"Are these vines really alive? They can even talk?" Zhou Ba was extremely shocked, his eyes wide as copper bells. "Then are they...vine monsters?"
"The vine monster listens to the young lady, so you, young lady..." Zhou Ba had a bold guess, but he didn't dare to say it.
"Don't guess randomly, the young lady is the young lady." Tang Yi slapped Zhou Ba's head in annoyance.
He had been watching the two gangs of killers and noticed something was wrong.
"Sir, they seem...trapped?"
At first, the two gangs of killers were concentrating on attacking each other, but after suffering too many casualties, the two leaders realized something was wrong.
Aren't you here to kill people? Why are you fighting with someone you don't have anything to do with?
"Wait a minute! Let's talk it over..." The bulky man called out urgently.
Our side suffered heavy casualties, and the other side was obviously a more professional organization than ours.
He never expected that a small guard would attract such a powerful organization to kill him.
The big man wiped the blood from his neck and said, "After you kill that guy, take his head back and report it to us first, then give it to us..."
"What did you say?" The leader of the men in black frowned, his cold eyes revealing a hint of confusion.
"Who are you going to kill?"
"Aren't you the guard named Zhou Ba?" the big man asked doubtfully.
The leader of the men in black frowned slightly, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and he wished he could kill this reckless man with a sword.
"Our target is not him!" He placed the sword in his hand and wiped the blood off it. He turned to face Rong Chaoxi and the others and said in a deep voice, "Our target is Princess Chaoyang!"
"Hey? Why didn't you say so earlier!" The big man approached and wanted to slap the leader of the men in black, but the latter was very alert and grabbed him with his backhand, twisting the big man so hard that he screamed.
“Let go, let go…”
The man in black gave him a cold look and pushed the big man away.
"You are really something. Why are you pretending to be so cool? I told you before that we can still cooperate with each other..." the big man said unhappily.
The man in black continued to look stern, ignored him, and ordered his men to continue the assassination.
Who knew...
It was clear that those people were only thirty steps away, but they seemed to be standing still, unable to move forward at all.
The leader of the men in black looked at the peach blossoms flying around the crowd without any wind, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Peach Blossom Formation?"
"Is there really a formation that can trap people and prevent them from getting out?" Knowing how powerful the young lady was, Zhou Ba now turned into a curious baby.
"Was this formation set up by the young lady when we came here?"
"No." Rong Chaoxi shook his head. "It's a barrier, not a formation. Formations are very complicated to set up."
'Shh-'
Just then, a short whistle sounded.
Then a flash of light appeared in the woods—
With a whoosh, an arrow cut through the sky and shot straight towards us.
"careful!"
Zhou Ba was about to raise his sword to block the attack.
The next moment, a small hand stretched out from Zhou Ba's head and firmly grasped the arrow that was about to see blood.
Then, Rong Chaoxi's other hand quickly transformed into a bow.
Draw the bow and shoot the arrow.
'call out--'
After a short and rapid sound of breaking through the air, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard in the forest.
Then two more arrows were shot in succession, and the man groaned as a heavy object fell to the ground.
The birds in the forest were startled and then fell silent.
Zhou Ba had never heard of Rong Chaoxi's glorious deeds in the palace school. At this moment, his eyes almost popped out of his head and he was so surprised that he couldn't utter a word.
Tang Yi patted the child on the shoulder: There are still many things you don’t know, you will be surprised in the future.
"Chaoxi, Abai..." Qin Nanjing rushed over at some point and held the two children in her arms.
When she saw the arrow shooting towards Chaoxi just now, she was so scared that she almost fainted on the spot.
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..." Seeing that the two were safe and sound, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Jiaojiao, my Jiaojiao..." Mrs. Qiao followed and saw Qiao Jiaojiao lying on the vine net behind her, dying.
"Monster...monster..." Qiao Jiaojiao's face turned pale as paper, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted again.
Someone had gone down the mountain to report to the authorities earlier, and now the police came over and apprehended the two groups of killers.
When the man in black saw that he could not escape from the police, he wanted to commit suicide by biting poison.
But even though his back teeth were broken, the poison hidden inside refused to break.
When he cut the neck, the knife was like an unsharpened blade, not even a scratch could be made on the skin.
Thinking back to the flying vines and peach blossom formation, I knew that I had met an extraordinary person.
In the end, he could only watch himself being taken away.
The officers escorted the killer and followed the general's carriage back to the city.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyu led his men to the Moon Temple, and happened to meet a group of people returning at the city gate.
"Aunt Jing, Abai, are you okay?" he walked forward and asked with concern.
He picked up Rong Chaoxi and felt relieved when he saw her smiling face.
He took over the killer and brought him back to the Dali Temple for interrogation, determined to find out the murderer behind the scenes.
"Brother-in-law..." Rong Yubai pointed at the loose killers and said, "That group of people came to kill Zhou Ba. They must be related to the Annan Marquis Mansion. You can investigate in that direction."
Zhou Ba was the secret guard arranged by Rong Baichuan to protect Prince Chen. He had just returned to the capital, so no one should know him.
The only person Rong Yubai could think of who could hire someone to kill him was Rong Qiwang, whom he had met at the border.
"Those men in black are coming for Chaoxi..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Lingyu's expression darkened. "Chao Xi is only two years old. How could someone be so vicious?!"
"It's hard to say." Rong Yubai shook his head. After all, Rong Chaoxi had offended many people.
But only he has the courage to kill her.
"Fang family!" Jiang Lingyu and Rong Yubai said these two words at the same time.
A few days ago, Rong Chaoxi had disrupted the Fang family's home and made things difficult for them. Now, they were the ones who were most hostile to Rong Chaoxi.
"I will investigate in this direction, don't worry." After saying goodbye to a few people, Jiang Lingyu took the killer back.
On the city wall, a man dressed as a soldier rushed down the stairs.
…
late at night.
The bright lights went out one by one, and the city fell into silence. Only the painful howls, one louder than the other, could be heard from the Dali Temple prison.
More than a dozen people lined up in a row, and the sizzling sound continued. The smoke made the dim dungeon even more hazy.
'Gudong...' The smell of barbecue made people swallow their saliva.
"What are you doing? That's human flesh!" A jailer slapped the useless guy who was swallowing his saliva.
"Although... so many people are ironing together..." He couldn't help licking his lips. "It will be over soon. Let's go to my house. My wife also built a barbecue grill at home a while ago..."
The jailer at the gate started chatting about food instead of doing his job.
The wailing inside continued.
"Sir, I still refuse to confess." The jailer reported to Jiang Lingyu.
"No rush, lock them up. There should be more rats coming tonight."
Jiang Lingyu looked at the faint moonlight coming through the narrow wooden window, his eyes gloomy.
