Chapter 36

Compared to the assassination of the Emperor, Huangfu Jun naturally had to take a back seat.

The two strongest experts who were chasing after them immediately rushed back to the Imperial Palace. The pressure on the You Ying Squad was greatly reduced!

Only then did Sang Yuanyuan let out a sigh of relief.

Six people from the You Ying Squad no longer retreated, but charged towards the beast riders.

The rest did not look back.

Everyone knew that if the six of them went, they would definitely die.

One of them laughed and said, "The last one, remember to collect the corpse!"

The other five people replied heartily, "Yes!"

Their laughter was tragic.

This was the first time Sang Yuanyuan had the most direct experience of the word 'comrade'.

She pursed her lips and hugged You Wuming's waist, trying her best to support his body so that he could save some energy.

The pursuers were successfully blocked. The group went around a few alleys and met up with the people who were waiting for them. Soon, someone cleaned up the traces behind them. The You Ying Squad was like a fish swimming into the sea, disappearing into the crowd of Tiandu.

A total of nineteen people were sent out for this operation, and only eight returned.

Everyone returned to a secret stronghold of You Zhou in Tiandu. The environment here was ordinary, like an ordinary homestay.

You Wuming collapsed the moment he reached a safe place.

He only had time to say three words to her, "I want to …"

Sang Yuanyuan's breathing stagnated.

Last time, he promised her that he would inform her before he sealed his mind to heal his injuries.

He collapsed before he could finish his words. It was clear how badly he was injured.

At this moment, no one cared about the assassination of the Emperor or whether Huangfu Jun was dead or alive. Everyone surrounded You Wuming, blue veins bulging on their foreheads, eyes wide open, and hands supporting You Wuming.

Sang Yuanyuan was suddenly startled, "General A Gu."

"Here!" A Gu looked at her solemnly.

"I'll have to trouble you to send someone to take the risk.

Han Shier is with a member of the Underworld Clan. They should be heading to that teahouse at this moment.

If possible, capture or kill that Underworld Clan member. Don't let them use that Underworld Clan member to save Huangfu Jun.

Our men can't die in vain! "

At this moment, Sang Yuanyuan felt like a heartless machine.

How long had it been since she transmigrated? She could already give out such an order without batting an eyelid.

Everyone was shocked.

"Yes!" Ah Gu was serious. He immediately picked two of his uninjured subordinates and personally led them out.

The You Ying Guards carried You Wuming to the bed.

Sang Yuanyuan used a pair of scissors to cut open his shirt, revealing his injured chest.

A large part of his right collarbone was caved in, and two of his bones were broken. The arrow wound on his left side had ruptured and was dripping with blood.

There were several bruises on his chest. These were the internal injuries he suffered when he fought with Huangfu Jun.

Sang Yuanyuan took a few deep breaths as he watched the Nether Shadow Guards busily reconnect his broken bones and apply medicine to his wounds.

"Lord's injuries are too serious. He needs to be treated as soon as possible."

Little Five said worriedly, "I hope Brother Ah Gu can successfully bring that Underworld Clan member back. This way, Lord will …"

Sang Yuanyuan interrupted him, "He won't accept it.

Don't worry about that Underworld Clan member. Think of another way. "

Little Five looked at her in astonishment, "Why, why …"

Sang Yuanyuan pursed her lips and shook her head.

This is You Wuming's reverse scale.

He definitely won't agree to let a Underworld Clan member extend his life.

That would make him go completely crazy.

"Then I'll go and catch a few doctors." Little Five said.

Sang Yuanyuan hesitated, "The other side knows that we have injured people. They will definitely keep an eye on the pharmacy and the doctors. You must be careful. Safety first. Don't force yourself."

"Yes!"

The You Ying Guards went to deal with the aftermath. The room suddenly became quiet.

Sang Yuanyuan drove the chaotic thoughts out of her mind. She calmed her mind and planted a sunflower on You Wuming's chest.

His outline was a little blurry. Mu Lingyun was obviously escaping from his chest.

Sang Yuanyuan had an illusion that it was not only the Mu Lingyun that was escaping, but also his life force.

Her heart suddenly felt like it was being pricked by a needle.

'I can't let the Mu Lingyun escape like this again.'

