Arrow Soul's words were so powerful and resolute, his righteous aura was awe-inspiring, and anyone who didn't know better would have thought Li Zhu was a villain who deserved to die...
"Are you out of your mind?"
Li Zhu thought this guy must be mentally ill. He'd clearly been brainwashed and thought he was the main villain…
"Forget all this 'wata' nonsense, you must die today..."
Whoosh!
As the third arrow from the Arrow Soul was fired, Li Zhu took a step forward, trying to dodge it...
But immediately a second whooshing sound was heard.
Whoosh!
The arrow spirit fired another arrow in the direction Li Zhu was dodging, which made Li Zhu curse inwardly. This was truly leaving him no way out. It was now impossible for him to change his direction of evasion. His body had already lost its balance, the old power had not yet dissipated, and he couldn't use the new power at all...
Whoosh!
Just then, the Arrow Spirit fired its third arrow, aiming straight for his throat, firmly locking onto his last chance of survival...
He's only managed to dodge the first arrow; he can't possibly dodge the second and third...
Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Arrow Soul had already calculated the direction he would dodge. The first arrow was merely to lure him into the trap; the second and third arrows that followed were the killing blows, aimed at achieving victory in one fell swoop…
At this moment, Li Zhu felt despair. He realized he had been careless. Even though he had transmigrated and possessed knowledge beyond this era, he was not omnipotent, nor was he immortal…
You should always prepare for the worst in everything you do, but it's too late to say anything now; all you can do is close your eyes and wait to die…
Bang! Bang!
With two clashing sounds, Li Zhu subconsciously opened his eyes and found that the two arrows that were supposed to kill him had already landed on the ground. The first arrow had also flown past him without causing him any harm...
Looking at the broken arrow fletching and the rolling stones, Li Zhu couldn't help but marvel at the skill of the person who made the move. To break the arrow fletching so accurately required immense strength and eyesight far beyond that of ordinary people. In addition, these two arrows were shot by the spirit of the arrow. Even if an ordinary person could throw a stone accurately, they would not be able to change the direction of the arrow fletching, and it would be shattered by the force of the stone before it even got close to the arrow fletching.
However, the stone that landed was completely undamaged, and the force was controlled to the absolute minimum. It shattered the arrow's fletching while simultaneously exhausting its power, causing the stone to fall vertically to the ground without wasting a single drop...
The person who saved me is definitely a master among masters!
A handsome figure flashed through Li Zhu's mind. Could it be his adopted younger brother who saved him? Given his strength, rescuing him without anyone noticing wouldn't be difficult for him…
With the enemy still present, Li Zhu didn't have time to think too much. He looked up at the arrow spirit on the roof, who was also surprised that his ultimate triple kill technique had been broken...
At this moment, he actually raised his powerful bow once more, intending to shoot Li Zhu again, but then a familiar figure appeared beside the Arrow Soul…
With a swift movement, he slapped the Arrow Soul off the roof, and then the figure vanished...
Is that Eunuch Tang?
Li Zhu was somewhat uncertain, after all, it was too far away and the sky was so dark that he couldn't see very clearly, but the figure that appeared did look a lot like Eunuch Tang!
If the other party really is Eunuch Tang, wouldn't that mean that this old eunuch is actually a master?
The waters in this palace are truly deep. If a mere deputy commander of the Arrow Soul is this powerful, what about the other three deputy commanders and the commander-in-chief?
Li Zhu withdrew his gaze, burying his questions in his heart, and continued walking towards his mother's palace...
For some reason, he always felt that more than one pair of eyes were watching him. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that more than one person appeared to save him when he was about to be killed?
That's real skill!
Ultimately, it comes down to strength. If one is strong enough, who would dare to attack him?
When Li Zhu arrived at his mother's palace, he discovered that although the environment had changed, the location hadn't changed much. They had simply found a new courtyard for his mother to live in. This made Li Zhu furiously complain about his cheap father, the emperor, who not only stole women but also treated them so badly…
Little did he know that this was his own mother's request. After all, she had some secrets she couldn't tell anyone, and leaving would cause her a lot of trouble. To satisfy her son's filial piety, she moved to the courtyard next door...
"Mother!"
Li Zhu knocked on the door and called out to someone inside…
Soon, hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the courtyard, accompanied by a mother's calls.
"Hurry...hurry...my Xiao Zhu is back, quickly prepare some food..."
Li Zhu, standing outside the door, couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself that his mother was much better than that cheap father. She was one of the few people who could make him feel warm since he transmigrated here!
"Xiao Zhu, you're here..."
The moment the gate opened, Li Zhu saw his mother's smiling face, and she immediately grabbed Li Zhu's hand and led him into the yard!
"Xiao Zhu, you're so filial. If it weren't for you, I'd still be living in that dilapidated courtyard..."
Nangong Qing was overjoyed, even more so by her child's filial piety!
"This is what the mother deserves; the son was merely going along with it..."
Li Zhu didn't take on too much responsibility, after all, it was to break the deadlock at the time, and his mother's words made him feel a little embarrassed!
Just as Li Zhu was about to step into the hall, he saw a row of food boxes in the room next door, which puzzled him. Why did his mother have so many food boxes?
"Mother, why are you making so many food boxes? Did Father bully you again and make you deliver food to someone?"
Li Zhu said somewhat angrily!
"Xiao Zhu, don't say that about your father. It's not easy for him either. He has to govern such a large country, and there are bound to be areas he can't take care of..."
Nangong Qing didn't want Li Zhu to have any resentment towards his adoptive father, so her words were meant to ease the tension between the two!
"Hmph! It's all because those concubines were jealous of the Emperor's favor and poisoned her..."
One of the palace maids said, somewhat indignantly!
"What? Someone is so bold? Does Father know about this?"
Li Zhu was furious. This was one of the few people in the world who cared about him. How dare someone poison his mother? Wasn't this courting death?
"Xiao Su, don't talk nonsense..."
Nangong Qing glared at Xiao Su and scolded her! Xiao Su replied, feeling wronged.
"I wasn't lying. Every single piece of food in these containers is poisoned; several rats have already died from it..."
Xiao Su muttered to herself, and Li Zhu heard her words. He quickly pushed open the door and found that there were indeed several dead rats lying next to the food box, and the food inside the box had been eaten by rats!
