Although she disliked Empress Dowager Guo, she was still somewhat alarmed when she suddenly heard that she had been assassinated.
Despite the heavy guard at Huangming Temple, an assassin still managed to break in. Just how skilled must that assassin be?
"Was it that musician who did it? Did he deliberately create chaos, causing everyone to rush to the main hall to put out the fire, and then take advantage of the weakened defenses to suddenly break into the Empress Dowager's courtyard to assassinate her?" she guessed.
Si Yi gripped his sword tightly and said coldly, "These matters are none of our concern. Isn't there Si Luo? He's in charge of the Empress Dowager's safety on this trip."
For some reason, Wen Nongnong always felt that he was gloating, even though his voice was so cold.
“You’re right. No matter what, it’s none of our business.” Wen Nongnong shrugged and yawned. “Then I’m going to sleep.”
Si Yi ignored her and turned away.
Wen Nongnong didn't care about his attitude and said to Lü Qiao, "You should go to sleep too."
“Yes, Miss.” Green Fairy readily agreed.
However, tonight is destined to be an eventful night.
Just as Wen Nongnong was stepping onto the steps, a dark figure swept over from a distance.
The dark figure flew very high, and when it reached this courtyard, Wen Nongnong could see clearly that it was a person, and it seemed that he was carrying someone in his hand.
She was startled. Before she could react, the dark figure loosened his grip, and the person he was holding plummeted from mid-air.
"Ahhh..."
A scream pierced the night sky.
Wen Nongnong's expression changed drastically. She shouted to Si Yi, "Quick, that's Jiang Hua! Catch her!" As she spoke, she sprinted towards the direction where A Tuo Jiang Hua had fallen, ready to reach out and catch her.
Startled, Si Yi quickly flew forward and, before she could catch the person, reached out and grabbed the falling person in her hand.
However, at that moment, the dark figure appeared behind Wen Nong Nong.
Wen Nong Nong's attention was focused on A Tuo and Jiang Hua. When she realized something was wrong behind her, it was too late. The other person's hand grabbed her shoulder like an iron clamp.
Her face darkened, and she suddenly grabbed the other person's hand, throwing them over her shoulder before they could react.
The other party was completely unprepared for her reaction and strength.
When I fell to the ground, I was still in disbelief.
Wen Nongnong didn't give him a chance to breathe. With a flick of her toe, she grabbed a piece of wood from the ground and swung it at his head.
The man in black was startled and dodged to the side.
He dodged the first blow, but not the second.
"Smack!"
The wooden stick struck him on the head with tremendous force, breaking in two instantly, and bright red blood flowed from the man in black's head.
Wen Nongnong looked at the half-broken stick in her hand and her lips twitched. "It seems I used a little too much force."
However, seeing the other person's bloodied head, she felt a sense of relief and pointed at him with the stick, saying, "You dare to touch your grandma? Don't you know your own strength?"
Before she could finish speaking, a sharp whistle suddenly rang out.
Immediately afterwards, the man in black tilted his head to the side, and a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Damn, it actually bit into poison and committed suicide." She was stunned.
This scene, which she had only ever seen on television, was now unfolding in front of her in real life, leaving her completely bewildered.
Just then, a group of men in black suddenly flew into the courtyard.
Wen Nongnong was startled and shielded Lü Qiao, who had rushed over, behind her. "Lü Qiao, go back inside quickly."
Green Fairy shook her head, "This servant cannot abandon Miss." Before anyone knew it, she was also holding a wooden stick in her hand.
Si Yi, carrying Atuo Jianghua, flew over, threw her aside, and drew his sword to shield Wen Nongnong behind him.
"Lvqiao, bring the princess inside," he ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." Lü Qiao quickly grabbed Wen Nong Nong's hand. "Miss, let's go inside first."
Seeing the aggressive manner of the other party, Wen Nongnong didn't want to be stubborn and cause trouble for Si Yi, so she decisively pulled A Tuo and Jiang Hua, who were still unable to react, and ran into the house.
Si Yi had already engaged in combat with the group of men in black.
The sounds of weapons clashing were incessant.
Wen Nongnong, holding onto A Tuo, Jiang Hua, and Lü Qiao, had just rushed up the steps when she suddenly stopped.
A cold sword pierced through the corridor, its target being Atuo Jianghua to her right.
Startled, she decisively pushed A-Tuo Jianghua away.
However, the other party was just bluffing; their target was her.
She had just pushed A-Tuo Jianghua away when he appeared in front of her and quickly pressed her pressure points.
She was shocked. "Who are you?"
The other person stared at her for a moment, then suddenly put his arm around her waist and tried to take her away.
At that moment, his legs tightened, and when he looked down, he saw that Atuo Jianghua and Lüqiao had rushed over from the left and right, grabbing his legs.
"Let go of Nong Nong!"
"Let go of my young lady!"
His gaze turned cold, and he was about to raise his sword to stab them when he heard Wen Nongnong shout urgently, "Hey, you're not allowed to hurt her in the slightest, or all you'll get is a dead body." As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue and fiercely bit down.
He seemed to smell the blood in the air.
His brows were furrowed tightly beneath the mask.
Wen Nongnong really can't be harmed, otherwise it would be useless for him to kidnap her.
Thinking this, he flicked his sleeve, shaking off the two people who were holding him back.
He grabbed Wen Nong Nong's shoulder and then leaped away.
Si Yi cleaved through the black-clad men who were entangled with her sword and leaped after them.
