Chapter 227 The Assassin Comes

Ever since Sheng Yunshao and Princess Anran returned to Beijing, Jiang Ruo has focused his energy on the thousand acres of fertile land.

When the two of them had nothing to do, they studied the drawings of agricultural tools drawn by Sheng Yunshao.

At midnight, a heavy rain came.

Jiang Ruo, lying on the bed, listened to the sound of rain outside and the faint cheers and shouts coming from the village, and curled her red lips.

Xiao Chengjin, who was lying beside Jiang Ruo, moved his ears and sensed that danger was approaching.

Oh no, there's an assassin.

The moment Xiao Chengjin stood up, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Ruoruo, there's an assassin. Stay in your room."

"You are not allowed to come out." Xiao Chengjin turned over and got out of bed, quickly putting on an outer robe.

He picked up the sword from the shelf, walked quickly out of the room, and closed the door behind him.

Jiang Ruo looked at the closed door and stood up suddenly.

What?

The assassin came to the door.

We have been living in peace for too long and have let down our guard.

In the yard.

After a dozen assassins flew into the yard, the secret guards hiding in the dark immediately surrounded them.

The moment Xiao Chengjin opened the door and appeared, he exuded murderous aura.

As soon as the assassins saw the real boss coming, they immediately launched an attack.

The sword was unsheathed, and Xiao Chengjin slowly uttered a word: "Kill!" Then he flew up to fight.

The last time I was attacked, I was careless.

This time, none of you will leave alive.

The rain gradually got heavier, drowning out the sounds of fighting in the yard...

In an instant, the yard was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Jiang Ruo opened the door a crack and observed the battle outside.

It is normal to get injured in a fight, and these secret guards also need to "exercise" their muscles from time to time.

Well, that dog man’s martial arts skills are not bad either.

Xiao Chengjin didn't want Jiang Ruo to worry, so he shouted, "Quick fight, quick decision."

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Chengjin and the secret guards' attacks became more and more fierce.

The assassins were clearly at a disadvantage.

Steward Lin and his companions were very anxious. Since they had no martial arts skills, they naturally did not dare to cause trouble.

So they could only secretly observe the situation in the yard through the crack in the door.

When I saw the assassins falling one after another, I couldn't help but applaud.

After the fight, Xiao Chengjin and the secret guards were all injured to some extent.

The yard was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Jiang Ruo took out the medicine prepared by Sheng Yunshao from the space. Just as she was about to go out, Xiao Chengjin called her, "Ruo Ruo, the rain is very cold. Don't come out."

"I'm here to deliver medicine." Jiang Ruo raised the porcelain bottle in her hand.

Xiao Chengjin glanced at the corpses in the yard and ordered, "Clear these bodies out."

"Yes, Master."

Several secret guards who were less seriously injured found a cart and directly transported the body out.

Dongxue ran to Jiang Ruo's door and took the medicine from her hand.

"Master, please take a good rest. Leave these matters to me!"

Jiang Ruo warned worriedly, "Boil some hot water and make sure they clean the wound before applying the medicine."

"Yes, master." Dongxue took the medicine and turned to leave.

Since housekeeper Lin and his companions were unable to help, they went to the kitchen to boil water.

Jiang Ruo looked at Xiao Chengjin standing in the yard and said, "Stop poking around there and come in quickly."

After Xiao Chengjin entered the room, he showed an aggrieved expression, "Ruoruo, I'm hurt."

As he said this, he raised his injured arm to show Jiang Ruo.

Jiang Ruo raised her eyes to look at Xiao Chengjin, who looked like a green tea leaf. After coughing lightly, she pretended to check his wound.

"This is just a small... This injury looks a bit 'serious'. It might leave a scar."

After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, she turned around and closed the door.

The next moment, Xiao Chengjin was brought by Jiang Ruo to the courtyard in the space.

The little phoenix on the roof looked at Xiao Chengjin, who was soaked and in a mess, and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you bastard, you didn't watch your way at night and fell into the well!"

After he finished speaking, the little phoenix spread its wings and landed beside Xiao Chengjin, circling around him.

Xiao Chengjin felt even more aggrieved when he saw the little phoenix gloating in front of him.

"Ruoruo, my wound hurts so much."

Jiang Ruo looked at the man and the phoenix, holding his forehead helplessly.

