"How could a young girl who had just come of age be willing to leave the place where she had lived for many years and travel thousands of miles to another place that was completely unfamiliar to her?"
"Have you ever considered that the Yu Tanqi who wrote to you last year was no longer the same Yu Tanqi, but someone else?"
"I heard that Yu Tanqi fell seriously ill during that time, and then suddenly came to you. Didn't you ever doubt her intentions?"
Yun Xuan didn't believe what he said, and Jiang Shi didn't listen to a word he said.
People's words are scary. Even the most intelligent and rational people cannot help but be influenced by the words around them.
He wanted to see whether this engaged couple, who had not yet married, could firmly believe in each other and stay together until the end.
"You had an arranged marriage when you were little, yet fourteen months have passed since Yu Tanqi arrived in the capital last March, and you still haven't gotten married. Why is that?"
"Is it you who doesn't want to get married, or is it she who doesn't want to marry you?"
"Shut up." Jiang Shi's expression was impatient and cold. The sharp tip of the dagger in his hand cut a bloody wound at the corner of Yun Xuan's mouth.
Yun Xuan felt pain again, and a hint of anger finally flashed in his eyes.
"It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with kind words. If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
His face was filled with gloom, and he said in a cold voice: "What are you all standing there for? Take him down for me!"
"Yes!" Hou Lang quickly led his men to rush towards Jiang Shi.
Yun Xuan sneered: "I won't let you escape easily today."
He is not an upright gentleman. Since ancient times, those who have accomplished great things have all used any means necessary.
When Hou Lang and others were about to approach him with swords and knives, a group of men in black suddenly appeared around them and started to fight with Hou Lang and others.
Jiang Shi suddenly appeared behind Yun Xuan, holding a dagger against his neck, and whispered, "If you don't want to die now, don't say anything more."
Yun Xuan's face changed and he was about to resist, but suddenly he felt weak all over and almost fell to the ground.
He instantly thought: "You poisoned me? Your dagger is poisoned."
Jiang Shi said calmly, "It's just a matter of reciprocity. Compared to your methods, I am still too merciful to use poison to kill you directly."
Yun Xuan bit her lip, her face gloomy.
He was careless and underestimated the enemy. He thought Jiang Shi was a gentleman who would not engage in conspiracy or intrigue, but he never thought that he would actually poison him.
"If you kill me, even if you escape by chance, you will suffer endless hunting for the rest of your life." He threatened in a deep voice.
Jiang Shi naturally knew the consequences of rashly killing Yun Xuan. With the Yun family's years of accumulation, even if the master was gone, there would still be loyal subordinates who would swear to avenge him until their death, just like after his parents died, his former subordinates tried every means to kill Yun Xuan's parents to avenge them.
When will the cycle of revenge end?
If Jiang Shi was alone, he would naturally not be afraid of being hunted down by Yun Xuan's men, but he also had his fiancée Yu Tanqi, and he had to ensure her safety and not put her in danger with his own hands.
So he whispered, "I won't kill you now. I'm here just to warn you not to have any improper thoughts about my fiancée, and to return our cats and dogs to us."
Yun Xuan seemed very surprised: "You actually came to Prince Yun's Mansion just for these two little beasts?"
Dafu was still barking from time to time. His voice had become hoarse and weak, but he still persisted, as if he was expressing his dissatisfaction, or anxiously asking for help.
Yun Xuan said coldly, "Animals are animals. They like to bark non-stop and make people upset. You really have the leisure to keep them."
Jiang Shi was too lazy to talk to him any more and said simply: "Give them back to me and I will let you go."
"What if I don't return it?" Yun Xuan looked grumpy.
Jiang Shi was silent.
He looked at his men and said, "Go into the study and bring out the cats and dogs inside."
One of the men in black decisively withdrew from the fight and prepared to rush into the study.
"Stop him!" Yun Xuan said.
Yun Xuan's guards wanted to stop the man in black, but they were entangled by other men in black and could not escape.
Although Yun Xuan had many guards, Jiang Shi's men in black could fight two at a time, and some could even fight three at a time.
Seeing the man in black about to jump through the study window, Yun Xuan frowned and said hurriedly, "Cheng Su, what are you doing standing there watching? Stop him quickly."
Cheng Su spread his hands and said, "I don't know martial arts, I'm afraid of death, I dare not go up."
"Where's your Gu?"
"Didn't you tell me not to leave bugs all over your mansion?"
Yun Xuan's face was gloomy. His body was already weak from the poison and he was almost angry to the point of blacking out.
"You can let go now!" He gritted his teeth.
However, the man in black had already entered the study.
Cheng Su said slowly, "What? What did you say? It's too dark at night. I can't hear what you are saying."
He did it on purpose.
Everyone present could see it.
Cheng Su was very annoyed by the barking of dogs and wanted to cut off the dog's tongue. How could he help Yun Xuan and keep the dog to continue to annoy his ears?
Cheng Su has a weird personality, and Yun Xuan thought he could accept it as long as Cheng Su could do a good job for him.
It's just that Cheng Su is his man on the surface, but he always acts on his own and causes him some troubles, which makes him angry and upset, but he can do nothing about it.
After all, Cheng Su knows how to use Gu, so it is difficult to kill him.
Such a person cannot be controlled, but cannot be killed, but he cannot be let go, otherwise once he is requisitioned by the enemy, he will cause more trouble than when he is under his command.
Yun Xuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Jiang Shi's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
It seems that this moody and unpredictable Miao boy is not under Yun Xuan's control.
The man in black successfully brought out two cages. Dafu was still barking, and when he saw Jiang Shi, he stood up excitedly and wagged his tail.
"Let's go." Jiang Shi said concisely, and the men in black all withdrew. He also let go of Yun Xuan, turned around and quickly left the sight of Yun Xuan and others.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Hou Lang quickly stepped forward to support Yun Xuan. "Do you want to catch up?"
Yun Xuan gritted his teeth and looked in the direction where Jiang Shi left, his eyes dark.
"No, help me back to my room and bring the palace doctor to see me."
"yes."
As Yun Xuan was being supported by Hou Lang as she passed Cheng Su, Cheng Su nonchalantly said, "Are you okay? How did you get poisoned? Fortunately, it wasn't a serious poison. It would have been terrible if you had died."
Yun Xuan ignored him, his expression almost blending into the dark night, making it difficult to see clearly.
Cheng Su didn't care. He looked at Yun Xuan's back and thought about what he had done today, as if thinking about something.
In his opinion, Yun Xuan is not someone who likes to meddle in other people's affairs.
Jiang Shi is now Yun Xuan's mortal enemy. It's a fight between the two of them, either one of them lives or the other. Yun Xuan wants to find Jiang Shi's weakness to attack him. Cheng Su can understand that Jiang Shi's fiancée should be his weakness.
But Cheng Su really found it hard to understand why Yun Xuan stole the dog.
Why did Yun Xuan steal a dog when he could have stolen a person?
