Chapter Ninety-Seven: Blessings and Misfortunes
As soon as the assassination came out, Jiang Li sent someone to find Yun Tong in the garden and told him the news of Xiao Wu's injury. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiang Li stepped upstairs, and Yun Tong took the brothers who came with him with Qiushuang and entered the room temporarily prepared for Xiao Wu. As soon as they entered the house, they immediately blasted out the little ones who had remained in the room.
Everyone sat or stood, crowded around Xiao Wu's bed one after another, and Qiushuang, who couldn't squeeze in, could only stare dryly behind the human wall.
Xiao Wu reclined on the bed of beech woodcarved poems and paintings, smiling at a room of brothers glaring at him.
"How did you get hurt?" The two faces almost came to Xiao Wu's face, and asked at the same time.
The one who opened his mouth was a dumb, and the other man with a black face and long hands was Chu Feng, the second leader of Qingfeng Village, known as a crazy gambler.
"Uh," Xiao Wu's slender fingers touched his forehead, thinking about how to phrase it, "the sword has no eyes. β
"Poof!" Chen Yu didn't squeeze to the bed, he was sitting in the middle of the room and took a wine jug to drink, and after listening to Xiao Wu's words, he squirted out a mouthful of old wine.
With the back of his hand rubbing his mouth, Chen Yu's mouth grinned at the back of his neck and sneered: "Fifth brother, you know how embarrassing it is to say this!" As we knew before we came, today's Assassins are a bunch of women! Don't tell the brothers that the five masters of Qingfeng Village can't even beat a group of women. Although you just hung up the dots, it is already quite embarrassing. β
Chen Yu finally seized the opportunity to entertain Xiao Wu, and laughed heartlessly.
Yun Tong saw that the injury on Xiao Wu's back was not serious, so he retreated from the bed and sat down at the table.
Qiu Shuang had a chance to get to the bed, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but reach forward and help Xiao Wu's arm.
"It's no wonder that he wasn't alone. It's not surprising that someone around is distracted, and it's not surprising that they are hurt. "Yuntong ranks third in Qingfeng Village, and it is not for nothing. He has always been very accurate in observing and analyzing things.
Yun Tong smiled, "The fifth child suddenly left the table just now, I guess someone must have invited him, maybe it's still a woman." β
Xiao Wu didn't speak, and several big men looked at each other, looking at each other and smiling a little ambiguously.
Qiushuang lowered her head and twitched the corners of her mouth: "Hehe, it's really an eye-opener." I can't imagine that Miss Jiang is that kind of person! β
Xiao Wu's face was cold, and he said, "Don't guess blindly. Ms. Jiang did not invite me to meet. Someone with ulterior motives had lured me to her, and it was only when I arrived that the Assassins appeared. Miss Jiang doesn't know martial arts, she almost lost her life, the situation is urgent, I deal with it alone, and injuries are inevitable. β
"Oh," Yun Tong muttered as he shook the folding fan in his hand, "So someone wants to kill Miss Jiang?" Assassinating in Miss Jiang's own territory, and assassinating in front of you, if you really want to kill someone, isn't it a little unreasonable? β
Xia Cheng opened his voice on the side: "So they don't want to kill? β
Qiushuang flashed her good-looking single phoenix eyes, and said without raising her head: "If you don't want to kill, I just want to give you a warning?" Maybe someone who admires Miss Jiang thinks you are close to her? β
Dumb laughed: "If you want to say that, Sister Qiushuang is also suspicious!" β
"You!" Autumn Frost glared at Dumb angrily. Dumb squeezed his eyebrows at a young man beside him who looked like a knife-like face: "I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that the fifth brother and Miss Jiang will not always be me and the fourth brother when they get close." Then again, we'd love to see it happen. β
"What's in it for you if they don't succeed?!" Autumn Frost's face turned red, and her willow eyebrows stood upside down.
