Chapter 220 Ruo Feng
The next day at noon, it was said that the Madam had just got some fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, so she set up a table and asked Tu Shanjing to come to her place to eat. After noon, I saw that he had not returned yet, so I did as he said and did not wait for him. I called Ruofeng and Xiaohui, who were left in the courtyard, and went to Jiye Restaurant with me in a two-horse carriage.
When we arrived at Jiye Restaurant, the waiter greeted us with a smile. I led them directly to the private room on the third floor where Tu Shanjing and I had met the ghost Fang Duan last time.
It was past dinner time, and there were almost no customers in the restaurant. The waiter served the best Bitan Piaoxue tea, and I said I needed to look at the menu first, and planned to open the window and watch when my cheap cousin would come. Ruofeng raised his hand to give the waiter a tip, and the waiter withdrew with many thanks.
As soon as I opened the window, a low female voice came from next door: "Miss, how about... you think twice? The second young master of the Tushan family is extremely smart, good-looking and talented... not inferior to the eldest young master, and he is also the future designated head of the family, you——"
After I learned how to use spiritual power, my hearing ability improved a lot. The other party was a woman and her voice was crisp, so I could hear her clearly.
I couldn't help but prick up my ears.
The one she called Miss also lowered his voice and replied, "How could I not know? Although Hou is not as smart as him, he is good to me and listens to me, not to mention the affection between Hou and me. Although Tushan Jing is smart, he will definitely not let me manipulate him in the future, so I will definitely choose Hou. But if I choose him, I will still not be the future wife of Tushan. Then only when Hou becomes the head of Tushan family, I will be the wife of Tushan. If Hou wants to be the head of the family, then Tushan Jing...cannot stay."
Windproof and reflective.
It was Fang Feng Yiying's voice.
I heard it, so the other two could hear it too. Seeing Xiao Hui terrified, I raised my hand to signal him not to panic and make a noise that would alarm the people next door. Looking at Ruo Feng again, he only frowned, but he was much calmer.
After hearing her answer, her maid had no choice but to express her loyalty: "Miss, you are right. Xuan Zhou is short-sighted. Whatever you want to do, Xuan Zhou will do it with all his might. When you take action later, Xuan Zhou will be there to defend you. We will leave after we succeed and will not let the Tushan family find any clues."
Fang Feng Yiying chuckled: "The ice arrow melts as soon as it enters the body, and the poison spreads quickly. By the time they react, it will be too late. It will be too late to save him or capture us."
My scalp tingled and the hairs on my body stood up when I heard this. I wanted to rush out and tell Tu Shanjing not to come anymore.
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, followed by a voice: "The distinguished guest from Tushan Mansion has come. Our inn is honored to have you here. We are sorry for not welcoming you! Look at me, a waiter, who is ignorant and actually accepted your——"
Before he finished speaking, there was a "bang" and a big hole appeared in the wall. I saw a flash of green light in front of my eyes, and a person rushed out from the next door. Ruo Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and rushed forward to fight with her!
A pair of embroidered shoes stepped out from the hole in the wall, and I looked up and met Fang Feng Yiying's eyes burning with murderous intent.
I pushed Xiao Hui and said, "Go! Tell the young master not to come again!"
Xiao Hui looked at me and hesitated for a few seconds. I saw Fang Feng Yiying had already raised his bow and arrow, so I pushed him again anxiously: "Go!"
Xiao Hui jumped out of the window, and I breathed a sigh of relief, but then I had to use my spiritual power to wave away the arrow reflected by Fang Fengyi.
My hands were hurting from the shock, but fortunately the distance was short and her arrows had no effect of surprise attack. Listening to the sound of horse hooves coming from near to far, I knew in my heart that how long Xiao Hui could run depended on how long we could delay.
When she saw that she couldn't take me down with her arrows, she stomped her foot, put away her bow, and came forward to fight me with her bare hands.
In this real close combat, I was at a disadvantage. After all, she had strong spiritual power and practiced it regularly. I had no choice but to counter her moves and defend passively.
Ruo Feng over there saw that I couldn't hold on any longer, and suddenly a red light burst out from his hand. A fiery red light shield appeared from his hand and slowly expanded.
Xuan Zhou sneered upon seeing this: "You actually used the death formation? You don't want to live anymore, right? Okay, I'll help you!" After saying that, a flash of light appeared in her hand, and two Emei spears appeared.
Ruofeng threw the light shield forward to cover the two of them, then turned around and said to me: "Girl, hurry up!"
Fang Fengyiying sent a ray of spiritual power towards the light shield in the formation. Xuan Zhou was not to be outdone. He swung his Emei Spear towards the light shield. Ruo Feng's body shook, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth and sent another ray of spiritual power towards the light shield.
I had already run to the window, and when I caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but look back at him.
He gave me a bloody smile, waved his hand and said, "Go! Don't look back!"
I nodded at him, gritted my teeth and jumped out of the window.
A three-story building is not short. Even though I landed and rolled twice to lose momentum, my right hand hit the ground and a piercing pain rose from my wrist.
I didn't care about the pain in my hand. I saw that there was still a horse left in the carriage. I ran forward, cut the rope, jumped on the horse, and squeezed my legs. The horse neighed and galloped away.
Holding the reins with one hand, I could hear the whistling wind and the screams of passers-by. I had no time to take care of them. I prayed for their well-being while cold sweat covered my head and body.
I ran out of the commercial street for an unknown distance and saw that the pedestrians were becoming sparse. Suddenly, someone pointed behind me and said in surprise, "Look! What's smoking over there? Is there a fire?"
"It's in the direction of Jiye Restaurant!"
My tears were blown by the wind to the sides of my cheeks and scattered.
I don't look back.
I rode all the way back to Tushan Mansion and rode in directly from the back door. Somehow there was no guard at the back door, and I didn't have to waste my breath, so I rode all the way to Tushan Jing's courtyard gate.
I got off the horse and grabbed the guard at the door and asked, "Where's the young master? Is he inside?"
The guard was frightened by my aggressive approach and stammered, "Reply, reply to the young lady, the young master, Changbao, Xiaohui, and the eldest young master just went out together. I don't know where they went."
My heart was in my throat when I heard the second half of the story, so I rode my horse straight to the gate of Tushan Houyuan.
"Don't be rude in front of the young master! Get off your horse quickly!" The guard at the gate of Tushanhou shouted at me from a distance.
I got off my horse and rushed in hastily, but was stopped again: "You haven't been notified yet, how can this be a place for you to trespass?!"
I got anxious and yelled, "Don't stop me! I have something important to report to the young master! If you delay, you will lose your heads!"
The guard trembled a bit, but still held his spear to stop me, refusing to retreat.
At this stalemate, Changbao came out from the door and said, "How can you be so noisy? Please invite the girl in. The young master is waiting for her."
The guards then put down their spears. I pushed them aside and ran inside. Changbao quickly took a few steps to catch up with me and whispered, "Don't worry, young master is fine."
