Chapter 57: Give to Axi
General An was startled by An Yunxi's sudden action, and felt his body suddenly become cold.
The cold wind blew outside the window, and General An's face turned pale.
"No?"
Seeing that the assassin was not hiding in the bed, An Yunxi squatted down and checked under the bed again.
General An questioned.
"An Yunxi, what on earth are you doing in Dad's room?"
General An's room is very clean.
In fact, there is no place to hide a living person.
An Yunxi stood by the bed, staring at General An's face with a sharp gaze.
"Tell me, where is the assassin hiding?"
"What assassin?"
General An asked back, with veins on his forehead throbbing with anger.
He carefully pulled the quilt back and covered himself again, "Why are you here in the middle of the night and not sleeping?"
An Yunxi narrowed her eyes, thinking of the secret room that General An had built in the mansion before.
There must be more than one secret room.
General An has secretly plundered a lot of money over the years, but on the surface he lives in a very tight situation.
He even asked his mother to use her dowry money to supplement the family income.
An Yunxi began to search General An's room everywhere, smashed the vase he placed on the table, and threw the books on the bookshelf all over the floor.
In the end, she still couldn't find it. After all, she was not a professional finder, so she could only rely on luck and her own eyes.
General An shouted to the outside: "Come here, send the young lady out."
"Yes, general."
All the guards in the mansion obeyed General An's order.
These people rushed in with weapons and lights, and their eyes fell on An Yunxi, all of them were embarrassed.
"Young lady, the general asked you to go out first."
An Yunxi said: "I said, I came to find the assassin. The assassin has not been caught yet, so I can't go out."
General An snorted coldly.
"Besides you and me, there is no one else in this room. An Yunxi, do you suspect that your father and I are assassins?"
An Yunxi rolled his eyes at him.
"You are worse than an assassin."
General An was stunned and said angrily, "Tell me clearly, what do you mean by that?"
An Yunxi curled her lips and said, "The assassin doesn't care about his life, but you don't care about your shame."
Seeing An Yunxi contradicting him like this, General An got up from the bed in anger.
"Bring me the family rules. Today, I will teach my daughter a lesson!"
A guard came over and advised, "General, your injury has not healed yet. You need to stay in bed and rest. It's better not to move around."
General An was furious. He glanced at the long sword at his waist and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull it out.
With a slam, the long sword came out of the sheath, emitting a shimmering light in the candlelight, and the blade was cold and sinister.
"An Yunxi, is this how you talk to your father now?"
An Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "I don't really want to talk to a beast."
The guards around were stunned.
The eldest lady's mouth was really infuriating.
If General An was still not angry, then he must be sick .
As expected, the next moment, everyone saw General An's face, which was red with anger.
His hand holding the knife was shaking.
The moment before, he just wanted to scare An Yunxi.
But at this moment, he really wanted to kill her.
His reason collapsed for a moment, and General An raised the knife in his hand and chopped at An Yunxi.
Outside the room.
Mrs. Du, who had heard the noise a long time ago and rushed over with people, saw this scene with her own eyes.
General An pointed his knife at his daughter.
When a person is extremely frightened, their mind will go blank.
Mrs. Du's legs went limp and she fell directly to the ground.
Fortunately, a servant supported her and she was not injured.
When she came to her senses and got up from the ground, her legs were limp due to fear. Mrs. Du's voice trembled: "Miss, what happened
to Miss?" "Madam, Miss is fine, don't worry."
Mrs. Du's mind was buzzing. She took a few quick steps to the door, but there was no blood red as she had imagined.
An Yunxi was still standing there intact.
And General An's knife hit the beam next to him, leaving a very deep knife mark.
After his seriously injured body barely made one cut, he was already exhausted and could only barely stand there.
Seeing Du enter the room, he was stunned, and the knife in his hand instantly fell to the ground, making a sound of iron hitting gold and stone.
"Xi'er, Xi'er!"
Du quickened her pace and hugged An Yunxi.
Her face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was frightened.
"I'm fine, mother."
An Yunxi held her mother's extremely cold hand, and then raised her eyes to look at General An who also had an ugly expression.
The other party was a little at a loss and said: "Madam, I just scared her just now, I didn't really want to hurt her. This child is too annoying, and I am helpless."
The guards watching around all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Because they were nearby just now and saw General An take action with their own eyes.
He really wanted to chop An Yunxi.
If An Yunxi hadn't dodged quickly, the knife would not have hit the pillar, but An Yunxi's neck.
An Yunxi had already noticed the movement outside the yard.
Mrs. Du brought a lot of people over, so she certainly noticed it.
That's why she deliberately angered General An at this critical moment.
Even if he was not the mastermind of the assassination, General An knew about it and even covered for him.
She must make her mother completely disappointed in such a person, so that her mother would not be sad after his death.
Mrs. Du grabbed An Yunxi's hand, turned her head and looked at General An with red eyes.
"I saw it with my own eyes, you want to kill my daughter!"
General An hurriedly said: "Madam, you really misunderstood, if you don't believe me, ask other people, how can I kill people in public!"
Mrs. Du has a gentle personality. She
has never been so angry.
Her thin figure blocked An Yunxi behind her, and the look in her eyes when she looked at General An no longer had any emotion.
"I kept you in my house to recover because of our long-term love, but you wanted to harm my daughter, Anqing. I was blind to fall in love with you!"
Aunt Liu's confession and everything that happened tonight were a double blow to Mrs. Du.
The little affection she had for General An disappeared at this moment
. An Yunhe also heard the movement outside the yard.
He woke up from a light sleep, put on his clothes and rushed to the main courtyard, but as soon as he left the room, he smelled a bloody smell.
A tall man in a black robe stood in his yard, with a corpse lying at his feet.
Ling Fengxun's thin face was stained with a trace of blood. He raised his eyes slightly and looked at An Yunhe.
"It's not convenient for me to go there. Please send this person to Axi."
