Chapter 33 Robbery and Murder

"Should we take action? She's alone and close to the riverbank. This is a good opportunity to attack her."

Chen Er squatted on a big rock, holding a piece of straw in his mouth, looking at Cheng Wei Yao with an extremely fierce look.

The wrist that was broken by Wen Chengyun last time still hurts a little, all thanks to this woman. Today, the time, place and people are all right, and the old accounts must be settled once and for all.

"You can do it, but do it cleanly and quickly, and don't let anyone get hold of anything. Where's Wen Chengyun?"

Wang Gang glanced at Cheng Weiyao who was squatting alone by the river washing vegetables, and subconsciously looked for Wen Chengyun.

Who was Wen Chengyun? He was a wolf in sheep's clothing, ready to strike a fatal blow at any moment. Without knowing Wen Chengyun's whereabouts, he felt uneasy.

"Don't worry, big brother. I'm not stupid. Since we've decided to take action, I've definitely sent Wen Chengyun to the front to deal with the work. There aren't many people near the river, so it's convenient for us to act."

The person who spoke was Li Kui. Like Chen Er, he was one of the yamen runners who was responsible for escorting the women across the river last time. He had no time to care about women during his exile, and the chance he had to make some money from the women was ruined.

"Boss, don't worry too much. Cheng Weiyao isn't a martial artist. She's just an ordinary person, a weak woman. We're all surrounding her. Are you afraid she won't be able to resist?"

After Chen Er finished speaking, he jumped off the big rock into the river, pulled out the knife from the scabbard and wiped it gently, then looked at Cheng Weiyao's back and smiled.

Wang Gang felt relieved temporarily after hearing the two men's affirmative tone. These two men had the deepest grudge against the Qinghe Palace among his brothers, and their desire for revenge was comparable to his own.

Thinking about it carefully, I was too sensitive. Cheng Weiyao was alone by the river and out of sight. Could it be that Wen Chengyun could sense that she was in trouble?

"I'll be the lookout. If Wen Chengyun comes, I'll handle it. You guys go kill her!"

Wang Gang nodded, but out of caution he chose to do the lookout work with a way out. He didn't want to reveal his malicious intentions towards Wen Chengyun before he had tortured enough people in the Qingping Palace.

Chen Er and Li Kui nodded, stopped talking, and just walked towards Cheng Weiyao.

Chen Er walked quietly behind Cheng Wei Yao with a knife in hand, while Li Kui planned to kick Cheng Wei Yao in the waist.

Cheng Wei Yao instinctively realized that someone was attacking her, and subconsciously turned around to avoid it. In the blink of an eye, Chen Er's knife had missed.

Chen Er and Wang Gang were both stunned. They didn't know why Cheng Weiyao suddenly turned around.

The two men looked at each other with strong vigilance and suspicion in their eyes. They quickly separated and surrounded the other party from both sides.

"Two officers, you're breaking the law knowingly? You took advantage of me being alone to attack me. Have you forgotten how Wen Chengyun dealt with you at the beginning of our exile?"

Cheng Weiyao looked at the two of them and scolded them coldly, but she was actually a little anxious inside.

If I were to fight one of them with my bare hands, I could probably handle them, but with two of them, and they were armed with knives, my chances of winning were slim...

"Don't try to scare me with those nonsense! Without that killer Wen Chengyun, even the gods can't save you!"

Li Kui shouted in a deep voice, with a hint of anger and resentment in his eyes.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get started!"

Chen Er adjusted the position of the long knife in his hand, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, and as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to chop towards Cheng Weiyao.

Cheng Weiyao felt something was wrong in her heart, but the knife came so fast that she barely dodged it. The knife cut her clothes at the waist, revealing a small piece of fair skin.

"Tsk, Chen Er has to be you, this is fun..."

A playful smile appeared on Li Kui's face. There was still hope of recovering the oil and water. If he could capture him alive, it would be even better to throw him into the river and put an end to it all...

"you!"

Cheng Weiyao stared at the two men with gritted teeth. She had never expected that these officials were so vicious and dared to kill her.

"I told you to die. No one can save you. Today I'll let you know what happens if you offend us two brothers!"

Chen Er sneered. He didn't believe that at such a short distance, where could Cheng Weiyao hide? If she jumped into the river, it would be a slip or an intentional escape, and there would be many charges against her.

On the left was Chen Er's long knife, and on the right was Li Kui's dirty hands. Cheng Wei Yao took a step back and felt the river water flooding into her shoes.

She really had nowhere to retreat. The shining long sword was coming towards her. At this critical moment, suddenly a white shadow appeared in front of Cheng Wei Yao as fast as lightning, and the long sword hit the left shoulder of the white shadow.

Cheng Weiyao blinked blankly and saw the strong strength in Wen Chengyun's calm eyes.

Blood was gushing from his left shoulder. He turned around and flicked the long knife from his shoulder. The long knife flew past Cheng Weiyao and fell into the water with a muffled sound.

"Wen Chengyun, how are you?"

Cheng Weiyao hurried forward to support Wen Chengyun, took out a handkerchief and tried to press on the wound to stop the bleeding, but Wen Chengyun shook his head slightly.

"I'm fine, just stand back so I don't hurt you."

Cheng Weiyao saw the cold curve on the corner of Wen Chengyun's mouth. She had never seen Wen Chengyun like this before. He was gloomy, straightforward, and ruthless.

Li Kui was stunned when he saw Wen Chengyun suddenly appearing. "Wen Chengyun, what are you doing..."

He had clearly seen Wen Chengyun leave just now. Why did he suddenly appear and save this woman?

Wang Gang, who was on the lookout, also missed a beat. It was obviously inappropriate to go over now, so he decided to wait and see.

"What kind of man is it to bully a woman behind her back? I'll give you a chance. Beat me, and don't talk nonsense."

Wen Chengyun's tone was cold and emotionless, completely lacking his usual gentle and warm demeanor.

"Yes, it's my fault. We were impulsive. Please forgive us... I promise I won't do it again!"

Chen Er was so scared that he fell to his knees on the ground with a thud. He crawled towards Wen Chengyun while talking, and it was obvious that he wanted to curry favor with him.

"Chen Er, get up! Don't be cowardly. Let's just fight. If one comes, we'll beat him up. If two come, we'll kill them. Kill them both!"

Li Kui frowned and drew his knife from its sheath. He had originally thought that killing Cheng Weiyao wouldn't require any knife work, but now it seemed he had no choice but to act seriously...

Cheng Wei Yao looked at Chen Er, who was crying and kowtowing on the ground, and felt that something was wrong. This man begged for mercy too quickly, which was inconsistent with his previous personality.

She was just about to remind Wen Chengyun to be careful, when she suddenly saw a cold light flash in Chen Er's eyes...
