Since we've already started talking about this.

It's time to stop hiding.

Old Wang told Yun'an that he arranged all this not to harm him.

Instead, Yun An'an and Bei Chen Yi used their status and demeanor in Kyoto to suppress Han Ying's behavior.

So, that's why the Empress Dowager summoned me out of the blue She wants to see what I'm made of

She said, "There's no reason for me to be brought into the palace. There must be something wrong."

Love is preparing for a suitable opportunity to kill her.

Yes, but also no.

Old Wang sighed and looked at Yun An'an, then turned his gaze to Bei Chen Yi.

"Why"

Well said!

I can't think of a more fitting phrase for the moment.

Han Ying is no ordinary woman. Ever since the previous emperor's death, she has been plotting to use her family's influence in the North Star Kingdom to ascend to the throne as Empress.

"Not even his own son is spared... ruthless!"

No wonder!

No wonder that Beichen Han and Beichen Yi, who existed like a needle against a blade of grass, were able to join forces and destroy the Han family. It must have been because of Han Ying.

The woman who could make the current emperor, the current regent king, and the oldest prince tremble with fear, she underestimated Han Ying.

"That being the case, could the people my uncle met at Qishan today be assassins sent by Han Ying"

80% chance.

The sky is now brightening, the sun climbing over the horizon, slowly illuminating those sitting on Qishan.

At that moment, a series of soft, rustling sounds echoed in the ears of the few.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Thousands of sword rains fell from the sky, flying straight towards the crowd.

Fortunately, there were a few protruding large rocks on the edge of the cliff, which blocked quite a few crossbow arrows. That's how everyone managed to avoid being shot into a hedgehog.

But Qingfeng, Bai Shiqi, and the others were also injured.

"Seventeen girl."

Bai Shiqi was protecting Yun An'an when an arrow pierced his arm, blood flowing continuously.

The arrows were tipped with deadly poison, and it was clear the killers lurking in the forest were coming for them with murderous intent.

"I'm fine."

Gritting his teeth against the searing pain and the poison's relentless assault, Bai Shiqi cautiously scanned his surroundings.

"Finished eating."

A single pill managed to temporarily suppress the toxicity and stop the bleeding. Yun Anan took off the black box from her back, looking at the twenty or so bullets remaining in her hand, exchanging a glance with Beichen Yi.

"Uncle, do you still remember the games we used to play"

A while ago, in order to make my aging lower back feel better and not be mercilessly 'tortured' by someone.

Yun An'an and Bei Chen Yi played a game.

Yun'an'an was responsible for hiding in the darkness, while Beichen Yi was responsible for finding her. Within the specified time, if she couldn't be found, a certain king wouldn't allow his concubine to sleep with him.

As a result, Bei Chen Yi could always accurately find Yun An An's location. This hurt her pride as a bounty hunter and her wallet.

I need to go to the highest point, behind that stone.

Only that location on the entire mountain could overlook everything, and it also had stone cover, so the enemy couldn't attack her for a while. Conversely, she could use the high ground to snipe at the enemy.

"I will protect you."

When words fail, Beichen Yi embraced Yun An'an and leaped forward with incredible speed.

Every time Beichen Yilu landed, he would fire dozens of poisoned crossbow arrows.

"Uncle, wanna play a round of PUBG with me"

"Okay."

A good character, unconditionally trusting Yun An'an, no matter what the desperate survival situation was. Beichen Yi guarded the woman in his arms and finally reached a distance of the highest point.

The assassin hid in the woods, watching the two figures disappear from view and feeling a wave of frustration.

There is only half an hour left until they complete their mission.

If you don't kill Beichen Yi and Yun An An within half an hour, their end will be worse than death.

"Loose an arrow."

The second wave of arrows flew down, heading towards the mountain peak.

Old Wang's heart was pounding in his throat with worry. He didn't care if he died, but Bei Chen Yi and Yun An An couldn't possibly get hurt!

Bang—

With a shot fired, a black-clad assassin dropped from the trees.

Bang—

The second shot rang out, and another man fell from the tree, blood gushing from a wound in his temple.

He took down seven assassins with seven consecutive shots, and the rain of arrows also weakened.

"Uncle, let's change positions."

Now that we have more space to maneuver, the high ground has been suppressed by arrows. It will be difficult to attack again.

When the time came, Bei Chen Yi once again scooped up Yun An'an and disappeared into the forest.

As shot after shot echoed, the black-clad assassins were thrown into disarray.

What kind of weapon is this... They had never seen anything like it, it could take a life with just one blow.

Not only were the assassins in black and others dumbfounded, but of those who could survive, there were less than ten people left. They quickly evacuated.

Old Wang and the others were also shocked, curiously watching the two figures shuttling through the forest.

Beichen Yi was responsible for finding the target, and Yun An'an was responsible for killing it. The two cooperated so well.

Bang!

With a single shot, Yun An'an didn't end the life of the man in black, she only hit his shoulder.

"Well, who sent you to kill us"

The black mask covering the man's face was pulled down, and Qingfeng helped Bai Shiqi forward. He took a look at the face beneath the mask.

"The Imperial Consort's Guard."

As expected, it was Han Yeong who planned this assassination.

To ascend to the throne of the empress, she's even willing to eliminate her own son.

Wowzers!

"As expected of the Empress Dowager, those who aspire to great things can even kill their closest relatives."

This is Empress Wu Zetian's golden saying.

Han Ying really wants to be the second Wu Zetian.

The Black Clothes knew that going back would mean his death. He bit through the poison hidden between his teeth, and with a kick of his legs, he became a corpse.

To my surprise, she actually decided to take action.

Old Wang sighed deeply, and Yun An corrected Old Wang's choice of words.

It's not about wanting to, it's about already taking action.

……

It was already lunchtime when I returned from Qishan to Yiwangfu.om the winter. A gentle breeze rustled through the air, carrying with it a hint of early spring.Yun An'an poured a cup of wine for Yun Qian Shan, this action further filled Yun Qian Shan with question...
