Chapter 086: His Instincts
Accidents happened suddenly, no one expected that there would be assassins in broad daylight and the opportunity to deliver medicine to make trouble, they were all slender women, the white and delicate hands holding the sword were quite disobedient, but the murderous aura on the tip of the sword reminded Shang Jue and Chaoxi that they must not relax their vigilance, there were Chaoxi and Shang Jue in the courtyard, as well as Zijing, Yun Zhe was standing more than ten steps away, Fulan and Zhan Jiucheng were in the cross-courtyard on both sides, these killers did not have many opportunities, the only chance to win was to be surprised, they should have been closer to Chaoxi and Shang Jue to make a move, but they couldn't stand Luo Yuqiang running back and shoutingοΌ
Even though they didn't make a move at the best opportunity, when the five sharp swords rushed towards Chaoxi, Chaoxi still felt a touch of death, and these five people came with the determination to die!
"Princess, be careful!"
Zi Wei let out a heart-rending roar, Shang Jue hugged Chaoxi into his arms and retreated sharply, but behind them was the wall, but after two steps, there was no way to retreat, the tip of the sword had already forced the two of them to approach, Shang Jue's wide sleeves rolled, the strong wind suddenly rose, and in an instant, the sword momentum of the five people was stagnant!
However, the five people reacted very quickly, and then pounced on the two of them even more fiercely.
The target of the five people was only in the morning and evening, seeing that Shang Jue held the whole day and night in his arms, he couldn't help beckoning the sword to him, seeing that there were no weapons on the two of them, the moves of the five people were simple and direct, and they slashed down from five directions!
With such a watertight sword net, even the top masters will not escape death.
These five people were sure that this sword would definitely see blood, and their eyes burst out with a ghostly light, but they underestimated Shang Jue!
The five swords seemed to fall at the same time, but there were subtle differences between the front and back, Shang Jue found a breakthrough from this subtle difference, and an invisible blade turned out in his palm, he was like a phantom to avoid the first sword, and the first assassin who fell the sword found that something was wrong, and when she was about to turn her wrist to change the direction of the sword, suddenly a powerful air flow controlled her wrist, and before she could react, her sword actually picked up the second companion......
The second person never thought that his companion would raise his sword against him, and the sword of the first assassin had slipped from her sword and stabbed straight into the chest of the second person, with a scream, the smell of blood suddenly came out, and the three people behind saw that this chapter was slightly chaotic, but they still went towards Shang Jue, seeing that the third sword was about to fall, the assassin who accidentally killed her companion did not react before she felt a push behind her and couldn't stop rushing forward, this pounce happened to block the third person's sword for Chaoxi and Shang Jue!
There was a slight sound of a sharp blade breaking through flesh, and the first person's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of pain and fear!
The third assassin was tripped by his companion, but the fourth sword had already arrived in front of Shang Jue, the sword seemed to break through the air and the speed was extremely fast, but it was still not as fast as Shang Jue's speed, the sword fell, the assassin thought that he had stabbed Shang Jue, and looked closely, but found that the stabbing was only Shang Jue's afterimage, she was shocked and changed, and before she could react, her hand was uncontrollable and swung the sword in another direction, with a sound of "ding", the fourth person and the fifth person fought, and the impermeable sword net was completely disintegrated!
This so many changes are only in a moment, the sword in the fourth person's hand is like a spiritual snake, in the fifth person's unguarded angle, easily a sword pierced into the fifth person's waist and abdomen, the blood is all over, the third person's sword is again, Shang Jue has always received the move with one hand, he has an invisible sword in his hand, the third person found out that it was too late, a cold neck, not even a cry of pain She has fallen in a pool of blood, four people were damaged in the blink of an eye, the fourth assassin has to kill again, Yun Zhe has already pounced!
