Chapter 736: Still in Place
ble, eating the roast chicken he had brought back, and drinking small wine with Old Zong."Little Tiger is back, quickly, give your son his bowl and chopsticks. Today, father brought back lots of delic...Both of them were stunned. Zong Yu reacted faster, swiftly placing Fang Jinxiu on the carriage seat.
"Don't come out in there, I'll go have a look."
Fang Jinshi nodded, thinking to herself that she had encountered bandits before, and they had even raided their hideouts. A-Yu should be able to handle this.
When she lifted the car window curtain and looked out, her face turned ashen.
She ignored Zong Yu's admonitions and hurriedly lifted the curtain to follow him out.
Zongyu, who had already jumped out of the carriage, was frowning deeply. The people in front of him looked nothing like bandits from the mountains.
The aura they emitted was distinctly similar to that of the group of assassins who had intercepted them in the narrow alley last time.
"Jinxiu, go back!"
Zong Yu saw Fang Jinxiu run out, and shouted at her to get back in the carriage.
This time, Fang Jinshu didn't listen to her and walked over to him.
"These people are coming for me, I can't hide."
If she were only facing ordinary bandits, she wouldn't have to worry too much, but outside the carriage, there were even more masked assassins than last time.
After all, Aiyu is just one person. Even if she stayed in the carriage, she couldn't hide from it.
It's better to try communicating with these people and see if we can resolve this peacefully.
Fang Jinshu patted Zong Yu's hand, motioning for him to remain calm. She walked toward the masked group alone.
Gentlemen, there's always room for negotiation in any deal.
"I know last time you were also acting on someone's orders. My husband's fists and feet, I believe everyone has experienced them. If we truly fight, you will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties."
"Why don't we all calm down I have a win-win solution here. We'll pay double the amount your people were hired for."
"My friends, even these valiant warriors who make a living on the edge of a blade, doing so for money, if they can earn double by avoiding bloodshed, wouldn't that be delightful"
"You said so, right"
As Fang Jinshi spoke, she observed the looks in their eyes.
She thought that double the price could persuade these assassins. In a situation where she was outnumbered, she had no choice but to spend money to save her life.
To her surprise, these people remained completely unfazed. This batch of assassins was significantly more qualified than the previous one, at least psychologically speaking. It was clear that they were not ordinary killers.
This isn't a good thing for them.
The assassins stood still, their faces emotionless as they stared at them. None of them responded to Fang Jinshi's proposal.
Suddenly, a burst of raucous laughter erupted from behind these people. This time, Li Lie had learned his lesson; instead of walking up to them, he stood on a large tree some distance away.
He kept watching from a distance.
"Niang, don't waste your effort!"
"The assassins of Wuyoug Pavilion are indeed motivated by money, but you mustn't forget how you humiliated their comrades last time."
"Do you really think this is just a simple case of money for murder"
"Let me tell you, you're also on the hit list of Wuyougong, a killer organization. How could they let go of someone who once wronged them Moreover, you caused Wuyougong to lose face in the Jianghu."
"Hmph, this time, all of the most elite assassins from Wuyou Pavilion have arrived. You husband and wife will be unable to escape today. Prepare to die!"
"Get me up!"
Fang Jinxiu gritted her teeth and stared in Li Lie's direction, it was this bastard again, if she had known there would be today, she shouldn't have let him go back then!
At once, the assassins rushed toward Zong Yu and Fang Jinxiu in a swarm.
The coachman had long since been scared and hid under the carriage, Zong Yu shielded Fang Jinshu in his arms, one hand dealing with the assassins who rushed forward.
This time's assassin was indeed much stronger than last time, even Zong Yu found it more difficult to parry.
If all these people rushed him at once, he would be absolutely unable to attend to every detail.
Zongyu frowned deeply, repelling the assassins before him while frantically devising a plan.
Fang Jinxiu watched Zong Yu's retreating footsteps, gritted her teeth and quickly said.
"I can go back to my space!"
To perform such a vanishing act in front of so many people, exposing their biggest secret... for Jinxiu, this situation was truly disastrous.
But she also knew that if she stayed here any longer, both she and Zongyu would be in danger.
Zong Yu nodded, Fang Jinxiu closed her eyes, thoughts flickering.
I opened my eyes again, and I was still in the same place!uld be more confident going home. She wouldn't be looked down upon by Fang Jinshi.Old Madam Wu came to the door looking for trouble, and Zong Yulian also suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Before fl...
