Gu Linchao understood, put one arm around her, and said gently, "Nongnong, tell me which direction the assassin is in?"
Before he could finish speaking, Wen Nongnong immediately said, "Your Highness, to the left front."
"puff!"
Before the two assassins could react, their chests were pierced by sharp swords.
"Right side, right side!"
"Pfft, pfft!"
Two more assassins fell to the ground.
Wen Nongnong was overjoyed. Why hadn't she thought of that before?
Although Gu Linchao is blind, his martial arts skills are still there. As long as she reminds him, these assassins are no match for him.
Just as she was basking in the satisfaction of her idea, she suddenly heard Green Fairy scream, "Miss, be careful!"
Wen Nongnong's hair stood on end, but before she could turn around to look, Gu Linchao had already slit the throat of the assassin who was sneaking up from behind with a backhand sword.
Wen Nongnong broke out in a cold sweat. If Gu Linchao hadn't noticed, she would definitely be the one lying on the ground right now.
"Your Highness is amazing!" she exclaimed.
Gu Linchao put his arm around her shoulder. "Don't get distracted!"
Wen Nongnong quickly composed herself and continued to remind him, "Straight ahead."
Before long, the number of assassins had been reduced by half.
Seeing their fallen comrade, the assassins became fearful and dared not approach again.
However, Gu Linchao had already grasped their direction. He suddenly released Wen Nongnong and leaped into the air.
Before the assassins could react, a flash of white sword light appeared, and the next moment, without exception, a bloody gash appeared on their necks.
Their eyes widened in horror, and then blood gushed out as they collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Wen Nongnong quickly stepped forward and helped Gu Linchao, who staggered as he landed.
"Are Lvqiao and Baili alright?" Gu Linchao asked.
Just as Wen Nongnong was about to reply, Bai Li, carrying a blood-dripping sword, and Lü Qiao walked over. "Your Highness, we are alright."
"It's good that you're alright. We need to leave here as soon as possible," Gu Linchao instructed.
Wen Nongnong glanced at the oxcart beside her and said to Lü Qiao, "There are horse-drawn carriages in the inn. Let's buy one from them." The assassins had actually found their way here; they really needed to leave as soon as possible.
"Yes, Miss." Green Fairy hurriedly ran back to the inn.
The innkeeper and waiter had both witnessed Gu Linchao's ruthless and decisive killing. When they heard that they needed a carriage, they were so frightened that they immediately gave them one without saying a word.
The four of them didn't linger and left the town after getting into the carriage.
The fact that the assassin was able to find this place shows that the person behind it is determined to kill Gu Linchao and has already laid a trap.
Moreover, Wang Houde's group should have already been discovered; they are no longer in the group, so we don't know what their situation is.
Bai Li left marks along the way, but it's unknown whether Wang Houde and the others will catch up and join them.
Wen Nongnong felt a strong sense of unease.
I have a feeling that something is going to happen.
Not long after leaving the town, her unease was confirmed.
Bai Li reined in her horse, looked at the dozen or so men in black blocking their path, and pursed her lips.
She picked up the sword from the carriage shaft, turned to Green Fairy and said in a very fast voice, "I'll hold them off for a bit. You drive the carriage and hurry up."
“But…” Green Fairy looked at the horse in front of her and swallowed hard. She didn’t know how to drive a carriage.
"No buts." Bai Li drew her sword, suddenly leaped up, and landed in front of the carriage, blocking the assassin who was about to rush over.
Green Beauty gritted her teeth, pulled on the reins, and galloped off to the side.
Seeing this, Bai Li felt slightly relieved and charged towards the assassin with her sword.
However, what she didn't notice was that a dark figure silently caught up with the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage, Wen Nong Nong pulled back the curtain and saw that Lü Qiao was struggling to drive the carriage. She said to Gu Linchao, "Your Highness, please sit here. I will go and help Lü Qiao drive." Before Gu Linchao could speak, she had already lifted the curtain and stepped out.
Just as Gu Linchao was about to get up and leave, a barely audible sound landed on the roof of the car.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of a sharp blade slicing through the roof of the car rang out. Gu Linchao's brows furrowed, and he swung his sword with lightning speed, barely blocking the blade that was about to pierce through the car.
"bite!"
The blades clashed, producing a piercing sound.
The next moment, the entire roof of the car flew off.
Upon hearing the noise, Wen Nongnong's expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to rush back into the carriage, Gu Linchao had already come out, grabbed her with one arm and carried Lü Qiao with the other, and they flew away from the carriage, landing on the ground.
Even without a driver, the carriage continued to speed forward.
But now, Wen Nongnong could no longer care about the carriage, because the man in black who had just assassinated Gu Linchao on the roof of the carriage was now standing opposite them.
Wen Nongnong had a feeling that the man in black in front of her was different from the assassins she had encountered before, and seemed to be more powerful.
The man in black's gaze lingered on her for a moment before settling on Gu Linchao.
The man in black was taken aback when he saw the man's unfocused eyes.
Gu Linchao is blind?
“Your Highness, it’s in the position to your left front,” Wen Nongnong suddenly said.
Before the man in black could react to her meaning, a sharp sword aura swept towards him, carrying an imposing force.
He was startled and leaped to his feet.
Even so, a section of his robe was still cut off.
"Bang!"
The trees behind them fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing the tree snapped in half and the half-fallen hem of clothing, the man in black felt a chill run down his spine, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
So, was Wen Nongnong's last sentence a reminder to Gu Linchao about his location?
It seems that Gu Linchao has really gone blind!
This realization gave him a better chance of successfully abducting Wen Nong Nong.
Wen Nongnong was surprised that this person could dodge Gu Linchao's killing move, but she did not hesitate and immediately said, "Your Highness, to the right front."
As soon as she finished speaking, the other party suddenly leaped into the air and slashed at Gu Linchao with his sword.
Before Wen Nong Nong could remind him, Gu Linchao had already noticed.
He immediately pushed Wen Nong Nong away and swung a palm in the direction from which the sword energy swept.
Seeing this, the man in black smirked beneath his mask. Dealing with the blind Gu Linchao was far too easy.
He had only made a feint, and once Gu Linchao fell for it, he immediately withdrew his sword and charged towards Wen Nongnong.
Wen Nongnong had always believed that the man in black was targeting Gu Linchao, so she was completely focused on him. Therefore, when the man in black suddenly rushed towards her, she was caught off guard.
"Regent, if you want her to be safe, bring the military tally in exchange." The man in black quickly pressed Wen Nongnong's pressure points, lifted her up, and flew away.
"Nong Nong!" Gu Linchao exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly drew his sword to chase after her.
But he couldn't see it, and after flying a short distance, he crashed into a tree and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"Your Highness!" Green Fairy exclaimed in alarm and rushed over immediately.
