Chapter 212 Rescued
Yun Shuyue, riding ahead, suddenly pulled on the reins and stopped. Her hearing was excellent; her ears twitched slightly. "There are sounds of fighting ahead."
A sense of foreboding rose in Su Jinze's heart. "Oh no, could it be that my father and the others have been attacked?"
Yun Shuyue's eyes flashed with murderous intent. Her aunt's little brat was very much to her liking. Anyone who dared to hurt her would have to ask her own knife first!
The two dared not delay any longer and immediately stepped forward, just in time to see Chen He kneeling on the ground.
Su Jinze was someone Chen He had watched grow up, and Chen He was an extremely good uncle to him. Now, these blind fools were taking advantage of Qiuqiu's danger to harm his family, which he cherished, which was a complete violation of his rights.
His pupils contracted, and he hurled his spear. The spear, as if it had eyes, pierced straight through the man's throat.
The pain Chen He had anticipated did not come. He clutched his abdominal wound and forced himself to look up: "Young...Young Master?"
Su Junyao was also seriously injured, and he was overjoyed to see Su Jinze and Yun Shuyue arrive. "Jinze!"
The leader of the men in black sneered, "No one can save you today! Even if we lose a handsome young general, we'll still be doing well!"
"Brothers, whoever cuts off Su Jinze's head will be richly rewarded by the Lord!"
The assassin leader's words spurred them on, and a group of people swarmed forward, while Su Junyao, the target, was ignored.
He seized the opportunity to save Chen He, glanced back at Su Jinze, and was about to speak when Su Jinze gave his father a wink. The father and son nodded to each other, Su Jinze stepped in front of the assassin leader, and Su Junyao, not daring to linger, immediately led Chen He and Qiuqiu away.
The assassin leader and Su Jinze were evenly matched for a time. Seeing Su Junyao disappear, the leader grew impatient and exposed his weaknesses. Su Jinze seized the opportunity, using his spear to deflect the assassin's sword and kicking him far away.
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" The assassin leader said, "Kid, I underestimated you."
Su Jinze: "It's not too late to know now. After I kill you, you can go down there and discuss how powerful I am with the others who were killed by me."
He would personally cut off his hand and give it to Uncle Chen as a gift!
Yun Shuyue felt ignored and, after kicking one person away, couldn't help but yell at the two of them, "Isn't this little auntie powerful enough? If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think I'm a pushover!"
The assassin leader coughed up another mouthful of blood, not because he was seriously injured, but because he was so angry!
What are these two people?! One calls himself "Grandpa," and the other calls himself "Grandma"!
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
"Pooh!"
"grass!"
The assassin leader clutched his left shoulder and roared furiously, "Pah! I'll throw your mother's darts!"
This woman is even more of a scoundrel than him!
Yun Shuyue ignored him; he'd soon find out how formidable her great-aunt was!
When Su Jinze saw Yun Shuyue, that despicable bastard, throw a hidden weapon, he knew that this young lady was truly enraged, and that the assassin was in big trouble!
He ignored the man and joined the battle to help Yun Shuyue. Half of their group had already been wiped out by Chen He and Su Junyao, and the remaining men were no match for the two at their peak. Within moments, many had died or been wounded.
They weren't necessarily loyal; anyone who's alive can be a leader. A few defeated henchmen threw down a smoke bomb and took the opportunity to escape.
Yun Shuyue waved her hand to clear the thick smoke. "They've escaped."
Su Jinze: "Don't pursue a desperate enemy; there's always someone ready to help."
The abandoned assassin leader collapsed weakly to the ground, his face green with rage. "You...you did what to me...uh...what did you do to me?!"
Su Jinze shrugged: "Who told you to offend someone you shouldn't have!"
He was afraid of Yun Shuyue when she got ruthless. This woman had loved tinkering with strange things since she was a child, and when he saw that the fourth brother was also studying strange gadgets, he felt that there must be some kind of special genetic inheritance in his maternal grandfather's family.
It's only because the Yun family has a pure and upright family tradition that Yun Shuyue would have gone completely astray!
She rarely used concealed weapons, but all her concealed weapons were coated with medicinal powder. They wouldn't kill someone, but they could take half their life.
The cold dagger pressed against his face, its sharp blade sliding freely. Yun Shuyue asked him in a low voice, "How do you want to die?"
"I...I don't want to...I don't want to die..."
"No, because you want my family to die."
Chiu Chiu and her uncle's family, including Uncle Chen. So he's bound to die today.
Just as he was about to make the cut, Su Jinze grabbed her wrist. "Wait."
"You want to plead for me?"
"No, I'll do it. Your smile is creepy, it's kind of scary."
Yun Shuyue wanted to curse, but she didn't dare because of her aunt.
Assassin Leader: Am I some kind of despicable person?!
After dealing with the assassin leader, the two continued on their way. Uncle Chen's injuries were severe, and they would definitely head to the Protectorate ahead, so they only needed to go there to find someone; there was no need for them to wander around aimlessly like headless flies.
Yun Shuyue looked at the human body parts Su Jinze had hung on the spear, then walked away in disgust, muttering under her breath, "Which of us is the pervert here?"
The governor of Huzhou was on patrol today when his guards reported that two strange men, covered in blood and carrying an unconscious child, had arrived at the city gate. Huzhou was a strategically important prefecture connecting the southwest and central cities, and the governor was about to be promoted. Now, even the smallest thing made him feel like someone was trying to harm him.
Upon hearing this strange news, he rushed over and, upon closer inspection, recognized the man as a familiar face: "Are you General Yun's son-in-law?"
Su Junyao hadn't heard such a familiar address in a long time, so he immediately nodded: "Lord Ma, I am Su Junyao."
Ma Cheng Shou realized that the man was now a marquis, no longer a naive young man pursuing the eldest daughter of the Yun family.
"I am late, please forgive me, Lord Marquis." Ma Cheng Shou was puzzled as to why Marquis Wenyang would come to this poor and remote place as Huzhou. His disheveled appearance clearly indicated that he had been chased and killed. "Brother, you are seriously injured, and Lord Marquis is also injured. Lord Marquis, please come with me back to the city garrison to recuperate!"
Su Junyao: "Thank you, Lord Ma. However, I have another request."
"Speak, my lord."
"My son Jinze is at Wangchen Mountain, ten miles away. I request that Lord Ma send someone to provide support."
"Rest assured, my lord, we will never allow General Su to suffer any harm within the territory of my Protectorate. You should return to the city with the guards and guard the mansion. I will personally lead men to provide support!"
"Thank you very much, Lord Ma!"
The assassins who tried to kill Su Junyao and his group were tight-lipped, and Su Jinze and Yun Shuyue couldn't get any useful clues out of them. They only found a dark, black token on the assassin leader, with nothing of value except for an unrecognizable pattern.
On their way to Huzhou, the two encountered Magistrate Ma, who had come to their aid with his troops. Yun Shuyue vaguely recognized him and immediately called out, "Uncle Ma!"
City Commander Ma was overjoyed, but upon seeing the hand on Su Jinze's spear, he couldn't help but lean back, pursing his lips: "General Su, Miss Yun, the Marquis has arrived at the City Commander's residence. Are you two injured?"
Su Jinze said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Ma. We are fine. We will return to Huzhou first, and my father will explain the rest to you in detail."
Ma Cheng Shou was once a general, but he had lived a life of ease for too long and hadn't seen bloodshed in a long time. He spurred his horse to make way, saying, "Please."
Dust billowed around them; Su Jinze knew this journey wouldn't go smoothly. He could only hope the Crown Prince would act quickly!