"Xiaofeng, he didn't fall into the well."

"It was raining heavily outside, and some assassins happened to show up, so that's why he ended up like this."

Upon hearing this, Little Phoenix put away his smug expression and said, "So that's how it is!"

"Tsk tsk, I can finally share some of the burden with my sister."

"Sister, next time something like this happens, just summon me and I'll help you deal with them."

Xiao Chengjin snorted coldly and said slowly, "Can you fly when it rains heavily?"

"Besides, your invincible flames were extinguished before they could even be released."

"Still helping? We're still busy rescuing you."

When the little phoenix heard this, he immediately got furious.

"You bastard, this is my only weakness, humph!"

Jiang Ruo looked at the man and the woman who were at loggerheads, then turned and went to the bathroom.

"Xiao Chengjin, come in and take a shower."

Listening to Jiang Ruo's words, Xiao Chengjin turned around with a smug look on his face and went into the bathroom.

The little phoenix looked at the empty yard and flew onto the roof with a depressed look on its face.

"This is spiritual spring water. It will help your wound heal quickly." After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, she placed the bath towel and clothes on a shelf beside her.

Xiao Chengjin: "......"

Alas, I originally wanted to use this minor injury to make Ruoru love me for a few more days.

That's great, it healed immediately.

"Ruoruo, I understand."

Jiang Ruo didn't notice Xiao Chengjin's little thoughts. After she finished speaking, she walked out of the bathroom directly.

When the little phoenix on the roof saw Jiang Ruo coming out, it said very "well-behavedly": "Sister, the wheat in the field is ripe, you go and harvest it!"

Hehe, let’s send my sister away first. After this bastard finishes taking a shower, we’ll trick him to the other side of the mountain and... throw him away.

"Understood, Housekeeper Feng."

Usually, when the crops in the space fields are ripe, the little phoenix will call a few times to inform Jiang Ruo.

After hearing what Little Phoenix said, Jiang Ruo didn't doubt it and ran to collect the food.

Xiao Chengjin was afraid that Jiang Ruo would be waiting anxiously, so he took a shower as quickly as possible.

After he cleaned up the bathroom, he left the room with his long hair loose.

When the little phoenix saw the door open, a faint light flashed in its golden eyes.

It landed in front of Xiao Chengjin and said in a very sincere tone: "Sister is busy now. If you feel bored, I can take you for a walk!"

Xiao Chengjin looked at the attentive little phoenix and asked cautiously, "Are you so kind?"

"Tell me, what evil plan are you planning?"

"You bastard, I'm just being kind and showing you around to enjoy the scenery."

"I advise you not to be ungrateful." The little phoenix said fiercely and turned his head to the side.

It would be unfair if you don't fall for my eloquence.

Xiao Chengjin looked at the angry little phoenix and felt a little guilty for a moment.

He was thinking: Maybe I am worrying too much.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaofeng."

Upon hearing this, Little Phoenix felt secretly delighted.

"Okay, we are all family, come on up!"

The little phoenix spread its wings and took off, heading straight for the farthest mountain.

Jiang Ruo looked at the little phoenix flying away in a hurry, with a lot of question marks in his mind.

So anxious?

What did Xiao Fenghuang take Xiao Chengjin to do?

Because the little phoenix was flying so fast, Xiao Chengjin leaned over to look down but couldn't see it clearly at all.

"Xiaofeng, fly slower."

The little phoenix didn't reply, but flew even harder.

Slower?

impossible.

Xiao Chengjin realized belatedly that something was wrong.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the back of Little Phoenix's neck, threatening: "Let me go."

The little phoenix, whose fate was strangled by the back of its neck, blinked its eyes and landed directly.

After Xiao Chengjin stood firm, he first observed his surroundings.

These should be herbs!

The little phoenix glanced at Xiao Chengjin guiltily, "This is the medicine garden, you can look around for yourself!"

Alas, this bastard is really not easy to fool.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin glanced at Little Phoenix.

"knew."

After Xiao Chengjin turned around, the little phoenix quietly took a few steps back.

"Bye, you bastard~" After saying that, the little phoenix flew away at lightning speed.

Xiao Chengjin looked at the little phoenix flying away, a smile appearing on the corner of his lips.

Ruoruo will definitely be very anxious if she can't find me.
