The prince is very cruel

Lou Xinyue helped the old woman to a rock, about four or five meters away from everyone. After all, there are differences between men and women, so Nie Nan and others did not follow too close.

Besides, who could be wary of an old woman who went up the mountain to collect herbs?

After Lou Xinyue helped the person sit down, she squatted down, rolled up the old woman's trouser legs, and carefully checked her.

The old woman smiled and said, "Girl, you are so pretty. You don't look like someone from our poor mountain village."

Lou Xinyue's face was cold and she shook her head: "No."

"So that's how it is. Have you ever been to Liuzhuang?" the old woman asked again.

Lou Xinyue didn't look up: "I have been there."

"That's you." The old woman suddenly laughed.

Lou Xinyue was stunned for a moment before looking up.

The old woman's wrinkled face changed from a simple and pitiful smile to a sinister and terrifying one in an instant, as if she had become a different person. She stabbed out with a dagger without any warning.

"Be careful!!"

Guan Ning roared. Even though he was wary, he had never expected such a scene to happen.

His roar was like thunder, attracting Nie Nan and the others to look over.

stab...

The sound of a sharp dagger cutting through flesh was extremely bloody. The tip of the knife was only an inch away from Lou Xinyue's heart, and blood was dripping!

That was Guan Ning's hand, gripping the knife with his bare hands! Otherwise, it would be too late to change any other method.

The old woman was shocked. Where did the people come from?

But her reaction was extremely fast, not like that of an old woman at all, but more like that of a trained killer.

huff…

Another knife stabbed towards Guan Ning's heart at the speed of an afterimage.

"Hmph, I knew something was wrong with you!" Guan Ning endured the severe pain and kicked out. At the same time, Lou Xinyue reacted and also attacked with lightning speed.

The two of them each took a kick, almost in sync, in perfect harmony.

Boom!

"Puff..." The old woman vomited blood and flew backwards, sliding seven or eight meters away.

At this moment, Nie Nan and the others realized who they had just rescued. Their faces changed drastically, and they were filled with anger: "Catch her!!"

"asshole!"

Swish swish!

Everyone rushed forward and pounced on the old woman.

The old woman failed to succeed, her face looked grim and she was in great pain. Without saying a word, she turned around and ran away.

"How are you? You fool!" Lou Xinyue did not chase after him, but nervously grabbed Guan Ning's hand with a worried look.

"Hiss!" Guan Ning sucked in a breath of cold air, pain written all over his face. He threw the dagger in his hand to the ground, spread out his five fingers, and saw a cut that almost went through his entire palm, and blood was flowing non-stop.

Fortunately, it was not a penetrating wound, otherwise it would be troublesome!

Seeing this, Lou Xinyue felt extremely guilty. He had blocked the knife for her, and Guan Ning had just reminded her that she had misunderstood him...

When she thought of this, she felt extremely guilty.

"I'm sorry," she whispered.

Stab it!

Without saying a word, she tore her white clothes, took out a piece of cloth, and then pressed acupoints on Guan Ning to stop the bleeding, and then cleaned the wound and applied medicine to relieve the pain.

"Hiss!!" Guan Ning sucked in a breath of cold air again. The combination of the golden wound medicine and the wound was so sour and painful that it was indescribable.

"Don't move, it will be fine soon!" Lou Xinyue frowned, spoke in a gentle tone, and then bandaged the wound carefully.

Guan Ning watched in fascination. It was the first time he saw Lou Xinyue so worried about him, and also the first time he saw her so gentle. He couldn't help but smile. It was worth it to get hurt a little.

After a while, the palm was bandaged.

Their eyes met, and Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes were filled with guilt and complexity. She pursed her lips and said, "Why did you help me block the knife when I said that to you?"

Guan Ning curled his lips: "I can't argue with anyone, but you. What's wrong? Are you concerned about me?"

Lou Xinyue was amused by his rogue appearance, and a strange feeling emerged in her heart. The cold war atmosphere between the two of them was instantly broken, and even reached a new height.

But she immediately stiffened her face again: "Stop smiling at me!"

"I don't think you're seriously injured!"

"Hiss, ah!" Guan Ning screamed immediately and curled up his body.

"What's wrong?" Lou Xinyue just stood up when her face suddenly changed.

Guan Ning suddenly looked up, showing his big white teeth and a sly smile. It turned out that he was pretending. Lou Xinyue's eyes were obviously panicked for a moment. Although she tried her best to hide it, it made her look like she was trying to hide something.

At this moment, there were dense footsteps and cursing sounds, and Nie Nan and his men successfully captured the old woman.

"Run, old man, keep running!"

"Say, who sent you?"

"We saved you out of kindness, but you repaid our kindness with hatred!"

Nie Nan rushed over, panting, his face not looking good: "Brother Ning, how are you?"

Guan Ning shook his hand as if nothing had happened and said with a smile: "It's bandaged, it's nothing serious."

Then he looked at the old woman: "This person is not repaying kindness with enmity, she has been planning this assassination for a long time."

"And most of them are people sent from Liuzhuang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes were focused on him.

The old woman's eyes flickered, and she was obviously shocked.

"Yes, she just asked me if I have been to Liuzhuang!" Lou Xinyue's beautiful face was covered with frost. Her kindness almost hurt Guan Ning.

Nie Nan was furious when he heard this, and his righteous and handsome face was filled with murderous intent.

"Liuzhuang?"

"Tell me! Did Liu Jin send you here?"

The old woman was seriously injured, especially the two kicks from Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue, which almost collapsed her chest. At this moment, she was tied up and kneeling on the ground, bleeding from the corners of her mouth, and refused to speak.

Seeing that he was being stubborn, Nie Nan was furious and drew his sword. He felt very guilty about Guan Ning's injury.

"Say it or not?!"

The old woman shuddered, clenched her teeth, and still dared not speak.

At this time, Guan Ning stepped forward and said, "Brother Nie, in my opinion, it is most likely not Liu Jin."

Everyone was at a loss.

"Brother Ning, why?" Nie Nan frowned. He was still relatively calm, but he was too angry and almost got tricked.

"Even if Liu Jin has ten times the courage, I don't think he would dare to plot against you like this. I wonder if it's someone behind Liu Jin?" Guan Ning tried. He saw that day that Liu Jin almost didn't call Nie Nan his real father. How could he dare to send assassins?

Hearing this, the old woman was shocked again and looked at Guan Ning in horror. This confirmed Guan Ning's guess that it was not Liu Jin!

Nie Nan's eyes changed: "Could it be him?"

"Who?"

"Long Yun, the man behind Liu Jin, is the leader of the Long family, one of the seven branches of the Ba people. Liuzhuang belongs to his sphere of influence!" Nie Nan said, anger filling his eyes, gritting his teeth.

"Whoever dares to touch my friends will pay the price!"

boom!

He picked up the old woman and said, "Tell me, was it Long Yun who sent you here?"

"You dare not confess, and you will bear the consequences!"

The old woman shuddered, but still refused to speak, as if she was afraid of something.

Nie Nan lost his patience and immediately began to force a confession.

The wind on the mountainside was getting stronger and stronger. Time passed by minute by minute, but the old woman still refused to speak. If the stalemate continued, it would probably delay the rest of the journey.

Guan Ning stepped out at the right moment: "Brother Nie, why don't you let me try?"
