Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

His blood and qi surged throughout his body, as if something was about to burst through his meridians. The poison's onslaught was fierce, causing him extreme pain and torment.

Cang Ling also suffered many external injuries; her clothes were torn by sharp blades and stained with blood.

Besides the two disheveled men, there were five other people in the room dressed identically to the men who had died with their eyes wide open at the door. Six people had come in total.

It's remarkable that so many people fought in this small room without completely demolishing it;

"Oh, so you're ganging up on us?"

Under the gaze of those inside, Gu Nanzhi's disdainful voice rang out.

The sudden commotion and the appearance of the person alerted the assassins, but upon seeing that the newcomer was merely a frail young girl, they displayed a dismissive attitude.

But he still issued a warning.

"Where did this wild girl come from? I advise you to mind your own business and get lost, or I'll kill you too."

They were assassins, paid to do their jobs. They had heard of Jun Yanchen's reputation as the War God and the Crippled King, and thought that six people could easily complete the assassination. To save effort, they even used sleeping powder. However, they didn't expect that the master and servant were so vigilant that they weren't affected by the sleeping powder.

After several exchanges, they only suffered minor injuries. Moreover, the supposedly short-lived crippled king actually possessed such profound internal strength, sending one of their brothers flying with a mere wave of his hand.

This forced them to take the matter seriously. However, as assassins, they possessed the necessary observational skills. Clearly, Jun Yanchen's previous moves were very strong, but his current condition was far from ideal.

Furthermore, his subordinate was also at a disadvantage, making it much easier to take his life now.

And then this troublesome wild girl appeared;

Clearly, they hadn't noticed the unseeing rage of their brother outside the door, nor had they seen the gunshot that had sounded strange, though they didn't know why. Their priority at that moment was to eliminate Jun Yanchen as quickly as possible, not anything else.

Gu Nanzhi seemed to have thought about it carefully for a moment, then nodded.

"Hmm...you're right, it's alright, you guys continue, I won't disturb you, I'm just watching the show."

Then he pointed to Jun Yanchen on the ground, "By the way, are you here to kill him?"

The assassins: "!!!"

Is this woman sick? Or is she stupid? Isn't she afraid? Is she watching a show? Is this watching a show? She's courting death.

Cang Ling's eyes flashed with a coldness at Gu Nanzhi's attitude. Did the madam really have other plans? Not to mention expecting a weak woman like her to fight against these assassins, was she hoping for her master's death with this attitude?

At the same time, he secretly tried again to break through the barrier blocking his internal energy. Because of the poison, he was unable to use his internal energy, and his martial arts skills were reduced.

The six assassins who arrived were too much for the prince to handle, causing him to use his internal energy and triggering a deadly poison within him. At this moment, the prince's condition was extremely dangerous.

In his current state, he probably couldn't protect his master's safety, but even so, he was willing to risk his life to try.

At the same time, a hint of regret crept into his heart. The guards he had arranged were supposed to arrive late tonight, but he hadn't expected them to be so impatient, unable to wait even after only three days away from the capital.

The assassin arrived early this morning, putting our master in danger;

One of the assassins said menacingly to Gu Nanzhi, "Watching a show? You're asking for death."

"Since you're so eager to die, then so be it. You two will become a pair of illicit lovers in the underworld."

Since they were there to assassinate Jun Yanchen, they should at least have some understanding of her situation. After a little investigation, they could roughly guess the identity of this suddenly appearing young girl. She was probably the princess who had been exiled along with the prince shortly after entering the palace.

Their original target was only Jun Yanchen, but since someone was eager to die, they didn't mind fulfilling that wish.

Jun Yanchen was already somewhat delirious from the surging blood and qi, but the loud noise and the sight of a woman in red at the doorway restored a sliver of his reason.

He managed to utter a few words with difficulty.

"Nan Nan, hurry up!"

The poison took effect fiercely, and his previous internal energy was like a fleeting moment, unable to be sustained. Given his current condition and Cang Ling's abilities, he was unlikely to be able to face this group of assassins.

His life was nearing its end, and he could only leave with resentment, but he didn't want to cause trouble for Nan Nan, who was still so young.

They wanted to kill her too, tsk tsk tsk, the one lying outside said the same thing, too bad...

Gu Nanzhi glanced at Jun Yanchen, who had told her to leave, pointed at him, and confidently and resolutely announced to the assassins,

"His life is temporarily in my hands. You are not to be touched. If you want to live, you have three seconds to leave. Otherwise, I will send you to be reincarnated with the brother who just flew out, to be reborn as humans again."

She, Gu Nanzhi, said she was going to save someone; how could she allow someone else to take their life halfway? Wouldn't that be a provocation to her?

Gu Nanzhi's words were clear, leaving everyone in the room stunned for a moment. Gu Nanzhi meant that the person she had just knocked away had been killed by her.

How did such a delicate woman manage to do that?

Could it be related to that noise just now?

No wonder the person who was kicked out didn't come back in, and a wild girl was allowed to come to the door to watch the show!

Once the assassins understood this, the anger in their eyes instantly became even more ferocious.

"You brat, you're asking for death! You dare kill my brother!"

"Brothers, let's do it! Stop wasting time talking to her, kill her together!"

At a command, the five surviving assassins quickly dispersed, each wielding a sharp blade and attacking the three. They still underestimated Gu Nanzhi, so only one of them thrust at her.

Cang Ling's eyes flashed with surprise. What did Madam mean? So Madam had no ill intentions, and didn't want Master to die, but wanted to protect Master?

With this realization, Cang Ling transferred his previous coldness to the assassins. Without thinking twice, he fought back with his bare hands against the two assassins who were coming towards him.

His eyes were resolute, and he was willing to risk his life for it.

Although Gu Nanzhi spoke frivolously, her right hand, which hung at her sides, gripped a pistol with constant alertness. The moment the assassins made a move, her right hand moved even faster.

Holding a pistol in hand, there's no need for deliberate aiming; the finger simply pulls the trigger.

"Bang, bang, bang"

"what"

In Lone Wolf, she is known as a sharpshooter. Hitting such a large target at such close range is a piece of cake for her.

Three gunshots rang out in quick succession, each hitting its mark. The three assassins fell to the ground; one fell two meters in front of her, while the other two fell right in front of Jun Yanchen.

The unexpected turn of events caused surprise to appear in Jun Yanchen's eyes, which were previously filled with displeasure. He seemed to feel the surging blood and energy within him calm down somewhat.

This also stunned the two assassins who had attacked Cang Ling, as well as Cang Ling herself. For a moment, they forgot their predicament; their raised hands froze in place. They turned back in astonishment to look at the fallen person and the culprit, Gu Nanzhi.

They were filled with confusion and fear as they stared at the black block in her hand. But Gu Nanzhi didn't give them those few seconds to react.

The gun barrel turned, and two more shots rang out in quick succession, "Bang, bang."

The two assassins, still in shock, lay dead with their eyes wide open, never to rise again. They never imagined that they would die so easily at the hands of a frail woman they had looked down upon just a second ago.