Despise the opponent will always pay a painful price, Yun Zhe's hand is up and down, and there are already five people lying down at the feet of Chaoxi and Shang Jue, Zi Xun stood aside and watched with a pale face, she was surprised and afraid and speechless, she only felt that Shang Jue was moving around with the day and night and didn't even touch the sword wind, but at this moment, Shang Jue and Chaoxi were still standing in place!
Zi Wei was still stunned, and suddenly rushed in a large number of passers-by in the corridor leading to both sides of the courtyard, on the left was Fulan, and on the right was Zhan Jiucheng, Shen'er and other guards with him, everyone looked like they were facing a great enemy, and when they looked at it, they found that the assassins had been subdued, Zhan Jiucheng waved his hand, and the guards behind him retreated, and he himself stepped forward with a ashamed face.
"Your Highness, it's too late for your subordinates to save ......"
Shang Jue waved his hand and looked down at the person in his arms, "How is it?"
Chao Xi Mo was red, she didn't even frown, the cold cicada flashed between her fingers and retracted into her sleeves, she shook her head, her eyes looked coldly at the five assassins who fell in a pool of blood, and when she raised her eyes, she looked at Luo Yuqiang who was standing at the gate of the courtyard in a daze, she looked at it like this, and everyone else also looked over.
Luo Yuqiang was probably the first time to see this kind of thrilling and bloody scene, and he was stupid for a while, but at this moment everyone looked at him before he came back to his senses, his body shook, and the steamed bun in his arms suddenly rolled out.
He looked at the steamed bun and pursed his lips, not knowing why others were looking at him.
"You know there's something wrong with them?"
Shang Jue asked gently, and Luo Yuqiang immediately tensed up.
Although he didn't finish shouting the sentence "they are not", it was clear that he had already noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly came back, and it was precisely because of Luo Yuqiang that those assassins made a move in advance, if they waited for the five people to come to them before making a move, Shang Jue might not be able to stabilize the situation so easily.
"I ...... I ......"
Luo Yuqiang lowered his head, "I recognize...... Recognize...... Delivery ...... Target...... People ......"
"They...... I don't...... I don't know ......."
Luo Yuqiang seemed to be a little afraid to look at Shang Jue directly, he was already a little stammering, he was extremely nervous to be looked at by Shang Jue at the moment, and he stumbled in a word, Shang Jue listened very patiently, and then glanced at Zhan Jiucheng, Zhan Jiucheng's face was extremely ugly, but at this moment, he instantly understood what Shang Jue meant, nodded and turned around and ran out.
Shang Jue looked at Luo Yuqiang and instructed Shen'er, "Get him some more food and send him back." β
Shen'er hurriedly responded, Shang Jue looked at the miserable scene in front of the house and frowned slightly, and instructed Yun Zhe, "I'll leave it to you." β
Yun Zhe clenched his fists and nodded, while Shang Jue turned around and entered the room with Chaoxi in his arms.
The two of them turned around and just took a step, when suddenly there was a strange movement behind them-
"Princess!"
Zi Wei was standing behind and was still stunned, but at this moment he screamed again, Shang Jue and Chaoxi turned back at the same time, and suddenly saw an assassin who was lying down suddenly raised his sword and stabbed at Chaoxi's vest, the two of them were facing backs, and they had already lost the opportunity, so they had to twist their bodies to dodge, thinking that they would be hurt a little, but they didn't want Shang Jue's hand holding her waist to loosen, and grabbed the sword body, the tip of the sword was only an inch away from Chaoxi's back, and the assassin was stagnant, Yun Zhe's sword was already on the assassin's neck!
Chaoxi looked at Shang Jue's hand holding the sword and began to drip blood, and was stunned for a moment!
"You-"
The assassin gasped for breath, the blood foaming from the corners of her lips kept gushing out, and when she saw that she was not hurt, she showed a disappointed look in her eyes, and then closed her eyes suddenly, and the next moment she fell to the side bleeding from all her knots!
