Chapter 164 The Mysterious Man in Black Robe
Chapter 164 The Mysterious Man in Black Robe
The masked woman in black robe who was knocked unconscious by Xingyun slowly woke up and found herself lying in the shadows of the backyard of Jixian Teahouse. She felt an unbearable pain in the back of her neck. The blow was really heavy. She sat up and rubbed the back of her neck. Because she was wearing a nightgown, the occasional tea drinkers or teahouse servants who passed by did not notice that there was a living person lying in the yard.
The woman touched her face and body, and found that her clothes were intact, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't notice someone behind her just now, which showed that the person who knocked her out had excellent kung fu. He must have come to save Miss Shen.
It was already very late at night. Most of the tea drinkers in the front hall had left, and the backyard was unusually quiet.
She could only blame that beautiful man for ruining her good fortune. If it weren't for him, she would have taken Miss Shen Er back to report. What should she do now?
After thinking for a while, the woman decided to try her luck at the elegant pavilion on the third floor. She wondered if Miss Shen was still in the room. She quietly jumped up to the second floor with a tap of her feet, and then jumped up to the third floor from the second floor. She found the room she had just been in, only to see the window half-closed. She crouched over and quietly looked into the room through the window.
The room was dark, and only the messy bed could be vaguely seen in the dim moonlight. The masked woman curled her lips, disdainful of the man who took advantage of her.
She hurried to report back, and she was terrified at the thought of what kind of punishment she would receive. The woman jumped from the window onto the roof of the third floor of the teahouse and flew away, not noticing that there were several tails behind her.
In an alley late at night, a person fell to the ground. It was the masked woman in black. She walked around and came to an inconspicuous house. She looked around and saw no other suspicious people. She reached out and rang the door knocker.
Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong. The knocks on the door were very regular.
Soon the people inside opened the door to a width just wide enough for one person to enter, and the woman in black slipped in.
The Flying Guards landed lightly on the roof of the house, watched the woman enter, then quietly followed her figure on the roof as she crossed the three-story courtyard, and finally hid on the roof of the main hall.
"master."
The woman in black bowed to the man in the room and took off the veil that was covering her face.
That face belonged to Mian'er, the top zither player at Juxian Teahouse.
The man who was called master was standing at the innermost part of the house. Looking down from the roof, his face was blocked by the beam and his facial features could not be seen clearly.
"Where is the person I want?"
Fei Daowei recognized the voice as that of a man.
"Master, Mian'er is incompetent and failed to bring back Second Miss Shen. Please punish me, Master."
"Why?"
"Master, after Miss Shen was knocked unconscious by Mian'er, a man with no martial arts skills showed up and kidnapped her..."
"Waste." The man shouted. "How could Shenshen be taken away by someone who doesn't know martial arts?"
The flying guards looked at each other. This person was called "Shen Shen" instead of "Second Miss Shen". He should be someone who is familiar with the Crown Prince's Consort.
Mian'er knelt down hurriedly: "Master, please forgive me. I was careless." Then she told him how the man deceived her, and how she found out she was deceived and went back to the third floor of the teahouse, where she saw the man and Miss Shen in the elegant room on the third floor.
"What is he...doing to Shenshen?"
The woman lowered her head and said, "It's dark in the room, Mian'er can't see clearly, vaguely... it seems like he is taking off the second lady's clothes."
The man stroked his chin and said with some ill intentions: "Indeed. Shenshen is very beautiful. Any normal man would like to taste her. Even I..."
Mian'er lowered his head and listened expressionlessly.
The Feidao guards on the roof looked at each other, their palms began to sweat. What did they hear? Since it was about the Crown Prince's wife, would the Crown Prince silence them?
"Since there was only that useless guy who couldn't do martial arts in the room, why didn't you bring Shen Shen back?"
"Master, another expert suddenly appeared and knocked Mian'er unconscious from behind."
Perhaps feeling the man's murderous gaze, Fei Daowei saw cold sweat oozing from the kneeling woman's forehead.
The man was silent for a moment, as if he was sizing up Mian'er, and suddenly asked with vigilance: "Since there are masters here, how did you escape? You don't seem to be injured."
"Mian'er woke up and found himself lying in the backyard of Jixian Teahouse, so he went back to the private room on the third floor to check, but found no one was inside, so he immediately returned to report to his master."
"Idiot." The man rushed to her and kicked her hard: "The one who saved Shen Shen must be Zhu Yanxiao. He has asked Fei Daowei to follow you and has now exposed this place." After saying that, he blew out the candles in the room, took out a black scarf and tied it around his face, covering most of his face.
