Chapter 428 I'll Give You One Chance
Chu Yanqiu knocked the little emperor to the ground and left the palace in a swagger.
But just as he left the palace and his carriage hit the road, four strange soldiers suddenly appeared.
The two soldiers stopped the carriage head-on and just stood there in the middle of the road, frightening the horses so much that they almost frightened them.
The driver tried his best to hold on to the frightened horse, but when he saw the soldier's horrified face, he was so scared that he fell off the cart on the spot. He completely forgot his loyalty and ran away for his life.
Chu Yanqiu was left alone in the car.
Chu Yanqiu had long sensed the warning of fatal disaster. Through the curtains of the carriage, at the moment when the breeze blew open the curtains, he saw the blurry figures of the soldiers.
He knew immediately what kind of enemy he was facing.
When Chu Yanqiu encountered an interesting rival, a sneer would unconsciously appear on the corner of his mouth.
The next moment.
When the two sides fought in an instant, the originally sturdy carriage was torn into pieces by the powerful fighting force.
After receiving the ambush order, the Blood Talisman could not tell who was the target and who was the innocent person who should not be killed. So all the pedestrians passing by on the street were killed by the strong fighting spirit of both sides, and lay in a mess.
After fighting for about half an hour, Chu Yanqiu was in the upper hand. The four blood talismans were immortal, but the emperor, who still could not defeat Chu Yanqiu, became angry and was killed for the first time.
Chu Yanqiu was quick-witted and swift-handed. He slashed the blood talisman's neck with his knife. Looking at the four blood talismans with their heads and bodies severed, he said coldly, "I want to see if you, the legendary immortals, will put your heads back on your necks and come back to fight me."
Chu Yanqiu left the fight scene carrying a big knife.
But he didn't know that this had just begun.
When he reached the intersection, four blood symbols suddenly appeared, and the two sides started fighting again.
Chu Yanqiu still had the upper hand in this fight. He used the same method as before and chopped off the heads of the four blood symbols.
Chu Yanqiu fought two powerful battles in a row, and his hand holding the big knife was shaking slightly, indicating that he was tired.
He also realized that it was the person behind the blood runes who was using a small amount of blood runes to fight him in a repetitive battle. He could not afford to use up all of them. If he had to fight like this twice, he would be at a disadvantage.
As he retreated quickly, he wondered in his head who sent these blood talismans. Recalling the combat effectiveness of those blood talismans, he felt that they were not like the replicas made by Prince Rui.
"It seems the little emperor is furious. He's not a coward, is he? A ruler of a country cannot be offended?"
If he had known earlier, he would not have argued with the little emperor. He should have destroyed these blood talismans and stood in front of the little emperor to make harsh remarks after the little emperor had no more trump cards.
At this time, in the deserted courtyard of Duke Ji's mansion.
The real Miss Shen, who was favored in people's eyes, actually left the courtyard of the second young master Chu Yanqiu for the first time and ran to the deserted courtyard to see the fake one.
She was wearing a beautiful new dress, and walked into the door of the fake shop elegantly and charmingly, like a fairy descending to earth.
She looked at the guy lying on the ground in a miserable state.
She signaled with her cold eyes to the maids behind her, asking them to retreat to the corridor, close the door, and not disturb their conversation.
When the door was closed, she lowered her head and looked at the ground, while Shen Wen on the ground also looked at her with scrutinizing eyes.
"Aren't you a strong person? How did you get into such a mess? There's no one else here. Can you get up from the ground?"
Shen Wen has been very cautious staying in this dilapidated house these days. Although Chunyu Lihe has freed her from the restraints on her body and she can walk and talk like a normal person, Yuchi Lian has supernatural powers. As long as Yuchi Lian knows that she has recovered, he will definitely torture and control her again.
Shen Wen just looked up at the woman in front of him who looked exactly like him.
For some reason, she gave him a familiar feeling.
There was a moment of silence, but Shen Wen didn't respond to her.
The woman seemed bored and sighed indifferently, "What on earth are you doing, silly woman? Chunyu has already helped you break the forbidden technique. Aren't these few days just giving you a chance to escape? Where can you escape to and not be safe? There's the Narrow Mountain Chaos Space farther away, and it's even easier to hide closer. How could you forget those three houses? If you don't want anyone to find you in that place, even someone as cunning as Yuchi Lian can't find you. And there's Taohuazhai...why don't you go to Taohuazhai!"
The woman had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, which sparkled with joy when she talked about Taohuazhai.
Seeing that Shen Wen still looked dazed, she said, "Are you afraid that the owner of Taohuazhai will harm you? I'm telling you now, don't worry. You are from the same clan, the same origin, and the same roots. The blood in your body was given by her. In her eyes, you are just her child. How could she harm her own child?"
Shen Wen suddenly understood the identity of the woman in front of her. She said, "So, this fake of yours was made up by her."
The woman was stunned. She really didn't expect that Shen Wen could be so smart.
After a conversation, the woman became impatient when she saw that Shen Wen did not agree.
She said, "Time is running out. I advise you to make a decision quickly. As long as you hide under her protection, that Yuchi Lian will not be able to hurt you again. Do you understand?"
Shen Wen raised his head, staring at her with a pair of wise eyes.
