The maids set the table and left one after another.

The last maid gently placed the breakfast on the tray on the table. As she walked past the two of them with her head lowered, her eyes became fierce. She pulled out the dagger from her sleeve and attacked Jun Xiaochen's heart.

Xu Junjun stood beside Jun Xiaochen, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and before she could react, Jun Xiaochen grabbed her waist and quickly retreated.

Things in the room were moving backwards rapidly. Xu Junjun stumbled and was then steadily carried behind him by Jun Xiaochen as the cold light approached.

She had just stood firm and was about to call for help when she heard the sound of a knife piercing through the man's robe.

With a shudder of fear, Xu Junjun raised her eyes quickly and saw Jun Xiaochen sweeping his long legs and kicking the knife-wielding maid away.

The assassin disguised as a maid is obviously a professional killer.

When the attack failed, he quickly adjusted his direction in mid-air and pounced towards Jun Xiaochen like a wild leopard in a ghost forest.

Jun Xiaochen had his sword beside the bed, so he had to use his arms to block the assassin's two whip kicks. Then he put his long fingers together and quickly pressed several major acupoints on the man's legs.

Xu Junjun saw it clearly from behind. Jun Xiaochen's hits were so powerful that the assassin's legs lost their momentum instantly and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Without waiting for the assassin to land, Jun Xiaochen took advantage of the situation to chase him. He turned around and kicked the man towards the door with his long legs with a force of ten thousand pounds, breaking the door panel with a loud bang.

It took only five or six breaths from the time the assassin attacked to the time Jun Xiaochen pulled her out of the room. The guards rushed over after hearing the noise, and the assassin was already lying on the broken door, spitting out black blood.

After the guards subdued the person, Xu Junjun quickly stepped forward, tapped the maid's chest several times, took out a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, then neatly removed her jaw to prevent her from biting her tongue.

Feeling her pulse, Xu Junjun looked at Jun Xiaochen:

"She took poison, but she won't die within seven days."

Jun Xiaochen stared at the dirty blood on the back of her hand and frowned:

"come over."

Jun Xiaochen's voice was low and he was obviously unhappy.

Xu Junjun saw the coldness in his eyes and thought he was angry with the assassin, so she curled her lips, stood up and stood behind him.

The guards picked up the disguised female assassin and were about to question her when they heard Jun Xiaochen's order:

"Straight away, lingchi."

It seems that he has no intention of asking who is behind the scenes.

The guards always obeyed Jun Xiaochen's orders as if they were imperial decrees, and they dragged the assassin away like a dead dog.

Xu Junjun stared at Jun Xiaochen from behind, poked Jun Xiaochen's narrow waist hard, and said unhappily:

"Why didn't you say so earlier if you wanted to kill her directly?

What a waste of a pill."

Jun Xiaochen looked back at her, his gaze lingering on the back of her bloody hand for two seconds, and then he directly ordered his guards:

"Bring some hot water and prepare a meal."

"It's the master."

The guards who stayed outside the house nodded in agreement and immediately went downstairs to pass on the message.

When the hot water was brought, Jun Xiaochen personally soaked the dry towel in it, grabbed Xu Junjun's wrist, and gently wiped the black blood on the back of her hand.

Xu Junjun looked in the direction of his movements and realized that there was some blood on the backs of both his hands when he removed the assassin's chin.

Seeing Jun Xiaochen wiping his hands so seriously, Xu Junjun snatched the handkerchief awkwardly, stepped back a few steps and said:

"I can do it myself."

His palm missed and swept across Xu Junjun's resisting eyes. Jun Xiaochen frowned, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

Thinking of the cutting sound he had just heard, Xu Junjun glanced at Jun Xiaochen and said casually:

"The assassin didn't hurt you just now, did he?"

Xu Junjun had seen Jun Xiaochen take action many times and was quite confident in his strength.

Even if he was poisoned, ordinary people would be no match for him.

