Chapter 13: Hunting in the wilderness, the poison of the moon
Twelve and others were trapped in Huiyun Inn. The aunt led people to hunt down Shang Yuwan and others. A drama of chase was unfolding in Dancheng, and in Yanmen City, there was also an undercurrent of blood and rain.
Zhang Jiuqian was dressed in casual clothes, sitting at the desk, wiping the blade carelessly, and ignoring the person standing opposite him.
"General, have you forgotten who helped you take this position?"
The person who spoke stood in front of Zhang Jiuquan, wearing the clothes of a guard from Zhenxi Mansion.
But his face showed an expression of superiority.
"Hmph." Zhang Jiuquan's tone was full of sarcasm. What he had done was already known, so there was no need for him to pretend to be submissive at this moment.
"Help me? All you want is a puppet." The hatred that had been suppressed for so long in his heart gradually seeped out. "If you hadn't schemed to sow discord between us, how could I have harmed the general in my impulsive behavior?"
"Oh, that's truly pathetic. You've been putting on an act, waiting for someone capable of overturning the Shang family's case to appear, right?" The man said with a sarcastic tone, "A plot to sow discord? Didn't you fall for their plot? Oh, I almost forgot, you fell for it willingly. But the general's vision is truly terrible. Do you think a little girl can bring down the Crown Prince?"
The smile on the man's face grew wider.
"The general is really a brainless person."
Zhang Jiuquan noticed something was wrong and stopped wiping the knife.
"What do you mean?"
The man covered his mouth and sneered, "General, do you really think that there is no one behind our Crown Prince?"
"The land of Dayu is vast, and there are plenty of skilled killers, aren't there?"
Zhang Jiuquan was filled with anger. He stood up, stepped onto the table, and rushed towards the person who spoke with the long knife in his hand.
Suddenly, several people appeared and exchanged several moves with Zhang Jiuquan in the blink of an eye.
"Shi Kun!"
Zhang Jiuquan roared angrily. He was outnumbered and was kicked in the legs, forcing him to kneel down. A long sword was placed at his neck and his arms were pulled behind his back, making him unable to move.
Shi Kun sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, his movements slow and measured. "General, please don't get angry. If you get angry and make yourself sick, who will guard Yanmen?"
"..." Zhang Jiuquan laughed in anger, "You can't kill me, you can't kill me now!"
"The position of General Zhenxi is comparable to that of a second-rank official, responsible for maintaining stability on Dayu's western border. If the position is changed too many times, rumors will spread among the people, and even the Crown Prince's backers will find it difficult to silence the gossip!"
"I will always keep an eye on you! The general's ghost will always keep an eye on you!"
"Yes, yes. The position of Zhenxi cannot be changed frequently. Then let's play a game. What do you think, General?"
Shi Kun stood up, walked to Zhang Jiuquan, reached out and grabbed his chin forcefully.
His face was sinister, revealing his sharp teeth. "Look, your eyes or His Royal Highness's eyes. Which is bigger, more numerous, and more beautiful?"
"Deputy Boss! Take them and run first! I'll cover you!"
Shang Yuwan and others fled all the way to a deserted area outside Dancheng. No one stopped them at the city gate. It seemed that the rebellious lord of Dancheng did not want inexplicable deaths to appear in the city after dawn.
Shang Yuwan's veil had fallen somewhere long ago, and her clothes were stained. A silver needle flew towards Lu Heying, who was carrying Xiao Qingxu on her back. She immediately dodged the black-clad woman she was fighting with and flew over to knock it away with her long sword.
These people's moves looked familiar. Who was it? Who had she seen using them in her past life?!
"Stop joking!" Ji Suxian whipped a woman in black around the waist and flung her away, "Brother Xiao won't leave if he can't take you with him!"
Lu Heying carried Xiao Qingxu, who was exhausted, on his back. It was a bit strenuous. After all, he was tall, but he could still hold on. "Don't fight, running is the best option!"
All the guests they brought with them were killed by the women in black. Now there are only four of them left, but there are still more than ten on the other side!
My aunt took a deep breath and said impatiently, "Hold on tight, don't dawdle."
