Chapter 60 Humiliation
Sui Yan and Jiang Enhe shuddered: "You scared me!"
Wu Shi stood in front of the two of them, clasped his fists and said, "Sorry for disturbing the young master."
In the blink of an eye, the two sides started fighting without saying a word.
Sui Yan and Jiang En and the secret guards they brought were all wearing ordinary servants' uniforms. When they fought with the assassin in an extremely eye-catching nightgown, the swords flashed and shadowed, and every blow was deadly and brutal.
There was a clang of weapons colliding, and sometimes the sound of two swords slashing against each other was so frightening that it made people's teeth ache.
Sui Yan and Jiang Enhe were protected by a few people who had nothing to do. They looked at the chaos in front of them and were completely confused.
Sui Yan whispered, "How many people did you bring with you?"
Jiang Enhe also whispered: "Eight."
Sui Yan said: "I brought ten."
The two men roughly counted their own people involved in the melee and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Where did the extra five people come from?"
Jiang Enhe said "Hi" and said casually: "Who cares? He is not an enemy anyway. Maybe he was sent here secretly by your brother because he is worried about you."
Sui Yan looked thoughtfully for a long time, then tilted his head and was about to state his conclusion when he saw Jiang Enhe kick open the wooden door with sawdust flying on the ground, shouting "銜抜抜" and ran in.
The small house had already been turned into a mess by the assassins. No, it was possible that it was already in a mess and no amount of damage could ruin it.
Jiang En and Chong walked in, and when their eyes adjusted to the dimness in the room, they saw a figure lying in the corner, his life or death unknown.
Jiang Enhe's legs went weak and he almost lost his balance, but was helped up by Sui Yan who caught up with him.
Jiang Enhe murmured: "Tianyi..."
He pushed Sui Yan's hand away and stumbled over, then half-lifted Xianye gently and placed him against his arm. He only took one look at him and his breathing began to tremble.
Xianye closed her eyes tightly, and her pretty face was covered with mud from somewhere. When Jiang Enhe helped her up, she opened her eyes weakly and stared at him for a long time before she seemed to recognize him.
Seeing her so weak, Jiang Enhe felt as if his heart was being squeezed by something, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Yiye!"
The breath was as soft as a thread: "Mr. Jiang..."
Jiang Enhe grabbed her slender hand and held it tightly: "It's me, I'm here, I'm here to save you!"
Xianye forced a relieved smile: "It's so nice to be able to see you before I die..."
Sui Yan stood aside, turning his head to cover his mouth as if he couldn't bear it, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Jiang Enhe choked up and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What's the point of dying? You won't die as long as I'm here!"
Wu Shijian, who was standing by, said, "Mr. Jiang, why don't we go see a doctor?"
Jiang Enhe seemed to have just remembered and was about to pick up Xianye and run away.
Yuye held his arm and said in pain: "It's no use... I can't do it anymore..."
Jiang Enhe was so scared that he stopped what he was doing immediately and looked at her with tears in his eyes.
Xianye coughed a few times, his voice getting smaller and smaller: "Mr. Jiang, actually I didn't mean to steal your things at the beginning, it was really... at that time... I had no other choice, so I had no choice..."
Jiang Enhe didn't care about the past eight hundred years ago. He cried and said, "I forgive you. Please don't say it anymore!"
Sui Yan suddenly coughed.
Yan Yi said, "I'm afraid if I don't say it now, I won't have the chance to say it again in the future...Mr. Jiang, can you hug me?"
Jiang En was almost overwhelmed by the sadness of seeing someone he knew leaving. He didn't even hear Sui Yan's reminder. Without saying a word, he hugged Yan Ye in his arms and sobbed, "Hold you. As long as you don't die, I will hold you forever."
Xianye smiled with relief: "That's good..."
As she spoke, she gently placed her hands around Jiang Enhe's slender waist and closed her eyes slightly.
Jiang Enhe: "..."
