Chapter 53 I'll take you to see her and let her tell you herself.
Yun Si followed her gaze and saw a masked man in black standing on a rooftop not far away, with an eye patch over his left eye.
It was the assassin whose eyes were blinded by Ah Wu's counterattack last time.
It was him.
Who exactly is this person, and why did he want to kill her?
"Sister, hide well!"
Before A-Wu could finish speaking, she had already dashed off like an arrow released from a bow.
She was incredibly fast, catching up with the fleeing assassin in just a few leaps.
The one-eyed assassin clearly hadn't expected A-Wu to be so skilled. In his haste, he fired two more arrows, both of which A-Wu easily dodged.
As Ah Wu drew closer, the assassin pulled a black sphere from his pocket and slammed it to the ground.
With a muffled thud, thick smoke instantly billowed out.
When the smoke cleared, the assassin had vanished without a trace.
"Trying to run?"
A-Wu was so angry that she stomped her feet and chased after him again without caring about anything else. She vowed not to give up until she killed him today.
Upon seeing this, Yun Si suddenly felt a bad premonition.
No, we can't stay here any longer.
She turned and ran towards the alley entrance.
However, after running only a few steps, three men in black with knives appeared in front of her and surrounded her.
"Princess Xiao, please come with us."
The leader of the men in black sneered.
They really came directly for her.
Yun Si took a few steps back, her back pressed against the cold wall.
She forced herself to remain calm, her right hand stealthily reaching for the poison powder hidden in her sleeve: "Who sent you?"
"You'll find out when you get there."
The man in black approached step by step, holding a knife to her neck: "Let's go."
Seeing this, Yun Si knew she couldn't escape and had no choice but to follow them.
Once we get there, we'll look for another opportunity.
The man in black escorted Yun Si to an abandoned temple.
He led her through the overgrown courtyard, pushed open the creaking wooden door, and into the main hall of the abandoned temple.
The hall was covered with cobwebs, and the offering table was covered with a thick layer of dust. Only a dilapidated wooden chair in the center was still intact.
"sit down."
The leader of the men in black roughly pushed her onto a chair, untied the rope from his waist, and quickly bound her hands and feet tightly to the back of the chair.
The knot of the rope tightened painfully around her wrist.
Having done all this, the group left without saying a word.
The footsteps stopped outside the door, indicating that someone was standing guard.
Yun Si lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes concealing the cold light in them. Her fingertips quietly caressed the rough hemp rope, feeling the texture of the knots.
Not long after, a series of slightly unsteady footsteps approached from afar.
Yun Si raised her head and looked towards the doorway.
A young man dressed in a green brocade robe slowly walked into the hall.
The boy had handsome, well-proportioned features, but his face was sinister and his whole aura exuded evil. His eyes were dark and bluish, clearly the result of excessive indulgence.
He Junyang?
Yun Si recognized him.
This person is He Jingjing's younger brother, He Junyang!
“Yun Si”.
He Junyang stood a few steps away, his voice still sharp and shrill, his eyes scanning her up and down with a sinister look, as if he were looking at prey.
"You didn't expect that, did you? I'm the one who arrested you."
Yun Si raised her eyes, her face showing just the right amount of panic: "Young Master He? Why are you doing this?"
Why?
He Junyang took a step forward abruptly, his eyes blazing with hatred: "My sister! Did you kill my sister? Tell me!"
He got excited as soon as he spoke, and reached out to grab Yun Si's chin, his fingertips so strong that they almost crushed her bones.
"A woman like you dares to be Princess Xiao?"
Yun Si frowned in pain, her eyes welling up with tears, her voice as soft as willow catkins in the wind: "Young Master He, you must have misunderstood. Jingjing's death has nothing to do with me..."
Stop pretending!
He Junyang was aroused by her delicate appearance, and his gaze lingered on her face.
The hatred that had been there before was gradually replaced by a filthy desire.
He licked his chapped lips, his tone becoming flippant: "But speaking of which, your face is truly captivating."
He released her hand, his fingertips tracing an intimate line across her cheek: "If you behave and serve me well, perhaps I can spare your life."
A flicker of disgust crossed Yun Si's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
A hint of timid compliance appeared on her face.
"I...I will obey, but being tied up like this is really uncomfortable. Could you please untie me?"
She lowered her eyelashes and said in a soft voice, "I'm just a weak woman, I can't run away."
He Junyang was captivated by her humble attitude, and with his men guarding the outside, he laughed smugly.
"Being tied up like this does restrict your movement. I can untie you, but I'm warning you, don't try anything funny, or I'll kill you right now!"
"Everyone knows I'm sickly. Even if you let me go now and let me run, I'm afraid I won't be able to run."
Yun Si said, feigning self-deprecation.
"You're quite self-aware. I really don't know what Shen Qian saw in you. You're not even half as good as my sister."
He Junyang said that, but his gaze seemed fixed on Yun Si, unable to look away.
He had completely lowered his guard, or rather, he had never been on guard against Yun Si at all.
"Behave yourself!"
He bent down and untied the ropes binding Yun Si's hands and feet.
Just as he straightened up, suddenly, Yun Si's right hand slid out from her sleeve, and a cold, sharp short knife stabbed straight into his chest!