She thought to herself. She manipulated the two leaves below the sunflower. She made them act like two hands, grabbing the green Mu Lingyun particles. Then, she used the tips of the leaves as thin needles to knit the captured Mu Lingyun like knitting a sweater.

She actually succeeded.

Sang Yuanyuan felt that she was simply a genius.

She quickly knitted something that looked like a scarf. It was a small green strip. She applied it to the wound like a band-aid, sealing the dissipation of the Mu Lingyun.

She continued to weave these green strips of light. One after another, the bandages wrapped around You Wuming's body, tightly sealing up all of his wounds.

The sunflower disc continued to emit a thick halo of water. It seeped through the green bandages, emitting a very nourishing green light.

She concentrated on doing all this. After an unknown period of time, she suddenly felt a chill on her back.

She could sense the Mu Lingyun behind her when she was in a meditative state.

She used her divine sense to scan behind her. She was suddenly shocked and broke out in cold sweat. She almost broke out of her meditative state.

In the green light, there was a small but clear outline. With just a glance, Sang Yuanyuan recognized it — it was the puppet man.

It was swaying and walking slowly towards her.

She was so shocked that she could not put it into words!

In the instant that she was stunned, the puppet man had already passed by the wooden table in the middle of the room.

Sang Yuanyuan sucked in a breath of cold air. He opened his eyes and suddenly turned around to look behind him.

The wooden window was shaking slightly. The room was spacious, and there was nothing strange in it.

Sang Yuanyuan felt that her cheeks were full of electricity. She could even feel her pupils rapidly contracting.

Her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

She was suddenly delighted — the previous two times when You Wuming woke up, he grabbed her without making a sound and gave her a fright.

She turned around in surprise. Halfway through her body, there was a sudden buzzing sound in her mind. The chill climbed up her wrist and froze her heart.

The hand that grabbed her wrist was too small. It was not You Wuming's big hand at all!

There was no need to say what it was.

At this moment, Sang Yuanyuan felt that her heart had stopped beating.

She was like a mummy. She continued to turn her head stiffly and saw the thing behind her.

It was lying on You Wuming's chest with its head down. The string of amber beads was strangely spread out on You Wuming's body.

It stretched out a small, cold hand and grabbed her wrist.

Weapon?

Weapon?

What kind of weapon is this?!

Sang Yuanyuan's mind was buzzing. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth like a puppet.

"He's injured. His chest can't be pressed down." Her voice was completely hoarse.

Hearing this, the puppet man slowly raised its head.

Sang Yuanyuan was dizzy. Her throat felt like it was blocked by a large lump of sawdust. She wanted to call for help, but she could only make a weak hissing sound.

Soft black hair slid down its head to the sides.

The puppet man's face slowly peeked out from the black hair.

Sang Yuanyuan felt a little numb from fear. She stared at the center of the black hair without blinking.

Suddenly, she saw an extremely aggrieved face with a small mouth.

Sang Yuanyuan: "… …"

In her memory, this doll looked beautiful and had an evil smile on its face. It looked like a typical puppet prop in a horror movie.

But at this moment, its cheeks and cheeks were puffed up. Its pair of big eyes drooped down. Although it did not cry, anyone could tell that it had a crying face.

It grabbed her wrist and clumsily flipped down from You Wuming's chest. It sat beside her and placed its two small hands flat on its knees. It looked like it was visiting a patient with her.

It was extremely obedient.

Sang Yuanyuan felt that she needed some peace and quiet.

Who could tell her what the hell was this thing?!

She quickly took a few light breaths and slowly exhaled a long breath.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw the puppet man's expression suddenly change. The two small hands on its knees suddenly clenched into fists.

Sang Yuanyuan was shocked and subconsciously used her body to block You Wuming.

Someone gently knocked on the wooden door.

"A 'gu requests an audience."

Sang Yuanyuan subconsciously looked at the puppet man beside her.

You Wuming said that this puppet man was his weapon. This was a secret that only she knew.

It lowered its eyebrows and pursed its lips. Its small hands pressed on the edge of the bed.

In the next instant, the doll flew out of the open window like a kite that was suddenly pulled away by a string in the distance.

Sang Yuanyuan calmed her breathing. "General A 'gu, please come in."

A 'gu walked into the room.

He frowned and walked to the window. "My lord can't stand the wind."

