Chapter 1279 The Foolish Woman
After confirming that the moat embankment had indeed been deliberately destroyed, Chu Qianli and Feng Yexuan were about to return.
Unexpectedly, after walking only a dozen steps, Feng Yexuan suddenly stopped.
Before turning back, Chu Qianli behind him had already assumed a defensive posture.
A hint of decay wafted through the wind.
Like a phantom!
Chu Qianli's heart trembled, and she looked sharply at Feng Yexuan.
Feng Yexuan seemed to know the person behind him was looking at him.
Although he no longer liked this woman, some tacit understanding inexplicably remained.
Medicine people!
It was the aura of medicine people!
Yet, it felt slightly different.
Chu Qianli moved her lips, her mind racing.
Did Prince Xuan know that a team of medicine people might be related to his mother, Hua Rong?
However, the medicine people this time might not have been sent by Hua Rong.
Several countries kept medicine people. Could these people have intricate connections behind them?
Was there cooperation between the mastermind of the Southern Ming medicine people and a certain medicine people legion in the Northern Ming?
"You go first."
"You go back first!"
Feng Yexuan turned back, staring at the woman who told him to go first, and narrowed his eyes.
He, the dignified Prince Xuan, needed a woman to protect him?
Chu Qianli, however, seemed to have other ideas: "Your Highness, you are not feeling well tonight, you should go first..."
"I am not so weak as to need you to cover my retreat!"
Feng Yexuan waved his large hand, and a cloud of dust immediately rose on the dark path ahead.
Someone grunted dully and fell into the roadside weeds, unable to get up again.
At that moment, over a dozen dark figures pounced out, heading straight for him.
"Prince Xuan, you are indeed not suited to exert your true qi tonight."
Chu Qianli flicked her wrist, took out a long sword from the Qiankun chain, and threw it forward: "Catch!"
Feng Yexuan didn't even turn his head, casually grabbed it, and caught the long sword.
Upon seeing it, although it was not a famous sword, it was clear it was extremely sharp.
This woman could always surprise him.
If she wasn't so promiscuous, if she didn't fall for everyone she met...
Feng Yexuan's brow furrowed, his gaze deepened, and he suddenly felt annoyed.
Whether she was promiscuous or fell for everyone she met, what did it have to do with him?
"Thank you!"
His slender body leaped up with his low voice, and with a swing of his long sword, several medicine people fell into the black blood, never to rise again.
Chu Qianli was not idle either. Dealing with medicine people, her short knife was no longer enough.
There was no second long sword in the Qiankun chain. The anesthetic gun made by Long Xinghe was very effective against normal people, but its effect on medicine people was minimal.
In a flash, medicine people surrounded her from behind.
Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened, and he flicked away the medicine person behind her with a sword.
"Facing a great enemy, yet you're distracted?" He thought this damned woman was truly formidable, but unexpectedly, she was just like this!
Chu Qianli glared at him.
If she hadn't given him her only long sword, would it have come to this?
However, now was not the time to argue.
With a swish, the short knife was in her hand, and she stabbed at a medicine person.
Unexpectedly, before the knife could touch the medicine person, Feng Yexuan grabbed her by the collar and yanked her back.
"What are you doing?" This scoundrel!
"The medicine on their bodies is filled with poison. At such close range, do you want to be poisoned too?"
Simply a foolish woman!
"Do you think I want to?"
Chu Qianli could only condense her true qi in her short knife and slash outwards, piercing the chests of two medicine people from a distance.
"I've already inside... Feng Yexuan, be careful!"