The other women in black remained silent, but their attacks became more fierce.
Lu Heying cursed inwardly, these people are quite powerful! When did the prince keep such a bunch of women?! If this continues, they will all die here!
Xiao Qingxu broke out in a cold sweat as he pondered the current situation. "If we can't escape, we'll try to delay. If Twelve and the others can't find us at the inn, they'll come looking for us..."
"careful!"
Shang Yuwan saw eight silver needles shooting towards Lu Heying and the others, so he stretched out his hand and used his long sword to knock them all away. Seeing this, his aunt immediately started fighting with Shang Yuwan, and then quickly shot a needle at Shang Yuwan.
This person seems to know their moves and is the most skilled martial artist here. Kill her first!
"Ugh!" Shang Yuwan twisted his body to avoid the attack. Although the needle didn't hit his neck, it still pierced his collarbone.
"Shang..." Xiao Qingxu instantly regained most of his energy and shouted, "Quickly pull it out!"
In the blink of an eye, a woman in black saw that Lu Heying and Xiao Qingxu were distracted at the same time, and immediately slashed at them with a sword. The next second, Xiao Qingxu pushed Lu Heying away and barely dodged it. He rolled to the ground and drew the rapier from his sleeve to fight against her.
"A mantis trying to stop a chariot." The woman in black said coldly. Lu Heying didn't care about Shang Yuwan, and used his sword to protect Xiao Qingxu, who was obviously no match for him and had no strength in his hands.
"Hey! Are you okay?" Ji Suxian swung the whip violently, injuring several women in black, and rushed straight to Shang Yuwan's side.
Shang Yuwan pulled out the silver needle with one hand, "Don't worry, Miss Ji, I didn't..."
"I told you not to call me Miss Ji! Do you feel anything is wrong? Give me your hand so I can see if there is anything..."
Ji Suxian whipped the two men away again. Shang Yuwan wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt his blood boiling and he spit out a mouthful of blood.
"--cough!"
"It's poisonous..." Before Ji Su finished her words, she saw the tragic scene of Shang Yuwan bleeding from the mouth and nose.
“Cough cough cough cough cough!!! Uwaa ...
Shang Yuwan knelt down and managed to avoid falling by stabbing the ground with a knife. She stretched out her other hand to cover her mouth and nose, blood flowing out from between her fingers, her pupils trembling, and her mind quickly becoming dizzy.
In her blurred vision, the silver needle that fell to the ground looked ordinary and seemed to be nothing unusual.
She remembered, she remembered!
This is not an ordinary...Moon Poison Needle, this is a Moon Poison Needle!
The women in black slowed down their attack and slowly surrounded the four of them.
"You are... Lang Jiang..." Shang Yuwan finally couldn't hold on and fainted.
Xiao Qingxu threw away his sword and ran to Shang Yuwan's side to catch her falling body. Ji Suxian knelt on one knee and reached out to feel Shang Yuwan's pulse, his face changed drastically.
Xiao Qingxu became even more flustered when he saw this.
Xiao Qingxu grabbed Ji Suxian's arm in panic, "Little sister, save her, save her! Save her! Brother Xiao, please, I beg you to save her, save her..."
"This is..." Ji Suxian's face and tone were as stiff as ever. "This is Langjiang's secret poison, the Moon Poison. I don't have an antidote. I..."
Lu Heying held the long sword in his hand with full concentration, constantly thinking about how to escape from this dangerous situation.
Twelve, why haven't they arrived yet?!
Their brothers and sisters are only good at martial arts and medical skills, and the only one who is the best at fighting has fainted from poisoning!
Seeing this, my aunt gestured, "Go ahead, kill them and leave."
The women in black were all about to take action when a sound of breaking air reached my aunt's ears. Her pupils suddenly shrank and she immediately dodged to the side.
A long knife fell from the sky and stabbed into the ground!
My aunt turned around and saw a group of masked men covered in blood. They didn't say a word and rushed forward, each move was deadly.
It’s Twelve, and Bai Xiaoye, Cheng Yishui and others are here!