"court death!"
He Junyang reacted swiftly, dodging to the side while grabbing her wrist, his tone mocking: "You think you can take me on?"
His face was full of smug satisfaction: "You bitch, I knew you weren't that honest. Just wait and see how I kill you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Si's face broke into a sinister smile.
Before He Junyang could react, she suddenly raised her left hand, and a cloud of white powder was thrown at his face.
The knife in his right hand was just a feint.
The real killer move was the poison in his left hand.
He Junyang felt a sharp pain in his nasal cavity, and all his strength seemed to be drained away instantly. His limbs went weak and he was about to collapse.
He stared in disbelief, only to see the woman, who had been so frail just moments before, slowly straighten up and look at him with the same gaze she would give a dead man.
Cold and terrifying.
He Junyang realized he had been deceived... no, everyone!
Everyone may have been fooled by this woman!
My sister's death... My sister's death must be related to her!
"You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
He Junyang roared with all his might, but his throat seemed to be covered by something, and the sound that came out was as faint as a mosquito's hum.
He tried to call for help, but he couldn't make a sound.
Seeing the murderous intent in Yun Si's eyes, he finally began to feel truly afraid.
"What...what do you want to do?"
"Didn't you want to know how your sister died?"
Holding the dagger, Yun Si bent down and whispered in He Junyang's ear, "I'll take you to see her and let her tell you herself."
As soon as she finished speaking, she held the dagger to his neck with her other hand, and with a forceful twist of her wrist, a line of blood instantly appeared.
Blood gushed out, and He Junyang's body slumped to the ground, making a hoarse sound from his throat.
Yun Si looked down at him, her voice as cold as ice: "You're welcome."
After speaking, she straightened up, wiped the blood off the knife with a cloth, and her eyes regained their usual calmness.
It was as if she wasn't the one who had just killed someone with a knife.
After wiping the knife, Yun Si pondered how to deal with the three men in black guarding the outside.
Poison needles?
In that case, it would be necessary to kill with a single shot, and to hit three people in quick succession.
Otherwise, if they had time to react, she would be the one to die.
Just then, a startled shout suddenly came from outside the hall.
The sound stopped abruptly.
Immediately following was A-Wu's anxious cry: "Sister! Are you inside?"
Ah Wu arrived just in time.
Yun Si strode forward and pushed open the dilapidated door.
Three men in black lay sprawled on the ground, each with a broken neck, dying a swift and clean death.
Awu stood amidst the corpses, her clothes stained with blood, her face pale with fright, her eyes filled with terror.
"elder sister!"
As soon as A-Wu saw Yun-Si, she rushed over and hugged her tightly, her voice filled with lingering fear and self-reproach.
"I was so scared! Thank goodness my sister is alright. I really shouldn't have left her to chase after that assassin..."
This scare really cleared up A-Wu's ability to express herself.
Her voice trembled with a sob: "I'll never do it again!"
"fine."
Yun Si gently stroked her back and softly comforted her, "Isn't your sister alright?"
A-Wu glanced behind her, somewhat surprised: "This person, was he killed by my sister?"
"Um."
Yun Si nodded and wiped the blood splattered on her face: "So you see, your sister isn't as weak as you think. She can protect herself, so you don't need to worry too much."
Ah Wu sniffed.
After thinking about it, he nodded as a matter of course.
"Sister is amazing, but Ah Wu, you were too impulsive... You'll change next time."
"No, A-Wu arrived just in time."
"I killed the one-eyed man! He can never shoot arrows at my sister again."
"So, Ah Wu did a great job, relieving her sister of her worries."
Yun Si smiled and ruffled her hair, her gaze sweeping over the corpse on the ground: "We need to get out of here quickly."
The two left the ruined temple, walked through two alleys, found a small river, and cleaned up the bloodstains on their bodies and faces.
Luckily, I had packed up the children's toys and Ms. Liu's earrings beforehand, otherwise I would have made a wasted trip today.
Yun Si checked and confirmed that everything was there before preparing to have A Wu take her back to the palace quickly.
Just as the two stood up, they heard footsteps coming from ahead again.
They blocked their way.
Awu quickly stepped forward, protecting Yunsi behind her like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
"A-Si?"
Shen Qian, accompanied by several guards, came from the opposite direction of the dilapidated temple.
Shen Qian seemed a little surprised to see Yun Si here.
What are you doing here?
He looked at her suspiciously, noticing that she and the woman named A-Wu were both disheveled, their clothes soaked, and water droplets dripping from their faces and hands.
"You came here to play in the river?"
He walked towards Yun Si, his gentle face revealing a hint of doubt in his eyes, but his words were full of worry and reproach.
"A-Si, don't you know you can't play in the water? How can you be so willful?"
"No"
Yun Si casually replied, "I just tripped and fell, got my clothes dirty, and came over to wash them."
"Yeah?"
He took another step forward, trying to get closer to Yun Si.
"Where did you fall? Let me see."
Ah Wu blocked him with her arm, preventing him from getting closer.
"A-Si, your younger sister doesn't seem very friendly to me."
Shen Qian narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked in a deep, menacing voice, "Doesn't she know what our relationship is?"
