Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 107 You are destined to die here today
I reached out and pushed open the door, and it was bright outside.
Zhao Shen had been in the secret room for a long time and felt quite uncomfortable, so he raised his hand to block the glaring light.
Then he saw a man standing at the door.
Zhao Shen said calmly, "Lu Yanlin?"
The tone was questioning, yet inexplicably firm.
Lu Yanlin had been here for some time. He was a martial artist with sharp ears and eyes, and he heard everything the people inside said clearly.
His face was as pale as if he had been seriously ill. When he looked at Zhao Shen, he revealed some resentment that he had not yet restrained: "You walked out on your own, it seems that you are ready to die."
Zhao Shen's eyes swept around the courtyard wall. "A killer from Yama's Palace? Your master really thinks highly of me."
"Who would dare to take a master like you lightly?"
Seeing that he looked calm and not surprised at all, Lu Yanlin suddenly felt uneasy.
Whenever he thought of how this man escaped from the siege of dozens of masters single-handedly that day, he felt a chill.
Fortunately, he was well prepared today.
Zhao Shen nodded: "Then let's do it."
For him, there was no point in dragging it out.
The incident happened suddenly that day, and he was rescued by Mrs. Zhou and has been trapped in that secret room ever since.
Zhou Qingbang was not a fool. Although he had not searched his own mansion these days, the Zhou Mansion was so airtight that even Mrs. Zhou had no way of passing the message out.
Of course, Zhao Shen knew that the relationship between the couple was not good, so he did not let Mrs. Zhou take that risk.
So, no one knew he was here, and no one would come to rescue him.
Zhao Shen decisively attacked Lu Yanlin.
Although Lu Yanlin had been taking advantage of Zhou Qingbang from the very beginning, after more than ten years of getting along, it was hard to say that he had no feelings for Zhou Qingbang at all.
He didn't go in and see the Zhou couple die with his own eyes, but he felt very uncomfortable at the moment.
Almost at the moment Zhao Shen made his move, he also swung the dagger in his hand.
But in the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged moves.
The yard was surrounded by Lu Yanlin's men, but without his orders, those people watched the fight motionlessly.
Zhao Shen was still seriously injured and was already struggling, so his moves were particularly fierce.
A moment later, he risked being stabbed and slapped Lu Yanlin.
Lu Yanlin took a few steps back and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips: “It’s really powerful, but you are destined to die here today.”
He waved his hand, and the people surrounding the yard immediately rushed in and pounced on Zhao Shen.
At this time, in a remote courtyard of the Zhou Mansion, Bai Ling looked towards the main courtyard and said, "It seems like a fight has started."
Ji Yunshu also looked over there. It was broad daylight, but the mansion was unusually quiet. The place where she lived was far away from the main courtyard, but she could still faintly hear the sounds of fighting over there.
"Something's not right. I'll go check it out first. Send a signal and have Gu Xing bring people here as soon as possible."
Ji Yunshu said this and ran out quickly.
She had a very bad feeling, as if she would lose something if she slowed down a step.
Lu Yanlin placed everyone in the main courtyard, so that Ji Yunshu didn't meet anyone on the way.
The closer they got to the main courtyard, the louder the sounds of fighting became, and she could even smell the scent of blood in the air.
Could it be Zhao Shen?
Ji Yunshu felt her heart beating rapidly. When she finally stepped through the gate, she saw a scene that shocked her.
There were more than a dozen corpses lying in the yard, and more than a dozen people were besieging a man.
The man was dressed in black, and it was impossible to tell how many injuries he had suffered. There was no expression on his face, but his eyes were cold and bloodthirsty. Even though his steps were unsteady, his moves were still ruthless as he raised his hand and swung his sword, without the slightest delay.
This is a life-threatening way of fighting.
If he hadn't seen that handsome face, Ji Yunshu would not have believed that the person in front of him was Zhao Shen.
The gentleman who always sits in a wheelchair and is gentle and elegant.
The prince of the marquisate who always reads under a tree in a moon-white robe and smiles gently at her.
It was completely different from the man in front of him who seemed to want to drag everyone down to hell with him.
But watching this scene, Ji Yunshu felt as if his heart was beating out of control in his chest.
Seeing that Zhao Shen was about to collapse, she picked up a knife from the ground and rushed into the chaotic crowd, slashing at a person who had attacked Zhao Shen.
In his past and present lives, this was the first time Ji Yunshu faced such a scene, and he felt a sense of unreality in his heart.
Warm blood splashed on her face, and she immediately woke up. She protected Zhao Shen behind her, tightly gripped the knife in her hand, and faced the enemy calmly.
Since coming here, the continuous martial arts training has finally come in handy.
But these people are killers from the King of Hell's Palace, and they are more skilled in killing people than she is.
So Ji Yunshu didn't plan to fight hard.
While swinging her knife, she threw a new invention that Yichen had given her before they set out in the direction where several killers were gathering.
Then he pulled Zhao Shen back quickly.
There was a loud bang, as if a thunder had exploded in the yard, and four or five people were blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yanlin stood aside and was not affected. When he saw Ji Yunshu clearly, he sneered and said, "You really came to find him."
Ji Yunshu embraced the shaky Zhao Shen. Seeing that the assassins were just surrounding him from a distance and didn't dare to move forward, he looked at Lu Yanlin and said, "What else? Should I come to find you?"
Lu Yanlin: "...Now the entire Xingqing Prefecture is in my hands. You can't escape with him. Just surrender and I can consider sparing your life."
Ji Yunshu waved the black ball in his hand at him. "If I can't escape, I can choose to die with you. Since I dared to come here, I'm not afraid of death. What about you? Are you ready to die?"
Lu Yanlin's eyelids twitched. He had just realized how powerful the thing in her hand was, so of course he would not put himself in danger.
The two sides were in a stalemate.
At this time, Bai Ling rushed in from outside, and the killer blocking the door was caught off guard and was killed by her.
Her Qinggong skills were quite good. She dodged in front of Ji Yunshu while fighting and nodded at her.
Ji Yunshu knew that the signal had been sent and reinforcements would arrive soon, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at Zhao Shen, who had fainted from exhaustion, and said to Bai Ling, "Stop the bleeding and heal his wounds first."
Bai Ling knows medicine and has medicine on her. With her around, Zhao Shen will definitely be fine.
Seeing these two people rescuing people as if no one was around and seemed to not care about the danger they were in, Lu Yanlin had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, after a while, the people guarding outside came to report that someone had broken in.
Lu Yanlin didn't hesitate any longer and rushed towards Ji Yunshu without hesitation.
Ji Yunshu knew that he was no match for him and was about to throw the thing in his hand away when suddenly a person flashed in.
It's a solitary walk.
He finally arrived in time with his men.
After just a short fight, Lu Yanlin was defeated.
The remaining killers all committed suicide before being captured.
Only Lu Yanlin had his arm removed and thrown to the ground.
He was obviously of a special status. After a brief exchange, he recognized Gu Xing's identity: "Royal Secret Guard?"
Gu Xing ignored him and walked over to Ji Yunshu and said respectfully, "Last night, a group of people of unknown origin entered Xingqing Mansion and delivered a letter to the prefect, Lord Zhou. I'm afraid they are their accomplices. We must leave here as soon as possible."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "There are others? These people are so arrogant, they don't even take your master seriously."
All under heaven belongs to the king, but these people do not take His Majesty the Emperor seriously at all.
