Observing the movements of the two, Bai Aoxue threw the mouse first as a bait, having worked out who would swing the sword.
So, the minute the mouse was thrown out, she had already acted!
As one of the men touched the powder of poison, Bai Aoxue had already cut through the throat of the other man!
All this was happening so fast that before the man began to react, he had already been doomed to death.
When the poisoned man found that his companion was killed, he wanted to shout aloud to warn Zhaoye inside. With a wave of Bai Aoxue’s left hand, a coldly glittering dagger had straightway pierced the head of the man.
Laying down the man whose throat was cut through against the wall, Bai Aoxue walked to the other man who had been standing with his eyes opened until he died, as if it was difficult for him to believe.
As Bai Aoxue reached out and pushed him gently, the man fell down slowly. Bai Aoxue stretched out a foot to catch him, so the man didn’t make a sound when he landed.
Slightly bending down, she pulled out her dagger. The blood on it glowed in the moonlight, flashing a strange light.
Looking up through the broken roof, Bai Aoxue looked at the moonlight tonight, feeling that the moonlight tonight was a bit scarlet.
The scarlet moon was so ominous that it was suitable for killing on such a dark night!
The wooden door leaked a little light because Zhaoye did not close the door completely when he entered.
Looking at the moonlight leaked out, Bai Aoxue paused, thinking that all this might be Zhaoye’s trap.
Perhaps when she opened the door and entered, she would be in danger. But she couldn’t choose to withdraw!
As long as she thought that the person inside was her uncle, she couldn’t withdraw or flinch.
She had never backed off in her life. She would not back off now and even in the future!
Taking a deep breath, Bai Aoxue stretched out a finger and slowly pushed the door to open a little so that she could see the situation inside.
To be sure, if it was a trap, then Zhaoye would not be alone in it; if it was not a trap, there might be others besides Zhaoye.
Wobbly lights shadowed on the wall inside, reflecting a slender figure.
Bai Aoxue held her breath and waited.
“Today I came to tell you that your long-awaited niece has been dead. You don’t have to struggle to survive and wait for her. Today Jun Yeyan has returned alone, and the body of your niece can’t be found out. So, you’d better know your situation and hand over the catilla to suffer less!” Zhaoye’s brief words spread with a tinge of schadenfreude.
Hearing Zhaoye ‘s words, although it was not too clear, she could guess who was inside!
But Bai Aoxue didn’t rush in. She continued to hide behind the door, listening to what was happening inside.
“Catilla? It had been given to others… Go tell Jun Wuhen, even if I die, I will never give the catilla to him!” The intermittent voice spread with a little pain that was hard to perceive. But it hit Bai Aoxue like a thunder.
It was like a sharp thorn in the heart which was painless when hidden. But if you touched it, you would feel overwhelmingly painful.
At this moment, Bai Aoxue had exactly the same feeling!
Her uncle hurt… seriously.
In chaos, Bai Aoxue only had this idea in her mind.
No more thinking, Bai Aoxue quickly pushed the door open.
In addition to a mess, Bai Aoxue also saw half-squatting Zhaoye and Ye Zhaojue was lying on the ground obliquely.
His clothes were shabby and there were scars on all parts of the body. After a glimpse, Bai Aoxue dared not look at it again because it looked really miserable.
And it made her feel distressed.
Even in the bleak situation, Ye Zhaojue was still proud and unyielding!
Although scarred, he remained indomitable.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhaoye and Ye Zhaojue looked up invariably.
The face was strange, but he was still familiar with it. Looking at her, Ye Zhaojue was blurred in his sights.
It couldn’t be wrong… The person in front of him was exactly the child who always hid behind the door to watch him and call him “uncle” with a childish voice.
Even though her face was different now, he could not mistakenly recognize her.
She would not change. Her expression of eyes and personality were still like before.
When she saw her relatives, she would express her grievance and sorrow.
Looking at Ye Zhaojue, Bai Aoxue’s eyes were clouded with tears, but she managed to hold them back, tightly holding the dagger in the sleeve.
Her beautiful eyes clearly expressed the intention of killing, glaring at Zhaoye with burning flames.
For the appearance of Bai Aoxue, Zhaoye was not surprised but smiled slightly.
“Huh… I did not expect you would be so irrational. I thought you would not save him until your reinforcements arrived. But you are so hurried that you rush in alone. Are you brave or stupid?” Looking at Bai Aoxue, Zhaoye said ironically.
With some disdain and arrogant contempt in his eyes.
Although people had forged Bai Aoxue to be marvelous, Bai Aoxue was always Helen of Troy in his eyes. If it had not been her, Master wouldn’t have lost his mind and completely forgotten their ambitions. All this was due to the woman in front of him!
Thinking so, Zhaoye felt extremely unwilling!
Now that Jun Yeyan had forgotten his promise to them, he would help him recollect it. As long as the woman in front of him died, Jun Yeyan would return to what he was before.
After Bai Aoxue followed Luoyan into the Imperial Palace, he hadn’t recognized her. But the smell of cold sandalwood on her body was the same although her face was changed.
