    Is he that powerful? I’m going to meet him!

    The words were swallowed back before exiting, Zhu Helin pulled Su Yan to turn behind the corridor pillars, and ordered Wei Commander, “Concentrate all the guards, don’t fight alone, so as not to fall prey to the thieves’ sorcery. Also send a few guards with good lightness and riding skills to break out, take my token and go to the nearest red store of the capital guards to transfer a crossbow team and a firearms team over.”

    Su Yan saw that the Crown Prince was well-informed and well-dispatched, and that he had grown a lot in just a few months, and felt (old-father-like) gratified, adding, “Before I came here, I also had someone notify Shen Qi, and I’m sure that the Brocade Guards will soon arrive.”

    Zhu Helin skimmed his lips, “What’s the point of informing Shen Qi, Little Master can handle it himself.”

    As if the prince’s maturity was short-lived, Su Yan felt (old fatherly) worry again, grabbed his arm and said, “What a gamble to say. In the face of a great enemy, the more reinforcements the better, naturally.”

    Zhu Helin was unhappy, but he didn’t refute Su Yan’s words.

    After Commander Wei finished passing on the Crown Prince’s instructions, he turned back and said, “Those Blood Pupil assassins are as ferocious as beasts, and this place is too dangerous, so why don’t I order my men to escort His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Su out first, and the rest of them will cover the rear of the temple?”

    Suyan turned his head to peek out of the porch column and said, “It’s too late.”

    The red-robed man lightly swept down the wall and approached step by step in the pouring rain. When the rain came down, it was as if it was blocked by an invisible barrier, and it couldn’t even dampen the robes on his body.

    Su Yan and Jing Hong chased together for a long time, learn by ear also understand a little martial arts theory, know that this is caused by the release of true qi, which also indicates that the other party’s internal strength is thick, and manipulation into the subtle.

    The closer the red-robed man approached, the more prevalent the true qi in his body was, martial arts practitioners such as Wei Commander had their whole body tense up due to sensing the suppression of the realm, while ordinary people like Su Yan had a sense of oppression and suffocation like being in deep water.

    “Take down the murderer and protect the Crown Prince!” Commander Wei bellowed, leading the guards to charge towards the red-robed man.

    The red-robed man waved his robe sleeve almost carelessly, and the driven true qi sent the besieging guards flying out. He seemed to have completely disregarded these guards, and step by step, he approached the two people behind the corridor pillar.

    Zhu Helin picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground earlier, protected Su Yan behind him, and said sternly, “The Seven Slaughter Battalion and the Vacuum Cult are working together, committing the offense of assassinating the king and poisoning the people, and they will be put to death by the law of the land!”

    The red-robed man stopped in his tracks, his vision behind the mask staring at him as he spoke, “The Crown Prince is too courageous to fight.”

    Zhu Hailin shook the tip of his sword and was about to attack the other party, but was tugged by Su Yan’s arm in death. “Don’t go to your death, think of ways to stall for some time.” Su Yan said to him with an ear attached.

    The red-robed man seemed to have heard their secret words, “Waiting for reinforcements? Unfortunately, your corpses will be cold by the time the reinforcements arrive.”

    He slowly drew out a pair of hideous soul-breaking hooks from the back of his waist and held them in his hands. A chilling, bone-chilling murderous aura filled the air, and Zhu Helin’s face made a change as he pushed Su Yanmeng aside and droned to the Yu Wangfu’s guards, “Take him away!”

    The guards came around to pull Su Yan, Su Yan hugged the pillar and didn’t let go of his hand, a look of wanting to live and die with the crown prince, looking at Zhu Hailin and touched and heartbroken.

    The leader urgently advised, “Lord Su, you can’t help much by staying here, so why don’t you get out of danger earlier, and also let the young master have no worries.”

    Su Yan shook his head desperately, “The guards are weak, we can’t divide our forces anymore, you guys first protect the little master. If the young master is fine, we can get out of danger, if the young master is in trouble, none of us can escape death!”

    “Tonight none of you can escape, all of you will be buried here, why do you need to prioritize?” Blades of light slashed, blood splattered, and the camp master shook off each of the valiant guards, stepping over the corpses on the ground as he approached.

    The guards who were escorting the driver were either entangled by the frantically attacking Blood Pupil Assassins or killed in a few moves at the hands of the Battalion Master, and their numbers were dwindling.

    Zhu Hailin couldn’t bear it and swung his sword to meet the attack, but only managed to resist for a dozen rounds before the blade was locked by the opponent’s left hook.

    Seeing the right hook slashing at his chest, Zhu Hailin closed his eyes in despair.

    A cold light shot from a distance, even swifter and more brilliant than the lightning that cut through the night sky, and with unrivaled precision and strength, it struck the camp master’s hook blade, almost causing it to fly out of his hand.

