Chapter Seventy-Eight: Life Hangs by a Thread
Two days passed before the effect of the boiling effect of the hemp completely disappeared from Zhu Jiu's body, and Zhu Jiu never heard any other information from the two assassins.
On the contrary, Tuoba Yu was locked up with her, although he was also tied up by Wuhuada, but he cursed Zhu Jiu viciously while crying.
"You dead star! If it weren't for you, I would still be the daughter of the Tuoba family, and I would be able to enter the palace to serve the king, and I would be as favored as you! ”
"But you destroyed our Tuoba family, if you didn't know whether to provoke Zhu Jiu at the beginning, how could my Tuoba family suffer such a catastrophe?!"
"If I am dragged into the Netherworld by you this time, Tuoba Ye, I will not let you go as a ghost!"
Zhu Jiu plucked out his ears, slowly loosened the rope tied to his arm, and looked at her lightly under Tuoba Yu's abrupt and shocked gaze: "Don't you also know martial arts?" Untie the rope yourself and scold me again. ”
Tuoba Yu's face flushed, and he gritted his teeth to break free from the rope, but after trying for a long time, the rope became tighter and tighter.
She was uncomfortable here, and over there, Zhu Jiu had already begun to eat the food brought in by the assassins.
Coo-goo-goo......
Although those meals were cold, they were still delicious for Tuoba Yu, who had been hungry for several days, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and after a burst of hungry screams in his stomach, he finally couldn't help but beg Zhu Jiu: "It's a big deal, I won't scold you, you let me go first, let me eat!" Otherwise, I'm going to starve to death......"
Zhu Jiu chuckled, and then raised his hand and shot out a sharpened piece of sawdust, piercing the rope that bound her.
Tuoba Yu regained his freedom, and rushed over impatiently to grab the food, along with the portion that Zhu Jiu hadn't finished.
Zhu Jiu raised his eyebrows, didn't bother with her, but took advantage of her to eat and relax while tearing her skirt to wrap the wound, and casually asked, "When were you caught here?" Who are these Assassins? ”
Earlier, she had heard Xuanyuan Che say that these assassins were from the Chen family in Jiangnan.
But after the last time the female assassin happened, wasn't the Chen family copied by Xuanyuan Che?
Zhu Jiu was puzzled in his heart, waiting for Tuoba Yu to answer.
But Tuoba Yu swallowed things and glared at her viciously: "You still have the face to ask me?" Didn't you kill the sister of the leader of the Assassins with your own hands? The leader of the Assassins has long decided to kill you to avenge his sister! Otherwise, how could I have been caught by him and locked up here? The guy also said he was going to bury me with me! ”
It turns out that the female assassin she killed last time was the sister of the leader of this wave of assassins.
Zhu Jiu figured out the reason, and also understood why she was not killed immediately, presumably the other party used her to lure out Xuanyuan Che is one of them, and the other is that he wants her and Xuanyuan Che to bury the female assassin.
Seeing that she was thoughtful, Tuoba Yu was also full, and couldn't help but approach her and ask, "Tuoba Ye, why aren't you panicking at all?" Is there a way for you to escape? ”
After speaking, she stared at Zhu Jiu with bright eyes: "In this way, if you have a way to escape, tell me!" I'll explore the way for you first, and after I succeed, I will definitely find someone to save you! ”
Zhu Jiu laughed and turned his head to look at her: "You? ”
The viciousness in this woman's eyes was almost written on her face, and it was clear that she wanted to escape and let her die with these assassins.
I saw that Tuoba Yu still pretended to be a sister, and performed: "That's natural, although I hate you, but there are only two of us left in the Tuoba family, we are sisters, so we should help each other, right?" ”
"Okay, then I'll tell you how to escape."
Zhu Jiu beckoned to her and motioned for her to poke her head over.
Tuoba Yu secretly scolded Zhu Jiu for being a fool, he believed her so easily, and on her face, she approached Zhu Jiu with joy.
