Sunlight slid through the windowpane, crept into the room, and fell on the two people sleeping in each other's arms.
"Um…"
Yun Zhourong slowly opened her eyes, and as she habitually wanted to stretch, she realized that there was someone next to her.
In an instant, memories flooded back, causing a blush to rise on her fair face. She quickly pulled the blanket over her face.
But after a while, she popped her head out to look at Ji Minxiu beside her.
The man was still fast asleep, his long eyelashes lying quietly, losing his devilish charm and gaining an innocent and docile look.
"It looks... a bit like a dog..." Yun Zhourong couldn't help but whisper.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Minxiu opened his eyes and quickly rolled over, pinning Yun Zhourong beneath him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Who are you calling a dog?"
Looking into those eyes, now filled with a predatory intensity, she couldn't help but shrink her neck further under the covers, whispering, "She doesn't look like a dog anymore... she looks like a wolf... she wants to eat people..."
Upon hearing this, Ji Minxiu smiled with pleasure and leaned close to Yun Zhourong's ear, saying, "You're right, I just want to eat people right now."
"Ah... um..."
The ambiguous atmosphere so close made Yun Zhourong feel both soft and tender. She was about to speak when she had already fallen for Ji Minxiu's passionate advances once again.
The newlyweds were practically inseparable, spending almost all their time together at home, feeling incredibly happy every day.
If it weren't for Ji Minxiu needing to teach those playboy skills and manage modern companies, and Yun Zhourong needing to manage cotton planting, the two of them would never want to be separated.
That day, Yun Zhourong was just about to come down from the mountain, but because some things had delayed her, she came down rather late.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
As a result, when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, countless arrows suddenly shot at them.
"Madam, be careful!"
Upon seeing this, the guards beside Yun Zhourong immediately stood in front of her and deflected the arrows one by one.
"Another assassination attempt is brewing."
Yun Zhourong had experienced many such assassination attempts, so she remained relatively calm.
He immediately took out bulletproof helmets and put them on himself and his guards, then took out shields for his guards before taking out his submachine gun.
"Bang bang bang..."
In an instant, gunshots rang out in the darkness, sounding particularly abrupt and jarring.
However, after firing for a while, she found that she hadn't harmed a single assassin.
"Madam, what's going on?"
The guards were already familiar with these weapons, so they weren't very surprised.
The only puzzling thing is where Yun Zhourong hides the weapon. It's such a big submachine gun; they usually can't tell that she carries it with her.
"have no idea."
Yun Zhourong shook her head, cautiously observing her surroundings as she prepared to leave with her guards.
She is now in the open while the enemy is in the shadows; we must not let our guard down.
"call out…"
However, before she could take two steps, a dull and piercing sound suddenly came again.
"Madam, be careful!"
Just then, a huge crossbow bolt descended from the sky and hurtled towards Yun Zhourong.
The size you see is as big as a long gun, and even a bulletproof vest can't stop it.
"Bang..."
Fortunately, the guards reacted quickly and blocked it with their shields in time.
Even so, the enormous impact caused the guard's hand to lose its strength instantly, and he collapsed to the ground in pain.
"Are you alright..."
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Before Yun Zhourong could react, there was another extremely loud whooshing sound in the sky; the enemy's crossbow bolts were fired again.
This scene made Yun Zhourong's face turn pale instantly. She realized that the other party had made thorough preparations and had figured out her strength.
This time, I'm afraid I can't escape this fate!
Unless someone breaks through from the outside, finds the enemy's hiding place, and then defeats them one by one.
She immediately thought of Ji Minxiu, but if she summoned him now, he would still be in the middle of the crossfire and wouldn't be able to help at all.
what to do?
Yun Zhourong gripped the safety buckle tightly, making a decision in her heart: even if she died here today, she absolutely could not let Ji Minxiu come over, otherwise she would only implicate him.
"Min-soo..."
Yun Zhourong couldn't hold back her tears. "If I have the chance in the next life, I still want to be your wife!"
She quickly wiped away her tears, a resolute look appearing in her eyes, and said to the guards, "Protect yourselves, there will definitely be another chance. I have plenty of shields, don't worry!"
She had considered releasing the tank, but firstly, the tank required entry from the top, and the enemy would never give her the opportunity to enter.
Secondly, if something were to happen to her, the existence of this tank could very likely implicate her family, since this thing is far too shocking, and her family would certainly never have peace again.
All she can do now is look for opportunities on defense, where she might still have a glimmer of hope.
"Bang bang bang..."
The crossbow bolts rained down, their immense impact shattering the shields time and again.
Before long, several guards, including Yun Zhourong, all had their hands split open, bleeding profusely, and could barely hold their shields.
"Pfft..."
Finally, the first victim appeared.
The crossbow bolt, powerful enough to hunt wild boars, pierced straight through the body of a guard.
"Afu!"
Upon seeing this, Yun Zhourong burst into tears and let out a sorrowful roar.
Guard Afu coughed up blood, forcing a weak smile as he said, "Madam, I was originally... a cripple... but to be able to protect you in the end... it's not a pity to die... you must live..."
Afu, the bodyguard, closed his eyes completely, but his expression was very peaceful.
After he lost his legs, he lived a life worse than that of pigs and dogs. It was Yun Zhourong and Ji Minxiu who gave him a decent life. He was very happy during this time. He was willing to die for his masters.
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...It's all my fault..."
Yun Zhourong was devastated and cried uncontrollably. These assassins were all after her; if it weren't for her, these guards wouldn't have died.
"Madam, you must pull yourself together! We can't let Afu die in vain!"
At this moment, the other three guards were also exhausted, but they still stayed by Yun Zhourong's side.
Looking at the blood-covered person in front of her, Yun Zhourong couldn't help but say, "They want to kill me. If I die, will you...?"
“If you were to die under our protection, we would have no face to face the master, and no face to live in this world.”
Upon hearing this, the guard quickly said, "Madam, we are determined to live and die with you. You cannot give up on us!"
"But…"
"Madam, be careful!"
Before Yun Zhourong could say anything, another crossbow bolt pierced heavily from the sky.
The guards quickly pushed her away, but the crossbow bolt still grazed her calf, and blood instantly stained her clothes.
Yun Zhourong lost her balance and staggered backward.
"Splash..."
The next second, I felt my feet dangling in mid-air, and then I fell down.
It turned out to be a deep trap, with many sharp bamboo spikes stuck in the bottom!
