If it weren't for this person, Yun Chuwei would probably be in trouble.
Putting everything else aside, if Yun Chuwei gets into trouble, Father Emperor will definitely be furious.
At that time, none of them will escape unscathed.
I'm so glad.
Xie Xin thought for a moment, then bowed to Yan Wei again.
Yan Wei quickly stepped aside and said, "This is what I should do. I am Weiwei's bodyguard. I was just doing my job. How can I accept your gratitude?"
Xie Xin was somewhat surprised to hear this.
She had initially thought that this person was just passing by and had happened to save Yun Chuwei.
Unexpectedly, it was Yun Chuwei's guard. However, this one didn't look like a guard at all.
She turned to Yun Chuwei and said, "Weiwei, who is this person? Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "This is Uncle Yan, Yan Wei, who grew up with my grandmother. I usually call him Uncle Yan. I left home when I was young, and he always stayed by my side, protecting me. I didn't let Uncle Yan come with me this time when I returned to the capital because I'll be away for quite a while, and I was afraid he would miss his wife and children. Haha!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Xin immediately called out to Yan Wei, "Uncle Yan."
Yun Chuwei then said to Yan Wei, "Now that you're here, it'll probably be a long time before you can go back. Won't your aunt have to manage everything at home by herself?"
"I've been thinking about it. You might be staying in Kyoto permanently in the future, so I've discussed it with your aunt. We're moving the whole family to Kyoto. Your aunt has already chosen a house and a place to open a restaurant and inn!"
He was originally Yun Chuwei's guard. How could a guard stay in Xian Mountain while the master returned to the capital?
Yun Chuwei didn't say anything, she just nodded slightly.
At this moment, several Embroidered Uniform Guards returned, bringing with them several corpses.
The lead embroidered guard reported to Huo Qingjue, "There should be a few more people, but they moved too fast and are still being chased. These few have all been hit by arrows."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xin immediately bent down to check on the group.
She pulled the arrows off one of the corpses and found that the arrowheads were black.
Finally, she said, "They're all dead! They died from poisoning!"
The arrow wounds that struck them were not fatal, but the poison on the arrows killed them.
Yun Chu raised an eyebrow: "Is this arrowhead poisoned?"
Xie Xin nodded: "It's a poison that kills on contact with blood. Luckily, you weren't injured. If you had, I'm afraid even a celestial being descending to earth wouldn't have been able to save you!"
Hearing Xie Xin's words, Huo Qingjue felt fortunate once again.
"The shape of this arrowhead is like that of the rebels. And this clothing is also rebel-style!" Xie Xin continued, "They all look like the work of the rebels, but there's a flaw!"
Yun Chuwei's lips curled slightly as she slowly said, "Poison!"
Xie Xin nodded: "This kind of deadly poison is extremely rare. The rebels probably wouldn't use it."
Huo Qingjue nodded: "When the rebels appeared, it seemed they wanted to capture the young lady, not kill her. So, they probably didn't intend to kill her at first. Even if they later changed their minds and wanted to kill her, they wouldn't have gone so far as to use poison!"
Just then, another member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard returned and said to Huo Qingjue, "Brother Huo, we followed the trail those people took and chased them to the riverbank, then they disappeared. Should we continue searching?"
Before Huo Qingjue could speak, Yun Chuwei said, "Let them withdraw. There's no need to waste time searching."
She had already guessed who would do such a thing.
Sometimes, when dealing with that person, evidence and facts are not the most important things.
Even if the Embroidered Uniform Guards arrest and bring him back, it won't matter if he doesn't confess.
They can't just kill him, can they? The Tianqi Emperor wouldn't allow that to happen.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingjue said to the Embroidered-Clad Guard, "According to Miss Yun's wishes, withdraw the men!"
-
Xie Sheng and the archers beside him jumped into the river and swam a long distance before reaching the shore. He took some clothes from the person who was there to meet him and quickly changed.
Just as he was about to call for everyone to evacuate, someone suddenly appeared.
That was a group of people.
The leader wore a Yama mask, while the others wore ghost masks.
Xie Sheng looked at the person wearing the Yama mask, his eyes filled with terror.
He asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"
As they were talking, Ghost Face had already made his move.
Although those archers were good at drawing and shooting arrows, their martial arts skills were not high, and soon more than half of them were killed or wounded.
The person wearing the Yama mask walked towards Xie Sheng step by step.
Some people tried to stop him and protect Xie Sheng, but he easily killed them.
Soon, the man approached Xie Sheng.
Memories of his previous life surfaced in Xie Sheng's mind. He trembled all over, wanting to run away, but he couldn't.
The man wearing the Yama mask sneered, raised his sword, and thrust it at Xie Sheng.
At that moment, an arrow came from afar, flying straight toward the man wearing the Yama mask.
The man frowned and dodged the arrow by turning his body aside.
At the same time, he thrust his sword at Xie Sheng.
Because he needed to dodge the arrow, he missed and only struck Xie Sheng's shoulder.
To prevent the man from drawing his sword and giving him a good beating, Xie Sheng gripped the sword tightly.
At this moment, a masked soldier said to the Yama mask, "Sir, his men have arrived. They look quite numerous. We should go!"
