Chapter 118 The Cold-blooded Supervisor of the East Factory vs. the Vicious Aunt in the Deep Palace
Yingsi was so frightened that her hands began to tremble, and she finally stopped in frustration.
There was no need to look closely to see that her entire body was covered in red, and her face was even more exaggerated than those who had killed more people.
Seeing Wei Xuanzhi, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief and used the knife to support her limp body.
He casually wiped his face with his sleeve, not sure whether it was sweat or blood.
Then she looked up at him, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"You're not hurt."
Wei Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows inadvertently and looked at her with his hands behind his back.
A corner of the moonlight that was originally obscured by the black fog leaked out and hit her exceptionally charming face, making her eyes appear clear and bright.
He couldn't help but wonder: Why do people run so fast when they meet someone who just wants to rob them, but stay when they meet someone who wants to kill them?
He is kind-hearted enough to go back and drag away those guards whose lives are worthless in the eyes of the nobles, but he will not show mercy when it comes to killing people.
Everyone in the deep palace is difficult to understand, but everything about her is revealed, and it seems that one can see through her with just one glance.
After a moment's silence, he turned his eyes away and looked at the man in black who was chopped to pieces by her.
"If you want to kill someone, just stab me like you did that night, in the same spot, once, but a little deeper."
His voice was always so cold that one couldn't tell the warmth in his words, but at this moment it sounded a little more serious.
Yingsi opened her lips and wanted to say something.
However, at this moment, a man in black flew down from the opposite roof again, with the sword in his hand pointing directly at Wei Xuanzhi's back.
She didn't have time to think about whether he could dodge, so she subconsciously pushed him away, raised the knife and stabbed it into the man's chest.
Everything happened in a flash.
The man in black probably didn't expect that the woman who was exhausted and shaking like a sieve with fear could still have such strength and accuracy.
When Wei Xuanzhi was pushed away by her, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he saw her holding a knife and killing people in the way he said.
The man in black who was stabbed by her groaned and tried to get up and struggle. Wei Xuanzhi's eyes darkened, and he turned around, held her hand and pushed the knife in a little harder.
Until the man in black died completely, Wei Xuanzhi quickly let go of her hand, brushed aside his cloak and glanced at her lightly.
"The strength is not enough, you need to practice more."
Yingsi was stunned for a moment, then looked at him like a lunatic, and finally fainted from exhaustion.
He took it casually, and when he lowered his eyes, he saw her miserable appearance. He suddenly remembered the smug look on her face when she stabbed him with a knife a few days ago, and he sneered in his heart.
On the other side, the factory envoys who had already dealt with the problem also counted the number of people and came to report to him.
Seeing the two corpses at his feet and Yingsi's face covered in blood, he was surprised for a moment before speaking:
"Including these two, there are a total of one hundred and ten people."
Glancing at the unconscious person in his arms, Wei Xuanzhi said "hmm" lightly.
"Stay here tonight and continue your journey tomorrow."
The factory envoy glanced at Yingsi in surprise again and bowed.
"Yes, my lord."
The person who had left came back again, bringing with him a person covered in blood.
The shopkeeper had mixed feelings, this group of people looked like they were not easy to deal with, and it was not right to drive them away, nor was it right to keep them.
But no one needs his opinion.
After being asked to open the door, a group of people went into the room that had been opened earlier.
But there was another person in the leader's arms, and the shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "It's full."
Wei Xuanzhi's eyes turned and he looked at him with a vicious look.
Although he didn't say a word, the shopkeeper was still so frightened that he almost lost his balance. He turned his head and said quickly: "There is another room upstairs, but it costs extra..."
After he finished speaking, the factory servant behind him reluctantly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to him.
"Hurry up and make arrangements."
The shopkeeper took the silver and nodded repeatedly, then told the waiter to pack up quickly.
Just as he took half a step, Wei Xuanzhi turned back and said in a commanding tone, "Find a woman to clean up her mess."
The shopkeeper glanced at the man whose face he couldn't even see clearly, smiled awkwardly and nodded.
I don’t know how long I slept, but Yingsi was awakened by hunger.
I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the bed, and immediately looked at myself.
The clothes were changed and the blood was gone.
The first thing that came to her mind was... Where's the money? The banknotes she hid in her trouser legs...
She got up and searched the bed thoroughly but didn't see any money. She slammed the edge of the bed angrily and couldn't help thinking: Wei Xuanzhi is the governor of the East Factory, he wouldn't embezzle her money, right?
Before I could figure it out, the door was pushed open.
A beautiful woman came in. Seeing that she had woken up, she said happily, "You finally woke up. I was just planning to call a doctor for you."
Yingsi raised an eyebrow: "Who are you?"
The woman smiled and said, "My last name is Du, and I'm the proprietress of this inn. The man you were with last night asked me to clean up for you. I came to see if you still need help."
Is the person with her Wei Xuanzhi?
"Where are they?"
The woman put the clothes she fetched beside her bed.
"They are having dinner downstairs. I'm afraid they will leave soon."
After she finished speaking, the woman took out another bundle and handed it to her.
"I found this when I was changing clothes with you. How could a girl like you carry so much silver on you? Aren't you afraid of danger?"
Yingsi took the bag, took a look at it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It's still far from Chuzhou. If she loses her guards and money, she will have to beg to get there.
"Thank you."
After thanking the woman, Yingsi put on her clothes and went downstairs.
A group of people downstairs were packing their luggage and preparing to leave.
Seeing her coming down, the person next to him said something to the leader, and that person turned around.
Yingsi looked at him for a moment, then immediately ran over with her skirt lifted up and came up to him with a smile.
"Thank you for last night, sir."
Wei Xuanzhi only took a glance and then looked away.
"It's offset. No need to thank me."
I thought their relationship had already taken a step further, so Yingsi rolled his eyes and said:
"I wonder where you are going, my Lord. How about we go along the way?"
Wei Xuanzhi glanced at her sideways, and his voice was as cold as the winter wind, making people feel very indifferent.
"Not going my way."
Yingsi curled her lips, "You didn't even ask me where I was going."
He rarely said more than one sentence: "It's not convenient to go anywhere."
Yingsi rolled her eyes at him and turned to look for the proprietress: "Mrs. Du, can you help me find a carriage and hire a driver?"
Wei Xuanzhi knew very well how quickly her expression could change, but he didn't want to argue with her at the moment. He waved his hand, and a group of people mounted their horses.
Mrs. Du asked enthusiastically, "Where are you going, young lady?"
Ying thought for a moment, glanced at Wei Xuanzhi who was about to leave outside the door, and deliberately raised her voice.
"Go to Chuzhou."
The hand holding the reins outside the door paused slightly.
Madam Du thought for a moment and said worriedly, "It's a long way to Chuzhou. It's not safe for a girl like you. How about hiring some thugs?"
Yingsi nodded: "It's a bit unsafe. Madam Du, do you know where to find some powerful thugs? I want the kind that can kill robbers."
Mrs. Du hesitated: "This..."
"Girl, are you going to Chuzhou?"
Wei Xuanzhi's voice came from behind. Yingsi secretly curled her lips, and when she turned around, she asked the question knowingly.
"Why? Are you going to Chuzhou too?"