    The double hooks were shaken away by this meteor-like arrow, and Zhu Hailin escaped from death, immediately drawing back his sword blade and retreating back.

    The battalion master’s tiger’s mouth was numb, knowing that this was a formidable enemy, but he couldn’t think of any other expert lurking in the capital city who could have this kind of power. He looked in the direction of the arrows and saw a tall man standing on the eaves of a house in the rain curtain, dressed in a basilica-colored trailing sandals.

    “…… King Yu.” The camp master’s brow hidden beneath his mask couldn’t help but frown.

    King Yu’s military background, martial arts over the people, this point he had heard the floating sound report. But did not expect is that this “overman”, is really over a little too much, I do not know is the floating sound before looking away from the eyes underestimated, or the king of Yu intention to hide the front is not revealed.

    King Yu saw the other party turn his head to look at himself, and seemed to be able to feel the surprise through his mask, gave a kind smile, dropped the hard bow in his hand, and called out, “Long lance!”

    The guards next to him immediately threw their horse lances over.

    King Yu’s toes picked up the body of the lance in his hands, and the tip of the lance pointed remotely at the camp master, making an inviting gesture.

    The battalion master crossed his twin hooks across his chest as if he was on the verge of an attack, and his true qi was so thick around him that it almost condensed into substance.

    King Yu’s feet stomped on the eaves, and the man and the lance merged into one, like a black waterfall reeling down from the sky, encroaching towards him.

    Gao Shuo held the unconscious Hua Kui in his arms and galloped his horse through the rainy night.

    On Su Yan’s orders, he took two Jinyiwei spies and infiltrated Marquis Xian’an’s mansion to look for Ruan Hongjiao’s whereabouts, and felt his way to the compartment where Mr. Crane was staying.

    Out of the scout’s caution, he did not immediately break down the door, but first hid on the roof, hollowed out a crack between the tiles, and peered down.

    Just happened to see Ruan Hong Banana wrapped around Mr. Crane’s neck, charmingly begged for a scene, could not help but slander: listening to Lord Su said urgently, what life is in danger, thought the situation is how urgent, but it turns out here cheating.

    One of the scouts made a gesture and asked: go down, take the man hostage and leave?

    Gao Shuo returned with a hand signal: the situation is not yet clear, let’s wait and see.

    The three continue to watch, but unexpectedly the situation in the house has changed, the man behaves gently but hidden murder, the woman is willing to meet even to die.

    Gosaku screamed, “No good!

    Immediately, he crashed through the roof and sliced that poisonous snake in two. Unfortunately, the snake was no better than any other beast, and with its severed head was still able to continue its attack, biting Ruan Hongjiao in the face.

    Human life was important, and without thinking, Gao Shuo chipped away at the piece of flesh that had been bitten by the poisonous snake, hoping to stop the snake’s venom from spreading further.

    The other two brocade guards tangled with Mr. Crane.

    Mr. Crane looked young, but he was equipped with superior internal martial arts, and Gao Shuo originally thought that it would be a fight to the death. As he fought, he realized something odd–

    It turns out that this Mr. Crane has a body of internal energy, the realm of superb, but do not know how to move.

    Although several Jin Yiwei scouts do not have a high level of internal strength, but is the tip of the knife licking blood connoisseur, a move is in the life and death situation to sharpen out.

    One side relied on internal strength, one side relied on moves, but also fought for a short period of time can not be divided into winners and losers.

    The sound of the fight startled the guards of the Marquis, Gao Shuo saw Ruan Hongjiao unconscious, worried that she could not bear the blood loss and snake venom, busy greeted the two companions to guard the back, and led himself to protrude out of the encirclement.

    When he rescued Ruan Hongjiao, Gao Shuo saw that even though she was unconscious, she was still clutching a box, so he guessed that it was important and took it with him.

    With his pursuers far behind him, and the blood of the woman in his arms staining half his bodice red, Gosaku now realized–

    He chipped a piece of skin on the human girl’s face, and in all likelihood, he disfigured the national flower girl!

    As he galloped his horse, he looked down at his face, which was smeared with blood on his chest, and couldn’t say whether it was regret, remorse, or apology in his heart, and was very guilty of cooking a crane and burning a piano.

    “Ruan …… girl?” Gao Shuo called out a few times with no response, and frowned as he felt the pulse on the side of her neck with another free hand.

    The pulse is weak, and if the blood loss continues like this, I’m afraid that the person will die before he reaches the Su Mansion.

    -This can not be, Lord Su’s order is to bring people back safely, he must hurry to find a doctor first.

    Gao Shuo remembered the surgeon Chen Shiyu who often came to treat Lord Shen’s injuries, so he turned his horse around and headed towards Doctor Chen’s medical lodge.

