"Who are you?!" Wu Lai asked as he slowly retreated. Although the four men who attacked were dressed in aristocratic clothes, their dark complexions and rough skin made them look nothing like aristocrats. Instead, judging from their skills, they looked like well-trained killers who cooperated with each other very well.

However, there were only three people left now. Although the man who was kicked in the neck by Wu Lai did not die, he fell to the ground and could not stand up for a while.

People around him began to flee in all directions, but Pompey remained calm. He asked his guard Torre to leave first, and he called out to the palace guards while pulling out the small dagger from his waist that he usually used to cut fruit. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the three assassins who were slowly approaching Wu Lai.

"Don't be afraid, Moonlight Girl, I'm here!" Pompey shouted while waving his dagger.

"Fuck you, you lecher!" Wu Lai couldn't help but curse loudly. When he saw Pompey rushing over with a dagger, he thought to himself that this guy was nice enough to rush over to help in such a dangerous situation. He was really touched for a moment. Now Pompey squeaked. It seems that he is here to play the hero to save the beauty? ? ? Wu Lai retreated slowly just now because the angle of the three assassins' double team was very perfect. No matter which of the Chinese people Wu Lai attacked, he had to resist the attacks of the other two. Wu Lai would not do such a thing as hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred, because he knew that in such a confrontation, it was most important to be careful and not reveal any flaws to the other party. It was only a fantasy to jump up and kick three people in the air with three consecutive kicks. Do you think you are in a movie? However, Pompey's heroic rescue of the beauty provided Wu Lai with an opportunity. After Pompey shouted, the three assassins quickly exchanged glances, and the man in the middle suddenly turned around and waved the dagger, turning his back to Wu Lai and confronting Pompey.

Sure enough, he is a good player. Wu Lai narrowed his eyes. With the skills of these three people, Pompey could be knocked down in a few moves by turning around at will when he rushed to the front. At this moment, the man in the middle actually threw his back to him immediately, obviously luring the enemy. Whether he rushed forward to take advantage or attacked any of the other two, this guy could turn around at the fastest speed and then hit him at the most tricky angle.

After praising in his heart, Wu Lai moved. Fighting one against three was not an option, and attacking one of them was not an option either. However, attacking two points at the same time was still no problem - because in order to avoid being defeated one by one, the three people double-teamed at a very small angle, small enough for Wu Lai to launch his fierce attack. Wu Lai had practiced this move for a long time but had no chance to use it. It required speed, accuracy, ruthlessness and unexpectedness.

Wu Lai immediately leaped forward - the two assassins on the left and right immediately crouched down and gathered their strength, with the tips of their daggers pointed at Wu Lai,...

When Wu Lai was about one-third of the way out, he suddenly jumped up. The two assassins on the left and right took another half step back and shouted a warning. The man in the middle began to turn around...

After bending his knees with his legs together in the air, Wu Lai shouted loudly, and spread his legs to the left and right, doing a split in the air, and kicked two people at the same time with the tip of his boot - the assassins on the left and right sides had never expected that Wu Lai could launch such an attack, and they were caught off guard and were both kicked in the shoulders. Under the heavy blow, the shoulder of the one on the right collapsed, and his right arm suddenly became limp. The one on the left reacted a little faster and was kicked in the left shoulder again. He turned his body to release the force, flipped his right arm, and cut Wu Lai's calf fiercely with the dagger. At the same time, the man in the middle just turned around.

It might have been better if he didn't turn around, but once he turned around, he happened to meet Wu Lai's knee head-on - this was the core of Wu Lai's fierce attack.

With a dull "bang", Wu Lai's right knee hit his chest hard. With an inaudible sound of bone cracking, the man's body flipped backwards involuntarily and fell heavily to the ground. Wu Lai, who fell to the ground with him, was not polite at all. He grabbed his face with both hands and twisted it hard. "Crack", the man's head tilted at a strange angle.

There were exclamations from all around again. They were that small group of people who were brave and curious. Of course, there were one or two who were so frightened at the beginning that their legs went weak and they couldn't run.

The exclamations were naturally not out of admiration for Wu Lai's fighting skills, but because they felt that his act of breaking the assassin's neck was too barbaric, bloody and violent.

After Wu Lai rolled forward and stood up, the attacks from the remaining two assassins arrived. Although the man on the right had a broken right shoulder and his dagger fell to the ground, he still rushed over regardless. With his momentum, if Wu Lai was hit, even if he was not injured, his center of gravity would inevitably be affected. You know, in a life-and-death fight, a slight shake could be fatal.

Although the assassin on the left had a murderous look on his face, he actually had lost his confidence. After the fight just now, he knew very well that the fewer people there were, the less chance he would have of winning against Wu Lai. Moreover, Wu Lai's main attack method was his legs, and he had protective gear tied to his legs...

It was one against two, and one of them had a broken right shoulder. How could Wu Lai be afraid? He just smiled coldly and quickly took a few steps back.

