Taking advantage of a lull in the fighting, the madman and Qiu Qing quietly approached Yunzhi's carriage. They only wanted Yunzhi's life; they didn't care about Rulan and Rumei.
Yunzhi knew what was going on when the two got off the carriage, so when they approached the carriage to poison her, she smiled and asked, "What do you two want to do?"
The madman and Qiu Qing were startled when they heard Yunzhi's voice. When they looked up, they found her smiling at them.
"I won't do anything." The madman shook his head, saying he wouldn't do anything, but his hands were not idle; he was preparing to poison Yunzhi.
Yunzhi naturally noticed the other party's little actions and asked with a smile, "Since you're not doing anything, what are you holding in your hand?"
The madman was startled and looked at Yunzhi in disbelief, not expecting that she had discovered his little trick.
But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and he had no choice but to release it. He had already reached Yunzhi's side, so naturally he couldn't just do nothing.
Therefore, he glanced at Qiu Qing, and then simultaneously attacked Yun Zhi. One pretended to kill Yun Zhi, while the other poisoned her.
They initially thought this approach would increase the chances of success; even if Yunzhi wasn't killed by Qiu Qing, she would die from poisoning. However, they hadn't anticipated that Yunzhi had already taken precautions against them.
Not only did Qiu Qing fail, but the madman also failed. In fact, the poison he was supposed to put on Yunzhi was forced back by her and ended up on his own body.
The madman knew perfectly well how potent the poison was. Therefore, he immediately took out the antidote and swallowed it. But he forgot that he still had the incomplete antidote for the poison Wuxin had given him that day.
The poisons mixed together, creating a new toxin, rendering his prepared antidote completely useless.
Seeing his master poisoned, Qiu Qing was terrified. Forgetting about killing Yun Zhi, he picked him up and quickly ran towards his carriage.
However, before he could return to the carriage, someone attacked, forcing him to flee into the woods with the madman.
Watching the figure that forced Qiu Qing to leave, Yun Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly and cupped her hands in thanks.
She didn't know who the other person was, but it was true that they had helped her.
After thanking her, Yunzhi immediately looked away and then turned her gaze to Rulan and Rumei.
As the madman made his move, another group joined the fight. As a result, Rulan and Rumei gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, because this group of people were clearly more skilled than the men on horseback.
Seeing that Rulan and Rumei were in danger, Yunzhi was about to call them back. Just then, the man who had just forced the madman to escape suddenly came forward with several other people to help.
With help, Rulan and Rumei were immediately out of danger. The two fought with increasing ferocity, and soon the second wave of attackers were either killed or wounded.
Of course, Rulan and Rumei were also injured. But thankfully, they only suffered superficial wounds and it's nothing serious. Some medicine will do the trick in a bit.
Seeing that the battle was over, Yunzhi got off the carriage and walked towards the survivors. There were two groups of people, and one survivor was left from each group.
Seeing Yunzhi approach, Rulan and Rumei each brought a prisoner to her side.
As the two threw the prisoners to the ground, Rulan pointed to the people who had just helped them and said, "Miss, they were the ones who helped me and Sister Rumei."
Yunzhi glanced at those people, a guess flashing through her mind, and asked with a smile, "You must be the Regent's men, right?"