    It just so happened that yesterday’s autopsy of the wrong doctor Chen in order to avoid his own wife’s criticism, on the pretext of late night rain can not return home, in the medical lodge to hide clean. When Gao Shuo knocked on the door, Chen Shiyu had just gone to bed, and when he saw that Ruan Hongjiao was seriously injured, he hastened to stop her bleeding.

    “What a beautiful girl, a pity ……” Chen Shiyu lamented.

    Gao Shuo grew more and more guilty, and mumbled, “She was bitten on the face by a poisonous snake, and I had no choice but to do so.”

    “Viper? What snake, why didn’t you say so earlier!” Chen Shiyu glared, “You can’t kill her with this knife, snake venom kills!”

    Gao Shuo only remembered that it was a snake with a white ring on a red background, but couldn’t tell what kind of snake it was. In a hurry, he ventured back to the marquis’ mansion to retrieve the snake’s corpse, which had been broken in two. The two Jinyiwei scouts had long since gotten away, but he took a cold arrow from the guards for the snake’s corpse.

    He returned to the medical lodge with the arrow stuck in his back. Chen Shiyu said with a headache, “One injury has turned into two …… Lie there, lie there and don t move, the old man has no time to deal with your arrow injury at this moment.”

    Gao Shuo realized that he hadn’t hurt the vitals, and it wouldn’t hurt to stick the arrow in for a while, the pain could be tolerated. So he said, “I’m not in a hurry, Doctor, you hold her tight first.”

    Chen Shiyu finished checking the snake’s body, said: “This is a man-made cultivated variant of the silver ring, the toxicity is even more than the original species. Fortunately, before this snake bites, it has been taken twice for venom, and there is not much venom left in the body’s venom capsule, and you have struck in time, otherwise I really can’t save this girl.”

    Gao Shuo was greatly relieved and said repeatedly, “That’s good that’s good, it’s good to be alive.”

    Chen Shiyu dispensed a pair of antidote pills and fed them to the unconscious Ruan Hongjiao.

    Gosaku lay on his back in the next hospital bed, looking at the side of her face, which was almost bandaged into a white dumpling, and watched in fascination.

    “Is there a problem with the old man’s bandaging technique?” Chen Shiyu asked.

    Gao Shuo nodded his head soulfully, then suddenly realized and shook his head hastily, “Of course not. I’m just a bit emotional, a woman from a greenhouse, in addition to her resourcefulness, she actually has this kind of backbone and courage, which really puts those soft-boned men under the sky to shame.”

    Chen Shiyu stroked his beard and laughed: “Mo light dust, since ancient times there is no lack of chivalrous prostitutes, red whisky, Li Wa’s stream are such as. Liang Hongyu can even armored marshal, really is a woman.”

    Gao Shuo nodded thoughtfully, “A woman who is even more beautiful will always have a day when she grows old, but her mind and style are the luster of a lifetime.”

    “That’s the reasoning.” Chen Shiyu said, “Look at Humble Bauhinia, what kind of appearance is there to speak of? But the old man and his life, precisely because always remember the first time we met, she spared her own wind and cold has not yet healed, but also to go down to the river to save the dolls in the water, that the courage and righteousness of the gas, still glittering.”

    Gao Shuo stopped talking and continued to look at Ruan Hongjiao’s unconscious face. In the past, listening to Ruan Hongjiao singing, think she was born beautiful, beautiful voice, but there are many beautiful girls, then looked at the pleasing to the eye, but also quite a cloud and rain some of the thoughts, turn back but do not see how much to miss. Now this kind of wretched appearance, how to call more people on the contrary?

    Gao Shuo didn’t think about it, so he thought hard, not even bothering to say a word when Chen Shiyu dug the arrowhead out of his back.

    Chen Shiyu flirted, “Another bowl of mandala soup saved for old man. A few more of these patients and the cost of the Medical Lodge can be lowered by a few more points.”

    A little embarrassed, Takasaku asked, “Who else was there before?”

    His Highness King Yu. The old man gave him seventy-two stitches, he didn’t drink a mouthful of anesthetic soup, and he was still able to laugh while stitching and looking at Lord Su, who was sitting next to him.

    Chen Shiyu replied, “The patient’s private information, forgive me for not being able to disclose it.”

    Gao Shuo was just asking casually. He was more concerned about when Ruan Hongjiao would wake up.

    Chen Shiyu said, “The blood has stopped, the remaining poison has been cleared almost, I guess I will wake up after sleeping for four or five hours. However, I’m afraid that this face will not be able to recover as before, the skin and flesh that was cut even if it grows back, it will still be uneven polyps and scars.”

    Gao Shuo was silent for a long time and said, “I’m afraid that there will be no place for her in the green house in the future. Where should she go …… I still hope that the doctor will try his best to save her appearance.”

    Chen Shiyu sighed, “Do your best and listen to God.”
