Chapter 33: Encountering an Assassin at the Post Station
Lizhou Post Station.
Jiang Ruo and the others looked at the somewhat shabby post station in front of them, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
"Guard Qin, this post station is a bit... uh, shabby!"
Qin Zhen and his companions looked at the gloomy sky and were all upset.
Who just said that it was going to rain soon and we should find a place to shelter from the rain?
Qin Zhen gritted his teeth, veins throbbing on his forehead. "Mrs. Xiao, the weather is bad, I'm sorry to bother you!"
In just a few days, he was almost pissed off to death by this woman.
Xiao Chengjin: Haha~ It’s your honor to be pissed off to death by my Ruoruo.
The postmaster and postmen of the post station were stunned.
Just now, this official quietly revealed that they were the group of people led by His Royal Highness Prince An who had just been demoted and exiled.
Ugh, you've fallen to this point, and you still dare to be picky.
They also wanted to make the post station more grand, but they didn't have enough funds!
"It's nothing for me. I'm just afraid of wronging my husband." Jiang Ruo said, looking at Xiao Chengjin on An Er's back with a sad face.
Qin Zhen waved his palm and said helplessly to the postmaster: "Take them to the best room."
We have to find a way to send them to Jizhou as quickly as possible.
Alas, this is the most frustrating job I have ever done in my life.
Not only did he not get any benefits, but he was also scolded like a grandson all day long.
I won't say any more, it's all tears...
After checking into the inn, it started to rain lightly outside.
The night deepens.
Jiang Ruo couldn't help feeling annoyed when listening to the sound of rain outside. For some reason, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the room.
She stood up and sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at Xiao Chengjin's handsome face in a daze.
This journey...seems a little too smooth.
In the plot, they encountered several waves of assassins.
No, I have to be very alert tonight.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruo pinched Xiao Chengjin's chin and said, "For you, I am really worried to death."
"Tell me, how are you going to repay me?"
Xiao Chengjin: "......"
I want to repay you with my body.
Uh, did she sense something?
Based on his understanding of his good brother, the emperor would not give up until he found what he wanted.
I'm afraid tonight will be a sleepless night.
Jiang Ruo got up, put on her clothes, and went to Dongxue and Aunt Liu's room, and warned them: "If you hear fighting outside in the middle of the night, you must hide and never come out."
When Aunt Liu and Dongxue heard this, they immediately became anxious, "Madam, what about you?"
"I have kung fu to protect myself, I'll be fine."
Under the worried eyes of Dongxue and Aunt Liu, Jiang Ruo went out again to instruct several secret guards, "If you can't win, run away. Don't lose your life for this."
An Er and the others looked at each other and nodded solemnly.
Tonight, a fierce battle is inevitable.
Before checking into the inn, they sensed a hidden murderous aura nearby and were always ready to pounce.
As secret guards, they are always ready to fight and die for their masters...
But the lady always warned them: The most important thing for a person to do while alive is to save his life.
This is exactly the opposite of the philosophy they have accepted.
Heavy rain covered the entire post station, and the others were tired from the journey and fell into a deep sleep.
At midnight, the rain got heavier.
A strong murderous aura gradually approached the post station...
Jiang Ruo suddenly opened her eyes in the dark night.
Here it comes...
Damn it, tonight they will come alive but leave dead.
With the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, Xiao Chengjin's hearing and physical senses became very sharp.
When he sensed the vague murderous aura, he secretly prayed that Jiang Ruo would hide in her private space.
"Don't be afraid, I'll be back soon." Jiang Ruo quickly sent Xiao Chengjin into the space and picked up the prepared sword.
Xiao Chengjin: Ruoruo, come back to me.
Xiao Chengjin, who was placed in the space, was almost going crazy.
Thinking of the scene on the day he was attacked, Xiao Chengjin still felt a little scared.
Those assassins were the death squads trained by Xiao Junze. They were highly skilled in martial arts and had killed countless people.
Xiao Chengjin held his breath, concentrating his mind, trying to break free from the restraints in his body...
At this moment, An Er and his men were already fighting with the assassin outside the post station.
The swords collided, making a harsh sound.
Along with the rain, a strong smell of blood emanated from outside the post station...
Jiang Ruo saw from the second-floor window a dozen men in black fighting against An Er and his men, and instantly became angry.
She cursed and spat, "Damn it, the dog emperor has no moral principles." She drew her sword and flew down.
How can you be considered a hero if you use your numbers to bully the few?
Jiang Ruo's appearance made several secret guards worried and they fought even harder.
They want to stay alive, live to protect the lady, and live to see their master get better.
When the assassins saw that it was a woman, they didn't take it seriously.
Jiang Ruo looked down on her when she saw her.
very good!
Today I will let you see how you died under my sword.
The heavier the rain, the more intense the battle became. Compared with the dozen or so assassins, An Er and his men were clearly at a disadvantage.
The rain blurred their vision.
Jiang Ruo took advantage of the space and disappeared into it at the critical moment. The next moment, the sword in her hand pierced the assassin's chest directly...
It was my first time killing someone, so it would be a lie to say I wasn’t nervous.
But seeing how An Er and his men, despite being injured, were still fighting desperately, she gradually became furious...
With the addition of Jiang Ruo, the invisible boss, An Er and his companions gradually got a chance to catch their breath.
Gradually, the smell of blood filled the entire post station.
When Qin Zhen and his companions sensed the bloody smell, they knew that it was the assassins sent by Xiao Junze.
At this moment, they are in a dilemma...
If I intervene to fight against the assassin, I will not be able to explain to the emperor.
After all, Jingcheng has his own family.
No matter what! I still feel a bit guilty.
Although Princess An was an irritating woman, she still gave them plenty of delicious food and drinks.
Qin Zhen covered his ears, his face tangled as he engaged in a fierce ideological struggle with himself...
The sounds of fighting outside gradually died down.
An Er and his companions were exhausted and had to use their swords to support themselves, barely holding up their shaky bodies.
The last assassin who fought with Jiang Ruo paid a little attention to look at his brothers who were lying on the ground, and was immediately filled with fear.
They really underestimated this woman.
This time, I'm afraid all of it will be lost.
In that instant, he saw with his own eyes that the woman in front of him suddenly disappeared...
He didn't have time to react.
"puff......"
The next moment, I felt a sharp pain in my chest.
His pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at the sword on his chest in disbelief.
The sword in his hand slipped to the ground, and the assassin pointed at Jiang Ruo with trembling fingers, "You, you are a demon..."
Not far away, An Er and his men held their breath. What just happened was...