Shang Jue slowly let go of the hand holding the sword, and the special soft sword fell to the ground with a "clang".
"Call Mr. Tang quickly!"
Yun Zhe shouted, Zi Jing ran to the side of the courtyard like a dream just woke up, Shang Jue's left palm was cut out of two extremely deep holes, at this moment the blood was dripping down, the original smooth and delicate palm lines were cut off, making people feel that the bones in his palm were about to break, this is the second time Shang Jue was injured for Chaoxi, Chaoxi frowned, and dragged him into the house!
Chao Xi pursed his lips tightly, and after pulling Shang Jue to sit down, he didn't know what to do, his fists in his sleeves were clenched, his face was cold and a little anxious, Shang Jue looked at Chao Xi quietly, his face was calm, as if the pain was nothing to him.
Tang Shu came quickly, and as soon as he entered the door and saw that it was Shang Jue who was injured, his brows furrowed tightly, "How could His Highness ......?"
He exclaimed, and hurriedly took the wound medicine to stop bleeding and came out to treat the wound for Shang Jue, and when the blood was wiped clean, he could see the deep wound that could be seen more and more, Tang Shu's face was full of regret, "This wound is not shallow, how can Your Highness hold the sword with your hand, if it is a little deeper, your hand will be wasted, you have never been a person who does not consider the consequences, you ......"
"Okay, it's no big deal. β
Tang Shu didn't know what the situation was, only because he cared about Shang Jue's words, but he didn't pay attention to the complexion of the day and night, and when Shang Jue finally opened his mouth, he stopped talking and concentrated on bandaging Shang Jue's wounds, "I'm afraid that it will be good in a month, I can't see water these days, let alone take heavy objects, and the medicine has to be changed three times a day." β
Tang Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead, and when he got up, he saw that Chaoxi's face was also a little ugly, Chaoxi frowned, and the corners of his lips were also very tight, although it was not very exposed, but it was still a little different from ordinary Chaoxi.
"Your Royal Highness, what is wrong with you?"
Shang Jue also looked at Chaoxi and pulled his lips, "Let's go and prepare the medicine for cold, she's fine." β
Tang Shu looked at Chaoxi worriedly, turned around and left.
As soon as Tang Shu left, Fu Lan entered the room with a smile, stood at the door and looked at Shang Jue's hand and yawned lazily, "I haven't seen you hang a lottery in eight hundred years, how does it feel to hold that sword?"
Shang Jue narrowed his eyes and glanced at Fulan coldly.
Fu Lan touched his nose, and his smile deepened when his eyes swept over the face of the morning and evening......
Yun Zhe was cleaning up the mess outside, and checked it again, and after a while, Zhan Jiucheng also came back, and the two entered the house together, Zhan Jiucheng was stunned when he saw Shang Jue's wrapped hands, and his expression was simply distressed and surprised!
Shang Jue flicked his sleeve to cover his injured hand, "Let's talk about it." β
Zhan Jiucheng came back to his senses and said busily, "I went to the pharmacy of the Hou Mansion to investigate, and they all said that these people were slaves who were bought back half a month ago, and they were temporarily arranged to do chores in the pharmacy and dining room. β
Shang Jue glanced at Chaoxi, and Chaoxi was cold, his face was extremely cold.
Yun Zhe continued, "That person took poison, and only one of the other four is alive, but it's also very difficult, there is nothing to find on several people, there are poisons hidden in their mouths, they are all professional killers, since they entered the mansion half a month ago, I am afraid that they have been waiting for the opportunity for a long time." β
Shang Jue said directly, "Just dispose of the corpse, and you don't need to find other clues." β
Zhan Jiucheng and Yun Zhe glanced at each other, both nodded, and Shang Jue waved his hand, "Stand down." β
The two walked out of the door, and only Chaoxi and Shang Jue were left inside.
Shang Jue turned his head to look at Chaoxi, "What do you think?"
