Chapter 168 What? Still want to escape?
Immediately afterwards, several cold lights poured in, and several guards fell to the ground before they could even draw their weapons.
"who!"
Helian Shu screamed and hid behind several palace maids. Su Wan, with a pale face, knocked over the teacup and moved to Helian Shu's side.
Suddenly, a figure climbed in through the window like a ghost. It was a masked woman with an enchanting figure.
But she jumped into the hall, glanced at Xi Yan lying on the ground, her pupils suddenly contracted, and then she viciously pulled out the long sword from her waist, and pointed the tip of the sword at Helian Shu and Su Wan:
"You two bitches, your lives have come to an end. I'm going to take you off my feet!"
As he spoke, the long sword stabbed towards Helian Shu and Su Wan with a sound of breaking through the air!
But at this moment, a whistle sounded, and countless guards rushed out from all directions and surrounded her in an instant.
Eunuch Li suddenly walked in from outside and said with a sinister smile:
"I was expecting someone to come and rescue me. What a pity, it's a woman! But now that she's here, you can't leave!"
The woman sneered:
"Just relying on you filthy bastards, you think you can stop me?"
As he spoke, he threw out three poisoned locust stones with his backhand. Some guards hurriedly protected Eunuch Li and swung their swords horizontally. The poisonous stones hit the pillars, corroding them into black spots that made sizzling sounds.
At any moment, she grabbed Xiyan's arm with lightning speed and pulled her up from the ground:
"Walk!"
As she threw it back, a cloud of purple mist suddenly exploded in the hall. When everyone was coughing and wiping their eyes, the woman had already protected Xiyan and broke out of the door.
Eunuch Li sneered and waved his hand:
"They can't run away, chase them!"
…
Xiyan was pulled by the woman and jumped onto the roof.
Only then could the throat that had just been choked by water make a hoarse sound:
"Manluo, are you crazy? Who told you to enter the palace so rashly?"
It turned out that Xiyan recognized the woman as Manluo the moment she appeared.
Sure enough, she guessed it right.
"After you were taken away by that rootless thing, Chunliu sent me a Blood Eagle message. Could I really watch you die?"
Manluo spoke as she tapped the Taihu stones with her toes and flung out several poisonous needles, shooting down several guards who had climbed onto the ridge of the palace. However, there was a hint of resentment in her eyes:
"I said you were a master of martial arts, but you were nearly beaten to death by those losers. If I had come a step later, you would have swallowed the Dust-Breaking Pearl and died."
Xiyan was extremely anxious:
"You shouldn't have come! Do you know that the Queen has already laid a tight net. Not only me, but even you can't escape."
Manluo sneered:
"I can't care about so many things. I can't just watch you die! Don't worry, I've changed my appearance, and no one will recognize my identity. Even if I can't save you today, I will die with you!"
"You... why are you doing this!"
Xiyan said this, but a trace of tears appeared in her eyes. She subconsciously asked:
"Your Majesty, does he know?"
"Before I came, I asked Chunliu to deliver a letter to the Ministry of Justice. If he is willing to come, I believe he will arrive soon. But..."
Manluo didn't say anything else.
Xiyan understood that the Queen had set a tight net today, just waiting for Xiao Nanyan to fall into it.
If he came, he would be in danger of death, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Determined to avenge his father, he endured eight years of hardship and sleep on straw. How could he, Xiao Nanyan, give up all his efforts for a servant girl like her?
It’s okay if you don’t come!
The sound of killing behind them was deafening, and bows and arrows were fired. Manluo jumped off the roof with Xiyan and rushed towards the palace wall along the path.
Just as the two of them saw the palace wall and were running as fast as they could, a blood-red shadow flashed out in front of them, blocking their way with a long sword.
"Why, do you still want to escape?"
The two men suddenly stopped and were horrified when they saw who was coming.
The one blocking the way was none other than the Poison King Chu Jin!
But he clenched his sword tightly in his hand, his eyes flashing with cold light, and fell lightly on Manluo:
"You? You're quite courageous. You actually dared to break into the palace and commit murder in broad daylight. Have you had enough of living?"
When Manluo saw that it was Chu Jin, she was so angry that her teeth were grinding:
"A good dog doesn't block the road! Get out of the way!"
As soon as Xiyan saw Chu Jin, she knew that he must have participated in this plan under the Queen's order. He was afraid that he would be in danger today. She did not want to implicate Manluo, so she stepped forward and said coldly:
"Master Imperial Master, she is a friend of mine. She risked her life to save me because she was worried about my safety. The Empress is trying to accuse me of a crime, not hers. Please be kind and take me back and let her go!"
Chu Jin snorted coldly, his gaze passed Xi Yan and fell on Manluo beside him. His eyes seemed to be filled with poison as they slowly moved up from Manluo's slender waist to her face covered by a green veil. He suddenly curled his lips:
"Friends? Your friends are good at martial arts and poisons. How can a servant like you in the Prince Regent's Palace know such friends in the martial arts world? This is really strange!"
