Moreover, they did not notice this person’s existence at all before this, as if he had appeared out of thin air.
Shen Yijia attributed You Yi’s sudden outburst to her and shouted even more enthusiastically. “You Yi, on the left!” “You Yi, on the right!”
“You Yi!”
She was so focused on the fight in front of her that she did not notice that the expressions of the people around her were becoming more and more strange.
Song Jingchen pursed his lips and glanced at the whip that had fallen to the ground. He reached out and grabbed it before joining the battle.
Shen Yijia was stunned. She watched as Song Jingchen shuttled between the men in black, whipping them one by one. She was excited and worried.
Afraid that a sword would land on him, she quickly pulled out the long whip at her waist and shouted, “Hubby, let me help you.”
Song Jingchen was speechless.
Looking at the one-sided situation in front of him, South Wind thought for a moment and also drew his sword and rushed in.
In the end, he realized that he was useless.
“Who’s there?” A stern voice came from afar.
Song Jingchen glanced at You Yi. The latter understood and slashed out with his sword. After forcing the men in black back, he knocked out one of them and carried him into the night.
At the same time, a pair of city guards rushed over.
Song Jingchen took the opportunity to bring Shen Yijia away from the center of the fight, leaving the battlefield to this group of soldiers who had suddenly appeared.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the man in black ignored him and casually picked up his injured companion who had fallen to the ground beside him. They swiftly retreated.
The city guards chased after him for a few steps, but they realized that the men had disappeared in the blink of an eye. They could only run back awkwardly.
“Commander Qian, the assassins escaped.”
The man called captain kicked him angrily. “Can’t you see that I’m blind? Hurry up and chase after them.”
“Yes.”
The corners of Shen Yijia’s mouth twitched. They couldn’t even catch up just now. Were they sure they could catch up now?
“Are you injured, Earl Zhongyi?” Commander Qian cupped his hands and asked. He noticed the woman beside Song Jingchen and paused.
Song Jingchen glanced at him and took a step forward to block Shen Yijia behind him. “It’s time to strengthen the security in the capital.’
Commander Qian felt a chill down his spine and quickly retracted his gaze. He said respectfully, “Yes, I’ll definitely pay attention.”
Song Jingchen nodded and didn’t say anything else. He was angry at being attacked, so he reminded the guards a little. If he said too much, he would be overstepping his boundaries.
Noticing the shattered carriage and fallen horse in the middle of the road, Commander Qian suggested, “The streets are not safe. I’ll get someone to drive a carriage over to send you home.”
This place was still a distance away from Liu’er Street, so Song Jingchen naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Soon, a soldier drove the carriage over. Shen Yijia had already stepped on it with one foot. She thought of something and retracted it. She ran to the damaged carriage and pulled out the ice mirror.
This thing was very expensive.
Seeing this, Song Jingchen also went over and picked up a few things that could still be used.
The couple’s actions stunned everyone present.
After confirming that what was left was only wood, Shen Yijia climbed into the carriage in satisfaction.
“By the way, help us deliver that horse.”
The loss of a horse was already huge enough. They could not lose the horse meat.
Shen Yijia was most glad that Xiaohua’s stamina was poor. She didn’t give it to Song Jingchen, but left it at home for her to use occasionally.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to eat its meat after giving it a name.
Commander Qian was speechless.
When they arrived home, Madam Li and the others had already retired into their rooms.
Only MO Yuan, Thirty Thousand, and the others were waiting at the door.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Commander Qian, Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia returned to the backyard.
In the cellar, You Yi squatted beside the man in black and drew circles.
Although she could not see his face clearly, Shen Yijia inexplicably felt that he was about to die of conflict.
“What’s wrong?” Song Jingchen asked.
You Yi looked up. “He’s dead.”
Song Jingchen went forward and pulled off the veil on the man in black’s face.
A black line of blood at the corner of his mouth was especially eye-catching.
You Yi must have flown too quickly and the man up.
He knew that he was no match for You Yi, so he chose to commit suicide by taking poison.
You Yi was very innocent. He glanced at Shen Yijia and disappeared on the spot.
Shen Yijia gritted her teeth. “Could they have been sent by the useless emperor? We’ve already helped him find the Eldest Prince. He’s going to kick someone to the curb when they’ve outlived their usefulness!”
Song Jingchen hadn’t had time to tell her about what had happened today, so Shen Yijia didn’t know that not only would the current emperor not kill Song Jingchen, but he would also rely on him even more.
However, Song Jingchen knew this. He shook his head and checked the palm of the man in black. “It’s not him. These assassins were sent by the Yan family of the Wu Kingdom.”
When he went to Xunyang City back then, the people chasing after him looked exactly the same as these men in black.
Later on, Shopkeeper Wang found out that they were death warriors from the Yan family of the Wu Kingdom..
