Lin Ru was almost at the palace gate, and she was beaming with pride.

Because she could vaguely sense that Wu Ling was nearby!

In fact, if it were just her people, she would never run to the palace gate. Instead, she would find a place in the palace to hide until the next morning, and then secretly escape. When the army is pressing in the next morning, as long as those people are slightly distracted, they will have a chance to get out.

However, now it is a collaboration between the two parties.

If she doesn't bring people from the Marquis of Zhenbei's side into the game, once the two sides go to war, given the Marquis of Zhenbei's traditional character, he will definitely side with the Marquis of Zhenxi.

After all, in this day and age, no man can accept a woman standing on the same level as them.

She wasn't actually afraid of facing either side, it was just a bit troublesome, but she didn't want to be enemies with the male lead.

If she really kills the male protagonist, then everything she's doing now will be meaningless.

After all, her goal was to protect the people the original owner cared about!

Just as she was about to escape the palace, she suddenly heard shouts coming from behind her, growing louder as they approached.

"Close the city gates! Stop them! The king is not in their carriage!"

"I just went into that side hall and saw that all the officials and the king were dead in that side hall."

"Quickly close the city gates, don't let them escape."

"Otherwise, the consequences will be endless."

"Archers, get ready!"

As Gu Laoda looked at the guard commander, whose eyes were slightly red and who was rushing over, his heart sank slightly.

He asked incredulously, "You really saw my father's body?"

"Is my father really dead?"

"Who is in the carriage? I clearly heard his voice, and it was definitely my father's voice. He couldn't be dead."

Gu Lao Er didn't want to believe the guard captain's words either. "Qi Fan! Don't think you can talk nonsense just because you're an old general by Father's side. Everyone heard it just now. Father was clearly speaking, and his voice was full of energy. How could this be..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when he froze on the spot.

His father couldn't speak at all!

Even if someone could speak, their voice wouldn't be so loud...

as if……

It was as if he was saying it on purpose for them to hear...

The two brothers looked at each other, and finally made up their minds, shouting at the soldiers at the gate: "Close the palace gate immediately!"

"Archers, prepare."

"Release the arrows!"

Lin Ru was speechless after hearing their conversation.

Even the best-laid plans can have flaws!

But why would that person have nothing better to do than go and take a look inside that side shop?

She looked at the palace gates so close by and felt a surge of anger.

"They've been spotted! Come out and defend yourselves!"

"Wu Fei! Keep the carriage under control."

Wu Fei immediately took off his black cloak and took Lin Ru's place!

Lin Ru deftly deflected the incoming arrows with her sword.

Then he took out a spirit cannon from his spatial storage and fired it at the archers on the city wall.

Then he took the spirit cannon and fired it to the other side.

She looked at the gate that was about to close tightly and thought about using the spirit cannon to blast it open, but she was afraid of accidentally hurting the others behind the gate. In the end, she put the spirit cannon back into her space and took out the crossbow again, shooting one arrow at each of the guards at the gate!

Try to slow down the closing time of the gate.

But they were still some distance from the palace gate!

Just as the palace gates were about to close, suddenly with a whoosh, a long sword flew over and landed right in the middle of the palace gate!

Boss Gu was surprised that this little demoness was carrying so many weapons, including that terrifying artifact.

I had only heard that the thing was terrifying, and that Prince Shun had fallen victim to it.

They always felt that the common people were exaggerating.

In retrospect, there was no exaggeration at all; in fact, the so-called magical artifact was underestimated.

In the blink of an eye, all the archers on the city wall were wiped out.

Although the problem was rectified in time, those people were somewhat devastated.

They were terrified that they would die under that divine weapon at any moment.

The dark clouds in the sky grew larger and larger, and thunder roared loudly.

The whole world seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

However, Boss Gu discovered that this artifact seemed to have a problem. Otherwise, why didn't this little demoness use the artifact to eliminate them all? This thing must have certain limitations!

Boss Gu quickly rallied the troops, "Everyone! Don't be afraid, charge!"

"Don't be afraid. The thing that this little demoness has in her hand must have limitations. She can't just use it whenever she wants. Otherwise, wouldn't everyone in this world who opposes her be dead long ago? Why would she come here to talk to us?"

"If we let this little vixen escape today, our families, our wives and children, will become prisoners in the future."

"They will be completely controlled by this little vixen."

"And have you forgotten what we said back at the border of Mianzhou?"

"The Marquis of Zhenxi is now dead!"

"Everyone! Are we just going to stand by and watch this culprit get away scot-free?"

"If we back down now, we'll be backing down for life."

Lin Ru found these words inexplicably amusing. He knew the timing was inappropriate, but the phrase felt strangely familiar—it was the same one: "Your subject abdicates! This abdication will last a lifetime. Your subject has ten sins..."

Good heavens, she felt goosebumps all over her body!

She turned around with the crossbow and fired an arrow at the incessantly talking Boss Gu!

As soon as she shot the arrow, a torrential downpour began!

This caused her arrow to miss its mark again!

It only hit Boss Gu's left arm!

"Damn it!"

Lin Ru couldn't help but swear!

It seems like God is working against him.

He encountered considerable obstacles when he tried to kill the Marquis of Zhenxi, and now killing his eldest son is like being struck by a curse.

Could it be because he killed an important character in the book? But who is this eldest son? Did he have a lot of screen time without her knowing?

Somewhat unwilling, she shot him with another arrow!

This time it's even worse, they actually brushed past each other!

She strongly suspected that there was something wrong with her technique, but she aimed the arrow at the gatekeeper and released it, hitting him right between the eyebrows!

She was speechless. It's not like the world is heartless and treats all things like straw dogs.

Why did she only see the favoritism of Heaven?

Good heavens, so only a portion of the people are treated like dogs, while the rest are not even allowed to be killed?

She looked up at the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck right in front of her.

It was as if it was warning her, "You guessed right, so don't kill people you shouldn't kill."
