Before the man could react, Wei Tingyu grabbed his neck with his left wrist!
Then Wei Tingyu applied a little force with his hand, and after a crisp cracking sound, his figure quickly retreated back to Ren Ruyi's side.
Only after he stood still did Jialing's deputy, the one in red robes, roll his eyes and fall heavily to the ground.
Judging from the exaggeratedly twisted angle of his neck, everyone knew that Wei Tingyu had crushed his neck bones in that instant!
This time, not only the other Zhu Yiwei were shocked, but even Jialing was also shocked!
If Wei Tingyu had attacked her instead, she would undoubtedly be the one lying on the ground right now.
Because Jialing knew that he hadn't even seen the opponent's attack clearly, and hadn't even had time to react before his deputy beside him had already been killed.
I never expected that the opponent not only had profound internal strength, but also such remarkable lightness skills and movement techniques!
At this moment, Jialing's heart trembled slightly with fear. She never dreamed that the ambush she had painstakingly set up would not only attract Ren Ruyi, but also trap such a big fish!
However, this fish is just too big; my net probably can't hold it, and the boat might sink and the net might break!
At this point, turning around and running away would be impossible. Based on Wei Tingyu's skills just now, Jialing was certain that as soon as he turned around, he would be killed by the opponent from behind with a palm strike before he could even take two steps.
However, her usually ruthless and composed personality played a huge role at this moment. The woman's eyes shifted slightly, and her gaze turned to Ren Ruyi.
"You've brought in a marquis from the Central Plains to be your helper?!" Jialing stared intently at Ren Ruyi and asked directly, "Ren Xin! Haven't you always been a loner, unwilling to trust anyone?"
“People change!” Ren Ruyi smiled faintly, completely unfazed by Jialing’s provocation. Instead, she looked tenderly at Wei Tingyu’s profile and said, “You’re different now! So naturally I’m different too!”
"Lord Wei! This matter has nothing to do with you, do you really have to interfere?" Seeing this, Jialing could only ask Wei Tingyu, "This is an internal matter of our An Kingdom! Lord Wei, aren't you afraid that your actions will bring trouble to your country?"
"I naturally have no interest in your country's affairs!" Wei Tingyu smiled, then looked at Jialing and said, "But you've set an ambush to kill my woman! How can I stand idly by?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jialing was stunned. Then, looking at Ren Ruyi, he immediately understood.
She felt something was off when she fought Ren Ruyi before, and now she understands why!
The other person is no longer a virgin, but a young married woman!
Who would have thought that Ren Ruyi would actually resort to using her body to find accomplices for herself?!
"He's been using his lightness skill to keep up with our fast horses, he must be exhausted by now!" Thinking this, Jialing immediately shouted to his men, "His attack just now must be at its last gasp! Let's all rush in and kill him!"
"A thousand pieces of gold will be awarded to whoever kills this man! Those who are cowardly and retreat will have their entire families wiped out!"
"Go!" Jialing knew that it was impossible to let Wei Tingyu stay out of it, so he frowned and gave the order loudly.
We can figure out a way to save the money later, but if we turn around and run away now, we will definitely have no chance of survival. The only way out is probably to fight Wei Tingyu in front of us!
The other Zhu Yiwei assassins understood this principle as well, especially after hearing Jialing's words, a last glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts!
Moreover, those who retreat will have their entire families wiped out! This alone is enough to deter them from disobeying, even if they are afraid.
So after receiving Jialing's order, they gritted their teeth and charged at Wei Tingyu with their swords!
Wei Tingyu naturally didn't take these people seriously at all. Any Zhu Yiwei assassin who got within four or five steps of him was killed on the spot with a single palm strike!
His domineering internal force struck these Zhu Yiwei assassins like a slipper slapping a cockroach, directly shattering their internal organs and causing them to bleed from their seven orifices, each dying a gruesome death!
Ren Ruyi leaped out of the assassins' encirclement and charged straight at Jialing.
At this moment, she no longer held back and launched a full-scale attack!
After parrying only a few moves, Jialing began to falter and could only defend passively.
Only then did she realize that Ren Ruyi's martial arts skills were no longer on the same level as hers! She grew increasingly terrified!
In just a dozen or so breaths, Wei Tingyu had killed all the remaining twenty-odd Zhu Yiwei. Turning his head to look at Ren Ruyi, he saw that the young woman had swiftly pierced Jialing's chest with her sword!
After being struck by the sword, Jialing's eyes glazed over. As Ren Ruyi's sword was withdrawn from her body, all her strength seemed to dissipate in an instant, and she collapsed onto the shallow beach.
Wei Tingyu slowly walked forward and saw that Jialing was still breathing, his eyes filled with resentment!
"My lord!" Ren Ruyi glanced at Wei Tingyu and said in a low voice, "This person..."
Logically speaking, Jialing was her enemy and the main accomplice in the death of Empress Zhaojie, who was both her teacher and mother. Therefore, Ren Ruyi had long wanted to end her life as soon as she saw her!
However, at this moment, she had to ask Wei Tingyu before she could make a decision! Because today, she was able to kill Jialing by herself without Wei Tingyu's help!
"Since he's your enemy, you can deal with him!" Wei Tingyu said directly after glancing at Jialing, who was lying on the ground panting heavily.
Although this woman was quite attractive, she had worked her way up from the lowest rank of White Sparrow, and had slept with countless men along the way!
In addition, he is ruthless and has no loyalty or sense of righteousness whatsoever. It would be dangerous to keep such a person around!

Chapter 191 Ren Ruyi's Attachment to the Marquis! Yang Ying's Growth!
Therefore, Wei Tingyu never even considered taking Jialing into his household!
