The black-clad assassin appeared too suddenly, but Su Zhiruan did not hesitate. She reached out and picked up a teapot from the table in the carriage, and smashed it with all her strength in the direction of the assassin.
She used a lot of force, and the assassin didn't expect her to fight back, so he was hit hard.
There was a lot of noise here, and Fu Huaichu had been paying attention to the carriage. He quickly killed the assassin at hand with his sword, and then strode to the side of the carriage.
"You little girl, you have quite a strong hand." The black-clad assassin's head was bleeding, but he was not knocked unconscious. After he staggered to his feet, he looked at Su Zhiruan with an evil look in his eyes. He licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, drew out his soft sword, and without hesitation, the soft sword broke through the window. His face was grim, "Go to be buried with Fu Huaichu!"
The assassin moved too quickly. When Fu Huaichu saw his movements, his eyes were bloodshot. He ran over quickly and pierced the assassin's shoulder blade with a sword.
The black-clad assassin's arms suddenly lost strength and he fell to the ground, his bright red blood staining the snow red.
"Your Highness, behind you!" Su Zhiruan saw that there were two more assassins behind Fu Huaichu, so she immediately warned him. Looking at the frightened eyes of the two children Zhezhizheye behind her, she hugged the children and jumped out from the other side of the carriage.
Now, they definitely could not stay in the carriage. They didn't know how many assassins there were, but if they stayed in the carriage, they would be conspicuous and the carriage would certainly be the first to be attacked.
Su Zhiruan had learned some simple self-defense techniques in modern times, but facing a professionally trained assassin, it was obvious that her abilities were not enough.
He didn't bring many guards with him on this trip, but from what he could see now, there was an endless stream of assassins. All of the well-trained assassins were wearing black masks, and their every move was deadly.
The assassins' main target was Fu Huaichu. Perhaps because she was a weak, unarmed woman with two three-year-old children by her side, they thought it would be easy to get rid of them, so only one assassin stepped forward and prepared to kill the three of them.
At this time, Su Zhiruan was glad that she had taken Zhe Ye's dagger. She pretended to escape with the child in her arms, but after suddenly turning around, she stabbed the assassin to death with a single blow.
"Zhezhizheye, you guys hide here, and don't come out no matter what, do you understand?"
As she walked forward a distance, there were more trees on the roadside. Su Zhiruan found a hidden place and stuffed the two children into a tree hole. The entrance to the hole was very small and could only accommodate children. It was difficult for adults to even notice this place.
After the two children hid inside, Su Zhiruan felt a little worried, so she awakened the system in her mind.
"Is the system here? Come out and help." Seeing another assassin coming towards her, Su Zhiruan repeated her old trick, pretending to fall to the ground, her eyes turning into fear. After the assassin let down his guard, she killed him directly with the dagger hidden in her sleeve.
[Host, what happened? ]
As soon as the system came out, I saw the current scene.
It followed Su Zhiruan to this world, and went into hibernation after transmitting the plot to her. This was the first time that this world was awakened by her.
"The situation is critical. Help me create a sleight of hand to protect these two children." Su Zhiruan pointed to the tree hole behind him. "These are the children of the Son of the Plane. You should be able to prevent them from being discovered by the assassin."
[Without spoiling the plot, the system can provide convenience]
After that, the system set up a concealed sight at the entrance of the tree hole. From the surface, there was no tree hole at all, only a thick tree trunk.
"Mother... where are you going?" Zhezhi grabbed Su Zhiruan's skirt and held her brother's hand tightly with her other hand. Her big eyes were filled with fear. "Mother, there are only bad people outside."
"Don't be afraid, Zhezhi. Don't move. When the people from the palace come, follow them. Otherwise, don't go out when anyone comes," Su Zhiruan instructed, looking at Zheye and touching his head. "Zheye, be steady. Remember what your mother said."
Zhe Ye was also reluctant to let Su Zhiruan leave, but he knew that the kung fu he had learned was like a three-legged cat in front of a real assassin. If he and his sister stayed with their mother, they would only become a burden. It would be better for him to listen to his mother and stay here until it was safe before coming out.
After she finished speaking, Su Zhiruan saw another assassin, who aimed his crossbow at her and shot arrows straight at her.
She dodged and the assassin was killed by Fu Huaichu's guards with a single blow.
When she went back, the situation had improved a lot. The guards brought by Fu Huaichu were naturally not ordinary people. More than ten people took care of most of the assassins.
After Fu Huaichu saw her, he walked over quickly, then he hugged Su Zhiruan in his arms and asked nervously and anxiously, "Ruanruan, how are you? Are you injured? Where are the branches and leaves?"
Su Zhiruan shook his head. "I'm fine. Let the two children hide first and let them out when it's safe."
Fu Huaichu finally breathed a sigh of relief. His brows were furrowed, but he still held Su Zhiruan tightly in his arms. He pressed his forehead against Su Zhiruan's, "I'm sorry. I wanted to go out to enjoy the flowers with just the two of us and the children, but I didn't expect to put you in danger."
His voice was trembling slightly as he spoke, and he was afraid.
If he was not careful, whether something happened to Su Zhiruan or the child, he would be heartbroken.
"Have all the assassins been dealt with?" Su Zhiruan looked at the many corpses on the ground. The blood was about to dye the snow red. The horses of the carriage had been killed by the assassins long ago and were now lying in the snow. There were only three of the original dozen guards left, and they all had injuries of varying degrees.
Fu Huaichu shook his head, "I don't know, but we only have one horse now. Let the guards go back to the capital and tell the imperial guards to come look for us."
One of the guards took the initiative to stand up and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to return to the capital and bring my men with me."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Go ahead." Fu Huaichu nodded.
This person is his confidant, very capable and he can be trusted.
At this time, only Su Zhiruan, Fu Huaichu, and two guards were left in the snow.
"Your Highness, you and Miss Su, please get on the carriage quickly. It's snowing heavily outside." A guard went to check if there was an assassin pretending to be dead on the ground. Another guard said to Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan. He looked around and found that the two children were not there. The guard wanted to ask, but he found that he didn't know how to address them, so he could only ask, "Your Highness, Miss Su, why don't you see the young master and the young lady?"
"I hid them."
Su Zhiruan glanced towards the tree hole from a distance. As a mother, she was almost completely concerned about her two children at this moment.
It would be cold in the tree hole, but she didn't dare to take the risk.
If another wave of assassins appeared at this time, she would not take the risk as she was still young.
She would not expose her children to danger until reinforcements arrived from the palace.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, as if it was going to cover all the blood here.
Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan got on the carriage, and she wiped the dagger.
While they were unaware, the guard suddenly felt a chill on his neck when he was checking the assassin's body on the ground. Before he died, he widened his eyes and found that it was the assassin who had just pretended to be dead and fell to the ground.