The quick retreat was naturally to pull the two assassins apart. Although Wu Lai was not afraid of a one-on-two situation, it did not mean that he would not underestimate the enemy. Besides, if he retreated, he could also meet up with Pompey who was rushing forward.

When Wu Lai took the third step back, the corner of his eye twitched suddenly, because groaning sounds suddenly rose and fell all around him, and people kept falling down. Pompey behind him only had time to shout "Wu Lai" before he fell to the ground.

Damn! Wu Lai did not retreat but rushed forward to the right. The assassin saw him rushing towards him and thrust his dagger straight at Wu Lai's throat.

Wu Lai continued to charge forward. Seeing his terrifying momentum, the assassin frowned and turned his right wrist, changing the straight stab to a horizontal cut. Unexpectedly, Wu Lai ducked and lowered his head to avoid the dagger at the moment before it hit him. The assassin was just surprised when he was hit by a heavy punch in the crotch. His nose and tears immediately burst into tears, and the cry of pain was still lingering in his throat when he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Bang" - the last assassin knocked Wu Lai down fiercely. Although his right arm was broken, his fighting spirit was still burning. After the sneak attack, he rushed forward again, trying to hold Wu Lai down with his body, and punched Wu Lai's cheek with his left hand...

"Lord Wu Lai! Priest Pompeii!" The shouts of a group of temple guards came from afar. Today is the ceremony day, and they are required to be on duty and patrol in various places as usual. The fact that they can arrive at this time already reflects their quality.

Wu Lai had no time to answer. Half of his body was pressed down and another heavy punch was coming. Naturally, he had to get away first. Fortunately, the last assassin was seriously injured and his speed and physical strength had decreased a lot. After he barely threw a punch, Wu Lai grabbed his left arm and turned over. He clamped his legs around his neck and twisted it, "Ka La"...

After dealing with the fourth assassin, Wu Lai immediately let go and stood up. The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. What if a few more come out? Wu Lai's pupils suddenly shrank just as he stood up halfway, because Maria was walking towards him quickly, with her left sleeve rolled up. On her snow-white arm, there was an exquisite object, with two arrows on the front end of the object, and these arrows were pointing at his chest.

"Who are you?" Wu Lai asked in a deep voice. His body suddenly shook and his left hand slowly covered his forehead.

After another shake, Wu Lai's eyes flashed with suspicion: "Xiu Jian? Who are you? Why did you poison me?"

"You held on for so long before starting to feel dizzy, Wuleglindo. I'm extremely surprised at your resistance." Maria's voice is still as sweet as her beauty, as always.

"Why, do you want to kill me..." Wu Lai fell to the ground, his voice becoming weaker.

"You don't need to know." Maria said, and her left hand shook. With a "tsk" sound, two arrows instantly shot towards Wu Lai. But the next moment, her heart sank, because at the moment she shook her hand, Wu Lai, who was gradually weakening, suddenly turned his body abruptly. The movement was so swift and the timing was so accurate. How could it be that he was poisoned? "Swish"... a bronze dagger that originally belonged to the assassin flew towards Maria like lightning...

"Puff", the dagger pierced directly into Maria's left thigh, almost without a handle, and blood immediately gushed out...

Maria fell to the ground with a groan, and looked at Wu Lai with surprise in her eyes.

"Lord Wu Lai!" The palace guards finally pushed aside the fleeing people and arrived.

"I'm fine!" Wu Lai frowned and looked around, "Save people first!"

The situation was not as serious as Wu Lai had imagined. The doctor who rushed over and examined him told him that the poison was a drug made from a poisonous mushroom called Epinephelus. Although it could cause the poisoned person to faint, vomit, and become limp, the effect of the drug would soon dissipate.

After hearing this, Wu Lai breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay if he was attacked, but if someone died this time, the impact on Salt Marsh Town would not be small.

"Does Longvington have the poisonous mushrooms that can be used to make this kind of drug?" Wu Lai asked. If there were, he would be happy to get them and store them in stock. Maybe they could come in handy in the future.

"Reporting to Lord Wu Lai, the origin of grouper mushrooms is not in Assyria, it only grows on the cliffs of Tianjuan territory." The doctor said confidently, and glanced at Wu Lai's bloody back, and said, "Lord Wu Lai, you are seriously injured, let me bandage you first."

"I'm not in a hurry. Bandage her first. Be careful when you draw the dagger." Wu Lai pointed at Maria, but a series of questions arose in his mind...

After everything was settled, Wu Lai arranged for Baker to take people to appease the guests. They came from far away to join in the fun, but were frightened for no reason. It would be unacceptable for him, as the host, not to show some attitude.

"Wuliglindo, if you don't hurry up and interrogate me, I might die." Maria, whose arms were twisted behind her back by a palace guard, suddenly said.

"You have no say on when the trial will be held." Wu Lai said with a frown.

"Even if you say when I die, it doesn't count," Maria said.

