Every time, they were able to complete the young master's task perfectly and escape unscathed.
Although they acted as cautiously as usual in the Fifth Prince's Mansion this time, they did not take it seriously in their hearts.
They have been to the most dangerous places in the martial arts world, let alone the Fifth Prince's Mansion, whose layout was known in advance?
But they never expected that as soon as they arrived at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, they were surrounded by ten men in black.
What’s even more infuriating is that they are completely powerless to resist!
Once upon a time, whether it was the young and frivolous Xuezhu Poison Lady, or the elderly and steady Yuan Guanshi and Azai, they all believed that no one in the world could defeat them except the Young Master.
This is the confidence that their victories in the past few years have given them.
But it was not until tonight that they realized that there are always people better than you.
Although the skills of each of the ten men in black were slightly worse than theirs, it was only slightly.
Moreover, the ten people cooperate with each other very well, and are no worse than four people.
If the young master had not suddenly appeared, they would have all died in the Fifth Prince's Mansion this time.
The four of them stood in the yard, still feeling uneasy.
After a while, Manager Yuan spoke up, "We're all tired tonight. Let's get some rest." He looked at the Poison Lady and said, "You need to find an antidote for the Golden Toad Gu's poison as soon as possible."
Poison Lady nodded: "I know."
After they finished speaking, the four of them returned to their rooms one by one, but except for the master of the house who really went to rest with peace of mind, the other three did not rest.
Manager Yuan was busy dealing with the aftermath.
For example, the relatives and friends of the people who died this time need to be properly taken care of.
Fortunately, the young master never hires local people to send brothers on missions. They are all brothers from other places, and their families are all in other places.
Even if their identities were recognized, the people in the capital were unable to reach them at the moment, and they had enough time to transfer their relatives and friends to a safe place.
As for using these people's identities to trace back to the young master?
That's impossible. These people have never seen the young master and don't know his official identity.
The Poison Lady was busy looking through the secret recipe of the Golden Toad Gu.
This was something her master had never seen before his death! Yet, she was only twenty years old, and she had already seen it! How thrilling!
There was also blood on Xuezhu's body. He was the last one to use the servants' bathroom.
He went in, washed the bathroom three times, then washed himself up and down five times, and then washed the bathroom three times before he finished.
After washing, Xuezhu didn't sleep either.
He cleaned the bathroom that the young master had used three times, and then took a broom and swept the Wu family's house from top to bottom, imitating the steps of his young master in his memory.
Xuezhu felt that his Qinggong skills were still not as good as the Young Master's, perhaps because he had practiced too little.
He had been busy dyeing cloth these days, but dyeing cloth had also helped his martial arts. When he used his sword tonight, he was able to control his strength better than before.
There is less time to sweep the floor and practice martial arts, but I can't give up dyeing cloth.
What should I do?
Xuezhu quickly thought of a solution. He decided to sleep only one and a half hours a day from now on.
No more.
He wants to be more hardworking than the young master, and then surpass him.
Xuezhu, who was busy sweeping the floor, took a look into the young master's wife's bedroom, made up her mind, and then swept even harder.
Outside the room, Xuezhu was thinking about catching up.
In the room, Wu Weian just wanted to sleep.
Ji Yunxi hadn't slept yet. She was half lying on the bed, flipping through a book in her hand.
But she didn't pay much attention to it. She only turned three pages in one night.
She had indeed read every word on these three pages, but she couldn't remember anything.
The door, which was left a crack, was pushed open with a creak. Ji Yunxi came to her senses and looked towards the door.
Wu Weian was wearing a thin pair of pajamas. He had just taken a shower and his body was slightly wet. The pajamas stuck to his body, showing off his good figure.
It is now the end of October and the weather is getting colder.
He shrank his body, kicked the door shut with his back foot, and with a light tap of his toes, he floated to the bed.
Wu Weian lifted the quilt and crawled in.
The quilt was slightly warm, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, he never covered himself with a quilt, so when the seasons changed from summer to autumn, a large quilt was left on the bed.
Ji Yunxi put the book down, and the first thing she asked was, "Is he dead?"
Wu Weian: “…”
He sighed softly: "Yeah."
When he came back, the first thing his wife cared about was not whether he was safe, but whether he was dead.
It really is quite, very complicated.
Ji Yunxi was still a little worried, so she confirmed again: "Are you sure he's really dead?"
Wu Wei'an was a little helpless: "I did it myself, and you just don't trust me?"
Ji Yunxi finally felt relieved. She shook her head: "It's not that I don't believe you."
It’s because the Fifth Prince is really too difficult to deal with, and in modern film and television dramas, there are always plots where the protagonist comes back to life and transforms from a cocoon into a butterfly.
Wu Wei'an turned his head to look at her: "But you guessed one thing right, the Fifth Prince does have reinforcements."
Thinking of the scene just now, his eyes turned cold: "It was just one step away. If I hadn't acted quickly, it's hard to say what would have happened."
"It's good that it's resolved." Ji Yunxi was relieved. She put the book away, lay down, and asked again, "Do you know who the reinforcements belong to?"
Although she asked, there was no doubt in her tone.
Wu Wei'an raised his eyebrows frivolously: "Why, Madam also knows?"
"Hmm." Ji Yunxi gently closed her eyes, not denying it. Although neither of them spoke aloud, they were both certain they were thinking of the same person. "That person is cautious and won't strike easily, but when he does, it's a lethal move. It's perfect, as we need time to plan. Anyway, let's get rid of your poison first."
The bed was very big and the quilt was also very big, with two people on each side.
