Chapter 1 Chapter 1 "You are a guest, why run?" ...

It was dusk, the sky was fading, and the small county town was dead silent.

The houses on both sides of the long street were overgrown with weeds, and the dilapidated scene was unworthy of the beautiful spring in March.

On the long street paved with bluestone, dust was flying and landing on a girl in dark blue clothes standing beside him.

She stopped in front of a house and knocked on the door.

"Sister Yun?" The shabby wooden door opened from the inside, and the person who opened it was a child about eight years old.

When the child saw that it was an acquaintance, he quickly pulled the person into the house, as if there was some ferocious beast outside.

The old man in the room was covered in blood. He was the person who was going to meet with the Yun family this time.

"Why didn't your brother come?"

The girl who came in was as soft and gentle as the spring mountains outside the city, picturesque. Jiang Daiyi's eyes moved slightly, and her voice was as soft as spring flowers caressing her face.

"My brother is injured."

The old man became a little nervous when he heard this.

"Why are you injured? Is it serious?"

"Of course it's serious, otherwise how would I have the chance to see you?"

Another man's voice was heard and a man climbed in through the window.

His movements blew the dust from outside the window in, causing it to fly and stir in the small, dark room, foreshadowing the impending danger.

The old man's face froze, Tianque Assassin.

The next moment, he looked at Jiang Daiyi in disbelief.

"It's you, the traitor of the Yun family!"

"No," the old man thought of a person, but suddenly felt that it was impossible, "Yun Yi, were you coerced?"

The man sneered, his low, hoarse voice sounding like a cold-blooded animal lurking in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow to its prey at any time.

He looked at Jiang Daiyi beside him, "Her name is not Yunyi."

It is clearly March, but the wind blowing in from the window is still cold.

"I'm indeed not Yun Yi." Jiang Daiyi smiled extremely gently, and her voice was also extremely soft.

To be precise, she is neither Yun Yi nor Jiang Daiyi, but just an unlucky person who accidentally traveled to a dark age.

Fourteen years ago, she was reincarnated as Jiang Daiyi, who was still a baby. She was abducted from her home by Tianque when she could only walk. Her family was originally a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan, but all their money was looted, and even she herself was trained to be a tool to be loyal to Tianque.

She wasn't the only one in there. Any young boy who was obedient and could successfully survive the training would have his family left behind as hostages. If not, they would be killed together.

Her family in this world were naturally also hostages. She was very scared at first and thought about escaping and disregarding the lives of her original family, but in the end she felt guilty.

Seven years ago, she was arranged to be with Yun Qin by chance, sneaked into the Yun family and became Yun Qin's sister, gathering intelligence about the Yun family for Tianque.

Not only the Yun family trusts her, but Tianque also trusts her.

She seemed to be working for Tianque, but her real purpose was to use the power of the Yun family to overthrow the Lord of Que and completely free herself and her family from the control of that cruel man.

She has been hiding it well all these years.

I had no choice but to reveal my identity this time.

Yunqin's power has grown in recent years, enough to compete with Tianque, but he just lacks an opportunity to destroy Tianque.

Jiang Daiyi originally thought about revealing her identity and cooperating with Yun Qin, but later found that this might make her vulnerable to attacks from all sides, so she simply gave up.

Traveling through time is already unlucky, but you can't be so unlucky that you don't even have freedom and a stable life, right?

She would have to figure out whether to go back or not. At least for now, she wanted to be free and safe.

"Grandpa Lu, don't be afraid."

Jiang Daiyi smiled gently, like the softest flower on the top of the Jade Mountain. There was always a warm smile on her lips when she spoke.

"I won't hurt you, and of course, brother Yu."

Her gaze seemed to inadvertently glance at the child who had just opened the door.

The old man's face was solemn. "Yun Yi, everyone has witnessed how the Yun family has treated you over the years. Your brother even treasures you. Since you are living well now, why would you betray them and return to that place where they eat people without leaving any bones?"

Jiang Daiyi smiled slightly: "Who said I want to betray my brother?"

Wouldn't betraying him help Tianque weaken Yunqin's power? She also hoped to use Yunqin as a knife to get rid of the cancer of the Que Lord.

Before I knew it, the sky outside had become completely dark. The hazy moonlight shone through the broken window, making the dim room a little brighter.

The assassin was a little impatient: "After staying in the Yun family for so many years, Miss Jiang has become a little slow in her work. I wonder if Master Que knows about this and will call you back for retraining?"

The spy from Tianque sent a message saying that the Yun family had some news that was very important to Tianque, and ordered Jiang Daiyi to cooperate, even if it meant exposing her identity, to get the content of the news, which is why this happened.

Jiang Daiyi said slowly, "Grandpa Lu, what's the news?"

The old man looked at the girl in front of him and sighed regretfully, "I don't think you want to know this news. Working for Tianque is like trying to get the skin of a tiger."

"Stop talking nonsense. Just kill him and search his body." The assassin couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take action while the other man was talking.

The short blade stabbed towards the old man's face. Figures moved in the dimly lit room. In a moment, several people could smell the faint smell of blood.

Jiang Daiyi had stood in front of the old man at some point, and the short blade pierced her shoulder.

The assassin was slightly startled: "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Jiang Daiyi asked calmly, "He has a photographic memory and has repeatedly passed on messages without any physical evidence. If you kill him, how will you get the news?"

