The carnival in the royal city dispersed, and inside the palace, Lin Chen and Su Ruoxi were resting in the side hall.
"It feels like it's almost time, so be careful when the time comes," Lin Chen said.
"Don't underestimate me, I won't show any flaws, I will handle it well." Su Ruoxi understood what Lin Chen wanted to say.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then waited quietly.
Not long after, there was movement outside. Although it was extremely hidden and the aura fluctuations were deliberately hidden, Lin Chen still noticed it.
coming!
Lin Chen and Su Ruoxi knew very well that their appearance would definitely arouse Tie Luo's vigilance.
For Tie Luo, regardless of whether they have the ability to cure the Mermaid King, getting rid of him directly is the safest way.
After a hundred deaths, there is no longer any risk.
So the assassination was expected!
The guards outside the side hall were quickly knocked down. Anyone who can sneak into the palace to assassinate is naturally a good fighter. Among the mermaids, they are naturally close to the shadows and are naturally suitable for assassination.
In front of such a killer, the formation of the side hall was obviously of no use, and was quickly broken through.
The mermaid killer entered the side hall and saw that Lin Chen and Su Ruoxi were still unconscious, and couldn't help but sneered.
Next, it only takes one knife to kill these two desperate doctors!
Take action!
However, the knife that was usually so handy seemed to be filled with lead at this moment, and its movements were actually sluggish!
The effectiveness of sneak attacks will be greatly reduced!
Is this poison?!
People who use medicine will naturally use poison!
"Be careful!" Su Ruoxi exclaimed. She noticed the assassination and shouted hurriedly. While avoiding it, she also pushed Lin Chen away.
Only then did Lin Chen react, with a look of panic on his face. The light in his hand flashed and he scattered a lot of venom, powder, etc.
To prevent assassins from attacking.
"Oops, it's a poison master!" The assassin was shocked.
However, they are all well-trained in the secret technique of instantaneous operation, which is a method that can temporarily strip away the perception of the physical body.
No matter how strong the toxicity is, it will be suppressed and difficult to reproduce. As for whether they live or die afterwards, it is not their concern.
So cruel!
Totally a dead soldier!
"Start the alarm quickly and notify the captain of the guard!" Lin Chen shouted, and in a panic, all kinds of bottles and cans were thrown out crazily.
to prevent assassination.
And Su Ruoxi also struggled to turn on the alarm.
What happened here was known instantly, and the captain of the guard would bring someone over soon.
"Ah Hua, hold on!" Lin Chen shouted, it was very dangerous and he was already injured.
"Ashu, use stone shells!" Su Ruoxi shouted.
The stone shell is a kind of shellfish with an extremely hard shell, which can even withstand attacks from the Shenzang Realm. It is often used as armor by the mermaid tribe.
But it's already very rare.
"boom!"
There was an explosion, and the stone shell shell withstood the assassin's blow. The sound of cracking sounds continued, and it was already cracked.
But in the end, it was barely blocked.
"Damn it!" The assassin's eyes flashed coldly, he didn't expect that the other party actually had such a thing as a stone shell.
Before the blow could be struck, he could already feel his body becoming numb.
Toxins enter the body.
Even with my secret skills, I can't always support it!
"They must be killed!" shouted an assassin.
The other few also showed cruelty in their eyes, with a red halo appearing on their bodies, and they began to fight for their lives, vowing to kill them all!
However, these two people were not very strong and seemed to be running away in a hurry. However, for some reason, they could always avoid the vital points. The key fatal attacks were never effective.
If he hadn't known that these two people were doctors and not good at fighting, the assassin would have even thought that these two people were extremely powerful beings, and would have completely mastered his attack methods, just like a cat playing with a mouse!
Of course, that is impossible, just a little bit can kill both of them!
"Puff!"
Lin Chenhe
Su Ruoxi flew out upside down, with big cuts on her body.
He was about to die.
"Ahua, hold on, we can't die here!"
"Ashu, don't die, don't die!"
"Ahua!"
"Ashu!"
"Death!" the assassin roared, intending to kill both of them with the final attack!
However, the next moment, his body suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterwards, the same happened to the remaining assassins. Their bodies exploded and were directly broken open by a huge force!
It was the captain of the guard who arrived.
He rushed out and saw that Lin Chen and Su Ruoxi were both seriously injured, and his eyes became extremely gloomy and angry!
"Go check, I want to find out who sent the assassin!" the captain of the guard roared.
But in fact, he already made a judgment in his mind without checking. Who else dares to do such a thing in this royal city now?
Soon, the doctors from the palace came over to treat Lin Chen and Su Ruoxi's injuries.
After a while, the two men's injuries were considered stable.
Lin Chen himself has the ability to heal. After that, they will heal themselves. The process needs to be absolutely quiet, and a medical cocoon will be formed to completely cover the two of them.
Everyone else also withdrew.
"Master Guard!"
Outside the side hall, a doctor saluted.
"You don't have to be polite," the captain of the guard waved his hand, and then asked, "How is the situation?"
"My life is no longer in danger," the doctor said with a smile.
"Is that so?" The captain of the guard breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes flashed and he asked, "How dangerous were their previous injuries?"
"I almost died, just a little bit. It should be that the poison they used had an effect and caused the assassin's attack to deviate. In addition, it was also because you, the captain of the guard, arrived in time," the doctor said solemnly.
The captain of the guard nodded.
From this point of view, the two of them were indeed attacked by assassins, and it was good luck to survive. "So, they are indeed not from over there," the captain of the guard whispered in his heart.
If so, then they must arrange a meeting with the Mermaid King as soon as possible.
There is no time to hesitate!
"I will personally stay here tonight. You go and report back to His Majesty. If possible, we will arrange an audience with them tomorrow!" the captain of the guard shouted to one of his men.
"Yes," the soldier quickly left.
In the side hall, the auras of Lin Chen and Su Ruoxi have stabilized. Next, they will naturally restore their harmony. I believe they will be able to act normally tomorrow.
However, it is not that easy to fully recover.
Of course, this is all an illusion!
The two of them just put on a show, just to use the assassin to eliminate the captain of the guard's doubts, so as not to have to investigate for several days and waste time.
I believe that tonight’s farce has dispelled most of the captain’s doubts. Maybe we can see the Mermaid King tomorrow!
"Miss Su's acting skills are a little exaggerated," Lin Chen said.
"I didn't show any flaws," Su Ruoxi refused.
"That call of Ah Shu made me almost act out. How could I call Ah Hua so real and sincere? You still have to practice," Lin Chen said.
Su Ruoxi didn't say anything and just rolled her eyes at Lin Chen to show her attitude.
"Hey, you won't listen to me telling you about drama, but forget it, at least you can still handle props. It seems that you are more suitable for logistics work," Lin Chen said with a smile.
Su Ruoxi was slightly startled.
Indeed, since she entered into an engagement with Ruo Haitang, she has rarely been seen in public. More often, she has been behind the scenes, planning for Ruo Haitang and supporting his dominance as king!
But that’s how it should be, for the husband and wife to complement each other, and there is always a division of labor in front of and behind the scenes.
And what she is doing now is paving the way for Ruo Haitang behind the scenes!
"It's time for you to go," Su Ruoxi said.
Lin Chen nodded and warned, "Be careful and don't expose any flaws."
At that moment, Lin Chen quietly escaped from the cocoon, left the side hall and headed towards the Marshal's Mansion.
