Chapter 132 Weird totem, Zheng State?
The wine jar drew an arc in the air and exploded in front of those people with a "bang", splashing wine everywhere and instantly filled the air with a strong aroma of wine.
The trackers were startled by this sudden change. Before they could react, Gu Junze had already taken out a hidden weapon from his arms and shot it in their direction.
The hidden weapons flew towards everyone's vital points with a sharp sound of wind.
At the same time, a flash of fire passed by, and the fire starter was thrown accurately at them.
The flames instantly spread along with the splashing wine, and the stalkers were instantly engulfed in flames, letting out shrill screams.
They rolled around in panic, trying to put out the flames on their bodies. The scene was in chaos.
Gu Junze took this opportunity and exerted his strength again. The hidden weapons in his hand kept shooting out like a rain of pear blossoms, and each one hit the target accurately.
Several more stalkers were hit by hidden weapons and fell to the ground screaming, with blood oozing from their wounds.
Chu Ruohan felt relieved when she saw this, but the smell of burning human flesh was really pungent.
At this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky like a ghost, at a speed so fast that it was astonishing.
The sharp blade in his hand flashed with a cold light and stabbed straight towards Chu Ruohan and the other person.
"Han'er, be careful."
Gu Junze was quick-witted and quick-handed. He pulled Chu Ruohan into his arms. Chu Ruohan fell on his legs. The two of them leaned on each other tightly and avoided the fatal blow.
Ying Qing, who had been hiding in the dark, drew his sword. The sword reflected the blazing flames around it, and he rushed towards the black shadow with a fierce momentum.
"Dang!" The swords collided, making a crisp loud sound and sparks flying everywhere.
Yingqing and Heiying immediately engaged in a fierce confrontation. The two figures shuttled back and forth in the firelight, their movements as fast as lightning, dazzling the eyes.
Gu Junze hugged Chu Ruohan tightly and watched the battle in front of him vigilantly.
He knew very well that this black shadow that suddenly appeared was no ordinary person. Although Ying Qing was a martial arts master, the outcome was unpredictable when facing such a strong opponent.
The two fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner.
The fire on the stalkers was almost extinguished, and some even ignored their injuries and walked towards them with swords in hand.
Although they were in a miserable state, with their bodies charred and their clothes tattered, the murderous look in their eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Chu Ruohan's heart tightened and she subconsciously shrank into Gu Junze's arms.
Gu Junze patted her back gently and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He looked around. The alley was already narrow and there was no way to avoid it.
It's a great place to catch everything.
Ying Qing was worried about Gu Junze, so he shook the sword in his hand violently, forcing the black shadow to retreat a few steps. Then he took the opportunity to turn around and rushed towards Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan.
The three of them were surrounded.
"Hmph, you won't be able to escape today!" said a stalker viciously, the burns on his face making his expression look particularly ferocious.
"If you want our lives, then it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!" Ying Qing responded fearlessly, with a determined murderous intent in his eyes.
Four black shadows flew down from the roofs on both sides of the alley like meteors, and landed steadily in front of Gu Junze, Chu Ruohan and Ying Qing, protecting the three of them firmly behind them.
The leading shadow guard knelt on one knee and said respectfully to Gu Junze: "Master, I am late in saving you!"
The shadow guards were originally hiding in the city. When they saw Ying Qing's distress signal, the four people around him immediately came over.
Gu Junze nodded slightly, "You came at the right time."
Seeing this, the stalkers showed a hint of panic on their faces, but it was quickly replaced by ferocity.
They knew that there was no way out at this moment and they could only fight to the death.
They exchanged glances and, in unison, charged towards the shadow guards. For a moment, shouts of killing and the clash of weapons intertwined, resounding throughout the alley.
The shadow guards are well-trained and work in perfect harmony. It was no joke that ten people could guard a city.
Even Ying Qing was just an outside staff member, and his martial arts skills could not be compared with theirs.
The eldest princess was kind-hearted and set them free, allowing them to marry, have children, and live ordinary lives.
The shadow guard is agile and precise with every move, and carries a strong murderous aura that comes from having experienced life and death on the battlefield.
Gu Junze sat in a wheelchair, holding Chu Ruohan tightly, his eyes fixed on the battle situation.
This is a battle without a doubt!
The key lies in whether we can capture a living person and pry out clues about the mastermind behind the scenes from his mouth.
So, he shouted to the shadow guards, "Leave one alive!"
Upon hearing the order, the shadow guards immediately withdrew, and only one pursuer remained. He was at the end of his strength, and a look of despair appeared on his face.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he turned around and tried to escape. However, the shadow guards would not let him escape so easily. One of them flashed and blocked his way in an instant.
"Want to run? Not that easy!"
He was already frightened, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly.
The shadow guard kicked him on the wrist, knocking the sword out of his hand, then quickly stepped forward and twisted his arms behind his back.
"Bring it here!" said Gu Junze.
The stalker was forced by the shadow guard to kneel in front of Gu Junze. He lowered his head and his body trembled slightly, as if he was afraid, or as if he was planning something.
"Tell me, who sent you here?" Gu Junze asked coldly.
"Is it Chu Ang..."
Hearing Gu Junze's cold question, he subconsciously raised his head. When did the Ninth Prince change his name?
Then it dawned on him, if he hadn't kept his identity secret, how could they have searched for so long?
There was a flash of determination and madness in his eyes.
"Hmph, don't even think about getting a single word out of me!"
Gu Junze frowned. He noticed something strange about the person in front of him and had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"You'd better tell the truth, otherwise..." Before he could finish his words, the stalker suddenly twisted his body violently, trying to break free from the shadow guard's restraints.
The shadow guards reacted quickly, increasing the strength in their hands and pinning him down tightly.
However, the stalker seemed ready to die. He took advantage of everyone's inattention and suddenly gritted his teeth. Gu Junze was shocked and shouted, "Oh no, he has poison in his mouth!"
But it was too late.
Black blood instantly flowed from the corner of the stalker's mouth, his eyes gradually became unfocused, and his body began to twitch.
The shadow guards released their grip, laid him flat on the ground, and reached out to check his breathing.
Then he knelt on one knee and said, "Sir, it was my fault for not discovering the poison in his mouth in advance."
Gu Junze waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault. They were well prepared and we couldn't defend ourselves. This group of people is so cunning that they would rather commit suicide than reveal any clues." He said gritting his teeth.
A shadow guard used a sword to pry open the chest of the corpse, and under the clothes, there was a strange totem tattooed.
The lines of the pattern are complex and twisted, with snakes intertwined and coiled together.
"My Lord, this totem is the unique symbol of the Zheng Kingdom's royal secret guards. These people are all carefully trained death warriors."
Zheng and Jin were hostile countries and had only signed a ceasefire agreement for a dozen years.
Even if Chu Ang is doing business abroad, he can be in contact with people from all over the world, but how can the royal secret guards be controlled by him?
Is he colluding with the enemy?
But the Chu family has already been imprisoned, why take the risk...
