Chapter 282 Asking Yama

By the time Yun Yichen realized it, the longsword was already at his chest. Even though he reacted quickly, his arm was still cut.

"Who sent you?"

Yun Yichen exuded a chilling aura as he stared intently at the man in black who appeared before him.

"Go ask the King of Hell about that!"

As he spoke, the man in black raised his hand, and several more people dressed similarly to him instantly appeared around him.

Several people drew their swords and attacked Yun Yichen together. Yun Yichen's martial arts skills were not bad, and he could even be said to have few rivals. However, under the siege of the group, he was still at a disadvantage.

Those people seemed to know all along that they couldn't beat him in a one-on-one fight, so they took turns attacking Yun Yichen, trying to wear him down and drag him into a desperate situation.

Seeing through the opponent's intentions, Yun Yichen knew he could not linger in the fight. He seized an opportunity, made a feint, drew his soft sword from his waist, and instantly killed two unsuspecting men in black.

By the time those people realized they had been tricked, Yun Yichen had already slipped away several steps away.

"Chase him! We must kill him outside the city today!"

The leader of the men in black said this, and quickly led his henchmen to chase after them.

At the Marquis's residence, Gu Shuyan went to bed early.

But in the middle of the night, Gu Shuyan was awakened by a nightmare.

In her dream, she returned to her past life, to the day Yun Yichen rebelled. Yun Yichen, tall and handsome in full armor, stood beneath the city gate, with tens of thousands of soldiers behind him.

Although they were far apart, Gu Shuyan could still clearly see the determination in his eyes. Just as the army breached the palace, Lu Youming, dressed in the same martial attire, appeared.

A smug smile played on his face. Gu Shuyan was shocked when she saw it and rushed forward to tell Yun Yichen to retreat and get away from the palace, which was already full of ambushes.

No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move an inch. She shouted loudly, but no one present could hear her. In the end, she could only watch as Yun Yichen was pierced by a thousand arrows and died under the city walls.

"Miss, did you have another nightmare?"

Pearl hurriedly brought over hot water, wiped Gu Shuyan's sweat, and then brought her a cup of tea before asking her questions.

Gu Shuyan looked at Pearl's worried face, nodded, and didn't say anything more.

When she was first reborn, she had nightmares almost every day, and every time it was in that dilapidated room, watching her son and Mingyu die in front of those two people.

After returning from the temple, perhaps because she had found solace in something, Gu Shuyan hadn't had any more nightmares. But today, for some reason, she had such a vivid dream.

Patting her wildly beating chest, Gu Shuyan gulped down the tea in her cup and was about to lie back down when, with a bang, the door was suddenly pushed open with great force.

"Who?" The master and servant were both startled. Before they could react, Zhong Lin quickly carried someone in on his back.

"Young Miss, please save Master!"

Zhong Lin was in a sorry state, with bloodstains on his clothes. The sight of him covered in blood made Gu Shuyan's heart leap into her throat.

"What happened?"

Gu Shuyan looked worried and hurriedly helped Zhong Lin put Yun Yichen on the bed, while Pearl quickly went to get the medicine box.

"Our master was attacked while on business, and by the time we arrived, he was already seriously injured." Zhong Lin said, tears welling up in his eyes.
