Chapter 21 The Assassination of Yun Wanning
Yun Wanning took Ruyan and Ruyu and quickly headed towards the ruined temple in the east of the city.
It's not yet noon.
She planned to interrogate Yu Er first, and then go back to cook for Yuan Bao and her grandfather. So time was a little tight, and she had to make a quick decision.
The capital city is divided according to directions, with the east part of the city being the most remote and sparsely populated.
Near the edge of the city, there are overgrown grasses and many abandoned houses.
This place does not look like a bustling capital city, but rather like a deserted place.
Ruyan explained in a low voice, "Princess, the east side of the city used to be lively. Then for some reason, a plague broke out and the place became a ruin."
The people in the east of the city have all moved away.
Those who did not leave were all turned into corpses.
Because it was a plague, it was difficult for the court to dispose of these corpses, and they couldn't burn them all.
Therefore, this area can only be sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or exit.
"It's only in recent years that people have rebuilt houses in this area."
However, it is still depressed.
From time to time, you can step on a human bone in the grass. Autumn has not yet officially entered, but from the dense forest not far away, the rough and hoarse cries of old crows can be heard, which makes people's hair stand on end and makes their backs feel cold.
The atmosphere here is really scary.
"Then You Er is quite brave, he actually dares to hide here."
Yun Wanning looked at a ruined temple not far away, "That's where it is, right?"
Ruyu nodded, "Princess, then You Erben is a desperado! How can such a person be afraid of these things?"
"I don't believe it. He's not afraid of death! If he's not afraid of death, why are he hiding here?"
Yun Wanning sneered.
If a person is not afraid of death, nothing can threaten him.
But You Er has been hiding in a desolate place like the east of the city for these years just to avoid pursuit. In this way, he is a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I am not afraid that he will not cooperate obediently and explain what happened back then!
While talking, several people had already approached.
According to Ruyu's investigation, this You Er only goes out for activities every night.
The ones I usually go to are those brothels and teahouses.
During the day, he hid in the ruined temple and slept, not daring to show his face.
Yun Wanning and the other three were about to enter the ruined temple, but Ruyu suddenly lowered her voice and warned, "Be careful, Princess, there is danger!"
Danger?
At the same time, the jade bracelet on his wrist also began to heat up.
Yun Wanning's hand folded in her sleeve quietly tightened the dagger in her sleeve, and she looked around cautiously. She was back to back with Ruyan and Ruyu.
Suddenly, dozens of men in black rushed out from behind the ruined temple.
The leader of the man in black stabbed Yun Wanning sharply in the heart with the long sword in his hand!
Just as she was about to take out the dagger to resist, Ruyu quickly took action, and her deep internal force shook away the long sword that was so close at hand!
He unsheathed his sword and soon fought with the man in black.
Ruyan is also good at kung fu.
She protected Yun Wanning with a calm expression. When she saw a man in black taking the opportunity to attack, she picked up the stick on the ground and fought off the man in black.
Although Ruyu and Ruyan were powerful, people in black kept rushing out from behind.
Look, it looks like a wheel tactic.
Knowing that they can't defeat the two of them, they have to waste their energy!
"Princess, they are so large in numbers that I'm afraid the slaves and Ruyu won't be able to resist them."
Ruyan tightly protected Yun Wanning, "Princess, please hide in the temple first!"
The men in black are blocking the way. Even if they leave now, it will be difficult for them. Now they can only fight hard!
In order not to hold them back, Yun Wanning quickly dodged into the ruined temple.
Taking this opportunity, she caught that bastard You Er and taught him a lesson... Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the ruined temple, she saw something and ran out from behind quickly.
The person who escaped was none other than You Er!
Yun Wanning quickly chased after him.
But You Er was very familiar with this terrain and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
The sound of weapons clashing outside brought Yun Wanning back to her senses.
She was afraid that if she caught up with them, she would fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain. She could not defeat these men in black who knew kung fu, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and turn back.
Where did these men in black come from?
Why do you know her movements?!
In the end, is he Qin Shixue's person, or...
Just as he was thinking about it, the ruined temple was kicked open, and a man in black rushed in with a long sword in hand.
The long sword seemed to carry the power of thunder. When it struck down, Yun Wanning dodged and the dagger in his hand quickly blocked his sword.
In the light of the stone and fire, Yun Wanning didn't hesitate at all, raised her foot and kicked the man in black hard on the thigh!
He groaned and fell to the ground.
Yun Wanning leaned over to pick up the long sword that he had dropped on the ground. For safety reasons, he stabbed the man in black to death... and then guarded nervously behind the door.
If another one dares to come in, she will chop him to death!
After a while, the sound of fighting outside gradually stopped.
Yun Wanning looked out through the broken window, only Ruyu and Ruyan were still standing.
The ground was covered with corpses.
Blood dyed the ground red.
A gust of wind blew by, and the strong smell of blood made people sick.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Yun Wanning did a rough count and found that there were at least thirty or forty people.
Who on earth could unleash such blood to deal with her?!
At this moment, a "corpse" at Ruyan's feet suddenly moved. He grabbed Ruyan's ankles, pulled Ruyan hard and fell towards the ground.
On the ground is an unsheathed sword!
Seeing that Ruyan was about to fall to the ground and have her throat sealed with a sharp sword, Ruyu grabbed her in time.
Even so, they both fell down due to inertia.
Ruyan's leg was cut with a long wound by the sharp sword!
Yun Wanning ran out quickly and saw Ruyu about to kill the man in black who was still alive. He quickly stopped him and said, "Leave him alive! I want to interrogate him!"
Ruyu was stunned for a moment.
When he was stunned, the man in black's eyes flashed, and he actually bit his tongue and committed suicide!
This time, there was no one left alive.
You Er is also missing.
Yun Wanning frowned and looked at Ruyan's bleeding leg. He hesitated and took out the medicine from the space, applied it and bandaged her.
She knew that Ruyan was sent by Mo Ye to monitor her.
However, she protected her just now...
Seeing Yun Wanning bandaging her up without saying a word, Ruyan's eyes were a little complicated.
Ruyu checked all the corpses and then approached, "Princess, who have you made enemies with?"
"These people are very good at martial arts!"
Today, if she really came to find You Er alone, she would probably end up dead in the wilderness!
Yun Wanning shivered in fear and shook her head sullenly, "I don't know either! I have never left Qing Cinema in the past four years. I don't know who sent these people."
However, she had some vague guesses in her mind.
Besides her, who else would want her life so desperately?!
Suddenly, Yun Wanning's expression changed and she told Ruyu, "Hurry up and chase You Er!"
Their purpose today is to take You Er back to the palace for interrogation.
If he escapes, it will not be easy to catch him again in the future!
Chapter completed!
