Chapter 93 A Mass of Killers (Part 1)
It was her mother who took the initiative to approach Duke Huguo's mansion back then? Or did the Duke Protector's House take the initiative to find her mother?
Judging from the Queen of Nanchu's plan to kill her, her mother is likely to be Princess Zhenmin. If her mother took the initiative to find the Duke Huguo's mansion, then the Duke Huguo's mansion would think of her mother's contribution to saving Daliang. It would be difficult to refuse, right? If the Huguogongfu took the initiative to find her mother, this is almost non-existent. Since her mother is anonymous, even the queen mother and the emperor don't know where she is.
So, the marriage contract between her and Zhou Gu should have been begged by her mother.
She could think that her mother probably knew that her life was not long, and in case her identity would be exposed in the future, she found a shelter for her, which was the Duke Protector's Mansion.
But her mother must have never expected that His Majesty will be so powerful in his later years that even his own son, the Crown Prince, would be afraid, let alone the prestigious Protectorate? Especially with Zhou Gu, Duke Huguo's Mansion is tied to the same boat as the East Palace. Even though the Huguo Duke's Mansion did not help the prince with private matters except for Zhou Gu himself, it did not prevent the emperor from thinking this way.
She is a big trouble, she has been assassinated frequently since she was a child, and now the Queen of Nanchu is even trying to use the Queen of Liang to kill her. And since she knew who was going to kill her, she naturally wouldn't just sit around and wait for death.
Then, can she still marry Zhou Gu without burden? Let her be such a big trouble to disrupt his smooth road to Qingyun?
Su Rong has always felt that she is not a good person. She has all the bad roots in people. At present, she has learned that the person who has been trying to kill her is the Queen of Nanchu. If she takes the most beneficial path, she will marry Zhou Gu, then accept the protection of the prince, and use the East Palace and Duke Huguo to fight against Queen Nanchu and her natal Nangong family behind her.
But in this way, whether it is the East Palace or the Duke Protector's Mansion, it will be more difficult because of her troubles, right?
Zhou Gu is so nice, how could she be willing to destroy his beauty? Let her stir into her **** storm?
She wished him well, and wished him well. Since she was in a glorious life, she would live a lifetime of glory.
This is what Su Rong thought all the way from leaving the gate of the prefect's mansion to now walking to Shili Pavilion outside the city. But at this time, she couldn't tell Zhou Gu what she thought, she still needed to think carefully, so she smiled at Zhou Gu, "You are only sixteen, and I am only fifteen."
Implicit, what's the rush? You don't have to rush, and neither do I.
Zhou Gu heard what she said, although he felt that what she said was quite right. There are indeed many people who get married when they are weak. He is only sixteen, which is indeed a bit early, but she is fifteen, but she has reached the age of marriage. Most of the daughters are seventeen at the latest, and it is time to marry.
He wanted to say something, but he thought that this matter was not up to him, and he had to go back home to see what his grandfather wanted, so he nodded, "Okay, I understand."
He pursed the corner of his mouth, "Then I'm leaving?"
Su Rong waved, "Let's go!"
Zhou Gu saw that she had just said that she hated him, but she let him go in a blink of an eye. For some reason, he suddenly gathered a depression, swung his whip, and the horse under him raised its hooves and galloped away.
All the guards of Duke Huguo's Mansion immediately rode their horses and followed him.
Sitting on the horse, Su Rongduan watched Zhou Gu lead the horse away and disappeared at the end of the official road in a short while. She looked back reluctantly and sighed.
Just halfway through this breath, her face suddenly turned cold, followed by a gust of cold wind behind her, she turned sideways instantly, dodging the sword attack behind her, and because of her haste to dodge, the whole person rolled off the horse and fell to the ground, barely got up, the cold light came again in an instant, she immediately dodged, and then turned around, only to see a man in black coming with a sword, not just this one person, following this man's attack, in an instant, several black shadows appeared behind him, and surrounded her in an instant surrounded.
Su Rong's complexion changed, his sleeves were thrown out, and several golden needles flew towards the man in black. In a blink of an eye, several people were caught off guard and fell down after being hit by the golden needles. Taking advantage of the breakthrough of the man in black's fall, Su Rong rushed over quickly, ran forward, and threw out the golden needles while running.
