The moon is dark and the wind is high, and everything is silent.

County Lord's Mansion.

"County Lord, the medicine is here. ”

The maidservant Hong'er took the medicine and was distressed when she saw the pale county lord on the bed.

It must be Mu Zhixi, that woman provoked it!

Otherwise, how could His Royal Highness the War King bear to hurt the county lord.

Ling Ziyan sat up, her internal organs aching terribly.

Body aches!

Heart, it hurts even more!

The man she loved, in order to protect other women, actually wanted to kill her.

This feeling was like sticking a knife into her heart.

"Hong'er. ”

"The county lord, the slave is here. ”

"What did I ask you to inquire about?"

Hong'er stood respectfully by the bedside and told the truth.

The slave maid inquired, Mu Zhixi had never been to the Western Realm. ”

Although she is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has always been unfavored. ”

It is rumored in the city that she and the four princes made a private lifelong agreement, and on the day of her wedding to His Royal Highness the King of War, she would die in public. ”

After that, the fourth prince married her sister-in-law Mu Wanrou, and she slowly regained her heart. ”

"She is the daughter of a family, but she is useless. ”

"The county lord, the slave maid felt that she was Jin Yuqi who was defeated on the outside, and relied on that face to seduce His Royal Highness the War King. ”

"The county lord is the first beauty in the western realm, both civil and military, a thousand times stronger than Mu Zhixi!"

Listening to Hong'er's words, Ling Ziyan's mood improved slightly.

However, thinking of His Royal Highness's nervous Mu Zhixi, she felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

She is good at everything she does, but she can't fight Mu Zhixi.

Since Mu Zhixi had never been to the Western Realm, how could she know about that ghost mask.

Today, she tried to determine that Mu Zhixi had no internal strength and did not know martial arts.

Could it be that she guessed wrong?

Also, since Your Highness has seen that painting, why didn't you react at all?

Boom!

The door was slammed open.

The handmaid trotted in and shouted loudly.

"County Lord! Oh no! There are assassins!!"

Hong'er immediately looked at Ling Ziyan, "County Lord, the slave protects you!"

In normal times, Ling Ziyan didn't worry about assassins at all.

But today she was seriously injured......

In the courtyard, a group of black-clothed assassins laid out a formation and killed countless guards.

Blood was splattered, and the moonlight was especially bright and cold.

The Ling family is stationed in the western border with the army all the year round, and rarely returns to the imperial city, and the guards in the palace are not enough.

Ling Ziyan had only recently returned, and it was easy for the assassins to take advantage of the loopholes.

Hearing the sound of the sword, Ling Ziyan's eyes were full of war.

"How dare you make trouble in my county lord's mansion!Hong'er, bring me my sword!"

Even if she was wounded, it would be more than enough to deal with a few Assassins.

As soon as Hong'er left, the maidservant girl who came to report the news suddenly raised her eyes, and the fierce light was revealed.

A poison dart suddenly appeared in her hand and slammed directly into Hong'er's shoulder.

"Ahh

Hong'er fell directly to the ground, covering the injured position, and looked at the servant girl with a stunned face.

Ling Ziyan reacted immediately.

It turns out that this handmaid is an assassin impostor!

Ling Ziyan got up and got down and walked quickly to get her sword.

However, the Assassins were very fast.

A palm hit Ling Ziyan's heart.

Poof-

Ling Ziyan spat blood from her mouth and almost couldn't stand.

Immediately afterward, the Assassins attacked again.

She quickly breathes, urges internal forces, and fights back.

Palm to palm, Ling Ziyan's internal force was above the assassin, forcing the assassin to move backwards.

Ling Ziyan's hair was messy, blood was oozing from the corners of her mouth, and her eyes were extremely fierce.

"Dare to kill me, don't ask, who am I Ling Ziyan!"

Boom!

The Assassin was knocked down by her internal force and fell against the wall.

Ling Ziyan quickly took the sword, and with the weapon in hand, her confidence increased greatly.

Before the assassin could get up, Ling Ziyan aimed her sword at her neck.

"Say, who sent you?"

The assassin grinned.

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to it. ”

"If the county lord doesn't kill you, before you recruit the behind-the-scenes instructions, the county lord will use hundreds of methods to torture you. ”

She was only concerned with the assassin in front of her, but she didn't notice that someone would sneak up on her behind.

An assassin wearing a ghost mask struck her in the back with a palm, her pupils dilated, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground.

"County Lord......"

Hong'er, who was poisoned darts, was weak and wanted to ask for help, but the guards outside were too busy to take care of themselves.

She was desperate as she watched the ghost-faced killer walk towards the county lord.

"Don't hurt the county lord......"

Ling Ziyan's eyes drooped slightly, and after seeing the sneak attacker, she suddenly realized.

She sneered.

"Infinity Gate...... It turned out to be you.

"Did you come here from the West......

"You bastards, damn it......

"You want my life, dream!"

She wanted to fight to the death, but she was trampled on the shoulder by the Ghostface Killer and couldn't get up at all.

The man looked at her condescendingly, his eyes through the mask, cold and godless, like the walking dead.

Hong'er's protector was anxious and desperately crawled to Ling Ziyan's side.

"Let go of the county lord...... What are you coming at me......"

Ling Ziyan's eyes were sharp, staring at the assassin above.

"What the hell do you want to do!"

The Ghostface Killer laughed.

"The hands of those who practice martial arts must be very precious. ”

"Don't hide it from the county lord, someone spent a lot of money to buy the county lord's hand. ”

"Which one you keep, choose for yourself. ”

Ling Ziyan's heart trembled.

Asking her for a hand is more painful than killing her!

Without hands, how can she lead troops to fight.

Without hands, does she still have a face?

Without hands, His Highness won't like her even more......

"Don't! Have the ability to kill me! The county lord would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile!"

"County Lord, it's important to save your life!" Hong'er burst into tears.

Ling Ziyan gritted her teeth and glanced at her hands.

She'd rather die!

The ghost-faced killer crouched down, dagger in hand, and slashed lightly across her face.

"Don't be afraid, the county lord, I have changed my mind. ”

The dagger was extremely sharp, reflecting Ling Ziyan's face, gradually distorting.

She roared: "It's not enough to kill people, you have the ability to kill me!"

The clouds gradually converged, blocking out the moonlight.

In the silence of the night, a terrible scream sounded.

The cry echoed over the county lord's mansion, making people shudder.

The ghost figure dispersed, leaving behind corpses everywhere and the smell of blood that could not be dissipated for a long time.

Hong'er tried her best to climb out of the room.

She leaned on the threshold, crying for help.

"Who's coming...... Help us.

"Is there anyone to save the county lord......"

After a while, he heard a sound and cautiously pushed the door in.

The house is quiet, and there is a strange smell.

He slowed down, a chill behind him.

When he walked into the inner courtyard, when he saw the situation inside, he was so frightened that he couldn't stop screaming.

"Ahhh

Corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.

It's scary!

War King's Mansion.

Early in the morning, Xiao Jingyi came to visit in a hurry.

"Fifth Emperor Brother, something happened to Ling Ziyan!"

Xiao Yiyan was helping Mu Zhixi with her thrush, but she was affected by Xiao Jingyi, her hand shook, and her eyebrows directly branched out.
