The man's attitude aroused Xi Honglei's suspicion, and Zheng Siqi stopped the man unceremoniously.
Zheng Siqi looked sharply at the dozen men in front of her. She knew very well whether they were Mu Yunmeng's people. What was the reason for coming to Xi Honglei? Did Xi Honglei offend someone?
When the man saw Zheng Siqi obstructing him, he called other people to join him, and surrounded Xi Honglei and the three of them, trying to forcefully take Xi Honglei away. Zheng Siqi hid Xi Honglei and Hua'er behind her, and moved quickly
Deal with these people quickly.
"Little Miss." Hua'er stood beside Xi Honglei and spoke with a trembling voice. "Don't be afraid, Hua'er will protect you!"
Xi Honglei glanced at Hua'er with a smile in her eyes, but said nothing. She looked straight at Zheng Siqi, Xi Honglei sighed in her heart, she is worthy of being Leng Xiao's subordinate, her skills are indeed extraordinary. Now that she has
Such a master protected her and prevented her from taking action. However, just when Zheng Siqi had the upper hand and those people were about to be wiped out, one of the men took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms and sprinkled it on Zheng Siqi.
Xi Honglei looked at the light blue powder floating in the wind, her eyes trembled, and she quickly shouted: "Siqi! Close your eyes!" Then she pulled Hua'er and quickly stepped back a few steps.
Although Zheng Siqi heard Xi Honglei's warning, she still did not close her eyes in time. Soon, her vision gradually became blurry.
Xi Honglei frowned when she saw Zheng Siqi's appearance. Although Zheng Siqi could still deal with the enemy without being seen, it was obvious that she could not take care of herself and Hua'er as comprehensively as before. In order not to expose herself too much,
Xi Honglei was ready to take out a dagger to protect herself and Hua'er.
"Miss, be careful!" Hua'er suddenly shouted, rushed behind Xi Honglei, and hugged Xi Honglei's waist tightly.
Feeling Hua'er's body hugging him suddenly froze, Xi Honglei turned around reflexively, quickly hugged Hua'er into his arms, and raised his arm to block Hua'er's sharp second sword.
Xi Honglei let go of Hua'er, took out the dagger from his arms with his left hand, and stabbed the enemy. The man holding the long sword fell to the ground the moment he was stabbed by Xi Honglei. He glanced at the second
An enemy rushed towards Hua'er. Xi Honglei didn't care about anything else. When the sword blade stabbed Hua'er, he rushed over quickly, held the sword blade with his hand, and stopped the man's movement. Then he used
The dagger in his hand accurately cut the man's throat.
"Ah!! Miss, you're bleeding!" Hua'er shouted in fear when she saw a blood mark on Xi Honglei's hand.
Hua'er's cry made Xi Honglei feel a little irritated. But while they were struggling to deal with the enemy, a person who shouldn't have appeared at all broke into Xi Honglei's sight.
Ran Yunpo, who passed by this place accidentally, took a curious look after hearing the sound of swords clashing. Unexpectedly, he saw the figures of Xi Honglei and the others.
Ran Yunpo rushed over with a cold expression. After helping Zheng Siqi clean up the remaining people, he turned to look at Xi Honglei. His eyes fell on Xi Honglei's bleeding hand. Ran Yunpo walked to her with a frown and looked at Xi Honglei.
Staring coldly into his tearful eyes.
"Your Majesty." Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunpo's displeased face and smiled awkwardly. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me."
"Can you still laugh?" Xi Honglei's smiling face made Ran Yunpo feel extremely dazzling. Taking a deep breath, Ran Yunpo leaned over without any warning, picked up Xi Honglei by the waist. Then Xi Honglei struggled to leave on his own.
While doing this, he threatened in a low voice: "If you don't want to die, just be honest!"
Carrying Xi Honglei back to the Prince of Chu's Mansion, Ran Yunpo sat on the chair with a chill all over his body, watching intently as the doctor treated Xi Honglei's wound. Seeing Xi Honglei frowning slightly while applying the medicine, Ran Yunpo suddenly lost his breath.
Find a place.
"If you, a woman, don't stay in Xi Mansion properly, why would you run out all day when you have nothing to do?!" Ran Yunpo asked Xi Honglei loudly. "Where did you provoke those people?"
"I'm going out to patrol the store. My father has left the store affairs to me. How can I not do anything..." Xi Honglei answered Ran Yunpo without confidence, "I don't know who those people are.
The imperial court said they wanted to find me, but they couldn't produce a token or handwriting. In the end, they just tried to kill me, and I don't know how I offended them."
Will Xi Yuanshan hand over the Xi family's business to Xi Honglei?
Ran Yunpo's eyes flashed and he looked at Xi Honglei hesitantly. That old fox in Xiyuan Mountain was extremely shrewd, how could he pick on a fool like Xi Honglei? Could it be that Xi Honglei had some advantages that he hadn't discovered yet?
