Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

The courtyard wasn't large, with only four rooms in total. Gu Jiao checked them one by one, and in the second-to-last room, she found a row of medicine shelves.

There were many medicinal products on the shelves, including jinchuang medicine, hemostatic pills, meridian-clearing pills, etc. However, these weren't what Gu Jiao was looking for.

Finally, at the bottom of one shelf, Gu Jiao saw a dozen or so inconspicuous bottles, each containing unfamiliar medicines.

"Which one is the antidote? Forget it, I'll take them all back and figure it out later."

Gu Jiao took out a sack, excluded the medicines she could identify, and packed the rest of the unfamiliar ones into the sack.

Qin Chuyu was still waiting for the antidote, so Gu Jiao didn't search for anything else. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have emptied the entire villa.

To be safe, Gu Jiao checked the last room as well to make sure she hadn't missed any bottles of medicine before returning to the corridor.

The four Dragon Shadow Guards hadn't been poisoned for long, so their lives weren't in danger. By now, they were able to stand up and exert some power.

"Let's go!" Gu Jiao said to them.

Long Yi grabbed Gu Jiao, using qinggong to leap out of the courtyard.

The other four, still affected by the remaining poison, were able to muster about only three to four tenths of their qinggong skills. However, it was enough to leave this small courtyard.

Next was to leave this place and hurry back to the capital.

The sky was dark, with no stars or moon visible.

The night wind in the second month wasn't as biting as in the dead of winter, but it was still chilling to the bone.

The guards at night were noticeably more stringent than at dusk. They patrolled the main pa.s.sages of the villa in groups of ten——one soldier and nine Dragon Shadow Guards.

When Princess Xinyang mentioned a hundred Dragon Shadow Guards, she wasn't referring to just a hundred people in the villa. Including regular soldiers and leader-figures, there were estimated to be at least two hundred people in total.

Gu Jiao and Long Yi carefully avoided the patrolling State of Yan guards, inching closer to the southern wall of the estate, where they had entered from earlier.

Here, it was closest to the official road and the easiest for evacuation.

Everything was going smoothly, but unexpectedly, a wild cat suddenly jumped out halfway.

This was an unexpected situation. No one expected to encounter a wild cat here.

Xiao Heng was afraid of cats.

Hence, Long Yi instinctively disliked cats.

With his imposing aura, the wild cat was frightened, meowed with fear, and fell from the wall, hitting a dry branch.

The dry branch made a very faint crack sound.

But for the Dragon Shadow Guards with extraordinary hearing, this was considered a significant noise.

"There are people over there!"

A stranger's voice shouted loudly.

Immediately, a row of cold arrows mixed with hidden weapons rained down like a dense net, carrying a chilling killing intent, leaving no room for escape as they shot towards the group!

This was Gu Jiao's first time experiencing the attacks of the upper state’s people.

It must be said that their tactics and strategies were different from ordinary military forces.

Gu Jiao drew her red-ta.s.seled spear, propped the spearhead against the ground, and leaped above the dense net of arrows, avoiding this wave of attacks.

Meanwhile, Long Yi shook his arms, sending out two bursts of internal energy to push aside the four people beside him. Then, he also leaped into the air, flying directly towards the patrol team that was shooting arrows.

With a twist, he snapped the neck of the leading guard!

Gu Jiao understood and said to the four Dragon Shadow Guards still affected by the poison, "Let's go!"

The four Dragon Shadow Guards didn't want to leave their leader behind.

Gu Jiao threw them over one by one.

Due to their poisoning and weakened state, they were indeed thrown by Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao: It feels so satisfying throwing Dragon Shadow Guards!

The commotion here alerted more guards in the villa, and more Yan Dragon Shadow Guards rushed over. After Gu Jiao threw the last Dragon Shadow Guard of Princess Xinyang, she swiftly jumped onto the wall.

But just as she was about to jump down, a thin rope suddenly came from behind, coiling around her waist and abdomen.

With a swoosh, she was pulled back into the villa and fell heavily to the ground.

Because Gu Jiao tried to protect the medicines on her body, she failed to protect herself properly, falling quite hard.

Gu Jiao grunted.

The owner of the rope still didn't let go. He suddenly increased the force, pulling Gu Jiao back. Gu Jiao picked up her red-ta.s.seled spear from the ground, lifted it, and removed the white cloth wrapped around the spear.

Turning over, she knelt on one knee, gripped the red-ta.s.seled spear tightly, and slashed fiercely!

With a crisp sound, the thin rope was mercilessly cut off by the red-ta.s.seled spear!

The guard holding the rope suddenly lost his grip and fell backward onto the ground.

The youth knelt on the ground, wearing a flashy peac.o.c.k mask, but ‘his’ eyes were as fierce as a G.o.d of death.

The Yan man who saw this scene from nearby was suddenly stunned.

His gaze fell on the wolf-like youth. He was amazed by the youth’s skill and killing intent.

The agility was still not the best, as this kind of talented youth was commonplace in the State of Yan. However, ‘his’ gaze and aura were different from anyone he had ever seen.

And there was ‘his’ red-ta.s.seled spear.

That was——

The red-ta.s.seled spear was decorated with big red flowers by Little Jing Kong, and braids were tied around it. Honestly, at first glance, it was hard to look at.

He wanted to take a second look, but the powerful death warrior took the talented youth away at that moment.

... Or to be exact, whisked the youth away under his armpit.

"General!" A guard saluted, "This subordinate is incompetent, letting outsiders break into the villa!"

The Yan man said, "Send people to chase them. Also, check if anything is missing from the villa."

"Yes!"

The guards split into two groups and acted separately.

The Yan man looked in the direction where the youth had left, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

One of the so-called strategists approached, "General, what are you looking at?"

The Yan man gestured with his eyes towards the direction of the courtyard wall, "Did you see that young man just now? Doesn't he seem somewhat familiar?"

"Familiar?" The strategist replied, "No, he wore a mask, I couldn't see his face clearly."

The Yan man pondered, "Not his face, it's... the aura of killing he possesses."

The youth didn't use many moves, nor were there overly b.l.o.o.d.y scenes, but some people naturally exuded an aura that set them apart when they acted.

The strategist smiled and said, "That young man is just average, not particularly formidable. Such skills are common in the State of Yan."

The Yan man frowned, "I just felt a sense of familiarity... Was it his gaze? Or perhaps... related to his weapon?"

The strategist inquired, "Do you mean that long spear?"

The Yan man muttered, "Not an ordinary long spear, it's a red-ta.s.seled spear, somewhat resembling Xuanyuan Li's divine weapon... Xuanyuan Li."

The strategist chuckled, "Indeed, Xuanyuan Li's red-ta.s.seled spear did end up in the State of Zhao. If the general saw it, it wouldn't be surprising. General, are you suggesting that you saw a descendant of Xuanyuan Li just now?"
