The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

When he caught a glimpse of his clothes out of the corner of his eye, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning: he had completely forgotten that he was dressed as a man.

Then, she started to have wild thoughts uncontrollably: This Third Young Master Long's attitude towards her was ambiguous, not like the attitude towards a brother, but more like the feeling towards someone he liked. Could it be that he has that kind of fetish?

Thinking of this, and feeling the warmth of the man's body behind her, she felt increasingly like she was being pricked by thorns, and wanted to escape from his embrace.

Dongfang Jincheng had been watching the changes in the person in his arms closely. Seeing her shifting uncomfortably, he thought she was feeling unwell and was about to ask when he suddenly sensed a murderous intent. He immediately became alert and held the person in his arms even tighter.

The sky was already getting dark, perfect for murder and robbery.

An arrow pierced the air, but Dongfang Jincheng had already spotted it and scooped up Li Muxia, dodging it to the side.

The whistling arrow grazed past her ear, carrying a sharp gust of wind that instantly tightened Li Muxia's nerves. A thought flashed through her mind: Could she be facing an assassination attempt? What incredible luck! No, an assassination attempt? Who would they kill?

Shangguan Jingye and Dongfang Jinxuan also noticed the danger and reined in their horses.

Shangguan Jingye asked with concern, "Junior brother, are you alright, Third Young Master Long?"

Dongfang Jincheng was focused on looking around when several more arrows came flying at them. He carried Li Muxia and leaped off his horse, dodging the arrows continuously.

The whooshing sound of air being cut forced Li Muxia to hold Dongfang Jincheng tightly.

Shangguan Jingye didn't know kung fu, but luckily Dongfang Jinxuan intervened in time and caught him. Otherwise, he would have definitely fallen off his horse and gotten a face full of shit by now.

Before they could catch their breath, arrows rained down on them, but they skillfully dodged them all.

The other side probably realized that this trick was useless against them, so they simply stopped hiding and more than twenty people flew out from the shadows.

They were all dressed in black, their faces covered with black cloths, revealing only pairs of sinister eyes.

Without a word, the group of men in black attacked Dongfang Jincheng and his companions as soon as they appeared, each move deadly.

Dongfang Jinxuan was struggling to deal with the men in black while also protecting Shangguan Jinxuan. Dongfang Jincheng was also struggling, protecting Li Muxia while dealing with more than a dozen men in black.

Seeing Dongfang Jinxuan's struggle, Shangguan Jingye took out the poison powder his master had given him and ruthlessly sprinkled it on the black-clad men who approached him. The powder was highly lethal, causing anyone who got close to die with blood flowing from all seven orifices. This deterred the black-clad men from daring to approach him again.

Li Muxia had already taken out her scalpel and a bottle of poison from her bag, but because Dongfang Jincheng was too close to her and she was afraid of accidentally injuring him, she held back.

Seeing that Dongfang Jincheng was holding her in one arm and fighting against more than a dozen men in black with a sword in the other, Li Muxia was indeed struggling. She whispered, "Young Master Long, let go of me. I can protect myself. You can't fight with all your might while holding me. In the end, we will both be in danger."

Upon hearing Li Muxia's words, Dongfang Jincheng also felt that things couldn't continue like this. Moreover, it seemed that the group of men in black were after him, and Li Muxia was in greater danger in front of him.

He channeled his inner energy and struck forward, creating an opening for himself. He then swiftly flew out of the encirclement with Li Muxia, placing her beside Shangguan Jingye before rejoining the fight.

The group of men in black were not targeting Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye, so they did not focus too much attention on the two of them.

With Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye no longer holding him back, the battle situation quickly changed for Dongfang Jincheng. Although these men in black were quite skilled, they were no match for Dongfang Jincheng. Even without using his full strength, he could easily kill them.

The leader of the men in black was hiding in a large tree, looking down at the fight below. He realized that his side was at a disadvantage. He looked up and could sense that there was another person there, and that the person was very skilled in martial arts.

Although Dongfang Jincheng was fighting, he was also constantly sensing his surroundings. He knew that there were still some men in black lurking in the shadows, and one of them was very skilled, probably on par with Zhu Feng.

He dared not be careless, nor did he dare to reveal all his skills.

The person in the shadows also noticed Dongfang Jincheng's high regard for Li Muxia and couldn't help but sneer inwardly: I didn't expect the Third Prince, who is usually indifferent to women, to protect a man. It seems that their relationship is not ordinary. If there is a weakness, we should make good use of it.

Thinking of this, he gave some instructions to the person beside him.

Li Muxia and Shangguan Jingye were watching with great interest and were very impressed by Dongfang Jincheng's martial arts skills. They were truly amazing; he could take on ten opponents with ease. At this rate, the battle would be over soon.

Completely unaware, a man in black was lurking in the shadows, quietly preparing to ambush the two.

Dongfang Jincheng could sense a man in black approaching Li Muxia. He was unable to break free at the moment, so he glanced into the shadows. Zhu Feng immediately understood his master's meaning, flew down, and stood behind Li Muxia to fight the attacker.

Li Muxia was startled by the sudden appearance of the person, and the powder in her hand almost hit the person. Fortunately, she saw that the person had come to save her and withdrew her hand in time.

The person in the shadows saw Zhu Feng emerge, smiled, leaped down, and seized Li Muxia.

The incident happened so suddenly that neither Dongfang Jincheng nor Zhufeng had time to stop it, as this person's martial arts skills were superior to Zhufeng's.

The man in black had one hand around Li Muxia's neck and the other hand playing with a dagger, occasionally rubbing it against Li Muxia's face.

The cool touch sent shivers down Li Muxia's spine.

Dongfang Jincheng was very anxious when he saw Li Muxia being captured, but he didn't dare to be careless, especially since he still had four or five men in black with him. He wanted to end the fight quickly to rescue Li Muxia.

The leader saw through Dongfang Jincheng's intentions. He shouted, "Stop, or I'll kill him!"

The scene immediately fell silent.

Dongfang Jincheng looked at Li Muxia and said coldly, "Your target should be me. Release her, and I'll let you do whatever you want with me."

Shangguan Jingye noticed that the men in black were focused on Dongfang Jincheng, and he was holding poison in his hand, preparing to save Li Muxia. Unfortunately, his little scheme was quickly discovered by the men in black.

"You'd better behave yourself, or I can't guarantee he'll be unharmed."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingye dared not move.

Li Muxia was somewhat moved when she heard that Dongfang Jin was willing to risk his own life to save her. He didn't really need to worry about her; he could have left immediately, it would have been so easy for him to escape. But he didn't.

Li Muxia's mind raced. She had to save herself, otherwise she might implicate Dongfang Jincheng.

She knew the man behind her was highly skilled in martial arts, and she had to strike him decisively; otherwise, she might lose her life.
