Yun Xuan reacted quickly and dodged by turning his head sideways, but Jiang Shi quickly raised his other fist and hit him hard in the nose.
Yun Xuan groaned, his tall and straight body trembled slightly, and bright red blood flowed from his nostrils. He looked at Jiang Shi coldly, and punched him in the face without giving in.
Jiang Shi turned his head and barely avoided it, and the two immediately started fighting.
The cold moonlight covered the ground with a layer of silver light.
The figures of both men appeared dark under the moonlight, and they could only be distinguished by the slight difference in their figures.
There is a slight difference in size between the boy's body and the young man's body, but Jiang Shi's skills and strength are enough to make up for this slight difference.
The two fought back and forth, and the fight was fierce.
Cheng Su also jumped out of the study window, and looked at them excitedly with his face hidden behind the half mask.
Yun Xuan's personal bodyguard Hou Lang and his men wanted to go forward to help, but were stopped by him.
"Don't bother them. Don't you see your prince is fighting a duel with someone?"
Hou Lang hesitated, but ultimately decided not to ask anyone to rush forward to help.
Naturally, they were very clear about the grudges between the Wu'an Marquis Mansion and the Yunwang Mansion.
The feud between the two families put Jiang Shi and Yun Xuan on opposite sides, and the situation became increasingly serious, and it became a life-or-death situation.
Except for the written test on the night of the Lantern Festival, Jiang Shi and Yun Xuan had never met directly again. Now that Jiang Shi came to her on his own initiative, Yun Xuan naturally would not let go of this opportunity and wished to kill him directly.
Even though Yun Xuan admired Jiang Shi's talents very much, since he could not use him for his own purposes, Yun Xuan would never let him become Gao's right-hand man.
Both of them harbored a strong desire to kill, and the original bare-handed fight soon turned into a fight with each other holding their own weapons.
Jiang Shi took out a dagger as long as a man's palm from his sleeve and stabbed it at Yun Xuan's heart, but Yun Xuan dodged it by leaning sideways. Then a dagger appeared in Yun Xuan's hand and stabbed it at Jiang Shi's neck.
The thin young man seemed to have extraordinary skills and sharp reactions, but Yun Xuan stabbed the dagger back suddenly and still grazed Jiang Shi's neck. The bright red blood instantly flowed out of the young man's white and slender neck.
The pain in Yun Xuan's nose made him unable to control his mind, and there were traces of blood that had not been wiped off on his handsome and deep face.
Looking at Jiang Shi's intact face, he sneered and turned the dagger to stab him in the face.
"I've given you many chances, but you didn't cherish them. This time you're asking for death, and I won't let you go."
Jiang Shi barely dodged it, but his fair cheek was still cut.
At the same time, his dagger stabbed Yun Xuan's arm holding the dagger.
“It’s not certain who will let go of whom.”
Jiang Shi's father, Jiang Chu, was the famous Marquis of Wu'an, who was an expert in martial arts. Therefore, Jiang Shi, who had been strictly trained since childhood, was very skilled and could easily fight ten people alone.
However, Yun Xuan, who only had the hereditary title of prince in the eyes of outsiders, was actually as skilled as Jiang Shi. His moves were filled with a cold and murderous intent, and one could tell at a glance that he had killed many people, which was why he was so ruthless and decisive.
The ancestor of the Prince Yun's Mansion was a founding hero who followed the Gao family to conquer the world. He was also a military general, so naturally he also had martial arts secrets that were not passed on to others.
Like Jiang Shi, every generation of men in the Yun family had to practice martial arts since childhood and had to show mediocre qualifications to the outside world. They did not join the military camp. Even if they took the imperial examinations, they could only become a Juren at most, and they dared not even get a Tong Jinshi.
For the safety of the entire family, to reassure the Gao family and not kill them all, and at the same time to overthrow the Gao family's rule and no longer live cautiously, the Yun family endured humiliation for generations and cultivated new forces.
By Yun Xuan's generation, the Prince Yun's Mansion had become a dilapidated empty shell in the eyes of outsiders. Only Yun Xuan himself knew how much wealth and power he had under his control.
According to the original plan, he would have seized power and usurped the throne during his parents' generation. However, the appearance of Marquis Wu'an and his wife disrupted their plans, and eventually both parties passed away.
The hatred of killing one's father and mother is irreconcilable. However, compared with the ultimate goal of the Yun family's endurance of humiliation for a hundred years, Yun Xuan could have endured it, but Jiang Ke remained unmoved, so he had to kill Jiang Shi.
Yun Xuan suddenly said, "Jiang Shi, we are actually quite similar."
Both of them had inflicted several wounds on each other, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.
Jiang Shi said with a cold face: "I beg your pardon, but I won't covet someone else's fiancée."
Yun Xuan smiled: "I do covet your fiancée because I am jealous of you."
He looked at the boy's somewhat seductive face under the moonlight, "You and I are so similar. We both endured it since childhood in order to paralyze others. Apart from our closest relatives, there is no one around us who treats us sincerely."
"After my parents passed away, I lost my most important relative, just like you. However, I have a younger sister. I originally thought I was better than you, but I never imagined that you would bring home a fiancée."
When Yu Tanqi was mentioned, a gleam flashed in Yun Xuan's dark eyes.
He asked, seemingly puzzled, "You two haven't been together long, so why would she risk her life to block an arrow for you? Are there really such pure and kind people in the world?"
"Of course there is, she is my fiancée." Jiang Shi did not think it was appropriate to use the word "pure, kind and beautiful" to describe Yu Tanqi. She was such a beautiful and kind girl.
"I don't believe it." Yun Xuan scoffed, looking at Jiang Shi with an ambiguous expression. "Jiang Shi, you're a smart man. Didn't you think of the 'honey trap'?"
Jiang Shi said nothing.
Yun Xuan continued, "Your fiancée lost her mother at a young age and was sent by her biological father to be raised by Madam Xie, her maternal grandfather. She has a very good reputation in Chen County and is a typical noble lady from an aristocratic family. She is well-educated and well-mannered, and I feel pity for her."
"Have you ever thought about how a well-educated and well-mannered lady from a noble family could take the initiative to write a letter to her fiancé before marriage? Is this also one of the reasons why you suddenly went to the Xie family in Chen County and brought her back to the capital?"
Jiang Shi's eyes were cold and displeased. "What you investigated is just the surface. Your random guesses are ridiculous. As an outsider, you naturally don't understand what happened between her and me, and you have no right to comment on it."
"I am reminding you kindly that even though we are enemies, I still admire you. I don't want to see you knowing that you have fallen into a beauty trap but still refusing to wake up and get out of it." Yun Xuan insisted that Jiang Shi had fallen into a beauty trap.
He stared at Jiang Shi closely, trying to see any expression on his face, but the boy's eyes were as dark as the night and his face was expressionless, making it impossible for him to glimpse what he was thinking at the moment.
Jiang Shi didn't want to waste time talking to Yun Xuan, so he pressed him harder.
If Yun Xuan distracted herself and spoke again, she might really be killed by Jiang Shi's dagger.
Yun Xuan did not give up. Whenever she had a moment to breathe, she would start to "persuade" him.
"Jiang Shi, don't you think your current fiancée is different from the rumors?"
