Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

Gu Qingzhi didn't expect that something like this would happen when she saw this totem again.

But what exactly did this black snake head represent? Why did it suddenly disappear? And why had she never seen it in her previous life?

She looked through several other people and didn't see the totem on them anymore. She didn't know if they had never had it in the first place or if it had disappeared after their death.

Gu Qingzhi picked up the Lanzhou and wiped the blade. For some reason, she always felt that something was a little strange about what happened today.

The Zuo family father and son have been silent for these days. It is impossible that they are planning to kill these maids and servants, and they specifically choose the day when they go out to buy. Isn't it a waste of time and effort to achieve a goal that is far away?

She seemed to have grasped the point and repeated, "I picked out the days to buy..."

She stood up suddenly. Could it be that they took advantage of the fact that they withheld the money for charcoal, causing Feng Zhanye and Madam Liu to fall ill, and forced the people from the other courtyard to come out to buy charcoal, in order to pay out a part of the money so that they could take action against the rest?

Oh no! Feng Zhanye is in danger!

Gu Qingzhi was shocked and ran out of the alley in a hurry.

Running all the way back to the gate of the villa, Gu Qingzhi saw that it was quiet. Usually there was always a team of palace soldiers patrolling and guarding here in twos and threes, but now it seemed obviously unusual.

Seeing this, she didn't intend to alert the enemy, so she went straight to the bamboo forest at the back, climbed over the wall and jumped into the yard.

The villa was very quiet at this time. She didn't care about much else and climbed directly onto the nearest roof and headed towards the back hall.

As soon as she approached the back hall, Gu Qingzhi clearly heard the sound of swords clashing coming from the house, as if someone was fighting inside.

She jumped down and found that the door seemed to be blocked by something from the inside. It was obvious that the people in the house didn't want people outside to come in, nor did they want people inside to come out.

Gu Qingzhi kicked the door three times before finally opening it, and discovered that it was blocked by a thick wooden board. There was no door board thicker than this in the entire villa.

She rushed into the room and saw Wu Fang holding a knife blocking the bed. Feng Zhanye was hiding in the corner on the couch, looking at the two men in black in front of Wu Fang with a pale face.

The clothes of these two men were different from those people Gu Qingzhi killed in the alley today. There were dark black patterns embroidered on their cuffs and collars. Both of them were wearing masks with green faces and fangs, so their appearance could not be identified.

Wu Fang's face was pale today, and he looked quite weak. Gu Qingzhi took a special look at him. From the cut clothes on his shoulder and the bloodstains, she could guess that he had injured his back.

When the two men in black saw Gu Qingzhi come in, they both looked at her sideways. They looked at each other, and one of them turned around and got ready.

Over there, Wu Fang blocked the black-clothed man's attack with his knife, gritted his teeth and fought with the black-clothed man while enduring the wound on his back. Here, Gu Qingzhi dodged sideways and went around behind the man.

The man facing her struck at the air but was not discouraged. He turned around and threw out several flying knives from somewhere.

She took out her Lanzhou to block one of the flying knives, pulled up her clothes, and used her feet to knock down the others one by one.

The reason why he didn't catch it with his hands was because the flying knife emitted a strange green light the moment it was thrown out, which was clearly a sign of poison. Gu Qingzhi used the sharp blade of the Lanzhou to pierce the buckle on the handle of the flying knife, unloaded the force and threw it back to the man.

The man was naturally not a pushover. He dodged and let the flying knife stick to the ground. At some point, a thin iron chain appeared in his hand.

Just as Gu Qingzhi was about to take action, the man in black on Wu Fang's side suddenly retracted his sword and stopped attacking him. Instead, he pulled out an iron chain from his sleeve and threw it towards Gu Qingzhi.

The two of them attacked her from the front and back at the same time, forcing her to block the blows with her hands. Suddenly, she heard Feng Zhanye exclaim, "Be careful! There are thorns on it!"

Wu Fang's back was injured by this thing. Although Feng Zhanye was sick and unable to get up, he was extremely worried that Gu Qingzhi would be injured.

It was a pity that he spoke a little too late. The moment Gu Qingzhi grabbed the chain, she felt something was wrong. The pricking sensation made her heart shudder, and she quickly pulled her hand away.

"Swish!" The sleeve of her clothes was scratched by the tiny spikes on the chain, but fortunately her winter clothes were thick enough so as not to hurt her skin.

Gu Qingzhi looked at the small blood spots on her hands and gradually felt that the situation between the two of them was becoming more difficult.

These two assassins are extremely experienced. The Zuo family father and son sent them out to deal with Feng Zhanye, probably with the intention of taking his life.

After two or three moves, Gu Qingzhi's sleeves were already pulled out of cotton wool by the iron chain. Taking advantage of her unpreparedness, the two men swung the iron chains, one wrapped around Lan Zhou in her hand, and the other wrapped around her neck.

Gu Qingzhi only had a dagger and was now restrained. She had no other choice but to sacrifice her other hand to resist.

"Azhi!" Feng Zhanye was so anxious that he wanted to go down barefoot to grab the chain for her, but Wu Fang's big hand grabbed his shoulder.

He shouted, "Guard Gu! Go ahead!" Then he threw the long sword in his hand out, and he completely blocked Feng Zhanye.

The knife came at the perfect time. Gu Qingzhi took the knife and cut the chain that was about to wrap around her neck with one knife. Without waiting for the man to react, she slashed at his chest.

With one slash of the knife, a long gash was opened on the chest of the man in black. He staggered back two steps, and the iron chain that was supposed to be wrapped around Gu Qingzhi was also wrapped around himself.

The spikes on the chain hooked his skin, and Gu Qingzhi also saw the black snake head tattoo on his chest that was cut by the knife. Thinking of the miserable state of the man just now, she cut his neck without waiting for him to struggle.

With one dead, the remaining one would not be able to do much. Gu Qingzhi and Wu Fang subdued him in two or three moves, but did not kill him on the spot. Instead, they put a knife to his neck, found a rope to tie him up and asked Wu Fang to keep him under guard.

She wanted to keep the person alive so that she could ask him about the strange tattoo.

After doing this, she went to check on the other people in the villa. Xianmei Xianman and two other servants were already dead beside the stone table and bench in front of their house. The flying knives on their necks confirmed that they died at the hands of the two assassins.

Fortunately, Nanny Liu was fine. It was probably because the two men saw that she was old and were not in a hurry to kill her.

When Gu Qingzhi found her, she was just drugged by a drug and fell asleep in her room. She was woken up by Gu Qingzhi in a daze, and only then did she realize such a big thing had happened in the courtyard.

At this time, Qiu Jiang and Qiu Hong came back with the servant. When they saw Xianmei Xianman's corpse, they were frightened.

Nanny Liu supported Feng Zhanye, still a little frightened. Fortunately, Wu Fang protected him very well, and Gu Qingzhi came back in time, so in the end he was not hurt at all.

Gu Qingzhi finally figured out the situation in the villa and wanted to go back to interrogate the assassin, but Wu Fang told him with a sullen face that he was not paying attention and allowed the man to successfully commit suicide by biting his tongue.

With no other options, Gu Qingzhi had to squat down and turn over their clothes. Sure enough, there was nothing left of the black snake head tattoo.

She had no time to comfort them. She had not been able to find any clues, which made her look a little irritated. Her face with dried blood spots was particularly cold. Feng Zhanye stared at her for a long time and did not dare to call her.
