Su Ningxin and the two of them, who lit fires unscrupulously in the manor, soon gained the favor of the secret guards, and were chased by more than thirty secret guards and fled.
Even the strongest people have their limits. Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan could only get pinned to the ground and hammered against so many secret guards, so they had no choice but to run away.
However, it is good news to have so many secret guards to deal with them. It proves that Gu Mingxi must have escaped smoothly. If Gu Mingxi and the others escape, Yang Xin will definitely send his servants and soldiers to search. Gu Mingxi, the secret guard was free.
In their original plan, Su Ningxin separated from them, dealt with the small group of secret guards by herself, and took the opportunity to go to the study to destroy the imperial edict, while Gu Mingxi and Lin Yue diverted most of the secret guards away, and then ran to He jumped into the river outside the manor and escaped.
Based on the comparison of the strength of the two parties, Gu Mingxi and the others would have probably sustained a lot of injuries when they jumped into the river. By then, they would be able to escape smoothly due to their ability to swim down the river and it would be difficult to see in the dark.
But now that Yang Bodang and Chu Luoye have joined, Gu Mingxi's side's combat strength has increased, and he probably won't even have to suffer injuries.
This approach is also to delay time. If the 'Emperor' Gu Mingxi is missing, then Yang Xin will definitely send many people to search for it, and will also pass the news to Prince Jing.
Prince Jing knew that although the assassination was unsuccessful, the emperor was also injured and missing, so he would definitely relax his vigilance and catch Chu Luojue, who was currently on his way back to the capital, by surprise.
"You go first, I'll delay for a while." Chu Jihan watched the pursuers behind him getting closer and closer, and said to Su Ningxin in a deep voice.
"Stop showing off."
Without giving Chu Jihan a chance to stop, Su Ningxin grabbed his collar and continued running forward.
Neither of them can deal with the dozens of secret guards behind them. If one person is left behind, they will only be beaten by a group. What's more, there are a steady stream of other secret guards around them who are rushing to support them. Once they stop, they can't even run away. .
[You still show off despite being defeated, do you want me to be widowed at a young age? Wait, isn't that exactly what I wanted?]
Chu Jihan: "..."
Although Su Ningxin was thinking this, she had no intention of letting go of Chu Jihan and letting him cut off the rear. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the secret guards behind them due to the interference of the secret guards in front of them, Su Ningxin suddenly felt Stopped.
"Let's go first." Su Ningxin said, but Chu Jihan was naturally unwilling to leave his wife behind and run away. What had he become? A notorious emperor
Seeing that Chu Jihan didn't leave, Su Ningxin didn't urge anything and quietly watched the secret guards waiting for them to approach.
When the secret guards saw the two people who had stopped, they immediately pounced on them with blood-red eyes. It's no wonder they were like this. Not only did they kill many people tonight, but they also let the assassination target escape. It really made them feel sad. He had suppressed his anger, and now that he had the opportunity to kill the two people in front of him, he naturally would not hold back.
Su Ningxin was waiting for this opportunity. At the moment when the secret guard was about to pounce, she raised her wrist, pressed the mechanism on the bracelet, and fired the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle.
A thousand extremely small but poisonous steel needles spurted out from the bracelet, immediately killing and injuring all the secret guards. The secret guard in front was wailing because of his injuries, which just blocked the advance of the secret guard behind, giving Su Ningxin and Chu Ji Han left time to escape.
This bracelet was a congratulatory gift from Gu Mingxi when Su Ningxin got married. Its power is incredible, especially its range-type damage effect, which bought the two of them enough time to escape at the critical moment.
It was not until dawn that Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan escaped from the pursuit of the secret guards, but at this time they no longer knew how far they had run in panic, let alone where they were.
"You rest here for a while. I'll look for any nearby villages and see how to get back to Fucheng." Chu Jihan said while bandaging the wound on Su Ningxin's hand.
The wound was just made with a concealed weapon. Although the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is very powerful, it also has a drawback, that is, it is only a one-time product, and because firing the steel needle requires a lot of force, as soon as the spring of the bracelet is activated, it will be damaged due to the force. It couldn't resist the impact and exploded.
Su Ningxin's hand was scratched because the bracelet exploded. She didn't pay attention when she ran away. When she got to a safe place, she discovered that there were several scratches that were deep enough to show the bone.
"You won't leave me here and never come back?" Su Ningxin said.
In fact, she said it casually to get rid of the embarrassment, and now she didn't know what to say.
If it was reasonable to say that Chu Jihan didn't know her identity before, now that she had exposed the bracelet she had been wearing, if Chu Jihan still couldn't guess her identity, then Su Ningxin would doubt Chu Jihan Han is a fake secret guard.
When Chu Jihan heard these words, he raised his head and looked into Su Ningxin's eyes. He lowered his head and finished the last steps of the bazaar. He did not leave to find the village chief, but sat next to Su Ningxin.
After a moment of silence, Chu Jihan asked, "When did you join the secret guard?"
Su Ningxin did not hide anything, "When I was six years old, the boss approached me. I had no status in the family and was not taken seriously, so I agreed."
Although Su Ningxin didn't lie, she didn't tell the whole truth. She didn't say that Gu Mingxi came to her because she knew her in her previous life, nor did she say that she intended to change her destiny, even if Gu Mingxi didn't come to her. , I will also go to the Queen Mother myself.
Chu Jihan didn't look at Su Ningxin, but looked into the distance, "I joined the secret guard when I was four years old."
Su Ningxin turned to look at Chu Jihan in confusion, "Why?"
She really didn't understand that her mind was not that of a child at that time, and because of her past life experience, she knew that she had to join the whirlpool of power to change her destiny. But even so, she had to think carefully about joining the secret guards for a long time. The four-year-old Chu Why did Ji Han take this path
Not to mention that he was too young and ignorant at that time, even his status as the only son in the palace would not allow him to do such a difficult and dangerous thing.
"Some of the rumors from the outside world are true. My mother-in-law was indeed poisoned when she was pregnant with me. I was also frail and sick after birth. I had many doctors consult me and they all said I would die. At that time, there was a man in the Long Guard who was very skilled in medicine. In order to keep me alive, my father sent me to the Dragon Guard, where I became a master and asked him to help me heal my illness, and also learned martial arts from him."
Chu Jihan still didn't turn to look at Su Ningxin, not because he didn't care, but because he cared too much.
He had a vague feeling that this conversation would determine his future relationship with Su Ningxin, whether they would try to be a couple or just strangers, so he didn't dare to turn around.
Looking into Su Ningxin's eyes, he knew that her idea would allow him to take the initiative, but it would also make him lose her. Chu Jihan had such a premonition, so he did not dare to turn his head.
