A cold light flashed in the woman's eyes, and she stood still.
next moment.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The images of more than a dozen people were like ghosts, appearing in the rainy night and surrounding the pavilion from all sides.
They wore black night clothes, hats on their heads, covered their faces with black cloth, and looked at the woman in the pavilion with cold eyes.
In each person's hand, there was a dagger, shining with cold light.
assassin!
The woman did not panic and glanced at the assassins calmly, without any wavering on her face.
"Little girl, don't you ask who we are?"
The leader of the assassin said with a sinister smile.
The woman said calmly, "A group of rats who don't even dare to show their true colors. What do you have to ask?"
"Oh, I didn't realize that a little girl actually has such courage. Not bad, not bad." The leader of the assassin changed his voice and said, "What a pity, you are going to die soon."
"To be honest, seeing how beautiful you are, I can't bear to kill you. You are from the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman.
"Are you assassins, or are you just a mother-in-law? Are you talking so much nonsense?"
As soon as this was said, the assassins were furious.
"How dare you speak to us in such a tone. Do you not want to live anymore?"
"It's a shame that a little girl dares to ridicule us."
"Kill her!"
"..."
Facing the angry shouts of the assassins, the woman's face remained calm, a little too calm.
"If you want to kill me, please do it quickly, otherwise you will have no chance when my guards arrive."
The leader of the assassin heard her words and sneered, "I have seen people who want to die, but I have never seen someone who can't wait to die like you. In that case, I will give you a ride."
<
br> "Little girl, farewell."
After saying that, the assassin held the dagger and rushed toward the woman. Suddenly, the dagger released an icy murderous aura, as cold as frost, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped to subzero.
The woman's right hand, which was hidden in the cuff, was quietly clenched, and her eyes became sharp at this moment.
Seeing that the assassin was approaching the woman, unexpectedly something happened at this moment.
"call out!"
A sword energy suddenly appeared and pierced the assassin's eyebrows. In an instant, the assassin fell to the ground and died with his eyes open.
"who?"
The other assassins were shocked and quickly looked behind the woman.
The woman was also a little strange. She looked back, and then there was surprise in her eyes.
"How could it be him?"
The woman looked surprised.
The person who took action was none other than Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu was dressed in white and looked as rich as jade. He walked slowly towards this side with his hands behind his back.
"who are you?"
An assassin shouted sharply.
As if he didn't hear anything, Ye Qiu walked to the woman's side and asked with concern, "Miss Rou'er, are you okay?"
The woman shook her head.
"It's fine." Ye Qiu glanced at the assassins and said with disdain, "You guys, you guys are actually dealing with a weak woman, why are you so shameless?"
"Who are you?" one of the assassins shouted.
Ye Qiu said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that I can't see so many of you bullying a woman, so... keep your life!"
The sound falls
At the same time, Ye Qiu had already taken action, sword energy bursting out from his fingers.
"咻咻咻——"
These people were only at the peak of Nascent Soul, and the gap between them and Ye Qiu was so great that they didn't even have a chance to escape.
In the blink of an eye, a dozen killers were all pierced between their brows by sword energy and fell to the ground dead.
After dealing with these killers, Ye Qiu said with a smile, "Okay, Miss Rou'er, the trouble is solved, go back to your room and rest!"
The woman stood there without moving and asked, "Mr. Ye, thank you for saving me."
"It's nothing to worry about." Ye Qiu warned, "You'd better be careful when you go out from now on." .??.
"Yes." The woman hummed softly and asked, "Mr. Ye, didn't you go back to your room? Why did you come back again? Could it be that you sensed that I was in danger and came back to save me?"
Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Miss Rou'er, you misunderstood. I didn't come to save you specially. I just left in a hurry and suddenly remembered that it was windy here. I was afraid that you would catch a cold. I was going to come back to remind you to go back to your room to rest early. Who knows?"
I encountered this scene.”
"Fortunately, it came in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
"Miss Rou'er, I didn't scare you, did I?"
The woman noticed that when Ye Qiu spoke, his tone was sincere and his eyes were clear, and he did not want to lie.
"Am I overthinking it?"
The woman patted Ma Pingchuan on the chest and said with lingering fear, "I was almost frightened just now. Fortunately you are here."
"It's all over, it's okay." After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he took a step forward and appeared twenty meters away. He picked a peach blossom from the corner of the wall like lightning, handed it to the woman, and said, "Da Zhou has nothing but a gift for you."
fragrant."
The woman was not pretentious and reached out to take it, holding the peach blossom and saying regretfully, "Mr. Ye, although the peach blossom is very beautiful, don't you think it's a pity to break it?"
Ye Qiu
He smiled and said, "There is a saying that when flowers are in bloom, they must be cut off immediately. Don't wait until there are no flowers and break branches. There is nothing more appropriate than giving flowers to a beautiful woman."
Hearing this, the woman's face turned slightly red, and in order to prevent Ye Qiu from noticing her strangeness, she quickly lowered her head.
Just at this moment, his guards arrived.
Seeing the corpses on the ground, the old man asked nervously, "Miss, are you okay?"
The woman shook her head, "I'm fine."
"Who is this young master?" The old man's eyes fell on Ye Qiu.
"Oh, Uncle Zhu, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Ye Qiuye. An assassin wanted to kill me just now, but he saved me." The woman then introduced the old man to Ye Qiu. "Mr. Ye, this is Uncle Zhu."
Uncle Zhu's face was full of smiles and he said gratefully, "Mr. Ye, thank you for saving the young lady."
"Uncle Zhu, you're welcome." Ye Qiu said, "Miss Rou'er, it's getting late. I'll go back to my room to rest first. Good night."
The woman nodded gently "Good night."
She kept watching Ye Qiu's figure disappear, without looking back for a long time.
As soon as Ye Qiu left, Uncle Zhu and the four guards knelt in front of the woman.
"Miss, please punish me for our poor protection," Uncle Zhu said.
The woman looked away and said kindly, "Uncle Zhu, I don't blame you for this. Besides, am I fine?"
Uncle Zhu said, "But..."
"Okay, you all get up!" Although the woman's tone was gentle, it was full of unquestionable majesty.
Uncle Zhu and the four guards stood up.
"Miss, do you want me to check the origins of these assassins?" Uncle Zhu asked.
"No need to waste time on dead people." After the woman finished speaking, she glanced at the peach blossom in her hand, smiled, and turned around to leave.
