The Third and Fourth Princes' spies within the Luo Family Army had also sensed something unusual! This Prince Qin had vanished from the face of the earth since leaving the capital. Several searches had returned empty-handed, and they hadn't expected him to be hiding among them, disguised as a lowly scout!
Meanwhile, the others also sprang into action. As Luo Jing pursued the King of Qin, he encountered a group of mysterious individuals in black. Instantly, swords clashed, and a fierce battle erupted. After several rounds of fighting, Luo Jing realized that these opponents were meticulously trained desperadoes.
After a fierce fight, Luo Jing anxiously shouted at his deputy general: "No! The identity of the King of Qin has been exposed! We must find the King of Qin before these desperate criminals!"
At the same time, Nanzhi followed Chu Chengjin closely out of the cave. Chu Chengjin looked at her and said firmly, "Once we return to the garrison, I will ask Marshal Luo to send someone to escort you back to Youli."
However, Nanzhi shook her head, refusing. With a determined gaze, she replied, "I don't want to go back! I want to stay in Beiyuan! I've heard that once summer is over, Beiyuan is covered in snow! And in Youli, I've never seen snow before! So, I want to follow you! I long to experience that mysterious snow-capped mountain firsthand!"
Hearing Nanzhi's words, Chu Chengjin couldn't help but frown and said worriedly, "This place is where the border troops are stationed, full of endless dangers! Besides, as a woman, how can you stay in the military camp for a long time?"
Facing Chu Chengjin's concerns, Nanzhi smiled slightly and replied confidently, "You don't have to worry about that! I can disguise myself as an ordinary soldier through disguise and then quietly follow you around!"
At this moment, Chu Chengjin turned around abruptly! As if he had expected this scene to happen, he hugged Nanzhi tightly in his arms without hesitation, and rolled into the dense grass together!
And right where they had just stood, they were instantly shot by several extremely sharp feather arrows, deeply embedded in the soil! These feather arrows came with great force and density. If Chu Chengjin hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid the two of them would have been killed by now.
Before Nanzhi could recover from his shock, he saw a group of figures dressed in black, moving as swiftly as ghosts, rushing towards them! It was obvious that this group of people were well-trained assassins!
Nanzhi snapped back to her senses. She quickly pulled herself out of Chu Chengjin's warm, generous embrace, then frantically groped through her pockets, finally pulling out a packet of poison powder. Without hesitation, she tossed it vigorously at the men in black...
Something unexpected happened! The unfortunate men in black who had been caught in the attack suddenly seemed to be under a spell. They tightly held each other's hands and began to dance wildly and strangely... Their bodies twisted and swayed, their movements exaggerated and ridiculous, as if they had completely lost control of their own actions.
Chu Chengjin widened his eyes, his face full of astonishment. He raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Nanzhi, are you sure that what you sprinkled out was poison powder?" There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.
Nanzhi scratched his head awkwardly, a shy blush on his face, and hesitantly replied: "Well... actually, this is the medicinal powder I secretly took from the Great Protector before. I don't know what it is..." His words were full of apology and embarrassment.
Seeing that these men in black had all been poisoned by Nanzhi, Chu Chengjin grabbed her hand and ran towards the Beiyuan garrison.
Along the way, the two men didn't stop for a moment, but fate always seemed to play tricks on them. Just as they were about to reach their destination, they were once again confronted by a group of assassins who came to kill them! This group of enemies was numerous and fierce. Although Chu Chengjin was a skilled martial artist, he now had to distract himself with protecting Nanzhi, who only knew a few tricks. It was difficult to withstand the siege of so many powerful enemies. As time passed, Chu Chengjin began to feel exhausted...
He shouted to Nanzhi with an anxious look on his face, "Their target is me, you better run away by yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Nanzhi not only didn't leave, but instead shouted, "I don't want to leave! You are Luo Lingyue's cousin, and Luo Lingyue will become my sister-in-law in the future. In other words, you are my cousin! How could I, Nanzhi, abandon the lives of my loved ones? Don't worry! As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you!"
After saying this, Nanzhi gritted her teeth and reached into her sleeve to pull out an exquisite jade box. She quickly opened the jade box and threw it out with force.
The next moment, a giant spider, emitting a faint blue light, flew out of the jade box. The spider was extremely fast, landing firmly on the neck of one of the assassins in the blink of an eye. It then opened its mouth and bit the assassin fiercely.
The bitten soldier's face suddenly changed, and the skin on his face and neck instantly turned a strange blue. Then, the skin on his hands also began to change, turning into that same heart-wrenching blue.
At this moment, the assassin suddenly turned around and rushed towards his companions as if he had gone mad. He hugged one of them tightly, bared his fangs, and bit down on the man's neck without hesitation!
The bitten person's body was changing at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, he became a strange figure emitting a faint blue light. Nanzhi panicked and pulled out two bright red pills from his pocket. Without hesitation, he handed one to Chu Chengjin and quickly swallowed the other.
Chu Chengjin took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation. Then he looked at Nanzhi nervously and asked, "Nanzhi, what the hell is this?"
Nanzhi's face showed a trace of sadness and frustration, and she whispered, "This is the treasure my father left me—the blue spider! In times of danger, it can save my life! It's a pity... once it bites someone and releases the toxin, I'll die... and this pill can only be used once in a lifetime!"
Chu Chengjin remained silent after hearing this, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment, he suddenly broke his silence and said firmly to Nanzhi, "Don't worry, Nanzhi. I'll definitely find another blue spider for you later!"
Nanzhi smiled slightly, but her eyes were filled with solemnity. She shook her head and said jokingly, "Are you kidding me? This blue spider is a treasure unique to our Youli Kingdom! Are you planning to go to Youli Kingdom with me?"
However, to Nanzhi's surprise, Chu Chengjin also smiled and responded firmly, "Why not?"