She didn't expect that there would be a large number of killers coming to kill her in broad daylight. Although the gold needles on her body were always prepared, they were limited. After a few rounds, she killed more than a dozen men in black, but there were still several men in black chasing her.
The gold needles on Su Rong's body were all used up, leaving only a dagger, and the man in black had already chased him, so she could only use the dagger to resist the assassination.
After a few rounds, her arm was scratched by the sword, and the hand holding the dagger trembled a little, but even so, she saw the opportunity and still sprinkled out the poisonous powder that had been hiding on her body.
The man in black did not expect that she alone would let them kill so many people in a blink of an eye, and she was already being chased to the end of the road, and she even had poisonous powder on her body as a killer move, killing three more people at once.
Gritting her teeth, Su Rong fought back and forth with the two people. In a blink of an eye, it was not only on her arms, but also on her body.
This dagger cuts iron like mud, but it is too short after all, it is no match for a sword. A sense of depression rose in her heart, thinking that even if she died in the hands of these two people, she would drag them to die together.
Although she was in a weak position because she only had a dagger in her hand, she fought hard for a while, which also shocked the two killers. Even though she was stabbed into a **** man for a while, she still didn't hurt her fatally.
However, due to excessive blood loss, physical strength is gradually exhausted, and these two people are indeed high in martial arts. Su Rong thought about continuing to entangle like this. Even if she wanted to drag these two people to death, she might not be able to do so. The ultimate move of another person stabbing from the side.
At this moment, Su Rong's heart was blank. When a person is really facing death, he can't think of anything.
At the very moment, a stone flew obliquely and hit the sword that was stabbing at Su Rong, deflecting the sword in an instant. Su Rong saw the crisis in front of him and stabbed forward with the dagger in his hand.
Seeing someone rescue her, Su Rong retracted the dagger panting, lost all strength, couldn't stand for a while, and sat down on the ground.
The person who came to rescue her was unknown to Su Rong, but his martial arts were extremely high. It seemed that he was very easy to deal with the killer. After a few moves, the man stabbed the killer's heart with a sword, and the killer fell to the ground unwillingly.
The man wiped off the blood on the sword, put the sword back into the sheath, and turned to look at Su Rong.
Su Rong calmly looked at the person who rescued him. He was dressed in black, very young, with handsome features. Seeing her looking at him, she seemed tense for a moment. She opened her mouth and closed it again, seemingly at a loss for a while.
Su Rong felt pain all over his body, staring at this man and said: "A year ago, at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, you were the one who saved me. Who are you?"
The man was shocked, "You knew it was me a year ago?"
"I know, although it was dark at that time, you covered your face, but I remember your breath clearly."
The tension of this person dissipated all of a sudden, his eyebrows and eyes instantly became lively, and his whole body was full of joy, and he immediately said: "I am your hidden guard."
Su Rong raised an eyebrow.
The man bowed his hands immediately, and paid his respects, "My subordinate, Feng Ling, pays my respects to my little master."
"Where did I get the hidden guard?" Su Rong always knew that someone was protecting her in the dark, but she never met face to face. This was the first time.
Feng Ling blinked, with a sense of grievance in his eyes, and whispered: "This subordinate has always been your secret guard, but Mr. Xie didn't let this subordinate see you, so this subordinate has never dared to show your face in front of you."
Su Rong was stunned, "So, if it wasn't for my life-threatening situation today, you wouldn't show up?"
Feng Ling nodded.
Su Rong glanced at the blood all over her body. After a life-and-death chase, there were seven or eight wounds on her body, so she remained silent for a while.
Feng Ling looked at her pale face, and explained cautiously, "Mr. Xie gave his life, saying that if it weren't for this, you wouldn't be able to practice self-protection..."
"I can thank him." Su Rong was noncommittal.
In these years, she did not dare to let herself slack off in martial arts because of the sudden assassinations.
Feng Ling said in a low voice: "Your injury is relatively serious. The subordinate will bandage you to stop the bleeding first, and then take you to see the injury."
Su Rong glanced at the dead body lying not far away, "I'll stop the bleeding myself, you first clean up the corpses you killed along the way, then take me to Xie's mansion, and then ask the doctor."
Feng Ling nodded, "Okay, we really have to deal with it quickly."
