Thus, the Marquis of Zhenxi passed away, one blow after another!

Rumble!

A deafening roar filled the sky!

A bolt of lightning seemed to tear the entire sky in two.

Lin Ru squinted at the sky.

Finally, she cut off the head of the Marquis of Zhenxi, confirming that he would never come back to life. She then took the man's head and rushed back!

When Lin Ru returned home, she saw a patch of blood on her mother's arm and felt a pang of heartache.

She casually tossed the head of the Marquis of Zhenxi into the crowd, saying, "Your king has already been beheaded by me. Do you still want to risk your lives here?"

"Don't you have parents, brothers, wives, and children?"

"Leave here right now, and I'll spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The guards, seeing the unseeing head before them, retreated in fear.

They couldn't believe that their king, who was like a god in their eyes, had died at the hands of a mere little girl.

And he died a mangled corpse!

The head was simply tossed aside.

These people thought of their families, and also of the kindness shown to them by the Marquis of Zhenxi! And of the bloody battles fought on the border!

Finally, with tears welling up in his eyes, he launched an even more frantic counterattack!

A scholar will die for one who understands him!

No matter what wrong things the Marquis of Zhenxi did, or what he became, in their eyes, he was their king!

Unquestionable!

Even if it means dying for the king!

That's worth it!

Lin Ru frowned!

Are these people stupid?

Why are they all rushing to their deaths one by one?

Whether it was them or those few treacherous and cunning individuals, they were all willing to die for a Marquis of Zhenxi.

However, she quickly realized what was going on.

Perhaps this is what true loyalty is!

Just like how the Wu clan treated her!

Regardless of what the future holds, regardless of whether she lives or dies!

Whatever she says, these people will risk their lives to accomplish it.

Since that's the case, then let's grant these people's wish.

At this moment, her eyes also showed a lot more seriousness!

And they even put away the repeating crossbow!

"Since you all want to kill me, then come at me. After all, I killed your king."

"It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"In view of your loyalty, I am willing to give you a chance to take revenge."

"bring it on!"

Wu Juan and Wu Fei quickly tried to stop them!

But seeing the excitement in Lin Ru's eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.

So after about half an hour, the shouts of battle inside finally subsided, while the guards outside had no idea that their master had died half an hour earlier.

After killing all of them, Lin Ru calmed her breathing.

She should have tried her best to stall for time.

If they send out a signal now, Xu Yixuan and the others will be in danger sooner.

But if they can wait until tomorrow morning for news of the two armies pressing in, they will be much safer.

However, even if she wanted to wait for the Marquis of Zhenxi, she didn't want to!

The sounds inside have stopped now, and the people outside should be coming in soon. She needs to think of a way to fight to the death inside this room!

still……

She looked at the human heads at her feet, then at her own mother, and suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

"Mother! How did you get out before? Was there someone who could imitate the Marquis of Zhenxi's words?!"

Mr. Bai nodded.

"It was the bodyguard you gave me!"

“Those people are very responsible and will not come out unless absolutely necessary.”

"I just don't know if they're following them now?"

Lin Ru then remembered that the training methods used to train those secret guards were absolutely inhuman!

Moreover, their lightness skills are all exceptional!

That's why they were sent to secretly protect their mother.

Now it's come in handy; I never expected that one of these people would be so skilled in ventriloquism.

"Come out!"

Whoosh~

Two people suddenly jumped out from the shadows.

Lin Ru was not accompanied by any bodyguards!

I was startled by the sudden appearance of these two people.

"I remember there were four people, how come there are only two?"

The two men said somewhat embarrassedly, "The third and fourth brothers didn't come in; the security outside is exceptionally tight today."

“I was afraid of alerting them, so I did it this way: the two of them waited outside, and the two of us followed.”

"However, rest assured, I am the one who imitates the Marquis of Zhenxi's speech."

"I can only imitate one or two of them. The reason I succeeded last time was because I was far away from those people and I didn't say much."

"If you're in close proximity and talk a lot, you're more likely to be noticed."

Lin Ru glared at the two of them, annoyed.

"Why didn't you come out just now? Didn't you see that Madam's arm was injured?"

Bai quickly explained, "You misunderstood them. I was the one who didn't let them come out."

"I told these people in advance that as long as we can handle it, we shouldn't come out, unless we're facing a life-or-death situation."

"Come out again!"

"Otherwise, if we're exhausted and they're exhausted too, who's going to lead us on the run?"

Lin Ru felt that her mother's words made a lot of sense.

She glanced at the bodyguard who was skilled in ventriloquism, and then at the one next to him.

Then he shared his thoughts.

The archers outside, looking at the dark sky, felt a sense of oppression for some reason.

And so much time has passed, why is there no movement inside at all?

Why doesn't their king come out?

Hopefully nothing bad will happen.

Looking at the tightly closed palace doors, Elder Gu paced anxiously in circles several times.

"Father, really! Why won't you let me go in with you?"

"And now they're still not coming out!"

Old Gu Er said somewhat nervously, "The sky looks dark and gloomy; it looks like it's going to rain."

"If Father doesn't come out, could something have happened to him?"

Boss Gu glared at him with one look.

"Second brother, what are you saying?"

"How could Father be in trouble? There are six hundred people in that small inner hall!"

“Just those four people! How could anything happen to them? Besides, if something really happened, Father would have come out beforehand. We have set up ambushes at both the front and back hall entrances.”

"As soon as someone runs out, we'll rush in immediately."

Meanwhile, the captain of the guards on the other side felt that he had just faintly heard voices inside shouting for revenge for the king!

Just as he was about to listen carefully, the sound was completely drowned out by a deafening clap of thunder.

Time passed little by little.
