Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 258

Shen Lingjun immediately said, "I'll go take a look."

The condition of that Xiqi soldier had not improved for a long time. The human brain is the most complex thing in the world, and even the most skilled doctor cannot be 100% certain about this kind of problem. Shen Lingjun could only let nature take its course in the treatment.

When she arrived at Feishuang Courtyard, she indeed saw the Xiqi soldier who had been very quiet all this time, gesturing and talking as if he had a very strong desire to express himself.

But it seems there's something wrong with his language skills; he's speaking in a jumble of syllables, and you can't understand a single word.

Shen Lingjun was about to go up and take his pulse when suddenly her expression turned serious!

She could vaguely smell a very faint, strange odor in the air!

The smell was practically nonexistent; had she not been a doctor with extraordinary sensitivity, she wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Shen Lingjun's expression suddenly changed, and he said to Dou Niang, "There's something wrong with this room! Get out of here quickly! Call Hong Qing over!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and pulled the Xiqi soldier away, trying to take him out with her!

But in that instant, a figure burst through the window!

The other party was dressed entirely in black, with only his eyes showing. He was holding a strange short weapon that looked like a sharp silver spike that gleamed with a green light. He was clearly there to kill someone!

They might have put some kind of sleeping potion or poison in the room first, but they didn't expect her to discover it so quickly, so they simply stormed in!

Shen Lingjun suddenly stepped back, instinctively shielding the Xiqi soldier behind her!

At this moment, all she could think about was that this soldier from Xiqi was the most important witness, and she absolutely could not let him suffer any mishap, otherwise the Shen family might have no hope of turning things around!

The assassin opposite her lunged at her with lightning speed. He was so fast that she only saw a flash of silver-green light before he was right in front of her!

Shen Lingjun studied martial arts with Elder Xingju for several years many years ago, but her talent may have been entirely in medicine. Elder Xingju shook his head as he taught her martial arts, saying that she was really not cut out for it, and gave up, only letting her learn some simple self-defense and physical fitness.

Therefore, Shen Lingjun's skill level was only slightly better than that of an average weak woman. She might be able to deal with a few thugs on the street, but she was completely powerless against an assassin with such high martial arts skills.

She tried her best to back away, but she still couldn't completely dodge it. The assassin's silver dagger cut a very thin gash on her arm!

The tip of the silver spike had an eerie green hue, clearly indicating that it was coated with a potent poison.

The toxicity was so potent that in an instant, Shen Lingjun felt a numbness in her arm, and the stiffness quickly spread throughout her body.

The assassin, having succeeded in his attack, ignored her and immediately stabbed at the Western Qi soldier behind her!

In that split second, a crisp metallic clang rang out, and the silver dagger in the assassin's hand was instantly knocked away!

The newcomer was dressed in black, carrying a short knife in his hand. The gleaming blade reflected the cold light of the moonlight; it was Mo Chonggui.
