Chapter 200
"Oh my god! This is terrible! Why are they fighting?!"
As Hanxiang spoke, she pulled Wenshu back and hurriedly tried to go out to report to the authorities, but Wenshu stopped her.
She looked at Wen Shu, still shaken, only to see Wen Shu slightly raise her chin, gesturing for her to look at the person in the courtyard who had crossed his arms and remained silent.
"Young Master Pei?" Hanxiang asked in surprise, "Why isn't he helping?"
Are we just going to let Young Master Wen take on four opponents by himself?
Wen Shu paused for a moment before finally saying, "I know those people."
"Huh?" Hanxiang looked at Wenshu in disbelief, thinking to herself, "How do you know those four big, burly men?"
Although Hanxiang didn't say it directly, Wenshu understood her meaning and asked, "Do you still remember when I was kidnapped by the people of Longhu Village in Anyang?"
Speaking of this, Hanxiang still feels a deep sadness in her heart. Back then, her aunt cried and begged her to ask the eldest daughter-in-law to ask someone for help, but those people only made sarcastic remarks and even mocked her for getting involved with shady characters.
Enraged, the young man immediately turned and left.
A man carrying a sword charged up the mountain of Dragon Tiger Stronghold.
Finally, Lord Pei and Young Master Wen led the girl down the mountain, their bodies covered in blood, which made their hearts clench with anxiety.
"Of course I remember. Back then, Master didn't dare to go out of his way to rescue you because of the Wen family's reputation." Hanxiang pouted, and seeing that the fight inside was getting more and more intense, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Miss, are you really alright?"
Wen Shu shook her head, stepped over the threshold into the courtyard, and said, "These people are some of the influential leaders of Dragon Tiger Stronghold..."
The woman's back suddenly trembled as if she had thought of something. Although she didn't know what their purpose was in suddenly appearing there, it was clear that they already knew that they were not dead.
Could those people in Anyang who were looking for them be the same people from Longhu Village?
But Longhu Village hates Wen Tao; surely they wouldn't hate his family members as well.
Wen Shu was undecided, but seeing that the four people didn't seem to have any intention of harming anyone, she called out from afar, "Wen Ji."
Upon hearing Wen Shu's voice, Wen Ji flicked his wrist and swept his sword across the blades of the four men. He was also jolted back by the impact and ended up in front of Wen Shu.
"Sister!"
The young man's brows were resolute. He brandished his longsword and questioned the four men, "How did you find your way here?"
"It's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding!" Tu Wen, who was middle-aged, laughed and said apologetically, "Young Master Wen, Young Lady Wen, it's been a long time."
The young man snorted loudly, "Who said we haven't seen each other for a long time?!"
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Cui Pei coughed heavily, drawing everyone's attention to himself, before slowly speaking.
"Please listen to me..."
Wen Shu was also quite surprised. She heard that Cui Pei had secretly taken in Pei Lingjun from Longhu Village and had also gained merit when he captured Shangshouyin in the north. Most of them had been incorporated into the army by the court and had been given official positions. The four of them were also going to the border to join the army.
Not only Wenji, but even Wenshu was stunned. She subconsciously glanced at Pei Lingjun and saw him nod at her before her tense back relaxed slightly.
"So that's how it is..."