Mian'er was kicked hard. She endured the pain and dared not say a word. She was shocked when she heard her master's words.
Seeing that they had been exposed, Fei Daowei looked at each other, jumped off the roof and landed in the yard outside the house.
I saw that the man was also wearing a black nightgown. It was dark in the room and his face was covered by a veil, so I couldn't see his features clearly.
Mian'er jumped out and landed in the yard: "Master, hurry up."
The man stared at her back and said ruthlessly, "You can't stop it. Rather than being caught and tortured by them and exposing more, it's better to..."
Before he finished speaking, the long dagger in the man's hand flew out and pierced straight into Mian'er's back.
"Chi." The entire blade of the dagger was completely inserted into her back, leaving only the handle slanted outside her body.
Mian'er turned her head in shock and looked at the man, her eyes full of disbelief: "Master, you..." Before she finished speaking, she slowly fell to the ground.
"Trash doesn't deserve to live."
The man in black jumped out of the house and quickly approached one of the Fei Daowei. He punched out with both hands, and instantly released a powerful palm force, which pushed Fei Daowei back several steps. While Fei Daowei was stunned, he jumped onto the roof and was about to escape. Another Fei Daowei immediately jumped onto the roof to confront him. The man rushed towards the other man, punching him in the face, as if he wanted to knock the Fei Daowei down. Fei Daowei turned his head to dodge and was hit by a punch. Before others arrived, the man did not want to fight after the punch was successful. He turned around and jumped up and blew a loud whistle. After a few jumps, he landed on the back of a horse running outside the wall and whipped it to gallop.
The Flying Dao Guards immediately jumped up to catch up, and saw a fast horse galloping in the alley, and several people on the roof jumped to chase. But because they lost the initiative, the other party was riding a horse and was very familiar with this alley. No matter how fast the Flying Dao Guards were, they could not match the speed of the horse, and soon they disappeared.
Fei Daowei who stayed in the courtyard went to check on Mian'er, felt her pulse, and found that she was dead. The dagger pierced her back, and the position was very accurate.
"How cruel." Fei Daowei said inwardly.
The two things the prince asked him to do today were not completed. The woman was dead, they didn't kill her. The person behind the scenes was found, but he ran away.
After the group reunited, they returned to the palace to report to the prince. Alas, they were a little nervous as they didn't know how the two leaders, Xingyun and Liushui, would punish them.
Another team of Flying Guards brought the unconscious Zhu Chutang out of the private room, pried open the Sixth Young Master's mouth, and fed him some kind of medicine according to the Crown Prince's instructions.
An hour later, Young Master Zhu Liu woke up in his own courtyard in the palace. He felt dizzy and his mouth was dry. He called out, "Someone come."
The servant immediately entered the room: "Sixth Young Master."
"Why is this young master in the mansion?"
"My lord, you don't know that you were beaten by thieves in the private room of Jixian Teahouse. When they were about to rob your gold and silver, the prince arrived and beat the thieves and saved you. When the prince sent the Sixth Young Master back to the palace, Concubine Huo's eyes were swollen from crying."
Zhu Chutang rolled his eyes and recalled the situation in the room just now. Could it be that the person who injured the woman in black just now was Zhu Yanxiao? In order to save Shen Shen, he found the elegant pavilion on the third floor, saw the woman in black and injured her, saving Shen Shen and me?
No, I flirted with his woman and held a dagger against Shen Shenshen's neck. Given Zhu Yanxiao's temper, how could he let me go so easily? And was he kind enough to send me back to the palace?
"Zhu Yan... did your brother say anything?"
“Uh…” The servant’s eyes flickered.
"explain."
"When I went to help the young master back to Chui Si Courtyard, I heard the prince and Concubine Huo say that the young master had married today, and he sent the young master back home for the sake of the prince, but the brotherhood would no longer exist after today. The prince also said... after today, he would no longer have a brother like the young master. Concubine Huo asked what the young master had done, and the prince said that he was too embarrassed to speak up and asked her to ask you."
"You don't recognize me as your brother?"
"My lord, I...my son heard the prince say this to Concubine Huo." The servant said tremblingly.
It seemed that he had indeed angered Zhu Yanxiao. He said such treasonous words to his biological mother, which showed that he was not afraid of his father's punishment at all and was determined to break off all ties with him.
If the Crown Prince takes the position of Prince in the future, there will be no place for him and his biological mother in the palace.
