They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 297 The Hand Is Invalid

He walked over, rolled up his sleeves, and placed both hands on her temples.

His hands massaged her temples with a gentle, moderate pressure.

This relieved her tense nerves, and Wu Ziyan didn't seem particularly surprised.

They simply tacitly approved of his actions.

Meanwhile, Yan and several men in black had been secretly watching.

Now all the experts around him had left, leaving only one person who seemed to only know a little bit of the basics.

This is a perfect opportunity to get started.

Simply rushing forward with a knife to kill is definitely not enough; we still need to launch a surprise attack from the shadows.

Just as the arrow was aimed at Wu Ziyan's head, Yue'er walked in from outside.

The arrow flew off the bowstring in an instant, and Yue'er slightly closed the door, the arrow hitting the door frame just in time.

The moment Yue'er stepped inside, she broke out in a cold sweat.

He mechanically turned around to see that the arrow tip had already pierced the door frame, and quickly hid behind the table next to him.

"Young master, Your Highness! Someone is trying to kill me!"

Wu Ziyan shook her head, and Fang Yuerong also let go of her hand, seemingly there to kill her.

It seems that their assassination attempt at Hanlu Temple failed, and they have pursued us to this Qin Prefecture.

However, she was somewhat curious: what kind of assassin was this, and how much money did they receive? They were so dedicated.

"You two hide well, the assassin is definitely coming for me."

"My boss."

"Don't worry, not many will die."

The archer who had fired the arrow was also stunned. It was clearly a perfect opportunity to get a headshot, but the door blocked it.

It's probably not easy to find another opportunity now, as the people inside are already on guard.

Just then, Wu Ziyan opened the door, her eyes seemingly meeting Yan's.

Even though they were still so far apart, Yan felt a chill creeping over her.

Wu Ziyan even stretched out a hand and waved his five fingers as a greeting.

His eyes were smiling, capturing the essence of Mo Baiyun's mannerisms. Was he implying that he was here to kill me?

Yan drew her bow and shot an arrow again. Since she was so shameless, she might as well grant her wish.

He seemed to have some skill in dodging arrows; he slightly turned his body, and the arrow flew to the side.

Wu Ziyan was drenched in sweat; she was terrified. Meanwhile, Fang Yuerong, hiding in the corner, had already spotted where Yan was.

Of the six arts of a gentleman, riding and archery were certainly his forte.

Although he didn't have a bow and arrows, Wu Ziyan handed him a crossbow when he went out, and no one knew where he had taken it from.

In that very moment, she used herself as bait to find out where Yan was.

Moreover, crossbows are relatively easy to operate; you only need to pull the trigger to fire three arrows in quick succession.

The arrow fell to the ground the instant it was fired.

Fang Yuerong flashed out of the room, holding a crossbow in one hand.

With one arm resting on the crossbow, he pulled the trigger, and three arrows shot towards the flames.

The speed seemed even faster than an arrow; the two assassins beside him didn't have time to dodge and were shot in the hand and neck!

Wu Ziyan made a cheering gesture and shouted "Nice!"

Although Fang Yuerong didn't know what she was shouting, she knew that she had hit the person opposite her.

Wu Ziyan quickly hid inside the door and closed it tightly.

Seeing that shooting arrows was not working, and since she only had a few henchmen around her, Yan decided to just draw her sword and hack them to death.

Just as he was about to jump down from the dark wall, he heard the soldiers returning in a grand procession.

They found the person so quickly? Normally, they can't even find a cat or dog, and this person found them so easily?

There was no other option but to make a tactical retreat.

Fang Yuerong held the crossbow in her hand. This did not seem to be an item from this dynasty. Where did Wu Ziyan get it?

"Master, where did you get this?"

"Oh...you can think of this as a gift from a deity. The deity didn't want me to die, so they gave me this."

Fang Yuerong gave her a look of pity, as if she were looking at someone with intellectual disabilities, as if to say, "Who are you trying to fool? Nobody believes you!"

"Take it if you want it, give it back if you don't."

"Yes, it's a really good weapon for self-defense and killing enemies."

"So the assassin left?" Yue'er poked her head out; she had really scared him to death just now.

"I'm not sure, you should stay behind the table for now."

Wu Ziyan was telling the truth, and even moved to the next table and blew out the candles on it.

It wasn't until they heard the orderly footsteps outside that they realized they had returned from their "bandit suppression" operation.

"No need to hide anymore, they're back."

Hearing this, Yue'er finally came out from behind the table.

Fang Yuerong was about to open the door, but Wu Ziyan pulled her behind him and said, "I'll do it."

He was taken aback for a moment, then realized she was concerned for his safety and asked her to open the door.

Chu Qiu and his partner returned first, while the other couple was carrying a tiger.

Upon seeing Chu Qiu and Changsun Boyou, Wu Ziyan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Are you alright?"

Chu Qiu shook his head, and Changsun Bo smiled and said, "Something happened, they were terrified. Of course, it's them."

"where are they?"

"They'll be there soon, probably figuring out how to break up those two tigers."

"Ah, tiger!"

Then, Changsun Boyu recounted to them what had happened underground.

It sounded incredibly dangerous, but they had no idea what was happening underground.

All I know is that they managed to lift up two dead tigers.

She's never seen a tiger before, except for the zoo.

Those who wanted to watch the spectacle were filled with mixed emotions of excitement and unease.

Fang Yuerong, true to her business acumen, had her eyes light up at the mention of tigers.

I'm already thinking about how to dismantle the tiger to make it valuable.

Seeing how curious the two were, the two tigers were carried back after a while.

The soldiers also withdrew and went back. Wu Ziyan stepped forward and exchanged pleasantries with Chu Yu, asking her if she was alright.

Without listening to Chu Yu's serious reply, she ran off to see the tiger.

Even in death, he still looks very dignified.

As expected of the king of beasts, and most importantly, these two tigers have a pleasant fragrance, not the fishy or pungent smell one might expect.

"Wow, you two killed the tiger! Even Wu Song would have to admit defeat. He even said he drank some wine to bolster his courage before fighting the tiger."

"Who is Wu Song? Is he an old friend of Miss Ziyan?" Fang Yuerong asked.

"No, it's just from a storybook, and he also fought a tiger."

While answering, I reached out and stroked the fur, which was very smooth. I wonder what it was fed when it was alive.

"They grew up eating people." I don't know who said that.

The hand stroking the fur stopped abruptly—it grew up eating people!

This is absolutely horrifying! How many people would it take to grow this big?!

Chu Yu walked over: "This is indeed a creature that grew by eating people. There are many human bones in the cave."

She quickly withdrew her hand. She wasn't scared; she wasn't scared at all!

"Alright, that's all for this matter. I've already written a letter informing people in the capital to handle the details."

"It's dawn now, but we still have to keep going. Hopefully, we won't encounter these problems in the next few prefectures and counties."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

Looking at my hands that had just been stroking the fur, I felt they were dirty and unusable!
