Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 247 Attacked again
"I can't walk anymore!" Mengya hugged Wuzhan and was too lazy to move. Her cheeks were flushed and she looked as delicate as a newly blooming flower.

Wuzhan said: "Let me help you!"

"No, I ask you to carry me back!"

Wuzhan had no choice but to pick up Mengya in front of everyone. Who could do anything facing a princess like this, let alone a drunk princess?

After leaving the palace, the three ladies' carriages were ready. Meng Ya saw the convertible that was to pick her up and pouted, "Why is this car without a canopy?"

Yunchu smiled and said, "Princess, if you don't mind, you can be our car!"

Meng Ya said, "Okay!" Then she got down by herself and jumped into the carriage. She didn't look like she couldn't move at all. The three girls smiled and followed her into the car.

The moonlight was like water, and the two cars were driving side by side. The driver of the luxury car lifted the curtains, revealing a pure and beautiful face. She talked and laughed, and glanced at Wuzhi in the convertible from time to time.

Zhulang was driving the car. His face was just like his master's mask, always stiff. Many people could not understand why such a cold person was willing to become a disciple of an elegant peer. Only Zhulang himself understood this question.

Wuzhan has many things worth learning, but he only learns the sword spirit. There are very few people like him who are not greedy, which shows how firm his will is.

The crowd on the street has not completely dispersed. The people here are obviously used to this kind of life. Even if the enemy is at the gate, they will not change much, because there are many things that are not within their control, such as the next moment.

Someone in the crowd whispered, "How could the 'Ji Yu Five Poisons' not be able to deal with just two people?"

Another person replied, "I don't know. They left without saying anything. It should be the long sword of the coachman. The doctor's finger was cut off by the sword. He didn't complain at all. The boy's name is Zhulang. He is a swordsman who has risen in the Central Plains in recent years."

"It seems that this guy is not simple. As for the special envoy wearing a mask, he may not have any profound skills. We need to find a way to entangle this guy and kill the special envoy when the opportunity arises, and then we can complete the mission."

……

A breeze blew by, bringing the expected coolness. Forty-nine arrows with poisonous spears appeared from the darkness. Zhu Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, without looking back, and whispered, "There is an ambush!"

As soon as he uttered the word, "Swish, swish..." forty-nine arrows flew off the bowstrings almost at the same time, rushing towards him at lightning speed. Few people could block so many arrows in this instant, and if one missed even one, he would be pierced through. However, these arrows encountered Zhulang's sword, which was so fast that it was unimaginable. Not a single arrow was left behind, and all of them were chopped into pieces by the sword intent.

"Bang! Bang!" Two huge copper cones with great force rushed out from the shops on both sides and hit the two carriages respectively. Even Zhulang could not resist such a force, not to mention that there were four women sitting in the carriages. If they were hit, they would be smashed to pieces. He was quick-witted and swung his long sword with a dragon roar. A flash of lightning cut off the shaft of the fragrant carriage, separating the carriage from the horse. The speed was slightly slowed down, just enough to avoid it. "Bang..." With a sad cry, the two horses were hit by the copper cones and their flesh and blood were splattered.

On the other side, Wuzhai and Zhulang flew into the air, and the copper cone under their feet smashed the convertible into pieces. Then, with a "bang...", the two copper cones collided with each other, and the sound shook the whole street.

All this happened in just a moment, before the four women made any sound and the carriage stopped sliding forward.

"Teng..." Dozens of men in black suddenly rushed out from the trees, roofs, shops and alleys, holding spears and stabbing at the two people who were still in the air from all directions. These people were all masters with strong skills. As long as the two people fell down, they would be able to stab several holes in them.

Zhulang fell down first, and a halo spread out in all directions. Broken spears and the men in black retreated in all directions. Their spears seemed to hit the hard rocks, and their entire arms had lost feeling. They could not see or think how Zhulang did it.

The four girls jumped down from the carriage and saw a group of men in black. Meng Ya wanted to attack them, but Yun Chu grabbed them and shouted, "Protect the princess!"

A long spear with a whistling cold light crossed the night sky and slashed towards Meng Ya. Feng Wu drew the dagger at her waist, flew up in surprise, and held the sword with both hands to resist the long spear. How could she block it with her strength? With a crisp "clang" sound, the dagger was chopped off, and her whole body was shaken by the huge force and flew straight out, flying lightly in front of Zhu Lang and falling towards the crowd of people in black.

No one would think too much at this time, including Zhulang. He leaped over. Fengwu's posture was very graceful, as if she was ready, waiting for someone to hug her. The hand that Zhulang stretched out just happened to hold her in his arms.

Being hugged by Rouyi around the neck, chests pressed against each other, feeling the fragrance and softness in his arms, any man would hesitate for a moment. Zhulang only took a glance and saw the delicate and shy face in his arms, just like the first time being hugged by a man. He also hesitated for a moment and immediately knew that something was wrong.

As soon as the two landed on the ground, "whoosh..." a net fell from the sky. Zhulang held Fengwu and stepped up again, facing the net. With the sword flashing, he wanted to break the net, but this net was made of silk, which was extremely flexible and had extremely strong adhesion. The sword was blocked and it was difficult to cut it.

Often life and death is just a matter of a moment, and a moment can take one's life. Some people will seize this moment of opportunity and deliver a fatal blow. These are assassins.