After closing the window, A 'gu walked to the side of the bed and looked at You Wuming. Then, he cupped his hands to Sang Yuanyuan and reported, "Princess Sang, this subordinate is incompetent. That Ning Hongcai of the Underworld Clan was stolen."

Sang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. She calmed down and comforted him. "It's fine. It's good that he came back safely.

General A 'gu, please sit down and tell me what happened. "

At this time, instead of getting angry and blaming him, it was better to straighten out her thoughts and see if there was any way to remedy the situation.

She temporarily put the matter of the puppet man to the back of her mind.

Hearing her say this, A 'gu was stunned. At the same time, shame and gratitude appeared in his eyes.

He didn't sit down. Instead, he continued to stand and report. "The one who stole Ning Hongcai was an extremely beautiful red-clothed woman."

He looked at Sang Yuanyuan with some hesitation and said hesitantly, "Under the heavy makeup, her appearance is somewhat similar to Princess Sang."

Sang Yuanyuan was surprised. "…" One looked like her, and the other also looked like her. Did she have a common face, or did these people all have plastic surgery based on her, the number one beauty?

A 'gu continued, "That red-clothed woman's strength was quite astonishing. Han Shier's cultivation was at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Realm, but he only lasted ten rounds against that woman before his arm was twisted and thrown to the side."

Sang Yuanyuan frowned. "Is it someone from the Imperial Palace or Huangfu Jun?"

A 'gu shook his head. "It doesn't look like it.

That woman was very straightforward, somewhat like a Jianghu hero. After she snatched Ning Hongcai, she took out a gold ingot and threw it at Han Shier. She laughed and said, 'Your master is really funny. He's very generous with other people's money!

If he's really a kind person, why didn't he directly treat Ning Hongcai's child's illness?

If he knows how to repay kindness, he'll be willing to hand over his life. If he's an ingrate, then take him away and get rid of a scourge for the world! '"

Sang Yuanyuan couldn't help but widen her eyes. "What a strange person!"

A 'gu said, "I wanted to go forward and take him away, but unexpectedly, as soon as I appeared, I was stopped by several guards whose strength was at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Realm.

If a fight broke out, I was afraid that it would alarm the Imperial Palace, so I pretended to retreat and let Little Nine, who is good at tracking, quietly follow them. After I found out where they were, I hurriedly came back to report. "

Sang Yuanyuan muttered to herself.

A powerhouse at the fifth layer of the Spiritual Realm, placed in any state, would be a general at the level of a personal guard.

This woman was accompanied by personal guards, and her strength was also not bad. She must be a princess or a sister of a state.

Thinking back and forth, she couldn't find such a person in her memory.

She was actually a strange person who hid her strength!

"Where did she go?" Sang Yuanyuan asked.

"Luan Meng Zui."

Sang Yuanyuan, "…" It didn't sound like a proper place.

She hesitated for a moment, then got up and said, "I'll have to trouble General A 'gu to look after King Youzhou. I have to go out."

You Wuming was seriously injured, and Tiandu was under martial law everywhere, searching for assassins. Hiding like this was not a long-term solution, and the situation would only get worse.

Intuition told Sang Yuanyuan that this strange woman might be able to bring about a turnaround.

She walked to the side room, redid her hair, and touched her cheeks with yellow rouge. Then, she changed her clothes and stood in front of the mirror for a moment. Her temperament suddenly changed, and she looked like a sad woman.

A 'gu was at a loss, and wanted to persuade Sang Yuanyuan not to go out and take risks.

Seeing her come out of the side room in a new dress, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. He asked with some hesitation, "You are … Princess Sang?"

Sang Yuanyuan nodded, "It seems that there is no problem.

General A 'gu, please be sure to look after King Youzhou. It's best to leave two people in the room at all times. "

After saying that, her expression became restrained, and she instantly became a resentful woman who was disappointed by her prodigal son.

A 'gu, "…" Why do I feel that my lord will be played to death by my wife in the future?

… …

Sang Yuanyuan quickly found Luan Meng Zui.

It was really eye-catching. On the railing of the second floor, there was a row of women dressed in colorful muslin, waving their long sleeves at the merchants coming and going below.

These women all had beautiful faces, and the muslin clothes on their bodies were obviously expensive.

