After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

The man in black heard the noise and looked back, and seeing that it was a little maid running away, he did not chase after her and continued driving all the way out of the city.

Seeing this, Gu Jin became even more certain that this man was coming for her. Even if she and Ruyi jumped out of the car together, the man in black would not let her go. It would be better to escape as soon as possible.

The carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city.

The man in black jumped off the carriage, drew out the dagger hanging from his waist, and vigilantly reached out to open the door.

But before his hand could touch the carriage, the door was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

A cold light flashed, and the man in black quickly raised his hand to block with the dagger in his hand, and the metal collision made a harsh sound.

However, just as Gu Jin raised his palm to attack the man in black's chest, he had already predicted Gu Jin's action. He not only dodged sideways but also slapped Gu Jin's shoulder.

Gu Jin's frail body was knocked flying in an instant, and she gritted her teeth to barely keep her balance.

She felt a sharp tearing pain in her shoulder. The seemingly random palm strike had dislocated her shoulder.

Gu Jin raised his hand to lift his shoulder and pushed the dislocated joint back.

This guy is more difficult to deal with than she thought!

"I have never met you and have no grudge against you. Why did you do such a cruel thing to me?"

The man in black ignored Gu Jin completely and attacked him with his toes tapping the ground like a bowstring.

Two flashes of cold light flashed and intersected, drawing one silver arc after another in the air.

Although Gu Jin blocked every attack from the man in black, she knew that she would surely lose if she continued like this.

Although she is a doctor, she has studied close combat and is as good as ordinary agents in close combat.

But the problem was that the man in front of her was not only an amazing fighter, but each of his strikes was mixed with tremendous internal strength. She seemed to have resisted the man's attack, but in fact her arms could no longer bear it.

She is just a fragile person in front of the man, while the other party has both physical and magical attacks. The gap between the two is really unfair.

Gu Jin raised his leg and kicked the man, then used the force to step back and temporarily create some distance between them.

"My dear brother, you are handsome and brave. We can discuss anything together!" If she could save her life by talking sweetly, she would choke the other person to death.

"You know my husband Xie Ran, his maternal grandfather, the Su family, is the richest family in the State of Chen. You can have as much money as you want."

She had no grudge against this man, and he was obviously ordered to take her life.

If you pay to hire someone to kill you, that would be the best. After all, things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

But the man in black changed the villain's setting of being talkative. He refused to respond to Gu Jin's words from beginning to end, and there was only one thing in his eyes.

That is to kill her!

"Depend on!"

Looking at the man in black attacking again, Gu Jin couldn't help but swear.

Her left shoulder was already injured, and after several fights, her right arm began to feel numb and she gradually lost sensation. The bloodstains looked like blood-red roses blooming on her dress, beautiful yet tragic.

Gu Jin's breathing began to become disordered. Although she tried her best to suppress it, her right arm still trembled uncontrollably.

The man in black obviously noticed the change in Gu Jin's aura, and a bloodthirsty sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

Just one final blow to end this boring mission!

Sure enough, this time, the dagger in Gu Jin's hand was knocked away by the man in black before two moves.

Blood dripped down her arm onto the grass. Gu Jin felt her body becoming weaker and weaker. She covered her wound and smiled bitterly.

It was really a bloody disaster. If she had known this would happen, she would rather have listened to Shen Wuzhi's nonsense.

Seeing that Gu Jin had lost the ability to resist, the man in black swung his dagger and prepared to give Gu Jin a fatal blow.

Gu Jin covered his arms and lowered his head, seemingly having completely given up resistance.

But just as the black-clad man's dagger was about to cut Gu Jin's throat, Gu Jin suddenly raised his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes startled the black-clad man.

Gu Jin's body bent backward in an exaggerated arc, and he stabbed the man in black with the arrow hidden in his sleeve.

"Your things are returned to you now!"

The man in black was not prepared, and although he tried his best to dodge, his arm was still pierced by the arrow.

The man in black pulled out his hidden arrow and threw it far away. "Do you think you can kill me with this?"

The man was so angry that he finally spoke the first words to Gu Jin.

"Hey! So you're not mute!

But your voice is really unpleasant, you'd better shut up." After Gu Jin was able to catch his breath, he began his usual sarcastic remarks.

"It's just a trifle. Let's see what you can come up with this time..."

The black-clad man's pupils shrank sharply.

"Feel it?" Gu Jin pursed his lips coldly.

The man's voice was hoarse, "What did you do to me?"

Gu Jin curved his lips. Although he looked embarrassed, he still had an unyielding beauty, like a rose blooming among thorns that would never show weakness to others. "It's nothing. I just applied a little bit of poison. It's a deadly poison that kills instantly when it comes into contact with blood."

After throwing Ruyi off the carriage, Gu Jin pulled out the sleeve arrow that was stuck in the carriage, and then took out poison from the space ring and smeared it on the sleeve arrow.

The black-clad man was much stronger than she was. They fought for a long time and she was covered in bruises, but she couldn't even touch him.

She knew that the longer the time went, the more disadvantageous it would be for her, so she deliberately exposed her flaws to lure the man in black to kill her. This was her only chance to get close to the man in black.

People will not be wary of dying prey, and she took advantage of this to fight back.

"You can hurt me as many times as you want, but I only need to hurt you once."

Gu Jin staggered to pick up her dagger. Now it was her turn to end it all.

The man in black was furious and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

He never expected that he would be tricked by a little girl!

He was one of the top ten killers and had completed so many dangerous missions, but this time he failed miserably and fell into the hands of a little girl!

He raised his cold, scarlet eyes and stared at Gu Jin.

He would complete his master's mission even if he died. This woman must die!

Gu Jin originally wanted to wait for the poison in the man in black to take effect before stepping forward to kill him, but she didn't expect that the man in black would use all his internal strength to temporarily suppress the poison, and suddenly pounce on Gu Jin like a venomous snake that had been planning for a long time.

Gu Jin was seriously injured, and the man in black used all his strength to suppress the poison. The two men rolled on the grass and fought hand-to-hand with all their strength.

Gu Jin kicked the black-clothed man's dagger away. Without a weapon, he simply used his hands as clamps to tightly restrain Gu Jin's neck.

Gu Jin frantically stabbed the black-clothed man with the dagger. Warm blood flowed all over Gu Jin's body, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make any sound. The strength of his hands did not decrease at all.

Gu Jin was almost suffocated, and the black-clothed man's blood flowed more and more, his internal strength was weakened, and the poison began to spread.

Both of them were just a breath of air left, and neither of them was willing to give up.

Gu Jin only felt that the scenery in front of his eyes became increasingly blurry, his body slowly lost strength, and the dagger in his hand slipped weakly.

She slowly closed her eyes, and in the moment before she fell into darkness, she seemed to see someone running towards her.

But no matter whether the other person was here to save her or to kill her, she no longer had the strength to look up.

Or so be it.

She should have died long ago anyway, dying on the battlefield with her comrades.

She had regarded this period of time as a dream on her way to the underworld. Now that she had awakened from the dream, she returned to where she should go.

It was just that a pain arose somewhere in her heart, and she had unknowingly begun to be reluctant to leave this place.

She was reluctant to part with the money she had saved with great difficulty, the silly Ruyi, and Su who treated her like her own daughter...

And him.

If she died like this, would he be a little sad? And what would he do with the remaining poison in his body?

She didn't even have the time to say goodbye to him properly. Xie Ran, I think I will never see you again...
