Chapter 368

Looking at Du Ruo's calm and composed posture, and the few corpses lying on the ground bleeding from seven orifices, a chill rose from the tailbones of the assassins, rushing straight to the top of their heads.

What happened?

Isn't this woman the Prince of Yu's mistress? Looking delicate, her methods are actually so powerful!

By her ear, the sound of the guard team's horseshoes was getting closer.

The assassins hardened their hearts.

Forget it, go.

As dead soldiers, the mission was their mission; let alone facing a poisonous woman, even if it were an abyss, they were only allowed to enter, not to retreat!

The leading man in black waved his hand, and two subordinates rushed toward Zongzheng Yun and Du Ruo again.

Du Ruo curled her lips coldly.

Well done, I was afraid you wouldn't come!

She turned her palm, and a micro-crossbow appeared in her palm at some point. Du Ruo raised her arm, set the crossbow on her arm, and then squinted one eye to aim.

When they entered the range, she immediately pulled the trigger.

Whoosh whoosh!

Two poison needles shot into the flesh of the two unlucky ones with lightning speed. The two assassins looked down at the same time, looking at the feathers still trembling slightly at the tail of the needles, and froze in place instantly.

The next moment, they fell backward straight.

Then their necks tilted, and they died.

Seeing this scene, the leading man in black's pupils shook, and the assassins fighting with Long Dan were also heartbroken, being taken advantage of by Long Dan to kill one.

Ziyu had already lost her fighting ability, and the two men in black dealing with her were too lazy to care about her; after all, the target wasn't her.

They turned and ran over to join their boss.

The three exchanged glances, seemingly plotting something. A moment later, the leading man in black let out a sinister laugh: "Little girl, you're quite poisonous, you have some skills. It's a pity that they are all scary toys, only effective at close range. Once you are far away, who can you kill?"

Du Ruo's eyelashes trembled.

Damn, the other party discovered the flaw so quickly.

It was indeed as the man in black said; the poison powder didn't need to be mentioned, it was only effective within two meters; and because of the crossbow, the poison needles had a longer range, but they were too light, and with the tail wings, plus the influence of wind and turbulence, they could only reach five or six meters at most.

And she could only fire two poison needles at a time. In the gap of her filling, I'm afraid people had already killed their way over.

Du Ruo was a bit uneasy, but she didn't show any fear on her face, even smiling. "Is that so? If you're not afraid of death, you can try."

Now the only thing she could do was delay time and wait for rescue.

The man in black seemed confident, didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out two gold darts from his waist, shooting them toward Du Ruo's throat!

If this hit, Du Ruo's throat would have two big holes on the spot.

But what could she do?

She didn't know martial arts, couldn't catch them, and couldn't dodge them.

Besides waiting for death, it was waiting for death.

Du Ruo sighed secretly, closed her eyes unwillingly, and waited for the arrival of the god of death.

Just at this time, Zongzheng Yun behind her suddenly hugged her, rotated 180 degrees on the spot, used his tall body as a shield, and held her firmly in his arms.

"Xiao Chuan!"

Du Ruo's eyes turned red in an instant.

Hadn't she said it many times? No matter the situation, always put yourself first!

This fool!

She was both angry and pained, wanting to push Zongzheng Yun away, but found that her hands were shaking violently, and her body seemed to have lost all strength, her mind full of the terrifying image of Zongzheng Yun covered in blood.

For a moment, she couldn't break free no matter what.

Only tears couldn't stop sliding down her cheeks, wuwuwu...

"Alright, Host, stop crying, he's fine." In her mind, the system really couldn't watch anymore.

Du Ruo stopped suddenly.

Fine?

How could that be?

Could it be that the rescue arrived??

Du Ruo's heart was happy, her body finally regained strength, and then she pushed Zongzheng Yun away, checked him up and down first, confirmed that he was safe and sound, without an extra hole, and then turned to look at the other side suspiciously.

A few steps away on the ground, two gold darts and two flying knives were scattered.

It looked like someone had hit the gold darts with flying knives in time, saving Zongzheng Yun dangerously.

And those few men in black were now fighting fiercely with a man.

The man was about twenty years old, wearing a light robe with arrow sleeves, elegant and handsome. However, his face was good-looking, but his face was very ugly, especially those eyes, cold as if they were thousand-year ice cubes, and every move was very fierce and sharp, with the posture of wanting to chop those assassins into meat mud.

Husband?

Du Ruo widened her eyes, both surprised and happy.

Her heart was completely settled.

With Jiang Li here, the overall situation was decided, and she and Zongzheng Yun were finally safe!

"Alright, don't be afraid." Du Ruo looked at Zongzheng Yun and smiled. "Your brother-in-law is here."

Zongzheng Yun glanced at Jiang Li and cut proudly, "What brother-in-law, I don't recognize him..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several shrill screams sounded abruptly.

