Shen Jiao dared not let her guard down, so she quickly changed to another route.
Although she is the leader of the martial arts alliance, she does not think she is invincible.
Just like someone who gets first place in an exam, you can say they're impressive, but can you say they're the most impressive?
That's not entirely true. There are many hidden masters out there, and there might be many talented individuals who don't like to join the crowd and didn't participate in the martial arts tournament.
Perhaps shocked by the tyrant's tragic past, Shen Jiao gradually became more cautious. She could be carefree when she was with Ji Yan, but now she was all alone.
She needs to protect herself so as not to cause trouble for those who are worried about her.
Although she was being very cautious, Shen Jiao had to admit one thing: she was lost.
The main problem is that the client is too stingy and poor. The room layout is like a copy and paste. It's not that it's 70% similar, but it's exactly the same.
She remembered there was a crooked tree, but now she was faced with two crooked trees!
Without any coins, Shen Jiao had to count her coins. Suddenly, she heard a loud "crack".
She was all too familiar with that sound; it was just like when Gu An cracked his whip.
Shen Jiao: ...What luck! I ended up in the client's dark room by some twist of fate. Maybe I should burn some incense and pray to Buddha before I go out in the future.
Get out of here quickly, get out of here quickly.
"Bah! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! I'd like to see how long the Third Young Master Shen of the Marquis of Anbo's mansion can hold out." At this moment, the executioner spat and cursed.
Shen Jiao paused in her steps.
The Marquis of Anbo's residence?
Young Master Shen?
Shen Qingfeng?
Is this the legendary "original family law"?
Ever since they met Shen Qingye, the Shen family members have been like zombies from Plants vs. Zombies, coming in wave after wave.
Shen Jiao hesitated.
If she knew nothing, she certainly wouldn't care. After all, she's just a clay idol now, even though she's mixed with some cement, making her a little hard to melt and cross the river.
The problem is, she has a good impression of Shen Qingcheng; it's not exactly brotherly intimacy, but she doesn't dislike him either.
However, the behavior of Shen Qingye and Shen Yu is really a headache. Who knows what kind of person Shen Qingfeng is?
Because she didn't retain the original body's memories, facing the Shen family was like opening a blind box.
After thinking for three seconds, Shen Jiao decided to make a quick getaway.
The sky is vast, the earth is vast, but self-preservation is paramount.
"Crack—" Another loud noise.
"Young Master Shen, you're quite the arrogance one, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you know your place? How dare you disrespect your master like that? I'll beat you to a pulp!"
The sound of the whip lashing against her body was especially jarring in the night, and the image of her skin being torn and bleeding flashed through Shen Jiao's mind.
The man was still cursing: "I heard that Prince Shen is also a tough guy. Young Master Shen, do you think he will choose you, his own brother, or choose to serve a tyrant!"
Shen Jiao: ...What's wrong with Ji Xiao? Why does he kidnap hostages in pairs?
That makes sense, as Shen Qingcheng is the General stationed in the South and holds military power. If we can get Shen Qingcheng's support, we will increase our efforts to crack down on the tyrant.
But since he's a hostage, and you've whipped Shen Qingfeng into this state, aren't you afraid of angering the young master Shen? How are you going to negotiate?
To be honest, the client was really not very smart.
"Get the hell out of here! If you want to hit me, then hit me! Stop talking nonsense! If you've got the guts, then beat your grandpa to death!" The boy suddenly spoke, his words extremely infuriating, and sure enough, he received two more lashes.
Shen Jiao: "..."
I understand. It's not necessarily that the client wanted to be punished, but Shen Qingfeng definitely asked for it.
"It doesn't hurt, ouch... Grandpa doesn't feel any pain at all!" Shen Qingfeng continued stubbornly, "Use a little more force, didn't you eat? Coward!"
Shen Jiao: "..." If it doesn't hurt, then don't hiss.
The people inside were probably furious; the cracking of the whip grew louder and more urgent...
...
Shen Qingfeng was whipped for nearly two hours. At first, it was just a minor lesson, but later, because of his foul mouth, it escalated into a one-sided humiliation.
Although he was in excruciating pain, his bones, his soul, and the spirit of the Shen family will forever remain indomitable!
Even in death, he died with strength.
He cursed for as long as he was whipped. Because he hadn't had water for many days, his throat was extremely dry. He was a little tired of the soldiers' insults and didn't want to pay any more attention.
But when the soldier steered the conversation toward his elder brother, he really couldn't stand it.
Shen Qingfeng was so angry that his veins bulged, and he began to fight back.
"It doesn't hurt, ouch... Grandpa doesn't feel any pain!" he stubbornly continued.
"Put some effort into it, haven't you eaten? You coward!"
Shen Qingye could clearly feel the whip lashing harder after he said those words, and his vision blurred.
He thought to himself that he had only lived for seventeen years, and this might be the end of his life.
I wonder if his remains were still intact when my elder brother found him.
Mother will cry, won't she? She loves to cry, and when she does, it's like the March rain—it just won't stop.
And that person, even though she's annoying...
"I must be dying, I can't even feel the whip anymore," Shen Qingye murmured.
He suddenly looked up and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "I must be dying, otherwise, how could I see the moon in this dark, sunless little room?"
"Is it possible that you're not hallucinating because you're about to die, but that I've actually ripped the roof tiles off?" Shen Jiao said while tying up the soldiers.
Originally, I intended to do good deeds anonymously, but Shen Qingfeng's mouth is too gossipy!
Shen Jiao didn't rush in through the main gate. She first climbed onto the roof and used stones to hit the soldiers' pressure points, knocking them unconscious. Then she came in through the door and tied them up like caterpillars.
Having the experience of binding Guard Number Two before, she was very skilled at binding soldiers, which greatly improved her efficiency.