However, they were not the girls in the building, but the waiters who welcomed the guests.

It could be imagined that this was an extremely high-class brothel.

Sang Yuanyuan arrived at the door of Luan Meng Zui, but she was stopped.

There were resentful women who came to look for their husbands every day. Such a woman would never be let in.

Sang Yuanyuan lowered her eyes, "I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm just here to give my husband gold and silver.

He went out in a hurry yesterday and left his money bag at home. "

She opened the small bag in her hand, revealing a piece of gold.

Seeing the money, an elderly woman immediately came out to greet her. She intimately took Sang Yuanyuan's arm and led her inside.

The woman's face was clearly covered with a thick layer of makeup, but the makeup was extremely smooth. At a glance, one could tell that the makeup used was of the highest quality.

Her breath was also very fresh.

She smiled, "Young lady, you really can't find a wife like this even if you carry a lantern!

May I know who your husband is … "

Sang Yuanyuan pursed her lips, "He's a scholar. When he came here, he should have used an alias.

After my parents passed away, my husband was in charge of the family business. I'm just a weak woman, so I can only rely on him to survive. How would I dare to ask? "

Her sorrowful and forbearing appearance was vividly portrayed as a pitiful woman who had been wrongly married to a bad man, who had been robbed of her family's property and still had to rely on others.

The middle-aged prostitute immediately showed sympathy.

Although she had fallen into prostitution, her heart was still made of flesh. Looking at Sang Yuanyuan's appearance, she felt that it was not worth it for her, and she also felt sad for her.

What made her feel even more surprised was that even though she had fallen into prostitution, the other party did not show the slightest bit of disdain. She did not have any grudge against her touch, nor did she find it 'dirty'.

Thus, the middle-aged woman's expression became more sincere, "Younger sister, don't be too sad. In the future, I'll keep an eye on him for you. I'll instruct the girls below to quietly persuade him to go home and live a good life. Ah!

If you don't mind, you can call me Feng Niang. "

Sang Yuanyuan readily accepted her advice, and her tears fell as she said, "Thank you very much, Feng Niang!"

Feng Niang's heart softened. She sighed and led her into the building.

After taking two steps, she could not help but persuade her, "Actually, we women don't have to rely on men to survive. If we are ruthless to ourselves, we can always find a way out.

Some men can't be relied on! "

Sang Yuanyuan 'stubbornly persisted in going about things the wrong way' and shook her head sadly.

Feng Niang could not persuade her anymore, so she could only sigh quietly.

The two of them entered the building.

This brothel of gold in the imperial capital was indeed extraordinary. The golden pillars and jade railings were all decorated with fine cloud silk gauze. The bonsai was made with jade glaze, and the fresh flowers were tender and beautiful. There was not a single place that was not exquisite.

There was a beautiful woman playing the zither on the glowing jade platform. She was as beautiful as an iceberg, making people think that they had mistakenly entered an elegant palace.

Feng Niang led Sang Yuanyuan around the building, but she did not find the person she was looking for.

"I'm afraid she is in a private room. This is a little troublesome." Feng Niang pondered for a moment, "Little sister, would you like to change your clothes and go in to serve tea?"

Sang Yuanyuan naturally could not ask for anything more.

Feng Niang found a white gauze dress that only revealed a little bit of her jade shoulders and had her change into it. Then, she carried a slender porcelain pot on a jade plate and sent it to each private room.

"There is a good program downstairs at seven o 'clock. At this time, the guests should only let the girls accompany them to drink some wine.

Little sister, don't worry and go in. Just take a look and then come out. It will be fine. "Feng Niang vaguely comforted her.

Sang Yuanyuan nodded and pretended to muster up her courage. She knocked on the door and entered the first private room.

The scene inside was not unfamiliar to her.

Wine, meat, men, and women had long been accustomed to it.

She restrained her breath and changed the old teapot on the table without attracting any attention.

When she arrived at the fifth private room, Sang Yuanyuan saw the woman in red she was looking for at a glance.

The woman had red eyebrows that reached her temples, and there was a vermilion rose petal between her eyebrows. The corners of her lips were drawn in an exaggerated upward curve, which was gorgeous. Her red dress was embroidered with golden birds with dark lines, which was low-key and luxurious.

