Chapter 1113 Fang Jinxiu had a bad premonition in her heart
Chunlan, “Why don’t you have dinner with us at my house”"It was our oversight, we forgot you had just moved in and there wasn't any food left in the house."The village head continued, “Don’t worry, th...Chapter 1113: Fang Jinxiu had a bad premonition.
She and Mugwort were at the back door of YuankeLai, thinking they had been careful enough, but unexpectedly, they were still being followed.
If it weren't for Fang Jinshu's extraordinary hearing, she would have been exposed when she disguised herself to cause a disturbance at the winehouse.
The man noticed Fang Jinshu had spotted him and immediately turned to run. Fang Jinshu and Mu Jin chased after him desperately.
"Hibiscus, we absolutely can't let him get away!"
"It's the mistress!"
Fāng Jǐnxiù chased the man into an alley. There were fewer people here, and she realized something was wrong. She immediately shouted to Mǔjǐn.
"He lured us here on purpose, Muguet, retreat quickly!"
It's too late.
Fang Jinshu just finished shouting when a group of black-clad men emerged from nowhere and surrounded her.
"If there is a way to heaven, you won't take it."
"Up, kill them!"
She drew her crossbow and shot the men in black who approached them, but two fists couldn't overcome four hands. Mujin wasn't skilled in martial arts either. Relying solely on her single crossbow wouldn't be enough to deal with so many men in black.
The roads both in front and behind were blocked, making it very difficult to escape.
Hibiscus clutched her forehead tightly.
"Madam, it must have been Jiang Chuang who betrayed you."
"I am not afraid of death, I will hold them back, you find a chance to escape!"
Fang Jinxiu pressed down on Muken's hand, the masked man, seeing the power of the concealed crossbow, still hesitated and did not immediately charge forward again.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about Our Fang Jinxiu is not the kind of master who would have others give their lives for her!"
"If I live, you live. If I die, I can't protect you anymore, and you'll only be able to die with me."
"Are you afraid"
Mu Jin only felt that Fang Jinxiu was truly the best master in the world, even at this time she still thought of protecting herself.
"My Lady, I am but a lowly servant. I truly fear not death."
"Madam, you are different. If anything happened to you, the Lord and the old Madam would be heartbroken."
Fang Jinxiu pulled Mulan back behind her, this silly girl was so slow.
"Life is precious, you can rest assured, none of us will die!"
Kyoto Castle was the emperor's domain, and patrols within its walls had been increased in frequency and personnel due to the approaching Four Nations Trade Conference.
These men in black were bold enough to attack her in the middle of the city. If they truly had no scruples, they wouldn't have deliberately led her to this secluded alley.
As long as she made enough noise to attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers, their lives would be saved.
Fang Jinxiu's plan was indeed feasible, but she overlooked whether she could support the time for soldiers to go on patrol.
And this time was different from the last time at Hou Mansion. The place was too small, and she had an incompetent Mu Jin by her side. As Fang Jinshu's arrows in her sleeves dwindled, their situation became increasingly perilous.
Mu Jin raised her eyes and immediately saw a long sword coming towards Fang Jinyu's back from behind. She instinctively exclaimed in surprise.
"Madam, be careful!"
She wanted to rush forward and block the sword for Fang Jinshu herself, but she was too late. She could only watch helplessly as the blade was about to pierce her mistress's body.
Fang Jinxiu also thought she should have won some color this time, it was all her carelessness.
The expected pain didn't come. The enemies around them were knocked over all at once, and a warm chest pressed against her back.
Fang Jinshi smelled the familiar scent, it was A Yu!
She looked up in surprise.
"How do you know I'm here"
A hint of displeasure crossed Zong Yu's brow.
Let's talk when we get home.
He hugged Fang Jinxiu tightly in his arms, protecting her. Mujin hurried over, rolling and crawling to get there, she sized her up and down, her voice filled with anxious concern.