Wu Lai's brows furrowed even more...

The interrogation was in the afternoon. When Maria was escorted into Woolley's office by two palace guards, her face seemed to have aged twenty years, and her lips were paler than her face due to blood loss.

"Sit down." Wu Lai pointed to the chair in front of the desk.

Maria sat down as she was told, and after scanning the furnishings in the room, she said, "Wuliglindo, if you want to hear the truth, call these irrelevant people away. My hands are tied behind my back and my leg is injured. With your strength, you shouldn't be afraid, right?"

Wu Lai smiled and said, "Untie her and get out of here."

When the two guards left, El hesitated for a moment, walked out of the office quickly, closed the door gently, but also stretched out his hand to signal the two guards to guard the door with him.

"Woolelindo, you can ask now." Maria said, moving her arms.

"Okay." Wu Lai nodded. "First question, why don't you commit suicide?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This question was a bit strange, but Maria seemed to have expected Wu Lai to ask this question. She gave an answer without any surprise: "Because I have something to tell you."

"No." Wu Lai shook his head. "If you really have something to say, you wouldn't have shot me with your hidden arrow in the temple."

"You are wrong. If I had killed you at that time, I would certainly not need to say anything to you. Now that I have been captured by your people, I naturally have something to say." Maria said.

Wu Lai nodded: "Okay, what you said makes sense. Come on, what do you want to say to me?"

"I am a person favored by God." Maria's eyes met Wu Lai's scrutiny. "My purpose in staying in Assyria is to kill people at the right time, to kill those who need to be killed."

"Like?" Wu Lai frowned.

"I won't talk about the past. The one before you was your god of war and your teacher, Rinimont." Maria suddenly smiled.

"I don't believe it." Wu Lai's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Although he denied it out loud, his intuition told him that what the other party said was true.

"You should believe it. Rinimont has been dead for almost twelve days. As usual, you will receive news in a few days. After all, he is a military god. The Assyrian Supreme Council will not let him die quietly. Moreover, with Connor's temper, he will definitely make a big fuss about Rini's assassination and make the Assyrians have a deeper hatred for the Hurrites and Kimos." Maria said.

"Putting the blame on others is a good plot." Wu Lai narrowed his eyes. Maria dared to speak frankly because she knew that even if Wu Lai conveyed her words to the Supreme Council, no one would believe it, because the clues left at the scene of Lini's murder all pointed directly to the Huletts and Kimoans - Wu Lai naturally guessed it, so he gave her this praise.

"Why do you want to kill me? Don't tell me it's for my weapons." Wu Lai said.

"I won't tell you the specific reasons. I just want to tell you that if I don't kill you, the rise of the Tianjuan people will inevitably be frustrated." Maria said, "But there is no need to kill you now."

"Why?" Wu Lai frowned.

"Can I ask you a question first?" Maria smoothed her long hair, "Answer me and I will answer you."

"Okay." Wu Lai nodded.

"Why doesn't the grouper mushroom drug work on you?" Maria asked.

Wu Lai hesitated for a moment, opened a wooden box on the table, and took out a cigarette from it: "Because I have this." He was not making this up to fool Maria. When he was being bandaged, he curiously asked the doctor why he was not drugged. The doctor asked him if he had any unusual objects on him. After thinking about it, Wu Lai took out the cigarette box. After the doctor smelled it carefully, he nodded affirmatively and said, this is dried resurrection grass, it has a strong and spicy smell, which can just restrain the grouper mushroom.

"What is this?" Maria frowned slightly.

"Resurrection Grass." Wu Lai replied.

"I see. Well, the answer is not important anymore." Maria looked into Wu Lai's eyes again. "Wu Lai Grindo, you look a lot like someone I once admired. For this reason, I will answer your question."

Woolley nodded.

"The reason why I don't need to kill you is because..." Maria suddenly smiled brightly, as if something very happy happened in front of her at that moment, "Because if I die in front of you, the effect will be the same."

"You..." Wu Lai just frowned, and then he saw Maria had already slid down the chair, blood gushing out of her mouth and nose. It was obviously too late to save her...

Almost at the same time, in a secluded courtyard somewhere in Yanma Town, a woman opened the lid of a wooden box in her hand and took out a pigeon from it...

Three days later, the news of Rini's death reached Saltmarsh Town, and Woolley burst into tears...

At the same time, a pigeon flew into a house in Assyrian City. A moment later, Monadil, who was pacing in the yard, took a small copper tube handed to him by his men, unscrewed the lid and poured out a small note from it.

After opening it, a hint of surprise flashed across Monadil's eyes, and then his eyes slowly turned red.

After a long pause, Monadil turned around and said to his servants who were waiting by the side: "Go and invite the future saint here immediately and tell her that something has happened."

After his men agreed and left, Monadil unfolded the note again, which clearly read: The Holy Envoy was murdered, and the murderer was Wuleglindo.

After a while, a series of hurried footsteps reached Monadil's ears...
