This sentence "It becomes astringent when it's cold" is clearly what Shen Di said not long ago. This shows that the other party has been hiding in the dark for a long time, but she has not noticed it for a long time. Thinking of this, the woman in red gritted her silver teeth and picked it up. He picked up the long knife of the Shen family guard and pointed it at the somewhat slovenly-looking middle-aged man in front of him: "I have no enmity with you. I hope you won't mind your own business and leave quickly."
Xiao Yong smiled indifferently, put down the teacup, picked up the cakes on the table, took a small bite, and looked up at her: "What if I say no?"
The woman in red narrowed her eyes slightly, grasped the long knife tightly, and rushed towards Xiao Yong: "Then go to hell!"
She swung the knife very fast, and the cold light struck Xiao Yong's head, but in the end the latter dodged it and directly split the low table into two pieces.
Xiao Yong leaned against the wall pillar easily, smiled and hooked his hand at her.
The woman in red looked down at the mess on the ground. There had been a commotion now, and the Shen family's guards would arrive in the blink of an eye. Her plan had failed. She looked at the man in front of her angrily: "You dare to harm my aunt. Good thing, I will kill you today!"
After saying that, she screamed and rushed forward.
In this way, the woman in red and Xiao Yong attacked and defended, but after more than a dozen moves, the woman in red failed to touch Xiao Yong, and her breathing became rapid.
At this time, many Shen family guards also rushed over. The leader stood outside the door and looked at Shen Di and Tang Ji whose five corpses had fallen on the table. He said sternly: "How can we tolerate this in the Prime Minister's Mansion? You are so presumptuous, why don’t you quickly put down your weapons!”
Xiao Yong acted as if he hadn't heard and continued to provoke the woman in red.
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, and that the man in front of her could dodge her attack, which showed that her strength was not weaker than hers, the latter had no choice but to think long term. Without any further thought, she turned around and planned to escape through the window.
But how could Xiao Yong give her a chance? He smiled and said, "I haven't had enough fun yet!"
In an instant, he turned into a black shadow and blocked the window again, and struck the woman in red with a palm towards her chest.
The woman in red flew directly backwards, knocking out a "human"-shaped hole in an exquisite screen in the house. She didn't stop until she reached the corner, and fell to the ground spitting out blood.
Xiao Yong let go and murmured: "It's quite soft."
"How dare you dare to take action..." The Shen family's guard leader raised his long sword and was about to say harsh words, but when he met Xiao Yong's deep and dull eyes, he shuddered for an instant and silently closed his mouth. But he also winked at the guard beside him, signaling him to go to the government for help.
The woman in red endured the huge pain and tried to get up, but her body couldn't use up any strength. She couldn't help but feel fear and stared straight at the middle-aged man who was walking toward her step by step.
Master realm!
She herself is a first-class person. Only master-level masters can seriously injure herself with one palm, not even a first-class master!
The gap between the first-class and the master level is a chasm. Even ten top-level people can't compete with the masters at the master level. I didn't expect to be bumped into by her. Although I was unwilling to do so, I still didn't forget the relationship with my employer. After making up their minds, they were about to commit suicide, but were knocked unconscious by Xiao Yong's palm first.
"Still want to commit suicide?" Xiao Yong smiled disdainfully, then tore off the human skin mask on her face, revealing a shiny cheek. He looked down at the middle-aged woman in front of him and sighed: " She has a pretty good figure and almost made me look wrong."
Immediately, he took out the poison hidden in the other party's mouth, stood up and glanced outside the room, walked straight to the main seat, poured a cup of tea and poured it on Tang Ji's face.
A few breaths passed, and when Tang Ji still didn't move, he stroked his forehead with a headache: "How many drugs did you take?"
Logically speaking, since the woman wanted to frame him, she couldn't give him too strong a drug.
While thinking, he poured another glass of water and poured it on. Seeing that it still had no effect, he completely lost his patience, opened the lid of the teapot, and poured all the tea inside into Tang Ji's face.
"Ahem~"
Tang Ji coughed twice and slowly regained consciousness. Regardless of his physical weakness, he suddenly raised his head: "Help!"
Realizing that he was still in Shen's house, he rubbed his hazy eyes and found several corpses lying on the ground. He turned around and saw Shen Di lying next to him, and finally noticed Xiao Tian sitting on the low table beside him. He was stunned for a moment and asked: "Senior Xiao, what is going on?"
Xiao Yong twisted his neck and raised his eyes to look at the woman in red: "She wanted to kill Shen Di and frame it for you..."
Immediately, he recounted what had just happened.
After hearing this, Tang Ji's eyes widened immediately. He originally thought that Shen Di had drugged him and planned to beat him up to avenge Shen Yunchu. Unexpectedly, someone else wanted to plot against him, and even killed Shen Di. He sighed, raised his hands and bowed: "Thank you, Senior Xiao, for saving me."
This is the second time Xiao Tian has saved him!
Seeing Xiao Yong didn't answer, Tang Ji continued to ask: "Senior Xiao, who asked you to protect me in secret? Also, are you following me inseparably?"
Xiao Yong stood up and touched the stubble on his face: "I have no comment on the first question. You will know when the time comes. As for the second question, except when you are in the palace, I have indeed been following you all the time. By your side."
Hearing this, Tang Ji was immediately elated. Perhaps this was the sense of security that a master at the master level brought him, but what the other person said next made him feel lost again.
"However, I can't protect you anymore. I have something important to do. You have grown up a lot now. There are many people in Kyoto who hate you, but there shouldn't be many who dare to take action against you." He said expressionlessly. After saying that, he turned to look at the woman in red in the distance: "She is seriously injured and will not wake up for a while. If you hand her over to the Xingchen Division, we should be able to find out who is behind the scenes."
Tang Ji nodded slightly and bowed again: "This junior understands."
Xiao Yong's ears twitched slightly, and when he heard the sound coming from far away, he said calmly: "Tang Ji, I would like to advise you, no matter if you have the chance or not, don't come to the northwest!"
After saying that, he turned into a black shadow again and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Shen family guards standing outside the gate were stunned for a few breaths. The leader came to his senses first and shouted loudly: "Chase me!"
Tang Ji knew Xiao Tian's strength, so he was not worried that he would be caught, but he was puzzled by the words he just left. Why did he go to the northwest for no reason? Why couldn't he go?
In a short time, the Taiping County government officials and the city's imperial guards surrounded the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Cheng Tie rushed in, looked at the body lying on the ground, was shocked, and shouted loudly: "Brother Tang, are you okay! "
Tang Ji waved his hand: "It's okay!"
Even so, he felt a little helpless in his heart.
If Xiao Tian hadn't appeared in time, he might have been in the prison now. He glanced at Cheng Tie again and heard that the red-clothed assassin's strength was top-notch. His presence or absence would not change anything. The only master he had was
Sun Yufu, but that damn old man will eat and wait to die. It is impossible for him to protect him secretly.
It seems that his protective power needs to be strengthened!