After receiving Wei Tingyu's order, Ren Ruyi glanced at him gratefully, then raised her sword and walked step by step toward the fallen Jialing.
Jialing looked at the sword tip, which gleamed coldly and was dripping with blood, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes.
However, neither Wei Tingyu nor Ren Ruyi were moved in the slightest by the sight of the beautiful woman in distress before them.
After all, she set this trap to kill Ren Ruyi, and after Wei Tingyu appeared, she even wanted to kill him!
If Wei Tingyu hadn't been a step ahead and hadn't been so overwhelmingly stronger, would Jialing have let him and Ren Ruyi go? Just thinking about it makes it clear that it's absolutely impossible!
Wei Tingyu's benevolence was never shown to such a mortal enemy!
"Jialing!" Ren Ruyi pressed the sword against Jialing's neck, looking down at her coldly and saying, "Today is your retribution for being an accomplice in the death of Empress Zhaojie!"
"But don't worry, Deng Hui won't live much longer! I'll send him to see you soon!"
"Hehe...cough cough...hehe...cough..." Jialing coughed up blood while laughing.
Seeing that she had no way out, she was actually relieved!
He stared at Ren Ruyi, panting heavily, and said, "You think... cough cough... the real culprit who killed Empress Zhaojie... cough cough... is... Deng Hui?"
"Who is that?" Upon hearing that it concerned Empress Zhaojie, Ren Ruyi's expression immediately changed! She even put away the sword in her hand, squatted down, and looked at Jialing to ask.
Wei Tingyu stepped forward and pressed two acupoints on Jialing's body with his fingers, temporarily stopping her coughing up blood so that she could continue talking to Ren Ruyi.
"Ren Xin, Ren Xin!" Jialing felt much better immediately after Wei Tingyu sealed her acupoints. She glanced at him with a hint of surprise, then immediately looked at Ren Ruyi and asked, "Why did the Empress refuse to go with you when you went to save her?"
"Who in this world could make the Empress willingly face death?"
Upon hearing Jialing's words, Ren Ruyi's eyes widened in disbelief! It was as if her original beliefs had been completely shattered in that instant, and an expression of disbelief even appeared in her eyes.
"Explain yourself!" Although she had considered this possibility, her instincts still didn't want to believe it, so she stared at Jialing and asked again, "Who is it?!"
"Hmph... Don't you... understand... yet?" Jialing sneered with a disdainful expression. Her voice grew softer and softer, the light in her eyes quickly faded, and she collapsed to the ground as if she had completely lost her strength.
Ren Ruyi's sword strike had just hit Jialing's vitals. Her last few words were merely a final burst of energy before she died. At this moment, she had exhausted all the energy in her life.
"Explain yourself!" When Ren Ruyi saw that Jialing had lost her life, she went crazy and shook her body frantically.
But all of this was in vain, because she could clearly feel that Jialing's body temperature was rapidly decreasing, and he soon became a cold corpse.
"Medicine! Where is my medicine!" Ren Ruyi, severely injured, quickly reached for her waist and, finding that she had no miraculous medicine to bring her back to life, turned to look at Wei Tingyu.
"My lord! Save her! I must know the answer!" Ren Ruyi pleaded anxiously with Wei Tingyu.
Because at this moment, she felt that there was nothing in this world that Wei Tingyu couldn't do, so she had no choice but to ask him for help.
“She’s dead!” Wei Tingyu said helplessly, then reached out and hugged Ruyi to his arms. “Besides, you already have the answer! She’s made herself clear enough!”
"I don't know! I don't know anything!" Ren Ruyi denied loudly as if she had lost her mind. With the torrential rain pouring down, Wei Tingyu couldn't even tell whether the water on her face was rain or tears!
"She's always been a liar! She's lying to me!" This was the first time Ren Ruyi had ever been so distraught. Even on the day Empress Zhaojie passed away, she had never been this dejected!
"Ruyi!" Wei Tingyu watched as Ren Ruyi stood up, staggered a few steps in the heavy rain, and then collapsed unconscious.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and scooped Ren Ruyi up from behind, preventing her from falling heavily onto the rocky beach.
……
The next morning, Ren Ruyi woke up in a warm embrace.
When she opened her eyes, she found herself dressed in a refreshing dress and lying in Wei Tingyu's arms.
Wei Tingyu tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.
"My lord!" Ren Ruyi frowned, then tried to get up, only to find that she had no strength left in her body.
"You're finally awake!" Wei Tingyu smiled when he heard Ren Ruyi call his name, and then spoke.
After all, this girl was unconscious last night, not asleep, so you can't wake her up by calling her; you can only wait for her to wake up on her own.
Fortunately, Ren Ruyi has always practiced martial arts, so she is in good physical condition. Even though she suffered such a great shock and was caught in a downpour last night, she recovered on her own after being unconscious for a night.
He's just a little weak right now!
"You stayed with me all night, Lord Marquis?" Ren Ruyi was quite moved and looked at Wei Tingyu, asking, "How could you be so foolish? So many people at home are waiting for you to return safely."
"If I exhaust myself taking care of me... how will I face Madam and the others?!"
"I can't just leave you out in the rain, can I?" Wei Tingyu said, then leaned down and gently kissed Ren Ruyi's forehead.
"I've been tortured in the icy spring, so what's a little rain?" Ren Ruyi felt Wei Tingyu's kiss on her forehead and smiled gently as she spoke.
"I know you've been to the icy spring, that's why I can't bear to see you suffer like that again!" However, Wei Tingyu hugged the beauty in his arms even tighter: "From now on, I will never let you suffer any harm again!"
Upon hearing these words, Ren Ruyi finally couldn't help but shed a tear.
