Chapter 232: Ningning, Never Throw Away Your Sword
The two sides stood opposite each other.
The female killer looked at the two of them and challenged them with a look of disdain:
"I must take this person away today."
"If you insist on stopping me, watch out for your lives."
Hearing this, Deng Youning found it very interesting.
Anyone who dared to say such things to me died a miserable death.
So what if your martial arts skills are so high?
She can poison you!
"You are so arrogant, Your Excellency. Si Wang was originally a prisoner of our Dongji. You come to rescue him, which means you don't take Dongji seriously."
"In that case, killing you wouldn't be considered unwarranted killing!"
A flash of blood appeared in Deng Youning's eyes, and then murderous intent followed him.
She also reminded Li Tianzhuo in a low voice: "Don't forget to take the antidote yourself."
Li Tianzhuo knew that when Deng Youning drew his sword and looked at the woman, the poison in his body began to be released.
The woman released her hand that was holding Si Wang's shoulder, picked up a vine from the ground at random, and swung it towards Deng Youning's sword like a whip.
She wanted to entangle Deng Youning's sword and knock it away, but Deng Youning also saw her intention and dodged in time, and when she was not prepared, she cut off the vine in her hand with a sword.
Seeing this, the woman became a little excited.
"Little girl, you're not bad. I've been on the Nanxin Killer Ranking for more than ten years, and this is the first time I've met a girl like you who can be called a rival!"
As if he was afraid that Deng Youning would become too proud, Li Tianzhuo came closer to her and warned her:
"Ningning, you have to be careful of this person. He is the flower lady killed by Baihua and is also the sixth bounty hunter on the killer list."
"Her kung fu is as good as any of the three we faced at Rashomon before."
"You distract her, I'll capture Si Wang."
He began his battle plan.
Now that he does not have enough martial arts skills, he cannot help deal with the female killer, so he can only reduce the burden on Deng Youning in other ways.
"Okay, be careful."
Deng Youning gave a worried reminder.
As she spoke, the woman picked up another cane and started to whip Deng Youning.
"Little girl, don't be distracted by chatting with your lover during a fight!"
The woman teased, a wicked smile on her face, as if she had already won.
As she approached, she threw a coquettish glance at Li Tianzhuo.
"Young man, what's so good about this kid? He doesn't know how to serve anyone. Why don't you follow me, your sister, and let me take good care of you?"
Li Tianzhuo felt his stomach churning and he even dry-heaved.
"No, I'm giving you face by calling you Big Sister. You look older than my deceased mother, and you still have the nerve to say these things to me?"
His sharp tongue gave no face to anyone except Deng Youning and he started to attack them directly.
"Shut up, little brat!"
The woman roared angrily and waved her wide sleeves, releasing countless hidden darts towards Li Tianzhuo.
Fortunately, Li Tianzhuo's poisonous tongue and lightness skills were directly proportional to each other, and he dodged it in time.
But at the same time, he completely pissed off the woman.
When the woman saw that she couldn't beat Li Tianzhuo, she simply took her anger out on Deng Youning and didn't hold back when fighting her.
Deng Youning also wanted to fight her in close combat so that it would be easier for him to poison her.
Li Tianzhuo turned around and focused on dealing with the king.
Even if Si Wang faced Li Tian now, he would still be defeated in just two moves.
The woman had to fight with Deng Youning while guarding against Li Tianzhuo's sneak attack. It was very hard for her to be busy on both sides.
"Sister, I heard that you assassins are paid to do things. No matter how much money we gave you to save the man who looks like the king, I will give you three times as much. Hand him over to us!"
Deng Youning took the opportunity to grab the cane in the woman's hand and negotiate a deal with her.
Three times, that’s a lot of price increase!
The woman's eyes were clearly moved, but she still refused.
"We killers also have principles."
Deng Youning raised her eyebrows cheerfully: "Ten times!"
Anyway, she has plenty of money. Even if she doesn't have it, the Deng family, the Han family and Li Tianzhuo have it.
The woman hesitated.
It seemed that the king was already cold all over, fearing that the woman would sell him out.
He quickly said, "Thank you, sister. I can also offer you the price they can. Besides, don't forget that you are a citizen of Nanxin. If you help them, it would be like surrendering to the enemy!"
Sure enough, his words worked.
Even those who live in shady places and make a living by killing people care about their nationality and the land that gave birth to them.
"Oh, she is the Princess of Dongji, but don't forget that I am also the Prince of Nanxin."
"Is it okay for me to do this business with you?"
Li Tianzhuo also took advantage of this opportunity.
Si Wang calmly asked back, "Sixth brother, have you finally acknowledged your identity as the Sixth Prince, the Prince of Changle?"
"Whether I admit my identity or not has nothing to do with you. Don't forget, my father wants your life!" Li Tianzhuo knew what he was going to say and blocked his mouth directly.
It seems that the king will never forget what happened two days ago at the Liangcheng Inn when the people sent by Emperor Nanxin wanted to burn them to death.
He knew that he and his father had almost no father-son relationship. His father had only one son, Li Tianzhuo, in his life. The other five princes were not even as good as the old black dog he had raised for ten years!
"Xie Miaoqing, how is it? Have you decided who to help?"
"If you cooperate with us, Princess Dongji will not only give you a fortune, but I will also speak well of you in front of Emperor Nanxin."
"Then we can say that Si Wang escaped on his own and was caught by you, Miss Xie. How about that?"
"You must know that with these few words from the king, you beauty killers of Baihuasha will have a great chance of walking under the sun in the future."
Li Tianzhuo was just trying to please the woman with empty promises.
Perhaps apart from the money that Deng Youning promised to give her, the so-called going to Emperor Nan Xin to speak well of her was simply a trick to fool her.
Killers are naturally timid, so to make them visible would be a huge temptation for her.
Just when Xie Miaoqing was about to compromise, an arrow suddenly flew over from the cliff on the opposite bank, heading towards the direction of Si Wang.
The arrow was accurate and powerful, and it was aimed at killing people.
"careful!"
Deng Youning reminded loudly.
Li Tianzhuo, who was standing with Si Wang, pushed him in time and was shot by the arrow instead of him.
"Azhuo——"
Deng Youning ignored Xie Miaoqing who was still fighting with her. Her vines were entangled with her sword, so she even dropped the sword given to her by her grandmother, ran towards Li Tianzhuo, and held him in her arms.
Fortunately, the arrow only hit his shoulder and posed no threat to his life.
Li Tianzhuo broke the arrow shaft with great pain.
Deng Youning hurriedly took out the hemostatic medicine, pulled open his clothes at the collar, and sprinkled it on his wound.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
He staggered to Xie Miaoqing's side, helped Deng Youning pick up the sword and returned it to her.
"Ningning, always remember, no matter what happens, even if I am really shot to death, you must never throw away the sword in your hand before you are out of danger."
"What's more, this is the sword that your grandmother left for you!"
He scolded Deng Youning like an elder who was disappointed with his child. Even though he was reluctant, he had to do these things for her good.
Deng Youning pursed his lips and said unconvincedly: "I have a dagger hidden in my waist, sleeves, and boots. Don't worry, I know the pros and cons and will never leave myself unarmed!"
