After saying that, Zhou Zhaonuan seemed to use all his strength to fight against the opponent at this moment, and his mind was highly alert.
Caramel has been with Zhou Zhaonuan for many years, and his martial arts skills are not particularly good, just a dabbling one. At this moment, he is also fighting against the assassin to the death.
In the palace, because the emperor did not allow people to carry swords or knives, Jiao Tangtang only had a whip in his hand, which was chopped off by the assassin during the fight just now.
Caramel Tang's momentum remained undiminished. She took two deep breaths and leaned closely against Zhou Zhaonuan. The two of them were almost leaning against each other. Caramel Tang said something to Zhou Zhaonuan in a very low voice.
"Nuannuan, remember, if something bad happens, run as fast as you can. It doesn't matter if I die. You have to survive no matter what. Only by surviving can you find out who is behind this."
Zhou Zhaonuan refused to do so. She shook her head vigorously, "No, Tangtang, trust me, we will all be fine. If I had known this would happen, I would not have let Bilan leave the palace to work."
Zhou Zhaonuan was very upset. It seemed that even in the palace, she would have to be extremely alert and not let anyone take advantage of her.
While the assassin was thinking, but still keeping a close eye on them, afraid that they would run away, Zhou Zhaonuan grabbed Caramel Tang's hand hanging by her side.
"Tangtang, listen to me..."
"Princess Chang'an, give me your life!"
Before he could finish his sentence, the assassin suddenly raised his sword and slashed at Zhou Zhaonuan.
The assassin was extremely fast, but fortunately Zhou Zhaonuan reacted quickly and dodged the attack. After reacting, Zhou Zhaonuan was furious with fire in his eyes.
She raised the sword again and stabbed it towards the black-clad man's heart. At this moment, whether or not to leave any evidence was secondary. Her life and Caramel's life were the most important.
Seeing that his sword missed, the man in black seemed anxious and drew his sword again. "Hey, little girl, it seems that the emperor really treats you as his own daughter. You are very clever at your age and have learned martial arts. However, no matter how clever you are, it is useless. Today, I must kill you."
As he spoke, the man in black became ruthless. At this moment, he no longer cared about Jiao Tangtang. He stabbed Zhou Zhaonuan's vital points with one sword after another. Seeing Zhou Zhaonuan dodging the swords one by one by turning over, Jiao Tangtang was so anxious that she stomped her feet behind him. She had no weapon in her hand, only a broken whip. She couldn't reach him, so she stood up and chased him. However, the man in black and Zhou Zhaonuan were too fast. With her lightness skills, she couldn't catch up at all.
In a hurry, Jiaotangtang walked towards the gate. At this time, she had to go for help. She silently said in her heart, Nuannuan, you must hold on. I will go to Xuanzheng Hall and come back soon.
When Jiaotangtang left, Zhou Zhaonuan was still dodging the sword of the man in black. The man in black, who was highly skilled in martial arts, used one move after another, leaving her with no power to fight back and she could only try her best to dodge.
Finally, just when Zhou Zhaonuan was gasping for breath and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away, she closed her eyes and shouted "Stop" with a fearless attitude.
The man in black was obviously stunned, and then quickly put the sword to her neck, put one hand around Zhou Zhaonuan's waist, and threatened her fiercely.
"My dear little princess, even if you have learned martial arts for several years, your skills are nothing compared to a death warrior like me. I tell you the truth, today, you must die."
In the crisis, Zhou Zhaonuan's heart was calm instead. She tried her best to keep her breathing steady, raised her head, met the black-clothed man's deep and bottomless eyes, and spoke calmly.
"If you want me to die, fine, but you have to let me die knowingly. Tell me, who sent you here today?"
The man in black was shocked by Zhou Zhaonuan's calmness. He never thought that a girl who was only in her teens could be so calm and indifferent when facing life and death.
Of course, what he didn't know was that everything Zhou Zhaonuan did was just to buy time for himself and give him a fatal blow.
The man in black rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Well, I'm sorry, I can't tell you anything about this. My Lord, it's not difficult for you to figure it out."
The man in black only said this one sentence. Now that Zhou Zhaonuan was in his hands, it would be easy for him to kill her. He was obeying his master's orders anyway. The palace was majestic and there were many masters. He could not leave the palace today no matter what. It would be better for him to kill the little princess and then commit suicide.
The man in black didn't continue speaking. His lips were tightly pursed and his eyes were darting around, obviously thinking.
Zhou Zhaonuan blinked and asked, "If I was really going to die, why did you make me guess? Why not just tell me directly? But, if you save my life, maybe when the emperor comes later, I can save your life. Otherwise, even if you kill me, you won't be able to leave this palace. You will end up like me."
Feeling the cool temperature on her neck, Zhou Zhaonuan closed her eyes to hide the fear in her heart, and continued to stare with her eyes wide open, trying to convince the man in black. On the one hand, she was waiting for the opportunity to act.
"You might want to think about it before you kill me."
It must be said that the conditions Zhou Zhaonuan offered were very tempting, but he was a death warrior, and had only been able to follow one master since he was very young. Even if Zhou Zhaonuan could let him go, he might not be able to survive.
Thinking of this, the man in black looked even more determined. "It's useless. Even if you saved me, I wouldn't be able to survive. It's better to complete my own mission."
After saying that, the man in black exerted force with his hands, and with just a slight kick, blood started to seep out of Zhou Zhaonuan's neck. In a flash, Zhou Zhaonuan raised his leg and kicked the man in black's private parts with a gorgeous kick. Then, the man in black rolled on the ground, covering his vitals in pain, with a distorted expression on his face.
"I...I'm going to kill you."
You stood up shakily with a knife in your hand, hacking around, as if you would only feel better if you cut Zhou Zhaonuan in half.
Taking a step back, Zhou Zhaonuan smiled arrogantly, and the little girl clapped her hands cunningly.
"Since you hesitated and were still thinking when you took action just now, then it is you who will fall into the abyss of no return."
"You...you are shameless and despicable!"
The man in black was extremely angry, with beads of sweat on his face. When Zhou Zhaonuan heard what he said, instead of being annoyed, she smiled even more happily.
"Shameless or not, I don't care. I only care about whether my own life can be saved. Also, let me tell you, this is called deception in war."
At this moment, the guards outside also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, they had wanted to force their way in, but at the moment of forcing their way in, the man in black was defeated.
They had wanted to come in at first, but it was because Zhou Zhaonuan had once told Zhou Beichen that if an assassin really broke into Yingyue Pavilion one day, there would be no need for guards in advance. If possible, she wanted to come by herself.
