Chapter 238 Red Gate
Chapter 238 Red Gate
Jiang Youzhen held his aching shoulder, and his chest was still a little stuffy. The previous fight with wild animals in the mountains was not enough, and he underestimated the warriors of this dynasty.
She was overwhelmed by those deadly moves. Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't have enough internal strength.
No! I have to go back and discuss with the system to see how to increase my internal strength.
"It is indeed your fault. Your master asked you to protect me, so you should have done your best. If I hadn't been prepared, I would have died just now.
If I die, your master won't get anything. Don't think my life is unimportant. If you ruin your master's business, I think there's no need for you to live."
Jiang Youzhen was very angry, very, very angry. It was so dangerous just now. If the system hadn't issued a timely warning of danger, she would not have recovered yet!
When he thought of this, how could Jiang Youzhen still have a good face towards these three people? The guards with such advanced martial arts skills did not even have this little vigilance.
"Please calm down, young master! We will report this matter to His Highness and accept the punishment ourselves. But before that, we must first ensure your safety. We were entangled by the enemy just now and did not rescue you immediately. We just hoped that your life would not be in danger. After all, those people wanted what you had in your hand."
In fact, Chen Yi and his team were also overwhelmed just now. The assassins of Hongmen were not ordinary people. There were only three of them, and the other side had five people. They had also set up a lot of traps and had a lot of hidden weapons in their hands. It was not easy for them to deal with it.
"What was the result? You saw it too. They came here just to kill me. They didn't want the things in my hand at all. Besides, even if you just kidnapped me, could you guarantee that I would be able to escape? I value my life very much. If my life is gone, what's the point of having the things? Naturally, I can only exchange my life for theirs."
Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly. No matter what, these three people didn't try their best.
"Yes! Calm down, but these people are weird. Why don't you think about whether you have offended anyone? Logically speaking, they shouldn't want to take your life right away and even send out the Red Gate killer for this." Chen Yi was very confused. It seemed that they must be careful in the future.
"I never make enemies with anyone, so how could I have offended anyone? I don't know what organization the Red Gate you are talking about is. Their desire to kill me must be related to the memorial."
After Jiang Youzhen felt his shoulder was better, he immediately urged everyone to get on the carriage.
"The young master's carriage is destroyed. Please wait and we will go back and replace it for you."
"Go back quickly!" Jiang Youzhen didn't care whether the carriage was broken or not at the moment. Since those people could come to kill me, they might also extend their evil hands to my family.
Sitting in a carriage that was leaking air everywhere and the frame was about to fall apart, Jiang Youzhen shrank his neck. He felt a little cold, but it was spring now, so Jiang Youzhen could still bear it.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the door of his house, Jiang Youzhen hurried back home.
"Father! Mother!"
"What's the matter? Why are you so impatient? Why did you come back so late today? It's already dark." Shen's voice rang out in the kitchen. As soon as she walked out, she saw Jiang Youzhen in a disheveled state and was immediately startled.
He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Jiang Youzhen over. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so dirty? How many times have you rolled on the ground? Ah! Why is it broken here? Are you hurt?"
"No, the carriage rolled into a ditch and there was an accident. Where's my father? Where are my sisters?"
In the next two days, my second and third sisters will also go to the town to set up the embroidery shop. In two or three days, it will be an auspicious day and the shop can be opened.
"You've come back a long time ago! Why are you so careless? If you don't know how to drive a carriage, let Shuisheng pick you up." Shen glanced at Chen Yi and the others, with dissatisfaction in her tone.
She could see that these people were not farmhands at all, but rather guards with some skills. Moreover, they were not guards hired by her daughter. Their eyes revealed rebelliousness and some contempt for her family.
Shen is illiterate and has little knowledge, but she is older and has more experience.
"What about my elder sister?" Jiang Youzhen thought about it and still felt uneasy. "Chen San, go to the blacksmith shop in the west of the town right away and see if my elder sister and the others are safe?"
Jiang Youzhen had previously asked two other people to go to the town to follow Daya and the others. Now that he thought about it, ten guards were not enough.
Shen wanted to say something but stopped herself, but Jiang Youzhen still didn't explain and just said that he was hungry.
Late at night, Jiang Youzhen held his breath and listened to the movements around him. Now that Chen Yi and the others were protecting him, Jiang Youzhen didn't even dare to take anything out of the space.
But she still needs to think carefully about what happened during the day.
The Red Gate, as Chen Yi just said, is an assassination intelligence organization that takes on any business, even those in the court.
However, there is one thing: they can gather intelligence, but they will not do it if they are asked to kill court officials.
But why did they want to kill her right away? Didn't they want to take back their things? She couldn't help but think of the Zhou family. Could it be that the Zhou family found out that it was her who did it, so they killed her to silence her?
But the Zhou family is already in a difficult situation now, right? Last time she wore a human skin mask, and those people definitely couldn't recognize her.
There is only one explanation: the other party does not want the things, but wants to prevent them from falling into the hands of their own forces.
If this is the case, whoever gives business to Hongmen is the mastermind behind this iron ore case.
After thinking it through, Jiang Youzhen planned to go to sleep. He placed the long sword beside him. Although the three people were squatting outside the door and on the beams, Jiang Youzhen still didn't dare to believe them.
The next day, Jiang Youzhen got up early as usual to practice calligraphy.
"Eh? Xiao Lang, were you out stealing last night? Why do you look a little unwell? Are you feeling unwell?"
Erya looked at the dark circles under Jiang Youzhen's eyes and couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Let me see if you have a fever." She heard that Jiang Youzhen's carriage fell into a ditch yesterday, so she wondered if he had been frightened, as he looked so sick.
Jiang Youzhen yawned, "Nothing, I just didn't sleep well."
She still had a tough battle to fight today. When she stepped into the private school in the morning, the system's reward made her very disappointed.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the daily sign-in task of Yunshang Private School (7/7), and the host is rewarded with two cat's eye stones and a special safety rope]
"Tongzi! Can't you be more reliable? Instead of doing these flashy things."
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. Why not give her something more practical? She almost died yesterday. What about the inner strength? Can't she be rewarded?
[Dear host, the system triggers rewards based on the life direction you chose before. If you want other types of rewards, then do more sign-in tasks! Unlocking new locations and tasks will have random rewards, and maybe there will be what you want in them]
All in all, it was because I chose the option of taking the imperial examination to become an official.
"But you helped me choose this, otherwise how could I be so miserable?" Jiang Youzhen snorted coldly.
She had never seen cat's eye stone before, but she was more interested in the special safety rope. She didn't know what the special features of this thing were.
