Hiding behind Lu Yunxi, Jiang Yuzhu called out to Hong Xiu, "Come and hide together!"
We are not the target of the men in black, so we will not help either side. We must first protect ourselves.
Lu Yunxi looked stunned. He thought there was something wrong with his ears. What did Jiang Yuzhu think of him?
Silently swallowing a mouthful of blood, Lu Yunxi gave his men a wink.
He had originally planned to personally handle the transaction tonight, but Lu Yunxi was naturally perceptive and always felt that there was something fishy going on.
After much deliberation, he came to the appointment and instructed his men to do the transaction on his behalf.
Now seeing his men chasing someone, I guess something went wrong during the transaction.
His subordinates did not dare to take action, as it would easily reveal his identity if it aroused the suspicion of his opponents. Lu Yunxi immediately decided to use a self-torture trick.
"Today, you will all die!"
The men understood and rushed towards Lu Yunxi with machetes in hand.
Jiang Yuzhu frowned nervously and said, "Cousin, they are finally here."
Lu Yunxi: “…”
Nonsense, that's what he meant!
It is unreasonable to stay out of such a situation and it will only arouse suspicion for no reason.
Lu Yunxi blamed his men for not being smart enough and leading them to the wrong place.
"Don't be afraid, cousin, I'm here!"
Lu Yunxi held the guqin in her hand and pushed hard to push the man in black back.
Seeing this, the man in black refused to give in. He jumped up on tiptoe, and the machete in his hand flashed, emitting a sinister light: "You all have to go on the road!"
The man in black was extremely domineering, and the tip of his knife went straight towards Jiang Yuzhu.
In a breath, Lu Yunxi opened his arms and stood up to meet the attack. The tip of the knife pierced into the flesh, making a puffing sound.
Almost at the same time, the monks from the Huguo Temple arrived. The men in black showed no interest in fighting, and the two factions disappeared in an instant. They came quickly and left even faster.
Lu Yunxi covered her shoulder and groaned, then turned around and asked with concern: "Cousin, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Jiang Yuzhu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Cousin, I'm sorry. I was just too scared just now."
What bad intentions could she have? It was just her instinct to seek profit and avoid harm.
Just take it as a lesson for Lu Yunxi. She, Jiang Yuzhu, is not someone who can be manipulated at will.
"Who would have thought that you and I would encounter such a thing in the bamboo forest."
Lu Yunxi had no intention of pursuing the matter, but it sounded very irritating to Jiang Yuzhu's ears.
What does that mean? Blame her for asking him to meet her in the bamboo forest?
If it weren't for Lu Yunxi's entanglement, the crisis tonight could have been completely avoided.
After all, Lu Yunxi was insincere and Jiang Yuzhu cooperated with him in the performance. Not only did she get scared, but she also owed him a favor for nothing.
Lu Yunxi is the root of the trouble!
Jiang Yuzhu thought about it carefully and realized that the original owner really had a scum-attracting physique. Lu Yunxi and Feng Qing were not good people!
"Yuzhu, are you okay?"
Shen was sad to see the injured Lu Yunxi. Although she didn't want her son to be implicated, if it was Xie Zhao who came to the rescue, the couple's relationship would only be closer. But now, it gave her love rival a chance to show off.
Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were firm: "Mother, it's a blessing that my husband is not here. If he were here, I would definitely stand in front of him if he encountered danger!"
When it comes to polite words, Jiang Yuzhu has a lot to offer.
On the side, Lu Yunxi pretended to be weak and lay on the ground. He was so angry that his chest was hot and there was a fishy-sweet taste in his throat. He dared to say that he had never suffered such a great injustice in his life!
An hour later, in a small courtyard at the foot of the Huguo Temple, the man in black who was being chased took off his mask. His face was full of pits and his eyebrows and eyes were cold.
"Xie brother, your mask is not as good-looking as the little black face."
The man in black opposite also pulled down his mask. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his features were cold and hard, yet he had a bit of childishness.
Xie Zhao's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "Qianyu, why did you arrive in Beijing first?"
At dinner time, his mother Shen sent someone to deliver a message, and Xie Zhao decided to go to Huguo Temple.
On the way, Xie Zhao received a secret order and learned that there would be a transaction in Huguo Temple tonight.
The mastermind behind the scenes bribed the soldiers in the camp north of the city and wanted to buy the border town's defense map.
In order to track down clues, Xie Zhao had to change his identity. He met Mo Qianyu who was being hunted at the place where the two parties were trading.
Because Xie Zhao was familiar with the opponent's moves, he joined forces with Mo Qianyu, and the two were chased together.
Mo Qianyu showed a helpless look: "After my father got the news, he wanted to send me to fish in troubled waters and take the opportunity to lure out the spies from the north camp."
The spy behind the scenes hid very deeply and did not bring the city defense map for the transaction.
Mo Qianyu guessed that either the other party discovered the clues first and changed the plan, or it was a trap set.
"Thanks to Brother Xie for his help, otherwise I might have been exposed."
Mo Qianyu offered Xie Zhao a cup of tea instead of wine, "I was not careful enough and it seems that I have implicated an innocent person."
Xie Zhao agreed: "You are implicated my wife."
In addition to Jiang Yuzhu, there are also her mother Shen and mother-in-law Chen.
Mo Qianyu blushed and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Brother Xie, it's just that my sister-in-law..."
While fleeing, Mo Qianyu saw clearly that the beautiful woman was hiding behind a scholar and looked very weak.
He had heard rumors in the north that Jiang Yuzhu was a fickle womanizer. Now, she was having a secret meeting with a man outside and was caught by Xie Zhao.
Mo Qianyu's eyes flashed, as if he saw a green spot on Xie Zhao's head.
"In a situation like that, Yuzhu always has to find a tank."
Xie Zhao remained calm. "If you hadn't caused such a scene, I would have been there in the bamboo forest tonight."
Mo Qianyu showed a look of surprise: "Brother Xie, don't you have the possessiveness that a man should have?"
It turns out that Xie Zhao is only half of Jiang Yuzhu.
It turns out that women can also enjoy the happiness of having two husbands.
