Chapter Fifteen: Rescue Mother
Yi Xiaorou frowned and saw that Shen Tianyun was about to go into a daze. She placed a few copper plates on the table and jumped down from the window after mentioning Shen Tianyun.
It attracted everyone's attention and discussion in the inn.
On West Street in Yong'an, there stands a mansion. In front of the door are two majestic lions. The stone pillars on both sides of the door are made of marble, and there are two guards standing on each side.
Except for the bright red body of a woman hanging in front of the door that turned pale at the sight, the entire mansion looked truly magnificent.
Behind the stone pillar not far away, two figures were hiding behind them. A pair of watery eyes stared closely at the woman who was tied up in the air and could not tell whether she was dead or alive. The woman's watery eyes were filled with mist.
Shen Tianyun bit her lip and was about to rush forward, but Yi Xiaorou stopped her with quick eyes and hands.
"What are you doing?" Shen Tianyun asked with displeasure in her eyes. She just wanted to rescue the woman who had taken care of her for many years. She was afraid of losing her.
"This is a trap." Yi Xiaorou briefly elaborated on this fact.
This was a clumsy trap, and its deep meaning was exposed in front of their eyes without concealment.
No matter in which world, the higher the status of a person, the more he cherishes his life. How could a high-ranking Prime Minister travel alone without an escort, entrust Jianghu to act recklessly, and let others publicize it and ignore it?
Moreover, it should be a shame to the prime minister's government that the legitimate daughter had an affair with someone before she was married, but when the matter was over, it was still allowed to be publicized.
The Prime Minister's Office is so powerful that it is impossible for someone to spread the word without taking any action.
If this wasn't a trap, then she didn't even know what a trap was.
Shen Tianyun frowned slightly and clenched his fists, "Even if it is, as long as I can save grandma, I don't care, it's just my life."
"It's not one life, it's two lives." Yi Xiaorou said lightly the fact that it was very hurtful, but had already been separated. "If we go, we will die together."
Shen Tianyun frowned again and again, but when he saw the woman who seemed to be dying in the air, he reached out and pushed Yi Xiaorou away, "How can you know if you don't try? In short, my matter has nothing to do with Miss Yi. Miss Yi Please leave as soon as possible, you don’t have to worry that I will cause trouble to you!”
After saying that, he quickly ran towards where grandma was.
Shen Tianyun raised his eyes and saw that his usually muddy eyes, which were full of love for him, were tightly closed, "Mommy..."
She shouted tentatively, but received no response. The fear in her heart gradually increased, "Mommy, Mommy..." Tears filled her eyes.
Shen Tianyun looked coldly at the guard guarding the door, and then turned his attention to grandma again.
When the guards saw someone coming forward, they both looked at each other and nodded to each other. One of them walked towards the mansion, and the other carried a long stick and struck at Shen Tianyun.
Yi Xiaorou saw everything with her eyes, complaining in her heart that human beings are stupid. As she stepped forward, a dagger slipped from her cuff, and she held it in her backhand, shaped like an arrow.
The air is mixed with the faint and quiet fragrance of orchids, which is refreshing.
The guard who stepped into the door felt the cool breeze behind him, and the coldness penetrated his body. Then he felt a chill on his neck and lost his intuition. He didn't even know how he died.
The other person condensed all his spiritual energy into the palm of his hand, and the red spiritual energy jumped in his palm. With a "sizzle", the spiritual energy turned into a beating flame, and he slapped Shen Tianyun with his palm.
Feeling the overwhelming momentum behind him, Shen Tianyun turned around and saw strong flames coming towards him. He mobilized the water element in his body to form a protective shield. The impact of water and fire brought up the surrounding air. Something unusual happened.
Yi Xiaorou raised her hand, and the dagger in her hand gave off a frightening cold light in the sun.
She walked quickly, and all she could see was an afterimage. But in the blink of an eye, she was behind the guard, poured the power of the netherworld mobilized from her body into the knife, and moved forward fiercely, "poof" The sound of the dagger piercing the body made the man feel dizzy, so cold that he couldn't move.
"Kacha kacha," centering on the chest where the dagger was pierced, every inch turned into ice and spread all over the body.
Then, "Crack, click, click..." the scalp-numbing sound sounded again. Once again, it was centered on the chest and spread throughout the body like a spider web.
Finally, with a "Peng" sound, the whole person fell into pieces like ice cubes being smashed. Then, like water vapor, it completely disappeared into the air when it hit the ground.
Shen Tianyun stiffened when she saw this, but she also knew what was most important now. She forced herself to calm down and find the source of the rope.
Yi Xiaorou picked up the dagger from the ground, raised it, and the dagger flew in the direction of the person hanging in the air.
As soon as Shen Tianyun came to his senses, the dagger flew upwards and passed through the rope that tied the grandma's hands. When the rope encountered a sharp weapon, it broke with a "click".