The assassin pulled back the short blade, and blood quickly soaked Jiang Daiyi's dark-colored clothes.

Jiang Daiyi didn't care about the wound at all. She turned to look at the old man and said, "Grandpa Lu, don't forget that Ah Yu doesn't know martial arts."

This is to use A Yu to threaten Lu Zhao.

Grandpa Lu pulled Ah Yu behind him and then started to discuss: "Okay, I'll tell you."

"However, Ayu's life..."

Jiang Daiyi promised: "I won't hurt him." "This news is a little special."

Assassin: "Long story short."

Yun Qin was suspicious, and if he made any mistake and regained his consciousness, the Yun family would probably come after him.

The old man glanced at him and said, "The news that was passed to the Yun family this time is about Miss Yun's experience before she was seven years old."

The assassin was stunned when he heard this.

Jiang Daiyi was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that after seven years, her identity was still in doubt in the eyes of the Yun family.

She asked, "Is this the Yun family's intention, or my brother's?"

The old man said, "That's Yunqin's idea, of course."

The gentle smile on Jiang Daiyi's lips faded slightly, and the assassin next to her was frightened and his scalp tingled uncontrollably every time he heard this name.

As an assassin from Tianque, every time he faced Yunqin, he was left powerless to fight back against his ruthless methods hidden beneath his gentle appearance, and could only flee in panic.

For so many years, if Jiang Daiyi had not been lurking beside Yunqin and passing on information without any leaks, Tianque would have been unable to resist such a powerful enemy.

"The so-called important news is nothing more than a ploy to lure the snake out of its hole."

With every word the old man spoke, Jiang Daiyi and the assassin's expressions darkened.

"Even now, you think that Master Yun is too injured to come, but that's just part of the plan. In another stick of incense, he will be here."

"Miss Yun... No, Miss Jiang's background was well hidden by Tianque. I didn't find out anything."

"But the fact that you revealed your true identity was probably within the Master's expectations. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with this test."

"It is precisely because I cannot confirm your identity that I am pretending to be seriously injured to expose you. If you are not a traitor, what I sent back this time is just an ordinary internal energy method. If you are a traitor..."

The old man, who was originally seriously injured and unable to stand, suddenly stood up effortlessly.

Jiang Daiyi took a step back, and the confident smile on her face now froze.

The assassin did not dare to act rashly and stared at the person opposite him vigilantly. The old man had practiced martial arts for many years and his internal strength was no longer comparable to that of ordinary young people. Even ten of him combined would not be his match.

unless……

"It seems that if we want to escape today, we have to let Miss Jiang go." The assassin looked at Jiang Daiyi beside him.

The late spring rain poured down, and the rapid and intense galloping of horses splashed mud all over the road. Dozens of horses stopped in front of a house in the small county town.

The young man in the lead had a handsome face, a clear mind and a fine figure.

His clothes were stained with rain, and the sash around his waist fluttered. After getting off the horse, he strode forward.

His figure is elegant and his bearing is dignified.

The spring rain could not wash away the bloody smell coming from the house, nor the fragrance of the white flowers that his sister was accustomed to using.

Yun Qin paused slightly, his gentle, jade-like eyes filled with emotion. The next moment, he pushed open the door without hesitation.

Almost at the moment the door opened, a short blade flew towards Yun Qin's face.

Yun Qin dodged sideways, clamped the blade with his long white fingers, and turned around to remove the short blade's thrust. The ends of his half-bunched black hair swirled in the air, creating a circle of water splashes.

The assassin took advantage of this gap and passed by Yun Qin in an instant. When his eyes met those gentle yet bewitching eyes, he still felt a subconscious panic in his heart, and then disappeared quickly.

The assassin was very skilled in martial arts, and Yun Qin only vaguely saw that there seemed to be another shade of dark red on his body.

At the same time, Ah Yu's warning came from inside the house: "He kidnapped Sister Yun, stop him quickly!"

A loud spring thunderclap made people panic, and the heavy rain on their faces made them feel extremely cool.

Jiang Daiyi was forced to flee at full speed by the assassin, and the wind and rain made her body feel even colder and wetter.

"Where are you taking me?"

The assassin regarded Yun Qin as a monster and was afraid of being caught up, so he had no time to answer Jiang Daiyi.

"Don't talk."

"She asked where you were taking her."

The gentle and clear ending of the man's voice melted into people's eardrums like a spring breeze and rain, and at the same time, several secret guards surrounded the two of them.

Jiang Daiyi was unable to open her eyes due to the wind and rain. She wiped her face and looked up.

The young man in the rain and fog was calm, holding a twenty-four-section ink-painted umbrella in his hand. His jade-like eyes met her gaze gently, overlapping with the usual calm and relaxed demeanor in her memory. Year after year, Yun Qin was like this, with an extremely gentle look, eliminating those who tried to hurt her one by one.

In troubled times, with storms coming from all directions, the young man used his body as an umbrella and his bones as a handle to protect and favor his sister endlessly.

Today, she would naturally not allow an assassin to take her away.

The young man under the umbrella had gentle eyes and no emotion on his jade-like face. He seemed to be unconcerned about the assassin's sneak attack in the house just now. He just stared at the obvious bloodstain on Jiang Daiyi's body with a gentle tone.

He spoke with a smile and said to the assassin, "You are a guest, why are you running?"
