Chapter 2 Chapter 2 will also make him pay the price for kidnapping you. ...
Purple moss and green water chestnuts, rain and mist linger in the forest.
In this silent confrontation, only the boy holding the umbrella remained calm.
When Yun Qin asked that question, the accomplice who was holding Jiang Daiyi's neck had already figured out how to use her to threaten Yun Qin to escape.
Jiang Daiyi was held at the vital point by the assassin, and she looked at her brother with weak eyes, looking pitiful and confused about her situation.
Yun Qin looked at the girl from a distance. She seemed to be frightened and her cherry red lips were shaking uncontrollably. But she was just afraid that the boy would notice her, so she pretended to be afraid to hide it. In fact, she was quietly reminding the assassin,
"Yun Qin's strength is unfathomable. We cannot fight him head-on. We cannot kill Lu Zhao today. Bring back another piece of intelligence and help me explain it to Lord Que."
Jiang Daiyi's mission this time was considered a failure. She was afraid that her family would be implicated, and she had to have an explanation to her master.
If the assassin didn't hurt her and ran away directly, she might be able to cooperate with him and help him escape. But if he used her to threaten Yun Qin, he would probably be chopped into eight hundred pieces by his secret guards.
The assassin didn't dare to act rashly. Jiang Dai remained calm and said, "Do as I say."
Yun Qin was too far away to hear what Jiang Dai meant to say, but he still noticed the tiny movements of the girl's lips.
His eyes were like warm jade meeting the light, becoming a little more transparent. Then he walked slowly forward with an extremely elegant posture, like a patient, gentle and casual hunter, ready to lure his prey into a trap at any time.
"My sister is safe, and you can be safe too."
The assassin was frightened and took a step back. He grabbed Jiang Daiyi's neck and tried to threaten the young man with an unfathomable aura, "You'd better not move!"
Yun Qin raised his eyebrows slightly and stopped as he was told, looking extremely elegant and willing to talk.
The drizzle of spring rain fell, and the already fragile girl's face became even paler. She frowned and trembled slightly, as if she was extremely afraid of the danger behind her.
At this time, a carriage drove over from behind Yunqin. Judging from Yunqin's reaction, it was the one he asked the secret guard to prepare, as expected.
"The road to Yanling is long. I need to take my sister home. Please let her come over."
Yunqin's tone was calm and his expression remained gentle.
Jiang Daiyi understood that hidden beneath his appearance was unwarranted arrogance.
Finally, before Yunqin's patience ran out, she was pushed out by a fierce palm wind. As Jiang Daiyi guessed, Yunqin did not chase the assassin, but chose to save her first.
Her face must not look good at this moment, and she looked like she might die at any moment.
Yun Qin held Jiang Daiyi firmly and helped her stand up. Then he drew out the sword of the secret guard closest to him, and used his internal force to shatter the sword blade with his finger bones. With a faint look in his eyes, he waved his sleeves and used his internal force to shoot all the fragments towards the assassin.
The broken sword pierced through the leaves and rain. By the time the assassin realized it and wanted to dodge, it was too late. The blood melted into the rain on the ground, ending this senseless farce.
The assassin died instantly. Jiang Daiyi was shocked: "Brother just said to protect him..."
Yun Qin tilted the umbrella towards Jiang Daiyi, ensuring that the girl would not get wet. His gaze was fixed on the girl's wound. "I did say that, but only if he doesn't hurt you."
The maid put the cloak she brought with her on Jiang Daiyi and said worriedly, "Miss, you left the city without permission this time and made the master very worried."
The secret guards dragged the assassin's body away to be disposed of. Afterwards, Jiang Daiyi heard Yun Qin's clear and gentle voice instructing the secret guards, "Use the new Gu I've raised on the assassin we captured outside the city. Once you find his accomplices, there's no need to return; kill them immediately."
"Yes, sir."
Everyone knows that Yun Qin is protective of his younger sister, and his younger sister is his Achilles' heel.
Jiang Daiyi glanced at the assassin who was dragged away. When Yun Qin attacked just now, it was so smooth that Jiang Daiyi only saw the afterimage after he waved his sleeve.
Before she could even blink, the assassin fell to the ground, blood splattering on the spot.
After the matter was over, Yun Qin handed the umbrella to Jiang Daiyi and asked her to leave first. The young man was tall and slender, much taller than Jiang Daiyi. When he stood in front of Jiang Daiyi with the umbrella, he was as slender and upright as a green pine.
He said softly, "Get on the carriage first and let Lu Wan treat your wound. We will go back to find Grandpa Lu later."
Jiang Daiyi's face, frail and gentle like spring water, seemed to have not yet faded from fear: "Brother, have you captured other assassins?"
"Just an assassin. I will deal with him."
Jiang Daiyi sometimes regretted not choosing another way to get along with Yunqin when she was a child. Instead, she pretended to be a weak little white flower and stuck behind him all day long, asking her brother to improve her favorability, which made him act like a sister-protecting maniac now.