"Madam, are you alright Did you get hurt anywhere"
Fang Jinshu shook her head. The moment Zong Yu appeared, she felt much calmer. That's what security feels like, isn't it
Zhao Yun charged into the crowd of black-clad men. These men were no match for him, so Zong Yu stood aside protecting Lady Fang Jinxiu and her servants.
Occasionally, a few stragglers come over to attack, but he sends them flying with a single palm strike.
In a moment, these men were driven back. Zong Yu shouted to capture the living, Zhao Yun left one alive in his hand, and he didn't bother with the others who ran away.
He dislocated the man's arm and pressed him before Zongyu.
"My lord, these people's martial arts are similar to those who attacked us at the Marquis' mansion last time."
Zong Yu narrowed his eyes, crouching down and pinching the man's chin.
"Who sent you here"
The man in black had poison hidden in his mouth, but when Zong Yu held him like this, he couldn't bite the poison and commit suicide. These fearless desperados had a wild, beastly cruelty in their eyes.
Zhao Yun's sword was still unsheathed, and the assassin suddenly lunged towards the tip of his blade. With a muffled "puff," the sharp point of the sword pierced through the black-clad man's body.
The death was particularly decisive and absolute.
This firmness also startled Fang Jinshu.
Is this a suicide squad A mission failure means death, so decisive.
"My lord, please forgive me. It was my subordinate's negligence."
Zhuge Yun was extremely annoyed. He should have broken this man's hands and feet, what a blunder! What a mistake!
Zongyu stood up.
"Smooth sailing."
Even without saying it, he knew who these people were.
Fang Jinshi was also well aware of this.
Zong Yu remained silent, turning to walk towards the carriage at the mouth of the alley.
Fāng Jǐnxiù's scalp tingled a bit, yù rarely ignored her like this. He must be angry, definitely.
She turned to Mujin and instructed her.
"Just tell Wu Ma and the others to resume normal business operations. Don't worry about what's happening across the street."
"We don't need to lower the prices yet. Let's observe for a while and then decide."
Zhao Yun stepped forward, "Madam, I will send Miss Mujin back to the Marquis' Mansion. You should hurry and get in the carriage."
The Lord is waiting.
The Lord is angry, isn't he
Fang Jinxiu boarded the car, and as soon as she came in, she saw Ah Yu with a stern face. It was indeed a bit cold here.
But she wasn't afraid, she sat beside him and watched him.
"I know I was wrong. Next time I go out, I will definitely bring more people."
Zongyu, expressionless, even slightly turned his head away.
Fang Jinshi saw this and her body leaned against him again. After all, they were an old couple, so she knew how to handle matters of reputation.
She hugged Zongyu's arm, anyway there were only the two of them in the carriage now, doing something shameful wouldn't be known by anyone, she just went for it!
"Ah Yu, my husband~"
Fang Jinxiu had never imagined that such a sickeningly sweet voice would come out of her mouth. Even she herself felt goosebumps when she heard it.
His hands, which were holding onto Zongyu's arm, also gently shook twice.
She endured the shyness and continued to act coquettishly. After taking the first step, she found that the following steps felt increasingly smooth.
"Goodness me, I truly didn't expect this. Even after changing my appearance, they still recognized me. I swear, from tomorrow onwards, whenever I go out, I will definitely bring Zhao Xingzhou and the others with me."
"Really."
Under the relentless onslaught of her sweet and cloying coquettish advances, Zong Yu's cold face couldn't hold for long. But this time, he was indeed a little scared.
If he hadn't passed by here and noticed the change, the sword would have pierced Jinxiu's back just now.
The thought made his brow furrow even deeper with anger. This time, he absolutely couldn't let Jinxiu get away with just brushing it off; he had to punish her, give her a lesson she wouldn't forget!
Zong Yu's expression changed, his gaze suddenly turning back to her. Facing his sudden stare, Fang Jinshu had a bad feeling in her heart.people eating at home. It was still early, and he had originally planned to go hunting for some fresh meat to cook later in the evening.This time, my luck was incredibly good. I stumbled upon a whole...
