The terrain of Zhao Mansion is complex and Xue Zhiyi is not familiar with it, so he can only walk around and try his luck.
Before she knew it, she had become separated from Qiuyun Suyue.
The Chinese New Year is just over ten days away, and the weather is getting increasingly bleak.
Her nose was a little red from the cold, and she couldn't help shivering.
The Zhao Mansion was indeed large, and there were many deserted corners where no one lived. Weeds grew everywhere, but in winter, only fields of dead grass remained that no one cared for.
At this moment, she suddenly heard a series of "ho ho" panting sounds, followed by a few fierce dog barks.
Xue Zhiyi was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw the fierce dog named Wuyun barking in one direction not far away.
She tiptoed along the wall and hid herself behind a beam. Looking from afar, she saw a person in the weeds in the direction where the dark clouds were heading!
Not only that, the man seemed to have blood on his body, and the smell of blood attracted the attention of the dark cloud. At this moment, the dark cloud was holding its tail between its legs, ready to attack the man.
Could it be that in a past life, the dark clouds had attacked that poor child here? But that person didn't look like a child at all...
After hesitating for a moment, she quietly moved closer until she could see the man's face clearly.
But the moment her eyes met that person's, she was stunned.
Huo Wuyou? How could it be Huo Wuyou? Why was he in the Yongping Marquis Mansion?
Huo Wuyou was seen wearing the clothes of a servant of the Zhao family. He seemed to have several knife wounds on his body. He was lying on the ground covered in blood and seemed to have difficulty standing up.
The moment he saw Xue Zhiyi, Huo Wuyou's eyes were shocked.
He seemed to want to say something, but his pale face was covered with sweat and his chest ached slightly, so painful that he couldn't speak at all.
Xue Zhiyi took a few steps back, then turned around and left.
It's just right, let the dark clouds bite him to death! In this way, Shen Chiyan will not be falsely accused, and Shen Qingtang will not have to go through the suffering of the previous life!
But after she took a few steps, she suddenly stopped: But the slander against the Shen family was done by the King Cheng Party. Even if Huo Wuyou was not there, it would be someone else from the King Cheng Party. Instead of not knowing who the opponent is, it is better to save Huo Wuyou first. At least the enemy is in the open, so it is better to be on guard at all times.
On this side, looking at Xue Zhiyi's leaving back, Huo Wuyou felt a sense of despair in his heart.
He held onto the wall and tried to stand up, but his injured leg couldn't move at all.
The vicious dog approached step by step with its tongue hanging out, making a terrifying sound in its throat that made people's backs chill.
At this moment, he couldn't help but laugh at himself: He deserved it. Who made him say such categorically the last time he spoke to Xue Zhiyi? He was the one who said we were even, and now, Xue Zhiyi really was even with him.
Just as he was about to close his eyes and wait for death, the vicious dog suddenly howled.
Huo Wuyou opened his eyes and saw a young girl standing not far away, holding a wooden stick she had picked up from somewhere, and facing the ferocious black dog with a fierce look.
Xue Zhiyi was wearing a ginger-colored winter coat with furry hems and collar. His round eyes were half-closed, full of intimidation, like a ferocious wild cat.
The vicious dog turned around and headed towards Xue Zhiyi, and she threw another stone, hitting the dog's head hard.
The vicious dog then began to feel a little afraid of Xue Zhiyi.
She swung the stick a few times, and this time, the vicious dog finally tucked its tail between its legs and tried to escape.
Xue Zhiyi moved slowly, and the vicious dog also moved cautiously to avoid her.
She didn't stop moving until she was completely in front of Huo Wuyou.
"Huo Wuyou..." She was clearly scared, her voice trembling: "You owe me a favor!"
"What..." He struggled to squeeze out a sound from his throat.
"You owe me a favor!" she said.
He laughed a little, coughed twice, and said, "Okay..."
It seems that there is no way to settle the matter.
Xue Zhiyi knew that if she wanted to save her life, she could not show cowardice in front of animals. Even the most ferocious dog would be afraid of people holding weapons, so she swung the wooden stick a few more times in an exaggerated manner.
Looking at the little girl in front of him, her movements were clumsy and it was clear that she had no martial arts skills, but even though the vicious dog barked and drooled, she did not retreat at all.
Suddenly, a wave of emotion passed through his heart...
At this moment, Wuyun stopped moving, and he suddenly pricked up his ears and looked in one direction.
Sure enough, if you listen carefully in the direction of the dark clouds, you can hear footsteps approaching from afar, accompanied by human voices.
"It seems like he escaped here..."
"Go! Go and look for them!"
He is from the Yongping Marquis Mansion.
Hearing the voices of his own family, Wuyun swung his tail and barked excitedly twice.
Seeing that the dark clouds were about to attract people, Xue Zhiyi turned around and looked at Huo Wuyou: He definitely did not enter the Zhao family in an upright manner by doing so. He behaved suspiciously in the Xue Mansion last time, and now he sneaked into the Zhao family in such a sneaky way. He is really devoted to Prince Sheng.
Without thinking too much, she grabbed Huo Wuyou's collar and dragged him into the pile of debris in the corner.
"Be gentle... ugh..." Huo Wuyou almost vomited because of his collar.
On this side, when Zhao Shen ran over with a group of guards, he only saw Xue Zhiyi trembling with a wooden stick in his hand, with tears on his face.
"Miss Xue San?" Zhao Shen was obviously disappointed. "Why is it you?"
Xue Zhiyi's legs went limp, and he slumped to the ground, sobbing as if he had just survived a disaster: "I... I just got separated from the maid, and then I met this dog. It... It chased me all the way here, and scared me to death..."
After saying this, Wuyun couldn't help but barked at Xue Zhiyi twice.
Xue Zhiyi shuddered again: "Master Zhao, please take it away! I'm so scared!"
Seeing Xue Zhiyi crying with red eyes and tears in his eyes, Zhao Shen's face showed a bit of pity. He hurriedly asked the guards to take Wuyun away, and asked someone to call the maid in the mansion to help Xue Zhiyi up.
Although Xue Zhiyi's fear didn't seem fake, Zhao Shen couldn't help but ask, "Miss Xue San, did you see anyone just now?"
Xue Zhiyi's voice was soft and her breathing was trembling. She shook her head: "No... I didn't see anyone at the time. If Master Zhao hadn't appeared, I really thought I was going to die..."
Seeing her crying as if she was about to fall down in the wind, Zhao Shen couldn't help but feel a little pity.
In her previous life, Xue Zhiyi was actually not very good at acting like this, but after all, survival in Chunfeng Tower was difficult, so she had to learn how to control men and win their sympathy and love with this attitude.
The dark clouds were fierce and indeed too scary for a little girl. Zhao Shen thought so and decided to have someone search the area and take Xue Zhiyi away.
But Xue Zhiyi saw through his plan and quickly revealed an extremely sincere expression: "Master Zhao, can you accompany me back? I don't want to stay here anymore. I'm really scared..."
Her crying was so heartbreaking that Zhao Shen no longer felt comfortable asking to stay here any longer. He quickly agreed, "Okay, okay, let's go back first."
