Only a pair of eyes and two lips were exposed on Mrs. Wu's face.

She was talking to Yan Ruyu, her eyes were dark and cold as she stared at Huo Changhe, as if fangs had grown out of her mouth and were about to pierce him.

Huo Changhe took a step forward, protecting Yan Ruyu behind him, and drew the soft sword from his waist, with the tip of the sword like a snake, pointing at Madam Wu.

Mrs. Wu was fearless and did not take a step back, her eyes still fixed on his face.

"Your Majesty wants to kill me?"

"random!"

Madam Wu laughed wildly: "You control thousands of troops and are invincible. The border is stable, all thanks to the prince!"

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly, and then she heard Madam Wu change the subject: "Your Highness, have you heard these words too many times? Are you tired of them? Do you believe them all?"

"The border is stable, trade is booming, and the people live in peace. Are all these your achievements?"

Mrs. Wu's cold eyes seemed to be burning with anger again: "Why should all the glory go to you alone?"

Huo Changhe's voice was calm, like a drop of ice: "I have never said that this was all my work. The soldiers at the border have all worked hard. Without them, even if I had great abilities, I would not have achieved today's results alone."

"What's more, the stability and prosperity of both Shencheng and Youcheng are the achievements of the current officials and have nothing to do with this king."

"Nothing to do with it?" Madam Wu sneered. "Really? The people of Youcheng, who doesn't praise you two? Business, food, medicine, military, which aspect have you not intervened in?"

Huo Changhe wanted to say more, but Yan Ruyu slowly spoke up: "Your Majesty, there is no need to waste your breath on her. She thinks you are someone who is trying to take credit for her achievements. Whatever you say will be useless."

"You don't want us to interfere," Yan Ruyu continued, "If you want credit and fame, then go ahead and do it. You must know what the third son of the Wu family did, but you didn't care and didn't interfere, allowing him to resell military rations. You cowered like a turtle, and now you blame us for interfering?"

"What? You want fame but don't want to do anything. Even a turtle wouldn't dare to ask for that."

"We have done good things, and we want to leave a name for ourselves. The porridge shop we opened, the free clinics, and the food we sent to the army are all genuine and of high quality. Our money didn't come from the wind. After spending so many years, what's wrong with having a little reputation?"

"How dare you, a weak, incompetent, and stingy person who doesn't work or say anything, to shout here?" Yan Ruyu nodded, "Yes, you have no face now."

Huo Changhe pursed his lips slightly, his eyes sparkling - Ruyu scolded so well! If he had spoken just now, he would definitely not have scolded so well.

Mrs. Wu was furious.

At this moment, several figures fell in the yard outside. They were wearing black clothes with a red circle on the collar, cuffs and belts, masks on their faces, and holding knives or swords in their hands, shining with cold light.

Madam Wu smiled up to the sky and said, "I told you, Princess, you can't leave."

"But you are still in our hands," Yan Ruyu said, a knife appeared in her palm, "Before that, I can kill you first."

Madam Wu was not afraid: "I don't care. It's worth it if the Prince of Zhennan and the Princess can die here and be buried with me."

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "That's right, anyway, you will never have the chance to achieve your wish, so it's better to die."

Madam Wu's smile froze, and she angrily scolded the people outside: "What are you waiting for? Kill them!"

The man in black swung his hand and threw out a flying claw, which grabbed the window frame with a "clang". He raised his hand again and the whole window was grabbed away. Then two men in black tiptoed and flew towards this side with big swords.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu stood on the left and right to meet the enemy.

The room was narrow and difficult to maneuver, so the other men in black did not enter the room.

The next moment, a figure flew out and fell to the ground vomiting blood.

Afterwards, Huo Changhe also flew out, swept his sword, and stabbed another person to death.

Yan Ruyu followed out, blood gushing from the tip of the knife.

Mrs. Mu was nervous and anxious. She wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but she was also worried about her son.

She turned around and saw that Madam Wu seemed to be leaving, so she asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"You don't care about me?"

"Why should I care about you?" Madam Wu snorted and laughed, "Today we met just to inquire about the situation. You are not my subordinate in the first place."

"Besides, if it was my subordinate, and he was coerced into revealing so much information, I would have killed him myself without anyone else having to kill him."

Madam Mu refused to accept: "I am doing this for my son too!"

"Can you……"

Before she could finish her words, Madam Wu said, "No, I won't care whether you live or die, let alone your son."

She turned and left the house, but did not join the fight. Instead, she took the opportunity to escape around the back of the house.

After she took two steps, Huo Changhe swung his hidden weapon and hit her right calf, causing her to fall to the ground with a thud.

Although he was not killed, he could not escape quickly for the moment.

A few more men in black came. Yan Ruyu glanced at them and saw that there were nine people in total, not counting the two who had just died.

Two to nine.

Moreover, these men in black are all very skilled, so they have no chance of winning.

Madam Wu said, "If you let me go, I will let them let you go. We owe each other nothing and we can fight again another day."

"If you don't agree, then we'll all die here. I'm going to die anyway. The prince and princess are of noble status, and their lives are very precious."

Yan Ruyu tilted her head to look at her, her words were as cold as ice and snow: "You keep saying you are not afraid of death, but in fact you still want to live, don't you?"

"Of course you want to live," Mrs. Wu said angrily, "who would want to die if there's a glimmer of hope?"

"But even if there is no way to survive, I am not afraid. It is worth it to exchange one of me for the two of you!"

Yan Ruyu laughed happily: "Who said that the two of us will definitely die?"

"Princess, you may not know, right? These people are all death warriors. Once they receive an order, they will not give up until the mission is completed," Madam Wu said proudly, "They are specially trained death warriors."

"Even the King of Zhennan might not be his opponent."

Blood dripped from the tip of Huo Changhe's sword and soaked into the snow, the contrast between white and red was extremely dazzling.

"I have never said that I am invincible, but these few people want to kill me. They really underestimate me."

Madam Wu smiled and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can give it a try."

Huo Changhe no longer paid attention to her, and whispered to Yan Ruyu, who was leaning back against him, “Be careful, these people are indeed unusual.”

"I have an impression of their clothes and masks."

"Who is it?"

"It is a cult force that has been active in the border areas in the past few years."

Yan Ruyu felt a little depressed. Cult?

From ancient times to the present, these are forces that are extremely difficult to eliminate.

Is Mr. Mo colluding with these people?

At this moment, one of the men in black raised his arm and the others quickly moved towards him.

Madam Wu said with a smile: "They are setting up a battle formation. Once the battle formation is completed, it will be difficult for you two to escape!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white feather arrow flew through the air!