Jiang En and Hun were frozen, they lowered their heads and looked at Qianye's closed eyes in disbelief, and after a while they said angrily: "You are playing tricks on me again?!"
He threw Xianye out in anger. After being extremely sad and furious, he didn't know what expression to make for a moment. He could only glare at Xianye hatefully, covering his waist with his hands.
Yanye, who should have been "failed", slowly got up from the ground, sat cross-legged, and said with a smile: "I was discovered, hehe."
Jiang Enhe was almost mad with anger. Just now, Yanye touched her waist so vigorously. If Jiang Enhe couldn't see that she was acting, he would be a fool.
Sui Yan, who had been covering his lips and trying hard to hold back his laughter, finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
Sui Yan: "Jiang Enhe, Young Master Jiang, she has no wounds or blood on her body, and her breathing is very steady. How could you tell that she was about to die? I have to go find Song Xian later..."
Jiang Enhe glared at him angrily: "Don't tell anyone!"
Sui Yan saw that he seemed to be really angry, so he pressed down on him with both hands, signaling him to calm down: "Okay, okay, I was wrong that time, I apologize to you, don't be angry."
Gann and Mian Qiang believed his promise.
Xianye stood up and patted the mud off his body, saying, "When my lady was hanging around in the City God Temple, they might have been drinking milk. They still want to kill me, without even considering where I am from. Young Master Jiang, you didn't really think I was going to die just now, did you?"
Jiang Enhe stood there, looking at her hatefully. When he heard these words, his eyes turned red and the humiliation of having his true love being toyed with by someone suddenly rose to his heart.
He took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "That's right, but now I regret it. It's a waste of my feelings for you. Miss Yanye, we won't meet again."
As he spoke, he managed to maintain his composure, turned around and walked away without even looking back.
Xianye froze where he was, staring blankly at his resolutely leaving back, suddenly feeling a little at a loss as to what to do.
She instinctively turned to Sui Yan for help, and Sui Yan said innocently: "Don't look at me, it was you who wanted to tease him. To be honest, I have never seen him lose his temper so badly, you are really capable."
He called for nothing: "Go follow Jiang Enhe. It's so chaotic outside. Don't let him get hurt."
Nothing else to do. Just leave.
The dust outside seemed to have settled. Sui Yan walked out of the small house and saw several secret guards tying up the captured assassin, apparently intending to take him back for interrogation.
Sui Yan adjusted his sleeves nonchalantly and said calmly, "No need to judge them, just kill them all."
The secret guard was stunned: "Master, these assassins must have been instructed by someone behind the scenes. If we don't find out..."
Sui Yan chuckled and said slowly, "Do you think they would be able to tell you who gave them the order to kill me when they dared to assassinate an important official in the street so openly? And even if they told me who it was, I wouldn't believe a word of it."
The secret guard seemed to be someone close to Duan Mingchong. Looking at Sui Yanmu's gentle smile like spring breeze, he was stunned for a moment.
Sui Yan said, "Kill him right here. Someone will come to take care of it."
If Jiang Enhe was here, he might have to worry about whether the young master who was ignorant of the world would see blood. Now that there was no one else around, he could kill without any responsibility.
The secret guards of the Marquis's mansion obeyed the order, raised their swords and slashed, splashing blood all over the ground.
Sui Yan didn't even look at him, but turned to look at Yu Ye who was walking out of the small house and said, "You can't live here anymore, come to my place."
Xianye tilted her head to glance at the river of blood at the corner of the wall. She seemed accustomed to such scenes. She nodded without saying a word, looking a little absent-minded.
Sui Yan smiled and said, "You know you're wrong?"
Xianye nodded and said, "Will he... ignore me again?"
Sui Yan said: "That's hard to say, after all, you went too far this time."
Xianye was unhappy.
Sui Yan saw that she was wearing thin clothes and her shoulders were shaking slightly. He sighed, took off his cloak and wrapped it around her, and said, "Let's go back first. I am also wrong in this matter. When he calms down, I will take you to Jiang Mansion to find him."
Yuye nodded.
