During the past half month since he was on the road again, he was assassinated almost every two days, and the people who came were more powerful and more numerous each time.
Jiang Qianruo knew that someone didn't want her or anyone in her group to return to Beijing alive.
After discovering this, Jiang Qianruo's face became colder day by day.
If a tiger doesn't show its power, everyone will treat it as a sick cat.
It’s only been eight years since the prince passed away, and everyone has forgotten what she looked like!
As they got closer to the capital, the assassinations became more frequent, and they could encounter several groups in a day.
It was a dark and windy night, and they were resting tonight in a place less than ten miles away from the outskirts of Beijing.
It was clearly time to go to bed, but at this moment, the group was ready to go. No one looked sleepy, and they all held their weapons tightly in their hands, waiting for the assassination tonight.
None of the men slept, and they sat on the ground around the carriage. They seemed to be chatting freely, but in fact, they were all extremely nervous, with their cores tightened and ready to rebel at any time.
"Here I come."
Ji Changying, who was sitting in the carriage, felt the movement coming from not far away and reminded them softly.
Xing Wu and the others quickly put the detoxification pills in their mouths. Seeing them do this, the others quickly stood up and got into position.
Sure enough, within a few breaths, a group of masked men in black fell from the sky in front.
He wasn't surprised to see them in position, and coldly spat out a word: "Kill!"
The group of people were already accustomed to such scenes, and without any hesitation, they all took up their weapons and started to resist.
But the people who came tonight were a little different. Along with their deadly swords, there were also many archers hiding in the trees.
The sound of arrows piercing the carriage continued, and Mrs. Hu felt uneasy. "Is this really okay?"
Mrs. Zhou was a little worried about the Zhou family's situation and wanted to get out of the car to help, but Ji Changying held her back: "I'll go help my uncle and the others, you take a rest!"
Although Zhou can basically move freely now, Mr. Huang said that it is best not to get angry for six months to a year, otherwise she will develop a chronic illness that will last a lifetime.
Jiang Qianruo knew Ji Changying's skills and didn't stop her. "The carriages we're riding in are made of the hardest black ironwood. They're extremely thick. It's a pipe dream for them to shoot through us sitting here! Ah Ying, go and invite your grandfather and brother in as well. We can still fit in if we squeeze in."
As for the others, Jiang Qianruo chose to ignore them. How can a man be brave without shedding blood?
"I got it!" Ji Changying braved the rain of arrows and quickly rushed out of the carriage, without even a strand of his hair being touched by the arrows.
Mrs. Hu was stunned. She opened her mouth to say something but then closed it again.
Zhou enviously watched her daughter leave: "I don't know when she learned this, this is much more interesting than my fighting..."
"Want to learn? I'll teach you later!" Jiang Qianruo looked at Zhou lovingly.
Zhou scratched her head embarrassedly: "Don't young people learn this stuff faster? I'm already at this age, so forget it!"
Looking at the arrows shot at the Zhou family, Ji Changying shook his wrist, wrapped all the arrows rushing towards them in the iron chain, twisted it around with his clever strength, and swung it hard towards the archers on the tree.
After a few muffled "puff" sounds, no more arrows were shot from those directions.
"How are you guys?"
"We're fine."
Ji Changying felt that her cousin's tone was not right. She turned around and saw Zhou Huaijin covering his arm with blood flowing out, with an arrow stuck in it.
"Are you injured?" Ji Changying turned to look at her cousin's arm. Just as she was about to step forward to support him, she heard Zhou Yidao's solemn voice: "Something's wrong! The rain of arrows suddenly stopped!"
He didn't believe that those people would be kind enough to let them go. Maybe they had some evil ideas up their sleeves!
Ji Changying paused, extended his supernatural power to take a look, and suddenly the hairs on his body stood up.
The archers on the trees had all switched to crossbows and were about to take action. The crossbows were all made of metal, gleaming coldly in the night. The workmanship was better and sharper than those made by the private soldiers in her space!
Ji Changying turned around and flew into the air: "Xing Wu! Quickly find a way to get rid of those people in the tree! They are switching to crossbows!"
Hearing the sound of the strong crossbow, even Jiang Qianruo, who was sitting in the carriage, changed his expression, lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.
Xing Wu's face was even darker and darker: "Quick! Stop them!"
Even if it means exchanging my life for yours, I will do it!
Jiang Qianruo was furious. The other party was desperate and dared to use a crossbow!
"Brother, give me your power-eliminating powder!"
Huang Lao felt a little pain in his heart, but thinking of the current situation, he didn't dare to say anything. He decisively reached out and took out a bottle of medicine from his bag: "Be careful with it, don't use it on your own people!"
When the leading man in black heard what Ji Changying shouted, he knew that this was a big stumbling block, and without hesitation he put down the guards beside him and went to meet her.
Xing Wu led his men as they fought their way towards the tree, wanting to stop the man on the tree at all costs. Because of their actions, the man on the tree also sped up his movements, changing arrows and loading guns in one go.
Ji Changying looked at the obstacle in front of her and was very angry: "Die!"
All the supernatural powers came out and silently wrapped around the opponent's neck, hands and feet. The whole person flew towards Ji Changying uncontrollably. She broke the leader's neck with a slight force in her hands.
The other party died with his eyes open.
"Aying! Get out of the way!"
Ji Changying felt the sound of an arrow behind her and moved to the side. An arrow brushed past her cheek and hit the tree trunk in front of her. The powder tied to it suddenly exploded and hit several archers who were preparing to shoot on the tree. The moment they were touched by the powder, they fell headfirst.
Ji Changying stepped back and quickly moved away from the medicinal powder.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
A burst of dense arrow sounds was heard, and those archers who had not yet had time to press down the hanging swords to shoot crossbows fell down with arrows stuck in their heads.
Ji Changying widened her eyes in surprise and looked to the other side of the forest.
In the other direction of the forest, there was another group of men in black, and they were aiming at this side again.
Before Ji Changying could speak to remind Xing Wu and the others, the enemy's rain of arrows came again.
Her expression froze and she held the corpse in front of her, but she didn't expect that all the crossbow arrows would brush past her body and shoot towards her from behind.
“Puff!” “Puff!”
After a few sounds, Xing Wu and the others watched in a daze as half of their opponents fell, and the remaining ones were taken over by the group of men in black who suddenly rushed out.
The men in black in the woods put down their crossbows and slowly appeared, making way for them and revealing a face that was both strange and familiar.
Ji Changying widened her eyes in surprise.
"Your Majesty, I, Xie Siheng, the Chief of Criminal Investigation, am sorry for being late in coming to your aid. Please forgive me!"
