Chapter 572 I'm Back
Ji Yunshu also looked up, and one of them had just dealt with a guard and was looking towards Ji Yunshu.
The moment their eyes met, Ji Yunshu immediately felt a creepy danger.
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the man rushed straight towards her.
The long sword in his hand flashed a chilling light in the falling snow.
Ji Yunshu had never experienced the feeling of being targeted by such a top master. At that moment, his mind went blank.
His body froze there, motionless, as if out of his control.
Several guards wanted to rush forward, but unfortunately they were no match for the man and were knocked away in an instant.
Wujina was standing next to Ji Yunshu. She wanted to push Ji Yunshu away, but found that she couldn't move at all.
The pressure from the master made her feel overwhelmed with fear.
She simply couldn't imagine what would happen if Ji Yunshu died in front of her?
But now, she couldn't move at all and could only watch.
The tip of the sword grew larger and larger in Ji Yunshu's eyes. Everything in front of him seemed to be in slow motion, but it was clearly just a blink of an eye.
A cluster of blood flowers bloomed before her eyes.
The wound was on the assassin's chest.
A sword pierces the heart.
Ji Yunshu looked behind him and saw Zhao Shen, dressed in moon-white brocade clothes, standing there like a god descending from heaven, holding a sword in his hand.
Seeing her looking at him, Zhao Shen slowly pulled the sword out of the man's body and shook off the blood on the tip of the sword.
Ji Yunshu didn’t know if it was because of her eyesight, but she felt as if she saw Zhao Shen’s hands shaking as well.
She said happily, "You're back."
Zhao Shen nodded: "Well, I'm back."
Then he calmly ordered the people following him to deal with the assassin together. His orders were brief and powerful, but with a chilling coldness that made people feel scared.
"Leave no one behind."
When Wu Rina saw him walking towards Ji Yunshu, she subconsciously dodged to the side.
She then realized that her behavior was a bit cowardly, but when she thought about the couple reuniting after a long separation, it seemed inappropriate for her to stay here.
She immediately found an excuse for herself and hid somewhere else.
The people around Zhao Shen are all masters. With their participation, there should be no more accidents tonight.
She would be safe no matter where she was.
Zhao Shen walked over to Ji Yunshu and looked her up and down. He saw that she was clean, not injured, and not frightened. She seemed to be in good spirits.
Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, Ji Yunshu suddenly threw herself into his arms: "You're finally back, you scared me to death."
Zhao Shen: “…”
Seeing that she was okay, he was actually very happy. He held her in his arms and said softly, "It's my fault. I came back late."
Ji Yunshu knew that she couldn't blame him, of course. If the people in Prince Yong's Mansion wanted to take action against her, there was no way they wouldn't have included Zhao Shen in their list.
It was not easy for him to arrive so timely.
"Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise I would have been stabbed through by the sword."
Zhao Shen was also frightened when he thought of the scene just now. He swung the sword completely subconsciously.
But at this moment, he had already come to his senses: "Even if I don't come, you will be fine, right? It seems that the trump card Yichen gave you is not useful yet."
Ji Yunshu chuckled and said, "That guy's kung fu was very powerful. I was afraid that if we were far away, he would dodge and accidentally hurt one of our own people. So I wanted to wait until he was closer before attacking. But now that you're here, there's no need for that."
As for the trump card, it’s better not to use it unless it’s a critical moment.
If you use this thing once, the other party will definitely be on guard next time.
Because Yichen was already quite proficient in the study of gunpowder, Ji Yunshu mentioned the matter of the pistol to him in his mind.
She didn't expect that the other party would actually do it.
Although it cannot be compared with the pistols of later generations, the finished product in her hand has undergone several improvements and is already very good.
No shot missed at close range.
The most important thing is the ammunition inside, which will explode by itself after hitting the target.
So no matter how skilled a fighter is, he will surely die after being shot.
Zhao Shen saw that she was wearing a fox fur cloak and looked furry. His heart softened and he rubbed her head: "Well, I will protect you."
Wujina watched the two people who were acting as if no one was around, and was struggling over whether she should stay away from them.
Fortunately, the ensuing battle ended quickly.
But in just a moment, Jingzhe helped Guxing capture another master.
At this point, all the men in black who broke into the mansion were wiped out.
Zhao Shen glanced at the bombed house and asked Ji Yunshu, "Want to move somewhere else?"
Ji Yunshu hesitated and said, "How about you go and rest first?"
Zhao Shen didn't know how long he had been traveling, and he must be very tired by now.
But there are still many things to do tonight, and Wujina has to leave immediately, so the agreement between them must be finalized first.
And my brother, I don’t know how he is doing over there?
Zhao Shen seemed to know what she was worried about, and took her hand and said, "I'll stay with you."
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to say, "Then let's go to my brother first."
Zhao Shen had no objection, but Wujina was anxious: "I want to go find Bilige first, and we can talk about other things later, okay?"
Perhaps realizing she no longer had any credibility with Ji Yunshu, she added solemnly, "I swear in the name of the King of Mobei that I will never break my promise again."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "My brother went to catch the spies of Prince Yong's Mansion hiding in Wuning. Maybe he has some news about your cousin. Wouldn't you like to go and listen?"
In fact, what Wujina thought before was right. This is Wuning, which has been under martial law these days. In addition, out of precaution against Prince Yong's Mansion, entry and exit are strictly checked.
No matter what methods Prince Yong's Mansion has, it is impossible to send the person out in such a short time.
So Helian Ye is most likely still in Wuning.
As long as he is still there, there is no need for Wujina to leave.
Ji Yunshu felt that the longer the night, the more dreams there would be, so it would be better to finalize many things as soon as possible.
She had a hunch that her brother wanted that place not just because of the mineral deposits.
Things like mineral deposits, even if obtained, will be taken over by the imperial court, and the imperial court will inevitably send people to manage them.
Iron ore is a sensitive substance and is not far from Youzhou.
It's very troublesome to be in a melon field with a plum tree.
Wujina thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I can only stay for one night. I must leave early tomorrow morning."
Bilige is important, and my cousin can’t ignore him.
Although she was angry at Helian Ye's behavior, he was her relative after all. Although he seemed to have done nothing, he would not have a good ending if he fell into the hands of the Ji family.
The other party now has one more bargaining chip.
After being blown by the cold wind for a long time, Wujina rubbed her eyebrows with a headache.
When they arrived at Ji Yunlan's residence, Ji Yunlan was sitting by the window admiring the snow.
Seeing Ji Yunshu, he smiled and asked, "Are you scared?"
As soon as the fight on Ji Yunshu's side ended, he received the news.
Ji Yunshu shook his head and pointed at Zhao Shen beside him and said, "He came back just in time."
Ji Yunlan found Zhao Shen much more pleasing to the eye than before: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's what I should do."
They had a good relationship as husband and wife, and Ji Yunlan was happy too. However, now was not the time to talk about that. He turned to Wu Rina and said, "Your Majesty, please come."
Wujina waved her hand and found a chair to sit down: "Stop talking about those trivial things and talk about business."
