Chapter 256 Gu Yunrou and her son walk right into a trap?
I regret targeting the youngest, I regret killing a child, I even regret participating in this operation...
Zhou Rongzhang didn't care whether the man in black regretted it or not. He was just unhappy that this man had bullied Ning Bao. In a bad mood and out of boredom, Zhou Rongzhang unleashed a barrage of attacks on the man in black's soul.
After he got tired of playing, Zhou Rongzhang simply crumpled up the black-clad man's soul and tossed it aside, planning to let Ning Bao handle it herself once she was done with her work.
From the moment Ning Bao calmly kicked the man in black away, the other men in black knew that this little kid was no ordinary person.
Some of the clever men in black even stopped approaching Ning Bao and instead rushed directly into the village.
The villagers were numerous, but they had too few capable fighters. The able-bodied men in the village could lend a hand against ordinary bandits, but against ruthless killers, it would be tantamount to throwing their lives away if the ordinary villagers intervened.
More than thirty men in black rushed toward Shen Junshan, who was blocking the villagers, while the Gu family's guards were also entangled by the men in black.
Seeing that things were not going well, Ning Bao kicked away the two men in black she was fighting and tried to help Shen Junshan. Unfortunately, after she kicked away two, four more came. Even though she was strong, she had little combat experience and was at a great disadvantage fighting four people at the same time by relying on brute force.
Zhou Rongzhang, hiding in the shadows, desperately wanted to help, but unfortunately, being a ghost, he was powerless to do so.
Seeing Shen Junshan get slashed in several places by several men in black, not only Ning Bao panicked, but Gu Xiang, Mu Chunping, Lin Jianfei, the children in the family and the able-bodied men in the village all panicked. They picked up their weapons and wanted to rush out and fight the men in black.
Ning Bao caught a glimpse of his father and the village uncles and brothers about to rush out, and shouted loudly.
"Everyone back off! These are assassins, don't go and throw your lives away."
At the same time, Ning Bao saw Zhou Rongzhang in the void, quickly recited a spell, and then said to Zhou Rongzhang,
"Grandpa Zhou, I'm entrusting my uncle to you."
With Ning Bao's incantation, Zhou Rongzhang was able to make physical contact again. He picked up the large knife of the injured man in black from the ground and rushed towards the man in black who was fighting Shen Junshan.
At this moment, apart from Ning Bao, no one else could see Zhou Rongzhang; all they saw was a large sword flying towards the man in black…
Although Zhou Rongzhang's intervention saved Shen Junshan, Ning Bao and his team are still under great pressure.
Gu Yunrou and Shen Muyang, who were with the villagers, coldly watched the agile man in black. Shen Muyang's gaze turned cold as he looked towards the capital.
"Mother, they're coming for us, aren't they?"
Although Shen Muyang looks mature and composed, he is only eight years old and not yet nine.
Gu Yunrou gave her son a firm look.
"Yang'er, you are still young and your mother is here, so you don't need to worry. Remember, if one day your mother is gone, you must live well and live happily. Life is short, don't waste your precious time on hatred."
Shen Muyang reflexively tightened his grip on Gu Yunrou's hand.
"Mother, are you planning to step forward?"
Gu Yunrou nodded, looking at the injured Shen Junshan, Mu Chunping, Lin Jianfei, and others who had rushed out to fight the men in black, as well as the villagers who had been injured in the commotion, and Ning Bao who was still fighting the men in black.
“They’re targeting us. These villagers are innocent. I can’t watch them get hurt or even die in vain.”
Shen Muyang firmly held Gu Yunrou's hand.
“Mother, I’ll go with you. Since he can’t tolerate us, then let him have his way.”
“Yang’er…actually…”
Gu Yunrou looked at her son, hesitant to speak. She wanted to tell Shen Muyang that his father was not actually intolerant of them, and that the person who wanted to take their lives along the way might not be Shen Muyang's father, Marquis Yongyi.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Gu Yunrou, holding Shen Muyang's hand, resolutely walked out of the crowd, ignoring the objections of Granny Gu and her personal maid.
"Stop! You're looking for me, there's no need to harm innocent people!"
The man in black saw the woman who led the way. Although she was dressed in coarse cloth, her beauty and demeanor were different from those of an ordinary peasant woman.
The first man in black took out two portraits from his pocket, carefully comparing Gu Yunrou and Shen Muyang. After a moment, he looked at Gu Yunrou and her son with surprise.
"We'll complete our mission once they take their lives..."
Before the man in black could finish speaking, he was knocked to the ground by a large iron chain thrown by a small figure that jumped out from behind him.
At the same time, Gu Yunrou and her son were pulled back by Shen Yuzhen and Liu Qingru, who had secretly come over.
Shen Yuzhen whispered a reproach to Gu Yunrou,
"Sister Gu, everyone is risking their lives for you right now. If you go out and walk right into a trap, all our efforts will be in vain."
“I…” Gu Yunrou opened her mouth…
On the other side, Ning Bao, perched atop Ling Ling, looked down at the first man in black lying on the ground. Ling Ling, who had just woken from her unconsciousness, stomped on his hand twice.
Hmph! I'll stomp you to death! You dared to bully my master while I was sleeping.