It's just that as soon as his head stretched out, the acupuncture point was a little heavier by Zhu Jiu, and he rolled his eyes in an instant and fainted to the ground.
Zhu Jiu clapped his hands and picked up the rope on the ground, took out the sharp hidden weapon pulled out of his abdomen from his sleeve and tied it to the end of the rope, tested the tightness and walked towards the door, patting the door a few times.
"Anyone? I have something to say to your princes. ”
The assassins guarding outside were all shocked, obviously they didn't expect Zhu Jiu to untie the rope!
Just as the two of them were a little cautious and prepared to open the door, suddenly, the male assassin who had injured Zhu Jiu that day came in from outside the courtyard.
The Assassin was young, masked, and his eyes were beautiful.
"Chief!"
The two Assassins guarding the door immediately withdrew their gaze from the doorway and hurriedly bowed their heads to him.
The male assassin walked past the two of them, pushed the door open, and his cold gaze fell on the empty firewood room, searching for Zhu Jiu's figure everywhere.
Phew-
A sharp hidden weapon broke through the air, just like when he stabbed Zhu Jiu that day.
I didn't expect this woman to learn so quickly, the male assassin sneered in his eyes, dodged sideways, and caught Zhu Jiu who was hiding behind the beam of the room in a few dodges.
"Ahem!"
The neck was controlled, Zhu Jiu was almost out of breath, and when his eyes hurriedly met him, the male assassin threw her to two of his subordinates.
"Take her to see Xuanyuan Che."
"Yes!"
In just two sentences, Zhu Jiu's heart was shocked, and soon, she was firmly escorted to the door of the mansion by two assassins, and when she looked up and looked down the stairs, she saw Xuanyuan Che coming with Luo Zheng and a team of Imperial Forest Army!
Xuanyuan Che had already led his troops to surround this mansion, he was riding on a snowflake horse, and a silk tunic brocade outlining the young man's vigorous and powerful waist, he just stood there, Zhu Jiu felt that there were thousands of mountains and thousands of snows rushing to his face, and it was cold and clear.
Especially those cold eyes, when he saw that she was safe and sound, he softened almost imperceptibly, and in the next second, the young man's eyes fell on the assassin: "Let her go, Lone can consider giving you a whole corpse." ”
The male assassin laughed loudly, put his hands behind his back, and confronted him with neither humility nor arrogance: "Xuanyuan Che, you really dare to say it!" As soon as he entered Xuanyuan, he destroyed the three major families, and killed my sister, and now you don't even let go of the Chen family, do you think that if I dare to enter the imperial capital today to find you, I will be afraid that you will not leave me and other corpses? ”
The hatred that burst out of his eyes was no less than Zhu Jiu's hatred for Xuanyuan Che, but Zhu Jiu was smarter than him and knew how to hide.
Or perhaps, the Assassin had no need to hide his hatred.
Zhu Jiu glanced at him thoughtfully, and shook his head at Xuanyuan Che very calmly: "Your Majesty, thank you for coming to the rescue, but the slave is cheap, and he doesn't dare to let you put yourself in danger, please go back!" ”
Xuanyuan Che's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze fell on her: "Are you saying that you can't save even a woman in the world when you fight alone?" ”
"No more nonsense!"
The male assassin threw out two daggers, one fell in front of Xuanyuan Che, and the other on Zhu Jiu's shoulder, and said to Xuanyuan Che with a smile: "Xuanyuan Che, let you taste the taste of losing your loved ones!" If you kill yourself, I'll let you go. ”
"If you choose to kill me, then I will let you watch Tuoba Ye die in front of you!"
Zhu Jiu frowned slightly, glancing at the knife that the other party was stabbing her neck harder and harder.
Luo Zheng's face changed slightly, and he took the lead in snatching the dagger: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity to capture the assassin alive, and you must not lose it because of a small one!" ”
"Oh? Then did you choose Tuoba Ye to die? ”
The male assassin smiled, but his subordinates showed no mercy, his hand raised and fell, and the cold light suddenly stabbed Zhu Jiu's neck......
