Seeing the two of them leaving, losing their purpose and never getting back the wine bottle, Su Yeli hurriedly paid the bill and followed them out, not even caring about his favorite wine.
It was already dark outside when he went out. Mantangchun was on the edge of a straight street, but the shadows of the two of them were no longer visible on both sides, as if they were deliberately prevented from being seen by him.
Helpless, in order to get back his things, Su Yeli had to look for them slowly.
Unexpectedly, he searched around but found nothing. Just when he was about to give up, there was a sound of fighting not far ahead. Su Yeli didn't want to care about it at first, but he just thought of the two people's special disguise and the fact that those people who were not very powerful at the time
Su Yeli immediately thought that the other party was being hunted by the ordinary guards and those killers, and hurried towards the direction where the sound of fighting came from.
When Su Yeli followed the sound to the scene of the fight, there were only a few corpses dressed in black, and Yao Ji and He Man were nowhere to be seen. Seeing this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was taking things from the dead.
It will be weird to think about it when you come back.
Su Yeli carefully inspected the bodies on the ground, but found nothing, so he had to search for the whereabouts of the two men again.
From the sounds just now, it sounded like there were more assassins, so the remaining people must have chased the two of them away. In other words, their situation was still very dangerous.
While Su Yeli was searching, he prayed in his heart that the two of them would not die before he rushed over, otherwise, he would not be able to use the wine flask anymore.
Finally, in an alley, he found the group of assassins and Yao Ji who was cornered.
Yao Ji had retreated to the wall, looking a little embarrassed. A wall behind her blocked her retreat, and in front of her were five assassins in black. Seeing that the knife swung by one of the assassins was about to hit her, a white shadow
But suddenly he appeared in front of her.
A fight ensued. Su Yeli was very skilled in martial arts, but he obviously did not kill him. In the end, when the assassins saw that they were defeated, they all left, but Su Yeli did not catch up to kill him.
Looking at the leaving assassins with uncertainty, Yao Ji said with a bit of complaint in her voice: "Why don't you kill them?"
Su Yeli then looked at her, but he only glanced at her casually, his eyes did not stop on her, and there was a hint of alienation in his cold voice: "They have no enmity with me, why should I kill them?"
Got them?"
He is not a cruel and murderous person. If it were not for the purpose of getting back the wine gourd from Yao Ji, he would not have waded into this muddy water.
Even though Yao Ji is the princess of Daqing, and he is also a citizen of Daqing, what does Yao Ji's life and death have to do with him? What's more, this person just plotted against him not long ago.
"You are letting the tiger go back to the mountain. There will be endless troubles. These people came to kill me, but you ruined their plan. Do you think they will let you go?" Yao Ji relaxed and leaned against the wall behind her, with some gloating.
He said: "Your Excellency has caused big trouble this time. The power behind these people is not ordinary."
Although she said this, Yao Ji's tone sounded like she didn't take those forces seriously at all.
Ever since he guessed Yao Ji's identity, Su Yeli knew that the forces behind those who assassinated her were extraordinary, but so what? He just wanted to get back his wine gourd, and it was fine that those people didn't come to provoke him.
If it comes, he will not be afraid at all!
Su Yeli glanced at her again, his eyes even colder. Of course he knew that what Yao Ji said was the truth, but he knew even more clearly that Yao Ji did not say this out of a well-intentioned reminder, but to drag him into the water and ask him to help.
Deal with those assassins!
Thinking again that Yao Ji had deliberately lured away the assassins with his carriage before, Su Yeli's tone became even colder: "I actually want to get back my wine gourd. The gourd has been with me for a long time. I really can't bear to part with it. I still hope."
The girl is back below."
"This...but the wine gourd is with my guard, and he was separated from me just now." Yao Ji did not explain what she said, but the meaning was obvious. If Su Yeli wanted to get the wine gourd back,
We can only wait until we find He Man.
"Separated?" Su Yeli raised his voice, then looked around to make sure that the person was indeed not here, and then sighed depressedly, "That's all, in that case, I'll take my leave!"
Su Yeli naturally knew what Yao Ji meant, so he hugged his fists and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Yao Ji suddenly said: "If you like fine wine, I have plenty at home, and it is definitely rare in the world. If you can escort me back,
I will make sure you drink enough."
Hearing the word 'wine', Su Yeli's nose twitched slightly, and he stopped subconsciously. He already knew Yao Ji's identity, and he just wanted to keep a distance from her because he didn't want to get into trouble.
This was the reason why he was in a hurry to leave just now, but the temptation of the wine was too great. Su Yeli struggled in his heart, but in the end he still violated his original intention.
Su Yeli was still very confident in his abilities, and the best wine was rare in the world, so in the end, Su Yeli decided to take a risk.
Just for those top-notch wines in Qing Palace!
Turning around, the indifference and alienation on Su Yeli's face had disappeared. Instead, there was a warm smile, and his tone was not as cold as before: "Since the girl has been separated from her guard, it will be dangerous to travel alone.
, I really can’t bear it and am willing to escort the girl all the way home."
After saying that, he frowned again and confirmed in a low voice: "You said 'drink enough'; you are not trying to trick me, are you?"
"Of course not. Although I am a woman, I also know that 'a gentleman's words are hard to chase'; I will never deceive you."
"That's good," Su Yeli felt relieved now, and the smile on his face became more and more friendly, "Don't worry, girl, I will escort her home safely."
Su Yeli is naturally not such an unprincipled person for the sake of wine. Firstly, it is not a bad thing to protect a weak woman from being bullied by evil people. Secondly, his friend is in the Daqing Palace at the moment, and he can just meet his friend again when he goes.
So, he readily agreed.
Worried about the assassin's return, Su Yeli and Yao Ji did not stay outside longer. Instead, they returned to Su Yeli's residence. They got up and left Liyang City early the next morning and rushed to Qingyang, the capital of Daqing.
Originally, Su Yeli thought that although Yao Ji was separated from her guard, once that person was alive, she would return to her master as a guard as soon as possible. Unfortunately, after walking a long way, he did not see He Manxun coming. Gradually,
He had to give up his desire to get back the wine gourd from He Man. In his opinion, since the man didn't come back, he was dead. (To be continued)
