Chapter 704: Poison
Chapter 704: Poison
They dared not light any lamps, fearing that they would attract the enemy's attention.
I could only grope in the dark, put on my clothes in a hurry, then hold my breath and listen quietly to the movements outside.
Nier felt that every hair on her body stood up.
"Oh no, the enemy is coming!" Ni'er's voice was filled with a hint of fear.
As the noise outside grew closer, they could clearly hear the horrific screams.
Nier held the silver needle tightly in her hand, and held a packet of medicine powder tightly in the other hand.
She protected the princess behind her and watched the tent curtain vigilantly, ready to deal with any enemy that might rush in at any time.
The princess quickly pulled out a large knife that gleamed with cold light from under the bed.
Nier looked at the big knife in the princess's hand in astonishment. She didn't even know when the knife was hidden under the bed.
Without hesitation, the princess raised her knife and pointed it at the tent curtain with a determined look. She whispered, "If the enemy dares to come in, I will kill him with my knife!"
"Even if I can only kill one person, it's worth it! Then I'll slit my own throat. As a princess, I can't let myself fall into the hands of the enemy!"
The princess turned her head and her eyes fell on Ni'er. Her voice trembled slightly, "Nier, do you... do you have any deadly poison here?"
Nier's heart tightened. She stared at the princess and saw that her face was a little pale.
The princess continued, "Slitting my own neck is too ugly. I...I want to die with dignity, preferably quickly, without suffering too much."
Nier was silent for a moment, and finally took out a pill from her arms and placed it in the princess's palm.
The princess held the pill tightly.
Nier looked at the princess and said softly, "This medicine is very toxic. The disease will take effect quickly after taking it."
The princess nodded slightly to show that she understood.
The two of them stayed quietly in the tent, not daring to move, as if time had frozen at this moment.
However, the noise outside the tent was getting louder and louder, as if those people were getting closer.
Every shout and every sound of swords clashing hit the hearts of both men like a heavy hammer.
Nie'er and the princess's heartbeats were getting faster and faster, as if they were about to burst through their throats. They were so nervous that they could hardly breathe.
At this moment, the sound of swords clashing and shouting suddenly became extremely loud, exploding in their ears like thunder, making their eardrums buzz.
Nier and the princess looked at each other and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
However, at this tense moment, none of them dared to relax at all, because the enemy could rush into the tent at any time.
Suddenly, with a "crack", the tent was cut open by a sharp blade.
Nier and the princess looked at the hole in horror, only to see a strong arm reaching in.
Nier picked up the needle without hesitation and stabbed the arm hard.
"Ah~" A scream was heard, and the arm suddenly shrank back as if it had been electrocuted.
However, there were more and more holes in the tent, and it was obvious that the enemy would not give up.
The princess gritted her teeth and swung the sword in her hand desperately, repelling one enemy after another who tried to rush in.
However, Nier's needles were almost gone, and the princess gradually felt overwhelmed.
The tent was shaking under the enemy's fierce attack and was about to collapse.
"Nier, you must live on. Live well for me. No matter what happens, you must promise me."
Suddenly, a huge hole was torn in the tent, and Nie'er and the princess watched a group of enemy soldiers rushing in like hungry wolves.
Faced with this sudden situation, Nie'er and the princess did not panic, but quickly picked up the weapons around them and fought desperately against the enemy.
Nier was quick-witted and quick-handed. She took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and sprinkled a bag of powder on them.
The powder spread instantly, and after the enemy soldiers inhaled it, their hands and feet immediately became weak and they collapsed to the ground.
However, although Nier's powder had some effect, the number of enemy troops was too large, and the two girls were ultimately outnumbered.
One of the enemy soldiers saw this and smiled sinisterly, saying, "Hey, I didn't expect there would be two little beauties here. What a surprise! Take them both away!"
When the princess heard this, she was filled with fear and cried out, "Don't touch me!"
However, her cry did not deter the enemy.
The enemy soldier grinned and said, "It's none of your business!"
As he spoke, he grabbed the princess fiercely.
At this critical moment, the princess opened her hand and looked at the medicine that Nier gave her.
She was so anxious that she stuffed the medicine directly into her mouth.
At this moment, a sharp blade pierced the enemy's chest.
As the sharp blade was pulled out violently, the man screamed and fell straight back.
The princess was frightened by this sudden scene. The pill she was about to swallow was stuck in her throat, making her unable to breathe.
Seeing this, Ni'er rushed forward.
He stretched out his arms and hugged the princess from behind.
Her hands tightly clasped the princess's abdomen, tightening again and again.
Every effort was like a race against time, hoping to make the princess spit out the pill in the shortest possible time.
After some effort, the princess finally spit out the pill. She coughed violently, her face turned even paler, and she said with lingering fear: "Cough, cough, cough, I almost died..."
In the tent, the enemy soldiers fell one after another like wheat ravaged by the wind.
Ni'er widened her eyes and watched the scene nervously until she saw clearly that the person who broke into the tent like a god of war was actually General Li!
An indescribable excitement surged in her heart, and tears instantly blurred her eyes.
The princess was also glad that she did not swallow the poison, otherwise she would probably have died by now.
General Li rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Are you two injured?"
The princess coughed violently and shook her head desperately to indicate that she was fine.
"I, cough cough, let me tell you, I just repelled several enemy troops!" The princess panted, trying to make her voice sound more confident.
Nier looked at the princess with a smile, her eyes full of appreciation and admiration.
"Yes, the princess is very brave."
"You are so awesome. Fortunately, you are protecting me." The princess said gratefully.
General Li's eyes fell on Ni'er, and he suddenly noticed some blood on her clothes. His brows furrowed tightly, and he asked with concern, "Are you hurt?"
Nier raised her arm and took a look, then replied with a smile, "It's not my blood, don't worry."
However, there was still a hint of worry in General Li's eyes, and he seemed not to completely believe what Ni'er said.
Just then, the princess caught a glimpse of Lian Yi walking into the tent.
