Chapter 129 Surrounded
Chapter 129 Surrounded
Five days later.
"If you can't force it, don't force it."
When Shen Peiqing saw Rong Su standing up from the bed and almost falling, he immediately pushed open the door, put the medicine in his hand on the table, walked over quickly and supported Rong Su.
After he stood firm, Rong Su said coldly, "I said I would be healed in five days, and I wasn't lying."
Shen Peiqing didn't know what to say to Rong Su. He had no way to deal with her. He didn't know why she was so strong-willed, but he knew that this had been her personality from the beginning.
Without saying anything, he let her go and brought her some medicinal soup: "Are you really going back to Xuancheng today?"
Rong Su took the medicine and drank it in one gulp. She felt the bitterness of the medicine when it entered her throat, but this bitterness gave her a sense of satisfaction and clarity.
Looking at Rong Su drinking all the medicine without even frowning, Shen Peiqing's eyes became more and more serious as he looked at her.
After she finished drinking, she put down the bowl, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and said seriously, "My injury is healed now, so I have to hurry back to Xuancheng. The banquet will be in a few days."
Shen Peiqing was silent for a long time. He always felt that Rong Su must be hiding something from him. She would definitely not tell him if he asked her. It seemed that he had to investigate it carefully.
"Since you have made up your mind, then do as you wish."
Unexpectedly, Shen Peiqing was so easy to talk to now. Rong Su looked at him with an incredible look. Shen Peiqing turned his head just in time, and their eyes met. At that moment, they were stunned there again. After a while, it was the sound of the stone that called them back.
"Master, I have something to report."
Upon hearing this, Shen Peiqing looked away first and walked out: "I understand."
After the people left, Rong Su was still in a daze, feeling very strange. Was there something wrong with Shen Peiqing's eyes just now?
But what was wrong? Rong Su couldn't figure it out for a while. It was like the sadness and loneliness that suddenly appeared on the face of a dormant beast in the dark night. Why was he sad?
Still looking at her with that expression, it was strange. There was something wrong with this man since the mining city.
Rong Su shook her head. "No, why would I think about this? What does Shen Peiqing have to do with me? Forget it, let's think about Lian Xin's mission. Why hasn't it shown as completed yet even though I've helped Lian Xin get rid of Li Anguo?"
At this time, the reader popped up.
[Lian Xin's ending is not yet complete, 50% of the progress is completed]
Staring at the progress bar of the reader, Rong Su frowned: "What does that mean? What went wrong?"
It seems unlikely that she could get any information from the reader. Apart from giving her this progress bar, the reader has no intention of answering her questions.
Rong Su was extremely depressed. If this so-called reader was not a human, she would definitely feed it some poison to make it reflect on itself!
Complaining is one thing, but it won't solve the problem.
"What exactly is the problem?" Rong Su lowered her head and thought. At this time, Shen Peiqing, who had left, came to her again and stretched out his hand to her. Before his hand touched her cheek, she quickly came back to her senses and suddenly turned her face away.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Peiqing was slightly stunned, and withdrew his hand from mid-air. His expression was expressionless, and he asked her calmly, "I should be the one asking you what's wrong. I called you several times, why are you just standing there like a log?"
Was she in a daze? Was she communicating with the reader?
She glanced at Shen Peiqing with a guilty conscience, and seeing that he didn't seem to doubt her, she felt relieved and asked, "Why are you back again? Didn't Shitou have something to report?"
He found a chair and sat down. Seeing him like this, Rong Su raised her eyebrows. This guy was really rude. Didn't he have any sense of shame that men and women should not touch each other, or did he not treat her as a woman?
"That's all. Li Anguo is dead. He was killed by a cunning man who could wield the ultimate killing blade."
Rong Su was slightly surprised when she heard the news, but she quickly understood. She looked at Shen Peiqing and said with certainty, "It was someone Jiang Dong sent for."
Shen Peiqing nodded, his voice as deep as the sea: "Yes. He is probably eliminating future troubles. After all, there will be a governor coming to Anping Town for an inspection today. He must resolve all future threats before the governor arrives."
The Governor of Dongdu? Rong Su narrowed his eyes, as if thinking of something. It seemed that there was another reason why the mission failed. The biggest reason was Jiang Dongcai. Li Anguo was just a small-time character.
This mastermind behind the scenes may be the key to solving the problem.
But why did Shen Peiqing tell her this news? It was information he found out himself.
