Zhao Qingzhu was very puzzled by this sudden tense situation.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she saw the middle-aged man reveal a cold smile, pull out a dagger from behind his back, and say to Zhu Yunwen in a low voice:
"The Third Prince is indeed quite different from before. I thought I had disguised myself well, but I didn't expect him to recognize me at a glance. It has taught me a lesson. However, despite this, you are doomed to die today!"
Zhu Yunwen snorted and said:
"Since you believe I am doomed, then tell me who sent you, so I can die knowing the truth."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said:
"It's not convenient to disclose that here. In short, Your Highness, just entrust your life to me today."
As he spoke, he gripped the dagger tightly in his hand. The next moment, he stomped his foot and shot into the air, crashing down hard towards Zhu Yunwen.
Yes, it's like it's been smashed down on us.
Although this guy is somewhat muscular, his reaction speed is extremely fast.
His expression suggested that he was not going to give Zhu Yunwen any chance to react.
Zhu Yunwen frowned; he couldn't avoid it.
Despite having served in the military before transmigrating, he possesses a considerable reaction speed.
However, he was still no match for those who truly knew martial arts in ancient times.
At the same time, he was not worried because he had ten powerful Imperial Guards behind him.
He just needs to wait for them to make their move.
However, what happened next was still beyond Zhu Yunwen's expectations.
Just as the Imperial Guards behind him were about to draw their swords, Zhao Qingzhu, who was next to Zhu Yunwen, suddenly pushed off the stirrups and leaped up very lightly.
In just a moment, she stood in front of Zhu Yunwen, and then her slender hand suddenly reached out and skillfully and nimbly grabbed the handle of the dagger that the burly man was thrusting at her.
Then, with a gentle twist, she snatched the dagger away.
Then, with a nimble flick of the wrist, the dagger left a bloody gash on the burly man's chest.
With another kick, he easily sent the burly man flying.
The huge, burly man crashed to the ground, clutching his chest wound and wincing in pain.
At the same time, he looked at Zhao Qingzhu with disbelief.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhao Qingzhu in shock. After Zhao Qingzhu made a light turn in the air, she landed steadily on the horse's back again. At the same time, she threw the dagger in her hand and it stuck hard into a tree not far away.
Zhu Yunwen opened his eyes wide in disbelief and said:
"You actually know martial arts?"
Zhao Qingzhu chuckled and said:
"My father is a military commander, so what if I know a little martial arts?"
At this moment, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard behind Zhu Yunwen spoke up:
"Young lady, you're not just someone who knows a little martial arts, are you? The agility you just displayed..."
Your incredibly skillful use of force and perfect technique demonstrate that you are a true master.
"I'm afraid even ten of us Imperial Guards commanders would find it extremely difficult to win a single move against you."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhao Qingzhu again and said:
"What do you have to say now?"
Zhao Qingzhu pursed her lips before slowly saying:
"I have indeed practiced martial arts since I was a child, and to be honest, I can barely be considered a first-class master."
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly:
"I never expected this, I never expected that my fiancée would actually be a hidden tigress. If I really made you my wife, wouldn't I be in danger?"
Zhao Qingzhu snorted and said:
"You're not a bad person, I can't just hit you for no reason."
Zhu Yunwen thought for a moment and said, "That's true."
Then he looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground clutching his chest and said:
"You were sent by Zhu Yunwen to kill me, weren't you?"
Both the burly man and Zhao Qingzhu were taken aback by these words.
Judging from his expression, the burly man was indeed sent by Zhu Yunwen, but he did not expect that Zhu Yunwen's words would hit the nail on the head.
Zhao Qingzhu then asked Zhu Yunwen with a puzzled expression:
"The Second Prince sent someone to kill you? That's impossible. Isn't he your elder brother? Why would he want to kill you?"
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhao Qingzhu as if she were a fool and said:
"You're all brawn and no brains. You're strong, no doubt about it, but your brain isn't very sharp. Don't you even think about who could be a threat to Zhu Yunwen's ascension to the throne?"
Zhao Qingzhu suddenly understood and said:
"You are now certainly a threat to him."
Zhu Yunwen looked at the middle-aged man and said:
"Go back and tell your master not to court death, or I'll make him suffer the most along the way."
Knowing that his life had been spared, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, and left with great difficulty.
Zhao Qingzhu looked at Zhu Yuntong and said:
"You're not planning to kill him?"
Zhu Yunwen asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
Zhao Qingzhu said, "Zhu Yunwen actually sent someone to kill you. Didn't you try to kill him along the way?"
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said:
"You don't believe me when I say you're simple-minded. How can you be as naive as Zhu Yunwen? Let me ask you, if I had really been killed by Zhu Yunwen along the way, would Grandfather have failed to find any clues?"
Zhao Qingzhu nodded and said:
“That’s true. If you kill him, you will inevitably be investigated by the Emperor, which will only make things more complicated and you might even face severe punishment. After all, His Majesty detests infighting among the royal family.”
Zhu Yunwen nodded: "That's why I can't do something that would harm myself."
