Liangcheng is only four or five days away from the capital, and can be reached in two days by riding fast.

A team of carriages and horses moved slowly towards the capital.

"So you already knew your background?" Xu Xingyi asked.

Shen Qingxu told Xu Xingyi that after old man Tianji pretended to be dead, he came to her and told her about his life story, but asked her not to tell anyone, so as not to bring about a fatal disaster, not even Xu Xingyi. Shen Qingxu talked about this and that, and gradually dispelled Xu Xingyi's suspicion.

"Yes, don't worry, my sister is very powerful and treats me very well. With her around, no one dares to bully me."

She looked at Xu Xingyi's slowly relaxing brows, and the stone in her heart finally settled down. Alas, this smart man was not easy to fool.

It was still half a day's journey to Beijing when we reached the narrowest section of the road. On one side of this official road was a steep stone wall, and on the other side was a bottomless cliff.

Although this official road is a bit tortuous and bumpy, the surrounding scenery is particularly fascinating.

Shen Qingxu leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery slowly moving backwards.

In the distance, there are mountains stretching out, shrouded in clouds and mist, creating quite a poetic atmosphere.

Before she could even sigh, she caught a glimpse of something shiny flying towards her. When she wanted to see what it was, she felt something cold brushing past her ear. She touched her ear and saw some blood, so she pinched it with her hand to stop the bleeding.

what is this?

No! What just flew over... seemed to be an arrow!

Someone was hit by an arrow!

Suddenly, there were shouts and heart-wrenching cries from the front, as if someone had fallen down.

The powerful arrow just now was clearly aimed at her. It almost pierced her head. Shen Qingxu's face turned pale.

"There is an assassin, protect Miss Shen!" Wen Qiliang shouted outside.

The guards surrounded Shen Qingxu's carriage, and a group of black-clad and masked assassins emerged from behind the rocks and weeds on the roadside.

The swords of both sides clashed, blood splattered, and people gradually fell down around, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

"Qingxu!" Xu Xingyi had just gotten out of the carriage, and before he could tell her to run, an assassin slashed at him with a knife. Xu Xingyi dodged, drew the sword on the horse, and fought with the man.

The man rushed towards Shen Qingxu. Xu Xingyi kicked the man off the carriage, then got off the carriage himself and fought with several men in black.

Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, Xu Xingyi's figure was too blurry to be seen clearly.

Shen Qingxu was extremely anxious when she saw Xu Xingyi struggling with several black-clad assassins.

She was such a waste, what should she do? She didn't know how to fight, and would only make things worse if she went up to him. Shen Qingxu was so anxious that her face turned red, and tears flowed down her face unconsciously.

"Watch out behind you, Xu Xingyi!" Another assassin behind Xu Xingyi tried to launch a sneak attack, but was knocked to the ground by a spinning kick. The man was kicked in the head and lay on the ground without any reaction.

Shen Qingxu saw from the car window that an assassin knocked a guard unconscious, then turned around and stared at her. The two looked at each other, and Shen Qingxu saw the assassin's cold eyes as if he was looking at a dead person. She also saw that the assassin was holding a bloody knife in his hand, pointing the knife at her.

She subconsciously shrank back, her body shaking uncontrollably, and her mind went blank. What should she do?

What should she do?

She has never fought before! She doesn't know martial arts!

I have never encountered such a life-threatening situation with knives drawn in my entire two lifetimes.

Shen Qingxu was forced against the wall of the carriage.

The assassin jumped onto the carriage and approached Shen Qingxu step by step with a knife in hand, trying to catch Shen Qingxu.

"You...you, don't come over here."

In panic, she kicked and punched the person randomly, accidentally kicking him in the abdomen. The person covered his stomach for a long time and couldn't speak. Shen Qingxu wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

Seeing this, the assassin raised his knife and prepared to attack Shen Qingxu, but before the knife came, Shen Qingxu's body was one step faster than her brain and she grabbed the man's knife-holding hand tightly. The assassin was caught and wanted to shake Shen Qingxu off but found that he could not move.

what's the situation?

The assassin looked at the girl's white and tender hand grabbing his wrist in confusion.

I didn't expect that this girl in front of me, who looked weak and was still crying, was so strong. Isn't she just a little girl?

How come you are so strong?

Could it be a martial artist?

"Are you good at martial arts?" the assassin asked his doubts.

It seems that they were careless.

The assassin gathered his strength and tried to break free from Shen Qingxu's grip, but was pulled away by Shen Qingxu and staggered. Seeing that the assassin had no intention of letting her go, Shen Qingxu took the opportunity to step on the assassin's back. The assassin was unable to move and the knife in his hand fell.

Shen Qingxu picked up the knife dropped by the assassin and put it on the man's neck.

"Can you please not kill me!" Shen Qingxu asked suddenly with tears in her eyes!

Assassin: Sister, do you want to see who is killing whom now?

"Bullshit! I'm going to kill you today!" The assassin who was pinned to the ground pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist with his other free hand and stabbed Shen Qingxu with his backhand.

Shen Qingxu kicked away the assassin's hand holding the dagger with his other foot. The assassin was unable to move again and struggled for a few times but still could not regain his freedom.