Sui Yan then turned around, glanced at the corpse in the corner, calmly looked away, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion with Xun Ye.
Xunye was also a frequent visitor to the Marquis' Mansion. After Sui Yan settled her down, he came back from outside only when he had nothing to do.
"Mr. Jiang has returned home."
Sui Yan nodded: "Where did he go after he left the back street?"
Wu Shi said truthfully, "After walking half a street, Young Master Jiang seemed to have some regrets. He hesitated for a long time before waiting at the exit of the back street. After he saw Young Master and Miss Qianye leave, he came out and stood there for a while before returning to the mansion."
Sui Yan tried to hold back his laughter. It looked like Jiang Enhe wasn't that angry. Maybe his good intentions were betrayed, and he left because he felt wronged and humiliated. When he came to his senses, he might regret saying such harsh words to Xianye.
After a whole morning of trouble outside, Duan Mingchong had already left when Sui Yan came back. He changed his clothes and smoked soothing incense in the room for a while to completely cover up the bloody smell on his body, then he leisurely went to the front yard to look for Sui Xun.
Sui Xun was about to look for him, but when he saw him walking towards him heartlessly, he immediately shouted angrily, "Sui Yan!"
Sui Yan looked at him innocently: "Brother? What's wrong?"
Sui Xun pulled him over and looked him up and down. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was not injured. Then his face became even uglier: "Why didn't you tell me about the assassination when you came back? If I hadn't asked the family guard who went out with you, would you still be hiding it from me?"
Sui Yan said: "I'm not injured, there's nothing worth talking about."
He had been assassinated many times in his previous life, and no matter how frightened he was, no one could complain. Over time, it had become a habit.
Sui Xun said angrily, "Isn't this a big deal?"
Seeing that Sui Xun was really angry, Sui Yan quickly changed his words and said, "I...I originally wanted to come here to talk to my brother about this matter. I didn't want to hide it, and this matter is a bit strange."
Seeing that he really wanted to talk about serious matters, Sui Xun suppressed his anger a little and said coldly, "What's strange?"
Sui Yan said: "It seems that the group of secret guards knew that I would go back to the back street of the City God Temple, and they were waiting there long ago."
Sui Xun frowned and asked, "How long were you delayed on the way out of the mansion?"
Sui Yan thought for a moment and said, "About an hour or two?"
Sui Xun immediately scolded, "One or two hours is enough for someone to place half an army of people in the City God Temple. It was you who was out there swaggering around. What? Are you saying that there is a spy in our house?"
Sui Yan originally wanted to change the subject, so he blinked innocently and said, "Is that so? Then I won't go out casually in the future."
Sui Xun glared at him angrily.
Sui Yan asked again: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left?"
Sui Xun said, "Well, what happened to you today? Why is His Highness wearing your clothes?"
Sui Yan tilted his head and said, "His clothes were wet, so I lent him a replacement."
Sui Xun was about to say something when Sui Yan suddenly became excited and said happily, "Brother, I like that dress very much, but I can't just give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You can take me with you to court tomorrow, and I will go to the East Palace to get my dress back after court."
Sui Xun: “…”
Sui Yan had already reached the age to attend court, but because Duan Mingchong was there to support him, he could attend court based on his mood. However, he would definitely be in a bad mood when it came to getting up early to attend court, so he attended court only a few times in three years. The emperor turned a blind eye to this, and the ministers were not surprised by it.
Sui Xun frowned: "When you sent your clothes to me, didn't you complain about this and that? And I remember you seemed to have some hygiene problems. You had to change several sets of clothes every day. No matter how expensive a set of clothes was, you would not wear it a second time even if a drop of water was spilled on it. Why now..."
Sui Yan said: "The clothes that His Royal Highness has worn are different."
I can get into the coffin.
Sui Xun: “…”
Did this bastard get spoiled by himself?
Sui Xun began to worry. If the Sui family ancestors saw Sui Yan's dissolute behavior, would they be struck by a bolt of lightning?
