When Xiao Jinghan and Luo Lingyue rushed to the scene, the scene before them was shocking - all the poisoned guards had lost their lives!
Luo Lingyue was extremely anxious. She instinctively wanted to go forward to check on the guards, but at this moment, a strong hand held her tightly.
"Be careful!" Xiao Jinghan's voice was full of concern and vigilance.
Luo Lingyue turned around and glanced at Xiao Jinghan, her eyes firm and calm: "Don't worry! I have some research on poisons!"
She knew that she couldn't let her emotions affect her judgment and had to stay calm to find a way to detoxify. So, she gently broke free from Xiao Jinghan's hand and walked towards the guards who had fallen to the ground.
After she finished her careful examination, a solemn look appeared on her originally calm face, and this look persisted and did not dissipate.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinghan on the side couldn't help but ask: "Is the situation very bad?"
Luo Lingyue nodded slightly in agreement. She said solemnly, "This poison powder is indeed quite powerful! If the enemy continues to use this kind of sneak attack, I'm afraid that more than half of us will lose our lives before we reach the next town!" Her voice revealed a hint of worry and uneasiness.
Xiao Jinghan frowned and said worriedly, "What should we do? We are in the open, but the enemy is hiding in the dark. If this goes on, we will be unable to defend ourselves!" His voice revealed a hint of helplessness and anxiety.
However, Luo Lingyue, standing nearby, remained calm and composed, a resolute light gleaming in her beautiful eyes. She gently parted her red lips and said in a steady voice, "Don't worry. Gather all your forces. I've got a plan!" Her words were filled with confidence and determination, as if she had already made up her mind.
Xiao Jinghan gathered everyone together, while Luo Lingyue stood silently by the side, holding a jade bottle in her hand. After everyone was present, she slowly walked forward and distributed the pills in the jade bottle to everyone.
Her expression was solemn, a hint of worry in her eyes. "This pill isn't a panacea, but it can help delay the onset of the poison, buying you more time to find an antidote. From now on, we'll face not only powerful foes, but also those skilled in poison!"
Luo Lingyue's gaze slowly swept over each guard, as if to deeply imprint her words into their hearts. "Remember, each of your lives is invaluable. If you discover anyone poisoned, no matter who it is, come to me immediately for treatment! Do you understand?"
The guards shouted in unison: "I understand! Princess, please rest assured! We are willing to protect the prince and princess to the death!"
Luo Lingyue was furious when she heard this. She raised her foot and kicked Xiao Jinghan, who was standing beside her like a wooden stake, and shouted angrily, "Why don't you tell them clearly that this princess does not need their lifelong protection!"
Xiao Jinghan staggered from the kick, but he still grinned and shouted to the guards, "Brothers, you must take care of your lives! We must arrive at Nanyi unscathed and intact! I don't need you to risk your lives! If you really encounter danger and can't defeat the enemy, don't you still have your princess here? Retreat!"
Xiao Jinghan's voice was quiet, but it carried an undeniable authority. The guards nodded in agreement, indicating they understood what he meant.
Luo Lingyue nodded slightly, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes. She knew that the road ahead might be full of difficulties, but she was ready to face all the difficulties.
Several people in black night clothes moved through the night like ghosts, eventually arriving at a secluded residence. As soon as they entered the house, one of the men eagerly asked, "How's it going? Did the poison I gave you work?" It was Ding Kun, his eyes gleaming with cunning and anticipation.
The man in black standing at the front smiled slightly, his tone revealing a hint of pride: "Mr. Ding's poison is indeed extremely powerful! As expected, we will be victorious tomorrow and kill the enemy without a single piece of armor left!"
Ding Kun nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, then took out a small and exquisite bottle from his arms, carefully handed it to the man in black, and instructed: "Apply this bottle of poison on your sword blades. Once blood comes into contact, the throat will be cut instantly! Moreover, even if the wounded person is lucky enough not to die at the time, as long as the part of the body is injured by the poison, the whole person will be completely disabled!" After speaking, Ding Kun raised a cold smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had already seen the tragic death of the enemy.
The man in black sneered, "Humph! Xiao Jinghan, that bastard, I will definitely kill him tomorrow! Let him know the consequences of offending me!"
In the dead of night, Luo Lingyue was still searching through boxes and cabinets in the tent, searching for something. Xiao Jinghan looked at her busy figure and asked in confusion, "What are you looking for? Why are you so anxious?"
Luo Lingyue showed a smile on her face and replied, "I'm looking for the soft armor I made by myself! Oh, I finally found it! Please call someone over and carry this box out!" Her tone revealed excitement and anticipation.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jinghan immediately sent someone to carry the box out of the tent. Luo Lingyue followed closely behind, seemingly attaching great importance to the soft armor. Watching her departing figure, Xiao Jinghan couldn't help but feel curious, wondering what was so special about this soft armor...
Luo Lingyue solemnly gathered everyone around her, "Everyone, listen up! Put on all of this soft armor, just in case those assassins come back tomorrow and use poison! This soft armor can resist hundreds of toxins! Be extra careful tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, the guards' faces lit up with joy, and they said in unison, "Thank you, Princess!"
The next morning, the sun shone on the earth, and Xiao Jinghan's team continued to advance towards Nanyi. They had already stepped into the dense forest.
Deep in the forest, a group of men in black had already set up an ambush, quietly waiting for their target to arrive. However, at this moment, an unexpected figure appeared - Ding Kun also came here.
The leading man in black was puzzled when he saw this and asked, "Mr. Ding, why did you come here in person?"
Ding Kun's voice was a little hoarse, and he answered through gritted teeth, "I heard that Dark Moon Fairy and Blood Shadow are secretly protecting Xiao Jinghan and his group! I came here today specifically to seek revenge on Dark Moon Fairy!"
The man in black asked suspiciously, "Although both the Dark Moon Pavilion and the Soul-Seeking Sect claimed to protect Xiao Jinghan, in the previous assassination attempts, there was no trace of these two major killer organizations! Could it be that they are just talking?"
Ding Kun glanced at him with disdain, his lips corners slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, and said confidently: "Hey, don't be anxious! If you want them to surface, you must force Xiao Jinghan and the others into a desperate situation. Don't worry, everything is under my control! I naturally have a clever plan to lure them out." After that, a barely perceptible shrewd light flashed in Ding Kun's eyes.
