Chapter 444 Seeking

Death What’s the news from Zhuangzi? The

people living in Zhuangzi are He Yande and his wife Fang.

He Yande's legs were broken and he had become a cripple. He could only lie in bed or sit in a wheelchair all day long. Fang had already gone insane and had to rely on the servants to feed and take care of her all day long, barely keeping her alive.

"What news?" He Yanxiu's expression became a little gloomy.

"They said the eldest young master's wife is missing and they are looking for her everywhere." The servant answered cautiously, "They also said the eldest young master started drinking in the morning and drank all day. He later passed out and had incontinence. A doctor has been called in to see her and he said she may not be well again."

"The eldest young master cursed for a long time, and asked his servants to come back and tell you that you must come over no matter what. He also said that if you don't go, you will take these words to the grave..."

He Yanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

After thinking for a moment, Chong Xing'an said, "Tell someone to prepare the horses."

"Second Master, are you really going?" Xing'an was a little uneasy.

He Yande had been quiet for a long time and hadn't done anything weird, but today he suddenly tried every means to get Second Master to come over...

The Queen is now imprisoned in the palace, and the First Prince was punished to be put in solitary confinement because he pleaded for the Queen. All the officials in the court believe that the Emperor will make the Third Prince the Crown Prince in the near future.

At such a critical juncture, He Yande is trying to find something to do, which makes people think more.

Xing'an knew that although his master was swift and resolute and decisive, he was somewhat protective when it came to family matters.

It's obvious that we'll suffer a loss if we go this way! "It's okay." He Yanxiu waved his hand nonchalantly.

Some people must be met.

Some things have to come to an end.

Moreover, facing this situation now, His Highness is bound to make some counterattacks. He Yande is His Highness's minion, and his behavior will also foreshadow His Highness's next move.

He had to go on this trip.

Seeing that He Yanxiu insisted, Xing'an stopped trying to dissuade him. He just prepared horses, called Shi Ding and Du Song to accompany him, and went to the farm together.

The farm is located in the suburbs of Beijing.

But it was not in the same place as the farm sold to Su Yujin before, but in the opposite direction. It took an hour and a half to ride there from the He family in the capital.

As night falls, several horses gallop on the official road under the starry sky.

On a midsummer night, the road doesn't feel hot at all because of the vast fields and occasional woods on both sides. Instead, it feels a bit more refreshing and cool.

The moon gradually rose, illuminating the entire earth as if it were daytime.

It was also because of this bright moonlight that He Yanxiu noticed the cold light of a sharp arrow whistling towards him. He bent down on the horse's back and reached out to grasp the tail of the arrow.

He Yanxiu frowned, his eyes were sharp, he broke the arrow with force and threw it on the ground.

The horse's galloping speed did not slow down at all, but Dusong and Shi Ding were extremely alert, especially Dusong. He raised his arm, supported by the horse's neck, and grasped the pull ring in his hand towards the place where the rustling sound came from.

When the time was right, Juniper pulled the ring, and two extremely delicate sleeve arrows immediately flew out of his sleeve and pierced straight into the dense jungle next to him.

Almost instantly, a figure groaned and fell from the tree like a sack, and there was no more movement.

But a moment later, another sharp arrow flew over.

This time it's directed at Juniper.

"Looking for death!" Du Song narrowed his eyes and fired the arrow on his arm again.

With two "whoosh" sounds, a black shadow fell down again.

As the black shadow fell this time, the sound of horse hooves appeared behind them. There were horses galloping towards them, obviously chasing them.

He Yanxiu pulled the reins slightly to slow down the horse.

The horses chasing behind quickly caught up, and the steel knives in their hands exuded a sinister chill as they chopped straight towards He Yanxiu and the others.

He Yanxiu unsheathed his sword, drew a sword flower in the air with two "swish" strokes, and cut the throat of the first black-clothed man who pounced on him.

The man covered his neck and fell off the horse in disbelief. The horse was frightened and ran to the side.

Seeing this, the men in black behind them rushed towards He Yanxiu and others even more ferociously.

The big knife in his hand chopped at them heavily.

This time, He Yanxiu didn't need to take action. Du Song and Shi Ding easily took care of all the men in black.

The bodies were lying all over the ground, the horses had fled in all directions out of fear, and blood was all over the ground.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Master, would you like me to go and check it out?"

See if there are any clues about their identities on these people, and whether we can determine who sent them.

"No need." He Yanxiu said, "At this time, there is probably no one else who can ambush on the road."

There are only Qin Peiyuan and He Yande left.

"Yes." Du Song agreed and glanced at Shi Ding.

Shi Ding also nodded and tightened his grip on the reins.

There are bound to be many things happening tonight, and I have to be fully alert to deal with them.

The four horses continued on their journey, and as the moon rose higher, the He family's mansion was now brightly lit.

Old Madam He sat at the table, looking alert and not at all sleepy, her fingers constantly moving the long string of rosary beads.

"Mother, it's getting late. Go to bed early." Lu advised, "Mother has to go to the palace to visit Concubine Shu and the little princess tomorrow. If you go to bed late, you may not be in good spirits tomorrow. If Concubine Shu sees you, she will be worried."

"Yan Xiu has gone to the farm, and I am worried." Old Madam He sighed, "This child left without saying a word, and I didn't know whether to ask him or not. I'd better send a few people to follow him, so that I can feel more at ease."

"The people around Yan Xiu are all safe and have excellent skills, so I think nothing will happen." Mrs. Lu paused and said, "And my daughter-in-law thinks that Yan Xiu must learn how to deal with these things."

"That's what happened." Madam He stood up, and then seemed to think of something, "Where's Chengye? Is he asleep?"

"No, the servants just came back and said they were still looking at the blueprints." Mrs. Lu replied, "Looking at the situation, I guess they won't be able to rest tonight. My daughter-in-law will go and take a look later and bring some midnight snacks, so mother can rest assured."

"Yes." Madam He nodded. "Chengye has been at home for so many years because of the previous incident. Now, the emperor is not disgusted and has entrusted him with the task of supervising the construction of the new Imperial College. He really needs to do his best to live up to the emperor's trust."

"Mother is right." Lu agreed. "Chengye has been reinstated and is taking on the position of Minister of Works again. He has made up his mind."
