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

Chapter 414

Only then did she see her surroundings clearly. She was indeed in the middle of a turbulent river with a bridge over it, from which the carriage had overturned.

Mo Zhonggui grabbed her with one hand, and with a push of his foot, he stepped on the carriage, using the force to try to lift her onto the bridge!

The carriage, which was already mostly submerged, sank even further under the heavy weight and disappeared into the surging waves of the river.

But just then, a "Naihe" assassin on the riverbank, seeing that Mo Zhonggui had rescued Shen Lingjun, unleashed a barrage of hidden weapons at them like a shower of flowers!

Mo Zhonggui suddenly turned his head, his pupils shrinking sharply!

He's already in mid-air, with nothing to hold onto, and he only has a sword in his hand. There's no way he can possibly deflect so many hidden weapons!

He could either throw Shen Lingjun in, in which case she wouldn't be hit by the hidden weapon, but the river below was raging, and Shen Lingjun couldn't swim now. If she fell in, she would be swept away by the current, and by the time he rescued her, he didn't know if she would still be alive.

"stop!"

At that very moment, Fu Shi Yan's angry shout rang out!

Along with the sound came his figure, who pounced down from the bridge towards Shen Lingjun.

With a pair of curved blades in his hands, he wielded them, creating a dazzling display of light and clanging sounds, deflecting all the hidden weapons from Shen Lingjun!

Mo Zhonggui was then able to pull the unharmed Shen Lingjun onto the bridge above.

Fu Shiyan flicked out a streak of light—an extremely thin golden rope with a hook. The hook caught on the bridge railing, and he used the momentum to swing and land on the opposite side of the bridge.

He was already poisoned by Yu Chen, and was only suppressing the poison with his internal energy. After this series of actions, his internal energy surged, triggering the poison to take effect, and a stream of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. The black aura between his brows intensified, but his face turned deathly pale.

But with his brows furrowed and clutching his chest, he still forced himself to speak and command, "No one is allowed to lay a hand on her!"

Who she is needs no further explanation.

The surrounding assassins all looked puzzled, but they still obeyed the orders of the talisman master.

Mo Zhonggui was so angry that he laughed instead.

"You're not allowed to lay a hand on her? You'd better see if you even have the life to do so again!"

The sound of rapid, dense hoofbeats echoed from the riverbank as a large number of Eastern Depot experts rode towards the bridge and surrounded it.

Mo Zhonggui said coldly, "Leave no one alive!"

The assassins fought and retreated, protecting Fu Shi Yan as they walked backward until they reached the edge of the bridge where there was nowhere left to retreat.

Fu Shiyan gave Shen Lingjun a deep look.

"See you later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped over and fell into the river.

But there was no splashing sound of water being poured in.

Shivering from the cold, Shen Lingjun looked out at the distant river and saw that Fu Shiyan had landed on a small sampan drifting down the river.

Two more "Helpless" assassins were rowing on the small sampan, moving at an extremely fast speed, and in an instant they had drifted far away.
