Chapter 739: A member of the Liu family was assassinated
The carriage sped along the bustling street, once again causing people and horses to fall to the ground.
Just as everyone was about to start cursing, someone shouted, "The carriage from Prince Li's mansion!"
Suddenly, everyone stopped cursing and started discussing curiously, wondering if something had happened outside.
The black horse dragged the carriage and rushed out of the city gate rapidly. Yuezhen was thrown around in the carriage and could only hold on to the window to stabilize her body.
Nanqi took the reins and asked her to go in, but she had no intention of going in.
She stood up, held onto the carriage, and looked into the distance, her anxious eyes seeming to be burning with fire.
The strong wind made her sky-blue dress rustle and flutter wildly, just like her restless mood at the moment.
Nanqi vaguely guessed why Shu He was so nervous, but he felt that was unlikely. However, even with this thought, he did not stop whipping the horsewhip for a moment.
Xuan Feng immediately stood at the back of the car, a puzzled look on his face, "Princess, what are we going to do?"
Shu He ignored him and just asked Nanqi to speed up.
Shili Pavilion was approaching at a rapid speed. This was the place where she and the Liu family parted ways.
Not far ahead, dozens of figures appeared on a vast plain, fighting each other.
Except for Tan Xuan and Old Madam Liu who had no martial arts skills, all the people in the Liu family were tightly entangled by the men in black. Yi'er rode Wuwu, shuttled back and forth in the center of the battlefield, and rescued them from time to time.
But those people were all masters of the Imperial Palace, and at least they were above the fourth rank. Except for the two brothers Liu Jingchen and Liu Rufeng who could barely hold on, Liu Ruzhu and Liu Kun were obviously unable to withstand the siege of several people.
Shu Yuanqing was missing an arm, and his already weak skills made it almost impossible for him to withstand the battle!
Shu Yuanqi wasn't particularly skilled in martial arts to begin with, his meager skills only reaching the sixth rank at best. He could hold his own against ordinary soldiers, but facing these masters, he was clearly overwhelmed. In the blink of an eye, he was kicked and sent flying.
Seeing this, Liu Jingchen quickly approached the two brothers Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi. With a wave of his spear, his powerful internal force burst out, knocking the two White Tiger Guards who were attacking Shu Yuanqi away.
He shouted to the two of them, "Yuanqi, you and Yuanqing go to the carriage together and protect the women!"
Shu Yuanqing and Shu Yuanqi also knew that they might be a burden now, so they were very obedient and immediately retreated outside of Madam Liu's carriage.
Liu Ruzhu was not strong enough and retreated back to the carriage.
The three of them cooperated with each other and temporarily delayed the two White Tiger Guard masters who attacked the carriage.
Seeing this, two of the other White Tiger Guards came to help and wanted to kill the people in the carriage first, but Yi'er shouted and came riding a tiger.
With a roar, its sharp and pointed teeth suddenly opened and bit towards the White Tiger Guards who wanted to come to its rescue.
Seeing this, the two White Tiger Guards quickly dodged, but one of them was still a step too slow and was bitten hard on the arm by Wuwu.
Yi'er was quick-witted and quick-handed. Seeing this, she quickly jumped over. An exquisite and cold dagger appeared in the air at her waist, and she stabbed it into the man's neck.
She learned this move from Shu He. Shu He used this move when he killed Mrs. Chen.
She saw that scene in a daze and remembered it forever.
Later, when she grew up a little, she found out that if a person was pierced here, he would die!
The next moment she pulled out a dagger, bringing out a splash of blood, and with a force of her feet, she returned to Wuwu again.
When the White Tiger Guard on the other side saw this scene, even with his face covered, he could not hide the shock and panic on his face.
A child who looks no more than four or five years old can move the knife so quickly and decisively!
"She is worthy of being Prince Li's daughter!" someone exclaimed, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Liu Kun shook his sword, rapidly consuming his strength and shaking away the fourth-grade master in front of him.
Surprise appeared on his face, "You know our identities?!"
Perhaps having just entered the palace from the Jianghu, these people hadn't yet learned to keep their mouths shut. They only responded smugly, "So many masters have gathered here just for you. How could they not know who you are?"
Liu Kun was extremely shocked. He knew their identities and yet he dared to kill them?!
"Whose people are you? The Eighth Prince or the Ninth Prince?" Liu Kun became more and more worried, and the anger on his face almost turned into gloomy water.
The man smiled coldly, "Go to hell and ask the King of Hell!"
More than twenty masters came out together. Even though Liu Jingchen, Liu Rufeng, Liu Ruyu and others were at the third level, they still found it difficult to withstand the siege of so many people.
Before long, their bodies were covered with wounds.
Their clothes were stained with blood, and their internal and physical strength were rapidly declining.
Until they could no longer hold on, Yier's eyes turned red and she directly ordered Wuwu to start a killing spree.
She herself relied on her tremendous strength and agility to move among the crowd, punching those people's thighs and stomachs one after another.
But those people are all masters, how could they let a kid take advantage of them every time?
Some people came for Yi'er. She quickly retreated, her face grimacing at them. "Humph, an adult hitting a child, how shameless!"
The White Tiger Guards' mouths twitched and their bodies stopped.
It's really embarrassing. Several grown men beat up a four or five-year-old kid. If this matter gets out, they will be too ashamed to face anyone.
At the moment when they were stunned and hesitant, Yier quickly picked up the sword on the ground and perfectly demonstrated the sword skills taught by Nanqi.
Even though she was small, she was able to injure those people several times with her tremendous strength and mysterious swordsmanship.
Those people's faces turned red, and an indescribable feeling of shame surged in their hearts.
"This girl is not simple, don't hold back!" Otherwise you will be the one to die!
Several people rushed forward. Wuwu became completely furious when he saw this. All the soft hair on his body stood up at this moment. He rushed towards the White Tiger Guards with sharp claws, violent speed, and unstoppable momentum.
But even though Yi'er and Wuwu stopped several White Tiger Guards, there were still nearly twenty people besieging the four people from the Liu family.
Seeing the Liu family retreating step by step, Shu Yuanqing and Liu Ruzhu couldn't help but rush out together to relieve their pressure.
On this side, only Shu Yuanqi was left in the carriage. He drove out of the melee and ran aimlessly forward.
The two leaders of the White Tiger Guard, who had been standing in the distance on horseback, saw someone trying to escape, so they sent two of them out to chase the carriage.
Tan Xuan and Old Madam Liu supported each other, feeling anxious as the carriage continued to gallop.
Soon, the White Tiger Guards behind him arrived, and their cold swords swept out a violent wind, directly splitting the carriage in half.