Unable to figure it out, Rong Su stared at Shen Peiqing and said tentatively: "It seems that instead of using the Hundred Gates, you yourself are secretly cultivating the power of investigation."
His eyes flickered slightly as he looked up at Rong Su. There seemed to be a hint of darkness in his deep eyes. His voice was cold and clear: "The Hundred Sects are very powerful in gathering intelligence, but it is not ours after all. Cultivating power will allow me to gain more beneficial things."
What on earth does this guy mean? Ah, it seems he doesn't completely trust her either. That's right, this man is actually a dangerous existence.
She thought that after being with him for a long time, she had let down her guard and believed that he was no longer a threat.
Or maybe I was too careless. He is the biggest villain, the final enemy that the male protagonist cannot match.
The male protagonist, his original partner, Shen Peiqing's half-brother Shen Fengyu.
It seems that the vortex may become more complicated in the future.
It doesn’t matter, let her make this already complicated vortex even more dangerous. Only when it is more dangerous can we find a glimmer of hope.
The next day, Rong Su decided to change her decision to return to Xuancheng and instead return to Wanyue Village.
When Shen Peiqing learned that Rong Su had made this decision, he didn't seem surprised at all, but rather very calm.
It seems that he deliberately told her the information about Li Anguo's death. He hopes that she will return to Wanyue Village. Why?
Now it seems that it is becoming increasingly difficult for her to see through Shen Peiqing.
It actually didn't take too much time to get back to Wanyue Village. The town where they rested was not far from Wanyue Village. They returned to Wanyue Village in less than a day.
But when they returned to Wanyue Village, Xu Cao was gone, and Lianxin's house seemed to have been ransacked, as if someone was looking for something.
Rong Su saw a fisherman walking by and stopped him. The fisherman was startled, but when he saw it was a girl, he was a little less scared, but still remained vigilant: "What's going on?"
"Do you know Xu Cao who lived on the coast? Why is he gone?" Rong Su was a little worried that something might have happened.
The fisherman, upon hearing this, seemed to know Xu Cao. Seeing that he was asking about Xu Cao, he said, "He moved away. He said he had heard about his brother and went to look for his relatives."
Going to find relatives?
"Thank you." He gave the fisherman a silver ingot and he left happily.
Shen Peiqing stepped forward and asked, "Jiang Dong, how are you going to deal with this?"
"What?" Rong Su looked at Shen Peiqing in surprise. How did he know?
He seemed to see through her thoughts. His expression was so cold that no emotion could be seen. He just leaned over to look at her and whispered, "You seem to think very highly of Lianxin. Since you helped her and came back here, you must be planning to help her to the end."
It turned out that he thought so, and it scared her into thinking that he knew something.
Rong Su glanced at Shen Peiqing and said in a dangerous and cold voice, "I'm not helping Lianxin. I'm just taking revenge for myself. I'm a very stingy person."
He stared at her for a long while, his dark eyes becoming deeper and deeper. Just when Rong Su felt that those dark eyes were emitting some unknown emotions, he looked away and said in a low voice, "I can see it."
"Huh?" "Haha, thank you for figuring that out," Rong Su pursed his lips.
Suddenly, Shen Peiqing grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him, his voice as cold as ice: "It seems that another uninvited guest has arrived."
Rong Su was originally wondering why he suddenly caught her, but when she saw two teams of killers in black appear on both sides of them at the same time, she understood what was going on.
"It's Jiang Dong again! It seems that this guy has been sending people to guard this place." Rong Su sneered and glanced at the black-clad killers on both sides.
Shen Peiqing's dark eyes swept across lightly, becoming deep and stern, and he spoke softly: "It's not just Jiang Dong. There seems to be someone else here."
Hearing this, Rong Su was slightly stunned: "Someone else?"
Is there anyone else who wants to catch Lianxin?
He turned his head to look at Lianxin. At this moment, Lianxin's face was pale and she looked obviously frightened by the current scene.
He sighed coldly in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken her back to Wanyue Village. He should have let Shitou send her back to Xuancheng first.
But there was no regret medicine to take, Rong Su shouted to Shitou: "Shitou, keep an eye on Lianxin!"
When Shitou heard this, he immediately protected Lianxin.
Shen Peiqing was standing next to her. Hearing her giving orders directly to Shi Tou, he couldn't help but say in a low voice, "You're really rude. You seem to be giving orders to Shi Tou quite smoothly."
