Helian Manqiu lowered her head in thought. The person who had received the most benefits after her death could very well be the person who had sent someone to assassinate her.

"Uncle Yi, go back and interrogate that person. Nothing will happen here."

"Yes, Young General."

He didn't say anything more. At this moment, he had an incomparable trust in Helian Manqiu. It was as if everything, this tender shoulder, could be taken care of.

He then turned around and left, mounted his horse and rode towards the garrison.

"Uncle Luan, who do you think will benefit the most if I die?"

"It's hard to say. The current Emperor, the princes, and princes all have the possibility of doing such a thing. The military state was supposed to belong to the imperial government. Previously, the emperor had ordered for the extermination of the nine families of the military state's general academy because he wanted to clean up this place and put this place in the hands of the imperial government. "

"En, if I die, then so many people will be able to reap the benefits. The heavy responsibility of giving me the protection of the Profound Sky Continent is a heavy one, ah."

"The Lord has a lot of schemes and decisions, his army is extremely strict, but he is not a person without a sense of camaraderie. If it wasn't for the fact that you, Qing Yu, purposefully angered my Lord so many times and did all those things, my Lord would not have set his heart on killing you. "

"I know. Gan Zhixuan will not kill me now. Don't worry, Uncle Luan."

"Of course, Master can't protect you enough right now, so I won't kill you."

He could design those weapons, could design those traps and traps. If he was the Lord, he would definitely not kill Helian Manqiu. He would rather let Helian Manqiu be used by him. Presumably, the lord's intentions were the same as well, unwilling to kill such a talent.

"It's a pity that they didn't know that you were the one who invented those weapons, nor did they know that you could break through the Iron Pagoda and the Light Cavalry. Otherwise, no one would be willing to kill you."

"Then we should let more people know."

Helian Manqiu gave a faint smile. She did not want to be spied on and assassinated day and night. Even if she had been defending against thieves all day, she could not avoid being stolen. If the other party really did get the chance to kill her, then the gains wouldn't be worth it.

"I understand Qing Yu's meaning, but now is not the time. No one will believe it if I tell others."

"Don't worry, they haven't sent anyone to kill me yet. This is the military state. They will know in the future. At that time, who will be willing to kill me? "

"If they are unable to use it, and learn of Qing Yu's astounding talent, I'm afraid that they would even more want to kill."

"Uncle Luan is right."

Talent was a double-edged sword. Helian Manqiu understood that if her astounding talent was revealed, those who wanted to kill her might be able to temporarily quell their killing intent and think of ways to obtain her so that she could be used by them. But once they couldn't get her, they would never want someone like her to be used. They would do everything in their power to kill her.

"Bang …"

Luan Cheng suddenly raised his hand and a row of arrows flew out, protecting Helian Manqiu's personal guards. First they shot a row of sharp arrows, and then they shot out a row of sharp arrows.

The moment the people outside the window entered the restaurant, they were met by countless arrows. He hastily turned around, the blade in his hand dancing in the air as he rushed out of the window, his body already red.

"They are quite persistent, the timing they chose was not that good."

"Sou, sou, sou …"

On the stairs, someone suddenly jumped down and shot a projectile down from above.

Helian Manqiu held her forehead. It was obvious that more assassins had come today. Assassination during the day was too arrogant. If these people were allowed to escape, they would truly be conferred the title of 'Great General'.

"Qing Yu, something's wrong."

Luan City was the first to notice that something was wrong. How could the other party possibly escape the heavy encirclement? They climbed up the pavilion and started attacking from above. Fortunately, they had stacked the tables in advance, and the concealed weapons did not do them any harm.

During the battle between the two sides, only Chen Yuyang's group, the personal guards, as well as the soldiers that Chen Yuyang's group had brought with them to protect her, were not seen.

What was that great general thinking?

"Yes, tell the brothers to be careful, and use concealed weapons."

"Yes."

"Yes." Luan City responded and could not help but inwardly praise Helian Manqiu for having made preparations in advance and provided them with hidden weapons, armors, arrows, and other items. Originally, they thought that they wouldn't need these things, as they didn't want to be of use today.

The personal guards of Helian Manqiu were also equipped with concealed weapons. They did not leave Helian Manqiu's side, but used their desks to block the surroundings as they exchanged blows with her.

"Bang bang …"

Someone used a knife in his hand to send several tables flying into the air. Helian Manqiu's heart sank. The other party was an expert.

"Back off, Uncle Luan!"

Luan Cheng brandished his saber and rushed forward. The cold glint of the blade was directed at the person who sent the table flying.

"Kacha …"

Helian Manqiu quickly turned her wheelchair. With a lift of her hand, several of her pro-soldiers simultaneously shot their concealed weapons upwards. The two of them descended from the roof and brandished the treasured swords in their hands into a halo of light, shrouding the two of them inside.

He backed up and whispered to all the people around him to back away. There was nowhere for him to back up to the wall.

A sense of alarm rose in his mind. Helian Manqiu whispered: "Dodge to the left and right, flash to the speed of light!"

He rotated the wheelchair and kicked the wall hard. The sleeve arrow shot out.

In the next second, a large hole appeared on the wall without a sound. It was as if the big hole was originally on the wall but was only covered by a layer of paper.

A figure slowly walked out of the large hole. With a casual wave of his hand, all of Helian Manqiu's hidden weapons fell to the ground.

A cold light with killing intent was emitted from that person's hand. It was a sword that radiated with radiance. One could tell that it was a treasured blade.

Helian Manqiu slightly narrowed her eyes. Just now, it should have been this person who had used his internal energy, coupled with the sharpness of his treasured sword, to make a big hole in the wall. Although the treasured sword in this person's hand was like a piece of clay, to be able to use the treasured sword to make a big hole in the thick wall in an instant, this person's inner strength was extremely deep.

Luan City was entangled by the two experts and could not be saved. The troops beside him were no match for this person, rushing up would only be courting death.

The two janissaries were stunned for a moment. They were unable to dodge in time. The person at the cave entrance waved his hand and the two of them were separated. Their bodies didn't collapse even after a long time.

"Retreat, all of you retreat!"

Helian Manqiu shouted as concealed weapons were constantly fired from her wheelchair and from her hands. In this wheelchair, she was equipped with no less than twenty concealed weapons, most of which contained poison. Being able to use the concealed weapons in her wheelchair, she was too lazy to care whether she was accused of smearing poison on the concealed weapons or not in times of crisis.

Lu Keyu hesitated for a long time before concocting the poison and the myrrh medicines. In the end, he did not ask what Helian Manqiu wanted him to do with the poisons, but he still concocted them for her.

The longsword stirred, and the hidden weapons were shattered. The longsword in that man's hand reached Helian Manqiu's chest.
