Chapter 45 He seems to recognize you. See, he gave you a chance to ask for help.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

It was rare for Zhaixingzi to see Qi Yunshen so 'weak' and pale, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The second half of the sentence had not yet been uttered.

A hidden weapon came towards Zhaixingzi.

Zhaixingzi jumped up and down, raising his eyebrows: "I finally came to see you today, you... you... you are injured?"

Qi Yunshen glanced at him and continued to carve a small wooden horse for Qi Zhenzhen. "What's the matter?"

Seeing that Qi Yunshen didn't want to say more, Zhaixingzi didn't ask. He then thought, who could possibly hurt this fearless demon? The injury from falling off a cliff wouldn't be so severe, right?

"Business, business." Zhai Xingzi sighed, his face suddenly serious, "Someone recently came to see me in the name of Doctor Xu."

Qi Yunshen paused, his eyes reflecting a cold and dangerous light.

Zhai Xingzi licked her lips and coughed lightly. "Didn't I get saved by Doctor Xu back then? Wasn't it her who threatened me... I promised her three things, and someone came to me with these three things a few days ago."

A moment of silence.

Qi Yunshen said: "Speak."

Zhai Xingzi: "That person is looking for the whereabouts of Xu Yinlin and... Xiao Qinyu. I didn't tell her."

"I heard about you falling off a cliff a while ago. You also know this person..." Qi Yunshen pointed in a certain direction outside the window, "Look, he lives next door to you now."

Qi Yunshen paused.

Zhaixingzi touched his nose and silently lit a candle for Jiang Yunzheng in his heart. Why did you have to stick to Xu Jingyang when there were so many other names you could choose?

"Isn't this a coincidence? Hahaha..."

Qi Yunshen put away the wooden horse and called Qingying in.

After a while, in an abandoned temple in the capital.

A person whose face was burned beyond recognition and whose original appearance could not be seen was curled up on the ground. His lower body looked like it had been eaten by a wild beast. The flesh on his legs was in pieces and the stench of decay was unpleasant.

Qingying quietly came to the abandoned temple and poured out several snakes from the cloth bag. The black snakes were very excited when they smelled the blood. They swayed their bodies and bit the man's rotten legs, and some bit his arms.

Qingying blew a whistle, and a big wolfhound from nearby rushed in. Qingying pointed at the man.

The dog was so excited that it gnawed at the man's lower body. The beggar was awakened by the pain, but his vocal cords were damaged and he couldn't speak complete words. He could only make strange cries in his throat, as if he was a fool who was supporting his hind half and kept moving backwards.

Even if someone outside heard it, they wouldn't dare come in.

Qingying put the person into a sack with disgust and left quickly using his lightness skills.

Today is the day when Xu Suyuan, the eldest son of the Xu family, returns to Beijing. A carriage drove into the city gate very low-key and headed towards Anrenfang.

Qingying followed all the way.

Something is happening with Xu Suyuan.

The carriage stopped at the door of a house. Xu Suyuan got out first, and a slim young girl was supported by a maid into the yard.

After both of them went in, Qingying looked at the time and threw the person in the sack at the door of the house.

The house looked quite quiet, with a moderate size and a secluded location. After Xu Suyuan finished packing up, he planned to leave.

A sad female voice came from behind: "Sir, please have dinner before leaving."

Xu Suyuan turned around expressionlessly. The woman's heart suddenly jumped. A pair of large hands slowly pinched her neck. The woman had difficulty speaking: "I'm sorry... Sir, please forgive me..."

Xu Suyuan let go of her hand and the woman fell to the ground.

"affectation."

As Xu Suyuan stepped out of the door, a beggar covered in blood stood in front of the carriage.

Xu Suyuan's expression froze, and the servant quickly moved the beggar away: "Sir, you can get in the car now."

Xu Suyuan stood there without moving. He heard the beggar's murmuring voice behind him. Xu Suyuan curled his lips and simply got into the car.

Wait until the carriage leaves the alley.

Qingying walked out slowly.

He kicked the man on the ground, "He seems to recognize you."

"See, I gave you a chance to ask for help."

The beggar seemed to be deaf, staring at the entrance of the alley with a pair of black eyes, looking more miserable than an animal.

-

After a while, the assassin in the Jiang family's room woke up.

The assassin's name was Hou Yue. After seeing the sword on his desk, Hou Yue felt relieved. Suddenly, footsteps were heard not far away. Hou Yue immediately stood behind the door with his sword.

Almost as soon as Jiang Yunzheng entered the door, the sword was pointed at her neck.

Jiang Yunzheng chuckled: "It seems that the injury is not serious, and he still has strength."

Hou Yue looked at Jiang Yunzheng and saw that she didn't look like someone skilled in martial arts. He then put away his sword and said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, it's an occupational disease... You saved me?"

Jiang Yunzheng nodded.

Hou Yue looked at the bandage marks on her chest. She knew how serious her injuries were, and her eyes were full of gratitude.

Jiang Yunzheng shook her head slightly, and suddenly asked, "Are you the prince's man?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

The sword that had just fallen returned to Jiang Yunzheng's neck.

Hou Yue's tone became a little stern: "Who are you?"

Jiang Yunzheng raised her eyebrows slightly, "Don't even mention it. Do you admire the prince?"

Being able to place the bamboo whistle representing the prince at the nearest to his heart is not something that an ordinary secret guard or assassin can do.

Hou Yue stared at Jiang Yunzheng closely: "I am not."

Jiang Yunzheng wasn't worried at all. She smiled and said, "To treat your savior like this, it seems the poison in your body is worth it."

Hou Yue frowned: "What kind of poison?"

Jiang Yunzheng chuckled: "In case Mr. Dongguo and the wolf appear again, I gave you some poison when I fed you the medicine."

Jiang Yunzheng had a beautiful and gentle face, and she spoke frightening words in the gentlest tone.

"Do you feel a blackout in front of your eyes, as if something is churning in your stomach?"

Hou Yue held her stomach and stared at Jiang Yunzheng: "What are you going to do?!"

Jiang Yunzheng's tone was very calm, "Who is your master?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Jiang Yunzheng pushed the sword away and said, "Since I saved you, you are mine. If you want to live, just listen to me."

Hou Yue pursed her lips and stared at Jiang Yunzheng.

"What's the name?"

"Hou Yue."

"When I mentioned the prince, you looked ashamed and angry, and there was no sense of master and servant at all. So the prince is not the master to you. You are the one placed next to the prince. Are you the King of Zhou or the King of Yu?" Jiang Yunzheng's thoughts were very jumpy.

Hou Yue didn't expect Jiang Yunzheng to be so perceptive, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

"You are a smart person, you can think about it."

Jiang Yunzheng just walked into the yard.

A voice came from behind: "What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Yunzheng turned around, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "Go to Prince Yu's villa in the suburbs of Beijing and bring Prince Yu's wife here."

Hou Yue was stunned.

She didn't expect Jiang Yunzheng to ask her to do this.

"That's it?"

Jiang Yunzheng's expression remained unchanged: "Of course."

Hou Yue looked strange: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away?"

Jiang Yunzheng smiled gently, "I made this poison myself. No one in the world can cure it except me. If you don't take it on time, the medicine will corrode your intestines and stomach, and then you will break into two pieces."

Hou Yue swallowed and said, "When can you give me the antidote?"

"When the time comes, we'll hand over the goods to you."

"This is the same place."

Hou Yue said okay.
