Chapter Ninety-Seven: Ambush
"Do you mean that there will be a lot of people going tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, no, they will hide in the crowd of people who deliver things, and they will not arouse the suspicion of others."
"That's good!"
"Guest, your pot is here!"
Zhang Zezhen looked at the charcoal hot pot and remembered the hot pot eaten in modern times, which was so nostalgic. She immediately picked up the meat and vegetables and wanted to put them inside, but was stopped by Xu Yue.
"You wait a while, wait for the water to boil before you put it!"
Zhang Zezhen is a foodie, and being able to take a bite before going to the battlefield can be regarded as fulfilling his wish.
"Jin Gongzi, my wife will be handed over to you tomorrow, and please worry about you and General Xiao."
"Xu Gongzi rest assured, the two of us will do our best to protect her life."
"Thank you!"
"You two big men are really ink, hurry up and eat it!"
Looking at Zhang Zezhen's innocent appearance, Jin Zhen was envious, but at the same time worried about her, tomorrow is destined to be an extraordinary day.
"Alright, let's eat, let's eat!"
The three of them sat together and ate a hot hot pot, and when it was over, Jin Yu left first, leaving the two of them to go to get their clothes slowly.
"Shopkeeper, how's that outfit we made this morning?"
"Guest officer, it's already good, you try it, it doesn't fit."
Zhang Zezhen picked up the clothes, compared them on himself, liked it very much, and went to the back room to change them.
"Look, is it pretty?" Zhang Zezhen showed off in front of Xu Yue.
"Well, it's beautiful, my lady is as beautiful as a fairy!"
"You'll open your eyes and tell nonsense!"
"Where? I'm saying this from the bottom of my heart!"
"Humph!" Zhang Zezhen turned his head away from Xu Yue, and said to the shopkeeper, "I like it very much! Thank you!"
"You're welcome, girl!"
"Then we're leaving, shopkeeper."
"Okay, I'll come back next time!"
Zhang Zezhen wore beautiful clothes, took Xu Yue's arm, and happily returned to the palace.
"Did you buy what you should have bought?" Xu Yue asked.
"The emperor sent someone to buy it, and I'll do it later."
"Do you need anything here?"
"No, I just need to bring my brain over! Hey, hey!"
"It's all here, and I'm still in the mood to laugh, I really admire you!"
"Oh, life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky, cherishing the present is the king."
"Yes, yes, what the lady said is right!"
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Tian and Jin Yu waited in front of Zhang Zezhen's house.
"Okay? Zhang Zezhen!"
"It's coming, don't rush!"
Are women so troublesome? Xiao Tian couldn't help but complain.
"I said senior brother, you don't have a favorite girl at first glance, this woman is very reserved."
"Humph! It's like you have someone you like."
"I don't have it now, it doesn't mean I didn't have it before!"
As soon as Jin Zhen's words fell, Zhang Zezhen opened the door, "Okay, let's go!"
Xu Yue also came out to see them off, and kept telling the two of them to send the lady back safely.
Xiao Tian also vouched with his life that as long as the two of us don't die, we will never let Miss Zhang have anything to do.
After saying goodbye to each other, the three of them set off with a group of people sent by the emperor.
Zhang Zezhen sat in the sedan chair and was sleepy, and Jin Zhen and Xiao Tian were two guards, riding horses to guard both sides of the sedan chair.
In order to prove that Zhang Zezhen is still alive, they will hurt her from time to time.
"Is the sedan chair still alive?" Xiao Tian scoffed.
"Get out!"
"What did you say? Be louder! I can't hear you!"
Zhang Zezhen was very angry, if it weren't for Xiao Tian's strong martial arts, he wouldn't be able to beat him, it would be early
Just throw him into the river and feed the fish!
She lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "I say! You deserve to be single!"
"You girl! How can you poke people in the sore spots? Don't you talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality?"
"Benevolence, righteousness, morality? It depends on who? We're just going to hurt each other."
"Humph!" Xiao Tian was so angry that he didn't speak.
Jin Yu sneered on the side and said, "How many times have I told you, senior brother! Don't mess with women! It's going to be good, it's going to be dumb, right?"
"If you have this leisure, you better think about yourself!"
"What do I have...... Be careful! There are assassins! Protect Miss Zhang!"
The Golden Stinger leapt from his horse, drew his sword and charged at the Assassin.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zezhen poked her head out, wanting to ask about the situation.
When Xiao Tian saw her, he hurriedly reminded, "Come in, don't move! You guys, you must keep Miss Zhang's safety to the death!"
"Yes! General Xiao!"
"Who's coming? Get your name in!" Jin Yu said to the man in black.
"I have been commanded to take your lives!"
"Humph! Who is so bold! Dare to get along with me Xiao Tian, I think he has lived enough!"
"Humph! Then I'll try!"
Five men in black rushed at them.
Jin Zhen and Xiao Tian also rushed forward, several people fought together, and Zhang Zezhen sat in the sedan chair and trembled.
Xiao Tian's martial arts are world-famous, and he solved two people by himself, and Jin Zhen is not inferior at all, although it is more difficult, but he still solves the other two accomplices together, and now there is only one person left.
"Don't you still admit defeat? We're two against one now, and you don't have a chance of winning!" The Golden Sting shouted.
"The two of you really live up to your reputation, and my four most powerful generals have all died at your hands, so I can't leave, I want you to pay with blood!"