The two men in black who were besieging Jiang Li were kicked away and hit the tree with a bang.

The tree broke.

People died.

And the leading man in black had one arm chopped off, his face ferocious, blood flowing all over the ground, the scene was very terrifying.

Jiang Li was about to make a supplementary knife, but Zongzheng Yun hurriedly shouted: "Leave a live one!"

Although under normal circumstances, it was very difficult to ask anything from dead soldiers, he still wanted to try and see which bastard was not doing his job and thinking about assassinating him all day long.

Hearing Zongzheng Yun's reminder, Jiang Li's movements paused, and the long blade in his hand turned a corner and shot toward a man in black on Long Dan's side.

It went straight through the chest!

The man in black didn't even hum, and died on the spot.

And the guard team finally arrived at this moment, quickly joining the battle. Hundreds of Qilin Guards crushed nine men in black like a storm, not even leaving a whole corpse for them.

Up to this point, this assassination operation was declared a complete failure; eighteen people died, seventeen, leaving only the leading man in black.

Long Dan stepped forward and suddenly tore off the mask on his face.

It was a black and thin man in his thirties, with a common face that couldn't be found in the crowd.

"Speak, who sent you!" Long Dan asked.

The man in black covered his broken arm, leaned against a crooked-neck tree, and smiled miserably. "If you want to kill, kill, why talk nonsense."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Li with hatred: "If you hadn't intervened today, Zongzheng Yun would have gone to the underworld to report! Heh, don't think that saving a prince's life will make you fly high in the future; wait and see, sooner or later there will be a day when you regret it!"

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.

Du Ruo walked over and kicked the man in black. "Husband, don't pay attention to him; he's still tough when he's about to die, who is he scaring?"

Husband?

A strange light flashed in the man in black's eyes, and he suddenly laughed out loud, the laughter extremely harsh and unpleasant.

"Good Prince of Yu, what a good method."

His gaze swept across the faces of Zongzheng Yun, Du Ruo, and Jiang Li in turn, and finally settled on Jiang Li's face. "Brother, there is actually a man as generous as you in the world, not only risking your life for the Prince of Yu, running around, but even willing to offer such a beautiful wife, which is truly admirable."

Jiang Li had no expression, as if he hadn't heard it.

Du Ruo was speechless. "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you believe I'll cut your tongue off?"

"Why, dare to do it but not admit it?" The man in black sneered. "When we came, you and the Prince of Yu were hiding in the carriage, flirting, hugging, and wanting to do something improper. Do you dare to say it's not? It's not just me who saw it; all my brothers saw it... Oh right, you killed them all."

"Think that this can block the mouths of the public? Pfft, adulterer and adulteress!"

Zongzheng Yun's face turned cold and he gave Long Dan a wink. "Kill him."

Long Dan raised his long blade.

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the man in black's mouth.

"Wait." Jiang Li stopped Long Dan. "His purpose is to alienate us, anger us, and seek a quick death, so as not to suffer physical pain. Don't fall for his trick."

The man in black's smile stiffened.

He hardened his heart and bit the poison hidden in his teeth hard. Anyway, he was going to die; since he couldn't ask for a quick one, let's have a painful one.

The poison slid down his throat like a burning fire, painful and unbearable.

The man in black fell to the ground and twitched violently, and his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose began to overflow with blood; it looked like he couldn't live.

Although they were mentally prepared, Zongzheng Yun and Long Dan were still a bit disappointed to see this scene.

Du Ruo, however, smiled coldly. "Want to die? Not that easy."

She signaled Long Dan. "Trouble Guard Long to pry open his mouth."

Long Dan did it suspiciously.

Du Ruo took out a medicine from her sleeve and handed it to Long Dan. "Feed it to him."

The best detox pill, can solve all poisons in the world, melts in the mouth; let's see how you die!

After the man in black swallowed it, Du Ruo handed over another medicine. "Feed him again."

Thought his bones were hard and he wouldn't say it?

Let you see the power of the truth pill!

The man in black lay on the ground, vomiting constantly, but couldn't vomit anything out. He looked up and stared fixedly at Du Ruo. "You, what did you feed me..."

"Fed you what? Of course, it's good stuff." Du Ruo squatted down and looked directly at the man in black. "I ask you, did you really see me and the Prince of Yu doing something improper?"

Cough cough, Zongzheng Yun nearly choked.

He glanced at Jiang Li uncomfortably.

Although Jiang Li's handsome face still had no expression, his eyebrows moved very obviously.

The man in black replied proudly: "Of course... no."

Uh?

He was stunned.

What happened? Clearly, the answer he thought of in his heart wasn't this!

Du Ruo nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask the second question: "Who sent you to kill the Prince of Yu?"
