Feng Ling rushed to the carriage and anxiously lifted the curtain.

I was met with Wang Xin's sparkling eyes.

Feng Ling looked her up and down and found that she was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although I was wondering how she avoided the arrow, now was not the time to ask.

He sent Haoge'er to the car and turned back to kill the assassins who came one after another.

In just a short while, as many as seventy or eighty assassins emerged from the straw pile.

Several people were almost rushing in front of the car.

The number of assassins was not greater than that of the guards, but something was clearly wrong with the guards at this moment.

Their steps were unsteady and their limbs were weak. Compared with the vigorous and energetic appearance when they set out, they seemed like a completely different group of people.

Or maybe he got caught in a small town.

Only then did Wang Xin have the opportunity to look at the guards and horses.

At first glance, I could see the problem.

He was given chronic muscle softening and strengthening powder.

It must be the smell that I got when I was having dinner in the town ahead.

The food was fine, the poison was most likely in the saddle.

This poison is colorless and odorless, and it does not take effect immediately. It will only take effect when you practice Qigong, so it cannot be detected for a while.

But once the attack occurs, if the poison is not detoxified in time, the poisoned person will not only lose the strength of his hands and feet, but even his original martial arts will slowly dissipate. When the power is gone, the person will be useless, and at that time, he can only be slaughtered by others.

It is an extremely vicious poison.

Since the poison was on the saddle, the horse was naturally affected as well.

Wuyuntashuei is extremely alert and is usually taken care of by someone. It is probably because the person who poisoned it did not find a chance to attack it.

Wang Xin found the crux of the problem, and immediately together with Hao Ge'er, sprinkled the antidote on the guards lying on the ground near the carriage.

The first to benefit were the sixteen female guards surrounding the carriage.

Soon, they felt their strength restored, and even the horses stood up.

Seeing that they had recovered, Wang Xin gave several bottles of medicine to the people closest to them and asked them to rescue more companions.

Soon, more and more people joined the battle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other side did not want to fight anymore. After a whistle sounded, the men in black retreated one after another.

As for the man who shot the arrow first, after shooting the arrow, he turned around and disappeared after a few steps.

Under Mengmeng's guidance, Wang Xin only had time to see a blurry figure.

Feng Ling was worried that he would fall into the enemy's trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, so he did not give chase.

Fortunately, the antidote was given in time, the casualties on our side were not heavy, and the main characters were all safe.

The other party's sudden assassination attempt was considered a failure.

Wang Xin turned on the system monitoring function in the second half.

Overall, I still have no experience.

Thinking about such a large group of people, it is obvious that most of them are well-trained and have great martial arts skills.

Anyone with a bit of common sense wouldn't take action at this time.

She still thought that the struggles among the powerful were too simple and benevolent.

After this assassination, she felt more sympathetic towards Feng Ling's past life.

At the same time, they also have a deeper understanding of the difficult living conditions they will face in the future.

After Feng Ling and his men finished checking the scene, they returned to the carriage.

The assassin had been lying in ambush in the straw pile for a long time.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, they must have been lurking before dawn.

The person who planned this assassination was very thoughtful.

I just asked the farmers who were trembling with fear in the fields. They all fell asleep for some reason this morning and only came to the fields in the afternoon.

The assassin hid in the straw pile and concealed his breath. In addition, real farmers were working in the fields and birds were pecking at the food nearby.

No one would have thought that there was danger lurking here.

This game was set up perfectly.

If Wang Xin had not provided the antidote in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Judging from the men in black who did not have time to escape from the scene, the assassins were from Xiliang and were all death warriors.

And they all committed suicide in ways that Wang Xin and Hao Ge'er were familiar with.

It was obvious that he had a close connection with the assassin from the night before, or was the work of the same person.

But the identity of the archer is hard to say.

Judging from the information we have, he should not be from Xiliang.

It is also possible that the people behind the scenes are desperate and collude with both internal and external forces.

If this is the case, the situation is more serious. If the enemy country is involved, it can be said to be treason.

There is also another possibility, that is, this person has been hiding very deeply in the past, and has special skills, but has never shown them in front of others.

That would be even more dangerous.

It's like having a poisonous snake hiding next to him, but his opponent doesn't know it.