She had just asked casually with the intention of easing the awkwardness, but when she saw Jun Xiaochen silently turn sideways, revealing the long knife wound on his arm, the handkerchief in Xu Junjun's hand fell to the ground with a snap.

“What the hell!

You were actually scratched by an assassin!"

After yelling a lot, Xu Junjun slapped his forehead and said angrily:

"This time the assassin is really capable, he was able to hurt you!

Wait a minute, I'll go back to the room to get the medicine box."

Having said that, without waiting for Jun Xiaochen to speak, Xu Junjun lifted up her skirt and rushed out like a firecracker.

Seeing Xu Junjun was nervous about him, Jun Xiaochen's unhappiness disappeared, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sat back at the table again.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at his injured arm.

In fact, if he hadn't pushed Xu Junjun behind him first, he wouldn't have been injured at all.

However, in that situation, if he didn't protect her first, the blade might have scratched her shoulder.

Jun Xiaochen would not let this happen.

Xu Junjun brought out the medicine box and asked Jun Xiaochen to take off his outer robe. He took a closer look at the wound and found that the dagger was poisoned.

First, he fed Jun Xiaochen a detoxification pill and cut off the skin and flesh that had been corroded by the toxin. When Xu Junjun was applying medicine and bandaging Jun Xiaochen, he suddenly spoke:

"Jun Xiaochen, you, the regent, are nothing more than this."

Jun Xiaochen looked up, not understanding what he meant.

Xu Junjun looked at him calmly and counted on her fingers:

“When we first met, Great Saint, you were poisoned and your life was hanging by a thread.

The second time you met on the river, you were chased by Tianqi's enemy and almost died in the belly of a fish.

The third time we met, I poisoned you and your body was damaged.

After you brought Tianqi to me, I watched you get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. You are a natural hard worker.

You didn't see the power and beauty enjoying you, but you were assassinated by poison and everything else.

Living in such an environment every day, it’s no wonder that your heart is as cold as stone and you are sensitive and suspicious.

Don't worry, when we return to the imperial capital, you give me the antidote to the Mother-Child Pill and I will give it to you.

In addition, I will give you a bottle of detoxification pill. I hope you live longer.

The little emperor is a good child. I believe that under your education, he will become a generous and benevolent lord of Tianqi in the future.

I am not an unreasonable person. When I return safely to the Great Sage, our accounts will be settled.

From now on, I will walk my sunny path and you will cross your single-plank bridge.

The mountains are long and the waters are wide, we will never meet again."

Xu Junjun talked on and on for a long time, and Jun Xiaochen's eyes were slightly moved, but when he heard her last sentence, his face changed immediately.

Looking at the woman's serious face, Jun Xiaochen frowned:

"You still hate me?"

Xu Junjun nodded honestly, then shook her head:

"Seeing what you have done for the people of Apocalypse, my opinion of you has changed a lot.

Those in high positions who know how to protect the people are not just politicians who only know how to play power games.

If I stand in the perspective of the people of Apocalypse, I will admire you and be grateful to you.

But as myself, I still hate you.

After all, you tried to kill me several times and even put poison in my body.

I am not a saint, how can I forgive you so easily."

Jun Xiaochen was not satisfied with this answer, but when he thought of the original intention of abducting her to Tianqi, his eyes gradually became gloomy.

Xu Junjun didn't see Jun Xiaochen's dark face. After bandaging his wound, she took his pulse.

After discovering that the toxins in Jun Xiaochen's body had been reduced, Xu Junjun was overjoyed. She recorded every change in his body in a book, then stood up, picked up her medicine box and left happily, not even bothering to eat.

Wei Dong went out to do some work early in the morning. When he returned home, he learned that his master had been attacked and was almost scared to death.

Wei Dong hurried to his master's yard. Just as he had saluted and was about to stand up, he heard his master's puzzled voice.

"Weidong, do you know how to ask for a woman's forgiveness?"
