Chapter 224 1 Thoughts of the Pass 27
It's like mud falling into your crotch—even if it's not shit, it's still shit.
Ning Yuanzhou inwardly groaned, his mind racing as he tried to find a way to break the deadlock.
The most urgent task now is to find a way to save his and Ren Ruyi's lives.
But how to save one's life is a difficult problem.
He couldn't very well say that Ren Ruyi was actually a kind-hearted person with the world at heart, and that she came to destroy Wu Kingdom's artillery and explosives so that the world would be spared from the ravages of war.
If someone heard this, they'd all call me crazy!
It seems that the only thing to do now is to find a way to help Ruyi escape from this place and save her life.
As for himself...
As long as Ruyi is safe and sound, what does his safety matter?
Besides, he is still the head of the Six Paths Hall. If he escapes with the crime of treason, wouldn't the Six Paths Hall brothers who have just been cleared of their name be implicated?
So he can't leave!
Having made up his mind, Ning Yuanzhou gave Ren Ruyi a look.
The meaning is that Ren Ruyi should go first, while he stays behind to cover the rear.
Unfortunately, Ren Ruyi didn't receive his signal. Her eyes were warily scanning her surroundings, trying to find a weak point in the defense among the group of menacing people so that the two of them could escape safely.
Ren Ruyi was the best assassin in the world. When she saw Yang Ying and her military generals lying in wait, she immediately made a judgment.
The other side knew her plan in advance, and presumably, they had already made preparations inside the brothel. It seems that her plan to forcibly burn down the brothel today has failed, and even if she fights to the death, the chances of success are extremely slim.
It seems the only thing we can do now is try to escape.
As the saying goes: "Where there's life, there's hope."
Only by saving our lives now can we have a chance to talk about anything else.
However, since it was I who dragged Ning Yuanzhou into this mess, I must take Ning Yuanzhou with me today no matter what.
Thinking of this, Ren Ruyi turned her gaze to Yang Ying.
This Prince Li is the highest-ranking person present and the actual leader of the Wu Army. If we can successfully capture her, we might be able to find a way to survive.
and,,,
Even if she really can't escape, if she can kill Yang Ying, then this trip won't have been in vain.
With Yang Ying dead, the border regions of Wu Kingdom were leaderless and no longer able to contend with An Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Ren Ruyi's eyes flashed with astonishing killing intent, and she focused all her attention on Yang Ying.
"Your Highness..."
Just as Ning Yuanzhou was about to speak to attract the attention of the people opposite him, Ren Ruyi, who was beside him, leaped up and rushed towards Yang Ying while he was speaking. However, Sun Lang, who was beside Yang Ying, successfully blocked her with his shield.
Ren Ruyi took the initiative, and Ning Yuanzhou hesitated for a moment, but in the end he followed his heart and helped Ren Ruyi.
Sensing figures darting out from behind her, Yang Ying calmly closed her eyes, leaned back in her chair with a leisurely air, and listened to the clanging sounds of weapons clashing around her, as if keeping a rhythm. Her fingers occasionally tapped the armrest of the chair.
Her relaxed demeanor didn't suggest she had encountered an assassination attempt, but rather that she was listening to music at a palace banquet.
Ren Ruyi's martial arts skills were truly superb. With Ning Yuanzhou's assistance and her own desperate efforts, more than twenty people couldn't defeat them for a while. They even almost reached Yang Ying several times, but were fortunately blocked by the human shield Sun Lang.
"Your Highness, this place is dangerous. Perhaps I should escort you away from here first!" Sun Lang, panting heavily, said after blocking Ren Ruyi's fatal blow once again.
Yang Ying sat upright, composed, and said firmly, "With all my beloved ministers here, this is the safest place. With you all here, what do I have to fear from a mere assassin?"
Every word she spoke was powerful and resonant, revealing her complete trust in everyone.
The crowd, who had been slightly flustered by Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou's alliance, felt more at ease and trusting.
His Highness trusts them so much; we must not let him down, and we must not allow him to suffer any harm.
As a result, everyone adjusted their mindset, abandoned their fear and panic, and focused more on the battle at hand.
As they gradually developed a tacit understanding, their moves became increasingly sharp and orderly, and the situation began to develop in a favorable direction.
Seeing this, Yang Ying glanced at Yu Shisan and Yuan Lu, who were 'protecting' her.
The two men who stayed behind with Sun Lang to protect her were actually making excuses to avoid fighting Ning Yuanzhou.
Didn't you see that their eyes were practically glued to Ning Yuanzhou?
Whenever Ning Yuanzhou was attacked, the two of them would silently clench their weapons, looking as if they couldn't wait to rush up and help, which made Yang Ying sneer repeatedly.
Looking at the few Six Paths Hall members fighting hesitantly in the arena, Yang Ying silently memorized their names. Then, her mental power surged like a raging river, unstoppable, and she charged straight into the battle circle.
The power of telekinesis was invisible and colorless, and no one in the room noticed that another force had been added to the gun room.
As the weapons were swung, two streams of mental energy accompanied by the blades slashed towards Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi. The two skillfully parried with their swords, but were still sent flying by the two enormous forces, crashing into the wall and bouncing back to the ground.
When the two men looked up, they found several weapons around their necks.
"Your Highness, the assassin has been captured by us!"
Yang Ying nodded slightly to the crowd in appreciation, then stood up, straightened her clothes, and without even glancing at the two people still struggling on the ground, said directly to the crowd, "These two are yours to deal with. As for whether they live or die, that's up to you. You don't need to report back to me afterwards."
After saying that, Yang Ying turned and left gracefully, no longer caring about the life or death of the two men.
Given her current status, she doesn't need to explicitly state what she wants to do.
With just a glance, her subordinates would read her mind and take care of everything for her.
