His Rui

Chapter 662 Already Destined Defeat



Chapter 662 Already Destined Defeat

  Shadow guards in the number of hundreds attacked Youxio valley. 

  The valley rang with the sound of swords being clanked and the arrows being shot and then penetrating someone's body. 

  It was a sudden attack and no one in the valley had been prepared. 

  However, Gu Li still tried his best to manage everything. His eyes went cold when he saw how the arrows were attacking his people who were fighting the other shadow guards. 

  He with Rong Ting first found those who were hiding in bushes with their bow and arrows. Soon he found that Xi Ying's shadow guards were doing the same. 

  After making sure that none of them was hidden to shoot arrows, he finally came to the open ground and first of all, looked towards his master's tent. 

  In a moment, he went inside the tent to make sure that no one was there. 

  "Stay inside."

  Gu Li was relieved when he saw that only two physicians with the old physician were inside the tent. He strictly asked the old physician not to leave the old master alone in any situation. 

  The old master nodded his head with a somber expression on his face. However, he was worried about Li Rui. Perhaps he had seen Li Rui been attacked so many times that he couldn't help but asl

  "Are they again for Rui?"

  His voice was cold and the question made Gu Li freeze. 

  He didn't know the answer but he couldn't diminish this possibility. The next thing, Gu Li did was to exit the tent ad then go and check on Li Rui. 

  However, as soon as he stepped inside the tent, a dagger was on his neck. 

  "It's me, Rui"

  Gu Li spoke gently when he saw Li Rui aiming the dagger at his neck. She had Xi Ling in his arms who was now wide awake and looked confused. 

  "Senior Brother"

  Li Rui sighed in relief and asked Gu Li what was going on outside. 

  "Ying just came and asked me not to step outside in any situation. What is going on outside? Have someone attacked us?"

  "Yes"

  Gu Li nodded his head but immediately assured Li Rui. 

  "Don't worry. They are less in numbers compared to us. They will be soon taken down."

  Li Rui nodded her head calmly. She would have gone out to help but she didn't want to leave Xi Ling here alone. 

  On hearing Gu Li's words, she was finally assured. 

  Gu Li left the tent but he always stayed around as he fought with enemies. 

  He had said right. Although the fight was too sudden, it didn't prove to be too difficult as the enemies were lesser in numbers.

  Within half a shichen, all the hundred shadow guards were taken down. 

  The last shadow guard who was still alive was kneeling in front of Xi Ying all bloodied. 

  "Who sent you?"

  Xi Ying heard Gu Li asking the shadow guard coldly. 

  However, the shadow guard didn't answer Gu Li's question. He kneeled with his head lowered weakly as if he didn't fear death. 

  Xi Ying smiled coldly.

  He raised the shadow guard's chin with his dagger and looked at him with a pair of eyes that were full of ruthlessness. 

  "You are just as stupid as your master."

  The shadow guard's eyes widened with shock as he understood that Xi Ying knew who sent them. His master needed to know this. 

  "P…Prime Minister Xi…"

  The shadow guard whispered in a voice full of panic and fear. 

  His master would not leave him alive if he will get to know that neither were they able to destroy Youxio nor could they kill Xi Ying or Li Rui. 

  Also, they have been found out. 

  Because his master never wanted Xi Ying to know of his plans.

  They have been sent by the Emperor to destroy Youxio but when they have found that Xi Ying and his wife, Lady Li were also there, their leader had decided that they would kill everyone to calm down their master's anger. 

  It had been a very sudden plan and that's why it didn't take long in their defeat. 

  They had underestimated YYouxio's strength. They had thought Youxio was weak after so many years so they decided to attack but had never thought they would not stand against them for more than half shichen. 

  Xi Ying smirked coldly. However, he asked him the question he had inside his heart quite calmly 

  "Tell this Lord honestly …is your master aware that this Lord is here?"

  The shadow guard swallowed. He didn't want to answer the question. However, Xi Ying's aura intimidated him so much that he shook his head honestly accepting that his master didn't know. 

  Xi Ying was relieved inside his heart. 

  He had also thought the same. 

  He had seen them around the valley yesterday as well but they were still unaware of their presence according to him because they seemed to be searching for something. 

  It must have been that they planned all this so suddenly. 

  It was just that he had not expected that so many of them were hiding in the valley. 

  He was quite surprised and felt a little ridiculous as he wondered just how many people Zhao Wang Lei had on his side after so many of them are killed tonight. 

  The foolish emperor didn't even know the irresponsible decision that was making him lose so much manpower would cost him greatly because it would only make him more weak and easy for him(Xi Ying) to dethrone him as well as kill him mercilessly. 

  "Who were you here to kill?"

  Xi Ying asked the last question to the shadow guard.

  The shadow guard swallowed as he answered 

  "Youxio …and Lady Li…"

  The name escaped his lips and the next moment, his head separated from his body. 

  Looking at all the dead bodies, Xi Ying's eyes were deathly cold and he looked at Gu Li

  "Do you have any way to make them reach Zhao Wang Lei?"

  Gu Li's eyes flickered as he understood that it was Zhao Wang Lei who had sent them. 

  He looked at the dead bodies coldly and nodded his head.

  He will make sure that all of them reach him and tomorrow morning, the so-called mighty Emperor will wake up to their dead bodies.