"There are so many benefits. Miss Jiang is so rich, she wants to follow my fifth brother, in the future, I can come to Jinmei Villa to eat and live for nothing, and when the fifth brother leaves me alone in the capital, I can also follow Miss Jiang to eat and drink spicy food, I can also learn to do business with her, and I can also run errands for her, and earn some money to spend by the way. Dumb shook his head and snapped his fingers, grinning.
"Money junkies! Kitschy!! Qiushuang rolled her eyes, "You say that, and the fifth brother is also said to be cheesy." β
"Autumn frost, I was also cheesy. You have forgotten that I am also a merchant now, and we are imperial merchants who came to the capital from Nanchen to do business. Profit-seeking like ordinary businessmen is as tacky as they are. Whether I was a bandit or a businessman, I was never noble. Xiao Wu said lightly.
Qiushuang said with a sparkling gaze: "This is not you." Whether it's a bandit or a businessman, it's not the real you. You are not cheesy, you are naturally noble, you are the prince of Nan Chen, you are different from themγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Enough!" Xiao Wu broke off coldly, "Please don't mention my origin, I just want to be myself." β
There was silence in the room. Yun Tong coughed lightly and said, "Actually, Miss Qiushuang just said that it is not unreasonable for someone to be jealous of you and go with Miss Jiang. If that were the case, it might be easier to deal with. Fear is fear, but the assassin has another purpose. β
Xiao Wu raised his eyebrows and waited for Yun Tong to continue.
Yun Tong thought for a while, and analyzed them one by one: "You see, if the person who assassinated you today gave you a warning out of jealousy, then the people around you are very recognizable," -- glanced at Qiushuang and smiled: "I'm just making an analogy." β
"So how many such people are there around Miss Jiang, she should know who they are when she thinks about it." Yun Tong said.
"Fan Sicheng is definitely one! He and Miss Jiang have just become engaged. Qiushuang said. This time, Dumb didn't say anything.
Yun Tong said: "However, if the assassin is not for love, but he wants to ask the fifth child to see Miss Jiang, and then he will kill the killer." With the fifth child here, they may not be able to succeed in killing people, but the warning they want to give you has been reached, and in that case, they can test the degree to which you care about Miss Jiang. If you care, he has your handle. β
"Isn't that nonsense? If it is changed, others will not see death and not save it, right? Xiao Wu's brows furrowed slightly.
"Maybe others will be saved, but few people don't even care about their own lives for the sake of others!" Yun Tong said coldly. "Look at you, how can you be so badly injured with your kung fu? Even if you want to save someone, you don't leave your back to the enemy, and you don't care about yourself in such a dangerous situation, but you have to protect others. Sacrificing one's life to save others is not something that ordinary people can do. He's testing your bottom line. β
Xiao Wu's expression was in a trance, thinking of the feeling that the sword was slashing towards Jiang Li, and he couldn't help but feel chills when he thought about it at this time.
He didn't know what that meant, and suddenly he was a little impetuous. I used to be a very calm person, why did I suddenly get upset? He thought to chagrin.
Yun Tong looked at his annoyance with a smile or not, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "You have to make up your own mind, it's not too late to start." If Miss Jiang marries someone with that amount of money, you will really be empty of both people and property. If you don't want her, we're going to get her back. β
Xiao Yu glared at Yun Tong angrily, lowering his eyes and waiting to answer him. Changing the subject lightly: "Help me go when I take a break." β
"Where to go?" Dumb asked.
"Of course it's Qianqiufang, the fifth brother has been living there before." Qiushuang said.
"Go to the Nanchen Chamber of Commerce." Xiao Wu said lightly. "Since we are here to do business, the chamber of commerce set up in Beijing will be our home in the future. There is no shortage of anything, and there are people waiting for you, so you don't have to come to wait for me often. You are the daughter of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother entrusted us to take care of you, not to let you wait for others. Don't let me be distracted. Fourth brother, wait a minute, you can send me autumn frost back. β
"Hmm." The young man next to Dumb nodded heavily.
Qiushuang's face sank and she was so angry that she couldn't speak, she pulled the corner of her clothes in her hand and twisted it, biting her lower lip, holding back her tears.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. (To be continued.) )
