After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight
Chapter 68 What's the point of being so noble
Chu Xi remained calm and composed in the face of such deadly moves. Even when he saw several strands of his hair being cut off, he was still able to calmly dodge, step on the knee of one of them, and fly onto the circular sword formation formed by them.
These people's sword formation is pretty good.
But after half a cup of tea, Chu Xi discovered a big problem with them. They were trying to trap her, and it was definitely not Chu Xi's idea to single any one of them out.
Even if the five of them were separated, they could still be killed one after another.
Chu Xi's ears moved slightly. She heard some noise, and the noise came from the roof. Several people flew up to the roof. These people were determined to kill Chu Xi.
Chu Xi knew that these people were just waiting for the assassins who had trapped him to leave, and then they would aim at him and shoot arrows.
She didn't intend to waste any more time, so she quickly selected the weakest of the five people, aimed at his wrist, pressed down hard with one hand, and used the other hand to slap his abdomen with her internal force.
Chu Xi used at least 60% of his internal strength in this move, which directly knocked the man flying and falling off the roof. He had already been hit in the abdomen and was seriously injured. After falling off the roof, he vomited blood on the spot and fell to the ground, unable to get up.
She took the sword from the opponent and quickly used a few sword moves created by her grandfather. These moves were mainly killing moves, and Chu Xi would not use them easily because once they were used... blood would be shed.
The first cut injured the left assassin's right wrist, tearing his tendons; the second cut was on his knee, forcing him to kneel down and unable to stand up.
Chu Xi disabled one assassin, and the other three attacked her. She flew over and kicked down two of them. Her sword moves were as fast as a phantom, so fast that people could not see clearly.
The Nalan clan's assassins all learned the swordsmanship created by the Nalan clan. Their swordsmanship is not too bad, at least second-rate.
The swordsmanship of the Nalan family is mainly based on assassination. They are swordsmen, and their main task is to complete missions by killing people.
In theory, such self-created sword moves are mainly used for killing, and they are full of murderous aura, so they shouldn't be too bad.
Unfortunately, they ran into Chu Xi. The moves created by the ancestors of the Chu family were already known for their lethality, and were later modified based on the old marquis' experience on the battlefield.
There are almost no flaws in these moves. Combined with good internal strength, the effects achieved are definitely not something that second-rate swordsmen like them can find flaws in.
Chu Xi crippled one, injured another who rolled off the roof, and the remaining three... were no match for her at all, and she didn't have time to retract her killing move, and her sword cut the necks of the three men.
The five mid-level assassins sent by the Nalan family have already died, and the remaining two have killed the people and are chasing in the direction where Zhou Yichen and the other two escaped.
The people of Western Chu realized that Chu Xi was difficult to deal with, so they shot two rounds of arrows, but could not touch a single corner of Chu Xi's clothes.
The two sides originally had their own ulterior motives when they joined forces, so how could they truly devote themselves wholeheartedly? While the Nalan family was fighting here, they were waiting behind to take advantage.
When Chu Xi's strength was exhausted by Nalan, they would shoot him to death with one arrow, thus preventing their own people from being killed by Chu Xi.
As a result, Nalan's swordsman was gone, and the people of Western Chu saw that the situation was not good. When they wanted to take action again, they were no match for Chu Xi.
Chu Xi didn't want to kill them all at once. She was still thinking about the men in black chasing Zhou Yichen away.
She originally thought that the people of Western Chu had joined forces with the Seventh Prince because she had embarrassed the Western Chu Prince in a fight before.
Now it seems that although the Fifth Prince of Western Chu was impulsive, his plan to kill himself was by no means a spur-of-the-moment idea. It just so happened that he was a thorn in the Seventh Prince's side, and when they joined forces, they hit it off.
Chu Xi knew that Western Chu was preparing for the war that would break out soon. The Great Zhou had not had a large-scale battle with other neighboring countries for many years. The military generals in the court were demoted or resigned.
The remaining ones are either like the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, which only has a bright and beautiful appearance, but in fact has long lost access to military power.
There are only three granddaughters among the grandchildren of Duke Wei, and Jiang Zhenyao is the eldest. Perhaps she has no longer been a threat in the eyes of His Majesty, so she can naturally continue to be used. However, we still need to be on guard against her.
The current emperor is not very capable, but he has replaced all his capable and wise ministers.
The rest were either disheartened or no longer cared about state affairs.
Chu Xi killed the two Western Chu people who rushed to her first, then quickly flew onto the roof and chose to turn her back to the direction Zhou Yichen left.
The Nalan swordsmen sent by the Seventh Prince were more difficult to deal with than the Western Chu people. She couldn't chase them at this time, and it would be easy for her to lead these Western Chu people along with her.
If you want to save Zhou Yichen, you must first get rid of the Xichu people behind you.
The leader sent by the Fifth Prince of Western Chu was the one who had fought with Chu Xi before. He had been hiding in the dark and did not want to get involved in this shady assassination.
Until... Chu Xi broke out and left, and the followers sent by the fifth prince reminded him anxiously.
"General Qi, we are acting on the orders of the Fifth Prince. If you continue to hesitate and delay, don't blame me for reporting your actions to the Fifth Prince."
Qi Minsong's eyes turned slightly cold.
Before the follower next to him could see clearly how he attacked, the tip of the sword had already pierced his chest, only half an inch away from piercing his clothes.
"It's not your turn to tell me what to do!" Qi Minsong suppressed his disgust. If he hadn't received an order from His Majesty, he would have to obey the Fifth Prince on this trip.
Not to mention coming out to assassinate, he wouldn't even go up to the previous ring.
It's really ridiculous that a military general does not defeat the enemy on the battlefield, but instead carries out assassinations in secret. For Qi Minsong, this deepens his disgust for the Fifth Prince all the time.
"General Qi, don't be angry. We are also working for the Fifth Prince. Why get angry? If we don't do our job well, we will be punished when we return. I am doing this for your own good." The follower was flexible and could change his expression very quickly.
Qi Minsong sneered. Facing such a sycophantic villain, he had no interest in arguing with him. He sheathed his sword, used his lightness skills, quickly flew onto the roof, and chased after him.
The follower watched Qi Minsong leave, his face changed slightly, he touched his chest, then made a sound of "Pooh", and smiled with disdain, "So what if I am a descendant of the Qi family? I still have to listen to the Fifth Prince. What's the point of being so noble?"
Qi Minsong had already flown to the roof and landed again, so of course he couldn't hear what was said.
Even if he heard it, he could do nothing about it. The Qi family had been loyal ministers for generations, and the people around him reminded him that the Qi family must be loyal to Western Chu and loyal to His Majesty.
There are villains everywhere. If he kills one, there will be another one.
He had not grown up since his father died in battle. The Qi family had been away from the court for seven or eight years. When they returned to the court, he... was not even as respectable as a personal eunuch of the fifth prince.
When people leave, the tea gets cold, that's the way the world is.
