Chapter 114: Assassination
Seeing Shen Haobai’s reaction, Shen Potian’s face suddenly darkened.
"What? Haven't you found her yet?" Shen Potian asked.
Shen Haobai choked, but thinking of what Shen Ningyuan had told him, he still gritted his teeth and answered Shen Potian’s question, “Father, the people I arranged to look for my cousin have searched around the Marquis’ Mansion, but have not found my cousin.”
"Not in the Marquis' Mansion?" Shen Potian's heart skipped a beat. "Where else could he have gone?"
"It's also possible that my cousin was not feeling well and went back to her sister's villa?" Shen Haobai made up an excuse.
Shen Potian nodded, “It’s possible. You can arrange for someone to go to the other courtyard to check and ensure the safety of your cousin.”
"Yes, father."
After Shen Haobai responded, Shen Potian jumped on the horse.
After riding on the horse, Shen Potian suddenly said again: “On the way back to the Marquis’ Mansion, pay more attention to your sister. I always feel that something will happen today.”
“I know.” Shen Haobai said in a deep voice: “Even if Daddy doesn’t say it, I will pay attention to it.”
There was a funeral at the Marquis's Mansion, and his mother asked him and his father to come over just to protect Shen Ningyuan.
"Well, let's go."
Shen Potian rode away on his horse, and Shen Haobai also climbed on the horse.
Controlling the horse, he kept up with the pace of the team.
At this time, Shen Ningyuan was sitting in the carriage, thinking in his mind, what exactly was Xie Wanzhou going to do by arranging the people?
At the same time, Xie Wanzhou and Luo Ziyuan were also not far away, following the team on their way back.
Luo Ziyuan asked impatiently: "When will Xie Yumin take action?"
Xie Wanzhou shook his head, "I don't know."
"He is your brother. You have raised him for so many years. Don't you know him very well?"
Xie Wanzhou rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Luo Ziyuan, do you have to be so sarcastic when talking to me?"
"Sometimes, I really want to tear your mouth apart." Xie Wanzhou said angrily, "It's like you haven't brushed your teeth for 300 years. It makes me sick as soon as you open your mouth."
“Xie Wanzhou, you are a venomous snake yourself, and you don’t allow me to say something yin and yang?”
"But you have to choose the time. We are doing serious business now!" Xie Wanzhou said coldly.
"I haven't started yet..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream was heard from the team.
"ah--"
"There's an assassin!"
Xie Wanzhou and Luo Ziyuan's faces changed instantly and they looked in the direction of the team.
A group of men in black emerged from the darkness and rushed towards the crowd.
Basically, they would chop anyone they saw and not let anyone live.
"Xie Yumin has gone crazy!" Luo Ziyuan exclaimed on the spot, "The funeral procession includes all the dignitaries from the capital. Isn't he afraid of retaliation in the future for killing people like this?"
Xie Wanzhou said in a cold voice: "He is a madman."
“Ahhh…” Luo Ziyuan was so angry that he kept yelling: “You are already crazy enough, but I didn’t expect that Xie Yumin, this lunatic, is even crazier than you! Forget it, I don’t want to say anything more. Stopping this lunatic is the most important thing!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ziyuan raised one hand and the men behind him flew out.
In the blink of an eye, he was fighting with this group of assassins who were ready to kill anyone they saw.
The sounds of fighting, killing, and screaming suddenly filled the air, alarming the people at the front of the team.
Everyone who heard the noise looked behind them and saw a group of assassins hacking at anyone they saw. They were so scared that they immediately ran away.
The originally neat team scattered in an instant.
Even the coachman was so frightened that he dropped the reins and ran for his life.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, with only a few carriages left standing there.
The incident happened too suddenly, and Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but be shocked.
Could it be that Xie Wanzhou’s plan was to arrange an assassination?
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan was about to lift the curtain without saying anything.
Lan Yin stopped her in fear: "Miss, don't go out, it's very dangerous outside!"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head: “It’s okay, I’ll just see what’s going on outside.”
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan lifted the curtain and was about to observe the situation outside.
Unexpectedly, an arrow shot directly towards her face.
Shen Ningyuan's expression paused.
The arrow was aimed at her!
"Miss!"
Lan Yin exclaimed, and without any hesitation, she pushed Shen Ningyuan away and used her body to block her.
"Lan Yin!"
The incident happened too suddenly, and Shen Ningyuan staggered after being pushed, and had no time to stop it.
Just when the arrow was about to hit Lan Yin.
A long sword came from the side and deflected the arrow with the sword blade.
Shen Ningyuan looked up and saw Shen Potian riding a horse, looking down at her.
“Daddy!”
Shen Potian did not respond and threw three swords on the carriage.
He said seriously, "Yuan'er, now is not the time to cry for help. You have some martial arts skills, so take those two girls with you and protect yourselves with swords. These assassins are obviously coming for us. Dad and your elder brother may not be able to protect your safety!"
"Okay, I got it!"
After Shen Potian and Shen Ningyuan finished their instructions, they turned around and went to deal with the other men in black.
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan didn't care about the danger in her heart.
Without any hesitation, he picked up the three swords thrown by Shen Potian and handed one to Lan Yin and Lu Ying respectively.
The two took the swords fearfully, and Shen Ningyuan instructed in a deep voice: "You two, hide in the carriage with swords, keep your bodies low, and if an assassin enters the carriage, immediately cut at the neck, do you hear me?"
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan jumped off the carriage.
"Miss, what about you?" Lan Yin asked fearfully.
"I'm fine, you guys take care of it first—"
Before he could finish his words, a man in black swung a big knife and slashed at Shen Ningyuan.
Shen Ningyuan's eyes straightened, and he dodged to the side, taking advantage of the moment when the man in black missed his target and chopped at his head.
puff--
With the sound of blood splattering, the black-clothed man's head was chopped off to the ground by Shen Ningyuan.
"Just like this, chop at the head, have you learned it?" Shen Ningyuan asked.
Lan Yin and Lu Ying nodded quickly, listened to Shen Ningyuan's words obediently, lowered the curtain and hid in the carriage.
Chen Ningyuan stood near the carriage, holding a long sword in his hand, and calmly dealt with the man in black who was coming to kill him.
This scene directly shocked Luo Ziyuan who was watching the battle not far away.
After a while, Luo Ziyuan smacked his lips and said, "Master protects this servant. This is the first time I have seen such a scene in my lifetime."
Hearing this, Xie Wanzhou pursed his lips and chuckled, without any surprise on his face.
Obviously, he was not surprised at all by Shen Ningyuan's behavior.
On the contrary, he felt that Shen Ningyuan should be such a person!
Who says that in this world, only slaves can protect their masters?
At this time, Luo Ziyuan asked in surprise: "Xie Wanzhou, the young widow was so calm when she killed someone. Is this not her first time to kill someone?"
Xie Wanzhou nodded and began to recount Shen Ningyuan's 'achievements': "In the Queen's palace, she killed the servant who spread rumors about her in public."
“In the back garden of the Marquis’ Mansion, I drowned my own sister-in-law with my own hands… By the way, when I buried her just now, the person in the small coffin was Shen Ningyuan’s sister-in-law.”
"And the accountant of the Marquis's Mansion, who was Chen's lover, was also killed by her maid."
There was an inexplicable sense of pride in his words.
Luo Ziyuan swallowed his saliva, dumbfounded: "After all this time, he is a repeat offender."
Xie Wanzhou nodded: "I guess so."
"By the way, aren't you going to help the young widow?" Luo Ziyuan asked again.
Xie Wanzhou shook his head, with an inexplicable pride and confidence between his brows: "She can do it alone."
