Chapter 650: Puppetry

wasn't for the imperial decree, I would have left long ago.”>"Song'er, you, you are really different from before." Ning Feng was even impressed by her magnanimity. Even his sister, such a carefree per...Not long after they turned back, the sound of fighting came from ahead. The sounds seemed intense. As they got closer, they saw a large group of masked men in scarlet robes attacking Qian Simu and his companions.

These people should all be well-trained assassins, and they had premeditated it. As soon as they made a move, they used killing moves. All the guards around Qian Sichin were killed in just a few moves. Only Qian Sichin and Chu Tianqi and the others remained there, holding on hard. Plus, they still had to protect the women in the carriage. They were stretched thin and seemed about to be overwhelmed. Fortunately, Qian Tingxuan and the others arrived just in time.

Xiao Yu Ge originally didn't intend to step forward to help, but she was worried that the weapons in those assassins' hands were poisonous and would harm Qian Ting Xuan and the others. So, she said to Yin Yue Princess: "A Yue, you go to the carriage, Qing Ni is still there."

"Alright then, be careful." Princess Yin Yue knew that with her own skill, even if she went up, it would only distract them. So, she listened to Xiao Ge's words and came outside the carriage.

"Miss!" Qingni jumped out of the carriage at this moment. Though her martial arts didn't seem very high, she still wanted to protect her master.

The two master and servant stood guard outside the carriage. Of course, with the arrival of Qian Tingxuan and his men, those assassins couldn't get close to the carriage at all. Moreover, it seemed that those assassins had a very clear purpose, as if they were targeting Qian SiChen.

Xiao Yuge leaped and landed beside Qian Tingxuan, kicking one of the assassins away with a swift kick!

“Little Song, I told you to watch from the side!” Qian Tingxuan immediately took a step back when he saw her join the battle, standing with his back against hers. These people’s martial arts were not weak, and there were many of them. They were only a few people, and they were at a disadvantage. He was worried that Song would get hurt.

"Being by your side, I feel more at ease." Even at this time, Xiao Yuge still didn't forget to say something sweet. Perhaps it was because she had been with him for a long time and gradually started to be influenced by him. Now, she often came up with a few lovey-dovey phrases that made people blush.

"Hmm." Men like to hear sweet words too, even someone as high-profile as Qian Tingxuan. Knowing that the cherry-shaped lips were probably saying more for effect than truth, it was still enjoyable to listen to.

"Be careful!" Xiao Yu Ge warned him.

Qian Tingxuan immediately grabbed her waist, spun lightly, and Xiao Yuge, taking advantage of his strength, kicked up with one leg. With a series of "bang" sounds, several assassins around them were kicked away!

They worked seamlessly together, like a well-oiled machine. Wherever they went, assassins scattered in fear.

Thousands of thoughts and dust saw Little Prince Concubine and his people arrive, and his confidence surged instantly. Of course, seeing Little Prince Concubine and Ge'er fight so tacitly, he felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Especially when he saw Ge'er look at Little Prince Concubine, her confident and flirtatious smile made him incredibly jealous.

When he was distracted, a killer's sword came right at him. He suddenly woke up and turned his head to dodge it, but almost got hit by the person who had attacked him from behind!

Only a clang rang out, Xiao Yu Ge was not far from him, just barely deflecting the assassin's sword with a hidden weapon. Qian Si Chen suddenly came to his senses and quickly retaliated, but he heard Xiao Yu Ge's cold voice in his ear: "If you don't want to die, don't get distracted!"

It was only then that Qian Si Chen realized it was Ge'er who had saved him. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly banished all distractions, focusing his entire being on his enemy.

Xiao Yuge hadn't intended to save him, but at this moment, if he died here, with the emperor's deep suspicions, Qian Tingxuan might face unfounded suspicion upon his return to Beijing. Therefore, she saved him out of convenience. If there wasn't anyone she cared about here, she could have stood by and watched Qian Sichen being killed without a care.

To Qian Si's view, it was different. He felt that at a critical moment, Ge'er could still reach out to save him, which proved that in her heart, there must still be his place. All the past things, she was just trying to get even with him.

Initially, they thought those assassins were just skilled in martial arts. But gradually, they realized something was amiss. Those assassins seemed impervious to pain, and even more frighteningly, every time they got injured, their martial arts seemed to improve further. They felt nothing when hit, but a single punch from them could shatter bones.

"Puppetry!"

Xiao Yu and He Ming almost thought of it at the same time.

Puppetry is a type of ninjutsu in the martial arts world. It involves inserting a needle coated with a special medicinal substance into specific acupoints beforehand, which activates the human body's potential, allowing one to fully unleash their martial arts skills and strength. They can even block pain sensation, so even if they get injured, they won't feel any pain, and they will become even stronger.

However, this puppetry technique also has drawbacks. Its duration is limited to a maximum of one hour. Once the effect wears off, their martial arts skills will be greatly reduced, even resembling an ordinary person. Because this method is too vicious, generally, even if people in the Jianghu know about it, they won't easily use it.

And these assassins actually dared to use this technique, holding the unwavering determination to kill Qian Si Chen to death. It's unknown who was so ruthless, even towards their own people, with such cruelty.

"Everyone, gather together!" Qian Tingxuan called out. Qian Sichun and the others lined up back to back, forming a circle.

Puppetry is invincible, the only way to deal with it is to exhaust them until their techniques are depleted. However, in one hour, wanting to survive against so many assassins is still quite difficult.

“Kill them!” The masked man at the head roared, and his men rushed towards Qian Si Chen and the others like madmen. Before long, Qian Si Chen was kicked away with a heavy blow, landing hard on the ground!

"Si Chen gege!"

Inside the carriage, Xiao Yufu saw Qian Sicheng being flung back and landing on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth. She didn't even care about her own injuries, leaping out of the carriage to rush to Qian Sicheng's side.

"Get out of here!" Qian Sicheng pushed her away in pain, but she was only making things worse. She couldn't fight and just got in the way. He had to split his attention to save her as well.

Xiao Yu-fu was pushed aside and her injury was aggravated, causing tears to well up in her eyes. Her pain wasn't just from the wound itself, but also from his careless shove.

A killer perhaps saw the unusual relationship between Xiao Yufu and Qian Siyin, and immediately pointed his long sword at Xiao Yufu!

"Ah!"

Xiao Yu Fu stared at the sword stabbing toward her, her face pale with fright, she cried out in alarm!

Seeing this, Princess Yin Yue immediately rushed over, effortlessly deflecting the assassin's sword with her own. Then, she pulled Xiao Yu Fu up and said, "Don't you know your own capabilities Creating such a mess! Honestly!"

After finishing, she roughly pulled Xiao Yufu onto the carriage and glared at An Ling: "Take good care of your mistress!" She had no good feelings for this pair of master and servant because in her eyes, they were both wicked, their hearts were poisonous, and they only thought about how to harm others. If not for Song'er's sake, she wouldn't even bother with their lives or deaths.ad. Turning back, she just happened to see Qian Ting Xuan leaning coolly against the door, looking at her with a half-smile, making her face flush. She grumbled, "Hey, what did you tell the children""...
