Chapter 29 What a Talent
When Yun Chen woke up from his coma, the back of his head felt like it was about to split, his ears were buzzing, and his wrists and ankles were in pain.
She opened her eyes and saw the wet ground. Looking up, she saw Xu Zhan sitting not far away with a gloomy face, surrounded by the guards and thugs of the Yu family.
A large group of people formed a circle, waiting for her to wake up.
She quickly looked at her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu's dog was still a human being. He didn't think of stripping her clothes off, but just tied her up while she was wet.
Seeing her wake up, neither afraid nor worried, and even sighing with relief, Xu Zhan gnashed his teeth in hatred and squeezed out a few words from his back teeth:
"You're such a fucking talent!"
Yun Chen smiled and replied:
"You're flattered, too."
Xu Zhan was so angry that he drew his sword and rushed over, pretending to chop Yun Chen, but he saw that she didn't even blink and looked at him calmly.
Gritting his teeth, Xu Zhan put away his knife, feeling quite helpless and angry:
"You're brave!"
Yun Chen pondered for a moment and said:
"Today's matter is too serious for you to make the decision. You should escort me to see Yu Yangji. He will have the final say on whether to kill me or to chop me up. You should leave immediately and don't waste time."
"Are you fucking telling me how to do things?" Xu Zhan slumped back into his chair, staring at Yun Chen with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.
Xu Zhan is the first-class personal guard of the Yu family. This time he was personally assigned by Yu Yangji to come to the dock to supervise the important task of unloading the ship.
This eight-story iron and wooden assault ship, worth several thousand taels of gold, will be the Yu family's weapon to crush the Huo Gang in the Luozi Waterway transportation.
The task of unloading the ship is important, but not difficult. As long as it is carefully arranged, it will be a great opportunity for Xu Zhan to fight for his position again.
But now, the Yu family's thousands of taels of gold were only exchanged for a small boat, and Xu Zhan didn't dare to think about the consequences.
I'm afraid that considering Yu Yangji's attitude of treating his guards like pigs and dogs, his life is over.
Seeing that Xu Zhan was in a heavy and worried mood, a guard from the Yu family came up to him and whispered something.
Xu Zhan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. Although he still glared at Yun Chen with eyes that seemed to want to dig out his bones and eat his flesh, he slowly shook his head and sighed:
"'Enchanting Smile' is too cruel... This brat and I, after all, serve different masters. If it's just to vent my anger, I'd rather give him a good beating."
After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhan sighed deeply, raised his head and said sadly:
"Never mind, this is my fate. Tie this boy up and send him to be dealt with by the master."
Hearing Xu Zhan's words, Yun Chen, who was also a guard, couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for him.
She caused such a big mess that her bodyguard Xu Zhan might have to pay with his life.
But he neither used despicable means to torture her nor thought of running away. He was a man of integrity.
Thinking of this, Yun Chen felt a little sorry and said:
"My name is Yun Chen. I'm sorry for offending you so much!"
Yun Chen introduced himself and apologized repeatedly with a very serious look, which made Xu Zhan feel a little relieved.
My job is to risk my life. There is probably not much difference between dying at the hands of my own master and dying at the hands of someone else, Xu Zhan thought to himself and couldn't help but look at Yun Chen.
When the Huo family was offering sacrifices to their ancestors, Xu Zhan saw with his own eyes how Yun Chen killed Zhou Li, and how the young master of the Huo Gang supported his guards.
He still remembers the Huo Gang's young master's resounding words:
"My guards are strong men with excellent martial arts skills. I let them run wild."
Although everyone has their own destiny and serves their own master, the life and death of the guards and their rewards and punishments all depend on their master's mood and a word.
But having a master like the young master of the Huo Gang protecting you from behind makes you feel happy whether you live or die.
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhan couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
Although he envied her, he would never betray her.
Even though he knew he would pay with his life, he would still go to see Yu Yangji to confess his crime.
He signaled the two guards to take Yun Chen on board and prepare to set off, while he found a pen and paper and began to make arrangements for his final arrangements with a heavy heart.
But those two guards did not have Xu Zhan's determination.
一将云琛带上甲板，避开胥斩的视线，二人立刻戴上铁甲手套，挥动拳脚，狠揍了云琛一顿。
Although this incident was extremely serious and Xu Zhan was the primary responsible person, the other guards would inevitably be punished as well.
The two guards held their breath, punching and kicking fiercely, and they didn't stop until they were exhausted.
