Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

And so.

Both Baiqi and Baiyu returned to their fiefdoms.

However, what Bai Qi couldn't let go of was that his Crown Princess was still in the capital.

Bai Qi naturally wanted to rescue his Crown Princess.

But it will definitely not be that easy.

However, if he didn't rescue the Crown Princess, he would lose face.

Therefore, Bai Qi decided to send a small team to rescue his Crown Princess.

If they can be rescued, then they've been rescued.

But if it just won't come out, there's nothing we can do.

Regardless, I have done my best.

At least I no longer have anything to say about myself.

So when Bai Yu withdrew his troops and returned to his fiefdom, Crown Prince Bai Qi was also waiting for news of his Crown Princess.

However, Bai Qi felt that his Crown Princess was definitely not going to make it.

Therefore, Bai Qi was already prepared to announce the death of his Crown Princess, and he had even written an article about her death.

Meanwhile, in the Crown Prince's residence, Crown Princess Jun Lian was enjoying the night view in her courtyard.

Jun Lian knew that it was unlikely she would be able to leave.

Even from within the palace, a maidservant came with gifts, and Bai Zhan expressed her love for her.

However, Jun Lian also knew that the other party only coveted her body and wanted to make her a toy in his harem, nothing more.

If I have another function, it is to irritate white ravenous worms.

Junlian considered whether or not she should commit suicide.

But in the end, Junlian wanted to see if her husband would come to save her, and how he would save her.

After that, I'll make my own plans.

In Junlian's view, the worst that could happen was death.

Chapter 807 Can I Make a Deal with Mr. Su? (4000 words)

"Da da da..."

In the dead of night, just as Jun Lian was sitting in the courtyard, strange noises came from outside.

Jun Lian stood up.

At the same time, four figures landed in front of Jun Lian.

The four cultivators knelt on one knee before Jun Lian, appearing very respectful: "Your subordinates greet the Crown Princess."

Who are you?

The Crown Princess looked at the four of them.

"Your Highness, we are His Highness's subordinates, and we have come to escort you away from here."

"That's what the leading monk replied."

"What level are you at?" Jun Lian asked again.

"My four subordinates are all Golden Core cultivators."

"Is it just the four of you?" Jun Lian asked again.

"Yes." The leading cultivator nodded again, "Please come with us, Your Highness. We will definitely protect you as you leave the capital."

"..."

Jun Lian was speechless for a moment.

In Junlian's view, these people who came to pick her up were just there to throw their lives away.

To think that these four Golden Core cultivators could rescue me from here is simply wishful thinking.

Jun Lian now fully understood her husband's meaning.

Her husband, being the crown prince, couldn't afford not to save her, otherwise he would become a laughingstock, which would be detrimental to his reputation and support.

But Bai Qi also knew that if he wanted to rescue me, he would have to pay a heavy price.

Given Baiqi's character, he would absolutely not bear such a severe price.

Bai Qi's thought was that all his power was to prepare for seizing the throne, and he would not waste a single bit of it.

So he only sent these four cultivators to rescue him as a formality.

Or perhaps he never even considered rescuing himself.

If he went out with them and was discovered, unable to escape, these four cultivators would probably kill him immediately.

If Jun Lian wasn't mistaken, these four cultivators should be four of the hundred assassins of Baiqi.

They trained them specifically for the Baiqi.

They knew they were not going to make it out alive, so they never even considered surviving.

They are willing to give up everything for the mission.

Looking at the four people kneeling in front of him, Jun Lian was momentarily dazed.

In Jun Lian's opinion, Bai Qi truly didn't deserve to have these hundred loyal and devoted assassins...

"I understand, let's go."

Jun Lian nodded.

Junlian's heart was already dead to her husband; nothing mattered anymore.

Rather than staying here, being used as a plaything by the Fourth Prince Bai Zhan, and being given away to someone else after he's had his fill, he'd rather die.

This is the last thing I can do for him as his wife.

I have done everything I was supposed to do, and I owe him nothing.

"Yes! Please come with us, Your Highness the Crown Princess."

