The host of the quick travel is lacking in virtue for eight generations

When the master they were protecting got into trouble, two guards immediately turned around to check on their master's condition. This instantly put the pressure on the other guards who were fighting the masked man.

At this moment, six people suddenly jumped out from somewhere, stood next to the guards and started fighting with the masked man!

Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows. These should be King Ping's secret guards. They would only appear in public when summoned by their master or when their master's life and death were at stake.

With the addition of these secret guards, the situation was instantly reversed. Not only were their numbers equal to those of the masked men, but their skills were much superior to theirs.

Those masked men no longer dared to slack off like before, and their attacks became more ruthless. However, they were ultimately defeated and were killed.

Of course, half of King Ping's guards and secret guards were also lost, leaving only two guards. They were the two who had gone to check on King Ping before. One of them shook King Ping's body, and seeing no response, he tried sniffing his breath, and then shook his head at the three secret guards.

The three secret guards also stepped forward to feel the breath, and confirmed that their master was really dead, then they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times. When they stood up, black blood was already flowing from the corners of their mouths. He had actually committed suicide by taking poison!

Xiao Yun was at a loss for words. Isn't this too hasty? You should take King Ping back and bury him before dying for him. You are too hasty!

She was just thinking that she might have made a wasted trip when she saw the two guards look around and shout twice. Seeing no one respond, one of them actually reached into King Ping's clothes and took out something like a token.

He stood up and looked at another guard. Almost at the same time, both of them raised their knives and slashed at each other!

"!!!"

Xiao Yun's eyes widened, thinking that they also wanted to sacrifice themselves for the master, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. As a result, the two of them only cut some wounds on each other's body. They looked miserable, but in fact, no vital parts were hurt.

Afterwards, the two of them left while covering their wounds. Judging from the direction they were heading, they should have gone to the front of Huiling Temple.

Xiao Yun's eyes gleamed. Is this... a betrayal? A traitor?

As the two men left, there was soon no sound around. She climbed up the tree and looked around to make sure that there was really no one around. Then she went forward to check on King Ping.

She squatted down and reached out her hand to feel his breath, and indeed she could not sense it. However, she was a modern person in her previous life after all, and she knew that the absence of breathing did not mean death, and even if the heartbeat stopped, she could still try to save him.

Besides, she was unwilling to make a wasted trip, so she reached out and touched his pulse on his neck. After feeling it carefully, she found that there was still a faint beat!

He took out another invisibility talisman and quickly stuck it on King Ping. Then he took out a snow-white pill, pinched open his mouth and stuffed it in.

If she hadn't been attracted by this guy's beauty, she would not have been willing to part with this precious detoxification pill and trillions of ghost money!

Moreover, she only bought five pills in total. The old man Xian who made the alchemy claimed that these were his last stocks. She didn't know whether she could buy them again in the future. One less pill would be one less.

Because he was in invisible mode, only Xiao Yun, who also had an invisibility talisman on him, could see King Ping's appearance. Otherwise, his current appearance would definitely scare people.

His face had already turned purple, and black poisonous blood was flowing from his mouth.

After taking the pill, the bruises on her face faded visibly, and she almost instantly regained her previous rosy complexion and good looks.

You know, no matter how good-looking a person is, if his face is covered with bruises, he won't look very good. It's more pleasing to the eye the way it is now.

Now that King Ping's life has been saved, he must leave here. The two guards who were injured must have gone to call for help. After all, they have put on a complete show, so they will probably bring people here soon.

Originally, Xiao Yun had never thought about saving people openly, mainly because it was difficult to explain why she appeared here, and she might even be considered to be in cahoots with those killers.

That's why she put on an invisibility talisman at the beginning, and rescued the person if she could. Anyway, it was said that all his guards were dead, so it was not her decision how she saved him.

Her original purpose was just to establish a relationship with Prince Heping, so that she would have a stronger helper when she left the Marquis of Pingxi's Mansion. Even if the Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion blocked her, or the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion was unable to help, she could still leave freely and live a better life.

Unexpectedly, King Ping's appearance was very much to her liking, so she decided to give it a try to see if she could seduce him.

But no one expected there would be such a dramatic scene later. First of all, those masked men acted strangely. They had the upper hand at the beginning but they didn't kill King Ping directly. Of course, it is also possible that they knew that King Ping was surrounded by not only those guards but also secret guards, so they waited for the poison to take effect, catching those secret guards off guard.

I guess they didn't expect those secret guards to be so skilled and kill them.

Xiao Yun tried to guess that the four guards who were killed should be loyal to King Ping, and the remaining two were just accomplices. It was probably them who poisoned King Ping. After all, it is easier to control people around you.

Before, he deliberately let those masked men not kill him, giving them the opportunity to poison him. Then when the poison took effect, Prince Ping would force those secret guards out and capture them all in one fell swoop.

Or maybe they had anticipated the future step: once King Ping died, the secret guards would die with their master, but they would not be killed, because they would have to find someone to bring King Ping's body back for burial.

Their purpose is to obtain Prince Ping's token, and then continue to stay in Prince Ping's mansion. They probably have follow-up plans, so they go to so much trouble.

Although she felt that there were many loopholes, she couldn't figure them out for the time being. She could only wait for King Ping to wake up and ask him. He should know something.

Another question is how the other party ended up in this forest. Although this forest is just behind Huiling Temple, it is not directly accessible from the temple. The only way to get here is to go around the outside of the temple wall, or to climb over the wall like she did.

If a prince came to the temple to worship Buddha, he couldn't suddenly climb over the wall with his guards, or go around the temple and come into the woods.

What are you doing in this forest? There are only trees and dried weeds here. It is spring now, and there is a late spring frost. The trees are just beginning to sprout green buds. At first glance, they are actually bare and there is no scenery.

After passing this woods and going west, there is a straight cliff that is about several dozen meters deep. Therefore, most people would not come here. Instead, it is a good place to kill someone and silence them.
