Kill me if you can (18)

He untied the gray silk ribbon covering his eyes, and Yun Sheng's gloomy eyes slowly looked at the big man in front of him. "Who told you to touch her?"

"Heh, a guy who has been drugged dares to be so arrogant. That kid doesn't know what's good for him, he deserves to be chopped. But you relied on her to dodge the knife, I will not show mercy on the next one!" The big man smiled cunningly, raised the knife in his hand and was about to chop towards Yun Sheng again, but unexpectedly, a long needle suddenly appeared in the opponent's hand and easily shook off the knife in his hand.

When the big man was about to pick up the knife on the ground and chop people again, the sharp bone needle had silently pierced his shoulder. His eyes widened in an instant, and his hands tightly grasped his neck. In a moment, his whole face turned red and purple, and blood continued to flow from the corner of his mouth.

"How is this possible? Who are you?" The man sat on the ground in fear, shrinking back as the man in front of him kept approaching. He picked up the long knife on the ground and waved it around. "I tell you, don't even think about touching a hair on my head. I am the prince's subordinate. If you touch me, you will definitely suffer a lot!"

"Oh, the prince is your backer?" The man's dark eyes flashed with a dark light, and he played with the bone needle in his hand, "So, you are Liu Han?"

When Liu Han heard that this person knew him, he thought that his reputation frightened him, and he immediately raised his chest, "Oh, you are afraid now? If you know what's best for you, cut your own meridians and take the needle out of my body!"

Yun Sheng slowly raised his lips and approached the other person step by step. A cold voice rang beside him, "Since you said so, I will of course fulfill your wish." After that, he put away the bone needle in his hand, took out the flute from his waist, and hit Liu Han's limbs hard until all the meridians were broken alive. He withdrew his hand, blinked his eyelashes lightly, and watched the person in front of him wailing in pain.

It's so noisy, you'd better shut his mouth. Yun Sheng frowned slightly, pulled off the bed cloth and stuffed it into the other person's mouth, then walked towards Shen Tang again.

"If you had hurt someone else, I would not have bothered to stop you, but you hurt her, so I will naturally settle the score with you. Although the bone needle in your body is poisonous, don't worry, you will not die so soon before Murong Jin and the others get here."

Liu Han's eyes were filled with fear, and he fainted when he saw Yun Sheng's smiling face. The yellow liquid flowing from his body made Yun Sheng feel disgusted, and he immediately hugged Shen Tang and left the room.

When they were going out, the door of the next room opened at the same time. Murong Jin was walking out of the room with his head covered, and happened to see Yun Sheng carrying Shen Tang out. Although the other party was still blindfolded, this time when he looked at Yun Sheng, he always felt that something seemed to have changed about the other party.

"Liu Han is in that room. Just go and ask him whatever you want to ask."

"Why is Brother Mo here? He is injured?" Murong Jin glanced at the bloodstains on the clothes of the person in Yun Sheng's arms. He felt a little nervous for some reason, but Yun Sheng held the person in his arms and didn't let him touch even the corner of his clothes.

"Your Highness, you'd better handle this matter properly and return to Beijing as soon as possible. Now that the culprit has been exposed, you should give an explanation to the higher-ups." Yun Sheng said calmly, dodged Murong Jin's outstretched hand, turned around and took Shen Tang back to the room where she originally stayed.

Murong Jin was distracted for a moment as he watched the departing figure, but soon regained his composure. He called the guards over and asked sternly, "Where is the man I asked you to keep an eye on just now?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, after the woman left here, she went to a dilapidated temple to worship Buddha. I saw her put a piece of yellow paper under the Buddha seat. Look, this is the yellow paper left by the woman. After leaving the yellow paper, I tied up the woman and threw her into the woodshed. However, I didn't expect that the woman bit her tongue and committed suicide after she found out that the matter was exposed. It is my fault!"

"Alright, now is not the time to ask for blame. Where is the yellow paper? Show it to me!"

The guard quickly handed a piece of yellow paper to Murong Jin. Murong Jin picked up the paper and read it. The content was about everything that happened after they came to Jiaobei. After reading the content, Murong Jin sneered and tore up the paper. His good brother really cared about him. He even sent someone to "take care" of him in such a far place. It seemed that he really couldn't let him down. It just so happened that Yun Sheng had just dealt with the culprit. He wanted to see what else the prince had done!

"Oh, Your Highness, there is one more thing. The remaining carriages that came with Your Highness have already repaired the bridge connecting to the northern suburbs. The imperial physician and the remaining guards will probably be able to arrive here soon."

"When they come, let them go to Brother Mo first. I will go to check on this rebel first!" Murong Jin immediately brought his personal guards into his original chamber.

