Assassination
Ouyang Jinqiu was now relaxed, coming and going with ease. As she walked, she admired the scenery in the mansion, although it remained unchanged, but her mood had changed, becoming more calm and confident.
As she walked, Ouyang Jinqiu approached the gate of the Wang Mansion. Looking at the soldiers guarding the entrance, she recalled her encounter with them when she first entered the mansion and couldn't help but smile.
As Ou Yang Jin Xi approached, the soldier on horseback dismounted and greeted her, saying: "Third Miss, you're safe. I didn't know it was really you last time, I'm afraid I offended you, please forgive me."
"It's nothing, just a misunderstanding. Fortunately, I didn't use much force that day, so none of you are seriously hurt, right?" Ou Yang Jin Xi's lips curled up into an eerie smile.
"It's Miss Tuo's good fortune, and none of the little ones were seriously hurt." The squad leader Wei immediately echoed in agreement, thinking to himself, "Good grief! You're quite lenient this time. I still have a few brothers who haven't gotten up yet."
"How's my horse? Are you taking good care of it?" Ou Yang Jin Xi asked.
"Don't worry, miss. I've taken good care of your horse, it's plump and well-fed, not a bit neglected, even more meticulous than taking care of my own son." As he spoke, the captain ordered someone to lead the horse out.
Looking at the horse walking from afar, it was clear that it had become much stronger than before, and its mane was also smoother. Ouyang Jinqiu thought to himself, "It seems like it's been doing well lately." He looked up at the guard captain and smiled slightly, saying: "Thanks for your trouble!"
"It is a great honor for me to be able to do something for Third Miss, no matter how small it may seem"
"Good, I love to hear that." Ouyang Jinqi smiled and nodded, took over the reins, got up and jumped onto the horseback, whipped the whip, and lightly tapped the horse's back, and galloped away.
She just didn't notice a pair of eyes staring at her tightly in the depths of the courtyard.
Far away from the mansion, Ouyang Jinqiu rode his horse slowly westward, and he would soon reach his destination, the Demon Beast Forest. As he passed through a bamboo forest, Ouyang Jinqiu subconsciously slowed down his pace.
This is a dense bamboo forest, even in broad daylight, you can't see much sunlight. With her years of special training intuition, things are not that simple here!
Suddenly, three swift sounds came from behind Ouyang Jinqiu's body, one from each of the three directions. It was clear that they were three fast-moving hidden weapons. Ouyang Jinqiu didn't dare to be careless, and with a burst of speed, he leapt up onto a short bamboo stalk more than ten meters above his original position, landing as lightly as a swallow.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three dark projectiles flew towards Ouyang Jinqiu's face again. Unfazed, Ouyang Jinqiu stretched out his hand and snapped a broken bamboo beside him, mobilizing his spiritual energy to transform the bamboo into a sword.
Bang! Bang! Bang! The three loud noises blocked the flying hidden weapons, Ouyang Jinqiu stood up and lightly landed on the ground, shouting: "You have the guts to kill people, but not the guts to show yourself?"
Silence! An eerie silence! The only sound was the wind rustling through the bamboo leaves. Ou Yang Jin Xi had already analyzed the position of the attackers as he spoke, they were distributed in a triangular formation around him.
Ouyang Jinqiu took a defensive stance, thinking: these three people surrounded themselves, and could only find a breakthrough from one of them. She nodded slightly with a shallow smile, picked up a thicker bamboo stick from her side, and swept it towards the person closest to her.
Just as she was moving stealthily through the forest, the assassin seemed to have sensed Ou Yang Jin Xi's intentions and kept moving in pursuit, firing hidden weapons. At this moment, countless flying knives were coming towards her like hailstones, surrounding Ou Yang Jin Xi.
