed in their ears.

Pei Shu’er’s lips formed a bitter smile, how could it be alright, today was indeed her day of demise.

Even if the Tazi did nothing to her, she might still end up struck by thunder.

Although there were many Dayan soldiers, they were still unable to tackle the Tazi soldiers, only able to clash with those on the outskirts.

Yet, given the disparity in strength, they couldn’t even breach the outer defenses, let alone reach the inner layers.

Tang Peizhong grew somewhat anxious; Tang Zan currently could leap, but not far off were archers already taking aim.

Should he leap, he would undoubtedly become a target.

Yet these soldiers were truly lacking in quality; having perpetually insufficient food, where would strength come from?

The disadvantage continued to expand.

At this juncture, the Fifteenth Prince and Third Prince, each leading a troop, rushed towards them.

These men were guards trained from childhood, always at their side, each one an elite fighter.

Fifteenth Prince wore a face of reluctance; had it not been for Pei Shu’er saving his life, he wouldn’t want to come.

Hmph, if Pei Shu’er knew he came, she would surely be pleased.

Nonetheless, his gaze instinctively sought Pei Shu’er, failing to find her.

His brows furrowed tighter; might she have already been killed by the Tazi?

The Third Prince’s eyes were filled with urgency, scanning the crowd for Pei Shu’er’s figure.

However, he did not find her, only seeing two figures surrounded by the Tazi.

He felt that figure resembled Pei Shu’er closely, perhaps at present wearing the human skin mask Tang Zan had given her.

Yan Hengyin felt a pang in his heart, Pei Shu’er must be utterly scared, surrounded by so many enemies, one mistake, and she along with Tang Zan would be finished.

"Do not be afraid, Pei Shu’er, I am here; I will surely rescue you." Yan Hengyin hurriedly comforted.

Pei Shu’er’s expression remained indifferent, but Tang Zan’s aura around him grew even colder, his maneuvers against the Tazi became more ferocious.

Pei Shu’er thought, perhaps Tang Zan wanted to cut down Yan Hengyin, as the severed limbs and heads flying about seemed to be substituted in his stead.

The Tazi dared not approach, not expecting this man’s offensive to be so fierce.

Pei Shu’er’s approach was as usual, handing Tang Zan another water pouch.

After Tang Zan drank, his assault became even fiercer, achieving a stance where one man could hold against ten thousand.

Pei Shu’er was also exceedingly ferocious; although her height barely reached these men’s shoulders, she could still take their lives.

Her moves were simple, each threatening vital spots, either piercing the heart or severing the neck.

Not possessing Tang Zan’s immense stamina, she didn’t want to waste even a morsel of energy.

Each time the Tazi formed a siege to deal with the two, Tang Zan would always pull her, and together they would break through, disrupting the momentum.

For every formation, Tang Zan’s method of breaking through was direct: kill!

Once the people forming the formation were killed, the formation ceased to exist.

Moreover, the Tazi’s formation was quite simplistic, taught to them only after Tao Mingxuan arrived.

Killing and killing, Pei Shu’er suddenly realized Lin Fengying had joined in, cutting through the Tazi alongside Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan.

With the three slaying Tazi, an unobtrusive gap opened, though seemingly large, it was insignificant compared to the encirclement by thousands of Tazi.

At this moment, Pei Shu’er truly felt her previous actions had been wholly correct.

Fortunately, she had taken in Lin Fengying, earning her unwavering loyalty; otherwise, she might not have had such formidable comrades.

Thanks to Lin Fengying and Tang Zan, she hadn’t sustained injuries.

The Fifteenth Prince and Third Prince’s troops tore open a gap.

Tang Peizhong ordered the Dayan soldiers to merge with the Fifteenth Prince and Third Prince’s men, enlarging the gap.

Once breaking through the Tazi, Pei Shu’er’s hand was tugged slightly, and next she saw the Third Prince with reddened eyes.

His hands trembled slightly, as if frightened.

"Pei Shu’er, are you alright?"

Pei Shu’er shook her head, and before she could speak a word, Tang Zan pulled her away.

Tang Zan gritted his teeth at her, eyes brimming with warning.

"Pei Shu’er."

Pei Shu’er’s lips curved; indeed, her man was one to get jealous.

How could Pei Shu’er bear to let Tang Zan feel jealous?

She said a word of thanks, then ignored the Third Prince.

The Fifteenth Prince felt a bit aggrieved, "Hey, Pei Shu’er, I also saved you, how many of my men have been lost to save you, yet you don’t even thank me?"

Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, "And for saving you twice, having been betrayed by you together with Doctor Liu, how is that accounted for?"

Fifteenth Prince: "..."

Speaking of this, he recalled how foolish he had been back then.

Tang Zan said, "Hurry."

Pei Shu’er was just about to leave when suddenly she felt something and looked up to see a bolt of lightning heading her way.

Pei Shu’er promptly exclaimed, "Dodge."