The halberd did not chop towards Meng Ya, but turned around and swept across with the force of thunder. The halberd was too fast and seemed familiar. Even a strong immortal-level warrior would find it difficult to avoid it. The assassins saw that the strong young man wielding the halberd was about to succeed, and joy appeared in their eyes.

The halberd that seemed to be unavoidable actually missed. It only created a shadow, and Wuzhan's figure appeared behind the halberd. No one could see how he dodged it. Wuzhan kicked the halberd, and the halberd spun around, killing three men in black. It slashed into the courtyard wall, causing a wall to collapse. Wuzhan jumped up and grabbed the neck of the young man who had lost his balance with his hand, "Who is Xiang Yan to you?"

The young man spat and said fiercely: "You dog official, that was my grandfather. You killed me, and I will seek revenge on you in fifteen years!"

At this time, Zhulang had already torn a hole in the net, hugged Fengwu, and jumped out. Seeing that the mission had failed, he heard a man calling out in the darkness, and the surviving men in black fled away, leaving behind several corpses.

Wuzhan slowly withdrew his hand, and the young man asked in surprise: "Why don't you kill me?"

"Just because of the curse you said."

The young man was even more puzzled, "If everyone calls you a dog official and comes to kill you, won't you let them go?"

"Except you!"

"Do you know my grandfather?" "How could I know him? I just recognized you from the Xiang family by the way you used the halberd." He paused and said, "This is not the place to be. Let's go back to Kuaiji."

The young man was confused and scratched his head, wondering how he knew I was from Kuaiji. Seeing that everyone else had fled, he did not delay and quickly disappeared into the alley.

As soon as the young man left, He Qian came over with a group of people. Seeing that Wuzhan and others were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "The special envoy is not injured, right?"

Meng Ya was drunk again and said with a smile: "You underestimate him too much. Not to mention these people, even if there are thousands of people, they can't hurt him."

He Qian said: "I was negligent and came a step late, which frightened the princess and the special envoy. Please forgive me!"

Wuzhan said: "Your Excellency, don't blame yourself. This is something that cannot be avoided."

He Qian looked at the bodies on the ground and asked, "Sir, can you see who they are? I will take people to check!"

Wuzhan said: "There is no need to investigate. You and I both know that they will not stop until they kill the foreign ministers."

Yunchu bowed to Wuzhan and said, "If you hadn't rescued us, we might have died under this bronze spike. We three sisters will never forget your life-saving grace!" In fact, she also knew that it was Zhulang who rescued Mengya.

Wuzhan said, "Miss, you are too kind. They came here for me. If they were not traveling the same way as me, you would not have been frightened. Even the carriage was destroyed and the driver was injured."

Yunchu smiled and said, "Compared to losing one's life, losing a car and getting injured are nothing."

Meng Ya said: "There is no car to get off now, sir, you can only carry me back."

He Qian said: "The princess and the special envoy can ride on our horses. I will take people to escort the princess and the special envoy back to the guesthouse!"

……

After returning to the guesthouse and waiting for Meng Ya to go to her room to rest, He Qian said to Wu Zhan, "I advise the special envoy to leave Panyu as soon as possible!"

"Is this what the Southern King meant?"

He Qian said: "The king did not say it, but before this day came, those assassins have already blatantly assassinated twice. If you continue to stay in Panyu, it is too dangerous."

Wuzhan said: "The more they act like this, the more it proves that they are afraid, and I can't leave."

"But even if you stay in Panyu, Nanyue will not submit to Qin. Hasn't the special envoy seen this yet? The king can delay it for as long as he can. Even if something happens to the special envoy in Panyu, it is not Panyu's fault."

"Nothing will happen to me, and the Southern King may not be delaying. He may be waiting for an opportunity."

He Qian said: "An opportunity, what opportunity?"

"Let me ask you, why did the King of the South arrange for you to receive me, the special envoy?"

"Because I am one of the few who support surrendering to Qin, the king arranged for me to receive him, at least I will not be inadequate in my hospitality."

"Does the King of the South trust you?"

He Qian asked doubtfully: "It should be trust."

"Don't you really understand what your king means?"

He Qian suddenly realized, "The envoy meant that the king wanted to surrender to Qin? But he was forced to oppose the various tribes, so he couldn't express it. The king is waiting until the tribes have no choice?"

Wuzhan said: "I think you should ask the King of the South about this, right?"

He Qian bowed and smiled, "After hearing what the special envoy said, I finally understood what the king meant. I originally thought that the king had given me a tough job, but now it seems that this is the king's trust in me. I was too stupid and almost messed things up. I will go to the palace and ask the king to send more people to protect the special envoy!"

"If we do this, then the King of the South's intention will be known to everyone, which is inappropriate. Not counting tonight, we have already suffered two large-scale ambushes along the way, both of which we resolved. In addition, the Burial Cauldron lost a Loose Immortal-level expert, and the countries in Southern Xinjiang must have known about it. Therefore, the King of the South believes that the foreign ministers in Panyu can handle these things."

He Qian said: "What the special envoy said is true, but I still advise the special envoy to be careful!"

"It's natural!"

At this time, someone downstairs reported that Miss Yunchu wanted to see him. After hearing this, He Qian laughed and said, "I will not disturb the special envoy!" Then he stood up and said goodbye.
