Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 452
Chapter 452 Manyu Silver Needle
The sky slowly darkened. There were no stars in the night sky today, let alone moonlight. It was pitch black. In addition to the cold wind, it made one’s scalp feel numb.
Yun Xiao and the others finally arrived at the south gate just as the city gate was about to close.
With Zhou Jingxu in the carriage, it was easy for Yun Xiao and the others to leave the city gate.
There was no interrogation. He only revealed Zhou Jingxu’s identity and easily left the city gate. One mile away from the city gate, he saw a carriage ahead. Yun Xiao was able to recognize that the carriage was the carriage Yun Xiao had been riding before. Later, Qing Liu pulled Chun Mei and Chun Lan away.
Seeing the carriage, Yun Xiao had some expectations in her eyes, and her heart was even more faintly filled with anticipation. Since the carriage was here, did she say that Chun Mei and Chun Lan were both here?
Yun Xiao wanted to get off the carriage to take a look, but Rong Ruo grabbed her by the hand. She said to Qing Mo vigilantly, “You go take a look first. I always feel that the carriage in front of me smells of blood.”
Qing Mo did not dare to hesitate. He immediately jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the carriage in front of him. He carefully walked to the carriage. Just as he was about to pull out his sword, he saw a person get off the carriage. Qing Liu had already got off the carriage and said softly, “You guys are here.”
When Qing Mo saw that it was Qing Liu, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Are you all alright?”
“Something’s wrong, leave quickly!” Qing Liu winked at Qing Mo. The two of them were siblings. The tacit understanding between the siblings allowed Qing Mo to know that what Rong Ruo had just said was true. He immediately pulled out the sword in his hand and said to the carriage behind him, “Protect Madam!”
Before Qing Mo could finish speaking, two black-clothed men rushed over from the carriage and killed Qing Mo. Two black-clothed men even rushed over to the carriage behind Qing Mo.
When Qing Mo saw this, he was anxious. He retreated while fighting. However, he suddenly saw that Qing Liu, who was still talking to her, had already fallen to the ground. His expression changed drastically.
Qing Mo tried his best to calm himself down and did not look at Qing Liu. He wanted to go to the carriage to rescue him. Just as he took two steps back, he heard a voice from the carriage saying, “Be careful with the two of them. There’s no need to worry about the people in the carriage.”
As this voice fell, Qing Mo saw the two people who were originally sitting on the carriage seat immediately jump off the carriage, holding a sharp longsword in his hand and catching the two black-clothed men who were flying away one after the other.
When Qing Mo saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief. Without any burden, he calmed down. His cold eyebrows looked at the two people in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and he no longer mercilessly attacked them. He began to kill them together with them.
Inside the carriage, Yun Xiao listened to the sounds of fighting coming from outside. Her expression was cold and her heart was in a state of turmoil, but there was no change.
Zhou Jingxu held the jade in his hand and set up a small formation at the corner of the carriage. With this formation, even if the black-clothed man could break through the obstacles outside, he would not be able to enter the carriage.
After setting up the formation, Zhou Jingxu turned to look at Yun Xiao and said, “How much did you read the formation book I gave you earlier?”
Yun Xiao calmed down and then said, “It seems that I have finished reading it. It’s just that there are some places that haven’t been thoroughly studied.”
Seeing Yun Xiao’s words, Zhou Jingxu took out another book from behind him and handed it to Yun Xiao. He whispered, “This is also a book of formations. However, I have commented on it, so it should be easier for you.”
After discussing formations with Yun Xiao last time, he began to work on this book. However, copying a book was very easy. It was indeed much more difficult to annotate the entire book.
It took him a few days to annotate the whole book.
Yun Xiao was very grateful to Zhou Jingxu for his actions. He must have crippled a lot of his heartforce and brought over the formation book. Yun Xiao opened the first page and saw the detailed notes inside. His heartforce was even more touched by this. “Thank you.”
“En, in this way, won’t you owe me two meals after you return?” Zhou Jingxu pretended to be relaxed and said, “This book is for you. Keep it well.”
Yun Xiao graciously thought of what Zhou Jingxu had said before. A thank you was a debt of gratitude, so she smiled and said, “Alright, when I come back, I’ll help you cook.”
Rong Ruo saw that the two of them were talking happily, and her mother’s eyes were full of light. She immediately said unwillingly, “Mother, would you also help Ruo Ruo cook food?”
Yun Xiao laughed, rubbed Rong Ruo’s hair, and said softly, “Of course.”
Hearing that, Rong Ruo smiled at Zhou Jingxu, her jade-like eyes filled with dense provocation.
