Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Lucky Star Farmland Keeps Calm, Heirless Husband Busy Chasing Wife 45

The assassin in black appeared so suddenly, but Su Zhiruan did not hesitate in her actions, she reached out and grabbed a teapot from the table in the carriage and hurled it with all her might in the direction of the assassin.

She exerted considerable force, and the assassin did not expect her to fight back, thus he was solidly struck.

The commotion here was great, and since Fu Huaichu had been watching the carriage closely, he swung his blade and swiftly dealt with the assassin at his side, then strode toward the carriage.

“You’ve got quite the arm strength, little lady,” the assassin in black was bleeding from a head wound, but he wasn’t knocked unconscious; after staggering to his feet, his gaze toward Su Zhiruan turned sinister. Licking the blood from the corner of his mouth, he drew his flexible sword. Without hesitation, the weapon pierced through the window, and his face twisted malignantly, “Join Fu Huaichu in death!”

The assassin moved too fast. When Fu Huaichu saw his actions, his eyes were filled with rage. He rushed forward and drove his sword through the assassin’s shoulder blade.

The assassin in black immediately lost strength in his arm and fell to the ground, his blood staining the snow red.

“Your Highness, behind you!” When Su Zhiruan saw two more assassins appear behind Fu Huaichu, she immediately cried out a warning, and looking at the somewhat scared eyes of the children Zhezhi and Zheye, she held the children and jumped out from the other side of the carriage.

Now, staying in the carriage was certainly not an option. They didn’t know how many assassins there were, but staying in the carriage made them an obvious target, and it would definitely be attacked first.

Su Zhiruan had learned some simple self-defense in modern times, but when faced with professionally trained assassins, her abilities were clearly insufficient.

The number of guards they brought on this trip was not large, and judging from the current situation, the assassins were relentless and skilled, all cloaked in black masks and striking with lethal moves.

The assassins’ primary target was Fu Huaichu; perhaps seeing her as a defenseless woman, unarmed and accompanied by two three-year-old children, they thought disposing of her would be as easy as turning their hand, thus only one assassin stepped forward to slit the throats of all three.

At that moment, Su Zhiruan was thankful she had taken Zheye’s short sword. Pretending to flee while holding the children, she suddenly turned around and delivered a fatal blow to the assassin.

“Zhezhi, Zheye, hide here, and no matter what, do not come out, understand?”

She walked a little further, where there were more trees by the road. Su Zhiruan found a concealed spot and stuffed the two children into a tree hollow. The entrance was small, barely big enough for the children to get in, making it difficult even for adults to notice.

After the children were hidden, Su Zhiruan still felt uneasy, so she called upon the system in her mind.

“Is the system there? Come out and lend a hand.” Su Zhiruan saw another assassin approaching, and she repeated her ploy, pretending to fall to the ground with an expression of terror. When the assassin let his guard down, her short sword hidden in her sleeve ended his life.

“[Host, what has happened?]”

The system appeared and took in the scene.

It had followed Su Zhiruan to this world, and after transmitting the storyline to her, it went into hibernation. This was the first time it was woken up by her in this world.

“It’s urgent. Help me perform a Blinding Technique to protect these two children.” Su Zhiruan pointed to the tree hollow behind her, “These are the children of a Plane’s Child, you should be able to keep them hidden from the assassins, right?”

“[As long as it doesn’t disrupt the storyline, the system can provide assistance]”

With that, the system set up a Blinding Technique at the entrance of the tree hollow. From the outside, it appeared as if there was no hollow at all, only the thick trunk of the tree.

“Mother… where are you going?” Zhezhi clung to Su Zhiruan’s skirt, her other hand tightly clasped with her brother’s, her large eyes brimming with fear, “Mother, there are only bad people outside.”

“Don’t be scared, Zhezhi. You mustn’t move around, just stay where you are until people from the Imperial Palace come, then you can follow them. Otherwise, no matter who comes, do not go out,” Su Zhiruan instructed, while turning to look at Zheye, she stroked his head, “Zheye is sensible, remember what mother told you.”

Zheye was also very reluctant for Su Zhiruan to leave, but he knew that the martial arts he had learned were no match for a real assassin—about as effective as a three-legged cat. If he and his sister stayed by their mother’s side, they would only become a burden. It would be better to listen to their mother, stay here, and wait until it was safe to come out.

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Zhiruan saw another assassin. The assassin aimed his crossbow at her and released an arrow straight at her.

She dodged to the side, and the assassin was killed with a single stroke by one of Fu Huaichu’s guards.

When she looked back, the situation had much improved. Naturally, the guards Fu Huaichu had brought were not ordinary men; more than a dozen of them had dealt with most of the assassins.

When Fu Huaichu saw her, he quickly walked over, then embraced Su Zhiruan tightly and asked anxiously, “Ruanruan, are you alright? Are you hurt? What about Zhezhi and Zheye?”

Su Zhiruan shook her head, “I’m fine. I’ve hidden the two children for now, and we’ll let them out when it’s safe.”

Only then did Fu Huaichu breathe a sigh of relief. His brow was tightly furrowed, and he continued to hold Su Zhiruan close. Resting his forehead against Su Zhiruan’s, he said, “I’m sorry, I thought it would be just the four of us going out to enjoy the flowers, but I never expected to put you all in danger.”

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke. He was frightened in retrospect.

If something had gone wrong, whether it was Su Zhiruan or the children, it would have killed him.

“Are all the assassins dealt with?” Su Zhiruan asked, looking at the many corpses on the ground. The blood had nearly dyed the snow red. The horses that had been pulling the carriage had been killed by the assassins and now lay in the snow. Originally, there had been more than a dozen guards, but now only three remained, and they all had wounds of varying severity.

Fu Huaichu shook his head, “Not sure, but now we only have one horse. We should have a guard return to the capital to send a message and get the Imperial Guard to search for us.”

One of the guards stepped forward, “Your Highness, your servant wishes to return to the capital and bring reinforcements.”

“Go,” nodded Fu Huaichu.

This man was one of his trusted aides, highly capable, and trustworthy.

Now, in the snowy field, only Su Zhiruan, Fu Huaichu, and two guards remained.

“Your Highness, Miss Su, please get in the carriage quickly. The snow is getting heavier outside,” said one guard who was checking the ground for any feigning death assassins, while the other spoke to Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan, looking around. Not seeing the two children, the guard meant to ask but realized he didn’t know how to refer to them, so he could only ask, “Your Highness, Miss Su, why don’t I see the young master and young mistress?”

“I’ve hidden them well.”

Su Zhiruan glanced in the direction of a tree hollow from afar. As a mother, she was almost entirely focused on her two children at this moment.

The tree hollow would be cold, but she dared not take the risk.

If another wave of assassins appeared now, her children, Zhezhi and Zheye, were still young; she wouldn’t take the gamble.

Until reinforcements from the Imperial Palace arrived, she wouldn’t let her children face danger.

The snow kept falling heavier, as if trying to cover all the bloodshed below.

Fu Huaichu and Su Zhiruan got into the carriage, and she wiped her short sword clean.

Unbeknownst to them, as a guard was checking the corpses for assassins, he suddenly felt a chill at his neck, and before dying, his eyes widened as he saw it was an assassin who had feigned death on the ground.
