Chapter 96: Guard and Draw the Sword for Him
Zhou Zhizhang didn't speak for a long time.
Li Ziyan's heart sank, and she shouted, "Zhou Zhizhang! We've been married for decades! If you don't save me, you'll be an ungrateful person!"
"Have you forgotten? When you were a poor boy, I married into the Zhou family despite my parents' objections, and washed clothes and cooked for you! It was me who bribed you--" The word "examiner" hadn't been uttered yet.
Zhou Zhizhang immediately interrupted: "That's enough."
She really just says whatever she wants! Just like her niece! Or are all the Li family members like this?!
Zhou Zhizhang clutched his sleeves and looked at Li Ziyan with complicated eyes: "Zi Yan, I hope you can understand me."
Li Ziyan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Ruo Su Luo made her angry, and Zhou Zhizhang and his son made her despair. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world was standing against her.
Li Ziyan looked at Zhou Yan sadly: "Son, what about you..."
Zhou Yan clenched his fists, enduring great pain, his eyes red. He wanted to be selfish just once, but after hearing what the people said, he suddenly had a sense of the overall situation in his mind.
He turned away and wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "Those Yan assassins are extremely vicious. Letting them go will cause more casualties..."
"I won't listen, I won't listen!" Li Ziyan suddenly trembled and cried out, "My Lord, I won't care if you take concubines anymore, is that okay?"
Zhou Zhizhang simply didn't want to chat with Li Ziyan.
Even now, she is still talking about taking a concubine.
Is this about taking a concubine?
But he did feel a little sympathy. After all, they had been married for decades, and he felt a little uncomfortable, so he sighed.
"Since you don't care about her life or death, then..." Yandamulie sneered and stabbed the long knife into Li Ziyan's abdomen.
"Madam Jing'an, please don't blame me in your grave. I told you that as long as your husband and son let us out of the city, you can live, but they won't let me go, they won't let you live!"
Li Ziyan screamed miserably, convulsing in agony, blood dripping from her body.
She fell to the ground.
Zhou Yan screamed in panic: "Ah! Mother!"
To Su Luo, it sounded so hypocritical.
Just as Zhou Yan was about to pounce, Yandamulie struck again, slicing off half of Li Ziyan's leg. He laughed heartily, "Haha, Marquis Jing'an, how does it feel to watch your wife have both legs chopped off by me? My Lord, where do you think I should strike next? How about here?"
Yandamulie pointed at Li Ziyan's neck.
Li Ziyan was covered in blood, and her misery and horror were indescribable. She wanted to live, and she seemed to want to live, so she crawled forward with difficulty.
The people around screamed! They had never seen such a bloody scene!
Marquis Jing'an turned his face slightly away, unable to bear to look.
Zhou Yan's eyes were red with rage, and he rushed forward recklessly, shouting to the people around him, "I didn't let those Yan assassins go because of my mother. Now my mother is dying, are you satisfied?"
"That's not right." Someone asked, "Were these Yan assassins brought into the capital by your mother?"
Zhou Yan froze in place, the bloody knife in his hand as if struck on the head. "What do you mean?"
The commander of the Imperial Guards presented his token and spoke sternly, "At dawn today, we received a dispatch from the Regent to assist in the investigation of the Yan assassins. It was your mother who assisted them in transporting this large box containing thirty-five assassins into the Shanhe Inn under the pretext of evading commercial taxes."
"Impossible!" Zhou Yan shook his head.
The imperial guards pushed out Nanny Ruiqing, who was already in shackles.
Nanny Ruiqing didn't dare to look Zhou Yan in the eye and plodded to her knees. "In this matter, it's the Madam and I who are at fault, but we didn't know they were spies from the State of Yan!"
She cried, and when she saw Yandamulie was about to chop off Li Ziyan's head, she rushed over desperately and pushed Yandamulie away.
"Madam! Madam!" she screamed.
The big knife tilted, and Ruiqing Ma's head fell to the ground and rolled forward!
Screams were heard from the people all around, and they ran away in all directions.
It was during this gap that Zhou Yan rushed over and carried Li Ziyan away.
Li Ziyan barely managed to survive and passed out.
Li Jiaojiao, who was following behind and watching all this, for some unknown reason, perhaps wanting to win back Zhou Yan, hurried over and shouted, "Cousin, leave my aunt to me. I will protect her."
Zhou Yan held a knife in his left hand, hugged Li Ziyan with his right hand, and frowned at Li Jiaojiao.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Li Jiaojiao poisoned and scratched Nan Jie'er. Zhou Yan didn't trust her and refused directly: "No, just protect yourself."
Li Jiaojiao stood there awkwardly, and saw suspicion and doubt in Zhou Yan's eyes.
These assassins are highly skilled in martial arts, fighting one against ten, and are desperate to survive.
Many people who were shot by arrows fell in front of the man in green.
Yandamulie was hit by an arrow in his left arm and said fiercely, "Kill him!"
The assassins swarmed towards Mo Jin and the man in green. Seeing the assassins getting closer and closer, and about to stab the man in green -
Su Luo drew out the Lingyue Sword from Yun Ran's hand, flew over the assassin's head, and stood back to back with the man in blue!
Zhou Yan stood there in shock!
Even Mo Jin didn't expect Su Luo to take action.
What is the relationship between this man in green and Su Luo? Mo Jin narrowed his eyes.
The soldiers of Jin Suwei surrounded the Shanhe Inn tightly. Yan Damulie wanted to escape and threatened Mo Jin. He took the remaining half of the assassins and attacked Qin Zhengyu, Chen Song and others.
The attack was fierce and they killed without regard for their lives.
Qin Zhengyu was stabbed in the calf and knelt on one knee.
Chen Song growled and protected Qin Zhengyu.
Mo Jin's face instantly darkened, he drew his sword, and his eyes became as sinister as the abyss.
Su Luo's situation is not much better.
The other half of the assassins were determined to avenge their compatriots who had been shot dead. Their eyes were red with blood. The man in green had more and more wounds on his body. He said in a deep voice, "Miss Su Qi, do you know what you are doing? If something happens to you, how will Madam Su survive?"
"I'll fight my way out, and you escape." The man grabbed Su Luo's wrist, intending to throw her out of the encirclement.
But Su Luo grabbed her wrist and smiled brightly: "Fourth brother, I won't leave."
When he heard the word "fourth brother", the man in blue's fingers trembled.
The situation on Qin Zhengyu and Chen Song's side was not optimistic. Both of them were injured, and a sharp sword pierced Mo Jin's nose!
Mo Jin stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold and gloomy, without any movement.
He was betting whether Su Luo would also draw her sword for him?
