Soon, many insects crawled out of her sleeves and covered the entire room in dense swarms.
Whether those people come in through the door or the window, they will encounter these poisonous insects.
This is called preemptive strike.
Among them, one insect crawled out through the crack in the door, then crawled up Youyou's foot and into Youyou's palm.
Youyou felt a slight itch in her palm, raised her hand, and saw a familiar dark red worm.
Her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
Shen Ling had already explained this matter to them beforehand.
If danger occurs, Shenling will use this method to warn them. Once this method is used, it means that Shenling is temporarily unable to protect them, and they must adapt to the situation and learn to protect themselves.
As for how to protect oneself, Shen Ling also gave instructions.
First, Youyou remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. She had simply felt a slight itch in her hand and raised it slightly.
As long as the expression doesn't change much, it's just a normal action.
Then, Youyou pretended to be casual, but was also very wary as she observed her surroundings.
She would enter the hidden city at any time if an assassin was discovered.
The reason they didn't enter immediately was because once Youyou disappeared from their sight, they would know that the other party was aware of their existence and would be prepared to act in advance.
Youyou wanted to buy Chenling some time to set up the traps, and at the same time, make them lower their guard.
Sure enough, Youyou observed for a while,
She heard the sound of leaves rustling in the garden not far away, and then a silver light flashed and flew straight toward her face.
Just then, Youyou, sweating profusely from anxiety, entered the Hidden City, having already taken precautions.
The man watched as the person he was about to kill vanished into thin air, and he couldn't help but make a gesture to the people behind him.
This is a gesture indicating that they have been discovered.
Then the assassins nodded to each other, changed their formation, and rushed into the Shenling room from all four directions.
"ah!!!!"
"ah!!!!"
"ah!!!!"
Upon entering Shen Ling's room, those creatures immediately began to scream in agony.
Apart from Shen Ling's master, almost no one can rival Shen Ling's poison skills.
As for raising poisonous insects, Shen Ling could do that without any trouble.
These people had just jumped in through the window and hadn't even had time to see their surroundings when they felt... that they had fallen into an ocean full of insects.
Their bodies are covered in stings, and these stings can instantly numb their nerves, rendering them unable to move.
You know, Gu Mu also fell victim to this kind of insect back then.
Even Gu Mu had to suffer a loss, let alone them?
Only then did Chen Ling light the candle.
There were six people who rushed in: two at the door, one at each of the three windows, and one on the roof.
But at this moment,
They were all immobilized by the dense swarms of poisonous insects.
"My master said that only by using surprise tactics that others cannot anticipate can one truly possess a trump card."
The lit candlelight shone on Shen Ling's face, making her so beautiful that everything else in the world paled in comparison.
"But I still didn't expect that you would send so many people to hunt me down, even though I am just a weak woman."
Shen Ling looked at the person lying on the ground, howling loudly.
But because of the poison, the six assassins, who couldn't even stand up, said: "What? The top martial arts experts you sent out during the day failed to assassinate His Majesty, so you think I'm easy to deal with?"
Shen Ling calmly poured herself a cup of tea, but the words she spoke were piercing to the heart.
Every word they uttered accused them of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
All of this was witnessed by Gu Mu, who happened to arrive at the scene.
Gu Mu did not rush in.
If those assassins had just rushed in and he had seen them from a distance, he would have been somewhat worried at that moment.
The screams that followed in the next second said it all.
So Gu Mu sat leisurely on the roof, watching Shen Ling below, torturing the assassins who had tried to kill her while claiming to be a weak woman.
Sure enough, it's a female-centric novel with a strong female lead.
The female lead is never a burden!
Those assassins clearly didn't expect to be killed in return.
They already knew during the assassination attempt that only one maid named Lu Ming was truly capable in Chenling Courtyard.
However, it is said that recently, the maid named Luming has disappeared, and no one knows where she went.
At that time, they felt that their biggest challenge must be the deer's call.
Although, given the current situation, Lu Ming may no longer be by the Empress's side, they have made thorough preparations, and one of the assassins they sent is enough to fight Lu Ming to a draw.
To their utter surprise, they would fall into the hands of the Empress.
The Empress, however, seemed completely unaffected by them.
Now all they can do is wail and wail.
But the Empress was already dressed appropriately and sitting at the table drinking tea.
Watch their "performance" like watching a play.
...
Gu Mu was relieved.
But suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
Because he sensed that someone else was approaching from not far away.
It seems that these six people are just the vanguard.
They must have been communicating using coded signals. If there was still no news from those few people after a period of time, the second team would come in to continue the assassination.
It's clear they made a very strong decision.
And in the room,
Shen Ling seemed to have heard those sounds as well. Although her expression remained calm, her eyes gradually darkened.
Although it's true that Shenling could hide in a hidden city like Luming...
But... just because she hid doesn't mean these people won't continue their assassination attempts... perhaps the next target will be His Majesty.
Moreover, Hidden City is now also the territory of martial arts practitioners.
Yoyo is just an insignificant character.
Letting her enter the hidden city might not attract any attention, since no one would care about a maid.
But if Youyou hadn't entered the Hidden City, she would have definitely died by that sword.
For His Majesty's sake... she can't just run away like this; she has to face the difficulties head-on... Besides, if she enters the Hidden City, who can guarantee that it's not another form of suicide?
For the first time, a serious expression appeared on Shen Ling's face.
And at this time...
Those people followed the previous group, breaking through the windows and doors.
They all rushed into Shen Ling's room.
Because of the previous group's cries of agony, they didn't go in immediately.
Instead, he observed carefully from the outside, and after getting a clear look at the situation inside,
Only then did he light a torch, shooing away the insects as Chao Chenling approached.
Insects are afraid of fire; it's in their nature.
Soon, the insects that had crawled all over the previous group of people dispersed because they were afraid of the light source.
But they had already been poisoned and remained lying on the ground, unable to move.
