Chapter 212 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
"What's going on?" Rong Qingzhu in the next yard was awakened. The noise here was quite loud, especially the sound of these people being knocked down by Chu Xi, which alarmed the guards outside.
These guards were all elites Zhou Yichen brought from the capital. They were originally guarding Rong Qingzhu's yard. After hearing the noise here, half of the guards quickly rushed into the yard.
After the flood, most of the things in the yard had been washed away, leaving only bare land. I guess there must have been some flowers and plants grown there before.
It’s good that there are no flowers and plants now. Otherwise, if they continue to beat them like this, I’m afraid that if there were any, they would be destroyed and nothing would be left.
Chu Xi was wearing a moon-white brocade robe, and you could hardly tell its original color. The white was stained with blood, and the spreading color made people who didn't know think that Chu Xi herself was injured...
Chu Xi wielded the sword freely and forgot about the injury on her arm. It was the sudden pain that made her realize that her injury had not yet healed.
A figure behind him suddenly flew into the air, holding a sword in both hands, and slashed towards Chu Xi's head.
Chu Xi was aware of this, but before she could fight back, a long thin whip quickly flashed past her eyes and neatly swept away the sword.
"You dare to move my people!" Jiang Zhenyao swung the whip with a neat movement, and the long sword naturally flew out with her movement.
Chu Xi coordinated with her movements, raised his sword and stabbed, hitting the assassin right in the chest. When the opponent fell facing him, he dodged sideways accurately and easily.
The assassin fell to the ground and was dead after a moment.
"How did you get here?" Chu Xi had dealt with many assassins, and now there were only nine people left who could still fight.
"There's such a big commotion here, it sounds like something's wrong, so of course I have to come over to take a look!"
Jiang Zhenyao stepped on the shoulders of the two assassins and flew to Chu Xi's side with light skills. She wielded the whip in her hand as if it were her own arm, and she was very skilled in doing so.
Wherever the whip was swung, even if the assassins did not die, they would have a whip wound on their bodies and their clothes would be torn.
The fact that her martial arts skills were enough to compete with Chu Xi before was enough to prove that she was not just a show. The martial arts skills of these assassins were not low, at least on par with Jiang Zhenyao.
The battle in Zhou Yichen's house was over. All the corpses were carried out by the secret guards and thrown into the yard.
The remaining few people saw this and realized that staying would only lead to their deaths, so one of them said, "Retreat."
"Want to leave?" Zheng Hao said in a slightly cold tone, "It's too late."
Several people wanted to escape, Chu Er, Zheng Hao, and the secret guards retreated from the house and quickly surrounded the assassins who wanted to escape, and a battle was about to break out.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhenyao put away the whip and wrapped it around her waist with quick and skillful movements.
"Are these assassins targeting you? Or Your Highness?" Jiang Zhenyao asked directly.
"All of them." Chu Xi said calmly, "Since His Highness came, assassins have become commonplace, every night. If there is no such movement one day, I really can't get used to it!"
"With just these few people, they want to kill you and Your Highness? Do they underestimate you?" Jiang Zhenyao raised her eyebrows and teased Chu Xi.
Chu Xi was in no mood to joke with Jiang Zhenyao. During this period, most of the assassins, whether from Xichu or Japan, had been captured by them. Even those who escaped were seriously injured.
No matter how much the people from Xichu and Dongying looked down on Chu Xi before, after these few times, they will never look down on her like that again!
There is only one possibility that can explain it clearly, that is, they wanted to kill both himself and Zhou Yichen, but in fact they didn't hold much hope!
Zhou Yichen strode towards Chu Xi, his eyes once again falling on Chu Xi's right arm, which had been patched up earlier, "Your wound..."
"Nothing." Chu Xi's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and she no longer cared about the wound.
Jiang Zhenyao tied her hair into a high ponytail and dressed like a man, but her feminine features could not be concealed. Such a heroic outfit was eye-catching.
She placed her fingers on the whip she carried with her, tapping it slowly and calmly, "Daddy said that the two princes of Xichu are already on their way back. Now is a good time for Xichu to take action against you!"
Zhou Yichen glanced at Jiang Zhenyao with deep and cold eyes, as if thinking about something.
Hands on...
If we take action at this time and there are not many people sent out, there can only be one possibility, and that is - to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
Killing Zhou Yichen and myself was just a byproduct, their target was someone else...
In other words, the target is not necessarily to target a certain person, but to capture a certain city...
She came to the border ahead of time, and the plot was advanced, but the system did not judge her as OOC, which means that although the timeline was advanced, the general plot has not changed!
"Who is guarding the city gate today? And the patrol team arranged by the street..."
Chu Xi's eyes changed and she quickly looked at Chu Er, especially when she found that these assassins seemed to be coming with great force, but in fact they seemed to want to delay time and entangle her so that she would have no time to escape.
"I don't know. These were arranged by General Han." Chu Er answered in a low voice.
What did you notice?
"Go to the city gate." Chu Xi walked out without any hesitation. "Go inform General Han and ask him to arrange patrols to arrest anyone who is abnormal in the city and interrogate them carefully afterwards!"
"There is still food!" Zhou Yichen reminded from the side that it would be best to take action against those spies who have not been completely dug out during the chaos, and...food is the most important supply.
"Master, your hand..." Chu Er glanced at the blood-stained sleeve of Chu Xi's right arm and frowned.
"It's okay." Chu Xi walked out quickly, and soon someone led the horse out of the stable. She moved quickly, turned 180 degrees, and sat on the horse neatly and steadily.
Such a beautiful and neat movement made Zhou Yichen's eyelids jump behind him. If he continues like this, Qibai's hands will really be useless!
He no longer hesitated, waved his hand, signaling someone to bring the horse over, and then he mounted the horse.
The movements were exactly the same as Chu Xi's, but a little slower than Chu Xi's.
Jiang Zhenyao followed without saying a word.
Rather than staying in the mansion waiting for news, she would rather go to the battlefield in person.

Han Yaojun lived in a house not far from the county magistrate's mansion. He had a number of memorials in his hands, all of which were lists of suspected spies of the Seventh and Eighth Princes.
Before he could figure out what to do with this group of people, Chu Er arrived in a hurry.
As soon as he heard Chu Er's name, he immediately guessed that something might have happened to the Third Prince. If nothing had happened, given Bai's personality, he would never send anyone over so late at night.
"Let him in." Han Yaojun said calmly.
Chu Er calmly said everything Chu Xi asked him to repeat.
Han Yaojun's expression changed, "I understand. You go and protect your master first. I will take care of the food and the safety of the city."
Food is the most critical thing at all times and there must not be any mistake.
