Shangguan Wan Ning played with her whip and said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot to tell you. I put some colorless and odorless powder in the box. When you opened the box, the powder spread with the air and was inhaled into your body."
The eight masked men looked at each other and did not doubt Shangguan Wanning's words.
At this time, they were no longer able to use their internal energy, and their internal strength was disappearing bit by bit.
"Think carefully. Without my antidote, you will surely die." Shangguan Wanning's smile faded and she looked at them with cold eyes.
Mu Jingrui stared at Shangguan Wanning's profile, and suddenly he felt that this young lady in his eyes seemed to be tempered and growing up and becoming stronger.
He felt a little distressed and secretly held her hand tightly.
"If we tell you what we know, will you give us the antidote?"
"I swear on my own life that I will not break my promise."
"Okay, let me tell you...ah!"
Not far away, dense silver needles were flying towards them like raindrops.
Mu Jingrui held Shangguan Wanning in his arms and dodged by waving the sword in his hand.
In just a moment, the eight masked men and the man carrying the woman all fell to the ground.
"Jingrui, go chase him."
Mu Jingrui hesitated slightly and urged: "Stay here and wait for me, don't go away."
After saying that, he picked up the box on the ground and immediately chased after him.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Shangguan Wanning squatted down, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, and carefully pulled out the silver needle from the body of a masked man.
The silver needle is slender and emits a faint orchid light.
It is filled with a deadly poison.
Being able to use such tiny silver needles as hidden weapons and launch so many at the same time...
This person must be no simple person.
Just as Shangguan Wan was lost in thought, a light snort came from behind her.
She looked back and saw the man with the sack over his head trying his best to move forward.
Shangguan Wanning knew that this was the person Liu Xian had hired to impersonate her and threaten Mu Jingrui.
She may be innocent.
Shangguan Wanning pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and removed the sack.
She saw a pretty face, eyes full of fear and traces of tears.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I won't hurt you." Shangguan Wanning didn't untie the girl's rope immediately. She just took off the cloth that was blocking her mouth. She was still alert and asked, "Who are you? Do you know these people?"
The girl shook her head desperately.
"I... I don't know them at all. I'm from the village ahead. I went out to deliver lunch to my father at noon, and I don't know how I was caught by them. They even changed my clothes..."
The girl couldn't help crying. "How can I live my life in the future..."
Shangguan Wanning felt a little guilty, she felt that she had implicated her.
"I...I'd rather die..."
After the girl finished speaking, she suddenly bumped into a rock beside her.
Shangguan Wan Ning had no time to stop it. She screamed in fright, and the girl had already fainted with a bleeding head.
Shangguan Wanning calmed down. She knew she had to treat the girl immediately, so she hurriedly untied the ropes that bound her hands and took her pulse.
Um?
Strange? Why is her pulse...
Before Shangguan Wan Ning could finish her thought, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed her neck, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"You little bitch, my perfect plan was ruined by you. You are simply unforgivable."
Shangguan Wanning kept struggling, subconsciously trying to pull the girl's hand away.
Her breathing became increasingly difficult, and even her vision gradually became blurred.
At this time, the girl slightly relaxed the strength of her wrist, hugged Shangguan Wanning and jumped up.
With a loud bang, the stones behind the two men were shattered into pieces by the palm force.
Mu Jingrui is back.
The scene before him made him angry and annoyed.
"If you dare to touch her, I will make you regret giving birth to her."
There was a chill in Mu Jingrui's voice, and the girl couldn't help but step back.
She knew that she couldn't beat Mu Jingrui, but after all, she had Shangguan Wanning as her trump card.
"Don't worry, as long as I get what I want, I will let him go." The girl's eyes moved and she scolded, "Throw the box over here."
Shangguan Wanning knew that what was in the box was important.
Only by overthrowing Ling Ruiying will Xiao Yujue have a chance to turn things around.
"Jingrui, don't... leave me alone... ah..."
Without waiting for Shangguan Wanning to finish speaking, the girl pressed hard on her acupuncture points, causing Shangguan Wanning's face to turn blue in pain.
Mu Jingrui couldn't bear to see Shangguan Wanning suffer like this, so he untied the bag tied to his body and threw the box over.
The girl's eyes turned to the box, and Shangguan Wanning took advantage of this critical moment to stab the silver needle between her fingers into her pulse.
The girl screamed in pain and slapped Shangguan Wanning on the back.
Shangguan Wan Ning was blown away.
The girl jumped up to catch the box, and Mu Jingrui chose Shangguan Wanning without hesitation.
"Ning'er... Ning'er..."
Shangguan Wanning felt severe pain all over her body and her consciousness gradually became blurred. She vaguely saw the girl snatch the box and run away, so she used up her last bit of strength to grab Mu Jingrui's sleeve.
"Don't worry about me... Go chase her..."
Her voice became weaker and weaker, and finally she fainted.
Mu Jingrui just glanced in the direction where the girl disappeared, picked up Shangguan Wanning and jumped onto the horse's back.
He found a secluded corner nearby, put Shangguan Wanning down, and used his internal energy to heal her internal injuries.
An unknown amount of time had passed before Shangguan Wanning vaguely felt two warm currents flowing through her body, which not only relieved the pain but also made her feel physically and mentally relaxed.
She slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in Mu Jingrui's arms.
It was already dark, and the bonfire burning beside me had flickering flames, igniting a beam of light in the darkness.
"Are you feeling better?" Mu Jingrui stroked Shangguan Wanning's face and asked nervously.
Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath, but her chest still ached slightly.
"I'm fine... Did you catch up with her?"
Mu Jingrui shook his head. "Why would I chase her when you're injured like this? Of course you're more important."
Shangguan Wanning lowered her eyelids, looking sad. "I wanted to help you, but... I ended up dragging you down."
"Silly, who said you're a burden to me?" Mu Jingrui let Shangguan Wanning lean on his chest and smiled comfortably. "As long as you're safe, everything else... can be remedied. What's more, the things they really want haven't been taken away."
Shangguan Wanning was stunned and looked up at Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui smiled gently and took out a piece of silk from his arms, on which was clearly written the alliance treaty between Ling Rui and the Turkic prince.
The seals of the two people were clearly stamped on it.
