C13 suicide by taking poison

Qian Yexun's lowered eyelids flashed with a sharp light.

He'd long since noticed that group of assassins.

Normally, this kind of assassination and sneak attack would be like an egg hitting a rock, not even able to withstand a single blow.

But right now, he was seriously injured, so it would be very inconvenient for him to move around.

Not to mention counterattacking, even avoiding it would be difficult.

The woman beside him suddenly tensed up and became alert.

Qian Yexun's eyes flashed as a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

There was already no more time, and he had already thought it through even more clearly.

The long sword had already pierced through the carriage curtain, heading straight for Qian Yexun who was lying in the carriage.

He frowned, as if regretting, as if angered.

It was because he was about to die that he seemed to realize the danger of the killer that suddenly appeared.

Ban Xia did not think much of it, and directly pounced towards the side.

In her previous life, when she was still a female assassin, no matter what she did, what decision she made, or what decision she made, she would always think it over and over again.

But now, she seemed to have forgotten her own safety. She had forgotten how dangerous the situation before her was.

She avoided his injured chest as much as she could, and as she pounced on him, she pulled him to the side and rolled him over.

However, the space in the carriage was limited, and even the modified carriage was only that big.

Pushing the severely ill patient to the very back, she had no choice but to be exposed.

That longsword had directly pierced through her luxurious sleeve.

There was a pain in her arm, and she knew it was an accident.

Right now, inside the carriage, she was on top while Qian Yexun was pressed down by her at the bottom of the carriage.

Because Qian Yexun was at the innermost area, his body had already reached the side where the carriage's door was.

But in order to not pressure his injured chest, Ban Xia forced himself to be put in a dangerous position.

She could have completely suppressed him and overlapped with him. That way, she would have been able to avoid this attack.

But she did not, did not.

The smell of blood in the carriage became even stronger.

That long sword had missed its fatal point in one strike, as if it was not willing to give up, and retreated to attack the second sword. In that short period of time, Ban Xia had already kicked a pillow at her feet, and threw the pillow straight to the carriage's curtain.

The sword had been struck by the pillow, and the flexible sword had forcefully bounced back, changing its original trajectory and piercing through empty air.

Zhang Liang used all his strength and finally killed one of the masked assassins. He turned back and immediately ran back.

With his return, the killers who wanted to kill Qian Yexun before, would have a strong opponent.

At the same time, the two people in the carriage had a chance to catch their breath.

The battle outside was still ongoing, and the danger was not over yet.

Ban Xia lifted half of her arm and she could already see the dark red blood that had seeped into her luxurious sleeve. She clenched her teeth and tore off a part of her sleeve and wrapped her arm around it to stop the bleeding.

The smell of blood in the air caused the murderous intent that she had been hiding ever since she was reborn to be triggered.

"Lie still here. I'll go out and meet that damned fellow!"

After throwing down those words, she immediately flipped out of the carriage.

This was the first time she had the chance to see what was going on outside. There were corpses strewn all over the place, and even if they survived due to luck, they would at least be seriously injured.

At this time, the only word that came to her mind was' kill him '. That's right, someone was trying to kill Qian Yexun, the War God!

As for whether he was an enemy of the enemy or an enemy of the Floating Cloud Nation himself, no one knew.

She bent down and picked up a longsword that had been discarded on the ground. The longsword was in her hand, and after two quick swings, she finally recovered some of the feeling of a female assassin from her previous life.

With just Zhang Liang alone, he was still dealing with two masked killers with similar strength.

Although he wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand in a short period of time, he wouldn't be able to defeat the two assassins in one fell swoop.

This kind of battle was a battle of attrition with regards to endurance.

Whoever was the first to lose their strength would be the one to die and also the loser.

Without saying a word, Ban Xia picked up the sword in her hand and immediately joined Zhang Liang's side.

She was currently a New Princess of the Prince Feather Palace, and Zhang Liang was one of his trusted followers. Someone wanted to assassinate them, so naturally, the person Ban Xia was helping now was her husband.

With two people against two people, the situation immediately reversed.

The two masked assassins, who had originally held the upper hand, suddenly revealed their disadvantage.

After thirty moves, Ban Xia used the tip of her sword and directly pushed against one of the masked killers' necks.

"Who are you people? Who was the one sent to assassinate us?"

Ban Xia did not take her life on the spot. She wanted to interrogate him.

With such an assassination, she should have known who was behind it.

Zhang Liang had also subdued a masked assassin. He pushed the two masked assassin to one side and used his sword to support their necks.

He took off the black scarves of the two masked assassins. However, their facial features and faces were foreign to him. There was no way to identify them.

