To him, the arrows of these ordinary soldiers were nothing.
The head of Beishan swung his sword and cut Ji Minghao's sword in half.
Ji Minghao dodged backward and was about to draw his sword and attack again.
But the first target of the Beishan leader was not Ji Minghao.
The person that the Beishan leader fears the most is Wu Weian.
As long as Wu Weian dies, it will be easy to take the lives of Ji Minghao and others.
The exhaustion of the Beishan Sect Leader just now was just an illusion. He no longer hid his strength, and rushed over, using all his life's knowledge, and swung a sword at Wu Weian's back!
Wu Weian's mind was in a state of panic, his body stiffened slightly, and he was half a step slow. He failed to dodge completely, and his left shoulder took the blow.
The head of Beishan smiled coldly, stepped forward, and aimed the second sword at Wu Weian's head.
With a "swish" sound, the sword pierced into the flesh.
So slight, yet so clear.
The head of Beishan widened his eyes and looked at Wu Weian who turned around in disbelief.
There was no trace of anxiety on Wu Weian's face anymore.
His facial features, as pale as water, were all icy cold.
The head of Beishan wanted to hide, but it was too late.
He was too close to Wu Weian.
Wu Weian gripped the sword with his five fingers, exerted force on his wrist, and pushed it upwards.
The sword cut through the internal organs of the Beishan Sect Leader and split his head open from the heart.
The Beishan Sect Leader's body was almost cut in half, with only the lower half still attached.
The tattered and horrible corpse fell into the surging flood.
Wu Wei'an didn't even glance at them. He said to Ji Mingshuang and Ji Minghao who rushed over, "I'll go back first. I'll trouble you, second brother, here."
Everything was in Wu Weian's plan. The head of Beishan was only there to hold him back. Their real target was the prince and Ji Yunxi.
Therefore, Wu Weian had arranged the people in advance. His six people plus her own six people, plus Xuezhu Wanxiang, were enough.
The emperor's target is him, the crown prince, Ji Yunxi, Ji Mingyan, Ji Mingshuang, and Ji Minghao.
Wu Weian took the safety of these people into consideration. He protected Ji Mingshuang and Ji Minghao below, while the others protected the crown prince Ji Yunxi and Ji Mingyan.
But Baofu is the only one who is not in the target of the emperor, the Beishan Sword Sect, or Wu Weian.
Logically, Baofu will be fine.
No one would harm her. She had received advice from Wanxiang over the years and knew how to avoid danger in a crowd without any problem.
Baofu can indeed dodge it.
But Baofu, who had dodged, turned back again.
Ordinary people who can't even play chess also have their own righteousness and courage.
Baofu's death was beyond everyone's expectations.

Ji Yunxi asked Wanxiang to put Baofu on the carriage.
Everything in the carriage was arranged by Baofu himself.
Even the soft blanket was laid out by Baofu himself.
Ji Yunxi reached out and covered Baofu with the quilt, pulling it up inch by inch until it covered Baofu's face.
Wanxiang sat on the ground, just looking at Baofu.
Tears fell drop by drop, Wanxiang reached out and wiped them away again and again, but she could never wipe them away.
Learning martial arts is difficult, tiring and painful, but Wanxiang has never cried.
Seeing this, Ji Yunxi rubbed Wanxiang's head.
Wanxiang raised her head and looked at Ji Yunxi. Finally, she couldn't help crying out loud: "Miss Baofu told me a few days ago that she wanted to go to the capital and eat Tanghu's candied haws. Baofu said that the candied haws made by Tanghu's family are the sweetest and most delicious..."
Ji Yunxi gently held Baofu's exposed hand, listened to Wanxiang sobbing and mumbling, and said nothing.
In the end, Wanxiang had cried until her tears ran dry and her voice was hoarse.
Ji Yunxi put Baofu's hand under the quilt and whispered, "Today in the mine, many people will remember her. Not because she is my maid, but because she is her."
"Let's go." Ji Yunxi stood up. "Many people are injured inside and need help."
She lifted the curtain of the car, got out, and returned to the mine.
The stay in the carriage was not long.
But in just a short period of time, the mine seemed to have changed.
The victims were divided into two groups.
One group is on the periphery, and the other group is on the inside.
There is a slight gap between the outer and inner areas.
Someone in the inner circle was clamoring, "I'm definitely not from Qinghe County! I was passing through to visit relatives and stopped here, but unfortunately, I encountered a flood! Why should I stay here?!"
Not long ago, someone suggested that in order to prevent thieves from mixing in with them and harming others, people from Qinghe County should be separated from outsiders.
People from Qinghe County are on the periphery, and people from outside the area are on the inner periphery.
The outer circle will surround the inner circle. If there are more thieves, we will stop as many as we can on the outer circle!
Since we are all in Qinghe County, we can establish some connections with people from all over the place by chatting with each other.
Moreover, Qinghe County has its own unique accent, which can be recognized after just a few words.
But the outsiders refused to accept it.
Who wouldn't be afraid when they thought there was a thief among them and they were so close to the thief?
Sister Qiuyu listened to the crowd arguing, and without saying a word, she dragged her legs to her feet, limped into the inner circle, and sat down.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent.
In the attack just now, more than 20 people were killed and 80 to 90 were injured.
The bodies of more than twenty dead people were placed in a corner and covered with various clothes.
Xuezhu, Du Niangzi, Ji Mingyan, Ji Yunxi and several other maids with red eyes bandaged the wounds of the people who had just been injured in the crowd.
Ji Mingyan used all his patience and caution. Although it was slow, the pain to the wound was greatly reduced.
Wu Weian walked over.
The three of them saw the injury on his left shoulder and stood up subconsciously.
Wu Weian looked at Du Niangzi and Ji Mingyan: "How is it?"
