Some even only attacked and did not defend, which instantly compressed the encirclement to the vicinity of the carriage.

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu cooperated with each other to prevent people around them from getting close to them, but Bai Zhi and Xiao Shuang were a little stretched.

As the number of besiegers increased, Bai Zhi was not careful and her arm was scratched. Xiao Shuang saw this and quickly pulled her back.

To be honest, Xiaoshuang was just a fourteen-year-old girl who used to work in the backyard. She had never seen such a thrilling scene and her face turned pale with fright.

But she still trembled, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it hard at the masked man rushing towards her.

But how can stone compare to swords?

The assassin simply waved his hand to move the stone, then stabbed at the two men.

At this critical moment, Xiao Ruge descended from the sky, kicked the assassin away, and after landing, he swept away the surrounding assassins with one move.

In addition to the assassins who were besieging the crowd, there were several archers hiding in the woods not far away.

They took advantage of the opportunity and shot a wave of arrows towards Xiao Ruge.

Mu Gu flew up, kicked two arrows away in succession in the air, and picked up another one with the soft sword in his hand, directly protecting Xiao Ruge's left side.

Xiao Ruge cut off the arrow on the right side, making a series of "ding ding ding" sounds.

With the help of the archers, the assassin pounced again.

Xiao Ruge and his companions killed many assassins, but there were more assassins than they expected, and they were more desperate.

Especially since all these people came for Xiao Ruge, this doubled the pressure on her.

While killing the enemies, Mu Gu did not forget to pay attention to Xiao Ruge's situation.

Seeing someone attacking her from behind, he stretched out his long arms, grabbed her shoulders and brought the person behind him, then kicked out with his long legs and kicked the person away.

After missing the first attack, several assassins exchanged glances and rushed forward together. Several others also rushed towards Mu Gu and restrained him.

Seeing that Xiao Ruge was about to get hurt, Mu Gu forced back the enemy in front of him and rushed over to stand behind her.

The sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh rang in Xiao Ruge's ears. She turned around and saw Mu Gu slashing the neck of an assassin, with a long sword stuck in his shoulder.

"How are you? Is it serious?"

Xiao Ruge took the time to ask, with some anxiety in her eyes. After killing the enemy, she turned around to check on Mu Gu's condition.

"Nothing, the injury is not serious."

Mu Gu swung his sword on the hilt, and the long sword stuck in his shoulder flew out.

The moment the sword left the wound, it brought out a stream of blood, and a few drops even splashed on Xiao Ruge's cheek.

Xiao Ruge quickly sealed the acupuncture points around the wound to prevent him from losing too much blood.

Even so, Mu Gu did not forget to hold her and turn around to avoid the assassin's attack.

Looking at the assassin who was attacking desperately, Xiao Ruge was about to call out his assassins when the secret guards summoned by Mu Gu finally arrived.

When the assassin leader saw that the situation was hopeless, he whistled, called his companions and tried to leave, but they were surrounded and blocked by the secret guards, and in the end only two or three of them escaped.

"My subordinate is late, please punish me, Master!"

The leading secret guard and a group of people knelt in front of Mu Gu, and Mu Gu waved at them.

"Get this place cleaned up."

After saying that, he pulled Xiao Ruge onto a black horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards a small path.

Mo Yi greeted Bai Yang when they saw each other, and the two of them each took one girl with them, followed behind, and soon disappeared on the path.

"Where are we going?"

Xiao Ruge turned around and looked at Mu Gu behind her.

Mu Gu smiled and said, "I have a hot spring resort nearby. I'll take you there to rest."

The horse galloped at a fast speed, and after turning a corner, it saw a large farm at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

The gatekeeper had already opened the gate when he saw Mu Gu coming from afar. Mu Gu took Xiao Ruge and jumped directly into the gate, then rode his horse to take her to the backyard.

At this time, Mu Gu's blood had dyed half of his chest red, and Xiao Ruge frowned as he watched.

"I'll bandage you!"

Mu Gu nodded and tore off his clothes, revealing his upper body which was covered with scars but well-dressed.

Xiao Ruge was not unfamiliar with Mu Gu's body. She even knew the scars on his body better than Mu Gu did.

After cleaning the wound with clean water, Xiao Ruge carefully applied medicine to him and began to bandage him carefully.

"Today's assassin is obviously targeting you. Guess who sent him?"

Mu Gu lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruge who was so close to him. When he saw her tightly pursed lips, Mu Gu's heavy mood suddenly became a little relieved.

"It's hard to say. After all, there are several people who want me dead. I haven't figured out the cause of the last wave of assassins yet, and I encountered them again today!"

Xiao Ruge sighed and tied the bandage around Mu Gu's chest. Just as she was about to stand up, the man grabbed her neck and then Mu Gu's handsome face enlarged in front of her eyes.

The burning touch on her lips made Xiao Ruge's eyes widen. She didn't know how to react and she froze there for a moment.

Seeing her reaction, his deep peach blossom eyes couldn't help but bend, and then he wanted to make it even worse.

Before Xiao Ruge recovered from her shock, she felt something wet and slippery trying to get into her mouth.

She came to her senses instantly, pushed Mu Gu away and slapped him.

"Snapped!"

A clear voice rang out in the silent inner room, so powerful that Mu Gu tilted his head.

Xiao Ruge looked at the man in front of her expressionlessly, her eyes slowly turning cold.

"If you think you can do whatever you want to me just because you help me a few times, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

She stood up and looked down at Mu Gu, her eyes colder than ever before.

"Thank you for your help today, Fifth Prince. Goodbye."

After saying this, she no longer looked at Mu Gu, turned around and left coldly and resolutely.

Mu Gu just watched Xiao Ruge leave without chasing after her. Instead, he reached out and touched his beaten cheek, then lowered his eyes and smiled.

I guess I was possessed just now. I knew clearly what the consequences would be if I kissed her, but I still couldn't control myself in the end.

……

The Xiao family originally wanted to wait for Lu Yu to come and propose marriage, but after waiting for several days, there was no movement from the other side. This made Old Mrs. Xiao very angry, and she called Xiao Mingyue to scold her.

Xiao Mingzhi was also very unhappy. As he was now the Imperial Censor, it was easy for him to cause trouble to other people. Therefore, he had caused trouble to Lu Yu in the past few days.

After being scolded, Xiao Mingyue started to become restless again. She asked someone to deliver a message to Lu Yu and secretly slipped out of the door in the middle of the night.

As soon as she left, the news was delivered to Xiao Ruge.

"Okay, I see."

Xiao Ruge responded to the person outside the window, and the person saluted through the window, turned around and left.

She flipped through some information she had looked up and wrote and drew on it.
