Chapter 203 He really wanted to know what happened in those few minutes after he jumped off the cliff

Yun Qingshi explained helplessly: "I'm really fine, Eunuch Zhao, just rest assured."

Zhao Mingde nodded and agreed: "Ah, I understand."

Although Zhao Mingde agreed verbally, his expression was still very alert, and his arms were always loosely protecting Yun Qingshi, with no intention of retracting them.

Seeing this, Yun Qingshi was too lazy to say anything more.

But actually, because he was acting, he was already walking very slowly.

When he finally moved to the pavilion and was about to sit down, he heard Zhao Mingde's very nervous voice again.

"Wait a moment, sir!"

Yun Qingshi froze, turned his head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Mingde hurriedly ordered a servant, "Don't wipe it yet, go find a mat!"

"Yes." The servant who was wiping the corridor pillars immediately put down the rag and ran to find it when he heard the sound.

Zhao Mingde then smiled and explained to Yun Qingshi, "This stone bench is cold, and you're injured, so it's better to use some cushioning to prevent the cold air from entering your body and making you sick again."

Yun Qingshi: ...

Yun Qingshi fell silent.

A cushion?

What did he think was wrong?

They are treating him like a weakling, even though he is a secret guard with great martial arts skills.

How can he survive if this gets out?

Ying San and the others are still watching!

Yun Qingshi still cared about his reputation, so he secretly planned to just sit down.

But as soon as he moved, he heard Zhao Mingde's voice again.

"Sir! Let's wait a little longer."

Yun Qingshi: ...

Yun Qingshi compromised and had to put the box of dried fruits on the table and wait for the cushion.

The boy was a quick runner, and within a few words he came running back with the cushion he had found.

Only after Zhao Mingde carefully laid out the mat was Yun Qingshi finally allowed to sit down.

The cushion was quite soft and comfortable to sit on, but Yun Qingshi felt that his brilliant life was about to be wasted.

He came out today originally to ask Ying San and the others about something, but now he feels a little embarrassed to ask Ying San to come out.

Yun Qingshi sat down and ate a handful of melon seeds.

But he couldn't just go back without doing anything. After a while, Yun Qingshi clapped his hands, stood up, and waved towards the roofs of the two side halls. He said, "Ying Yi, Ying San, Ying Twelve, come down. I have something to ask you."

Everyone heard what Prince Xiao said that day, and from now on Ying Eleven will be their master.

So after hearing the sound, the three of them quickly fell into the yard and walked into the pavilion.

Ying Twelve asked curiously, "Eleven, what's going on?"

Ying Yi and Ying San also looked at Yun Qingshi in confusion.

Yun Qingshi waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to sit down first: "Don't worry, let's sit down and talk slowly."

The three of them had no choice but to sit down.

Yun Qingshi also sat down, and then he used his healthy hand to grab a handful of melon seeds for each of the three people and handed them to everyone.

The three of them had no choice but to reach out and take it.

Yun Qingshi then continued, "Have some melon seeds. They're five-spice, freshly fried and still hot."

Yingyi hesitated slightly.

Ying Sanze immediately fell in love with it and nodded seriously in approval: "It's really good."

Ying Twelve also ate some melon seeds and nodded: "Delicious."

When Ying saw that both of them were eating, he had no choice but to join in.

The four of them were eating melon seeds, and Zhao Mingde was very considerate and asked Bitao to bring them tea.

Yun Qingshi actually asked Zhao Mingde to sit with him, but Zhao Mingde refused, so Yun Qingshi gave up.

Of course, Yun Qingshi did not forget his purpose, but it was also true that he wanted to get together with everyone.

After everyone had drunk several cups of tea and eaten melon seeds at a rapid pace, Yun Qingshi took a sip of tea and spoke, "Actually, I want to ask about what happened that day after I was stabbed by an assassin and fell off the cliff. You were all there that day, so could you tell me the details?"

He really wanted to know what happened in the few minutes after he jumped off the Cliff of No Return, and why Xiao Jiwu suddenly jumped after him.

Hearing this, Shadow One, Shadow Three, and Shadow Twelve looked at each other in hesitation.

Of course, everyone was not hesitant about whether to say this or not, but they were mainly hesitant about how to say it.

In the end, Ying Twelve was promoted as the main speaker.

This is also very reasonable. After all, Ying Yi and Ying San are both taciturn people, so it would be boring to let them speak.

But this matter was not much easier for Ying Twelve.

He is good at killing people, but not at telling stories.

Ying Twelve said seriously, "Let me think about it."

Ying Twelve then began to recall his childhood experience of listening to books.

It's no wonder he's serious. This matter is small, but also big. It concerns the relationship between Ying Shiyi and their master, so he has to take it seriously.

After trying hard to organize his words for a while, Ying Twelve spoke in a serious manner:

"That day, His Royal Highness Prince Yi had just paid his respects to his mother at Gratitude Temple and was about to rush back to the palace. He thought the journey would be peaceful and he would return home safely. However, unexpectedly, when the team reached the Cliff of No Return, a sharp sword suddenly shot out from the darkness, aiming at the carriage His Royal Highness was riding in."

"It happened so fast. Ying Yi, the first secret guard beside Prince Yi, reacted quickly and flew down, blocking the cold arrow with his sword."

"But this was just the beginning. After one arrow was blocked, countless arrows followed. Fortunately, the men His Royal Highness Prince Yi brought with him on this trip were all highly skilled in martial arts. Thanks to their efforts, not a single arrow was able to touch His Royal Highness."

"After the arrows flew into the air, the enemy finally revealed themselves. Countless black-clad assassins rushed out from both the front and the back, surrounding Prince Yi and his group."

"There are no less than two hundred assassins coming, but Prince Yi only has less than forty men. With such a huge disparity, even a god would find it difficult to escape."

Although Yun Qingshi was also present at the scene, he actually did not see it because he was in the carriage at the time.

So he listened quite seriously, and couldn't help but frowning nervously, but he didn't forget to continue eating melon seeds.

A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of Ying Yiying San next to them.

They didn't expect that Ying Twelve could speak so well!

It's a waste of talent. Being a secret guard is really a waste of talent.

Shadow Twelve continued, "But in fact, besides His Royal Highness Prince Yi, there was another person in the carriage. That person was originally a secret guard, ranked eleventh, but now he is His Royal Highness's beloved. After the rain of arrows stopped, His Royal Highness Prince Yi got off the carriage with Eleventh."

"At that time, heavy snow fell, the wind howled, and assassins came from all directions—"

Yun Qingshi was so frightened that he couldn't even eat the melon seeds.

After being surprised, he couldn't help but interrupt Ying Twelve: "Wait, heavy snow? Howling wind? But why do I remember it was just a light snow..."