While Murong Jin was interrogating Liu Han, Yun Sheng had already carried him to the couch in the house. Although Shen Tang had fainted from the pain of the knife, she woke up after resting on the couch for a while, but the pain in her back made her forehead sweat continuously. She also knew that if the knife wound on her back was not treated, it would be difficult to deal with if it became inflamed, but her identity could not be revealed at the moment. If she really waited for the imperial physician to come and expose the truth, she would be charged with deceiving the emperor.

Yun Sheng looked at the pale-faced girl lying on the couch and felt a little torn for a moment. He wanted to go forward and apply medicine to her, but he was afraid that she would resist.

"Come here and apply the medicine for me," the hoarse voice of a young girl suddenly came into his ears. Murong Jin raised his head in surprise and looked in the direction of Shen Tang. Hasn't this person always been afraid of him? Why did he take the initiative to let him apply the medicine for her this time?

Shen Tang's next explanation quickly let him know the reason: "My wound is on my back. You are not allowed to touch any other part of my body except my back."

Yes, he is still blind now. What secrets can a blind man know? Yun Sheng lowered her eyelids, her heart was in turmoil. She was still as decisive as before, but who could have thought that this person who died under his bone needle without complaining would now be personally applied with medicine by him. It was really fate's trick.

Yun Sheng slowly leaned over and squatted beside Shen Tang. The other party handed the bruises and injuries medicine he brought with him to his palm. The fingertips were still warm when they touched Yun Sheng's palm, but Yun Sheng shrank back as if he touched something hot. Soon he lowered his head and slowly applied the medicine in his hand to the girl in front of him.

If he hadn't remembered what happened, who knows how long he would have tortured her. Yun Sheng's fingers dipped in the ointment slowly applied it on the girl's delicate skin. Yun Sheng closed his dark eyelashes, not daring to look at the fair skin, and just applied the medicine on the wound all at once, causing Shen Tang to scream in pain several times. He couldn't help but pinch him several times with his hands, which made Yun Sheng's hand applying the ointment more steady.

After applying medicine to Shen Tang, Yun Sheng was still standing there in a daze, staring at his hands hanging by his side. His hands, which had killed the girl in front of him, were now applying medicine to her...

Seeing that Yun Sheng was reluctant to leave, Shen Tang thought that he was still determined to kill her, and she couldn't help but shiver.

She swallowed softly and said, "Well, now that you've applied the medicine, can you let me rest for a while?"

The man saw the girl in front of him clutching the bedclothes tightly, looking at him like a vigilant little beast, and his heart tightened. If he had gone to ask the old master of Qianji Pavilion what he said, how could he let her die under his bone needle?

Yun Sheng only took half a step forward, and Shen Tang subconsciously shrank back, which made him clench his hands tightly, and his lips were bitten white. After a long while, he forced a smile towards the girl in front of him, "I don't ask for your forgiveness, but..."

"Don't be afraid of me, okay?"

Shen Tang stared at the person in front of her in a daze. She felt something was wrong. How could a person who had been so cold and sarcastic a few days ago suddenly speak so gently to her? There must be something fishy going on!

Shen Tang, who was filled with a sense of crisis, stared at the person in front of her with her big eyes, trying to find something wrong in him, but she stared for a long time and couldn't tell what happened to the other person.

"We don't seem to be that familiar with each other, right?" Shen Tang blinked and looked at him, "Didn't you ask me to save my life a few days ago? Why, have you forgotten it now?"

"I..." Yun Sheng was speechless for a moment. He did say those words, but at that time he did not think of what happened before, so he was speechless.

He stood aside obediently like a child who had done something wrong, with his head down, looking at Shen Tang with wet eyes, "Then there is no way for me to remedy it?"

Shen Tang silently rubbed her heart which was beating hard. It was strange. When did she fall for this trick? But that wouldn't work. If the hero didn't kill her, how could she seize the position of the head of Qianji Pavilion? No, this killer couldn't be unqualified.

"Rescue? Why do you think I will forgive someone who wants to kill me? If you want to kill me, just do it cleanly and don't use those hypocritical things to fool me! Young Master, I tell you, even if I die, I will not forgive you a single cent!"

As Shen Tang finished speaking, Yun Sheng's whole body tensed up, and his face turned slightly pale. He looked at Shen Tang calmly, and smiled with effort, "It doesn't matter if you don't forgive me or not." He would take good care of her and see that she would find a good family in her life, and not die at his hands again.

This is atonement.

Shen Tang didn't know what Xiao Yunsheng was thinking, and she wasted a lot of energy before finally getting him out of the room. As soon as the door closed, she called out Xiao Fukudai and asked, "Xiao Fukudai, what's wrong with the male lead? He's like a completely different person out of nowhere. If I didn't know, I would have thought he had a brain injury. He looked like he was going to kill me a few days ago, but how come he suddenly put down his butcher knife and became a Buddha?"

"Host," Xiao Fukudai said cautiously, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
