At the critical moment, a dart grazed Qingwu's cheek, slicing her skin, and then struck the attacker between the eyebrows with astonishing speed.
He died on the spot.
The person who saved Qingwu was Jiang Lisu's elder brother.
Jianghuai Encounter.
Dressed in black, he slowly walked into view from the rainy night, with several unreleased darts between his fingers.
Jiang Huaiyu brandished the hidden weapon in his hand and smiled slyly: "Anyone else want to test my accuracy?"
"Anyone who dares to move will die..."
After Jiang Huaiyu finished speaking, not only did the masked men in black dare not move, but even the guards and servants in the Su mansion dared not make a move.
Swords and blades have no eyes, and this hero's cross-shaped darts are even more blind!
Jiang Lisu stepped forward and said calmly, "Brother, don't be impulsive..."
The two men stood at the doorway, one holding a sword, the other holding nothing but a cross-shaped dart.
If the masked men in black hadn't recognized who was standing before them, now that they've all appeared at the same time...
Their martial arts skills and movements are so unorthodox, yet they address each other as brother and sister.
It must be...
The Jiang siblings are undoubtedly the most formidable assassins.
The leader of the men in black rolled his eyes and quickly analyzed their current situation in his mind.
Besides Yan Jianghai, that seasoned veteran, the guards and maids in the Su family mansion are not to be trifled with either.
Although they outnumbered the enemy, with the Jiang siblings present, their chances of winning were slim.
Furthermore, everyone in the Eastern Depot knows that Jiang is the supervisor's man.
Now that the Jiang family is stepping forward to protect the Su family, it must be the orders of the Grand Eunuch.
Jiang can be killed, but... in Beiliang, who dares to offend that nobleman surnamed Xiao from the Directorate of Ceremonial?
After careful consideration.
The leader blew a whistle, signaling a retreat.
Jiang Huaiyu twitched his finger, about to kill those people, but Jiang Lisu stopped him with a gesture.
Her gaze was sharp as she slowly shook her head at her brother.
The masked man in black vanished into the night in an instant.
That night, the government officials did not come, but fortunately, the Jiang siblings appeared in time and saved everyone.
No one in the Su family died as a result, but several people were seriously injured.
Aside from the slashes on her face, Qingwu was perfectly fine.
However, she was quite interested in the hidden weapon in Jiang Huaiyu's hand and couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.
...
After such a big incident, Su Tiyue's mother, Madam Yang, was clearly terrified.
Distracted and absent-minded.
Su Sui gave a few instructions, then took his wife back to their room to rest.
Although he didn't say anything, he knew very well that Su Tiyue's request for him to resign was not without reason.
In a time of turmoil and change, as the head of the family, he had to consider the safety of everyone in the Su family.
The future of Northern Liang will be as it may be.
From now on, Su Sui only wants to stay away from power struggles and conflicts.
...
Seeing that the mansion was almost tidied up, Jiang Lisu walked slowly to Su Tiyue's side and said softly, "Your Highness, I will escort you back to the palace."
Su Tiyue nodded without saying a word.
A carriage was already prepared at the entrance of the Su residence.
Su Tiyue, Liu Wan, and Qingwu boarded the carriage.
After they were settled, the Jiang siblings, who were driving the carriage, also boarded the carriage on either side of them.
Before setting off, Su Tiyue asked, "You're from the Eastern Depot, aren't you?"
Jiang Lisu turned her head slightly, glanced at Su Tiyue in the carriage, and said nothing.
Seeing Jiang Lisu's expression, Su Tiyue already knew the answer in her heart.
She gave a helpless smile and said softly, "Miss Jiang, please go to Qiushui Residence... Also, please tell your master that I am waiting for him at Qiushui Residence."
Jiang Lisu frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded gently to her brother.
Jiang Huai got off the carriage, borrowed a fast horse, and hurried to the palace.
The carriage creaked and groaned as it moved forward...
When did the rain stop?
Perhaps it was when the Jiang siblings appeared, or perhaps it was when those men in black fled in panic...
What just happened was so terrifying, who would remember when the rain stopped?
Su Tiyue kept her eyes down and remained almost silent the whole way.
Throughout the journey, she had only one thought in her mind: they were people from the Eastern Depot.
It is a cold boat.
The person who wanted to exterminate the entire Su family was Xiao Heye's younger brother.
In other words, the person Han Zhou really wanted to kill was only Su Tiyue.
Su Tiyue knew that Xiao Heye and Han Zhou had an unusual relationship, which was why Han Zhou tried to hurt her time and time again, while Xiao Heye only gave her a few words of reprimand and admonishment.
Now that this almost resulted in a death, if things continue like this, she'll be the one who suffers sooner or later.
“Qingwu…” Su Tiyue raised her head and said, “I’d like to borrow your sword.”
Inside the carriage, Liu Wan and Qing Wu looked at her with surprise.
Qingwu glanced at the sword lying beside her. "Your Majesty?"
Su Tiyue held out her hand to her, her tone neither too loud nor too soft: "Give it to me."
Qingwu glanced at Liuwan sitting to the side, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the sword to Su Tiyue.
After receiving the sword, Su Tiyue slowly drew it out.
Her slender, soft ring finger lightly touched the long, sharp blade of the sword; with just a slight touch, her fingertip was cut.
Tiny beads of blood congealed on the fingertip, forming a small droplet of blood.
Qingwu looked anxious: "Your Majesty, please be careful."
Su Tiyue pinched the blood droplet on her ring finger and said calmly, "I'm fine."
