The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1020 - 1015: Who Wants to Kill You?

Gui Yunxi, the carriage driver, was just an ordinary, timid commoner; where had he ever seen such a scene? Already shaking with fear, he hid behind Searcy.

Searcy cursed him for being pathetic, and though her words were harsh, she still shielded him.

Gu Youyou worriedly watched the two groups of men fighting while deeply concerned about the partnership of Searcy and Gui Yunxi.

The two of them together, wouldn’t Searcy bully him to death?

Of course, with Searcy’s temperament, only someone with Gui Yunxi’s disposition would suit her. If the other party were too macho, life would be impossible.

One firm, one soft—perfectly matched, just that the roles of man and woman were reversed.

"What kind of people are these?" Searcy asked Gu Youyou in a low voice. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"Deadly assassins."

"Who would send deadly assassins to kill us, oh no, to kill you?"

"I don’t know. Anyone who can afford to train deadly assassins is a possibility, like King Jin."

However, Gu Youyou immediately thought that King Jin wouldn’t be foolish enough to make a move against her at this time.

Then who could it be?

Not long after, more than half were dead or injured on both sides.

Jin Zijin’s men defended flawlessly, but they were also staking their lives in the fight.

The black-clothed adversaries were just as relentless, seeming determined not to stop until their mission was accomplished, with their lives on the line as well.

Gu Youyou and her companions could only hide beside the carriage and watch, unable to help at all.

In such a situation, the deadly assassins would fight to the last man.

As time slipped away, everyone’s expressions grew increasingly grave.

Before them flickered the shadows of swords and blood—commoners all, experiencing for the first time the fragility of life so directly.

Several times, Gu Youyou couldn’t help but want to step forward, knowing that these people were after her alone and thinking that maybe her stepping out could save some lives.

But then she remembered how Jin Zijin would scold her for being reckless with her life, so she restrained herself.

She had barely made it to this day, and she wasn’t ready to die; in fact, she feared death more than anyone.

Yet sometimes, there were so many inevitabilities.

"What a pity I didn’t bring my bag," Searcy said fiercely.

"In this chaos, your bag would be useless. These people are all professionally trained; your little tricks wouldn’t hurt them."

Perhaps belittling Searcy’s ability would distract her and alleviate her own fear.

But at that moment, many more black-clothed figures emerged from the dark woods, and the originally evenly matched groups found a swift victory and defeat with the new arrivals.

Gu Youyou felt a premonition of doom.

Gritting her teeth, she stood up behind the carriage, but Searcy grabbed her and pulled her back.

"What are you trying to do?" Searcy asked angrily.

"Can’t you see? Even if they all die fighting, they won’t win. If I go out now, maybe one less person will die."

"Bullshit." Searcy cursed, and then she stuck a needle into Gu Youyou’s arm.

The needle contained an anesthetic. Gu Youyou’s eyes widened in shock, and moments later, she lost consciousness.

Damn it, this is the needle I’m giving you.

"Make sure you watch her closely," Searcy said coldly, standing up.

"What are you doing?" the frightened Gui Yunxi came out, angrily saying, "You want to go? You can’t."

Searcy, holding a silver needle, waved it before his eyes and said, "Do you want one too? If you’re afraid of dying, roll away farther."

"No, that won’t do." Clearly terrified, Gui Yunxi stubbornly clung to her sleeve.
