“Third Prince, the other side also brought a team of guards. The Zhao family’s secret guards have all been sent out to search for the jade pendant and have not yet returned. The ordinary guards in the manor are probably…” At this point, Zhao Tingsong paused and looked up carefully at Yun Shao’s reaction.
Yun Shao paused in wiping his sweat: "What is this granddaughter's identity? How come she can bring guards to the Great Chu?"
Zhao Tingsong said, "I don't know much about it either, but I once heard my great-aunt mention that she seemed to be a doctor and even treated the young prince of the Regent of Great Chu. Maybe the Regent sent her."
Yun Shao sneered: "So you're still one of Xiao Yanchu's men. No wonder."
He tossed the handkerchief to the guard beside him: "You, take a group of men and follow Young Master Zhao to retrieve the jade pendant."
"yes!"
Zhao Tingsong also breathed a sigh of relief. With the Third Prince's help, he had nothing to worry about.
It was already early November, but fortunately Yunqi was warmer than Da Chu, so it didn't feel cold.
It takes about two hours to travel from Yuncheng to Yunquan Villa. Su Ruojin leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.
Su Yiting then checked his business ledger in Yunqi.
call out!
An arrow shot into the carriage.
"Little sister, be careful!" Su Yiting pulled Su Ruojin over and shielded her, making her lie on the ground.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another arrow was shot at the carriage.
"Waaah!"
It sounded like someone had been shot by an arrow outside the carriage, letting out a painful groan.
"Protect the young master and young lady!" The Su family guards drew their swords and stood around the carriage, using their swords to deflect the incoming arrows.
"As long as it's money, leave no one alive!"
At this moment, more than a dozen masked men emerged from the nearby woods, carrying swords and charging towards the Su family guards.
Soon, the two sides clashed.
"Little sister, don't get off the carriage!" Su Yiting jumped off the carriage and joined the battle.
Two men tried to board the carriage and capture Su Ruojin, but as soon as they got close to the carriage, they were shot in the neck with two crossbow bolts and fell to the ground dead.
Before Su Ruojin could even release the silver needles, her opponent collapsed.
It must have been the secret guards sent by Xiao Yanchu, whom she hadn't seen along the way, who made the move.
Looking out from behind the curtain, it was clear that the other party was no match for the Su family guards and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
To ensure Su Ruojin's safety, Su Yunfeng specially deployed elite guards to protect her; how could ordinary people possibly be a match for the Su family's guards?
Seeing that things were not going well, one of them shouted, "Retreat!"
The Su family guards would not let them go, and in the end, only one was left alive.
Su Yiting ripped off the man's mask: "Tell me, who sent you?"
The man hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, crying, "Hero, spare my life! I am just a villager from the neighborhood. I was forced by circumstances to try to rob some money. I never intended to kill anyone. Please spare my life, sir. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. I promise I will never do this kind of thing again."
Su Yiting sneered: "Villagers? So the villagers of Yunqi usually use swords to plow the land!"
He grabbed the man's hand; the calluses on his palm could only be developed by someone who had wielded a sword for many years.
Besides, during the exchange just now, Su Yiting clearly felt that his opponent was a long-term martial arts practitioner, and could not possibly be a villager from the neighborhood.
