Chapter 386 She knew she was hated.
That's right.
Yu Zhiyi did not take Du Ziheng away.
He was less than a stranger to her, and she was in a hurry to get on her way, so she naturally wouldn't do something so strenuous and thankless.
Besides, her feelings for him are now extremely negative, and she has no intention of wasting her time and energy on him.
Anyway, Mingshan is safe enough now. He can go down the mountain on his own when he wakes up.
At most, she would send someone to inform Prime Minister Du and his wife after she returned to Shengjing, so that they could send someone to pick up their son.
That can be considered as doing everything one could to be kind and righteous.
When Du Ziheng woke up, he was completely dazed.
He was reborn.
The respawn point is terrible.
In his previous life, he was proficient in both literary and military arts.
With his good family background, good looks, and good character, he was an idol admired by everyone in Shengjing City.
In the words of his friend, he is a true winner in life.
This enviable good fortune became even more apparent after he got married.
His wife, Yu Zhiyi, is intelligent, beautiful, gentle, generous, and also possesses a wealth of metaphysical knowledge.
When he was eighteen, he fell in love with his wife at first sight and, disregarding the fact that she was only the adopted daughter of the Minister of Revenue, went to her door to ask for her hand in marriage.
After getting married, he and his wife lived in harmony and were very loving.
She was quite talented and highly skilled in metaphysics, and was his wise and capable wife who helped him overcome many difficulties.
He respected her, was grateful to her, and loved her.
Later, he succeeded his father as prime minister, which can be considered as him carrying on his father's legacy.
A few years later, his father, Prime Minister Du, and the emperor passed away one after another, and he supported the young emperor to ascend the throne.
With threats looming both inside and outside the court, he and his wife together protected the Great Sheng Empire.
Later, he died peacefully in his old age, but his wife never aged because of her identity as a member of the Taoist sect.
He had no idea what happened next; when he opened his eyes again, he was reborn.
But what did he do before his rebirth?
How could he be such a bastard?!
How could he fall in love with another woman?
Moreover, she's a woman whose ulterior motives are obvious at a glance.
He suspected that he had been cursed in this life, otherwise he would never have done something so idiotic.
"Yi'er!"
Upon realizing that Yu Zhiyi was returning to the capital to report on her duties, Du Ziheng quickly got out of bed and chased after her.
The sun was already shining brightly outside.
The housekeeper said that the second young lady had been gone for about an hour.
Du Ziheng covered his face.
In this life, Yi'er seems to dislike him.
He only experienced a moment of frustration before picking himself up again.
They were a loving couple, and he believed she would fall in love with him again.
After all, they had such a good relationship in their past life.
For him, she even gave up the chance to become an immortal.
Yu Zhiyi suddenly sneezed.
Xiao Qingxuan asked anxiously, "Did you catch a cold?"
The child stayed up late at night and went down the mountain to set up an array.
Xiao Qingxuan was on tenterhooks when she learned that these things had been taken back.
She was terrified that her daughter would get a fever and fall ill.
Yu Zhiyi reached out and did some calculations, then said, "Mother, please rest assured, I am not sick."
Before Xiao Qingxuan could catch her breath, she heard her daughter say again, "Someone is probably cursing me."
"?"
Xiao Qingxuan was furious: "Who is so hateful? My Jin'er is so good, how dare he curse me?"
Yu Zhiyi chuckled: "I'm not a coin, how could I possibly make everyone like me?"
Besides, there are already two counties with people who dislike her.
Because they needed to travel quickly, Yu Zhiyi did not choose to take a carriage this time.
Except for Li Rou, everyone in their group knew how to ride a horse.
Even Li Rou, upon learning that she would be riding a horse back, specifically took leave to practice horseback riding.
As for who taught her...
Yu Zhiyi sees through things but doesn't say anything, and she doesn't have the habit of getting involved in other people's relationships.
There's nothing wrong with traveling on horseback; the only inconvenience is having to take two prisoners with you.
Most importantly, there's also Gao Wenfeng.
This guy can't die, and we can't abandon him either; how to bring him back to the capital has become a major problem.
After hearing about his sister's concerns, Jiang Liuyi gave her a suggestion—to stage an assassination attempt on the way down the mountain, and then pretend that someone was injured.
In this way, they could openly and legitimately bring the unconscious Gao Wenfeng out.
For people like them who live the martial arts world, getting injured or unconscious in fights is a common occurrence.
It is quite normal for someone to be carried along while unconscious.
The assassination attempt was so realistic that Chen Ruolan and her daughter were terrified.
However, the two were more cunning than lotus roots. After a moment of panic, they exchanged a glance and realized they could use this assassination attempt to escape.
So, disregarding the ropes binding his hands and the shackles on his feet, he turned and ran while the fighting was raging.
This is also part of Yu Zhiyi's design.
If the two don't leave, it's really hard to find a replacement.
After all, these two are too shrewd. If they discover even the slightest clue, the entire plan will be ruined.
Because the mother and daughter's escape was part of Yu Zhiyi's plan, they failed to escape. They only ran a few hundred meters before Tang Mingxuan, who appeared out of nowhere, grabbed them and brought them back.
Meanwhile, the guard who had been used as a cover had successfully retreated and been replaced by Gao Wenfeng, who was dressed as a guard.
The group rested on the spot for a while and tallied the number of casualties.
To make the assassination look more realistic, all twenty guards sent by the martial arts alliance were injured.
Tang Mingxuan and the other guards, on the other hand, were not harmed because they were protecting Yu Zhiyi and her daughter closely in the inner circle.
Even though Chen Ruolan and her daughter were incredibly shrewd, they couldn't see anything amiss.
After all, they had witnessed firsthand the guard's formation in dealing with the assassins before they left. Given that they had won the battle, it wouldn't be surprising if the people responsible for internal defense were unharmed.
The only thing the two found strange was why Yu Zhiyi would bring an injured person with her on the road.
The answer to this question was soon heard from Yu Zhiyi.
"I must return to Shengjing within two days and have no time to settle him down. Bai Zhiyuan, thank you for taking him with you on this journey."
Bai Zhiyuan is the captain of the first guard team of the Martial Alliance, and is a well-known figure in the martial arts world.
Several years ago, he was being hunted down by his enemies and nearly lost his life at their hands. Jiang Yuchuan happened to pass by and saved him. Since then, he voluntarily joined the Martial Arts Alliance and became one of the many guards.
Other members of the guard team may have joined the Martial Alliance Guard Team for money or career prospects, but Bai Zhiyuan joined simply to repay a debt of gratitude.
This person extends his affection to everyone he cares about; he also highly values anyone his benefactor takes a liking to.
The mother and daughter felt that Yu Zhiyi was extremely hypocritical.
They keep cultivating an image of fairness and kindness, but when someone gets injured, they won't even let them stay and rest.
So she knows she's hated, which is why she doesn't dare to be without someone by her side?
In order to protect themselves, they disregarded the life or death of the seriously injured and unconscious.
Pshaw.
