Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xue's tense heartstrings finally relaxed.

She gently placed her hand on Xiao Zhan's big hand and smiled at him gratefully. She understood that his tough attitude towards his senior brother just now was entirely out of consideration for her safety.

"Okay, brother, your wound has just stopped bleeding. Don't get excited, otherwise the wound will split again. If you continue like this, even if I am a god in heaven, I can't help a disobedient person." Jiang Xue reminded him gently while carefully re-bandaging his wound.

Si Ruochen looked at her junior sister with a hint of apology, realizing that her impulsiveness almost made her efforts go to waste. "I know I was wrong."

"You should have a good rest. Brother Qiu, in my current condition, it may not be convenient for me to be alone at night. I wonder if you can..." Jiang Xue turned to Qiu Qianhuan and asked.

"Princess Changle, please rest assured. I will stay here and take good care of Your Highness." Qiu Qianhuan put down the weapon in his hand and nodded in agreement.

"Based on Si Ruochen's condition, we need to slow down our journey." Xiao Zhan said after closing the door.

The bumps in the carriage might cause the wound to rupture again, and he didn't want to see Xiaoxue overexert herself for treatment.

"It doesn't matter. Since Shangguan Jin's men are following us, it's not wise to go directly to Changle Mountain. We can take this opportunity to stay here for a few days and adjust ourselves." Jiang Xue said, her eyes falling on a bottle of medicine and two bayonets on the table. The waiter's movements were indeed quick.

"This weapon is not common in this country." She picked up a bayonet and tried it a few times, but found it was not easy to use.

"Ding Tu always likes to be different, even when choosing weapons." Xiao Zhan took the bayonet, gripped it tightly, and swung it lightly, and the potted plant by the door was neatly cut in half.

"When did you learn this trick?" Jiang Xue looked at him in surprise. Xiao Zhan's skills could actually rival Ding Tu's!

"When I was a child in Putuo Temple, there was a master who taught me there." Xiao Zhan replied.

Xiao Zhan put down the bayonet in his hand and said calmly: "This thing reminds me of some unpleasant past events."

Once, when he was in Putuo Temple, he was chased by Xiao Yan many times. At that time, his martial arts skills were still rudimentary, and an assassin used this bayonet to leave a deep wound on his waist, which made him lie in bed for three months before he recovered.

Later, in order to enable him to resist attacks from various weapons, the master specially taught him the skills to use all the weapons.

"What is this?" Xiao Zhan asked, pointing at the porcelain bottle in her hand.

"I asked the waiter to help collect the poison on the bayonet." Jiang Xue lifted the red cloth on the bottle and took a light sniff.

"Arisaema..." Her brows were furrowed and her expression became extremely serious.

Ding Tu was indeed ruthless. Arisaema is extremely toxic. Once it comes into contact with the skin, it will cause ulcers. If it enters the body, it will cause paralysis and even difficulty breathing. If it weren't for the timely treatment by the senior brother, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, a loud noise was heard from the dense forest ten miles outside the inn.

The moonlight was cold, as if covering the leaves with a deadly frost.

A blood-covered figure walked out from the depths of the woods.

Ding Tu's clothes were soaked in blood, and his pale face was covered in blood. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light. "Interesting! I finally got to learn the Changle Five Poison Technique today!"

Ding Tu complained: "That black python is really hard to deal with. I am covered in snake blood. It is really uncomfortable."

He tried to wipe the blood off his face, but because his sleeves were also stained with blood, his face looked even more disheveled.

Not far away, a woodcutter walked by carrying firewood, and Ding Tu showed an evil smile.

After a scream, Ding Tu appeared wearing the clothes of a woodcutter, with a bloody hand of the woodcutter vaguely visible behind him.

"This clothing is really rough." Ding Tu looked at the coarse cloth on his body with dissatisfaction, "Forget it, just wear it for now and change it when I get back."

With his eyes flashing with fanaticism, he said to himself: "Next, it's time to retrieve my weapon."

Princess Changle, you have stained my clothes with blood. How should I punish you?

"This is the number of assassins?" Jiang Xue asked with her arms folded.

Just at breakfast time, another group of assassins tried to attack Si Ruochen, but they were all dealt with by Qiu Qianhuan who was guarding nearby.

I have to say that Qiu Qianhuan is much more reliable than the guards in the palace.

Looking at the bodies being dragged out, Jiang Xue couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

These assassins sent by Yingxia Kingdom were really relentless and kept attacking for three consecutive days.

"If we count Ding Tu's time, this is the tenth wave." Xiao Zhan joked, "It's just like three meals a day, which is very punctual. It keeps people busy for a moment."

They handled the initial attack very cleanly, and Si Ruochen had been staying in the room and not showing up in the past few days.

Logically, outsiders should not know of his existence. So where did these waves of assassins get the news?

"Princess, are you wondering who leaked His Highness's whereabouts?" Qiu Qianhuan walked forward and said, cleaning the blood stains on the blade.

"Are you going to turn yourself in?" Jiang Xue asked half-jokingly. In the past few days, Qiu Qianhuan's meticulous care for his senior brother made her, the junior sister, feel ashamed, so this sentence was naturally a joke.

"Princess, you are really good at joking." Qiu Qianhuan smiled and responded, "Ding Tu is not an ordinary person. He is more difficult to deal with than a rat in the sewer. The black python you summoned with the Five Poisons may not be his match."

"Is that so?" Jiang Xue put down her arms. "So, these people are Ding Tu's men?"

It seems that Ding Tu is more difficult to deal with than she thought. "They are acting so frequently, I'm afraid Ding Tu will come to us in person soon."

Qiu Qianhuan said: "Although your highness's body has not fully recovered, I think we must leave now."

After three days of rest, Si Ruochen's condition improved.

However, as a doctor, Jiang Xue knew that he could not withstand the long journey.

Jiang Xue caught a glimpse of a Beixi spy passing by the stable, and she already had an idea in her mind.

"There is a secret path at the bottom of the valley that leads directly to Changle Mountain. Brother Qiu, you can take the brothers from there." Since Shangguan Jin's men will only follow her, let them act separately.

"Princess, have you really decided to act this way?" Qiu Qianhuan asked, "Actually, I can go and deal with those people."

“After you deal with this wave, there will be another wave. These people are just ordinary people with strong martial arts skills, but the next batch may be cultivators. Yun Che and I have already figured out their details. Why not let them follow behind? Maybe we can get some information about Hu Yin from them.”

She kept these people not without a plan.
