Chapter 21: Tragic Destruction
The man's attitude aroused Shen Yunyou's suspicions, and Zheng Yunqi unceremoniously stopped the man.
Zheng Yunqi looked at the dozen or so men in front of him sharply, whether they were Ye Zixuan's people or not, he knew very well. What is the reason for coming to Shen Yunyou? Could it be that Shen Yunyou has offended someone?
When the man saw Zheng Yunqi obstructing him, he called the others to join him and surrounded Shen Yunyou and the three of them in the middle, wanting to arrest Shen Yunyou strongly. Zheng Yunqi hid Shen Yunyou and Xiu'er behind her, and her body moved quickly to deal with these people.
"Miss, Miss." Xiu'er stood beside Shen Yunyou, and her voice trembled. "Don't be afraid, there is Xiu'er to protect you!"
Shen Yun glanced at Xiu'er with a smile in his eyes, but did not make a sound. Looking straight at Zheng Yunqi, Shen Yunyou sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being a person under the shadow, and his skills were really unusual. And just when Zheng Yunqi had a complete advantage and those people were about to be wiped out, one of the men took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and sprinkled it on Zheng Yunqi.
Shen Yunyou looked at the light blue powder that was floating in the wind, his eyes trembled, and he hurriedly shouted: "Yunqi! Close your eyes! Then he pulled Xiu'er and quickly took a few steps back.
Although Zheng Yunqi heard Shen Yunyou's warning, she still didn't close her eyes in time. Soon, her vision gradually became a little blurry.
Shen Yunyou frowned when he saw Zheng Yunqi's appearance. Although Zheng Yunqi is still able to deal with the enemy in an invisible situation, it is obvious that he cannot take care of himself and Xiu'er in all aspects as before. In desperation, Shen Yunyou had to be ready to take out a dagger at all times to keep himself and Xiu'er safe.
"Miss be careful!" Xiu'er suddenly shouted, and then before Shen Yunyou could react, she slammed into Shen Yunyou's back and hugged Shen Yunyou's waist tightly.
Feeling that Xiu'er's body hugging him suddenly paused, Shen Yunyou reflexively turned around, quickly hugged Xiu'er into his arms, and raised his arm to block the sharp second sword for Xiu'er.
Shen Yunyou let go of Xiu'er, took out the dagger from his arms with his left hand, and stabbed at the enemy. The man with the long sword in his hand fell to the ground the moment he was stabbed by Shen Yunyou. Glancing at the second enemy who rushed towards Xiu'er, Shen Yunyou didn't care about anything else, and rushed over quickly at the moment when the blade stabbed at Xiu'er, holding the blade with his hand, stopping the man's movements. Then with the dagger in his hand, he accurately slashed the man's throat.
"Ahh Miss, you're bleeding!!" Xiu'er shouted weakly when she saw the blood that kept flowing out of Shen Yunyou's injury.
Xiu'er's helpless crying made Shen Yunyou feel a little irritable. And just as they were struggling to deal with the enemy, a person who shouldn't have appeared at all broke into Shen Yunyou's sight.
Situ Rui, who was inadvertently passing by here, took a curious look after hearing the sound of swords colliding. Unexpectedly, I saw the figures of Shen Yunyou and several people.
Situ Rui rushed over with a cold expression, and after helping Zheng Yunqi clean up the rest of the people, he turned his head to look at Shen Yunyou, who was covered in injuries. His gaze fell on Shen Yunyou's still bleeding hand, Situ Rui walked in front of her with a frown, staring coldly into Shen Yunyou's eyes.
"Lord Wang." Shen Yunyou looked at Situ Rui's unhappy face and smiled awkwardly. "Thank you for the rescue."
"You can still laugh?" Shen Yunyou's smiling face made Situ Rui feel extremely dazzling, and after taking a deep breath, Situ Rui leaned over without warning and picked up Shen Yunyou. Then when Shen Yunyou was struggling to leave by himself, he threatened in a low voice: "If you don't want to die, be honest with me!" ”
Carrying Shen Yunyou back to King Rui's mansion, Situ Rui sat on the chair with a cold air, watching intently as the doctor treated Shen Yunyou's wounds. Seeing Shen Yunyou's grinning appearance in pain when he took the medicine, Situ Rui suddenly became angry.
"It's not good for you to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion as a woman, why do you run out all day long?!" Situ Rui asked Shen Yunyou loudly. "Where did you provoke those people?"
"I'm going out to inspect the store, my father handed over the affairs of the store to me, how can I not do things......" Shen Yunyou replied to Situ Rui without confidence, and then his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally it was so small that Situ Rui could barely hear it. I don't know who those people are, who said they wanted to find me in the name of the imperial court, but they couldn't get the token handbook. In the end, they just tried to kill me, and I don't know how to offend them. ”
Will Shen Zhiyuan hand over the Shen family's business to Shen Yunyou to take care of?
Situ Rui's eyes flashed, and he looked at Shen Yunyou hesitantly. Shen Zhiyuan's old fox is shrewd, how could he pick Shen Yunyou, a fool? Could it be that Shen Yunyou still has advantages that he hasn't discovered?