Now that the assassin has fallen into Yunqin's hands, he will have to spit out everything he should and shouldn't.
Jiang Daiyi was worried that the assassin would give her up because he couldn't stand the torture, so she had to find a way...
"younger sister."
Yun Qin looked at the girl who was not even as tall as his shoulder and called her softly.
Jiang Daiyi raised her face, which was unable to conceal her beauty.
Yunqin asked her, "What were you talking about with the assassin just now?"
He still noticed it.
Jiang Daiyi has been very careful. Yunqin is sharp-minded. Now that he has discovered her, she can't just make excuses and arouse his suspicion. Yunqin is the best knife, and this knife is now used by her.
Before she achieves her goal, she must hold the knife firmly in her hand to maximize its value.
The oil-paper umbrella in Yunqin's hand, dyed with ink-blue, was rustled by the raindrops. His figure blocked the moonlight and enveloped Jiang Daiyi in shadow.
This feeling is like a prisoner being locked up in a dark room without sunlight. The room is depressing, scary, and unknown. Whenever these negative emotions accumulate little by little and are infinitely amplified, the person's defenses will be broken in one fell swoop.
He pressed, "Answer me."
Jiang Daiyi stepped back slightly, her watery eyes rippling with tears as if she was frightened by Yun Qin.
"Brother..."
"What are you talking about with the assassin? I don't understand..."
Yun Qinqinghe's voice was clearly gentle, but his words seemed to be setting a trap: "Do you know that assassin?"
Raindrops fell from the brim of the black umbrella, landing in puddles on the bluestone slabs, creating ripples and reflecting the image of a young girl with a beautiful appearance but a somewhat pale face.
Jiang Daiyi looked even weaker in the chilly March wind. Her brows were slightly furrowed, her eyes were watery, and her tone was extremely innocent.
"Brother is acting strangely today," she sighed in a voice that sounded aggrieved. "Brother was seriously injured and couldn't come to meet Grandpa Lu. To help him out, I disguised myself as an ordinary girl to cover up my tracks and come to Xiaojun City in his place."
The girl continued in a gloomy tone, "But I was kidnapped by an assassin right after I met Grandpa Lu, and then I met my brother who came to rescue me."
"Shouldn't you explain to me why you, who was originally seriously injured, suddenly appeared here?"
"Could it be that my brother, still suspicious of me, deliberately deceived me?"
Yunqin observed her expression.
The girl continued to accuse him, "First, you pushed me into a dangerous situation, and now you're questioning me with these strange words."
Jiang Daiyi knew that Yun Qin was beginning to be suspicious, but as long as she didn't reveal any flaws, he couldn't do anything to her.
a long time.
Yun Qin said softly: "I was not considerate enough. I apologize to my sister. Get on the carriage first. Your injuries should be aggravated."
The girl seemed angry. She did not take Yunqin's umbrella. She turned around and left in the rain as if she was deliberately annoyed, holding up her skirt and running towards the carriage.
Yun Qin stared at her back, and after watching her get on the carriage, he took back the umbrella he had already handed out. He didn't mind at all that his clothes and hair were stained by rain, and turned around calmly to arrange the next task for the secret guards.
The carriage was warm and the decorations were simple and elegant. Even though the Yun family was considered wealthy, they still couldn't be extravagant in such troubled times. Moreover, Yun Qinren was well-known, so it was not good to show off his wealth too much.
Jiang Daiyi lowered the curtain to block out the cool air outside.
Her face did not look very good. In the opinion of the maid Lu Wan, it was because of the injury, but only Jiang Daiyi herself knew that this was the first time in the past seven years that Yun Qin suspected her to the point of setting up a trap to test her. This was an extremely dangerous beginning.
Even though it was the first time they met, Yun Qin never suspected her. She was just the poor girl Yun Ai from the Yun family who had been lost since childhood.
But now it’s different.
Given the current situation, she can't wait another seven years.
"girl……"
Lu Wan took out the medicine box and planned to treat Jiang Daiyi's shoulder wound.
Jiang Daiyi sat against the wall of the car and didn't move. Lu Wan didn't dare to pull her away to treat her injuries. When she was in trouble, the curtain of the car was lifted again.
Yun Qin, who was under the car, did not get out. His gentle eyes were looking at Jiang Daiyi.
Lu Wan stammered, "The girl refuses to treat her injuries..."
Jiang Daiyi turned her face away to avoid Yun Qin's sight.
"Stop being so petty." Yun Qin's voice was gentle.
Jiang Daiyi originally didn't want to talk to him, but Yun Qin's next words were like a bolt from the blue.
"Grandpa Lu is dead. We have to go back and find out what happened. Let Lu Wan treat the wound, and then we'll go back."
Dead?
Jiang Daiyi rarely showed her true expression at this moment, and she looked at Yun Qin in shock.