As soon as he smelled it, he knew that the maidservant beside Luoyan was linked to Jun Yeyan.
Originally, he just tried it, but he didn’t expect that the person before him was exactly Bai Aoxue!
It is true that “God helps those who help themselves”. He finally found Bai Aoxue!
Hearing Zhaoye’s words, Bai Aoxue slightly curled her lips and said, “Since you are so eager to lead me out, how can I not satisfy you?”
Zhaoye was a bit complacent before. But hearing Bai Aoxue’s words, he was slightly stunned and said, “Have you knew it is a trap from the beginning?”
Bai Aoxue slightly shook her head and said, “Not at the very beginning until I entered the secret tunnel.”
Hearing that, Zhaoye didn’t intend to ask her more. He just slightly nodded and said, “It seems that I have belittled you. But even if you know it is a trap, how can you take Ye Zhaojue away from me?”
Zhaoye’s confident appearance made Bai Aoxue frown slightly.
“How do you know that I can’t take my uncle away?” Bai Aoxue raised her eyebrows slightly. A chilling light flashed in her eyes!
Before Zhaoye answered, she had swiftly attacked him!
Seeing that, Zhaoye slightly withdrew and said, “Oh yes. Jun Yeyan is about to die, isn’t it? Without the antidote, how long can he survive!? Ha-ha-ha…”
Hearing Zhaoye’s words, Bai Aoxue sneered and said, “Then you will be disappointed because I have detoxicated Jun Yeyan. But you… You are the person who will not live longer!”
“Clang!” The dagger slammed into Zhaoye’s cattail leaf fan, making a loud noise.
Bai Aoxue realized that Zhaoye’s fan was made of iron.
Watching the dagger in Bai Aoxue’s hands, Zhaoye’s face was sort of hideous and he said, “He even gave the dagger to you! I didn’t… I didn’t expect it! Since you are so important to him, you are supposed to die!”
After that, he began to fight against Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue lifted her foot quickly and stroked Zhaoye fiercely. With one foot on his abdomen, Zhaoye took a few steps back but did not bend over.
With a trace of blood overflew from his mouth, Zhaoye grinned hideously to Bai Aoxue and said, “Well, it seems that you are not too bad.”
Bai Aoxue didn’t speak but clenched tightly the daggers in her hands, approaching Zhaoye step by step.
The iron feathers on Zhaoye’s fan were shot at Bai Aoxue quickly and were escaped by Bai Aoxue narrowly. But they tore her clothes and hurt her arms.
Bai Aoxue didn’t even frown. Without the hidden weapons, Zhaoye wasn’t so leisurely. Bai Aoxue followed him closely.
He attacked Bai Aoxue with his left fist and while she was dodging, he held the fan in the right hand and attacked again.
Bai Aoxue squinted her eyes slightly and shot the daggers in both hands!
One dagger and the fan flew out at the same.
The other dagger pierced Zhaoye’s shoulder, penetrating the scapula!
Zhaoye still grinned. But there were lots of tricks and traps behind his smile.
Bai Aoxue realized that when she wanted to step back, Zhaoye grabbed her with his right hand, a dagger hidden in his right hand!
Bai Aoxue grasped Zhaoye’s right hand, trying to stop him. At the same time, she hid the dagger in the left hand and went behind Zhaoye.
Even though Zhaoye was injured, his strength was still a little stronger than Bai Aoxue. He lifted his legs to condense the force and hit his knee bones against Bai Aoxue’s abdomen. Bai Aoxue did not dodge but suffered.
In the sleeve of the left hand, the dagger that had not left her body for a long time slipped out. In the scarlet moonlight, it momentarily flashed the strange and evil light.
“Thud!” The dagger pierced his body, making a dull noise.
However, Zhaoye still clung to Bai Aoxue as if he decided to die with Bai Aoxue together.
“Aoxue! Hurry up and let him go! There will be a change of guards in a while. He is waiting for it! He is buying time! Hurry up!” Ye Zhaojue was aware of Zhaoye’s purpose and anxiously shouting.
That voice was the loudest sound he could make at the moment because after speaking, he fell to the ground and gasped heavily.
Bai Aoxue seeing that, an expression of panic flashed in her eyes. She knew that Ye Zhaojue was not well and she could not delay for a minute!
No more hesitation, the dagger was pulled out and then put in! It was stabbed into Zhaoye’s chest again and again.
But Zhaoye would not let her go even in front of death. Bai Aoxue curled up on one knee and pressed strongly against Zhaoye’s abdomen. Zhaoye began vomiting blood severely and his body was slightly bent.
Bai Aoxue took the opportunity to quickly pull out the dagger from Zhaoye’s scapula. With a strong shake, Bai Aoxue dragged his arm and fell!
Once Bai Aoxue was free, she quickly ran to Ye Zhaojue.
“Uncle!” Seeing that Ye Zhaojue coughed up scarlet blood, Bai Aoxue instantly widened her eyes, exclaiming fearfully.
