Chapter 367

She quickly pushed back the hot potato in her hand. "Such an important thing, I don't want it; your situation is more dangerous than mine, so keep it for yourself!"

Zongzheng Yun, however, insisted and stuffed it to her.

"If I tell you to keep it, keep it. I have people protecting me, it's fine. Actually, if I really encounter an assassination, distant water cannot save near fire, so it's not very useful."

Du Ruo had no choice but to accept it.

Her heart was warm.

You know, this was not an ordinary object, but a tiger tally that could mobilize troops!

For a prince, its importance was self-evident.

Zongzheng Yun, however, gave it to her without hesitation...

Right!

Du Ruo suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pretended to be looking for something in her sleeve, exchanging for an emergency kit from the system.

"Inside are ten detox pills, five hemostatic medicines, five bone-knitting plasters, and a bag of poison that can make people unconscious. They are all marked; carry them with you just in case."

Zongzheng Yun took it and placed it solemnly on his chest.

Outside, Long Dan's voice came in. "Master, it's getting late; it's time to set off."

Both stood up at the same time.

Zongzheng Yun stared at Du Ruo's face, his eyes full of reluctance. "After this departure, I'm afraid it will be a long time before we meet again... Tangtang, can you give me a farewell hug?"

Du Ruo opened her mouth.

However, before she could speak, her body was pulled into a warm embrace.

"Tangtang, really don't consider going back to the capital with me?" Zongzheng Yun asked again, unwilling to give up.

Du Ruo patted his back and teased: "What, afraid I'll be harmed by others?"

She smiled and comforted him: "Rest assured, I am very powerful; ordinary people can't kill me. Besides, there is Jiang Li; he will definitely protect me."

Jiang Li, Jiang Li, only Jiang Li in her heart and eyes...

Zongzheng Yun hummed gloomily. "Alright, I know you can't leave him, so I won't force you. Anyway, remember, if one day Jiang Li falls in love with another woman, or dares to abuse you, and you really can't go on, just tell me, and I will come to pick you up myself, do you know?"

Du Ruo laughed.

Xiao Chuan was truly worthy of being the most reliable maternal family member, paving the way for her so early.

But how could that be? Jiang Li had sworn that he would treat her well for a lifetime.

She was about to push Zongzheng Yun away.

Bang!

Suddenly a loud noise.

The canopy overhead exploded, falling apart.

The two people's figures were instantly exposed to others.

Immediately after, the sound of breaking through the air sounded from all directions, turning into more than a dozen sharp black shadows, rushing fiercely toward Zongzheng Yun.

Zongzheng Yun's expression changed in horror, and he quickly pulled Du Ruo behind him.

At the same time, Long Dan gave a loud shout, jumped up, and with Zongzheng Yun and Du Ruo as the core, rolled up a sky full of blade flowers, forcing back the first wave of attacks.

"Ziyu, call for help!" He shouted sternly.

Ziyu rolled on the ground, narrowly dodging a hungry tiger's heart-gouging attack from a man in black.

Then she quickly took out a signal tube from her waist, pulled the fuse, and threw it hard into the air.

Hiss, accompanied by a sharp screech, a red flame shot into the sky.

On the road a few miles away, hundreds of iron cavalry turned their heads in unison, looking at the dazzling light, their expressions all changing.

The leader pulled the reins hard. "Assassins, protect the master!"

Hundreds of horses raised their front hooves, roared to the sky, sprayed hot breath from their nostrils, and galloped toward the place of the flame.

And over there, cold sweat seeped from Long Dan's dark face.

Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, there were too many opponents, and they were all good hands. With his own strength, even if he used his own flesh to block, it would be of no use.

Ziyu was even worse.

Her kung fu could only barely protect herself.

As for the Du Clan, an ordinary woman who had no power to truss a chicken, it would be a blessing if she didn't drag the master down.

Sigh, if he had known, he wouldn't have listened to the master and transferred the guard team away, saying that there were too many eyes and ears, and he was worried about being seen by others that the Du Clan had gotten into his carriage, which would be bad for her reputation.

Now it was good; he didn't know if the reputation was bad or not, but he was afraid he couldn't even save his life.

Clearly, he had cleared the scene before; where did these assassins pop out from?

He only hoped that the guard team could be faster, faster!

Otherwise, something big would happen!

The assassins seemed to hear the roar of the earth and knew that Zongzheng Yun's savior would arrive soon, so their offensive became more and more fierce.

There were eighteen of them in total, ten of whom held back Long Dan, and two were entangled with Ziyu.

And the other six went toward Zongzheng Yun and Du Ruo.

Zongzheng Yun didn't know martial arts.

Facing so many experts, his handsome face was tight, but he didn't flinch, just firmly blocked Du Ruo with his own body and asked coldly: "Who sent you?"

The men in black looked at each other; with masks on, they couldn't see the expressions on their faces.

But there was obvious contempt in the eyes of several people.

One of them laughed: "It is said that the Prince of Yu is clean and doesn't get close to women; it turns out it was all faked. With the enemy in front, he still has the heart to cherish the jade, it seems he wants to be a ghost under the peony flower."

"Since that is the case, then fulfill you!"

After speaking, three of them raised the long swords in their hands and stabbed fiercely at Zongzheng Yun.

Long Dan, who was fighting with the assassins, saw this scene and was scared out of his wits, roaring heartbreakingly: "Master!"

Ziyu also ignored her own safety, stumbling over, wanting to protect Zongzheng Yun with her own body.

But she was kicked away by the others.

Seeing that Zongzheng Yun was about to die on the spot, at this critical moment, it was said that it was too late, and a handful of powder was thrown from behind him without warning, hitting the faces of the three people.

The three people's movements stalled.

In an instant, intense pain came from their eyeballs, as if a karmic fire was burning inside.

A moment later, the pain spread to the whole body.

Like ten thousand insects gnawing.

Ten thousand arrows piercing the heart.

"Ah!!!"

The three screamed in unison, fell to the ground, and rolled in pain, soon becoming silent.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden change.

Even Zongzheng Yun turned back to look at Du Ruo, his face full of disbelief.

Du Ruo pulled him behind her. "Hide, I'll come!"
