Chapter 161: A whole night of trouble just to lure her here
At night, the north wind howled.
The stars were hidden in the clouds, dim and lifeless, as if they were brewing an atmosphere for the fight.
You don't need to use your eyes to see, just by smelling the disgusting smell of blood, you can guess how many people died.
It didn't rain today, but the road from the village entrance to the mountain was wet.
When they stepped on it, blood splashed up and stained the silver armor of the Silver Dragon Guards.
Blood was dripping from the tip of Li Tianzhuo's knife.
He didn't know whether the blood on his body was his own or someone else's, but most of his white shirt was stained red.
After General Feng taught him martial arts last time, he was able to mobilize a small amount of internal energy.
But that's all.
Jiang Yuan and Jun Chenyi both knew his situation and did not go far away, but protected him on both sides.
The three men stood side by side, with corpses all behind them.
Jun Chenyi's own secret guards were not many in number, and they were all killed by Wu Yanei's men.
Li Tianzhuo was unable to bring out all the Silver Dragon Guards, so he had to leave some behind to guard the capital and the palace.
Of the people he brought with him, only less than ten of them were left dead or injured.
The Wu family's assassins were all made of medicine men by Deng Youning's master Ji Yun. They were insensitive to pain and fatigue and would fight until they died.
They were no match for them and were almost defeated.
"Ninth Prince, my Lord, I will do my best to escort you two away."
Jiang Yuan is ready to sacrifice himself at any time.
"If we leave, what will happen to the people of Nanxin?"
Jun Chenyi asked nervously.
The villagers killed by Wu Yanei were all young and middle-aged men who resisted too radically.
The elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the village were simply arrested and their lives are not in danger for the time being.
I wonder if he has a change of heart or has some other purpose?
"Humph, you can't leave even if you want to!"
Wu Yanei's voice came from above their heads, with great penetrating power. Before he finished speaking, a sharp sword was slashing down towards the heads of the three of them.
The place where he fell was exactly where Li Tianzhuo was.
The sword energy was like a rainbow, and the impact force when it fell was so great that the surrounding wind did not blow towards them.
Although Li Tianzhuo couldn't use his internal energy, he still had his lightness skills and quickly dodged.
But Wu Yanei seemed to be deliberately picking on the weak, and he only targeted Li Tianzhuo and fought with him.
Jiang Yuan, Jun Chenyi and others were surrounded by other Wu family warriors and could not escape.
"The commander of the Silver Dragon Guards actually has no internal strength and his martial arts are mediocre. If this gets out to others, it will really make people laugh!"
"Li Tianzhuo, you are really capable. You have deceived the entire capital for five years!"
"If I hadn't captured you in the Crazy Lion Village last time, I would never have thought of this."
Although Wu Yanei was a playboy, his martial arts skills were quite good. Li Tianzhuo was no match for him at all and was forced to retreat again and again. He was on the verge of losing.
"Li Tianzhuo, you and that damn Deng Youning have repeatedly ruined our plans, and you have a deep grudge against the Queen and Ci'er."
"Today, I will start killing you first!"
His eyes were murderous and he wielded his sword with great skill, attacking Li Tianzhuo like a ferocious beast.
Li Tianzhuo was defeated and dropped the long sword in his hand. He was knocked to the ground and spit out blood.
But of course he wouldn't compromise like that.
Just as he was about to use the Eighteen Soul-Fixing Meridians to break through the acupoints again, a black iron sword emitting a cold glow, like a meteor shower, cut through the night sky and headed straight for Wu Yanei, cutting a long gash on his not-so-ugly face.
As they approached, they saw the ground beneath their feet was densely crawling with all kinds of poisonous insects.
Maybe it was too dark and they couldn't see clearly, they didn't know when these things appeared.
There were so many poisonous insects that not only were there on Li Tianzhuo and Wu Yanei's side, but also under the feet of Jiang Yuan and Jun Chenyi not far away.
All the death warriors who were bitten by poisonous insects became dead people directly.
Everyone knew the owner of these things very well, and they instantly guessed that it was Deng Youning.
"If you dare to touch him, you're courting death!"
In the cold wind, Deng Youning's voice was deep and powerful, like the roar of a lion, carrying a sense of oppression that came from its own intimidation.
As soon as she and Xiu Ming entered the village, they heard the sound of fighting.
Before the people arrived, her poisonous insects and sword took the lead for her.
Deng Youning abandoned his horse and flew over quickly using his Qinggong skills.
She retracted her sword, stood in the middle of the poisonous insects, blocked Li Tianzhuo, and confronted Wu Yanei.
Seeing that it was indeed her who came, Wu Yanei smiled triumphantly.
After making a fuss all night, he actually came here just to lure her out.
One was to kill everyone in front of her and see her reaction.
The second is that he wanted to use the lives of those lowly villagers to exchange for Jun Wenci's antidote from her.
If she didn't come, all this big show of mine would be in vain!
"My Lord, are you all right?"
"Luckily we arrived in time!"
Xiu Ming took a quick look at Li Tianzhuo's injuries. Fortunately, he was not injured and the blood on his body was splashed on others.
Meeting Deng Youning's worried eyes, Li Tianzhuo shook his head at her to indicate that he was fine.
Xiu Ming couldn't help it and rolled his eyes at his master.
Others are heroes saving beautiful girls, but his master is so proud of being a gigolo!
"Xiu Ming, take your parents away first and find a place to hide."
Deng Youning was worried that something might happen to Li Tianzhuo again.
Li Tianzhuo did not refuse, knowing that his body was of no help and staying might only hinder Ningning.
"Be careful yourself!"
After leaving these words of advice, Li Tianzhuo followed Xiu Ming and disappeared in an instant.
Deng Youning didn't even have time to look at them before he was thrown into the battle with the Wu family's assassins.
"County Lady Youning, we were almost husband and wife!"
"I am much better than Lord Li. If you enter the gate of my Wu family, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
“But you are so abominable. Not only did you poison Ci’er, you also killed my old lady from the Wu family!”
Wu Yanei was like a madman. One second he had a gentle smile on his face, and the next second, sparks were flashing in his eyes.
Deng Youning found it ridiculous.
It seems that Wu Yanei has become someone else's tool without realizing it.
So stupid!
"Jun Wenci is just using you as a knife. Don't you think that you still have no evidence to prove that all the people in this village are from Nanxin?"
"Under such circumstances, Jun Wenci asked you to come and massacre the village. The lives of all the villagers would not be enough to sentence your entire family to the guillotine."
"The Wu family, the Queen, and the Crown Prince will all clear themselves of all these crimes. In the end, you will be the only one to bear the consequences!"
"And what does the old lady of the Wu family have to do with your bastard son born to a concubine?"
"You are speaking up for others so much, but have you forgotten how they treated your biological mother as a non-human being?"
Deng Youning's words were sharp, and Wu Yanei was already confused.
She had already asked Li Qinghuan to investigate the affairs of the Wu family.
Although Wu Yanei seems to be a young master who is loved by everyone, his position in the Wu family is just a useful chess piece that can be sacrificed or abandoned at any time.
Maybe it's not even a knife.
This is especially true for the entire Wu family to Jun Wenci and the Queen!
"You evil woman, shut up and stop trying to sow discord."
"My surname is Wu. No matter how you try to stir up trouble, our Wu family is not like your Deng family, who will only rebel against their own people!"
Wu Yanei has a strong sense of family belonging.
Even though he himself realized that what Deng Youning said made some sense, he still remained loyal to the Wu family.
