Chapter 147 Turning Point
Jiang Shu was shocked when he heard this, and the drunkenness had mostly gone. When he was about to get off the car and run away, he suddenly saw a man in black falling from the sky in front of the car.
The master and servant felt depressed, knowing that they could not leave.
Seeing the man in black suddenly appear, the gangsters near the carriage were shocked and said in a fierce voice: "Who are you? Get out of here quickly if you know what's your place, or don't blame us for being rude."
The man in black didn't say anything, but pulled out a dagger and attacked several people quickly.
"Looking for death!" Several gangsters cursed and fought with the man in black.
Jiang Shu and Chu Yu were stunned at the door of the car, not understanding what was going on.
Aren't they together? Is the man in black here to save them?
"Girl, how about we run away quietly?" Chu Yu suggested in a low voice.
Jiang Shu looked at the horse and said, "If we run too slowly, we will be caught up easily.
Let's drive." "But I can't drive." Chu Yu looked at the reins on the carriage, not knowing where to start.
"I'll do it." Jiang Shu got out of the carriage and imitated the way the driver usually drove, holding the reins in one hand and the whip in the other.
Looking at the more than half of the gangsters who had fallen down and the black-clothed man holding a dagger and attacking ruthlessly, Jiang Shu swallowed hard, clenched the whip and raised his hand to whip the horse's butt.
At this moment, the black-clothed man suddenly turned around and his eyes met Jiang Shu's.
The dagger in his hand was bleeding, and it was particularly scary under the moonlight.
Jiang Shu's hand holding the whip froze in mid-air, and the whole person seemed to be petrified and unable to move.
"Girl...girl, why don't we get out of the car and run." Chu Yu reached out to pull Jiang Shu, her voice tinged with fear.
Where to run? Who can they, two weak women, outrun?
Jiang Shu was a little desperate and at a loss.
While the man in black was staring at Jiang Shu in a daze, the remaining two gangsters attacked him from behind.
Jiang Shu watched, her mood was very complicated.
She was not sure whether the man in black was here to save her, and she was tangled and hesitant.
"Be careful!" In the end, her mouth made a decision faster than her brain.
The man in black turned around when he heard the sound, and the dagger in his hand neatly slashed across one person's neck, and then quickly stabbed into the chest of another person.
But in the blink of an eye, the two men fell to the ground dead.
Jiang Shu and Chu Yu were stunned, and completely gave up the idea of escaping, and left it to fate.
The man in black pulled out a dagger, wiped the blood off the criminal's clothes casually, and then walked towards the master and servant.
Under the two people's horrified gaze, the man in black stopped a few steps in front of them and bowed.
Uh...
Jiang Shu felt that her brain was not working.
What was going on?
After a moment of silence, after making sure that the man in black would not hurt her, Jiang Shu bravely asked: "Who are you? Why did you save us?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "The master asked me to protect the girl secretly."
Hearing this beautiful female voice, Jiang Shu's almond eyes lit up, it turned out to be a girl.
"Who is your master?" Jiang Shu asked curiously.
The man in black remembered his master's instructions, 'If she asks after showing up, you can reveal your identity to avoid making her uneasy.'
"Prince Jing."
It was Yu Zheng!
Jiang Shu was surprised, but then he found it reasonable. Who else would send someone to protect her except Yu Zheng?
"What's your name?" Jiang Shu slowed down his voice and was no longer afraid.
The man in black was a little surprised and answered unnaturally: "Leng Xing."
Leng Xing had her face covered and her appearance could not be seen, only her eyes were particularly bright, like stars.
She was a secret guard and had always been hidden in the dark. Except for Yu Zheng and Zhuiyun Zhufeng, no one knew her name.
"You are as good as your name. You are so awesome." Jiang Shu praised generously.
Leng Xing's heart shuddered, and she did not answer. She went to check on the driver.