There was a bit of killing aura in the eyes of the morning and night, although it was only a flash, but it was still captured by Shang Jue.
"Nan Yeshan has never succeeded, and this time he used the dead. β
Chaoxi's words were calm and very determined, and Shang Jue didn't say much, "It's good that you know it in your heart, you never go out lightly in this mansion, and there are people who follow you when you go out ordinarily, so they hit the idea into the courtyard, and they have a chance of winning today." β
Chaoxi lowered her eyes and saw Shang Jue's injured hand, she frowned, the corners of her lips became tighter and tighter, Shang Jue looked down at her somewhat exaggerated hand that was bandaged by Tang Shu, and smiled, "It's nothing, you don't have to take it to heart." β
Chaoxi frowned and turned around, and walked straight to the window.
It's still early in the sky now, but there is no sun today, the sky outside is a gloomy gray, and the bottom of the eyes is also infected by that layer of gray, and the voice is gloomy, "The sword is you want to hold yourself, I won't appreciate it." β
Shang Jue actually smiled when he heard this, "I know. β
Morning and night clenched his fists, "You are the most sensible person, since you know why ......"
Shang Jue raised his eyebrows in a relaxed tone, and said with a warm smile, "It was all instinctive reaction at that time, but I didn't have time to think about anything else." β
Instinctive reaction......
These four words are ordinary, and Shang Jue didn't even have a special tone when he said it.
But these four words fell, and the complexion of the day and night completely sank.
In this world, everyone relies on their skills to weigh the pros and cons and guide them according to the situation, what is their instinct? If it is used in other ways of power and strategy, you can praise him for his talent, but he has done a stupid thing that is not profitable!
The silence in the room was terrible, Shang Jue looked at the straight back of Chaoxi and was about to speak, but Zi Xun suddenly flashed in from outside, and looked at the strange atmosphere of the two people in the room, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Your Highness, the prince of the country has come to visit." β
- Jun Yan?
Shang Jue looked at Chaoxi and nodded, "Please let him in." β
Zi Jing went out, and Shang Jue said lightly, "He must have known the news and came to you." β
So saying, he got up and went into the inner room.
He turned his head and stared in the direction of the inner room for a long time.
When Jun Yan entered the house, he only saw Chao Xi alone, although the courtyard outside had been cleaned up, but the smell of blood was very obvious, as soon as he entered the door, he looked nervously at Chao Xi, and was relieved to see that she was fine, and Zhao Xi glanced at Zi Wei and others outside, and took Jun Yan through a moon cave door to the warm pavilion!
When he walked to the warm pavilion, he opened the window, and he was relieved to see that there was no one outside.
As soon as he entered the Moon Cave Gate, Jun Yan lowered his head, and his voice was deep.
"These five are fish that slipped through the net, our people have not found out, they just chose to go to the Zangjian Pavilion today when all the guests went to the Zangjian Pavilion to do it because the guards on this side of the guest house are not as strict as in the past, but at this time you are back. Jun Yan's tone was calm and steady, and he no longer saw the usual romance, "Fortunately, you are not injured." β
"He's hurt." β
Jun Yan was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react, and he subconsciously turned his head to look outside, and then said, "You mean...... Shang Jue was injured, how could it be, how could he be so skillful ......?"
He didn't speak, but his eyes were empty for a moment.
Jun Yan couldn't wait for a response for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "How to deal with this matter?"
Chaoxi narrowed his eyes, and then sneered, "The mad dog bites people indiscriminately, and now that the dog is dead, of course its owner will be investigated next, do you want me to teach you how to do it?"
Jun Yan's eyes were helpless, and he suddenly remembered something and asked, "When will Bai Luan come?"
Bai Luan is the leader of the Moge Ming Clan, Jun Yan's question made Chao Xi smile with two points of interest, she raised her hand, and her fingertips stretched out the window lattice to meet the cold wind outside, "You haven't seen her yet, it should be almost there." β
