Chapter 179 Assassination
Deputy General Chen was furious, and mercilessly kicked the man in black on the knee, and the man in black fell to his knees in an instant due to inertia.

"Bold as hell! How dare you disrespect our mother when you are about to die! I don't even know what you are!"

The back of the man in black was pressed by Deputy General Chen, and he knelt down on the ground, but his neck was still stubbornly stalked, and his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ning, which made people shudder?

"Your Majesty? What, I dare to assassinate, how can I take this girl seriously?"

Jiang Ning was silent and did not answer. She has seen too many white eyes and insults over the years, and she has long been used to treating this kind of people with cold eyes. She knows that if she refutes angry words, these people will continue to push her nose on the contrary. face reason.

Maybe it was because his humiliation didn't achieve the desired effect, the man in black became furious, and immediately cursed, "Bitch, isn't he just a bastard who can only live on the knees of men's favor, thinking that he is born with a superior fate?" ? Hahahaha, what a joke in the world."

"Shut up!" Deputy Chen's face became more angry, he kicked the man in black on the shoulder, and the man in black fell to the ground.

Because his body was bound by the rope, he had some difficulty in acting. He struggled on the ground twice, but finally failed to get up.

"That's all." Jiang Ning shook his head, apparently not intending to continue.

However, the anger of the man in black intensified amidst her peace of mind. He struggled and threw himself at Jiang Ning, cursing loudly.

"Bitch, who do you look down on? You are the same as that dog emperor, and you will die."

Deputy General Chen kicked the man in black again, and the man in black staggered and fell down, vomiting a mouthful of blood.There was even more resentment on his face.

"Bring it back." The voice suddenly sounded behind him calmly, but with a hint of anger.

Jiang Ning turned around in astonishment, only to see Mu Jingzhao standing behind him at some point.

"Your Majesty." Deputy General Chen showed embarrassment, and pressed the man in black forward as he said.

Mu Jingzhao's expression was indifferent, he walked slowly, and approached the man in black step by step. As he continued to approach, the resentment on the man in black's face gradually turned into panic.

"The dog emperor—!"

The other party's insulting voice just opened his mouth, and the next second, it completely disappeared.

Mu Jingzhao's movements were so fast that Jiang Ning didn't even notice what happened.

The man in black fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and he tried his best to cover his neck with his fingers, and blood kept spilling from the gap between his fingers.

Mu Jingzhao turned around and walked slowly in front of Jiang Ning. There was a bit of undisguised love on his face. He slowly raised his hand, as if he wanted to caress Jiang Ning's cheek, but lowered it when the blood on his fingertips was exposed.

"It made you feel wronged."

Jiang Ning seemed to have never heard of it, but looked at the silent man in black behind him in a daze.

"Go and rest first, don't worry about these things." His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

At this moment, a shout came from inside the carriage. Mu Jingzhao took a deep look at Jiang Ning, turned around and got into the carriage.

Before leaving, he gently patted her shoulder, very gentle.

Jiang Ning didn't move at all, but stared blankly at the dead man in black in front of him. His body was lying on the ground in a somewhat distorted posture, his eyes were wide open, as if he was frightened, and his palms were still trying to cover his injured body. Blood gushed out from between his necks, staining a large area of ​​the ground red, sinking into the crevices of pebbles in the shoal by the stream, as if it had taken root in this land.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am, I surprised you." Deputy General Chen smiled at her apologetically, and he and another Imperial Guard held the man in black's arms and dragged him away.

Blood continued to overflow from under the man in black, staining the ground red with a ferocious bloodstain.

Jiang Ning just stood there in a daze, looking at the bloodstain, watching the bright red color gradually darken, blending with the texture of the pebbles.

She clearly knew that this man in black was always going to die, he had committed a serious crime, and such a crime could not be overstated even if it hurt even the Nine Clans.

However, when she witnessed all of this happening, she felt a shock and fear that she had never felt before.

She has also seen countless life and death. She witnessed her sister being engulfed in a fire, and she also witnessed the old beggar who adopted her dying in front of her.

But she has never really felt so clearly that in the face of absolute power, the lives of ordinary people are so cheap and fragile.

It's as easy as crushing an ant.

She has never felt so clearly like this moment that the person she gets along with day and night is the emperor, who has supreme power. If he wants to kill her, he only needs to tick his little finger.

She has been with Mu Jingzhao for so long, and she used to argue endlessly because of the other party's pride as an emperor.

But in her heart, he was always just a kind-hearted young master who was forced to occupy a position, naive, arrogant, but absolutely kind.

To this day, he quietly tore open a hole, revealing his cruel and vicious side, and she actually shuddered a little.

Just as Jiang Ning was stupefied, Mu Jingzhao shouted furiously from the carriage behind him, "If you don't have one, go find me! If the queen dies because of this, none of you will live!"

Jiang Ning was startled, and opened the curtain again to get into the carriage. Mu Jingzhao raised his eyes, and there was still a ferocity in his eyes that had not had time to restrain himself.

Jiang Ning's heart trembled, and the overwhelming fear almost swallowed her. She collected herself and turned to look at the trembling imperial doctor beside her, "What's the matter?"

The imperial doctor glanced at Mu Jingzhao carefully, and then slowly said, "The empress is seriously injured, and the medicine I carry with me is only enough for two hours. If I can't get the herbs in time, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..." He fell to the ground trembling, not daring to look at Jiang Ning again.

"How far is it from the nearest town?"

"About five hours' journey."

"What's that herb called?"

"Great thistles and hickory nuts."

Jiang Ning thought for a while, then nodded, "My Palace knows both these herbs. The two imperial physicians drew the patterns and distributed them to the Imperial Army and Bengong. How about going out to find them?"

"That's right, it's a feasible strategy, but it's just the empress's daughter's body. How can I do this kind of rough work?"

"It's okay." Jiang Ning's voice was still calm, but he never dared to meet Mu Jingzhao's eyes. "Anyway, I'm afraid when I'm idle, and I can't find anything to do."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at Mu Jingzhao.The two people's eyes met, and they both saw a little strangeness in each other's eyes.but
In fact, needless to say, Jiang Ning also understood that the reason why the guards were not allowed to go out to find medicinal herbs was because they were worried that the assassins would make a comeback and attack Mu Jingzhao while the defense was empty.

However, how stupid an assassin is to dare to assassinate alone under the eyes of so many imperial guards.

What's more, the target of his assassination is the current Holy One who is very skilled in martial arts.
