Marriage of the Di Daughter Chapter 116 Part 4: Protect
Before he reached the backyard, a thick b.l.o.o.d.y smell could be perceived in the air. Feng Yu Tang held back his nausea and walked inside. Before he reached the middle of the garden, he saw twenty corpses arranged neatly on the ground.
To say that they were corpses, Feng Yu Tang had not seen clearly, but there was no need to. Due to the snow during the night the bodies were covered by a layer of snow, ice cold and hard, long since without any breath. The bloodstain had solidified. Feng Yu Tang took a step back, supported himself on the pillar in front of him to prevent himself from falling.
He counted three times in his heart, exactly twenty people.
Twenty people, he dispatched a total of 20 of his people, there’s also three people from Princess Yongning. Now there are 20 people here, where are the other three?
Feng Yu Tang asked, “What about the other people?”
The subordinate who ran to him earlier stepped forward, with a restrained panic in his tone, he said, “Master, altogether, there are 20 people. There’s no trace of the other three people, unable to find them.”
Unable to find, it’s not certain that they are still alive. That’s right, Princess Yongning’s people are outstanding, they won’t die so easily. In Feng Yu Tang’s heart, a bit of hope rose. He asked, “Did you find their tracks?”
The subordinate shook his head, “Cannot find their shadows, but beside the swamp in the woods, their weapons were found….. Master, it’s very likely that they….. Everything points to a disaster.”
Feng Yu Tang felt blackness in front of his eyes, nearly fainting. When his consciousness returned, he immediately scolded. “There were 20 of them, went to kill seven people! They could still be completely wiped out! Were they raised by dogs? What a waste!” He scolded anxiously, Feng Yu Tang’s chest rapidly went up and down, as if he couldn’t catch his breath. Even so, his subordinates could hear the ire and panic in his voice.
Feng Yu Tang was scared.
That’s 20 people, all were his subordinates. Now, his subordinates who had the best martial arts were reduced to 20 names all at once. The remaining ones wouldn’t do. Without Princess Yongning’s a.s.sa.s.sins, he couldn’t do anything. Let alone moving his hand on Jiang Li, if Ye Ming Yu were to come over and kill him, his current subordinates were unable to protect his life.
That’s right, Jiang Li, Ye Ming Yu, it’s unknown what their condition is now! For the time being, no need to be concerned about Ye Ming Yu, how about Jiang Li? If the people had already taken Jiang Li’s life before they died, it wouldn’t be so bad. At least he did not mess up Princess Yongning’s a.s.signment and she would not blame him. She might even help him to hide everything. Everything is okay as long as Jiang Li dies!
“What about Jiang Li?” Feng Yu Tang grabbed the subordinate who informed him just now. He asked, “What about Jiang Li? Did she die? Did she die?”
His eyes were bloodshot, his appearance terrifying, really frightening. The subordinate who was grabbed took a step back and slowly shook his head.
Feng Yu Tang’s heart gradually sank.
“Miss Jiang second and the tall man came out of the house in Qingzhi Lane early in the morning and walked around everywhere, they were safe and sound.”
Feng Yu Tang lost his power and released his hands.
The a.s.sa.s.sination failed, he lost 23 people while Jiang Li was unscathed. She even dared to wander about in the county on the second day. This was provocation, or perhaps confidence.
Thinking about it, the 20 corpses in the back garden of the county yamen was a return gift from Jiang Li. It seemed that she was aware that the people who came to a.s.sa.s.sinate her were Feng Yu Tang’s people. After she harvested all his people, she calmly and unhurriedly sent the dead bodies back to let him see clearly and thoroughly that this was the end.
She was really truly fearless.
However, he had no other way out. He was clear that Jiang Li and her entourage were just as dangerous but he knew better that Jiang Li must not stay. Not just because he could not disobey Princess Yongning’s command, but rather, because Jiang Li knew that he had acted on her. If he could not kill her, when Jiang Li and Jiang Yuan Bai met, perhaps no need to wait until that day, he would die in Jiang Li’s hands. She definitely would not let him off.
This was a war between two people, either Jiang Li died or he died. He must fight till the end.
“Keep sending people, chase and kill Jiang Li.” Feng Yu Tang said with hatred.
“Master…..” His subordinate looked at him in astonishment, as if he did not understand this decision, “I’m afraid…..”
“Afraid of fart!” Feng Yu Tang scolded him, “What do you know, still not going yet! If you go too late, we will lose our lives!”
This road was really going to go dark.
……
In the wine shop across the yamen, We nJi said, “Master, Feg Yu Tang once again dispatched a group of people to kill Jiang second miss.”
Ji Heng sat on a chair, looking inside his tea cup. He looked a lot gentler than usual, gazing out of the window, no one knew what he was thinking about. In the world of ice and snow, his red clothes looked even brighter, his lips were also as attractive as petals.
After a long time, he said, “Find someone to make arrangements.”
Wen Ji accepted the order and left.
Lu Ji, who was sitting beside him, looked at Ji Heng thoughtfully. Without speaking, since he became aware that last night, Jiang second miss was chased by Ji Shuran’s and Feng Yu Tang’s groups of people, a stone was suspended in Lu Ji’s heart. Such combination, even if Jiang second miss had great ability, it’s difficult for her to escape. But he did not expect that the one following Jiang second miss last night was not Wen Ji, but Ji Heng. Moreover, Ji Heng, who had never gotten involved in other people’s domestic affairs all along, suddenly moved his hands to help. This really made people flabbergasted.
Ji Heng was not someone with a gentle and tolerant heart. It was even more unlikely for him to be benevolent and draw his sword to help. But after all was said and done, he still moved his hands. In addition, afterwards, towards Miss Jiang second, he surprisingly still demonstrated a kind of protective stance. Regardless of the purpose, whether it was to make use of or for other intentions, Miss Jiang second had unexpectedly succeeded.
Using an unimaginable way, the master was pulled into this marvelous play and the master entered.
There’s no way to know what the master’s thoughts were, but Lu Ji felt that Miss Jiang second was truly awesome.
