*Pfft! Pfft!* Two sounds.
Two members of the assassin group had their throats slashed by darts thrown by Shangguan Wan'er.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The two assassins quickly covered the wounds on their necks, hoping to stop the bleeding.
However, blood still gushed out wildly from between their fingers.
Behind Shangguan Wan'er were more than a dozen palace maids who rushed forward while constantly throwing darts.
More than a dozen members of the assassin group fell from the roof.
"Someone is coming for us."
"Kill them."
A dozen or so assassins aimed their poisoned arrows at Shangguan Wan'er and the female officials around her.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Dozens of poisoned arrows flew towards Shangguan Wan'er and her companions.
Shangguan Wan'er gently turned to the side, and a poisoned arrow flew past her.
In that instant, Shangguan Wan'er saw the faint green light emanating from the poisoned arrow.
She knew the arrow was highly poisoned.
"Sisters, be careful, this arrow is highly poisonous." Shangguan Wan'er's speed was not affected. She ran forward and threw out several more darts.
The darts struck both men squarely on the forehead.
Two members of the assassin group screamed and fell off the roof.
Shangguan Wan'er had already rushed into the group of assassins. She drew two short swords and charged towards one of the assassins.
The two short swords, like serpents striking, aimed straight for the opponent's throat, forehead, chest, and abdomen...
Shangguan Wan'er was known for her agility; she could thrust more than a dozen times in a single second.
The assassin's vital points were completely destroyed by Shangguan Wan'er.
Another assassin roared and drew his sword, slashing at Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er used the body of the assassin, which he had stabbed to pieces, to block the fatal blow.
Immediately afterwards, she leaped up lightly, and simultaneously thrust the two short blades in her hands toward the assassin's temples.
*Thud thud thud...* The two short blades pierced the assassin's temple.
More and more patrolling soldiers rushed onto the rooftops.
"Don't let them get away, kill them all without exception." The patrolling soldiers, wielding their sabers, slashed at the assassins.
The assassins panicked.
The assassins no longer had the energy to pay attention to the departing carriage.
They all gripped their weapons and charged straight at the soldiers.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle on the rooftop.
Although the assassins were highly skilled, their weapons and equipment were extremely poor.
One by one, the assassins were hacked to pieces by the broadsword, and limbs flew everywhere.
Shangguan Wan'er saw that the situation was under control.
The little girl whistled: "Sisters, let's go?"
"You think you can leave? Not a chance."
"Stop."
More and more soldiers climbed onto the rooftops, blocking Shangguan Wan'er's path.
“We are not assassins, we are here to kill assassins.” Shangguan Wan’er pointed to the corpses of the assassins at her feet.
"Whatever your purpose is, come with us, and the boss will deal with you."
“What if we don’t go?” Shangguan Wan’er’s operation this time was extremely secretive, and this young girl didn’t want to be taken prisoner.
"Young lady, if you don't leave, don't blame us for being impolite." These soldiers, clad in gleaming armor and wielding sabers, were all imposing and domineering.
“We’re really not assassins,” Zhang Chuchu stepped forward from behind Shangguan Wan’er, “but it’s not convenient for us to go back with you.”
"Soldiers," Zhang Chuchu smiled slightly at the soldiers. This girl had a good name, Zhang Chuchu, and she was very pretty.
"If we hadn't been holding back these assassins, you wouldn't have been able to climb up so easily."
As you all saw, we risked our lives to rush over and save Lord Jiang.
The soldiers nodded: "We didn't say you were assassins. You just need to come back with us to assist with the investigation."
Just then, with a whoosh.
A poisoned arrow was shot at us.
The poisoned arrow went straight for Shangguan Wan'er's chest.
Upon hearing the sound of the poisoned arrow approaching, Shangguan Wan'er turned around with remarkable agility.
However, she dodged one poisoned arrow, but another followed immediately.
With a soft "poof".
The poisoned arrow pierced Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder.
The little girl screamed and fell to the ground.
"Sir, do you see that? If we were assassins, would these assassins even bother with us?" Zhang Chuchu quickly threw a few darts.
Bang bang bang...
With a dull thud as metal pierced flesh, the assassin who had released the poisoned arrow was killed on the spot.
A dozen or so palace ladies quickly ran up to Shangguan Wan'er.
"Sister Shangguan, are you alright?" Shangguan Wan'er covered her shoulder with one hand, and a stream of dark blood gushed out from the wound.
"Take me away from here, this arrow is poisoned." Soon, Shangguan Wan'er's face turned pale, and the little girl could no longer stand, swaying and about to fall down.
"We need to find a way to save this girl quickly."
"Make way."
The soldiers panicked.
They all made way, and the dozen or so palace ladies carried Shangguan Wan'er straight to the inn.
...
Luo Xiaohu looked at the carriage covered with countless poisoned arrows.
"Miss Nangong, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Nangong Qianyu's voice changed inside the carriage.
Under Luo Xiaohu's escort, the convoy finally arrived at the county government office.
A dozen or so maids were already waiting there.
Luo Xiaohu dismounted and turned around, holding his horse-slaying saber.
The 100 cavalrymen also gripped their sabers, keeping a close watch on their backs.
Fortunately, no one was rushing towards them from behind.
With a dozen or so maids protecting Nanmu, Qianyu headed straight for the backyard.
"The magistrate was attacked today! Brothers guarding the county office, keep a close eye on him!" Luo Xiaohu shouted at the crowd.
"promise……"
Just then, Luo Xiaohu felt everything go black and he couldn't see anything anymore.
He fell to the ground with a thud.
Luo Xiaohu tried to get up, but his limbs were too weak.
The brothers around him rushed over immediately.
"Sir, are you alright?"
"My lord, how are you?"
"Don't worry about me, I'm just injured." Luo Xiaohu's eyes were empty and weak. "Don't make a fuss, the assassins on the street have already been arrested."
"My lord, you don't need to worry about those assassins anymore. There are so many patrolling soldiers on the streets. Those assassins won't be able to escape."
…………
These past two days, he led Xiang Yu and Li Cunxiao into the city.
They saw more than a dozen palace ladies carrying Shangguan Wan'er straight towards the inn.
These dozen or so palace ladies were accompanied by dozens of fully armed city guards.
They escorted Shangguan Wan'er.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The dozen or so fully armed soldiers knelt down with a thud: "Greetings, sir."
