Chapter 233: Assassination at Midnight

"Be careful!" Chang Teng screamed and stopped the horse immediately. The horse stood up and neighed.

Mo Yunzhu was already alert. She grabbed the door of the carriage with both hands. Before the carriage overturned, she jumped out, rolled over on the ground, and stood up.

"Miss." Yuan Qing also fell out and got up, and immediately came in front of Mo Yunzhu.

Chang Teng had already grabbed the horse, turned over, drew the long sword from his waist, and stood in front of Mo Yunzhu to defend.

A dozen men in black appeared before my eyes, all in black from head to toe.

Mo Yunzhu and the other two counted and found that there were fifteen people surrounding them, each holding a shining sword in their hands.

"Who are you? Do you know the consequences of assassinating the general's daughter?" Chang Teng shouted, his palms covered in sweat.

I never thought that after such a long period of peace, someone would come to assassinate me.

"Kill!" The man in black didn't want to say anything. He just said one word and launched the attack.

"Don't worry about me! Take care of yourselves!" Mo Yunzhu said to Yuan Qing, and then a dagger appeared in her hand and four silver needles in the other.

The battle started instantly, and Mo Yunzhu was surrounded by four people at once. She sneered, it had been a long time since she encountered such a thing.

The militant factor in her body was also excited.

She was not good at long-range combat but good at close combat, so she rushed directly towards one person.

The man immediately rushed forward, and the other three also stabbed with their swords at the same time.

Mo Yunzhu took advantage of her soft body and strange angles, and in one round, three people fell down, one of whom had his throat cut directly.

The other two were stabbed by silver needles. After a moment's pause, Mo Yunzhu stepped on the neck of one of them, breaking the bone with a crackling sound.

The last man's eyes popped out in fear, and he immediately swung his knife at him. Mo Yunzhu rolled over on her feet, and the dagger stabbed into the man's lower body. Instantly, a miserable scream resounded through the sky.

Mo Yunzhu didn't even look at him, she turned over again and stabbed the guy who was about to get up.

It happened slowly but suddenly. Almost as soon as the game started, Mo Yunzhu had already dealt with four people.

Then he immediately rushed into Yuan Qing's battle circle. Although Yuan Qing had been training, it was not for long after all. On weekdays, it was no problem for him to deal with some guards, but tonight these people were all very strong and their moves were very tricky.

Yuan Qing's left hand had been chopped off and was covered in blood, but he did not dare to retreat and held on with gritted teeth.

As soon as Mo Yunzhu arrived, he dealt with the one in front of him. Yuan Qing stepped back, swung his sword, and repelled the guy who was attacking from behind.

Mo Yunzhu's eyes were as sharp as swords, and a cold murderous aura emanated from her body. She shuttled between the men in black, reaping lives.

Although her shoulder was soon bruised, she took out a handful of medicine powder and blinded the eyes of the men in black. The pressure on Chang Teng and Yuan Qing was immediately reduced. They raised their swords and slashed, leaving blood all over the ground. The men in black fell down one by one.

Torches were lit up ahead, and footsteps were heard coming quickly. When the patrol officers from the yamen saw the Shura field before them, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

"Miss Mo!" A yamen runner jumped up immediately when he saw Mo Yunzhu sitting on the ground covered in blood.

"See if there are any survivors?" Mo Yunzhu looked at him and said coldly.

There were fifteen men in black, only twelve were left. Three had escaped, eight were dead, and four were seriously injured.

"Miss Mo, what happened?"

Mo Yunzhu had already crawled to the nearest corpse of the man in black and looked directly at him, but found no clues. It was obvious that the person who wanted to kill her was very cautious.

Mo Yunzhu gave a brief explanation, and then the bailiffs sent them to Renshan Medical Clinic because Yuan Qing and Chang Teng were both injured.

Half an hour later, Lan Yan and Ji Xingyun arrived.

"Master, are you okay?" Lan Yan was shocked to see Mo Yunzhu was injured.

"Fortunately, I'm lucky." Mo Yunzhu couldn't treat the wound on her shoulder by herself, so she asked the bailiff to call Lan Yan. Of course, she had stopped the bleeding herself.

"Prince Lan is here." Someone suddenly said outside. Mo Yunzhu looked up and saw Jun Huolan coming in quickly, his handsome face looking extremely panicked.

"Zhu'er!" Jun Huolan was so scared when he saw the blood on Mo Yunzhu's body that he immediately ran to her bedside.

"Your Highness, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. Ask Lan Yan to help me clean it up. It's on my shoulder and I can't handle it myself." Mo Yunzhu smiled.

Jun Huolan's forehead was covered with sweat. He looked at her wound and asked in disbelief, "Are you really okay?"

"Why would I lie to you? I don't look bad, do I?" Mo Yunzhu was indeed in good spirits.

"You look very pale." Jun Huolan held her hand, "It's all my fault. I should have sent you back."

Jun Huolan felt extremely guilty. In fact, after the previous assassination, Mo Yunzhu had many more people protecting her, but because the enemies such as the Zhao family, the Xiu family, and the eldest princess were all dealt with, she didn't want so many people to follow her.

She never thought that she would encounter such a thing again, but she didn't think it was a big deal. After all, a centipede is still alive even after it is dead, and there are always some people who dislike her secretly.

"My Lord, I'm really fine. Since you're here, go check on the four seriously injured ones. I want to know who wants to kill me." Mo Yunzhu said immediately, "It's a good thing for me to be out in the open now, instead of having to be on guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Jun Huolan nodded immediately, gave Lan Yan some instructions, and then walked out with a murderous look on his face.

"How are Yuan Qing and Chang Teng?" Mo Yunzhu asked.

"There is no danger to his life, but the injury is serious and he has lost too much blood. But we have good medicine and we can replenish it later." Lan Yan said as he helped Mo Yunzhu treat the wound.

Seeing that the wound was not very deep, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, your martial arts skills are very high. You only suffered a minor injury among so many people."

"From the tone of your voice, do you want me to get seriously injured?" Mo Yunzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey, Master, no one knew you were so powerful before this." Lan Yan said, "Didn't three of them escape? Then your high martial arts skills would be exposed."

"I am the daughter of a great general, so it's normal for me to know martial arts." Mo Yunzhu had actually thought about this problem. In fact, silencing them would be the best option, but these men in black were really powerful, and three of them escaped.

“Although you say that, it can only fool those who are not aware of the situation. The men in black definitely know that you are very skilled in martial arts,” Lan Yan said.

Mo Yunzhu's eyes were dark as she said, "So what if you know? You don't allow me to practice martial arts secretly? My father often teaches me martial arts. Besides, I have no internal strength. To some masters, I am just a show-off."

Lan Yan thought about it and said, "Master, who do you think wants to assassinate you?"

"I also want to know. Although these men in black are not assassins, they are stronger than ordinary guards. Their moves are all killing moves. I think they are more like assassins. Is there any assassin organization in our capital?"
