In the shadow of the night, Xu Tianze held the reins tightly and looked back from time to time. The galloping horses and the slightly damaged carriage were speeding past on the bumpy road.
However, the constant feeling of weakness in his body made Xu Tianze feel a little overwhelmed. He could only drive the carriage by feeling with his eyes half closed.
Xu Tianze knew in his heart that the backlash was not just coming early, but was about to happen. This time he might really be in trouble. Perhaps he could only rely on Long Musi, whose life or death was unknown, to help him fulfill his last wish of redress.
Xu Tianze forced himself to open his eyes and looked at the road ahead. His pupils dilated in an instant and he pulled the reins with all his might, stopping the carriage at the last moment to avoid falling directly off the cliff.
But the stopping of the carriage meant the arrival of this moment. The sharp sound of arrows pierced the night sky, and the carriage made a jingling sound. Xu Tianze's eyes darkened, and then he turned over and got off the carriage.
"I thought your group's target was the third prince, but I didn't expect that the real target was me. It was really a good plan." Xu Tianze looked at the assassins who surrounded him sarcastically.
The bloodstains on the back of the carriage could not be faked. If the target of this group of people was really Long Muse, then the living Long Muse must be more valuable than the dead Long Muse.
But the smell of blood had clearly dissipated all the way, but the moment the carriage stopped, they still rained arrows down, as if they didn't care at all whether the people in the carriage were still alive.
In this situation, the people in the carriage must be killed, and the target can only be him.
He and Long Muse had misunderstood each other from the beginning. Even if Long Muse had not been riding in the same carriage as Xu Tianze from the beginning, he might not have been injured because of him.
"As expected of a member of the Xu family, Brother Aze is extremely smart." Jiang Xue walked out from the darkness, followed by Cuizhu.
Jiang Xue spent a lot of effort and now she has finally got the result she wanted. It was worth it for her to let Cuizhu run around with a large amount of banknotes. Xu Tianze and Long Musi actually thought at the beginning that it was the other princes' people who came to take the opportunity to get rid of the third prince.
Xu Tianze was even more stupid, and he really wanted to sacrifice himself for Long Musi. It was good this way, she had finally caught the troublemaker Xu Tianze.
"Who was I thinking? It turns out to be the wife of the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, who is well-known in the capital." Xu Tianze pretended to be enlightened, but actually emphasized the words "well-known" and "wife of the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion" and emphasized his tone.
This made Jiang Xue so angry that she gnashed her teeth. She was well-known in Shangjing City. Now even a child in Shangjing City knew that Jiang Xue was unfaithful to her husband. She not only seduced her own eldest brother to think about him day and night, but also openly slept with a wild man.
Not to mention that Jiang Xue is the prince's wife, it has long been in name only. Song Yu and her quarrels have become commonplace. Now she is not as adept at managing the affairs of the mansion as before.
"Stop talking nonsense! Xu Tianze, today is the day you die!" Jiang Xue's eyes were cold, as if she was looking at a dead person.
"Jiang Xue, you don't think that I can surrender just because of these few trash, do you?" Xu Tianze snorted disdainfully, his slightly trembling body hidden under his robe revealing his powerlessness.
"We'll know if it works if we try it. Go!" Jiang Xue replied to Xu Tianze nonchalantly, and then ordered the assassins to take action.
After all, there are at least twenty or thirty people. If she can't catch Xu Tianze, she will be a waste. What's more, she can't stay for a long time. After all, she is not sure how long she can delay the group of Long Muse's secret guards.
Xu Tianze sighed in his heart. Not to mention that he might not be able to defeat these twenty or thirty people even in his prime, judging from his current situation, he would probably be defeated even if he could only defeat four or five people.
But it was impossible for him not to even resist. As an assassin came towards him with a knife, Xu Tianze took a step to the left, dodged sideways, and raised the whip in his hand, lashing the assassin's eyes.
Watching the assassin who was hit in the eye scream in pain, Xu Tianze suddenly noticed the sound of breaking air behind him, but his reaction speed decreased and he had no way to dodge it directly. He could only bear it and then use his backhand to throw the powder in his sleeve behind him.
But two fists are no match for four hands. After dealing with the two people who rushed forward first, the rest of the people rushed forward. Xu Tianze didn't hold on for long before he was captured by the assassin.
"I thought Brother Tianze was so capable, and he spoke so arrogantly, but I didn't expect him to be such a coward." Jiang Xue clapped her hands symbolically and walked over slowly, with the sarcasm at the corner of her mouth extremely obvious.
"Bah, you can kill me or chop me up as you like, but stop disgusting me here." The hair on Xu Tianze's forehead was already wet with sweat, and his pale face was full of cruelty.
"Xu Tianze, you are still like this even when you are about to die. I want to see how hard your bones are!" Jiang Xue dodged Xu Tianze's saliva attack.
If she had been a little slower, the pleated skirt she was wearing today would have been ruined. Jiang Xue signaled the assassins on both sides to step forward and hold Xu Tianze still.
"Xu Tianze, do you remember that night three years ago?" Jiang Xue slapped Xu Tianze in the face and looked at him with disdain, a strange smile on her lips. "How about I let you recall that feeling tonight?"
Xu Tianze laughed instead of getting angry when he heard Jiang Xue's words, then stared at Jiang Xue fiercely: "As the wife of a dignified prince, you only have these two tricks. Or do you think that a man of seven feet tall still cares about his innocence?"
Or would Xu Tianze fall into traps again and again in front of Jiang Xue? That really underestimated Xu Tianze. Three years ago, Jiang Xue had someone humiliate him in the dilapidated temple. Now she actually wanted to humiliate him with the same idea. It was really a fantasy.
It was also his fault that he overestimated Jiang Xue. After all, no matter what, Jiang Xue was just a woman in the deep house. Apart from the secrets in the backyard, she had no other abilities.
I guess the Xu family's affairs were just someone else using this idiot's hands.
Thinking of this, Xu Tianze used his internal energy to break free from the restraints, sprinkled the last medicinal powder in his hand to Jiang Xue and Cui Zhu, then turned and ran towards the cliff. Even if he died, he would never let Jiang Xue succeed again, not to mention that there was no certainty that there was still a glimmer of hope for survival if he jumped off the cliff.
Just when Xu Tianze said that, Jiang Xue had a bad premonition in her heart. Sure enough, she saw Xu Tianze sprinkling powder at her. After quickly dodging, she saw Xu Tianze break free from the restraints of the two idiots.
The knee-jerk reaction was to give the order: "Release! Shoot him to death!"
Xu Tianze jumped towards the cliff, and then he heard Jiang Xue's order. The next moment, several arrows broke through the air and pierced Xu Tianze's body. Xu Tianze fell straight towards the cliff.
Finally, besides the whistling sound of the wind, he heard a familiar voice shouting in the distance: "Don't—"
