Chapter 168 The Dog That Bites Never Barks
The men in black were dumbfounded by what Chu Ci said. There were not many of them left, so what should they do next?
Chu Ci took the opportunity to look around and looked at everything he could see. He didn't see anything wrong, but he had to praise that there was enough firewood in the main courtyard.
The leader of the men in black stood there thinking for a long time, and finally looked at Chu Ci intently, "We are paid for our work. It is our fault for not investigating the area properly. We are willing to pay the price, but you must die. But don't worry, I will also send the murderer over there for you, so you can keep him company."
Chu Ci smiled awkwardly. It was true that she failed to instigate the conflict, at least she did not achieve the effect she wanted.
"How about this, I'll give you five times as much as they give you."
The man in black shook his head and slowly approached Chu Ci. Chu Ci retreated to the intersection while quickly doubling his strength, "Ten times."
"We don't want it. If we take the money, our reputation will be ruined. But we want your head! But don't worry, what I just said still counts. I will send them down with you to keep you company."
Chu Ci was silent. What she wanted was not to find company, but to ask these people to seek revenge on those people so that she would know who was behind it. However, it must be said that these people still kept their promises.
She still lacks people, so does that mean she can make some proper plans?
Chu Ci looked at the few remaining people and suddenly felt a little distressed. These people would be hers in the future.
Chu Ci blinked and decided to solve the problem in front of her first, otherwise she would have no choice but to recruit the sacrificed ghosts.
Chu Ci habitually wanted to find an opportunity to sprinkle the poison powder in his hand, but thinking that they would become his people in the future, he quietly took the poison back and replaced them all with sleeping pills.
"Actually, we have other ways." Before Chu Ci finished speaking, a cold sharp blade stabbed towards Chu Ci.
Chu Ci sensed danger and subconsciously wanted to dodge to the side, but the distance was too close and she still couldn't avoid it. The sharp blade still pierced her body and warm blood flowed out.
At this moment, the man in black took advantage of the opportunity, raised his sword, and stabbed Chu Ci fiercely, "This is the opportunity God has given me to avenge my brothers. Princess Chaoyang, let's end it here."
The long sword stabbed down and came straight towards Chu Ci.
Chu Ci knew that she might be in great danger today.
Just when Chu Ci was about to close her eyes, she felt someone pulling her from the side. Chu Ci fell to the side and then sprinkled the sleeping pills in her hand at the man in black.
"Xiao Ci!" Chu Zhen pulled Chu Ci towards him, and then held Chu Ci tightly in his arms. When he came, he saw Chu Yue holding a dagger and stabbing it into Chu Ci's body. He was thinking about pulling Xiao Ci into his arms at that time.
It was this pull that allowed Chu Ci to dodge the sword of the man in black.
When the man in black saw that the person under his sword was rescued, he turned around and slapped Chu Ci.
Seeing this, Chu Zhen protected Chu Ci behind him and closed his eyes. Although he did not know martial arts, he could protect her in his own way.
Chu Zhen closed his eyes and waited for the palm to come, but after waiting for a long time, his body did not feel any pain.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Lin Feng had arrived at some point and had already exchanged a palm strike with the man in black. Both of them suffered internal injuries.
Lin Feng retreated to Chu Ci's side. When he saw a dagger stuck in her body, his eyes darkened. "Yunsheng, go get the imperial physician. Leave this to me."
Chu Ci glanced at his previous position. Only Chu Yue was standing behind him. Her clothes were still stained with her blood. She stood there in a daze, as if she had not yet recovered from the murder she had committed.
Chu Ci hated the fact that his teeth ached. He didn't expect that he didn't die at the hands of the assassin, but almost died at the hands of the Chu family. It turned out that only dogs that don't bark bite.
Lin Feng raised his sword, wanting to fight the man in black. Chu Ci quickly spoke out to stop him, blinking his eyes, "Hurry up and get out of here! You've been poisoned by me. Why don't you go back and collect your own bodies?"
The man in black glanced at Chu Ci, turned around and left with the remaining forces.
Lin Feng and the others wanted to chase after them, but Chu Ci stopped them. "Alright, don't chase them. We've suffered heavy losses this time. Don't chase after desperate enemies. Let's treat the injured first."
After Chu Ci finished speaking, he glanced at Qiuyue who had already rushed over, and then collapsed in Chu Zhen's arms.
Qiuyue nodded, slowly withdrew from everyone's sight, and stayed in a specific area to scan back and forth.
Her strange behavior happened to be seen by Li who was hiding nearby. Li gave a captivating smirk with a cunning glint in his eyes.
At this time, Chu Zhen was staring at Chu Yue viciously. If Chu Ci had not been injured, he would have wanted to skin Chu Yue alive.
Feeling the changes in the person in his arms, Chu Zhen picked up Chu Ci and went straight to Chu Ci's bedroom. "If the imperial physician comes, let him go directly to Xiaoci's bedroom."
Lin Feng watched Chu Zhen carry the princess into the bedroom. If his master knew about this, he would be extremely jealous.
Lin Feng pulled the corner of his mouth, glanced at the people in the whole yard, and his sight fell on Chu Yue. Her position——
It seems that Miss Chu San has contributed a lot to the princess's injuries. Lin Feng slowly approached Chu Yue and looked at her coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.
I slowly woke up and saw Lin Feng's cold face.
"Ah!" Chu Yue screamed and took several steps back. Thinking of what she had just done, she turned around and was about to run.
Lin Feng snorted coldly, and the guards he brought with him went straight forward to arrest Chu Yue.
He looked at Chu Yue with disdain. If it weren't for the princess's hands, this matter would definitely not have ended so easily.
"Take her back, lock her up, and first interrogate these men in black to see if they have any connection with her."
Of course Lin Feng knew that these men in black had nothing to do with her, and the reason they interrogated her was to make her suffer more.
After giving all the instructions, Lin Feng asked people to clean up the place and waved to Qiuyue who was still wandering around. "Okay, let's go to the princess's yard to see if her wound has been bandaged."
Qiuyue frowned. She had searched everywhere anyway, and although she found nothing, she could only follow Lin Feng back and report the matter to her master.
