She glanced back at the fighting on the high walls and green tiles, at Qingshan!
The enemy wielded long swords, constantly thrusting towards Qingshan. Although Qingshan was a formidable martial artist, he lacked a suitable weapon!
Xiao Ju’s heart pounded with panic!
She knew she couldn’t just wait for death!
She looked around!
In a corner, she spotted an iron rod!
She rushed forward, picking up the iron rod!
She wanted to hand her weapon to Qingshan, but she didn’t know how.
Shouting now would only attract the enemy’s attention!
If the enemy turned on her, Qingshan would have to protect her! This would be even more disadvantageous!
Xiao Ju dared not move rashly, nor did she dare to cry out!
She clutched the iron rod tightly, watching Qingshan’s struggle!
If Qingshan was injured, she would find a way to rush forward!
At first, it was one-on-one. Even without a weapon, Qingshan managed with ease!
Later, another enemy arrived!
This time, Qingshan was clearly struggling!
Seeing two men fighting one, Xiao Ju’s heart ached!
What to do? What to do?
Think of a way quickly, how to deal with the enemy!
Xiao Ju paced back and forth in the corner!
Just as she was in doubt!
At some point, Qin Yun arrived behind her!
Sensing someone behind her, Xiao Ju felt a pang of fear, initially thinking an enemy was approaching!
She turned abruptly, ready to strike the person’s head!
Upon seeing Qin Yun, she stopped herself!
“Young Master, didn’t you leave?” Xiao Ju’s voice was barely audible, afraid of attracting the enemy’s attention!
Qin Yun ignored Xiao Ju and looked up at Qingshan!
“Want to help him?”
Xiao Ju nodded. “Yes.”
Qin Yun took out a slingshot and a marble. He pulled back the elastic band and aimed at the enemy’s head!
*Swish!*
The marble flew towards the enemy’s head!
“Ah!” One of the enemies sustained an injury to his forehead!
Taking advantage of the enemy’s distraction, Qingshan drew a dart from his waist and shot at the enemy’s legs!
With one dealt with, only one remained. Qingshan now found it easier to handle!
In a few moves, he subdued the two disguised dark guards!
Seeing that Qingshan was unharmed, Xiao Ju cheered happily from her corner!
Qingshan bound the two and tossed them before Qin Yun. “I thank my master for your timely assistance!”
Qin Yun glanced at Xiao Ju and said, “If you want to thank someone, thank Xiao Ju. She couldn’t rest easy about you and insisted on staying!”
Qingshan looked up, his gaze fixed on Xiao Ju, his eyes filled with affection!
Xiao Ju lowered her head, blushing. “I wasn’t worried! He’s so skilled, I wasn’t worried about him at all!”
Qin Yun’s face darkened!
This girl was full of lies!
She was clearly worried but refused to admit it!
If Qingshan had been injured today, she would have cried for at least ten days and a half month!
Having no interest in the young couple, Qin Yun turned his attention to the captured enemies!
“Who sent you, and why did you attempt to assassinate me?”
The two remained silent, even glaring at Qin Yun coldly.
Qin Yun was unfazed and even smiled. “Even if you don’t say, I know. It was Prince Duan who sent you, wasn’t it?”
The two were stunned for a moment, then began to speak!
But as soon as they opened their mouths, they bled from all seven orifices and died!
Upon witnessing this, Qin Yun’s face was filled with astonishment!
Xiao Ju also retreated in fear, while Qingshan shielded Xiao Ju, signaling her not to be afraid!
“Young Master, what happened? Why did they suddenly die?”
Qin Yun stepped forward to examine them!
He checked both their faces and then pulled open their clothes to examine their chests!
Finally, he said with regret, “Before they undertook their mission, they were poisoned!”
Xiao Ju exclaimed, “Meaning, whether they succeeded or failed in their assassination attempt today, they would die afterward?”
“Yes.”
“Who would be so cruel!”
Qin Yun sneered, “Who else could it be? It must be that Prince Duan’s doing!”
“Alright, let’s return to the mansion first. In the future, if there’s nothing urgent, try to go out less!”
Upon returning to the mansion!
Xiao Ju intended to attend to Qin Yun, but Qingshan immediately carried her back to their room!
“Hey, put me down quickly! What do you want in broad daylight?”
Qingshan remained silent, carrying Xiao Ju into the room as if it were natural!
Inside the room!
Qingshan gently set Xiao Ju down!
His eyes were fixed on her!
Xiao Ju felt embarrassed by Qingshan’s gaze and reprimanded him, “What are you looking at? You see me every day, haven’t you had enough?”
“Not enough!”
Xiao Ju pretended to be angry, “I still have work to do. I’ll let you look later!”
Qingshan took Xiao Ju’s hand and said seriously, “If a situation like today happens again, you will leave with your master, don’t stay behind to risk your life!”
“I wasn’t risking my life. See, I’m fine, aren’t I?” Xiao Ju spun around in place!
“If you don’t listen, I will…!”
“You will what?” Xiao Ju put her hands on her hips, her expression stern!
If Qingshan dared to say anything improper, she would fight back!
Qingshan wanted to be firm, but seeing Xiao Ju’s fierce look, he immediately shut up!
“Nothing!”
“Don’t flatter yourself. I don’t care about your life or death. I stayed today just to watch the show!” Xiao Ju still refused to admit she was worried about Qingshan!
“Is that so? Have you seen enough?”
Xiao Ju shrugged. “It was alright! The fight was indeed quite spectacular! I have to admit, your martial arts are truly good!”
“Since my wife is so satisfied, shouldn’t you reward your husband?” He wrapped his arm around Xiao Ju’s waist, leaned down, and kissed her without hesitation!
Xiao Ju had grown accustomed to Qingshan’s sudden kisses!
To be honest, she had been truly frightened today!
Fortunately, Qingshan was unharmed!
Thinking of the day’s fight, Xiao Ju also became more proactive!
They kissed passionately, eventually collapsing onto the bed together!
The next day!
Fang Jing arrived at the Zhuangyuan Mansion early in the morning!
Because Xie Qianmo wanted to see Qin Yun, Qin Yun had no choice but to comply. She obediently got into the carriage and went to the palace!
In fact, she was also planning to see Xie Qianmo. And to inquire about Ouyang Siqing’s matter!
“Your Majesty!” In the imperial study, Qin Yun stood obediently before Xie Qianmo!
Xie Qianmo scanned Qin Yun from head to toe!
Confirming Qin Yun was unharmed, he finally felt relieved. “There were assassins who tried to kill you yesterday?”
So that’s why she was summoned to the palace!
“Yes, but I am fine, perfectly well!”
“It is I who failed to protect you!”
Even though Qin Yun was not injured, Xie Qianmo still felt self-reproach!
“Your Majesty, you worry too much. I told you, I am fine!”
“I already know. Xie Wuyou sent people to assassinate you! He would resort to such unscrupulous means to obtain the Piao Xiang secret recipe of Qin Ji Wine House. I will not let him off!”
Xie Qianmo clenched his fists. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if anything happened to Qin Yun!
“Your Majesty, what do you plan to do next?”
“Li Fengsheng is yours to deal with, and Xie Wuyou is mine. How about it?”
Qin Yun nodded with satisfaction. “Alright, I will follow Your Majesty’s arrangements!”
She had intended to deal with Li Fengsheng personally from the start!
“Before concluding matters, I wish for these two to turn on each other, to fight to the death, and then we can reap the benefits!”
Gently pinching Qin Yun’s nose, he said tenderly, “I didn’t realize you were quite wicked!”
“However… I like it!”
