Chapter 73: My Lord
The maids in the inn screamed in terror and ran away, hugging each other tightly, with screams of fear rising one after another.
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Warm blood splashed on his eyelids. Xin Hongying quickly closed his eyes, and his eyelids trembled. When he came to his senses, he realized what he had just done!
He suddenly opened his eyes, his cold eyes startled.
The man's eyes bulged slightly as he stared at him intently. His body fell down and he held the head in his hand.
Blood dripped down the smooth cut, leaving a pool of blood and slowly soaking into the soil.
He cut off the man's head!
Xin Hongying frowned, his eyes widened in disbelief, his hand loosened, and the head fell to the ground and rolled in the blood.
He raised his hands and saw the blood on them. His fingertips trembled, but he actually thought the bright color was very beautiful, and the warmth was very... comfortable!
The moment the murderous intent emerged, he was controlled by the insect again!
Xin Hongying's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his pupils shook violently. He had hundreds of ways to kill the man, but he only chose to chop off his head.
This was the first time he was controlled and affected by the insect while he was awake!
No! Maybe it's not the first time...
The blood was glaring, screams echoed in his mind, and Mrs. Luo's lips moved up and down.
Xin Hongying didn't hear clearly what Madam Luo said to him. The blood rushed to his head, and the blood in his limbs turned cold because of anger and helplessness.
He rushed back to his room as if escaping, slamming the window.
Because Xin Hongying deliberately turned his back to Shen Tingyu when he killed someone, she couldn't see what happened at that moment, but she was keenly aware of Xin Hongying's uneasiness.
She touched his arm with her small hand, but he dodged it, which only confirmed his uneasiness: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing so many frightened faces before him, Xin Hongying's voice was low and trembling: "I just lost control again."
Another poisonous insect!
Shen Tingyu realized that he couldn't drag it out any longer, otherwise the tyrant's fate would be just like the ending in the book.
"Walk!"
She touched his arm to comfort him, just as he used his big hands to shield his eyes from the thunderstorm on a rainy night, and stood firmly by his side: "Let's go to Xishan... to find the Golden Flame Resurrection Grass!"
A pair of small hands gave him great strength and dispelled his inner fear. She was really not afraid of herself.
Pulling the reins, the black horse neighed tiredly in protest.
The protest was ineffective and was ruthlessly suppressed by Shen Tingyu.
Facing the dark horse's resentful gaze, Shen Tingyu felt like an exploitative capitalist. She could only promise to buy it some fine food as compensation when she got to the next place.
"Please wait a moment." Madam Luo was instructing the servants to bury the body and clean up the bloodstains at the scene when she saw him leading out the black horse and called out to Xin Hongying, "It's so late, are you leaving?"
Xin Hongying nodded. "I have something urgent to attend to and need to leave. Thank you for your care during this time, Madam. I will always remember your life-saving grace and will repay you in the future."
"If anyone asks about anything about me, please keep it a secret, madam. Thank you!"
"Goodbye, drive!"
Xin Hongying's figure was gradually swallowed by the darkness and disappeared from their sight.
"Mom, let's go. It's windy at night, don't catch a cold." Yun'er followed Mrs. Luo closely, never leaving her side.
Madam Luo patted her palm comfortingly, "Yun'er, will you blame your mother?"
"How could Yun'er blame mother? If mother wasn't there, that man would have... killed father with his own hands."
Yun'er thought back to what had just happened, her face pale. "If you want to blame someone, blame Daddy. I was confused for a moment and had some bad thoughts."
Yun'er shook her head and was helping Madam Luo back to her room. She couldn't sleep tonight. "Mom, I want to sleep with you."
Madam Luo smiled lightly and said, "Okay."
Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the inn. Could it be that the man came back again?
Yun'er turned around in confusion. A group of men in night clothes and ferocious masks rushed into the inn, holding a machete to her neck. She screamed, "Mom, be careful."
The man in black made a gesture, and the others cautiously went upstairs to search. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you seen an injured man about this height?"
Yun'er was slightly surprised, "I haven't... I haven't seen it."
The man in black quickly came downstairs and made some gestures that they couldn't understand. Then he asked, "Are you all together? Besides you, who else is there?"
"Speak!" The scimitar dug deep into her skin, and Yun'er felt a sharp pain in her neck. She cried out in fear, "I'm going to tell you... I'm going to tell you... Please don't hurt me."
"It's just me and my mother, and...some of the maids and the coachman in the house."
The man in black looked at the person next to him and let go of the scimitar.
They really were here to find him! Yun'er's eyelids drooped, hiding her slightly complicated expression in the darkness, and she felt relieved.
"One person is missing, it's not them, let's go!" The masked men in black came and went hurriedly, with the sound of horse hooves, and the group quickly left the inn.
Madam Luo quickly supported Yun'er, who was limp with fear. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes. After confirming that they were really far away, she said in a voice that only they could hear: "They are here to find him, and they are also here to find us!
"We got into trouble while rescuing someone. Now we have to find another way and another way to find my father."
Yun'er nodded softly, unable to suppress the complex emotions in her heart any longer. She rushed into her mother's arms and cried, "Mom, I'm so scared! Wuuwuwu..."
Walking at night, the fog was very heavy, and Shen Tingyu felt the moisture in the air and the weight of his body.
Finally, before reaching the next city gate, the sunlight dispelled the moisture and the air became comfortable.
Xin Hongying first changed her clothes, bought a large purse, washed up in the inn, and went out with the purse.
In a private room in the restaurant, Xin Hongying wrote a secret letter and sent it out through someone in the restaurant, all in one smooth move.
Shen Tingyu was amazed when he saw it. He didn't expect that this world-famous "No. 1 Restaurant in the World" was actually the private property of a tyrant.
She kept her promise and fed the black horse with fine food, but the mount talisman became ineffective and it had forgotten it.
This time they changed to a carriage and chose not to continue riding horses. They left behind the black horse with a wounded leg, both to allow it to recuperate and to prevent being found.
They staggered along the way and finally arrived at the Xishan area.
…
"My Lord, I am incompetent and cannot kill the tyrant."
"But our secret agents intercepted a secret letter, which is suspected to be sent by the tyrant."
The masked man in black knelt on one knee and respectfully handed over a letter.
After reading the secret letter, the master chuckled softly.
"He actually went to Yunzhou City! Hahahahaha... How interesting!"
“That’s a great place!”
"After so many failures, this time wasn't a complete loss. I finally managed to discover his true strength."
The Lord placed the secret letter above the candle flame, looked at the letter that was burned to ashes, and said coldly: "Since the ambush of the heavenly net and the earthly net cannot kill him, then use other methods."
"For a mortal body, finding a weakness is a very easy thing to do, but this time the sacrifice is greater, all for the greater cause."
The master hooked two fingers and said, "Come here."
The masked assassin approached respectfully and offered his ear.
After hearing this, his eyes widened in horror, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. He immediately lowered his head stiffly to cover up his loss of composure.
