In the instant he was seized by Zhao Yun, Tian Yi's subordinate instinctively understood there was no escape. He instinctively tried to bite open the poison pouch hidden in his mouth to commit suicide, absolutely refusing to fall into the hands of others.
Otherwise, he would be tortured until he betrayed his master. Then, all of his ancestors for eight generations would be exterminated.
Zhao Yun wasn't an ordinary person. As an officer, he had seen all kinds of criminals and assassins. Someone who would commit suicide by poison the moment they were caught without even explaining themselves couldn't possibly be an average petty thief.
He is a killer!
Zhao Yun immediately struck, clamping down on his cheeks the moment he opened his mouth. With a crack, he dislocated the man's jaw, preventing him from biting into the poison sac in his mouth.
The commotion also woke up the two people sleeping in the room. Jin Yu and Qiu Ju heard someone talking outside the room, so they immediately put on their outer robes, grabbed sticks and candle stands in their hands, and tremblingly walked out.
"Who, who is outside!"
Zhao Yun heard Qiu Ju's voice and hurriedly shouted.
"Autumn Chrysanthemum, it's me, Zhao Yun."
Upon hearing this, Qiuju immediately put down the object in her hand and hurriedly dressed herself. As she opened the door and saw what was outside, her expression shifted from disbelief to terror.
"Little Zhao General, what is going on here"
When Jin Yu heard Zhao Yun had arrived, he hurriedly straightened his clothes. He wished he could go back and comb his hair, wash his face, but Qiu Ju's shouts were already coming in a hurried flurry of several calls.
"Jin Yu, Jin Yu come out quickly! Look who's come to see you."
"It's General Xiao Zhao!"
This woman, before going to sleep, still thought that General Zhao didn't care about her. Didn't he care enough for her to sneak in through the wall in the middle of the night to see her
Jin Yu didn't even bother with washing up. She tidied her clothes and walked out from the inner room. The moment she saw Zhao Yun, her eyes welled up.
He lost weight.
"Ayu."
Zhao Yun's eyes widened at the sight of the gold and jade, almost dropping his weapon in surprise.
"General Xiao Zhao, why have you captured someone again"
At Qiu Ju's question, both of them immediately came to their senses. Now was not the time for heartfelt confessions.
"Sister Qiuju, this man is a killer. He followed me all the way into Hou Mansion, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Yun was speaking when he suddenly changed expression.
"Oh no! The Lord and Lady are in danger!"
A killer with poison concealed in their mouth is not something ordinary people can afford, let alone wield. These individuals are not targeting anyone else; their aim is directed at the Lord and Lady.
He knocked the man unconscious with a single palm strike. Jin Yu immediately understood what Zhao Yun wanted to do, and she brought over some hemp rope from inside the room.
"Here, use this to tie him up for now. You go see what the Lord and Lady are doing. We'll go wake everyone else."
When Zhao Yun received the rope from Jin Yu, his expression was beyond excited. He truly had a telepathic connection with Jin Yu!
No wonder he had his eye on her as a wife.
"Okay, then, you guys also have to protect yourselves well."
"Summon all the guards from the Marquis' residence and take this man down. Keep a close eye on him; he is to be kept alive."
Jin Yu nodded hastily. At this time, Qiu Ju had already gone to call someone. There were only two of them left in the room, and one unconscious on the floor.
Zhao Yun saw the situation and immediately with a forceful hand pulled Jin Yu into his embrace, holding her tightly. After a moment, he released her.
Jin Yu's face was flushed.
"You, you... what are you doing."
She lowered her head shyly, too embarrassed to look at Zhao Yun's face.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath. “I'm sorry, A Yu, I just missed you so much. Holding you for a moment made me feel so much better, like I was reborn with renewed energy.”
"Take care of yourself, I'm going."
Jin Yu was embarrassed by his shameless words, her face flushed even redder. After Zhao Yun left, she finally smiled, and the big stone in her heart fell.
It turned out he hadn't forgotten himself, nor did he intend to leave her.
When Qiuju returned with several guards, she saw Jin Yu, that silly girl, standing there giggling and staring blankly.
"It's this man," General Xiao Zhao said, "you must watch him carefully. He's a key witness, and we absolutely can't let him die."
"Yes, Qiuju,"
Jin Yu saw Qiu Ju return and quickly gathered her composure, no longer smiling foolishly.
But Qiuju wouldn't possibly not understand her feelings for her sweetheart. After the guards dragged him away, she stepped forward and teased her with a few words.
"Was it not a good time for me to leave just now Did General Xiao Zhao say anything to you"
Jin Yu Hong blushed and shook her head. "No, I didn't say anything."
Qiu Ju scoffed, “You’re blushing just because I said something I saw you standing there smiling foolishly when I walked in, looking like a complete fool.”
"Silly girl, you're so easy to please. I'm worried you'll be taken advantage of when you marry into the Zhao family."
Jin Yu also admitted that she was easy to coax. Zhao Yun didn't say anything, just hugged her once and she couldn't utter a word of doubt.
"Oh, Sister Qiuju, please don't joke with me. Zhao Yun said that the lord and his wife are in danger. We should hurry up and call more people to catch the thieves."
Autumn Chrysanthemum nodded, "Good. Take the crossbow given by Madam, let's go catch the thief!"
"Hmm."
Since the last time they were ambushed by assassins at Hou Mansion, Fang Jinshu had made a series of preparations. She felt Yuan Buyu would certainly not give up on killing them easily. As long as there was an opportunity, he would definitely send assassins back to attack again.
Therefore, after moving into the Marquis' Mansion, she had Chang He find artisans to craft many small crossbows and had all the servants in the mansion learn how to use them.
Their servants from the Hou residence would take turns practicing archery on the training ground in the back garden every other day.
Shooting this thing doesn't require much martial skill, and Fang Jinshu specially instructed to reduce the weight of the crossbow itself so that even maids with less strength could lift it.
This was initially intended as a measure to improve the Hou Mansion's security, but surprisingly, the shooting class proved popular with everyone.
The servants at the Marquis's mansion all loved archery class very much, and their archery skills improved rapidly.
Though not everyone in the mansion was a sharpshooter, within a range of 500 to 200 meters, hitting a person when clearly visible wasn't much of an issue.
Fang Jinshu never expected that the purpose of her making all the servants in Hou Mansion learn archery would be realized so quickly. She and Zongyu were both drugged, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
At the crucial moment, Fang Jinshu's extraordinary willpower came into play. With a thought, she grasped Zong Yu's hand and stepped into the space, thus saving two lives.
Those assassins watched in stunned silence as the two living people vanished from the bed in a flash. They almost dropped their weapons in shock.
Where is everyone Where is everyone!
"Where is this person This is weird."
"Go find it!"
They're definitely not far, drugged as they are. Even if they were demons or monsters today, we must bring their heads back to the leader. Otherwise, our heads will be the ones on the chopping block.
