36. Assassination in the night
"Listen, I'm a ruthless person, it has nothing to do with me what kind of relationship you have with Yu Yuan, you are the shopkeeper I hired, and she is the key to whether my shop is open normally, that's all. If you think that I have gone too far in forcing her to face Mei Zimo, then I want to ask you, how can I not go too far? It's okay to hide yourself like you do? Or do you not say it at all? Either approach will not solve the problem, but will make things more and more chaotic and lose the original purpose. ”
After a pause, he continued: "And the person who forced Yu Yuan to do this is actually you, if you confessed to knowing Yu Yuan at the beginning, or if you investigated clearly and then replied to Mei Zimo, today's incident would not have happened, so do you think I should be blamed?" ”
Yes, Liu Yue is right, he shouldn't blame Liu Yue in his heart for being ruthless to Yu Yuan, no matter how difficult she is for Yu Yuan, the initial reason is because of him.
Looking at the deep self-blame in Fang Yuan's eyes, Liu Yue sighed slightly: "Just now Yu Yuan stood up very happily to take on this matter, which shows that she is a responsible girl, and I also believe that she will handle this matter well, and after coming into contact with Mei Zimo that day, I found that he has a straightforward temper, and I believe that as long as Yu Yuan makes the matter clear to him, it can be resolved safely, but you, you should also have a long memory of this matter, and then respond after investigating everything clearly." ”
A trace of surprise crossed Fang Yuan's eyes, obviously he was much older than her, but at this time, Liu Yue gave her the feeling that she was the elder, although her tone was tough, she taught him carefully out of kindness.
The roots of his ears were red, he was not a foolish person, knowing that Liu Yue was helping him and advising him, he humbly accepted her kindness, "I hope to forgive me for the rudeness, thank you Miss Liu for this matter, please rest assured, Mei Zimo's matter will be reopened, and the owner will be asked to give more guidance at that time." ”
Hearing him call himself the owner, Liu Yue knew in her heart that Fang Yuan should have a little sincerity to accept herself now.
"You can just look at the things of the shop, you have more experience than me in the rouge industry, everything can be done according to your own will, and if you can't solve it, you can send someone to find me." Liu Yue said lightly with her hands behind her back.
Fang Yuan just wanted to agree, a sound of breaking wind came, this voice is too familiar, Li Hongyi died in the sound of breaking wind in his previous life, who is it?
With a tilt of his head, Liu Yue looked sideways at the night sky, as if he had expected to dodge the arrows shot in the dark.
The other party was obviously rushing to kill, and the sound of breaking the wind continued to shoot at them one after another when the arrow missed, and she hurriedly grabbed Fang Yuan's sleeve and hid in the alley.
"Run!" Liu Yue's eager voice ran through the entire alley.
She didn't know who shot the cold arrow from where, but instinctively ran away with Fang Yuan.
Eager panting, panicked steps, Liu Yue led Fang Yuan through the alley, and when there was no sound of breaking wind in her ears, she and Fang Yuan leaned against a wall around the corner, her eyes subconsciously searched around, trying to find a safer place to hide.
She and Fang Yuan didn't have the strength to get around, and in her previous life, she had the dagger that Li Hongjing gave her, but right now, she didn't have anything in her hand.
Liu Yue's nerves were tense at this time, and it was impossible to say that she was not afraid, and when the first arrow swept through the air, the uncontrollable tremor of her whole body almost made her unable to breathe in cardiac arrest, as if someone was standing behind her and restrained her breathing.
"Someone's coming!" Fang Yuan gasped and whispered.
Liu Yue's heart shrank suddenly, and the sound of subtle and chaotic footsteps sounded all around.
I can't help but want to laugh, there are still a lot of people, just to kill her? It's a bit of a fuss.
Between breaths, the footsteps got closer and closer, and in the shadows of the narrow alley, there were towering heads, and the cold light flashed, and six people appeared from the darkness.
He~ It's really face-giving!
Fang Yuan eased his uneven breath, he grazed Liu Yue's heart from the first arrow, and was grabbed by her hand and ran away for a while, without panic, without screaming, Liu Yue's reaction to someone assassinating her was extremely calm, and her violently beating heart slowly calmed down.
Liu Yue glanced sideways at Fang Yuan, there was a little worry and apology in her eyes, and the black-clothed man who took the lead stared at her for a moment, obviously this assassination was aimed at her, but Fang Yuan was implicated by her.
Stabilizing her mind, Liu Yue resumed her smiling appearance, her back left the wall, and she stood in the middle of the alley, her voice was crisp, and her breath was still a little unstable, "Who ordered you to take my life?" ”
The man in black didn't answer, and approached step by step with Leng Sensen's sword.
She spread her hands out at them, and said in a nonchalant tone, "I don't have weapons in my hands, and I don't know martial arts, so I don't have to worry about me resisting and running away, just to know who wants my life before I die, can't this little request be satisfied?" ”
The man in black who walked in the front said in a calm voice, "There are rules on the road, you can't break the rules to do things, if you are wronged, you can go on the road like this." Rest assured, a sword in the chest and a sword in the neck does not hurt at all. ”
Some coaxing tone, when she Liu Yue is a one-year-old child? In her previous life, she killed herself, would she not know if it hurts or not?
Fang Yuan heard the words of the man in black, and stepped forward in two steps to block Liu Yue with his body.
The light in front of her dimmed instantly, and Liu Yue smiled, thanking Fang Yuan for not rushing to break up with her at the critical moment, and risking his life to protect her.
She raised her hand and patted Fang Yuan's back, "It's okay, trust me." ”
Trust her? What else to believe at this time? What suspense is there for two powerless weaklings facing six killers? He didn't understand where Liu Yue's belief came from.
Liu Yue walked out from behind Fang Yuan, "Don't hide a few, I don't think you can kill me." ”
The black-clothed man in the lead frowned, sneered, and there was a bit of contempt in his bloodthirsty eyes, and a few of their professional killers couldn't kill a girl and a white-faced scholar? "You'd better hit the road."
"I advise you to think about it, and don't let your brothers die with you." Liu Yue was sarcastic.
"No more nonsense!"
The man in black raised his sword and stabbed at her.
Be careful, Fang Yuan didn't have time to shout, and his men pushed her, hoping to avoid the sword.
Before his hand touched Liu Yue's body, a person jumped up behind Liu Yue, and the long sword swept away, blocking the sword.
Fang Yuan was so shocked that her heart was about to jump out, looking at Liu Yue who didn't move a step from beginning to end with a sad smile, she coldly watched the people who jumped in to unilaterally slaughter the killers.
"Are you alright?" Fang Yuan asked worriedly.
"It's okay, thank you just now." Liu Yue smiled back, her eyes didn't seem to look at the coldness of the killers, she was a little warmer, she was sincerely grateful for what Fang Yuan had just done.
Fang Yuan shook his head and raised his hand slightly, "No need, you're fine." ”
Hearing that, Liu Yue bowed slightly, she was fine, and there was nothing at all, but the person who wanted her life would definitely pay a terrible price for it.
