Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1151

Zeng Xiao reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side, the dagger grazing his neck and leaving a bloody mark.

He swung a backhand punch, slamming it heavily into the assassin's chest. The assassin groaned and staggered back a few steps, but quickly regained his footing and lunged forward again.

If anyone slips, they will sink into the mud.

Lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the狰狞 faces.

Zeng Xiao, standing beside Murong Yu, had a cold and stern gaze. Every thrust of his long sword was incredibly precise. He parried and attacked from the left and right, repelling the approaching assassins one by one.

A black-clad assassin attacked from behind. Upon noticing this, Leng Yan whirled around, his longsword flashing out like lightning, piercing straight through the assassin's chest.

The assassin's eyes widened, his face still showing lingering terror, as he slowly collapsed.

After a while, Xiao Dingquan arrived with a team of skilled archers.

Arrows and raindrops rained down on the black-clad assassin.

The sudden attack left them with no way to stop it, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Only after seeing this did Cui Yonghe come out.

He also had secret guards by his side, whose martial arts skills were extremely high.

He killed many soldiers as soon as he came out.

"Grand Preceptor Cui, what is the meaning of this?" Murong Yu asked coldly.

Cui Yonghe, dressed in a black robe, had eyes as cold as knives. "Murong Yu, you detained my son and now you're asking me what my intentions are?"

“If you don’t release my son today, my Cui family will surely massacre the capital.”

Murong Yu laughed and said, "Alright!"

"Your Cui family has the audacity to try and steal the dragon vein of my Great Xia Dynasty. Your intentions are truly sinister. Today, I will ensure that you never return."

Cui Yonghe's heart tightened; he hadn't expected that the man already knew the truth.

However, he quickly calmed down.

So what if he knew? He's already planned everything. The heavy rain has made the mountain roads slippery and difficult to navigate, and he's had all the roads blocked off.

His reinforcements couldn't possibly arrive here so quickly.

Bai Daozi was held up by his men and couldn't come over at all.

He has already set up a formation here.

He only needs to take a drop of Murong Yu's essence blood, and that will be enough.

"Kill them!" Cui Yonghe roared.

"If the eldest son is successfully produced, the Imperial Preceptor will be richly rewarded."

Even now, they're still using the excuse of saving their son.

What a shameless scoundrel.

Cui Yonghe rushed over directly.

Zeng Xiao, Leng Yan, and Xiao Dingquan all came to stop them.

But they were no match for him.

Cui Yonghe exuded a fierce aura, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, and charged straight at Zeng Xiao, Xiao Dingquan, and Leng Yan.

His black robe fluttered in the wind and rain, and with each step he took, the ground seemed to tremble slightly, splashing up large amounts of muddy water.

Zeng Xiao took the initiative, his longsword flashing with a sharp, cold light as it stabbed towards Cui Yonghe like a silver snake spitting its tongue.

Cui Yonghe remained calm and easily dodged the fatal blow by slightly shifting his body to the side.

His movements seemed casual, yet perfectly timed, as if he had already seen through Zeng Xiao's every intention.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out a hand and firmly grasped Zeng Xiao's wrist like an iron clamp. With a gentle twist, Zeng Xiao felt a sharp pain coming from his wrist, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

Ah!

Zeng Xiao grunted.

"You think you can kill me?" Only now did Cui Yonghe realize who he was.

Isn't this one of the advisors he recruited a couple of years ago?

Unexpectedly, he was actually an undercover agent sent by Murong Yu to his side.

Cui Yonghe was immediately enraged and wanted to kill him.
