Rong Heqing shot the second arrow immediately afterwards.

The killer locked his eyes on her, raised his knife to block the hidden arrow, and with his other hand he took out a dagger and was about to stab Rong Heqing in the eyes.

At the critical moment, Pojun put his arms around Rong Heqing's neck from behind and brought him into his arms. He grabbed the killer's wrist, twisted it back and exerted force, and a "click" sounded.

"Ahhhh-"

The killer's screams echoed through the heavens and earth.

Rong Heqing's hair stood up all over his body. It looked so painful.

Po Jun let her go and said, "Get out of the way."

She subconsciously stepped aside and saw Pojun pulling the man down from the roof of the car and cutting his neck with a knife.

Hot blood spurted out, Pojun dodged in time, but was still splashed with some.

Su Yuwan's face turned even paler, completely bloodless, and she turned her head and vomited.

Rong Heqing quickly patted her on the back and said, "If it doesn't work, just close your eyes."

Su Yuwan shook her head, her whole body was shaking, and her hands were frighteningly cold.

999: [Host, she should be suffering from post-traumatic stress. ]

Rong Heqing gritted his teeth, [How can I not be stressed? I think it's a miracle that she is still alive today, she is already strong enough. ]

The sounds of fighting came one after another, the sound of swords rubbing against each other made people's scalps numb, and the smell of blood rose to the sky, making people feel nauseous.

They stood and retreated, leaving the central encirclement. Pojun and Chu Suifeng were both blood-thirsty, and blood was dripping down their robes, either theirs or the enemy's.

Ronghe's Qingxiu arrows also missed, and he picked up the killer's sword from the ground. It turned out that the killer was not dead yet. He opened his eyes and tried to launch a sneak attack, but Su Yuwan saw him and stabbed him in the abdomen with a dagger.

One stab was not enough, and she was afraid that the man would not die, so she stabbed him many times in a row, almost piercing him into a sieve.

Rong Heqing saw that she seemed to be in a trance, so he quickly pulled her up and said, "Okay, okay, she's dead."

Su Yuwan trembled and asked, "Dead?"

"Dead." Rong Heqing touched her face firmly and wiped away the blood that splashed on the corner of her eyes.

Su Yuwan laughed softly, and then burst into tears.

Ronghe Qingzhen was really afraid that she would faint at the next moment.

The ground suddenly began to shake. She was startled, thinking that she had exerted too much energy and was too nervous, causing hallucinations. However, after a while, the shaking became more and more obvious, and she realized that it was not an hallucination, but someone was coming!

She supported Su Yuwan with her sword and helped her to stand up. Then she saw a cloud of dust rising from behind and someone riding a horse towards them.

I just don’t know if it’s an enemy or a friend.

Soon, the face of the person on the horse became clearer.

Rong Heqing took a closer look and was overjoyed, "Guan Zhen?!"

Guan Zhen immediately waved his hand when he heard this, "Princess! Your subordinate is here!"

"Yuwan, our reinforcements have arrived! We've been waiting for them." Rong Heqing said excitedly to Su Yuwan.

Su Yuwan smiled, "Really... good..."

Then he fell down limply.

Rong Heqing was startled, "Yuwan——"

"Donor, please come this way——"

The gray-robed monk led the way, and Liang Changjin followed closely behind, "Thank you, Master."

They meandered up the bluestone path, the bustling voices left behind, gradually becoming inaudible.

The pines and cypresses in the mountains stood tall, silently gazing at the two uninvited guests.

After a long while, the monk stopped in front of an ancient courtyard, took out the key, unlocked it, and said to Liang Changjin, "The Duke's wife's eternal lamp and the Buddha oil lamp offered to the young lady are inside. Please go in, sir."

Liang Changjin nodded, pushed the door open and walked in.

This yard doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's a different world inside.

The courtyard was very clean and planted with plum trees. After crossing the stone road, there was a very spacious hall at the back. Buddha and Bodhisattva were enshrined in the hall. There was a tablet and two oil lamps on the altar.

There is a small incense burner in front of each oil lamp.

There is a cushion in front of the altar, which looks quite old.

Liang Changjin walked forward slowly, glanced at the tablet and the two lamps, and pursed his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes.

He took the incense sticks from one side and inserted them into the two incense burners. He held the tablet in the middle and turned it hard. With a "click", a secret compartment popped out under the lotus seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He narrowed his eyes, walked over, leaned over, took out an account book from the secret compartment, and opened it casually.

This is a detailed list of bribes received by Duke Rong over the years, and it clearly lists which officials he has had transactions with.

This is not only evidence of guilt, but also a handle.

Liang Changjin exhaled slowly, put the account book in his arms, restored the mechanism, and looked up at the golden Buddha in the center of the hall.

"If a person who has committed so many evil things can live so comfortably, it shows that even the Buddha may not be spiritual. Since the gods and Buddhas are unwilling to save me, I will save myself."

After saying that, he turned and walked away.

After leaving the courtyard, the monk whispered, "Did you get the things, benefactor?"

Liang Changjin curled his lips and smiled, "I got it."

"Then let's go." The monk turned around and went down first. The two of them went down the mountain one after the other, but when they reached the bend, the monk in front suddenly stopped moving.

Liang Changjin was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The monk didn't answer. Liang Changjin's heart skipped a beat. He reached out and patted the monk's shoulder, and the monk suddenly fell down.

Liang Changjin's eyes trembled.

Before he could move, there was a sudden commotion in the woods, followed by several dark shadows that fell and surrounded him without saying a word.

"who?!"

Liang Changjin subconsciously stepped back, but there was only a small space on the bluestone slab, and if he retreated any further he would roll down the hillside.

He just stopped and looked at the person coming warily.

"Here comes someone to kill you!"

As he spoke, the killer pounced on him. Liang Changjin dodged the attack but was scratched on the arm by another man.

As the severe pain came over him, he suddenly realized that these people might have been lying in ambush here for a long time, deliberately waiting for him to get the account book before coming out.

Not only do they want him dead, they also want what's in his hand!

After realizing this, he gritted his teeth and made a prompt decision to jump down the hillside.

"Oh no, he's trying to run, chase him!" The killer also jumped down.

The hillside was covered with vegetation, and Liang Changjin rolled all the way down, breaking a lot of things. He protected his head and face, his hands were cut and bloodied, and his body was in pain.

But he had no time to care about that, as the killer was chasing him closely.

Finally, he crashed into a thick tree and was forced to stop. The pain was so severe that he saw black spots in front of his eyes. He turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"what sound?"

"Girl, there seems to be someone in front of you——"

Liang Changjin suddenly felt hopeful, turned over with great effort, and lay on the ground, shouting, "Help—"

"Go and see."

The footsteps were getting closer. Liang Changjin looked up and saw that the person coming was a girl in a pink skirt and a veil, followed by a maid and a guard.

"Miss, help me—"

He couldn't help but spit out blood again. The maid was shocked and asked, "Miss, what should we do?"

The girl squatted down and asked with concern: "Are you okay? How did you get like this?"

"Be careful! Keep your head down—"

A loud shout came from below, the girl leaned over and held Liang Changjin down, lowered her head, and with a "whoosh", something flew past her bun.

With a "clang" sound, her jade hairpin broke, and her long hair suddenly fell down like water and landed on Liang Changjin.

"Who?!" The guard reacted and drew his sword to block in front of them.
