in the mountains. Due to the drought and lack of water, the mushrooms in the mountains grew poorly nourished and were scarce.However, the taste was still acceptable. She made a mushroom soup once, whi...Then he felt a few icy sensations on his back. When the silver needles pierced his meridians, there was a slight pain, but the moment the blocked meridians were opened, it was very painful.

Zhao Xingzhou frowned slightly and let out a low grumble.

"It's a little painful, bear with it."

Fang Jinshu subconsciously coaxed him, Zhao Xingzhou was pleasantly surprised, his eyebrows relaxed immediately, and his heart was indescribably happy.

"Not at all, not a bit."

Hearing his silly tone, Fang Jinshu couldn't help but sigh again inwardly.

Among thousands of women in the world, why would he do this

After learning about what Zhao Xingzhou had done for her, she wasn't truly made of stone. To say she was unmoved was a lie.

He wanted something she truly couldn't give him.

"Okay."

After the meridians were cleared, Zhao Xingzhou felt much more relaxed throughout his body. He stood up and stretched his limbs.

"It seems to be a lot better now."

He clenched his fist, and internal energy instantly surged throughout his body, indeed much smoother than before.

Zhao Xingzhou dressed himself and stood up, turning back to look at Fang Jinshi.

"You go back to the cellar first, don't worry about what's outside, I'll take care of them."

Fāng Jǐnxiù nodded slightly. She wasn't good at fighting, so she wouldn't stay to cause more trouble.

For half a day, several assassins struggled in the trap, and one couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, first time I've met someone this cunning."

"They're like they knew we were coming tonight and purposely brought out these disgusting things."

These traps may seem simple, but if you don't handle them carefully, they could really cost you your life.

One person, regardless of being wounded by the blades in the trap, forcefully lifted it and destroyed the trap.

"Hurry up and find the target, we can't handle several women and children, if we go back, we are all dead!"

The guards at Jinshiu Mountain Villa are not many, we've already killed most of them, but so far we haven't even seen a shadow of our target. I guess they must have hidden beforehand.

Someone hurriedly asked, “We won’t have fallen for their trap, will we In fact, the person isn’t even here, is there”

The lead assassin shook his head. "No, the information given by Lord Chancellor wouldn't be wrong."

"People must still be in the chalet, they're just hiding."

"Find!"

"Yes."

After speaking, several people quickly dispersed to search for Fang Jinshu and others. Zhao Xingzhou was also looking for them.

He met two assassins in Fang Jinxiu's courtyard. This time, he was finally able to exert 70% of his strength. The pills Fang Jinxiu gave him were magical. After taking them, not only did the blood from his wounds stop quickly, but his body also gained a strange kind of energy.

It restored much of his energy back to his depleted body.

With meridians unblocked and internal energy restored, even facing two assassins at once wouldn't be so difficult.

"Two."

Looking at the two corpses of assassins on the ground, he wiped the blood from his mouth and silently thought to himself that there were still three more.

There are five assassins in total. As long as we eliminate them all, everyone will be safe.

He went to look elsewhere, and then used a trap to take care of another one, leaving two remaining.

It was deep into the night, but Jinxiu Villa was shrouded in an eerie black mist. A faint smell of blood lingered within the fog.

Zongyu suddenly reined in his horse and stopped, Zhao Yun finally catching up.

"Brother Yu, are you here"

Zongyu frowned slightly, “Did you smell that”

Zhao Yun was at a loss.

"What do you smell"

"The smell of blood."

Zong Yu smelled Zhao Yun's perfume and said, "Well, it really does smell nice!"

"This isn't the suburbs of Beijing, is it How could there be a smell of blood"

"This blood smells like human blood!"

The taste of human blood was too familiar to them. They had been fighting alongside this stench for so long on the battlefield, they could easily distinguish between human and animal blood.

"Who would be so bold as to murder in the suburbs of Beijing"

Zong Yu's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, she couldn't tell why she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Drive!"

"Hurry up."

He spurred his horse to speed toward Jinshu Mountain Villa, it should be nearby.

Only two assassins remained in the manor, and they were both feeling uneasy. They had thought it would be a simple task to eliminate a few unarmed women and children, but things had turned out far more complicated than expected!

It's even more tiring and dangerous than fighting a master.

"Big bro, maybe we should pull out. We haven't found those girls yet, and if we keep this up, we're all gonna get caught."

The leading assassin snarled, “Even if we go back to our master now, he won't let us off.”

Don't worry, we still have the last trump card.of taels wouldn't be difficult."The value of rare medicinal herbs has no fixed price; the rarer they are, the more expensive they become. Aristocratic families love to buy these things. The wealthier...
