Chapter 329: Weakness and Armor 2
"you……"
Before he could finish his words, Pei Yu knocked him unconscious with a knife. "Take them back and torture them severely to find out how they knew about Ah Li's existence and how they got into the mansion."
"Yes, master."
Pei Yu knew without going back that Wanyan Tuo must have sent someone to sneak into the mansion. Ali seldom went out, so how could these people know how she was dressed today? He had no other idea.
"Tianqing, you stay and arrange for someone to mine and transport the iron ore back to the city as soon as possible."
"Yes."
After Pei Yu gave instructions for the next things to do, he quickly rushed to Dingzhou City. Although he knew that Ah Li would be fine, he couldn't help but feel worried and wanted to see it with his own eyes to feel at ease.
Shen Li sat in the study waiting for Pei Yu to come back. Since these people came to the house to arrest her, they must have a trick up their sleeve. Pei Yu should be able to react, so she would wait for him here.
"Where is Ah Li?" Pei Yu stopped a guard and asked as soon as he stepped into the mansion.
"My Lord, Miss Shen is waiting for you in the study."
"Then ask Anwu to wait for me outside the study."
"Yes."
After confirming that Shen Li was fine, he wanted to get to the bottom of what happened today.
This matter cannot be delayed. He dared not imagine that if Ali was really a weak woman, who knows what would happen to her if she fell into Wanyan Tuo's hands.
"Crack~"
"Ayu, you..." are back!
Before she could finish the rest of the words, Pei Yu hugged her in his arms with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
Shen Li put her arms around his waist and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Ali, it's all my fault. I failed to protect you." Pei Yu's muffled voice came from her neck.
Shen Li shrank her neck, which was tickled by the breath from his nose when he spoke.
"Ah Yu, this is not your fault. No matter how defensive you are, you can't defend yourself against someone with ulterior motives."
"Don't you know me yet? They are just here to deliver food."
Pei Yu let go and pulled her to sit on a chair. "The man who sent the Tatar assassin is called Wanyan Tuo. He is a Tatar general. I don't know how he infiltrated the palace."
"Today I took people to the mountain to check the iron mine. He brought a woman with a figure similar to yours wearing a veil to threaten me, wanting me to hand over the iron mine and withdraw my troops from Dingzhou City."
That's it!
"I don't know who was so smart that he didn't catch me, but was afraid that it would be difficult to report to Wanyan Tuo, so he came up with such a dirty trick. It's really a way of sacrificing oneself to benefit others."
Pei Yu looked at her with a gentle and affectionate face, "Yes, Wanyan Tuo thought he had found my weakness, but in the end he got nothing. But he didn't know that A Li is not my weakness, but my armor."
Shen Li felt extremely comfortable after hearing his last words. There are always people who like to treat women as accessories, or the weak points of others. Why can't they be armor to protect people as A Yu said?
Of course, Shen Li can also be used as a weapon to hurt people.
"Well, A Yu is right. I am not your weakness, but your armor. He is too narrow-minded. He deserves this fate."
Pei Yu solemnly assured Shen Li, "Ali, I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today."
"it is good."
The two of them stayed in the study for a long time before Pei Yu loudly called An Wu outside to come in.
"Your Majesty, what happened today was my fault."
As soon as An Wu came in, he knelt on the ground and apologized. The safety of the mansion now depends on him. He still feels cold in his heart when he thinks about it. If anything happens to Miss Shen today, his life will be in danger.
Also, if these assassins were targeting the prince, then he would be blameless.
"Have you found out?"
Pei Yu did not ask him to stand up. He was a secret guard and he would not dare to complain even if he died after making such a fatal mistake.
"Master, we have found out that a gardener in the mansion garden was bribed and sold out Miss Shen's information, which led to what happened today."
"And the gardener?"
An Wu was still kneeling on the ground with his head bowed. "My Lord, I have locked him up in the dungeon and tortured him. He is still hanging on."
"Well, continue to check. Check everyone in this mansion and deal with all those who have problems."
"Yes."
After everyone left, Shen Li held Pei Yu's hand and said, "Okay, Yu, don't let these things affect your mood."
"Ali, I'll go and arrange things later. I'll have some fun with you these few days."
"Well, it's freezing cold, so why not go out and do something?"
Although it is late March, the weather has not shown any signs of recovery and it is still cold outside.
Pei Yu thought for a while before saying, "I know there is a hot spring outside the city. Later, the owner got into trouble and the manor fell into my hands. Can I take you there to have some fun?"
Shen Li looked at him and said, "Although your injury has healed, it is not suitable for you to take a hot spring bath."
Pei Yu nodded, "I know, so let's take Mo Qing with us, have him take two medicinal baths, and then we can go and soak."
Shen Li: "..."
"Are you sure he won't get angry if you do this?"
"I think there's a good chance it will."
"Would he agree?"
Pei Yu smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, he will agree. He has been coveting my hot spring villa for a long time. He will not waste the opportunity that comes to his door."
"He's been here for so long, and you won't let him go?"
"Not really. Wasn't I busy before? I didn't have time to talk to him. He didn't know that the farm was mine, so he kept dragging it out."
"Okay, when shall we go?"
"Tomorrow, we can go hunting in the back hills of the manor."
He made up his mind and would send someone to inform Mo Qing later to ask him to prepare things.
"Sure, I haven't hunted in a long time."
Looking at her excited expression, Pei Yu knew that this decision was right. During the time he came to Dingzhou, he really didn't spare much time to accompany her.
Counting the days, Ali will be leaving for the south soon, so I can use these few days to accompany her to travel around.
Shen Li was not there when Mo Qing came. He slammed the table angrily.
"Pei Zian, who do you think I am? You can order me around whenever you want. Are you addicted to it?"
Pei Yu took a sip of tea from the cup slowly, then spoke: "Well, since you don't want to do it, forget it. I was planning to have you go to my pharmacy to get the medicine, but now it seems that I'd better forget it."
Mo Qing's eyes lit up. He had wanted to go into Pei Yu's medicine storehouse for a long time, but unfortunately this guy was too stingy and refused to let him in.
Now that I have finally had the chance to be generous, I cannot miss this opportunity.
"Oh, don't worry, I was just joking with you. Go, we are brothers. I am Mo Qing, a man who would go through fire and water for my brothers. Leave the hot spring bath to me, don't worry."
Pei Yu looked at him and asked, "Is this too much for you?"
Mo Qing shook his head like a rattle, "It's not forced, how could it be forced? Zi'an, you are just too polite."