Zhou Jingxu saw that Rong Ruo looked at him with vigilance and precaution in her eyes. His desire for possession of Yun Xiao made him feel a little uncomfortable. However, when he thought about how much time he and Yun Xiao had in their previous lives, why would he want to choke with a child?
He chuckled and was just about to speak when he heard a loud sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
The horses’ hooves fluttered, and their voices didn’t stop.
The sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer to where they were, causing the few people in the carriage to frown involuntarily.
Rong Ruo immediately opened the carriage curtain and looked outside. She saw more than a dozen black-clothed men galloping over on horseback. When she saw the black-clothed man, Rong Ruo frowned and whispered, “Mother, some unknown people came.”
Just as Rong Ruo’s words fell, a long arrow flew towards Rong Ruo’s head.
When Rong Ruo saw this, a wisp of anger flashed across her tiny little face with a trace of baby fat. She snorted coldly, looked at the arrow, and immediately retracted her face.
Yun Xiao also saw the danger just now. Her heart was even more frightened. She hurriedly reached out to grab Rong Ruo. She had already retracted her head. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, you’re fine.”
“Mother, don’t worry. I’m fine. However, something will happen to those people soon.” Rong Ruoyu’s jade-like eyes flashed with a wisp of ghostly light. That ghostly light was like a wolf in the middle of the night, and her expression was slightly strange.
Yun Xiao was shocked. She wanted to pull Rong Ruo back, but she saw that Rong Ruo had already taken out the little golden crossbow that he had been carrying.
Little Hand didn’t know what he had done on the crossbow. There was a gap in the arrow. Rong Ruo had already taken out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom. Then, she took out some silver needles from her body and broke them into small pieces. After soaking them in the porcelain bottle, she put them into the arrow and poured all the remaining medicine into the bottle.
Seeing that Rong Ruo was serious, Yun Xiao could only swallow all the questions in her heart.
When Rong Ruo stopped and finished, she couldn’t hold back any longer and asked curiously, “What are you doing?”
“Mother will know soon,” Rong Ruo smiled softly at Yun Xiao before getting out of the carriage again.
When Yun Xiao saw this, she was shocked. She was close to Rong Ruo. She was afraid that there would be any danger. She could also pull Rong Ruo back immediately. “Ruo Ruo, be careful.”
“Mother, don’t worry. If Father isn’t here, then let Ruo Ruo protect Mother.” Rong Ruo smiled playfully and got out of the carriage.
He had just revealed his head when he heard the black-clothed man shoot out another arrow.
The sharp sound of air-piercing shot straight towards Rong Ruo with an overwhelming momentum.
He snorted coldly, A strange smile flashed across Rong Ruo’s lips. Then, he took out his small crossbow and fired an arrow at the incoming arrow. After that, he fired another arrow. This time, the arrow used the arrow he had made earlier. Seeing the arrow rushing in the opposite direction, Rong Ruo’s eyes became a little more cunning.
The first golden arrow that Rong Ruo shot out, Very quickly, he arrived at the sharp arrow that was fired from the other side. The two arrows collided, All of them had a tendency to break through the bamboo shoots, The opponent’s sword was not as good as Rong Ruo’s golden arrow. As a result, half of the other party’s arrows were broken when the two compartments collided. However, when they were shot out earlier, they used a lot of strength. Although half of the arrows were broken, they still flew forward. However, they deviated from the direction. As for the little golden arrow that Rong Ruo shot out, it was slightly deviated because of the collision. After flying for a period of time, it landed.
As for the second arrow that Rong Ruo shot out, because it didn’t have the previous arrow to block it, it flew towards the black-clothed men with an overwhelming momentum. The black-clothed men were already galloping over on their fast horses, but they lagged behind the long arrows they shot. In this pause, Rong Ruo’s little golden arrow was right in front of her eyes.
The black-clothed man frowned. The black-clothed man immediately picked up his horse’s bow, then quickly drew the bow and shot towards Rong Ruo’s small arrow.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the two sharp arrows. The two arrows collided with each other. The arrow touched the arrow. The small arrow that Rong Ruo shot out collided with one of the long arrows. Suddenly, it cracked. Countless silver needles jumped out of the arrow. Accompanying the silver needles, there was also a strange smell.
None of the black-clothed men had expected that, This little golden arrow actually concealed the universe, Of course, this was also because Rong Ruo’s first arrow had confused them. Thus, when they saw so many things rashly coming out of this small golden arrow, all they could think of was to immediately stop the silver needles. They picked up their swords and brandished them, forming a protective circle in front of them. However, there were still a few silver needles stabbing into their bodies.
The black-clothed man originally didn’t take it to heart, but after he felt the silver needle enter his body, the strength in his body seemed to be hollowed out by someone. It was slowly dissipating. Everyone’s voice was stuck in their throats, as if they had been choked by someone.