Nanny's huge body fell down. Shen Tianyun flew over and placed himself under Nanny's body. The gravity from above and Nanny's huge body made Shen Tianyun feel more pressure and felt all the bones in his body. It felt like he was about to be broken into pieces. His brows were furrowed tightly, but he resisted not making a sound.
"Are you okay?" Yi Xiaorou asked.
Shen Tianyun nodded with difficulty, and she helped her mother up.
"Let's go first. Can you leave?"
"Can."
Yi Xiaorou saw that Shen Tianyun was having a hard time helping her, so she directly picked her up with one hand and put it on her back, trying her best to suppress the ghostly energy from her body, "Let's go quickly."
"Um, thank you..." Shen Tianyun muttered.
Yi Xiaorou glanced at her lightly and said, "No, it's just that I owe you."
As she said that, she jumped up, but within a few moments, all she could see was the afterimage. Shen Tianyun was stunned and followed her.
In a corner that they couldn't see, a man stared closely at the direction where Yi Xiaorou and Shen Tianyun were leaving, with an imperceptible evil look in his eyes.
He gestured behind him, "Master, what do you want?" The person behind him also made a gesture of wiping his neck while saying this.
The man nodded, "Don't keep anything. Don't keep anything related to her."
The soothing tone gave the sultry summer a bit of eerie coolness.
"Master..." The man behind him hesitated to speak.
"What's the matter?" There was a hint of impatience in his tone.
The person behind him hesitated and finally said, "Ninth Prince, you are back."
"What?" He asked in shock when he heard it, "When did it happen?"
"It's today, and the young master has offended him."
"What?!" When he heard this, his voice suddenly became louder than before, and he was filled with anger, "Damn, this scoundrel who has failed to achieve anything but is more likely to be exposed has actually caused me such a big trouble..."
"This matter will be discussed later. Let's settle Shen Tianyun's matter first."
"yes."
The dusk was dim, the setting sun was like blood, and the earth was bathed in the afterglow. The bright red sunset penetrated into Yufen Pavilion through the exquisite carved wooden windows, adding a bit of magnificent color to the whole room.
The bright red sunset shines on Grandma's pale face, adding a touch of desolation.
Shen Tianyun, dressed in white, knelt in front of the bed, holding her slender white hands tightly on her grandma's hands that were covered with calluses, whip wounds, brand marks, or knife marks. Her long eyelashes drooped, covering the dark color under her eyes.
"Ahem..." The old man on the bed coughed lightly, bringing Shen Tianyun back from his thoughts.
Her eyes were full of worry, "Mommy, what's wrong with you?" Mammy shook her head weakly, and she pointed at Yi Xiaorou standing aside, indicating that she wanted to talk to Yi Xiaorou alone.
Shen Tianyun understood, tucked her in the quilt, walked out of the room, and closed the door behind her back.
Yi Xiaorou raised her eyes and looked at her without saying a word.
"Ahem..." Grandma coughed for a while. She took a deep breath and calmed down, "I want to ask you something..."
Her voice was as light as a mosquito. If you didn't listen carefully, you probably wouldn't know she was speaking.
Yi Xiaorou slowly stepped forward and listened, but still didn't say a word.
Seeing that Yi Xiaorou did not take her words, Mammy had no choice but to continue the topic, "Since the day I saved you, I have guessed that this day will come. I know that your identity must be extraordinary, and that you can take control of it from him. I rescued you, and I also know that you have certain abilities."
She had to stop and take a deep breath every time she said a word, as if she would leave if she didn't pay attention. "I know that I don't have much time, I just hope that you can help me save the life of the young lady..."
Yi Xiaorou was as cold as ever when she spoke, "I've paid back everything I owe you. I don't owe you anything."
After hearing Yi Xiaorou's words, Grandma's already pale face became as white as a sheet of paper. She struggled to get up but in vain. In the end, her body hit the bed board hard and she made a loud "Peng" sound. big.
Even though she was in such a mess, Yi Xiaorou remained unmoved, just looking at her grandma quietly with her amber eyes without any impurities, her eyes were like looking at a stranger, extremely indifferent and indifferent. It's heart-warming, but I can't even feel the slightest disgust towards her.
Grandma gritted her teeth and gasped for air. She struggled to get up but it was still in vain. She stayed in that position and said, "In exchange, I can tell you a secret about our young lady."
Yi Xiaorou glanced at her lightly, then raised her feet and left.
What does Shen Tianyun's secret have to do with her? Does she, Yi Xiaorou, look like someone who likes to explore other people's secrets? What a joke.
Furthermore, not to mention Shen Tianyun's current situation, she knew that the more she knew, the uglier her death would be, and she had no interest in knowing other people's secrets.
Grandma saw that Yi Xiaorou was motionless and couldn't get up and down. She was almost mad to death, but she could only hold on for a breath. When Yi Xiaorou's hands just touched the door, Grandma shouted: She said, "Wait, wait..." followed by another heavy breathing.