He was an assassin who had received devilish training from an assassination organization, but today he was crushed by someone with tremendous force. It was really a bad start. If he could go back alive, he would definitely strengthen his strength training.

Although Shen Qingxu does not practice martial arts, her strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, but she doesn't know exactly how much.

But she can easily lift things that Xu Xingyi can't lift normally.

The man turned his head and stared at Shen Qingxu with red eyes, which made Shen Qingxu feel panic in his heart.

"Don't, don't, don't kill me..." Shen Qingxu was puzzled. What kind of people are these? They just come up to her and want to take her life. It's so hateful.

While the assassin was struggling, Shen Qingxu kicked him away and jumped out of the car window with a knife in hand.

"Qingxu! Get out of here!"

Xu Xingyi was being entangled by someone. When he saw Shen Qingxu coming out, he was caught by the assassin in a panic and was stabbed in the shoulder.

Shen Qingxu wanted to go forward, but seeing Xu Xingyi's restraining look, she suppressed her trembling and ran quickly with the knife in hand.

"Help me..."

Shen Qingxu cried as she ran. Perhaps she was too anxious and ran like a wild horse, so the assassin didn't catch her.

After an unknown amount of time, she saw several assassins following her. Because she was not familiar with the surrounding terrain, she could only run while looking at the road, and she did not stop until there was no road.

Shen Qingxu became panicked when she saw that there was no longer any way around. She looked at the people chasing her, not knowing where to retreat. Finally, she was forced to the edge of a cliff by the two assassins.

She stopped in time, and at that moment, all the color disappeared from her face. It was a close call, as she almost fell down.

Then several more assassins caught up with her and blocked her on the cliff.

"Look where you're going!"

"You stupid girl, why don't you keep running!"

Shen Qingxu supported his tired body with a knife, looking at these assassins who were also panting, thinking that if he delayed time, maybe he could wait for rescue.

She felt sad, her voice trembled, and she cried, "What have I done to you? Why are you trying to kill me..."

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being born in the wrong family!"

"The master said to try to catch them alive."

"This little girl is very evil. I'm afraid she will be hard to catch. It's better to kill her to save trouble!"

The assassin didn't waste any time talking to Shen Qingxu. He walked up to her with a knife in hand, intending to kill her, but Shen Qingxu kicked him to the ground with amazing strength.

"You..." The assassin looked at her in disbelief.

Shen Qingxu held the assassin down with one hand and snatched the man's knife with the other.

"What are you doing? You can't even handle a little girl."

The people behind began to slowly surround her. Shen Qingxu kicked the assassin lying on the ground away. She held the knife and did not dare to retreat.

She stepped on the edge of the last rock and used her other foot to stabilize herself from sliding down, but she forgot the strength under her feet. Several assassins felt the ground beneath their feet begin to loosen, and then saw the rock slab where Shen Qingxu was located begin to slowly crack.

"You, don't come over here." Shen Qingxu cried and yelled at the assassin. When she saw that the assassin stopped, she waved her knife and yelled at the assassin, "Don't come over here, don't come over here, or I will beat you to death..."

Is it necessary to be so dramatic? There is an assassin in front and a cliff behind. Is it possible that God wants to kill her? !

"Hurry, retreat quickly! The ground is going to collapse!" an assassin said.

Xu Xingyi, who came from behind, was so frightened when he saw the thousand-foot cliff behind Shen Qingxu that his legs went weak. He moved his eyes to the rock slab under her feet and saw that the rock had been broken. Xu Xingyi's face turned pale and all he could think of was: I can't let her fall.

"Qingxu! Don't move!" Xu Xingyi ran towards Shen Qingxu and tried to hold her back.

Shen Qingxu dropped the knife in his hand and planned to climb over the cracked stone slab.

"Come here quickly!" Wen Qiliang rushed over to catch Shen Qingxu, but was a step too late.

Shen Qingxu's head was buzzing and she could no longer hear their shouts.

In a flash, they watched Shen Qingxu fall off a cliff.

"Ah..." Shen Qingxu's screams echoed in the mountains, and her figure completely disappeared in the clouds under the cliff.

After repelling all the assassins, Xu Xingyi slumped down on the edge of the cliff, tears streaming down his face.

"It's all your fault for wanting to take her to the palace. Now let's go, go, all of you follow us!"

"Don't be rude to the general!" The deputy general on the side shouted at Xu Xingyi. Where did this wild boy come from? Although he has good kung fu and contributed a lot in the fight just now, it was too rude for this boy to yell at their General Wen.

Xu Xingyi was only fifteen years old, two years older than Shen Qingxu. He had always taken care of and protected Shen Qingxu like his own sister. Now, he had to watch her fall off the cliff. No one could accept this.

General Wen waved his hand, signaling the guards not to speak.

He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry... It's all our fault for not protecting you well enough..."

Thinking of the Queen's iron-blooded hand, she is even more terrifying than the Emperor. As a subordinate, he has already thought about which way of death would be more dignified, but how to explain to the Queen to grant him an intact body is also a problem!

He sighed. It was his fate. He then said to his men behind him, "Go and look for him! If he's alive, we need him. If he's dead... we need... his body!"