"Who is that woman who knows martial arts?" Ran Yunpo came back to his senses and continued to ask.
"That person was specially hired by my father from the escort agency to protect my safety. Ever since I was arrested by Zhang Heng last time, my father has been worried about my safety. So I always carry a self-defense weapon with me when I go out."
Honglei cleverly found a reason for carrying the dagger. She was also somewhat fortunate that Ran Yunpo and Zheng Siqi did not leave those people alive. In this way, even if she killed those two people, she would not be held accountable.
"Zhang Heng..." Ran Yunpo murmured and repeated the name. After the doctor examined and treated Xi Honglei's wounds, he said to Xi Honglei: "I will take you back to Xi Mansion."
Under the escort of Ran Yunpo, Xi Honglei returned to Xi Mansion safely. Seeing Hua'er and Zheng Siqi who had returned, Xi Honglei's heart that had been hanging around fell to the ground safely.
Ran Yunpo stood in Xi Honglei's room, looking at the furnishings in her room with a disgusted expression. Then he glanced at Xi Honglei who was lying on the bed, not daring to say a word, and said: "I have sent someone to take the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
I brought it to you, just lie down and rest."
"I haven't finished the medicine I was prescribed for my last injury..." Xi Honglei's expression changed immediately when he thought about having to drink Chinese medicine three times a day.
After hearing her words, Ran Yunpo sneered and said sarcastically: "It seems you are quite prepared."
After mocking Xi Honglei, Ran Yunpo left Xi Mansion. Xi Honglei lay on the bed, looking at the cold room, and couldn't help but start to recall what happened just now.
Who wanted her life? Those people were not bad at skills. They were not gangsters, but people who had practiced martial arts. Who would be so aggressive and want to kill her? She had offended her unknowingly.
Who is it?
With her eyes closed, Xi Honglei quickly thought about the things she had done recently and the people she might have offended. Suddenly, Xi Honglei suddenly opened her eyes and remembered Zhang Heng's murder.
Zheng Siqi once said that Zhang Heng was the only child of the Zhang family. The whole family loved him so much. Could it be that the Zhang family hated him, so they sent someone to kill him so that he could be buried with Zhang Heng?
Xi Honglei's whole body ached and she could not sleep peacefully. Fortunately, Lin Wanru came to stay with her for a few hours, which made Xi Honglei feel less bored. And when it got dark and Lin Wanru also left, Xi Honglei finally
Slowly sat up from the bed.
Slowly walking to Hua'er's room, Xi Honglei looked at Hua'er, who was already asleep on the bed with a pale face, and smiled happily. This girl is usually very timid, so it's hard for her to block the sword for him today.
After leaving Hua'er's residence, Xi Honglei wanted to take a look at Zheng Siqi, but she could never find Zheng Siqi. Was she called away by Leng Xiao? Xi Honglei stood in the quiet courtyard, looking up at the sky.
The starry sky was dotted with stars, and he kept guessing. After pondering for a moment, he honestly returned to his room to rest and recuperate.
In the dim room, Zheng Siqi knelt on one knee, lowered her head and said to the man sitting in the soft body: "Siqi is not doing things well, please be punished by the master."
"It's good to know." The man played with the mask in his hand and looked at Zheng Siqi coldly. "You have been with me for so many years, you should know what the fate of losers is. I don't need people who are incompetent. I won't do anything well next time.
If you fail, you don't have to come to see me and just end it yourself."
"I obey your orders!" Zheng Siqi listened to the man's words carefully, and then continued: "I have already investigated, and those people were indeed sent by the Zhang family. The corpses have also been inspected, but there are two corpses among them.
Signs of poisoning.”
"Poisoned?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What did Ran Yunpo do?"
"It doesn't look like he just helped me kill those people and didn't use a hidden weapon. Instead, she killed two people with a dagger."
The moment the man heard Xi Hong's tears, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He waved his hand towards Zheng Siqi who was kneeling on the ground, and the man said in a low voice: "You go back first."
"What about the Zhang family?"
"I'll handle it."
Zheng Siqi stood up and walked out of the room without saying a word. Looking back at the room lit by candlelight, Zheng Siqi sighed heavily. That should be the solution he mentioned. He hasn't done anything for a long time. This is
This time...
It was three o'clock in the morning, but Xi Honglei was too lazy to get up from the bed. She stared at the roof with her eyes open. If Ran Yunshang hadn't stumbled into her room, Xi Honglei felt that she would have stayed down until noon and then got up again.
"Honglei, something bad happened to Honglei!" Ran Yunshang ran to the bedside, breathlessly looking at Xi Honglei on the bed, and said the news that shocked Xi Honglei. "The Zhang family was killed last night.
The whole family was wiped out, and hundreds of people were not left alive!"
"What?!" Xi Honglei was stunned and quickly sat up, "Princess, where did you get this news?"