"He is still alive. He can survive if he sees a doctor immediately." Leng Xing said, carrying the driver onto the carriage.
Chu Yu was surprised by her strength and hurriedly made way.
"Girl, you sit inside, I'll drive." Leng Xing took the whip from Jiang Shu's hand.
Jiang Shu did as she was told and asked Chu Yu to press the driver's abdominal wound with a brocade handkerchief to stop the bleeding.
"Drive!" Leng Xing drove skillfully and drove the carriage to Jiang's house.
When he arrived at the gate of Jiang's house, Leng Xing parked the car steadily and flew into the darkness without saying a word.
"Huh?" Jiang Shu was stunned and looked at the empty night sky without saying a word.
Chu Yu jumped out of the car and knocked on the door without bothering to put down the carriage seat.
Soon, the gate opened, and several servants came out to carry the driver away. Chu Yu also helped Jiang Shu into Jiang's house.
Knowing that Jiang Shu had met a bad guy, Jiang's mother was so scared that she almost fainted.
"Shu'er, are you injured? Let me take a look."
Mother Jiang didn't give any explanation and personally checked Jiang Shu's whole body, and then she was relieved.
"I'm fine, the person who protected me secretly saved me." Jiang Shu pulled Mother Jiang to sit down.
"Who is protecting you secretly?" Jiang Ning asked.
Father and Mother Jiang also stared at Jiang Shu, their faces full of confusion.
This...
Jiang Shu's mind turned quickly, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't make up a reasonable lie, so she just told the truth.
Since she and Yu Zheng had decided to be together, she would have to confess to them sooner or later, and today was a good opportunity.
"The person who protected you secretly was sent by King Jing?"
"Are you and King Jing engaged?"
"Why did you hide such a big thing from us?"
After hearing this, the three people raised questions one after another, staring at Jiang Shu steadily, not allowing her to avoid it.
I knew it would be like this.
Jiang Shu held his forehead and explained for a long time, then slapped his thigh and said, "By the way, the bodies of those criminals are still on the way, we have to report to the police."
"We have to report to the authorities to find out who wants to harm you." Jiang's father felt that the criminals Jiang Shu encountered were not ordinary criminals.
The matter was of great importance, so Jiang Ning asked the guards to guard the scene and went to the government office to report to the authorities in person.
Lord He, who had just rested, heard that something happened to the Jiang family, which King Jing was concerned about, and immediately got up from his gentle home.
"Sir, we're here." Jiang Ning led Lord He to the scene of the crime.
Looking at the corpses and blood all over the ground, Lord He widened his eyes and asked in surprise: "Were they killed by the Jiang family guards?"
Jiang Ning shook his head and leaned close to Lord He to whisper a few words.
Lord He was shocked to learn that the criminals were killed by Yu Zheng's people, and realized that this matter had to be handled with caution.
"I have told you everything I know. The rest is up to Lord He." Jiang Ning followed his father's instructions and stuffed a bag of silver into Lord He's hand.
Lord He's hand sank, and he said with a serious face: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I will definitely find out the truth about this matter and bring the person behind it to justice."
Jiang Ning left with his guards and handed the scene over to Lord He.
Lord He was busy until dawn that night.
When the morning sun rose, Jiang Shu stepped out of the door and looked up to scan the surroundings.
Leng Xing said that she had been protecting him in secret. Jiang Shu was very curious, where was she hiding?
"Miss, the lady asked you to bring a few guards when you go out." Chu Yu reminded, still worried about what happened last night.
Jiang Shu was also a little scared. Although Leng Xing was protecting him secretly, he thought that Leng Xing would not show up easily, so it was more convenient to bring two guards with him, so that his parents could rest assured.
When the carriage passed the road last night, Jiang Shu deliberately lifted the curtain to take a look.
The road surface was clean as before, without a trace of blood, as if nothing had happened.
But Jiang Shu knew that last night was extremely dangerous. If Leng Xing had not rescued him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
