He stepped forward and pulled out the blood-stained sword. The dead assassin slipped and fell to the ground with a bang.
Eyes wide open, eyes wide open.
Seeing this, the other assassin put away his sword and ran away.
Chu Yuci narrowed his eyes, "Where are you running!"
The figure flashed, leaving only an afterimage at such a fast speed that he blocked the assassin's path with a snap of his fingers. He swung out the blood-stained sword, with blood droplets splashing everywhere on the sword, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring.
The assassin had to fight him.
The swords collided, and the blood was cold.
Eyes facing each other.
The man's dark eyes flashed with awe-inspiring murderous intent, and his inner strength sent him flying five to six meters away.
Bang!
"Cough-poof!"
The assassin was defeated and spit out a mouthful of blood. Knowing that he was no match for King Yu, he immediately took out a smoke bomb from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.
Thick smoke is everywhere!
"Stop!" Ye Jinxiao took a step forward and was about to rush out to catch someone, but the man was faster.
All I could hear was the strong wind blowing, thick smoke covering everything, covering my sight, and exuding a pungent smell. I couldn't see anything clearly, and I couldn't even see my fingers.
Ye Jinxiao was disoriented for a moment, raised his sleeves and quickly fanned the smoke around him.
My vision is blurred and my hearing is extra sensitive.
Only a few muffled groans and cries of pain were heard. About five or six seconds later, there was a 'bang', and a body hit her feet heavily.
"ah!"
The heavy object fell, the smoke dispersed, and a long sword was seen shooting through the assassin's shoulder blade, nailing him to the ground.
His face was twisted in pain, and the blood of his struggle flowed all over the ground:
"Ah! Ah!"
Looking up, he saw Chu Yuci standing coldly a dozen steps away, walking through the thick smoke, with bright red blood dripping from the fingertips of his right hand hanging by his side.
he got hurt?
He walked over and looked down at the people on the ground:
"Who sent you?"
The assassin was like a piece of fish nailed to a chopping board, struggling to escape, so he simply stopped struggling and glared at Ye Jinxiao fiercely.
His eyes were like a ferocious wolf, as if he wanted to tear Ye Jinxiao alive.
Three days!
Within three days, she will pay the price!
Ha ha!
Hahaha!
The assassin suddenly laughed ferociously, laughing, and dark blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Ye Jinxiao noticed something and quickly stepped forward and pinched his jaw, but it was already a step too late.
"He had the red crane crown hidden in his mouth beforehand."
Hedinghong is extremely poisonous. After entering the body, it can kill in more than ten seconds, and even the gods and goddesses cannot save it.
The assassin's eyes widened, his neck tilted, and he had already died.
"The purpose of hiding poison in the mouth is to prevent the master from revealing important confidence or information when the mission fails and is caught by the opponent, so he bites the poison and ends his life quickly," Chu Yuci said.
"However, usually only well-trained killers or secret guards will be equipped with poison."
It takes a lot of effort to train a secret guard with such strong martial arts skills.
Ye Jinxiao was very curious.
Who wants to kill her so badly?
If the guess is correct, the man the two of them met in Wenrou Township tonight was also the one who wanted to kill her.
Who did she provoke?
Ye Jinxiao knelt down and inspected the items on the assassin's body.
After looking around, except for some broken silver and the sword that he carried with him, there was nothing extra, and there was no price to prove his identity.
Somewhat unwilling, he ran over there again to check another corpse.
"No need to look for it, it's useless." Chu Yu said.
"Since they are determined to be the killer, they come prepared and will not leave any clues. These two are very vigilant and are not stupid enough to leave any clues for you to follow."
Ye Jinxiao frowned.
Could it be someone sent by Liu Mingyue?
Probably not.
Liu Mingyue is not that capable yet.
Chu Yuci pulled out a long sword carved with a silver dragon, brought out a long string of blood beads, and asked, "Who did you provoke?"
"I also want to know who I messed with."
"You have always been perverse and mischievous, I'm afraid you have made many enemies." He snorted coldly, took out the brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the dirty blood on the sword body.
I still want to make peace with him every day.
After leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, she might not even be able to save her life.
Ye Jinxiao smiled hypocritically: "Yes, my mother's family has nothing, only a few stinky money, but I have never done anything harmful to nature, or to seek wealth or life."
"Could the person who killed me be jealous of my mother's family's wealth?"
She said she was perverse, but she didn't say he was straight and straight.
Over the years of marching and fighting, he has killed, died, offended, and made more enemies than he can count, both openly and secretly.
Compared to the two, they are at best dwarfed.
"You still have the nerve to say that you have never done anything harmful to nature?"
"What did I do to make you hold such a grudge?"
She held her head high, her eyes full of magnanimity.
Seeing this, Chu Yuci snorted coldly, wiped the sword vigorously, and threw the dirty brocade handkerchief to the ground in disgust.
What a thick-skinned woman!
What have you done without knowing it?
shameless!
"What is this?" Ye Jinxiao suddenly breathed out, and unexpectedly found a snowflake-like mark on the back shoulder blade of the body.
Like a birthmark, like a scar left by a knife.
Chu Yuci stepped forward quickly, put his two fingers together, and opened the collar of the corpse.
"This body has it too."
Two corpses, in the same position, with the same red mark of snowflakes.
Chu Yuci lowered his eyes and thought carefully about something: "Northern Yan Kingdom."
Ye Jinxiao was stunned for a moment: "What?"
"This should be the mark of the secret guard of the royal family of the Northern Yan Kingdom." Chu Yuci thought deeply, "The Northern Yan Kingdom is in the cold weather all year round. It snows for almost six months every year. After years of cold, the snow It became the symbol of Beiyan Kingdom."
This snowflake mark represents the Northern Yan royal family.
When they mentioned Bei Yan, they both thought of the same person:
"Zhan Jiuye!"
Prince Beiyan!
At the beginning, Prince Beiyan poisoned Nancheng and Feicheng. After being found out, he had a direct conflict with Chu Yuci and finally fell into the Jiangbei River. His life and death were unknown.
The Beiyan royal family had poisoned them first and knew that they were in the wrong. Naturally, they did not dare to blatantly come to the Nanyuan Kingdom to ask for people, so they sent secret guards to sneak into the Nanyuan Imperial Capital to find their prince, and to find the 'murderer' who murdered their prince. Princess Yu killed him in revenge.
So it all makes sense.
These people are here to seek revenge!
Ye Jinxiao's eyes turned cold, and his expression became more solemn than ever before: "After the Prince of Beiyan fell into the Jiangbei River, was there any follow-up?"
Chu Yuci shook his head:
"After Zhan Jiuye fell into the river, I arranged for people to follow him downstream. So far, his body has not been found."
The chances of survival were slim.
The body might have been eaten by a big fish in the river; it might also have sunk to the bottom of the river.
The river was so wide and deep, and there was no way he could escape.
Ye Jinxiao's face turned ugly: "It was obviously you who started the conflict with him, and it was also a conflict between Nanyuan Kingdom and Beiyan Kingdom. Why did you send someone to kill me?"
Shouldn't we find trouble with Chu Yuci?
In other words, she unknowingly offended the Beiyan royal family, and the number of people sent to assassinate her in the future will never stop.
Before leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, he was killed.
There will be endless troubles in the future.
How could she live a normal life like this?
Chu Yuci raised his eyebrows, "Have you never heard of a saying that only picks soft persimmons?"
Scared?
He sensed her worries, and as if he was holding her hand, he extended an olive branch in a good mood:
"If you stay in Prince Yu's Mansion with peace of mind, no one will dare to touch you, and I can protect your peace for the rest of your life."