The four guards were surprised that the Crown Princess would agree so readily.

That makes sense.

The Crown Princess was just a woman; how could she possibly discern the Crown Prince's intentions?

Four assassins escorted the Crown Princess through the darkness.

The journey went very smoothly, and they even thought at one point that they wouldn't die that night and that they could successfully complete their mission and then deliver the Crown Princess to His Highness the Crown Prince.

But they soon realized they were wrong.

Just as the four were about to leave the capital, the fire suddenly blazed up.

From the streets and alleys, Bai Zhan's personal guards rushed out. In front of the tightly closed city gate was one of Bai Zhan's capable lieutenants—Hu Chi.

Hu Chi stood in the middle of the road, wielding two giant axes, his figure as tall as a giant elephant.

Hu Chi looked at the five people as if they were corpses.

"It's getting late. I wonder where Your Highness, the Crown Princess, intends to go? And who are these four cultivators? Would Your Highness be so kind as to introduce them to us? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to His Majesty."

Although Bai Zhan has not yet declared himself king, his subordinates already address him as His Majesty.

In other words, Su Li was unaware of this matter; otherwise, Su Li would definitely think that opening champagne halfway through the event was extremely suicidal.

Throughout history, those who vied for control of the Central Plains and became kings along the way have generally met with bad ends.

The four assassins nervously sized up the soldiers around them and Hu Chi, who was blocking their way.

With Hu Chi's cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Jade Purity Realm, there is absolutely no way they can break through.

Since breaking through is impossible, then...

Without the slightest hesitation, the four assassins sent by Baiqi drew their weapons.

However, they didn't attack the white-clad soldiers around them, but rather the Crown Princess Jun Lian behind them.

Under the moonlight, the blades of the four weapons emitted a faint, cold light.

Jun Lian knew that in the next moment, these four long swords would pronounce his death sentence.

However, Jun Lian's expression remained calm, as if none of this had happened to her.

Jun Lian had anticipated both his own death and the sudden attack.

After years of marriage, it has become nothing more than a joke.

In fact, Jun Lian already knew.

Bai Qi married her for two reasons: first, because of her beauty, and second, to gain the support of her family's influence.

Later, her family fell into decline, and she, the Crown Princess, became useless except for her decent appearance.

Jun Lian slowly closed her eyes.

However, for a long time, Junlian did not feel the expected pain.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths...

Immediately afterwards, everything around seemed to react, and the sounds of swords being drawn echoed through the streets and alleys.

Jun Lian opened her eyes and saw a man standing in front of her.

The man was very tall, a full 1.85 meters.

He was tall and slender, dressed in a blue robe, looking just like a Confucian scholar.

But his back view looked so reassuring.

The man was holding a long knife.

The long sword was blood-red in color, and its entire body was translucent, as if it had been irrigated with fresh blood.

The long sword exuded an evil aura.

The long sword is beautiful, a bewitching kind of beauty.

But this long sword seemed to obey the man's every whim.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it the faint fragrance emanating from the man.

The man's scent was pleasant to Jun Lian.

It was like the smell of mud mixed with grass after the rain, and a hint of blood.

Jun Lian recognized this man; she had seen him at Ye Ye's wedding, where he was the groom.

This man is Su Li.

He had even hugged Su Li, who was once Su Feng.

A drop of bright red blood slowly slid from the long knife in the man's hand and dripped onto the ground.

The four assassins who were meant to kill Jun Lian stared blankly at Su Li, their eyes unfocused, before their heads rolled off and fell to the ground.

They died very quickly.

He died without ever realizing what had happened.

"In a blue robe and wielding a demonic sword, are you perhaps Mr. Su Li?"

Hu Chi gripped his two axes tightly, extremely vigilant.

"Just call me Su Li." Su Li planted the long sword in the ground and rested his hands on the hilt of the sword.

To be honest, Su Li was really not used to being addressed as "sir" all the time.

"Does Mr. Su know Her Highness the Crown Princess?" Hu Chi asked, appearing extremely respectful.
