More than a dozen masked men in black holding swords jumped out from behind the rockery like ghosts, pointing their swords at King Zhao and Yun Buhui. Like the best hunter pounced on his prey, King Zhao swung Yun Buhui into his.
Behind him, he held one of the swords and slid it to the bottom and twisted it. The sword changed direction, and the killer swept his lower body. King Zhao jumped up with the sword, already holding the killer, and clasped his neck from behind with one hand and twisted it.
With a wave of his sword, he avoided a masked killer who was killing Xiang Yun Buhui.
Bingyue and Zhou Zheng also pulled out their weapons and fought with the masked men in black. King Zhao held Yun Buhui's hand and protected her safely by his side. The two of them found an opening and slashed at them with their swords.
King Zhao quickly let go of Yun Buhui's hand. Seeing that this was the woman King Zhao was protecting, the other person immediately pounced on her. King Zhao shrank his eyes, and two of the men in black held him up, one on the left and the other on the right.
This group of masked men had obviously been strictly trained, and they were very vicious. Their target was King Zhao. Once King Zhao failed, three people stopped Zhou Zheng and Bingyue, and the rest rushed towards King Zhao. His situation was obvious.
Serious, and worried about Yun Buhui, his arm was injured by the sword when he was distracted.
Zhou Zheng was so anxious that he tried his best to run over to save the siege, but was surrounded by two people. Yun Buhui was forced back by one of them. She was weak and had only learned some hidden weapons. Her fist and kick skills were not worth mentioning.
Such a well-trained killer is insignificant in comparison. The man didn't intend to kill her, he just wanted to use her as a bargaining chip. His attack was not very vicious, and Yun Buhui avoided it skillfully.
King Zhao brought down four masked men, whose bodies were stained with the blood of the killers. He suddenly became violent and grabbed another sword. He swung the sword with both hands, both offensively and defensively. These killers couldn't find any space to kill him.
One of them saw that King Zhao's only weakness was Yun Buhui, so the sword suddenly changed direction and pointed directly at Yun Buhui.
"Buhui!" King Zhao shouted, angrily tore through the siege and rushed towards Yun Buhui. Yun Buhui subconsciously raised his hand. That person was careless. Yun Buhui kept avoiding it and had no skills. He thought she didn't have the skills.
Threatening, carelessly, those silver needles were shot into the chest, and the man fell to the ground. The other person slashed at Yun Buhui angrily. She swept out a row of silver needles. The man was well prepared and quickly avoided it. The sword approached Yun Buhui.
Buhui throat, she stepped back repeatedly, King Zhao's sword was inserted straight into the killer's chest from behind, blood spurted on Yun Buhui's face, the man stared at Yun Buhui with wide eyes, she suddenly panicked and stepped back on a stone
He fell down, his body fell on the mouth of the well, and actually fell into the dry well.
"Miss..." Bingyue exclaimed. King Zhao turned around and stabbed one person with his sword. His bodyguards also came after him. King Zhao's bloody sword pointed at them, "Leave no one alive. No one is allowed to escape."
Walk."
Bingyue rushed to the edge of the well and shouted to Yun Buhui, but there was no response. The well was very deep and could not be seen to the bottom. It was so dark that she could not see anything. Bingyue was anxious and wanted to jump down, but King Zhao held her back...
What should I do if I jump like this and step on Yun Buhui?
King Zhao's bodyguard quickly controlled the situation. Four people were captured alive. Three of them bit out the poison in their mouths and committed suicide by taking the poison. Zhou Zheng cleverly stuffed a piece of wood in the mouth of the last person to prevent him from taking the poison. King Zhao
Looking at him coldly, he ordered Zhou Zheng to be locked up in the dungeon for interrogation.
"My lord, I want to go down and rescue my young lady..." Bingyue said anxiously. King Zhao turned around and asked the captain of the guard to bring a rope. Bingyue wanted to go down, but King Zhao ignored her and climbed the rope along the wall of the well.
Climb down.
This was a dry well, the walls of which were covered with moss. King Zhao climbed to the bottom of the well smoothly.
Yun Buhui fell to the bottom of the well. Fortunately, she didn't get hit. She was unconscious and suffered no external injuries. King Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, picked her up and called her name softly. Yun Buhui slowly woke up and felt uncomfortable.
After coughing a few times, King Zhao gently patted her back.
"It's okay, I'll carry you up now." King Zhao said, Bingyue kept shouting from above, King Zhao said, "Your little maid is really like a magpie."
Yun Buhui smiled, supported his waist with one hand and raised his head and said, "Bingyue, I'm fine."
Bingyue finally calmed down. King Zhao saw that her posture was wrong and asked her what was wrong. Yun Buhui said, "The stone hit her lower back."
She touched some moist liquid and realized that it was bleeding, but it didn't feel serious. King Zhao wanted to check, but Yun Buhui hurriedly got out of the way. He looked at her awkwardly. He didn't expect so much at the moment and was a little embarrassed.
Explain, "Sorry, we were injured on the battlefield, usually..."
"No need to explain, I understand." Yun Buhui said, the relationship between men and women does not exist in his life. If it were a battlefield, he would not hesitate to save his soldiers. Yun Buhui suddenly screamed, "Ah...
"
King Zhao hurriedly hugged her. Yun Buhui closed his eyes and hid in his arms, trembling. King Zhao turned around and saw a set of bones at the mouth of the well. They were white and the person seemed to have been dead for many years. King Zhao patted them.
Yun Buhui's shoulder said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a skeleton. I'm here."
Yun Buhui opened his eyes and looked at the skeleton. King Zhao pursed his lips and said, "This is the Royal Courtyard. Who will die here?"
"It is normal for a palace maid or eunuch to die in the palace." Yun Buhui said.
King Zhao said, "No, if someone is missing from the palace, there will be records with the eunuch chief. I saw it a few days ago and no one has gone missing in this courtyard, unless it is not a palace maid from another courtyard."
"There seems to be something next to her." Yun Buhui pointed to a box next to the skeleton. King Zhao went over and picked it up. It looked like a jewelry box. Yun Buhui looked closer curiously. King Zhao looked at her and opened it.
It was some jewelry. King Zhao was confused, "Isn't this my mother's jewelry?"
Yun Buhui looked at him in surprise. His mother passed away when King Zhao was still a baby. How could he remember his mother? King Zhao said, "My father always took my mother's jewelry and told me about my mother."
He told me how my mother died, told me about my mother, and told me..."
He suddenly stopped talking, and Yun Bugui asked hesitantly, "He also told you to take revenge?"
King Zhao suddenly looked at her sternly. Yun Buhui fell silent. King Zhao looked away and did not deny it. Yun Buhui changed the topic, "Why is your mother's jewelry box here?"
Yun Buhui took the jewelry box, and it turned out to be from the other side. There was a letter underneath. She didn't dare to open it privately and give her heart to King Zhao. Bingyue asked her why she hadn't come up yet. Yun Buhui said, "Bingyue
, please stop shouting and wait."
King Zhao tore it open and found two letters. After so many years, the rice paper was a little yellowed, but the handwriting was still clear. King Zhao murmured to himself, this is my mother's handwriting...