But one thing was certain, this was definitely not an assassin sent by the enemy nation.

"Are you admitting it?" If you don't admit it, do you believe that I will cut off your heads with my sword? " Zhang Liang's eyes were already red from killing.

He had originally thought that such a bloody scene could only be seen on the battlefield.

However, he didn't expect that there would be one right under the emperor in the capital.

The two assassins who were forced to kneel on the ground had already lost.

This kind of surprise attack and assassination attempt was a failure. Furthermore, they were captured alive. This was quite a humiliation.

The two killers looked at each other, their speed was extremely fast, as though they were passing on an important message. When Ban Xia wanted to stop them, she found that one of the killers was already vomiting blood.

Following that, black blood flowed out of the mouth of the other assassin.

"Not good, they committed suicide by taking poison!"

Ban Xia's face changed. She anxiously tried to break one of the assassin's mouth, but his mouth was filled with blood.

"Damn it! That poison must have been hidden under the tip of their tongues in advance. These assassins probably know that they can't turn back now. If it falls into our hands, it would be better to die than to take the poison for themselves!" Zhang Liang was furious.

However, the two assassins were dead in front of them.

"Mistress, your subordinates deserve to die!"

Zhang Liang was the leader of the guards, so it was naturally hard for him to take responsibility.

He spontaneously walked out of the carriage, bowed his head, and admitted his mistakes as he received his punishment.

Ban Xia threw the sword in her hand and walked towards the carriage.

"Zhang Liang, you are not wrong, this assassination is a surprise attack, you cannot defend against it, because you do not know where the other party will make a move, and when they will appear."

Qian Yexun who was in the horse carriage was just a little frightened.

"Forget it. I'll just have to guard myself from now on. Don't repeat what happened today!"

Immediately after, Du Zhong led the other guards of the Duke Palace and rushed over while gasping for breath.

"Damn you, your men came too late. Prince, are you alright?"

Zhang Liang asked without batting an eyelid, "Shouldn't you be staying in the Palace? "How did you know we met with a surprise attack and came back?"

Du Zhong wiped away the sweat on his forehead and replied.

It was a kind fisherman, he saw the fighting going on here, but he was alone. He did not dare to rashly come out, so he had no choice but to sneak out, and then ran to the prince's mansion to report to them. When I got the news, I immediately gathered all of the mansion's guards and rushed to this place.

Du Zhong's way of speaking seemed to be flawless and without any flaws.

However, it was often this type of flawless trick that had problems.

Zhang Liang did not expose him on the spot, and only observed the situation unfold.

Because all of the guards they had brought before, with the exception of Zhang Liang, had already died in this battle, they could only activate the guards Du Zhong had brought along to escort them into the palace.

As for Du Zhong himself, because of his own request, he also stayed.

Inside the horse carriage, Ban Xia rested with her eyes closed. Although the wound on her arm wasn't big, it would hurt just by moving it a little.

She slightly closed her eyes, thinking about other things.

The two masked assassins were captured alive. The moment Zhang Liang took off their black scarves and revealed their real appearances, Ban Xia's heart, thump thump thump thump thump incessantly.

Their method of killing, when they died, and the way they used poison, were all very similar to the ways of the Killer's Gate.

Of course, whether it was the assassins from the civil society or the martial artists, although their killing methods and ways of doing things were all similar, Ban Xia had been raised in the Killer's Gate since she was young, and had always received the strictest, most orthodox, and most uniform training.

However, this was only a suspicion and she did not dare to reveal it.

Back then, the person who killed her was also one of her own, a fellow sect member of the Killer's Gate.

Now, she found herself less and less knowledgeable about this killing organization.

Her mind was in a mess now, and she had countless questions.

If Du Zhong was really from the same sect who had killed her, then he must have come from Killer's Gate.

Du Zhong was one of Qian Yexun's subordinates, and did things for him. Qian Yexun should be the young master of the Killer's Gate.

But how could the young lord order his own assassins to assassinate him?

The fog in front of her eyes was so dense that she couldn't find a proper explanation.

"How about I return to the residence first and change into a clean and tidy dress. This time, my clothes are tainted with the smell of blood and a piece of it was torn off by me. It might be inappropriate for me to wear this to the palace."

Ban Xia suddenly thought of this and asked.

Qian Yexun who had been dozing off with his eyes closed replied stiffly, "No need."

Ban Xia did not think too much about it. It was not that she did not want to change it.

Just like that, the rest of the journey went by without incident, until the horse carriage entered the palace.

This was Ban Xia's first time entering the palace, and couldn't help but find it novel.
