Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Three arrows were shot.
Then the three guards who were wielding knives to slash at the villagers were all struck by arrows and fell down!
Tong Mingshan was furious. Where did this blind fool come from again?
He turned to look in the direction from which the arrows had come, assuming they were just a few of Zhao Ruojin's fearless guards.
But when he turned his head, he froze, forgetting to breathe for a moment, and then his teeth started chattering.
A man led the way, clad in black armor that gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen in the moonlight.
The man's deep eyes reflected the firelight, as if anger was burning within them. Two guards followed behind him.
The three arrows were fired by the three of them simultaneously.
Tong Mingshan had never seen this man before, and it wasn't these three people who made his teeth chatter.
Instead, he saw a well-organized cavalry following not far behind the three of them.
The cavalrymen carried torches, and a banner with the large character "Xiao" written on it was clearly visible in the firelight.
Tong Mingshan had never met Xiao Yanchu, but no official in the Great Chu was unfamiliar with the banners of the Xiao family army.
The Xiao family army appeared, led by this man...
Su Ruojin and the others were still in the courtyard and could not see what was happening outside.
But when she saw the guards who were about to kill the villagers being shot dead, she breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned and shouted at Liu Jing, "Liu Jing, charge out! Protect the villagers!"
"yes!"
Whether it was Liu Jing, Su Wenzhou, or anyone else, they were all covered in blood from the fighting. Some of the men Liu Jing brought were injured, and Yan Luo helped them to the side and treated them.
Jin Chuan was just a civil official whose life had been relatively smooth. He had never seen such a scene before, and his face turned pale.
However, seeing that Zhao Ruojin and her two young girls not only helped fight the enemy but also treated the wounded without any panic on their faces, he gradually calmed down as well.
He's so old, he can't possibly be worse off than two young girls.
At this moment, all of Jin Chuan's fear vanished, and all he wanted to do was fight the enemy together with everyone.
He also began to help Yanluo rescue the wounded. He didn't know anything about medicine, but he could help the wounded and bandage their wounds.
Seeing Jin Chuan like this, Yan Luo handed him a small half-bottle of medicine. "Lord Jin, this is poison. Keep it safe. If anyone gets close to you, just sprinkle it on them."
Jin Chuan was taken aback for a moment, then carefully took it and put it away. "Thank you."
On the other side, Su Wenzhou led his men to continue fighting against the people in the courtyard, while Su Ruojin and Liu Jing charged out with their swords.
"Liu Jing, put on your mask."
Liu Jing immediately understood what the eldest princess was about to do, and without saying a word, he pulled up his mask.
Su Ruojin first took a pill, then took out a bottle and prepared to rush towards Tong Mingshan and his guards.
As long as she can get into the group of guards, she won't have to worry about accidentally poisoning others.
Not far away, Xiao Yanchu saw Su Ruojin rush out of the courtyard and head towards Tong Mingshan, and immediately understood what she was going to do.
Damn it!
This woman doesn't know how to protect herself.
He knew Su Ruojin could use poison, but with so many people around, even if the poison took effect, who could guarantee she wouldn't get hurt if she rushed into the crowd?
"Giddy up!" Xiao Yanchu spurred the horse forward.
Then he leaped up, kicked off the horse's back, and used the momentum to rush towards the woman he had been longing for for many days.
Su Ruojin only felt a blur before her eyes, and a figure appeared in front of her, grabbed her, and darted to the side.
