Chapter 41 It is me
Jiang Xun turned around upon hearing the voice, but before he could react, he was knocked off balance by Shen Jiasui.
"My Lord, be careful!"
The subordinate next to him was startled and drew out the knife from his waist.
Jiang Xun stood still and moved his feet, but covered Shen Jiasui behind him tightly, and then ordered in a cold voice:
"Let's go. No one is allowed to get close. Tell Princess Huaizhen that the person she's looking for is here. Please send someone to pick him up as soon as possible."
The subordinate was stunned at first, then instinctively lowered his eyes to look, and saw a wet and dirty skirt exposed behind Jiang Xun, and its original color could no longer be distinguished.
He was startled, and then he realized that the voice he just heard was indeed a female voice.
This subordinate was also smart. He immediately put away his sword, bowed and stepped back, and said, understanding what he meant:
"Yes, I will go right away. I didn't hear anything."
Jiang Xun couldn't help but frown after hearing the second half of the sentence, and finally shook his head lightly.
Last year he encountered an assassination attempt and suffered serious injuries. The next day, his teacher sent four followers, named East, West, South, and North Wind respectively.
When I met Miss Shen in the Imperial College that day, it was the South Wind that was following her, but today it was the North Wind that was accompanying her.
Bei Feng was born in the military and was very skilled in martial arts, so he was often accompanied by others when he went out.
When Bei Feng had disappeared from sight, Jiang Xun turned around and saw that most of his outer robe had been pressed under Shen Jiasui, but her head was still covered.
Jiang Xun hesitated for a moment, but still squatted down and called softly, "Miss Chen?"
Snap——
Shen Jiasui suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Xun's wrist, which was resting on his knees, using all his strength.
Jiang Xun frowned, not only because of the severe pain in his wrist, but also because Shen Jiasui's palm was burning like charcoal.
At this time, Shen Jiasui slowly raised her head, and her outer robe gradually slipped off, revealing her disheveled face.
Her vision was blurry and her will almost collapsed, but she still managed to hold on with the overwhelming hatred.
"Lu Yunzheng, pay with your life, I want you to pay with your life!"
Shen Jiasui gritted his teeth and spoke, his voice already hoarse.
Jiang Xun's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, but he suppressed his thoughts and leaned forward again, speaking solemnly:
"Miss Shen, my name is Jiang Xun, Princess Huaizhen will send someone to pick you up immediately."
"Jiang Xun......."
Shen Jiasui repeated it in a murmur, and his thoughts suddenly turned, as if he was again in front of the Dali Temple, in a miserable state, kneeling and begging desperately.
She raised her head with great effort, but her vision was as blurry as in her previous life, and she couldn't see the face of the person in front of her clearly.
Her eyes were sore, "Master Jiang..."
"That's me."
Jiang Xun responded calmly.
Shen Jiasui finally let go of Jiang Xun's wrist. She wanted to say something, but she was already exhausted and fell to the ground.
Jiang Xun lowered his head slightly and just saw Shen Jiasui's right hand stretched out on the ground. His five fingers were slender, but there were thick calluses on the inside of his index finger.
Those are the marks left by years of handling weapons.
He glanced at his wrist again. The severe pain had disappeared, but there was a clear red mark of five fingers left on it.
What is the deep hatred between Lu Yunzheng and the Shen family?
If it was just a matter of breaking off the engagement, Shen Jiasui would not have said the word "pay with one's life".
Jiang Xun's mind was racing. Seeing that Shen Jiasui seemed to be unconscious, he hesitated whether to help her sit up.
Just then, there was a noise coming from not far away.
"My Lord has ordered that no one can pass through."
"I'm here to look for someone on the orders of the princess!"
The person who came had an urgent voice, a female voice, but she refused to introduce herself.
Hearing this, Jiang Xun lifted up his outer robe again to cover Shen Jiasui's face, then quickly stood up and stepped back, saying loudly:
"Let them in."
After a while, footsteps approached, and it was a lady who moved quickly and looked anxious.
She immediately saw a person lying on the ground and her face turned pale instantly.
Jiang Xun took a step forward, blocking the two of them, lowered his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "Madam, please stop. May I ask who you are looking for?"
No wonder Jiang Xun was so cautious. The thieves’ plan failed today, and the most crucial person was Shen Jiasui.
Now that he has encountered this, he must protect Shen Jiasui no matter what.
"I'm her mother!"
The person who came was almost crying. It was Ji Wan.
Just now she was sitting in the backyard chatting with the ladies, when suddenly the nanny beside Princess Rong came to look for her.
She couldn't help muttering something in her heart, and when Princess Rong told her what happened in the backyard with a grim look on her face, she was so frightened that she immediately came out to look for someone.
Ji Wan was also careful, and like Jiang Xun, she never mentioned Shen Jiasui's name.
Today's matter is of no trivial importance. It would be best if Shen Jiasui could clear herself of all responsibility. Even if she cannot stay out of it, the fewer people who know about her involvement, the better.
When Jiang Xun heard this, Yue Ju glanced at Ji Wan's face, and seeing that she looked anxious and didn't seem to be pretending, he immediately nodded and made way.
Ji Wan's eyes were red. She took three or two steps forward, lifted up her outer robe and saw Shen Jiasui's miserable and weak appearance. Tears immediately rolled down her cheeks.
She leaned over and picked up Shen Jiasui sideways, still covering her tightly with her outer robe.
Jiang Xun raised his hand and pointed forward, "Madam, come out from here and turn left at the second intersection, which is the changing room. There are already people there."
Ji Wan nodded. She no longer had the mood to talk to others. She just said "thank you" and left in a hurry.
Jiang Xun waited until Ji Wan's back disappeared before he stepped out of the path.
At this time, there were people guarding everywhere. Bei Feng was standing next to a male corpse. When he saw Jiang Xun, he immediately stood up and said, "Sir!"
Jiang Xun waved his hand, walked to the male corpse and squatted down, stretched out two fingers and gently felt the male corpse's jaw, temples, behind the ears, and neck, and said in a calm voice:
"Tell me in detail what happened just now."
Bei Feng immediately squatted down and spoke in a deep voice.
Shen Jiasui's call just now was very timely. The guards of the palace moved upon hearing the sound and quickly caught up with the man.
At this time, the man had been forced to the vicinity of the mansion wall. Seeing that he could not move forward, he suddenly flew towards the wall, trying to escape.
Upon seeing this, Bei Feng immediately threw the long knife in his hand, but because he wanted to capture the man alive, he only stabbed the man in the thigh.
Half of his shoulder was sticking out of the courtyard wall, but he fell back in pain. Knowing that he had no way to escape, he rushed directly towards the spears of the palace guards and ended his life.
Jiang Xun nodded when he heard this and stood up at this moment.
He checked carefully and found that the man was not wearing a human skin mask.
Bei Feng stood up, and Jiang Xun asked again, "You just said that the people from the East City Military Command have been wandering outside the wall for a long time?"
Bei Feng nodded immediately. "Yes, I saw the thief trying to escape, and I was worried that someone might be waiting outside, so I went outside to check."
"I didn't expect to meet the people from the Military Command. I learned that they patrolled the city today and walked back and forth outside the Prince's Mansion several times."
Jiang Xun lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, his face showing no emotion at all, he just said calmly:
"Let their deputy commander come to see me."