Yun Chen didn't shout or scream, he just groaned a few times when it hurt the most.
"Damn, what a man!" a guard cursed angrily.
Another guard grabbed Yun Chen's collar and wanted to hit him again, but he saw that Yun Chen's face was already bruised and swollen, his body was covered with wounds, and blood was foaming from his mouth and nose. He knew that if he continued to hit him, he would surely die, so he stopped.
After the two guards tied her to the deck and walked away cursing, Yun Chen endured the dizziness, tinnitus, and severe pain all over her body and began to look for a way to escape.
She saw a shovel not far away with a sharp edge that should be able to cut the rope.
But her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't crawl over.
In addition, the Yu family guards who came and went on the deck were all looking at her to death, so she didn't dare to make any big moves.
Just as she was worrying, her ears moved slightly and she heard two subtle sounds, one in front and one behind, breaking through the wind.
With a "snap", the rope that tied her was cut.
Then her ankles loosened and the ropes that bound her feet also loosened.
Another silver light shot out straight out, it turned out to be the Hidden Moon Sword being thrown towards her, landing right at her feet.
It's obvious that someone is helping secretly!
She looked around secretly, but couldn't see who was helping her or where they were hiding.
There happened to be no one passing by on the deck, so she didn't have time to think about it and quickly touched the rope at her ankle, and sure enough, she felt a blade.
She quickly cut the rope on her wrist, and just after a few cuts, she saw Xu Zhan and a large group of Yu family guards boarding the boat, as if they were preparing to set off.
Seeing Yun Chen covered in blood, Xu Zhan was stunned for a moment.
By the time I saw her again, she was supposed to be tied up, but now she had stood up, bent over, and was grinding the rope on a piece of iron that came from nowhere.
Xu Zhan felt as if his head exploded with a buzzing sound.
Before she could even shout "Catch him for me", Yun Chenqiang opened his swollen eyes, grinned, grabbed her sword, smiled at him, then leaned back and fell straight into the river.
Xu Zhan immediately jumped into the water to catch the man, and the other guards followed suit.
For a moment, the surface of the river was as crowded as dumplings. Everyone searched around for a long time but couldn't even see Yun Chen's shadow.
The two Yu Family guards who beat up Yun Chen said to Xu Zhan:
"Brother, that kid got beaten up and is spitting blood. It's obvious that his internal organs are seriously injured. Plus, the ropes around his wrists haven't been untied yet. If he falls into the sea in this state, he'll definitely die. He'll probably have sunk to the bottom by now!"
Xu Zhan wiped the water off his face and looked around the empty water surface. Everyone found nothing. He could only slap the water surface in anger and roar weakly.
Almost at the same time, in Yancheng, which knew nothing about anything—
It has been more than half a year since Yun Chen left Beiningtang with that "young" bright smile.
Huo Gannian often thought: I wonder what kind of magic potion that kid has been given to make Hua Jue and Buyan mention her several times every day.
Although Ye Yan didn't say anything, she always looked into the distance and sighed, just like a woman who missed home.
And there was Huo Luyu. After her body had fully recovered and her mood had gradually improved, she would come to Beining Hall, where she had not set foot for five hundred years, every two days to take a walk, and she kept asking in her words, "When will Yun Chen return?"
It seemed that everyone believed that Huo Gannian knew Yun Chen's movements, and only he knew when Yun Chen would come back.
Every time this happened, Huo Gannian would feel so annoyed that he wanted to kick the table and yell, "I really want to know where that guy is!"
But he couldn't. The depression he had suffered in recent years made it a luxury for him to even curse.
He could only sit quietly in the Beining Hall, with a gloomy face all day long, sulking alone.
Hua Jue knew nothing about this and felt that Huo Gannian was as cold as ever.
He was very disappointed, thinking that Huo Gannian didn't seem to care about Yun Chen, the "good boy" who had made many contributions. He only cared about whether there were any unsigned letters sent from other cities every day.
What made Hua Jue even more puzzled was that every time he heard him answer "Young Master, no unsigned letters have been sent", Huo Gannian's eyes would light up slightly and he would look a little happy.
Hua Jue didn't understand, nor did he want to. He lazily threw the letter that Huo Gannian seemed to be looking forward to, but also seemed not to be looking forward to, on the table, and said to Huo Gannian who had just gotten up:
"Young Master, the letter you've been waiting for has arrived. It's unsigned."
