Chapter 270: Fast, Ruthless, and Accurate (Update 1)
Jiang Zhiluo took advantage of the moment when the second man paused and pierced his forehead with the silver needle in her hand, taking his life.
Among these four people, the most powerful one should be the killer who is called the boss.
The silver needles she shot were all quickly blocked by him.
The reaction is quick and the internal strength is not weak.
The person who sent such a master to kill Cui Hejin was really cautious.
Even though Cui Hejin had lost all his internal strength and his meridians were severed, they did not dare to take it lightly.
Jiang Zhiluo's expression became increasingly cold and sharp, with a layer of frost in her eyes, full of murderous intent.
Since these people want to harm Cui Hejin, she will definitely not show mercy.
"You're looking for death!"
The man called the boss attacked Jiang Zhiluo at an extremely fast speed with a sword in his hand.
Jiang Zhiluo did not dodge this time, but fought the killer head-on.
She used a short knife and attacked at close range, and each move was extremely deadly.
Jiang Zhiluo had fought with the killer for a few times and had figured out his routine.
Now that she has figured out the tactics of these killers, she can easily deal with the next killer sent by the eldest prince.
Although this killer known as the boss is very strong, he also has great internal strength.
But Jiang Zhiluo's movements were faster, more ruthless and more accurate.
Moreover, she mobilized the wood-type supernatural power in her body, making her movements more agile, and she could even judge the direction of his attacks.
Her wood-related abilities now are no longer comparable to what they used to be.
Jiang Zhiluo took advantage of the killer's weakness and stabbed him with a knife.
"It doesn't matter who dies. This time it's you, next time it'll be your master, the Crown Prince, isn't it?"
After saying this, Jiang Zhiluo no longer wanted to fight, but stabbed him with a knife.
“You…you…”
The killer looked at the dagger that pierced his body and looked at Jiang Zhiluo in disbelief.
The pain calmed him down.
Only now did he figure out one thing: who was this woman?
Their whereabouts were so secretive, how did he know they were in this place?
And how could she know that the master behind them was the eldest prince?
His eyes were wide open, with a look of shock and fear in them.
He knows best how strong he is.
It is precisely because of this that the master trusts and values him so much and lets him do this task.
Because once Cui Hejin died, his master would most likely gain the support of the Hongnong Yang family.
But he didn't expect that they would be killed before they could make a move.
The killer staggered back a few steps and suddenly knelt on the ground.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at his bleeding wound and said, "Don't worry, you won't die yet. This dagger didn't pierce your heart, it was just a little bit off. Don't even think about committing suicide, because the dagger is smeared with medicine, soft muscle powder, you should be familiar with it."
"And it's my homemade muscle softening powder. It's so effective that you can't even use your internal energy."
The killer moved, and indeed found that he could not move at all.
He asked, "Why don't you kill me?"
Jiang Zhiluo folded her arms and said coldly, "Because you still have some value."
"Tell me, the eldest prince sent people to rob the people of their food. Where are those people?"
The killer's pupils trembled, as if he couldn't believe that the person in front of him actually knew such news.
Or maybe someone among them betrayed them and leaked the news.
The killer looked at the woman in black in front of him with fear and trepidation, "Who are you?"
Yes, Jiang Zhiluo was fully armed, wearing black clothes and a mask, so the killer couldn't see her appearance clearly.
I don't even know who she is.
The killer couldn't think of her as Cui Hejin's wife either.
Because they had investigated before coming, Cui Hejin married a country girl and was selling things on the street, which was nothing special, so they didn't care.
I would never have thought that a country girl would have such skills.
They just thought that someone was protecting Cui Hejin.
Or someone was watching them.
The power of the second prince?
Or did the Hongnong Yang family send someone to protect Cui Hejin?
He had no way of knowing.
Jiang Zhiluo said coldly: "You are not qualified to know who I am."
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I have a way to make you speak."
Jiang Zhiluo bought some herbs at the clinic and prepared a pill that could induce hallucinations and make people tell the truth.
Medicinal materials are precious, so don’t use them if you can.
This was made with medicinal herbs that she spent a lot of money to buy.
The killer said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
They will not betray their master, simply because no one can afford the consequences of betraying their master.
They all have weaknesses in the hands of their masters.
The eldest prince is as suspicious as the emperor. Even when he is training assassins, he only looks for people who have relatives and friends to care about.
The lives of their loved ones are in the hands of the eldest prince.
If they betray him, the Crown Prince will not just kill them.
They knew best how ruthless the eldest prince's methods were.
"It seems you are very stubborn."
The killer wanted to bite his tongue but he didn't have the strength to do so.
Jiang Zhiluo could only flick the pill into his mouth, where it melted immediately.
"You, cough cough..."
"It's useless. This medicine melts in your mouth. Just a little bit of it will work."
The killer was frightened, but after a moment, his eyes became unfocused.
Jiang Zhiluo asked, "The eldest prince sent people to rob the people's crops. How many people did he send?"
The killer mechanically replied, "More than a hundred people."
"How skilled are these people? Who are they? Where are they disguised as..."
"They are the elite soldiers under the eldest prince. They disguised themselves as bandits and hid in the former Black Stone Village. They waited for the farmers to harvest the grain, and then went to steal it back in the middle of the night..."
"It was done quietly, and no one knew it was related to the eldest prince."
Jiang Zhiluo listened to this, a sarcastic smile on her lips, and said, "What if there are those who are dissatisfied and resist?"
"The eldest prince said to kill without mercy!"
Jiang Zhiluo's eyes flashed coldly, "How cruel! Aren't you afraid that someone will find out that it's related to the eldest prince?"
The killer mechanically replied, "No one dares to leak the news. If anyone suspects anything, the eldest prince said they can pin the blame on Prince Duan in Qingzhou."
Jiang Zhiluo snorted coldly. This eldest prince was really cruel.
"You know what Princess Chamin means, right?"
The assassin said, "Princess Cha Min wants us to kill Cui Qingci."
"Cui Qingci has nothing to do with the Pei family anymore, but Princess Cha Min still won't let her go?"
"This woman is truly ruthless. She and the eldest prince are no different. Birds of a feather!"
If these two people were in Beizhou, Jiang Zhiluo would definitely kill them.
She thought she would be much calmer, but just listening to this, a wave of anger welled up in her heart.
The killer said, "I don't know. We just follow orders!"
As if she had thought of something, Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Is the story between Princess Cha Min and Pei Nanchen true?"
The killer seemed confused and didn't know what to say.
Jiang Zhiluo asked, "Is Pei Nanchen planning to become Princess Cha Min's consort?"