She said, "Do you know that old demon Yuchi Lian is planning a bigger conspiracy against you? If you miss this opportunity again, you might really be killed by her."
Shen Wen felt unwilling and slowly clenched his hands as they touched the ground.
The woman was worried about her and couldn't help but try to persuade her again.
Shen Wen said: "I want to kill him. I can't rest in peace until he dies."
"she?"
The woman asked Shen Wen.
Did she think Shen Wen was talking about Yuchi Lian because of the torture he had inflicted on her over the past few days?
Shen Wen said, "I will not be satisfied until I kill Chu Yanqiu with my own hands."
The woman put her mind at ease. She nodded with a relaxed expression, "So that's how it is? You silly child, that's easy!"
She said, "Then let's make this deal. As soon as Chu Yanqiu dies, you will come back with me. Just be obedient! Just be a good child of mine, and I will make sure you live a happy and healthy life for the rest of your life."
The conversation ended here. Her eyes flickered, as if she had sensed something. She said, "I have to go. That old demon Yuchi is back."
After she finished speaking, she immediately slipped out of the door, taking her maidservants and old women with her. She seemed to be leaving like an ordinary lady from a noble family. Only those who understood the mystery would know that her movements were so smooth, just like the Holy Mother of Lingtai, she left for a long distance in the blink of an eye.
They had just left, and Shen Wen, who was lying on the ground, saw Yuchi Lian walking in with a sword in his hand.
Seeing Shen Wen crawling on the ground, covered in dust and dirt, Yuchi Lian finally felt proud.
She said, "You've had a tough time these past few days, haven't you? Those cunning slaves are the best at bullying and mistreating people. You're a useless person like me, as thin as a log. If no one brings water to your mouth, your throat will smoke with thirst."
Looking at Shen Wen lying on the ground with his head lowered, although his eyes and movements were evasive and fearful, the corners of his stubborn mouth still showed a hint of defiance.
Yuchi Lian almost gritted his teeth and pursed his lips.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, she formed seals with her hands and gestured a few times on Shen Wen's body. After that, she said, "You can get up now. I have relieved the pain in your body. Now you are a normal person again. Stand up from the ground."
Looking at Shen Wen who was looking up at him with a puzzled look on his face.
Yuchi Lian said, "I won't tease you. If I say I've untied it for you, then I've really untied it. Why don't you get up quickly?"
Shen Wen then moved her wrists and shoulders and slowly stood up from the ground.
"Try to say a few words."
Shen Wen made a sound and said the words "drink water".
Finding that she actually made a sound, she touched her throat which was sore from thirst, and hurriedly turned around and ran to the table, picked up the broken kettle and poured water into her mouth.
But there were only a few drops of tea left overnight in the kettle, and no more water could be poured out.
"Look at your disappointing appearance. I wonder what that fool Chu Yanqiu sees in you?"
Yuchi Lian couldn't help but shake his head and blurted out.
After saying this, she felt that she was losing her composure in front of Shen Wen, and immediately put on a stern face and said, "I'll give you one chance. Go see Chu Yanqiu later. If he believes you, then it's true. If you're capable and you two successfully rekindle your relationship, I'll let you two go."
Then he saw that silly and cute woman, holding a broken kettle in her hand, just staring at him quietly.
"What? You don't want this opportunity?"
Yuchi Lian asked deliberately.
Shen Wen finally came out of her daze and nodded, "Yes."
The story goes back to Chu Yanqiu on the street.
Chu Yanqiu encountered an ambush by the Blood Talismans again. This time, there were more people coming. There were actually ten Blood Talismans to deal with him alone.
After the battle, the emperor in Chu Yanqiu's body was completely out of control due to his anger.
The emperor's murderous aura was raging in front of Chu Yanqiu, and his state was comparable to that of a runaway beast. If he was not a demon who could think and understand strategy, seeing him covered in blood, with bloodshot eyes and a storm-like aura all around him, anyone who approached would die instantly. He looked so horrifying that everyone who saw him was shocked by his image and had the illusion that they were already in hell.
Chu Yanqiu, who was blinded by rage, not only killed all ten blood talismans, but also slaughtered all the people nearby. On the messy streets littered with corpses all day long, he was the only living person left standing.
But the good news is that his attack this time was very short. When Chihe and his subordinates came to rescue him, Chu Yanqiu gradually regained consciousness.
Because of a life-consuming illness, Chu Yanqiu's body was like a paralyzed machine the moment he regained consciousness. He closed his eyes and fainted.
Chi He brought his men to quickly rescue Chu Yanqiu back to Duke Ji's mansion, called the court doctor to take his pulse, boiled the prepared medicine, and poured it into Chu Yanqiu's mouth. Everyone waited for Chu Yanqiu to wake up soon.
Regardless of how chaotic the situation was outside, all the masters and servants in the mansion were in a panic for two days. Only when they received the news that Chu Yanqiu had woken up did everyone feel relieved.
This time, it was his mother, Grandma Ji, who stayed by his bedside and took care of him for two days and two nights without taking off her clothes.
After hearing the doctor say that her son's life would be safe once he woke up, Second Madam Ji went back to her own courtyard. On the way, she ordered someone to take Shen Wen to Chu Yanqiu's room, where she would serve him.
