Chapter 188 I want to follow you
The spies that the Third and Fourth Princes had planted inside the Luo Family Army also smelled something unusual! Since leaving the capital, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has disappeared without a trace. People have been sent to look for him several times but all have returned empty-handed. They never expected that he would actually hide among them in disguise as an insignificant scout!
At the same time, the rest of the group also took action. Just as Luo Jing was trying his best to find the whereabouts of the King of Qin, he encountered a group of black-clad people with strange movements on the way. In an instant, swords and shadows crossed, and a fierce battle broke out. After several rounds of fighting, Luo Jing suddenly realized that these opponents were carefully trained desperadoes.
After a fierce fight, Luo Jing shouted anxiously to his deputy general: "No! The identity of the King of Qin has been exposed! We must find the King of Qin before these desperate criminals!"
At the same time, Nanzhi followed Chu Chengjin closely out of the cave. Chu Chengjin looked at her and said firmly: "When we return to the garrison, I will ask Marshal Luo to send someone to escort you back to Youli."
However, Nanzhi shook her head and refused. She responded with a firm look: "I don't want to go back! I want to stay in Beiyuan! I have heard that once summer is over, Beiyuan will be covered with white snow! And in Youli, I have never seen the snow scene with my own eyes! So, I want to follow you! I am eager to experience the mysterious snow mountain in person!"
Hearing Nanzhi's words, Chu Chengjin couldn't help but frowned and said worriedly: "This place is where the border troops are stationed, full of endless dangers! What's more, as a woman, how can you stay in the military camp for a long time?"
Facing Chu Chengjin's concerns, Nanzhi smiled slightly and answered confidently: "You don't have to worry about this! I can disguise myself as an ordinary soldier through the art of disguise, and then follow you quietly!"
At this moment, Chu Chengjin turned around suddenly! As if he had expected this scene, he hugged Nanzhi tightly in his arms without hesitation, and rolled into the dense grass together!
And right where they were standing, they were shot by several extremely sharp arrows in an instant, deeply embedded in the soil! These arrows came fiercely and densely, if Chu Chengjin hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid the two of them would have died by now.
Before Nanzhi could recover from the shock, he saw a group of figures dressed in black, moving as agilely as ghosts, rushing towards them! Obviously, this group of people were well-trained assassins!
Nanzhi suddenly came to her senses. She quickly broke free from Chu Chengjin's warm and generous embrace, then fumbled around in her pockets and finally pulled out a packet of poison powder. Without hesitation, she threw the poison powder at the vicious men in black...
Something unexpected happened! The unfortunate people in black who were caught in the attack suddenly seemed to be under a spell. They held each other's hands tightly and began to dance wildly and weirdly... Their bodies twisted and swayed, and their movements were exaggerated and funny, as if they had completely lost control of their own actions.
Chu Chengjin's eyes widened in shock. He raised his eyebrows and asked in disbelief: "Nanzhi, are you sure that what you sprinkled was poison powder?" There was a hint of doubt and confusion in his voice.
Nanzhi scratched his head awkwardly, a shy blush appeared on his face, and hesitantly replied: "Well... Actually, this is the medicine powder I secretly took from the Great Protector. I don't know what it is..." His words were full of apology and embarrassment.
Seeing that these men in black had all been poisoned by Nanzhi, Chu Chengjin grabbed her hand and ran towards the Beiyuan garrison.
Along the way, the two did not stop for a moment, but fate always seemed to like to play tricks on people. Just when they were about to reach their destination, they encountered another group of assassins who came to assassinate them! This group of enemies was numerous and aggressive. Although Chu Chengjin was highly skilled in martial arts, he had to protect Nanzhi, who only knew some fancy moves, and it was difficult for him to withstand the siege of so many powerful enemies. As time passed, Chu Chengjin began to feel exhausted...
He shouted to Nanzhi anxiously, "Their target is me, you better escape by yourself!"
Nanzhi heard this, not only did she not leave, but she shouted: "I don't want to leave! You are Luo Lingyue's cousin, and Luo Lingyue will become my sister-in-law in the future. In other words, you are my cousin! How could I, Nanzhi, abandon the lives of my relatives? Don't worry! As long as I am here, nothing will happen to you!"
After saying this, Nanzhi gritted her teeth, reached out from her sleeve and took out an exquisite jade box. She quickly opened the jade box and threw it out.
The next moment, a huge spider emitting a faint blue light flew out of the jade box. The spider was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it landed steadily on the neck of a dead soldier, then opened its mouth and bit the dead soldier fiercely.
The face of the bitten soldier suddenly changed, and the skin on his face and neck instantly turned into a strange blue. Then, the skin on his hands also began to change, turning into the same frightening blue.
At this moment, the assassin suddenly turned around and rushed towards his companions as if he had gone mad. He hugged one of them tightly, opened his mouth full of fangs, and bit the man's neck without hesitation!
The body of the bitten person was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, he became a strange person emitting a faint blue light. Nanzhi panicked and took out two bright red pills from his arms, handed one to Chu Chengjin without hesitation, and quickly put the other into his mouth and swallowed it.
Chu Chengjin took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation, then looked at Nanzhi nervously and asked, "Nanzhi, what on earth is this?"
Nanzhi showed a trace of sadness and frustration on her face, and replied in a low voice: "This is the treasure left to me by my father - the blue spider! When I encounter danger, it can save my life! It's a pity... once it bites someone and releases the toxin, I will die... and this pill can only be used once in a lifetime!"
Chu Chengjin was silent after hearing this, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he suddenly broke the silence and said to Nanzhi firmly: "Don't worry, Nanzhi. I will definitely find another blue spider for you in the future!"
Nanzhi smiled slightly, but her eyes were full of solemnity. She shook her head and said jokingly, "Are you kidding? This blue spider is a treasure unique to our Youli Country! Are you planning to go to Youli Country with me?"
However, to Nanzhi's surprise, Chu Chengjin also smiled and responded firmly, "Why not?"