"Who is that woman who knows martial arts?" Situ Rui came back to his senses and continued to ask.
"That's the person my father specially invited from the dart bureau to protect my safety, since the last time I was arrested by Liu Yuheng, my father has been worried about my safety. So when I go out, I always carry a self-defense weapon with me. Shen Yunyou cleverly found a reason for carrying a dagger. is also a little glad that Situ Rui and Zheng Yunqi did not leave those people alive. In this way, even if he killed those two people with poison, no one would find out.
"Liu Yuheng......" Situ Rui muttered the name, and after the doctor examined and treated Shen Yunyou's wounds, he said to Shen Yunyou, "I'll send you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
Shen Yunyou, escorted by Situ Rui, returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion safely. Seeing Xiu'er and Zheng Yunqi, who had already returned, Shen Yunyou's heart that had been hanging on him also landed steadily.
Situ Rui stood in Shen Yunyou's room, looking at the furnishings in her room with a disgusted expression. Then he glanced at Shen Yunyou, who was lying on the bed and didn't dare to say a word, and said, "I have already sent someone to bring you the medicine prescribed by the doctor, so lie down and rest." ”
"I haven't finished drinking the medicine I prescribed for my last injury......" Shen Yunyou immediately changed his expression when he thought of drinking Chinese medicine three times a day.
After hearing her words, Situ Rui sneered and said sarcastically: "It seems that you are quite prepared." ”
After taunting Shen Yunyou, Situ Rui left the Prime Minister's Mansion. Shen Yunyou was lying on the bed, looking at the cold room, and couldn't help but start to think back to what had just happened.
Who wanted her life? Those people's skills are not bad, they will not be ruffians and hooligans, but they have practiced martial arts. Who would be so aggressive as to want to kill themselves? Did she unknowingly offend someone?
With his eyes closed, Shen Yunyou quickly thought about what he had done recently and who might have offended. Suddenly, Shen Yunyou opened his eyes suddenly, remembering that Liu Yuheng was killed.
Zheng Yunqi once said that Liu Yuheng is the only seedling of the Liu family. The whole family is very spoiled, could it be that the Liu family hates themselves, so they send someone to kill themselves and let them go down to bury Liu Yuheng?
Shen Yunyou was in pain all over his body and couldn't sleep peacefully. Fortunately, Meng Yuqing came to accompany her for a few hours, which made Shen Yunyou feel not so boring. And after it was dark and Meng Yuqing had left, Shen Yunyou slowly sat up from the bed.
Walking slowly to Xiu'er's room, Shen Yunyou looked at Xiu'er, who was lying on the bed and had fallen asleep, with a pale face, and smiled with relief. This girl is usually cowardly, and it's hard for her to block that sword for herself today.
Leaving Xiu'er's residence, Shen Yunyou wanted to take a look at Zheng Yunqi, but he never found Zheng Yunqi. Called away by the Shadows? Shen Yunyou stood in the silent and uninhabited courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky, constantly guessing. After pondering for a while, he honestly went back to his room to rest and recuperate.
In the dimly lit room, Zheng Yunqi knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said to the man sitting in the soft collapse: "Yunqi is not doing well, please punish the master." ”
"It's good to know." The man played with the mask in his hand and looked at Zheng Yunqi coldly. "You've been with me for so many years, and you should know very well what happens to losers. I don't need someone who doesn't do a good job, and the next time you miss it, you don't have to come to see me, just cut it yourself. ”
"Subordinates obey!" Zheng Yunqi looked at the man's words carefully, and then continued: "I have already investigated, and those people were indeed sent by the Liu family. The bodies were also examined, but two of them showed signs of poisoning. ”
"Poisoned?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What did Situ Rui do?" ”
"It's not like he just helped me kill those people, and he didn't use a secret weapon. It was Shen Yunyou, who killed two people with a dagger. ”
The moment the man heard Shen Yunyou, a gleam flashed across his eyes. Waving his hand at Zheng Yunqi, who was kneeling on the ground, the man opened his mouth and whispered, "You go back first." ”
"What about the Liu family?"
"I'll take care of it."
Zheng Yunqi stood up and walked out of the room without saying a word, looking back at the room with candlelight, Zheng Yunqi sighed heavily. That's what he said. It's been a long time since he's made a move, and this is this time......
The sun was on the sun, but Shen Yunyou didn't bother to get up from the bed. Looking at the roof with her eyes open, if it weren't for Situ Liuyun stumbling into her room, Shen Yunyou felt that she would definitely lie down until noon and get up again.
"Yun You, Yun You's big deal!" Situ Liuyun ran to the side of the bed, looked at Shen Yunyou on the bed breathlessly, and said the news that shocked Shen Yunyou. "The Liu family was wiped out last night, and none of the hundreds of people survived!"
"What?!" Shen Yunyou was stunned and sat up quickly. But she forgot that her hand was still hurting, and accidentally touched the wound, and she could only wail silently in pain. "Princess, where did you get this news?"