With that, the only remaining man in black came up again.
This time, he directly faced the golden sting, and as soon as Xiao Tian wanted to help, he saw a silver needle flying towards him.
"It's broken, it's underestimated!"
Xiao Tian quickly blocked the silver needle, "Golden sting, be careful, it's a poisonous needle!"
"Haha! It's too late!" The man in black took out a few silver needles from his body and threw them at the guards beside Zhang Zezhen.
Xiao Tian hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, he thought that he had blocked all the silver needles, but he didn't expect this person to leave a hand, and directly stabbed the highly poisonous dagger at the guard next to the sedan chair.
A dagger flew over, and four of the eight people who were guarding had already fallen.
Seeing this, Jin Yu immediately returned to the sedan chair, he absolutely couldn't let others get close to Zhang Zezhen.
"Who the hell are you?" Xiao Tian asked again.
"It doesn't matter! The important thing is that you must die today!"
"Look at the move!" Xiao Angel made a killer move and threw the sword at the man in black, the speed of the sword was so fast that it was impossible to dodge at all.
"Ahh The man in black had a deep scar on his right arm!
"Senior brother! Be careful! Although this person's martial arts skills are not as good as yours, he is a must in the use of hidden weapons, and he should not be underestimated!"
"Yes!"
"The golden sting really has good eyesight! I can see my strength within a few moves, but it's still too late!"
"What did you say?" The golden sting questioned the man in black.
"Look at what's on your right arm?"
"Oh my God! What is this?" The golden sting hurriedly slapped the worm lying on his right arm, but it was indeed a little late, and the worm had slowly eaten away at his arm, and there was no pain.
"You don't know yet, do you? It's called a painless bug! There is a poison in the body, and it will slowly erode into the person's body until it eats the person's internal organs, hahaha."
"Playing yin with Lao Tzu!"
"Martial arts is originally a competition between light and dark, who said it has to be open? You're so naïve!"
Jin Zhen looked at his own
His arm had begun to corrode, and although the bug was dead, so was the poison, and he raised his sword to cut off his right arm so that the toxin could stop.
"Golden sting, wait!" Zhang Zezhen poked her head out and called out to him.
"What are you doing? Hurry inside!"
Just as the two were talking, the man in black was about to throw out the poisonous needle again, this time, Xiao Tian didn't give him a chance, and while he was holding it, a sword pierced the heart of the man in black and dealt with him.
"Jin Zhen, how are you?"
"The arm should be expensive!"
"Wait!" Zhang Zezhen took out a small medicine bottle from her body, opened the cap, and gently poured it on the wound of the golden sting.
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts! What's this? It hurts me to death!"
"Look at you, a big man, you can't bear this pain!"
"It really hurts!"
"What did you paint him on?" Xiao Tian was also puzzled.
"It's a hundred poisons! Specialized in addressing all kinds of poisoning symptoms."
"Does it work?"
"I don't know! I'm using it for the first time, so I'll see later!"
Xiao Tian: ......
Golden Sting: ......
"Don't look at me like that, what if it helps? Won't your arm be saved?"
"Where did this come from?"
"This was given to me by a miracle doctor when I was in Jinyu Tower, saying that I should use it at a critical time."
In just a few minutes, the wound on the golden sting's arm slowly healed, and the toxin did not continue to spread.
"Huh? It really works!"
"Look, what am I talking about?" Zhang Zezhen didn't know where to take out a handkerchief and bandaged it briefly, "It should be fine."
"Thank you, Miss Zhang, for saving me!"
"Jin Gongzi is polite, it should be me who thank you, if it weren't for the two of you, I guess my life would have been explained here."
"It's not good to stay here, let's go!"
"Hey! I really didn't expect that this Liu Jun would ambush us halfway!"
"Are you too comfortable in the palace? Burying the body halfway down the road will not attract attention."
Xiao Tian's expression gradually became serious, and he said to Jin Zhen, "It seems that we are still careless, I didn't expect that there would be so many masters of the rivers and lakes under Liu Jun's hands."
"It doesn't have to be his men, he should have bribed us to kill us!"
"However, the person who uses this kind of dark arrow, the first time I've seen it, is there a new person in the rivers and lakes? I haven't heard of it!"
"Look, it's lonely, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"There are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who use hidden weapons, but everyone doesn't say it, and even some very well-known swordsmen will learn some hidden weapons to defend themselves. But then again, it's the first time I've seen someone like this who is so good at using hidden weapons."
"I just removed his veil and haven't seen this man. It stands to reason that this kind of martial arts master should at least have heard of it."
"Is there anything on him?"
"Nope!"
"Nothing?" Jin Yu asked again.
"Nope!"
"This Liu Jun is cautious enough! Not a trace of it."
"It seems that there is no room for life."
"Who said he didn't leave any evidence?" Zhang Zezhen, who was inside, poked his head and said.
"What do you mean? You've been sitting in a palanquin, how can you possibly know what he's left behind?" Xiao Tian asked with a look of disgust.
"Look at your intelligence! How did you get to the position of general?"
"You!" Xiao Tian was speechless.
"Senior brother, don't interrupt! Miss Zhang, you say!"
"Didn't he leave a poisonous needle?"
"Huh?" The two said in surprise.
Suddenly, the golden sting came back to his senses and said, "Yes! Miss Zhang is right!"