"How could Grandpa Lu die?"
“It has not yet been clarified.”
When Yun Qin was chasing the assassin, he left a group of experts behind to protect him. But just now, the secret guard reported that A Yu was unconscious and her injuries were unknown. Grandpa Lu and those experts were all killed.
The only one who could kill all the masters in such a short time at the same time, besides the Lord of Tianque, was...
A person appeared in Jiang Daiyi's mind.
In the small county city.
Rainwater and blood accumulated around the house, and there were many corpses of secret guards gathered in one place.
Even though Jiang Daiyi had trained in Tianque, she couldn't help but feel a chill when she saw the tragic scene under her feet.
There were several thin silver hooks on the ground, one end of which was connected to a corpse. It seemed that when the secret guard was defeated and was about to retreat, he was forcibly pulled back by these hooks, cutting off his retreat.
Such behavior clearly meant that they did not want to leave any chance for those present to escape.
"Sir, we found it, inside the house." The secret guard came to report the situation.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the small county town was shrouded in a haze.
Grandpa Lu had his power drained away and died in a brutal manner, leaving him unrecognizable. If it weren't for his clothes, it would be impossible to recognize him.
This was what Lu Wan relayed to Jiang Daiyi.
When Jiang Daiyi saw the tragic scene outside the house, her face changed immediately. Yun Qin didn't let her stay there any longer, so she went back to the carriage and waited.
A Yu is an orphan picked up by Yun Qin. Because she is quick-witted, she is kept with Grandpa Lu to be raised.
The reason why Ayu was able to escape this time might be that the man was not cruel enough to harm a child, or maybe there was still some use for Ayu. Whatever conspiracy there was, we must find out.
Lu Wan opened the bundle containing clean clothes.
"Miss, it will be quite a while before the Master returns. Please change your wet clothes first."
Jiang Daiyi suddenly no longer had the energy to pretend. From Tianque to the Yun family, she watched one person after another die every day, both familiar and unfamiliar.
And there is Grandpa Lu who suddenly passed away.
She went from being extremely frightened at the beginning, to becoming numb, to getting used to it, to being able to guess people's minds, to starting to calculate, and trying to adapt to the rules of survival here.
She was even beginning to lose track of what her world looked like. This was a terrifying beginning.
"Luwan." Jiang Daiyi called the maid beside her.
Lu Wan was busy tidying up the robe she was about to help Jiang Daiyi change into. "What's wrong, girl?"
Jiang Daiyi said slowly, "What would you do if you encountered difficulties that were probably insurmountable?"
Lu Wan didn't understand why Miss Yun's question was this, but she answered seriously, "I will find someone who can help me. Miss, are you in trouble? You can ask Master Yunqin for help. He treats you very well and will help you solve any problem you encounter."
Jiang Daiyi shook her head and said, "Give me the clothes."
Lu Wan is in a weak position, so when encountering difficulties, the first thing she thinks of is relying on the strong, but Jiang Daiyi does not want to be a weak person.
She wanted to become someone who could control her own destiny, rather than a flower that was pampered in Yunqin's palm.
After a night of tossing and turning, the sky gradually turned pale and the rain stopped.
After changing her clothes, Jiang Daiyi lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside.
She saw Yunqin and Ayu coming over. Ayu's eyes were red, as if she had been crying. It must be because of Grandpa Lu's death.
When Ayu woke up, Yunqin tried to ask Ayu who had committed such a murder, but Ayu seemed to have lost her memory and could not say a word. She seemed to have not yet come to her senses. Until she saw Jiang Daiyi in the carriage, she suddenly ran towards her.
When Jiang Daiyi saw Ayu running over, she got off the carriage. She was about to comfort Ayu when Ayu suddenly pointed at her like crazy.
"It's you, it's you who killed Grandpa Lu!"
When Jiang Daiyi heard this, she stared at Ayu and the smile immediately disappeared. There was a chill in her eyes. Ayu shuddered and suddenly did not dare to blame this weird sister anymore.
The morning mist gathered, and the birds that had been beaten by the rain all night circled low with their heavy wings flapping.
Yun Qin, who was walking slowly, seemed not to have heard what A Yu said, but a jade pendant with excellent color and texture appeared in his hand.
When Jiang Daiyi saw the jade pendant, the coldness in her eyes instantly faded away, and was replaced by uneasiness. The jade pendant was a gift given to her by the young master of Tianque, and now it suddenly appeared in Yunqin's hands.
Yun Qin approached, "Sister, do you have any impression of this jade pendant?"
Jiang Daiyi took a look and pretended not to know: "No."
Suspicion welled up in Yun Qin's eyes as his eyelashes drooped slightly. He calmly said to the slightly panicked girl, "This jade pendant originally belonged to the Yun family, but was lost while fleeing. I never expected it to become Grandpa Lu's relic now."
This is really strange.