Haha, is this the time to joke? Rong Su glared at him, but he raised his eyebrows slightly at her, looking like he deserved a beating.
The black-clad killers on both sides did not take action because they seemed unaware that there was another team lying in ambush here.
Now that they saw that there were other people working with them, they all became wary of each other. They didn't take the first step and just waited and watched.
"Boss, are those people over there also here to capture Lian Xin?"
"How would I know? What bad luck! I finally got the job, but I ran into someone in the same industry! This guy Jiang Dong doesn't even take me seriously, does he? He thought we couldn't catch this little girl, so he even found more help!"
"Boss, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We must catch him quickly and don't let the people over there snatch him away!"
"Okay!"
So just when no one on the three sides dared to move, the group of men in black on the right had already started to act.
Their goal seemed very clear, which was to go straight to Lianxin.
Shitou protected Lianxin and faced several men in black. Although they were outnumbered, they did not lose the upper hand.
The murderer in black over there started to move, and the group over here also started to act, and their movements were obviously faster than the group on the right.
Rong Su noticed the difference and said to Shen Peiqing, "Lian Xin has no martial arts skills, so she can't hit that many stones. You and I will go and stop these black-clad assassins on the left."
Shen Peiqing looked down and saw that her eyes were determined. He was about to say that there was no need and he could do it alone, but he didn't say it and nodded slightly.
The two of them stood side by side, staring directly at the black-clad killers who were rushing towards them.
Shen Peiqing drew out his long sword, and a cold light flashed on the blade. His speed was fast, fierce and accurate. Every black-clad killer who passed by him fell to the ground in just a moment.
Rong Su was still shocked when she saw how strong Shen Peiqing was, but facing the black-clad killer who was about to come in front of her, she cheered up and threw darts. Although she was not very good at close combat, she was still very good at throwing darts.
He threw several darts, hitting many enemies.
They also seemed surprised that she knew martial arts. They had not taken her seriously at first, but now they began to be a little wary of her.
The darts she threw were aimed at every weak point of the human body. This was all due to her familiarity with the human meridians. After all, acupuncture requires a lot of familiarity.
So every dart is not wasted and hits the enemy's weak points accurately.
She had limited darts and threw quite a few, but those killers were not easy to deal with. Even after being hit by darts, they were able to get up and attack again.
Seeing this, Shen Peiqing dodged and dealt with a killer who attacked her from the side, then reached out and pulled her aside.
"These killers are more powerful than the ones Shi Tou dealt with. They will use their internal energy to seal the meridians you attacked, thus hiding the pain."
Hearing this, Rong Su looked at the black-clad killers who were brutal and persistent in their methods in shock.
There is actually such a martial art that can even seal one’s own meridians!
"Mmmmm..."
Hearing Lianxin's whimpering, Rong Su looked over while dodging the attack of the black-clad killer.
Shi Tou had to deal with the black-clad killers and protect Lian Xin at the same time. Those black-clad killers were ruthless and their moves were deadly. Shi Tou seemed to have suffered a lot of injuries. He couldn't go on like this!
Suddenly she felt a pain in her arm, and when she looked up, she saw that a black-clad killer's sword had cut her arm.
Just before the opponent's sword was about to pierce her throat, Rong Su's eyes turned cold, and she quickly pulled out a silver needle and stabbed it into one of the enemy's acupuncture points.
The other party obviously didn't expect that she would attack with silver needles, but by the time he reacted, he had already been stabbed. He looked at Rong Su in horror, and then fell straight to the ground, unable to move.
After Shen Peiqing dealt with a black-clad killer, he felt relieved to see that Rong Su was fine. The situation just now was so thrilling that his heart almost stopped. He wanted to rush over to save her, but an inexplicable belief told him to believe that she was not as fragile as he imagined.
Now that he saw that she had indeed dodged the killer's sword, Shen Peiqing was sincerely relieved. He glanced at the black-clad killers surrounding him. His eyes were as red as those of a bloodthirsty monster, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The killers surrounding him were so frightened that they were trembling. This man's internal strength seemed not to be very high, so why did he give people such a sense of terror!
The killers looked at each other, all panicked, and for a moment they did not dare to act rashly.
They were afraid of Shen Peiqing, and then they seemed to exchange glances, and Shen Peiqing also caught their communication.
"If you have any little thoughts, it's better to keep them to yourself. Otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death."
After hearing this, the killers were obviously enraged. They surrounded Shen Peiqing one after another, and each move was ruthless.
