They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 285 You Call Arsenic a Secret Medicine

I didn't care how much force I used, and I pinched her until her skin turned red.

However, in this moment of urgency, Wu Ziyan seemed to be oblivious to the pain in her wrist.

He could only watch as swords flashed and shadows danced outside.

But how could these petty thieves compare to Chu Yu and Chu Qiu, who have received professional training?

Before long, all the henchmen were defeated. Those who were accidentally silenced had no choice but to accept their fate.

All the remaining injured and disabled people were tied up with ropes.

Meanwhile, several nuns who were fighting Yan also died.

However, in the chaos, no one paid any attention to her, and she managed to escape from Hanlu Temple during the struggle.

Chu Qiu and Chu Yu joined forces and subdued the fake nun in less than two rounds.

When she was subdued, the fake nun knelt on the ground, gritting her teeth and cursing loudly.

He didn't have the otherworldly, ethereal air he had when he first appeared.

"You're not government officials, what right do you have to tell us what to do?"

"Hey! You're robbing us and you think you're in the right? Just tell us what you put in that food."

"I knew it! Why did we have to eat before we even exchanged a few pleasantries? Were they trying to send us all away?"

"The food is all drugged; it won't harm anyone at all."

“We’ve been together here for so long, and we’ve never killed anyone. At most, we’ve just drugged the worshippers and taken some money from their offerings.”

"Or maybe they'll drug passersby who're doing business and take some money from them!"

"But our people just tested it with silver needles, and it contained arsenic, a deadly poison."

"This is just a regular sleeping potion; even King Kong couldn't withstand something this potent!"

"We would never poison anyone with arsenic!"

"Arsenic is a contraband, and it's not easy to buy!" another nun argued.

But in fact, they didn't put the medicine in my mouth. That's when the nun remembered it again.

"You were just attacking us from behind! How did you know who we were?!"

"Nonsense, weren't those your people trying to kill us?"

"Will my men shoot arrows at me?"

An unknown third party has appeared. Wu Ziyan analyzed that it should be one of the assassins sent to kill her.

It's just that this unlucky nun might have happened to be standing in front of him and took an arrow for him.

At this moment, the nun's expression turned a little strange.

His lips had turned purple and his forehead had turned black, which were obvious symptoms of poisoning. It seemed that the hidden arrow had also been poisoned!

Quickly have someone bring her the antidote and feed it to her; we can't let her die for no reason.

She should still bear the responsibility for her crimes, but she shouldn't die for things she shouldn't have to!

Chu Yu didn't even bother to place his sword against her neck anymore.

He's just a small fry who looks impressive but has no real ability.

After taking the antidote pill, his lips were still bluish-purple.

But at least the toxins didn't spread, saving her dog's life.

Those people were tied up and thrown into a corner of the main hall.

They treated the battle as a chance to stretch their muscles during their journey, but they were even hungrier afterward.

But we can't eat the food here. Does that mean we can only eat the dry bread and rations we brought with us?

"You didn't poison the water here, did you?"

"We need to drink water too, would we poison ourselves?"

That makes perfect sense. A group of people set up a huge pot, but they didn't dare use anything from their kitchen.

I boiled a big pot of water and steamed the dried steamed buns.

They also put the dried meat they brought out into the soup and cooked it into a meat soup. Dipping the steamed buns in it made for a unique flavor.

Since they were all fake nuns anyway, they didn't care whether they had insulted the statues in the temple.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, half of the people remained to keep an eye on the fake nuns while remaining vigilant against the third-party assassin.

Yan fled to the outside of Hanlu Temple, thinking that he would sneak in later when they were less vigilant.

After drugging everyone in the room with sleeping powder, they will become fish on a chopping board.

But when she touched the sleeping powder she carried, it seemed insufficient to drug so many people.

Moreover, during the fight just now, she was also slashed several times by those fake nuns.

If he were to go toe-to-toe with those two experts from earlier, he probably wouldn't be a match for them.

We need to find out which room Wu Ziyan is staying in.

If the assassination attempt at Hanlu Temple fails, then we'll have to wait for another opportunity in the next place.

After finishing their meal, apart from the innocent pilgrims, the group each chose their own private rooms.

It's actually quite clean, but we still can't let our guard down.

Chu Qiu and three other men slept in one room, but Qi Zexuan insisted on sharing a room with Chu Yu.

Wu Ziyan is just sitting there, waiting to be left to languish. What should she do? She can't possibly go and sleep in the same room as Qi Zeyun.

Qi Zeyun looked at her coldly, and his expression didn't seem like he wanted to share a room with her.

But she didn't want to live alone; what if that assassin came back to kill her again?

"Chu Qiu, you, come out!" Wu Ziyan shouted at him in a commanding tone.

She swallowed hard, crossed her arms, and looked a little embarrassed, which is why she had to pretend to be confident.

It's more natural for her to call him Chu Qiu.

After all, he used to serve as an official in his residence. He walked out of his room and there was an empty room next door.

He said, "Miss Ziyan, we are all next door to you, you don't need to be afraid."

Could you please not embarrass her in public? Was her fear written all over her face?

Now she was even less likely to back down: "I don't care, come here."

In the darkness, ignoring the imperfections on his face, only his usual handsome features were visible.

Having no other choice, Chu Qiu went into Wu Ziyan's room.

When he went in, he even made eye contact with Chu Yu.

Chu Yu raised an eyebrow at him with a look that said, "Isn't my sister smart!"

Yue'er nudged Fang Yuerong with her elbow, winking at her.

He was thinking, "Why sit here and do nothing when this is such a good opportunity?" He was getting impatient!

Changsun Boyu lay down on the bed, his hands behind his head, looking quite content and completely unconcerned.

Fang Yuerong seemed to be just as indifferent as he was.

While combing Fang Yuerong's hair, Yue'er muttered to herself, but it was impossible to hear what she was saying.

Then he actually pressed his face against the wall to listen for any sounds from next door.

"Neither of you cares at all? Don't you want to know what happened next door? You two seem pretty calm."

"Moon, you're still young, you don't understand."

"Young master, listen!"

When he said those words, both of them were indeed somewhat moved.

Yue'er smiled slyly, pretending not to care, but in fact she did care quite a bit.

Wu Ziyan entered the room, took off his coat, and still had the bandage on his neck.

Her shoulder injury hasn't healed yet; she's really in a terrible state!

Chu Qiu stood there awkwardly, holding his sword.

This is a man and a woman alone in a room in front of everyone. How can they face people if word gets out?

Although he wasn't against it, the key issue was that the room wasn't soundproof, and there were three other people living next door.

"Chu Qiu, what are you standing there for? Come sit down and take off your coat. You've been cooped up all day."

Chu Qiu walked over, placed the sword on the table, and sat there without making any attempt to undress.

"What? You're planning to sit here all night?"

"Your Highness, go to sleep. I will protect you."
