ai said with red eyes, "Mother, I've already said that I give up taking the imperial examinations. I will never let you and elder brother suffer because of this again."From now on, you don't have to s...One of the assassins had fought with Fang Jinshu and his group before, but he was an outside hire and hadn't entered Jinshu Mountain Villa without orders from the higher-ups.

His several brothers all died inside, this score finally has a chance to be settled with this couple!

"You guys hold onto this Zhao fellow, I'll take two people inside the house."

When Zhao Yun saw these people trying to break into the house, he immediately shouted in alarm.

"You bunch of turtles, you think you have the guts to take down grandpa You're scared, aren't you!"

With a clang, the assassin's sword came slashing down. He parried with his own blade, flipping backward to land safely, forced to retreat by these attackers.

There were too many people, four or five were fighting him at the same time. He used all his skills to hold them off, but he was overwhelmed by the others.

Zhao Yun shouted and stood up, desperately trying to break through the crowd and stop the few people who were heading towards the small hut.

Several men in black immediately surrounded them, like shadows that wouldn't go away. Unless they could kill them, there was no way to escape their clutches.

These few people were incredibly skilled in martial arts. He found it difficult to cope with them, let alone kill them.

No, if this continues he'll probably die from exhaustion under these swords.

I only hope that Young Master Xiaozong can bring the reinforcements as soon as possible.

Inside, Fang Jinshi heard the footsteps outside. She stood before Zong Yu and gripped the crossbow in her hand.

This time it wasn't a crossbow, she pulled out a super weapon from space, its power could kill beasts with ease.

These men in black weren't stupid, they didn't enter through the front door directly. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the roof split open, revealing a large hole. Two men in black leaped down with incredible speed.

Fang Jinxiu's reaction wasn't slow either. She directly turned her crossbow upwards and fired three arrows in a row.

She heard a muffled grunt, one of the men in black was hit by an arrow and dragged to the side by his companion. Fang Jinshu smiled slightly.

Yuan Buyu sent people with incredible martial arts skills. It must have been difficult to cultivate so many masters. He really spared no expense to kill the couple.

"This damn bitch, she smeared poison on her shoulder!"

"Despicable! Shameless!"

Though the archer's comrades failed to hit their target, when they dragged him outside, they discovered that blood was flowing from his mouth - he had died.

The man in black who had a grudge against Fang Jinshu gritted his teeth, reminding the other companion.

This woman is cunning and treacherous, with many strange powders in her possession. Last time, A-Qi and the others fell victim to her tricks just like this.

At that time, he hadn't received an order and could only watch from outside. He was the only one who saw with his own eyes how this family had killed his several brothers.

Truly treacherous to the extreme!

"Be careful later, use stealth weapons as much as possible and don't get close to her."

The two lowered the body of their accomplice and approached again. Fang Jinshu raised the crossbow in her hands. It was effective, but it was too tiring to use and rather clumsy.

Two men in black seemed to have noticed this, making noise from different directions. Fang Jinshu shot numerous arrows towards both directions.

Her space was overflowing; she wasn't afraid of waste at all.

But her arms probably couldn't support several more shots like that. She realized she was being deceived. If these two people kept playing a game of cat and mouse, she wouldn't have the strength left in a short while.

She quickly put down the crossbow and used her sleeve arrows. Sleeve arrows were a little faster, but they didn't have as much killing power.

The black-clad men, seeing that she had changed her weapon, thought she was out of arrows and charged in. Her sleeve arrow shot went flying but they blocked it all.

"Fang Jinxiu, today is your death day!"

The man in black drew his weapon and aimed it at Fang Jinshi, but the next second she vanished from her spot. The two assassins stared in astonishment.

"Where is the person Where are the people"

"Never mind, getting rid of the target is all that matters!"

The black-cloaked man wielding the sword was about to stab Zongyu on the bed, when Fang Jinshu, who had suddenly disappeared, reappeared. With a flick of her sleeve, she sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder.

At such close proximity, the two people had no time to dodge.

By the time I realized what was happening, I had inhaled quite a bit. My body immediately went numb, and the blockage in my meridians prevented me from exerting any strength.

"You, you did something to us."

The two of them hurriedly retreated, but the speed at which their bodies lost control far exceeded their imagination. During their retreat, their legs went weak, and they both tripped and fell to the ground.

The brain was still alert, but the body was as limp and helpless as that of a drunkard.

"You've been hit by my softening powder. Now, don't even think about drawing your swords against us. You can barely even stand."

"I can give you a way out, as long as you tell me who sent you."

She hadn't finished speaking when the black-clad man let out a cold snort.

Never!

Their mission was a failure, and returning would mean certain death. But if they betrayed their master, their own families might not be spared either.

The two wanted to swallow the poison sacs and commit suicide. Fang Jinshi had already been tricked by this once, so she stepped forward and kicked them both over, taking the poison sacs hidden in their teeth.

Even if I wanted to die, I'd have to see if you agree.

She was not good at interrogations, so she knocked the two of them unconscious and then let General Xiao Zhao take over.

I wonder if all the commotion just now scared Ah-yu.

Fāng Jǐnxiù hurried back to the bedside and saw Zōng Yù's expression was as calm as usual. She let out a sigh of relief.

This little house has been trashed by those two men in black. The doors and windows are broken, and there's a huge hole in the roof.

She saw Zhao Yun fighting several men in black outside through the broken windows and doors. Seeing that he was struggling, she set up her large crossbow again.

Thinking of it as a machine gun, she didn't believe that the skills of these ancients could surpass the speed of an arrow crossbow, which was comparable to bullets.

The problem is her archery skills need improvement. Luckily, there are plenty of targets, so she just needs to watch out for General Xiao Zhao and can shoot at the others randomly.

Zhao Yun saw his opponent hit by arrows from afar and fall to the ground, still a little puzzled. Could it be that Master Xiaozong's reinforcements had arrived

But he had never heard of the city defense camp being equipped with crossbows, and the arrows fired from these were far more powerful than those made by the skilled craftsmen in the Great Xi army.

The arrows pierced right through people, that must have taken incredible strength.

Zhao Yun was happy for only a few seconds before Fang Jinxiu's second arrow flew off course, almost hitting him. Startled, he finally realized that these arrows were not fired by rescuers at all.

How can the archery skills of the brothers at the city defense camp be so poor.

After two of the black-clad men were eliminated, Zhao Yun's pressure lessened considerably. With only a few remaining, he finally seized an opportunity to kill two more. In the end, due to exhaustion, he allowed the last one to escape.

He hesitated whether to chase after her, but then he heard Fang Jinshi's voice calling his name.

Zhao Yun turned his head and ran back to the small house.

"Sister-in-law, one ran away, he probably went back to report."

"What should we do Should we immediately transfer the general"

These people are highly skilled, not someone ordinary could control them. Moreover, their every move is ruthless, aimed directly at our lives. I'm afraid they will come back with a vengeance.

Fang Jinxiu shook her head.

"No, we can't leave."e were really that capable, why are her and her husband still dressed like that"Li Yuanchun frowned, "Father, don't judge a book by its cover."Old Li stood up angrily, "Forget it, I can't get through...