You never know when it will pop its head out and bite you to death.

The specific details still need to be verified in detail.

This time he was the one who picked up Wang Xin. He was so happy that he became careless.

It was also his fault that he did not hide his whereabouts. Many people knew that he was coming to pick up Wang Xin, and he was caught by the other party.

He said to Wang Xin apologetically: "I'm sorry, it's my negligence that scared you again!"

Wang Xin rolled her eyes in annoyance: "What is there to be sorry about? Since I have taken on the responsibility of being the future Princess Ding, of course I will share the good times and the bad times with you. Do you think I only know how to enjoy the good times?"

It was just a short sentence, and it was said rather impolitely, but Feng Ling felt a warm feeling in his heart when he heard it.

He has been in the border town for eight years and is used to handling danger alone.

Even though Cangli and the others were there, they were more often than not loyal subordinates who only followed orders.

The only sister I trust is trapped in the capital again...

Feng Ling looked at Wang Xin carefully.

Wang Xin just turned 15 two months ago, and is in her prime.

When the fate came about, her birthday had already passed.

The coming-of-age ceremony for girls at the age of fifteen is an extremely important festival for them.

He wanted to make amends to her, but she said that everything should be left to fate.

Since it has already passed, there is no point in making up for it.

If we are destined to be together, we can celebrate our birthdays together in the future.

Although she looks delicate and fresh, her eyes are calm and she remains composed in all situations.

Even though he encountered two waves of assassinations in just two days, he remained calm.

Doesn't seem afraid at all.

Hidden beneath her baby-faced and well-behaved appearance must be a strong and tolerant heart, right?

Yes, we share the happiness and the difficulties, and we will not be alone on the road ahead.

Feng Ling held Wang Xin's hand and squeezed it tighter.

Wang Xin did not avoid him, but shook his hand back.

It was as if holding a silent oath.

Hao Ge'er, who was sitting opposite him with a calm expression, silently shifted his gaze to the sleeping Xiao Ge'er.

After a long time, Wang Xin was the first to break the silence.

"Do you often encounter assassinations? Here's a gift for you."

She took out something that looked like clothing from the bag she was carrying and handed it to Feng Ling.

Feng Ling opened it.

At first glance, it looks a bit like armor, but it is very different from armor.

It is much lighter than armor and should be more comfortable and flexible to wear than armor.

Feng Ling touched it with his hand. The texture was hard but not cold. It was not made entirely of metal or leather like armor.

Feng Ling had some vague guesses, but was still not sure, "Is this a protective suit?" he asked a little uncertainly.

Wang Xin thought, this is the highest level of stab-proof clothing in the system, isn’t its function to provide protection?

Wang Xin nodded: "Well, wearing it can protect you from knife cuts and sword stabs, and it can also protect you from fire. You can try it."

Feng Ling pulled out a gleaming dagger from his boots with suspicion and stabbed at the strange protective clothing.

Ok?

It didn't pierce!

His eyes widened in disbelief.

His dagger can cut through iron like mud, and it is a treasure carefully selected from his father's armory.

Feng Ling wondered if he hadn't used his full strength just now, so he exerted force with his wrist, and this time the dagger stabbed forward with a gust of wind.

Still no piercing!

Feng Ling said excitedly: "You were able to avoid being shot by that arrow because of this protective suit?"

Wang Xin nodded.

Haoge opened his coat and let him see what he was wearing. Haoge was also wearing a small size coat.

Feng Ling was shocked: "Where did you get this treasure?"

It's unimaginable how much danger can be reduced with this thing.

Wang Xin didn't want to lie, but it was even more impossible to expose the system space to him at the moment.

He just said perfunctorily: "I accidentally found a few in Changshou Mountain."

Since there is such a mysterious legend circulating about Changshou Mountain, it doesn't matter if it takes the blame for this, right?

Feng Ling was silent, he knew she was not telling the truth.

That's what her expression told him.

She was determined to give him this life-saving magic weapon, regardless of the risk of her secret being exposed.

This means - she is worried about his safety!

He wondered how many secrets his unmarried wife had waiting for him to uncover?

But, that's enough.

The group continued on their journey, and the afternoon's journey was obviously faster than the morning's.

Finally we arrived at Shuocheng before the sun set.
