Gu Ruobai nodded. "The carriage is waiting for us at the back gate."
Bouncing along the way, Su Mingyu thought the assassin organization should be located neither too far nor too close to the city.
But the carriage kept going for nearly an hour without any sign of stopping.
Su Mingyu was helpless. Propping her head up, she asked in confusion, "What a stupid organization to set up its den so far away. Isn't it inconvenient for information exchange?"
Gu Ruobai's eyelids twitched. "Throughout history, assassin organizations have always been located in remote areas. This way, when they go out on missions, it's harder for others to sneak attack their strongholds from behind."
This was so stupid. Transportation in ancient times was already inconvenient. For any organization, the rapid flow of information was the key to victory.
Su Mingyu rolled her eyes. "Hiding in the bustling city is the best way to defend. This feeling of being over - cautious is really stupid."
Seeing how serious she was, Gu Ruobai raised an eyebrow and asked, "Then what do you think should be done?"
Su Mingyu pursed her lips and thought for a while. "If it were me, I'd place the organization right in the middle of the crowd. Who says an assassin organization must have a fixed stronghold?"
"As long as there are one or two fixed places for information exchange, it's less likely to be wiped out all at once."
Actually, the organization Su Mingyu served in the 21st century was like this.
They usually lived in their own homes according to their social identities.
They only went to specific places to pick up equipment when a mission was assigned.
But Su Mingyu also admitted that this was inseparable from the highly developed information in the 21st century.
She really couldn't agree with this stupid idea of building a den so far away just for fear of being wiped out.
Just as Su Mingyu was talking, she suddenly fell silent sharply. She gave Gu Ruobai a look, and they both listened quietly to the movement outside.
Suddenly, a cold sword pierced through the wall of the carriage and stabbed straight at Su Mingyu's face.
Su Mingyu leaned back to avoid the sword. Then, taking advantage of the momentum, she took out the short dagger hidden in her ankle and directly blocked the cold sword.
There was a screeching sound as the long and short swords sparked.
Seeing that he missed, the owner of the long sword simply spun around in the air and charged straight at Su Mingyu's abdomen.
At this moment, Su Mingyu was forced into a corner of the carriage. Seeing that there was no way back, she simply kicked through the wall behind her and jumped out.
The man didn't expect Su Mingyu to react so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately followed.
But just as he jumped out of the carriage, a short dagger shining with cold light was already against his neck.
"Don't move."
A cold female voice sounded. "If you move even a bit, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow."
The man stiffened his neck but didn't dare to move.
Just as Su Mingyu was about to grab him and ask what was going on, there was a whistling sound in the air, and five or six arrows suddenly flew towards her and the man.
At this time, a big hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed Su Mingyu by the collar, pulling her out of the range of the arrows.
The assassin just now had been killed by the random arrows.
Su Mingyu didn't expect these people to come so fast and be so ruthless. She turned to look at Gu Ruobai.
She saw Gu Ruobai looking down at her. She couldn't help but frown. "What are you looking at? Look outside. There are probably several archers in the forest."
"I know." Gu Ruobai nodded calmly. "I expected this situation a long time ago, so I brought this for you."
With that, Gu Ruobai took out a package from the broken carriage behind. Inside were three guns, one long and two short.
Su Mingyu frowned and looked at the guns. She immediately understood why Gu Ruobai hadn't made a move.
It turned out this guy had been waiting for her!
Rolling her eyes, Su Mingyu took the gun from Gu Ruobai's hand, pulled the trigger, and aimed at the people hiding in the forest.
Almost the moment the gunshot rang out, there was a pained wail from the other side.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Mingyu took two or three steps forward, took out the short gun from her sleeve, and hit those who hadn't reacted yet on the head.
In just an instant, Su Mingyu had quickly and neatly taken out seven people. Gu Ruobai watched with admiration in his eyes.
He had indeed not misjudged. Su Mingyu was truly capable.
Her actions just now were like flowing clouds and running water, fast and ruthless.
"Clap, clap, clap."
Gu Ruobai applauded appreciatively. "If my soldiers could learn even half of your skills, I wouldn't have to train them so hard."
Su Mingyu put away the gun and rolled her eyes at Gu Ruobai. "Couldn't you just say you wanted to see my real skills? You had to go through all this. Are you desperate to see me dead?"
Gu Ruobai smiled and stepped forward. "With me here, I'll surely protect you."
"Tsk." Su Mingyu turned around and showed Gu Ruobai the back of her head. "Just keep bragging."
But when the two of them went up the mountain and invaded the assassin organization's lair, Su Mingyu finally realized how much weight there was in Gu Ruobai's words "I'll surely protect you".
The two of them moved forward. Basically, they killed anyone who stood in their way. The most important thing was that Su Mingyu hardly had to do anything.
Even Gu Ruobai seemed very relaxed.
When they finally reached the central area of the assassin organization and saw the so - called leader, Gu Ruobai didn't even have a single drop of blood on his clothes, not even a hair out of place.
Su Mingyu stared at him with wide eyes.
Although she had always heard how powerful the God of War Gu Ruobai was.
Now that she saw him in action, she really thought he was terrifying. If such a person were to be put in the 21st century, Su Mingyu thought that even ten of herself might not be able to kill him.
Especially his skill with the silver needles. It was truly masterful.
In the end, Gu Ruobai just gave the people a cold look, and they didn't dare to move. So now the leader of the assassin organization was sitting on the ground, looking completely dejected. "Who the hell are you?"
Gu Ruobai didn't even look at him. He stepped on the sword on the ground with his toe and kicked it gently.
The sword seemed to have eyes and flew straight into the leader's collarbone, piercing through it.
With great force, the sword pinned the leader firmly to the wall. The leader's face instantly turned pale from the pain.
"You hurt my people. You must pay ten times the price."
Gu Ruobai's voice was cold and hard, but it sounded warm in Su Mingyu's ears.
She had only been hit by an arrow on her shoulder, but this guy had pierced the man's collarbone. He was really ruthless.
Su Mingyu walked forward slowly and looked down at the man. "Do you still remember my face?"