She did not have the slightest charm. Her appearance and behavior were heroic and vigorous, which was quite a neutral beauty.

She was like a fiery red sun, dazzling and charming.

Sang Yuanyuan was stunned. Ah Gu's statement was too conservative. This woman in red was more than thirty percent similar to her!

At least fifty percent similar to her.

After removing the makeup, they were seventy to eighty percent alike!

What was more strange was that at the first sight of her, Sang Yuanyuan had a strange feeling of deja vu in her heart.

She looked around the room calmly, but did not see Ning Hongcai and the guards.

She saw a woman in a pink veil smiling sweetly and pouring wine into the woman in red's cup. She said angrily, "Young Master, why are you so concerned about Xiao Yu Shu? Is there anything wrong with this slave?

It's so unlucky to keep talking about a dead person! "

Sang Yuanyuan paused slightly.

She had heard the name Xiao Yu Shu before.

That day when Jiang Jinpeng sneaked into the Imperial Palace and wanted to kill her and frame Jiang Jinzhen, he mentioned that he wanted to avenge Xiao Yu Shu.

So this woman in red was concerned about Xiao Yu Shu?

The woman in red smiled. Her voice was as clear as flowing water, and it was hard to distinguish her gender. She asked, "Does Xiao Yu Shu really have a close relationship with the second son of Jiang Province's King?"

The courtesan pursed her red lips and replied, "How could that be? I won't hide it from Young Master. The two brothers of the Jiang Family are full of evil tricks. They don't treat us sisters as human beings. If it weren't for the urgent need for money, anyone would find an excuse to refuse to serve them. How could there be a friendship?"

Sang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the woman in red without batting an eyelid. Her eyes were full of hesitation.

"As expected," the woman in red stretched out a finger and knocked on the table. She looked as if she had expected this. She muttered to herself, "I knew it. There's something else behind this matter.

Humph, if I find out, they can just wait for death! "

Her hands were very large, and her fingers were extremely long.

Sang Yuanyuan opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at 'her'.

She was all too familiar with this tone.

No, it should be 'him'.

This' woman 'was her cheap brother, Sang Province's Crown Prince, Sang Bujin!

Sang Yuanyuan looked at his throat. She saw an exquisite piece of red gauze with colorful stones hanging from it, completely covering his Adam's apple.

For a moment, Sang Yuanyuan didn't know how to express her feelings at this moment.

She took a few deep breaths to ease the shock in her heart.

The courtesan in red gauze saw that Sang Yuanyuan didn't leave. She frowned in confusion, "Are you new?

What are you doing here? "

Hearing this, the red-clothed Sang Bujin raised his head. His eyes, which were tattooed with colorful phoenix tails, looked at Sang Yuanyuan. He saw that she was staring at him in a daze. She looked as if she had seen an acquaintance, but also as if she had seen a ghost.

He frowned and looked up and down. The corner of his mouth suddenly twitched.

This figure … was too familiar!

"You," he patted the girl in red gauze's arm, "leave first."

His voice was stiff.

The girl in red glared at Sang Yuanyuan angrily, then walked out with her hips twisted.

These girls actually liked to receive rich female guests because they were easy to serve and knew how to dote on them. Moreover, women understood the needs of other women the best. It was very easy for them to earn a lot of money.

Being intercepted at this moment, no one would be happy.

As soon as the girl in red gauze left, Sang Bujin immediately covered his face with his hands. His voice seemed to seep out from between his fingers, "… Little sister."

Sang Yuanyuan sat down heavily beside him and sighed, "… Big brother!"

She felt that this cheap brother of hers seemed to want to die on the spot.

After a long while, he moved his face away from his palms and said with difficulty, "Big brother dressed like this just to find out about Xiao Yu Shu."

Sang Yuanyuan believed him.

Was it inconvenient to dress as a man and visit a brothel?

He was a crossdresser!

She nodded considerately and said, "I understand, big brother. You see, I also came in disguise. I even changed my appearance."

Sang Bujin sniffed gratefully and asked, "Little sister, why are you here?

Weren't you with You Wuming?

When did you come to Tiandu?!

There were assassins on the streets today. How could You Wuming let you run around alone outside?!

Wasn't he worried that you would encounter danger?! "

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. His beautiful eyes were raised high in the air.

It seemed that Sang Bujin still didn't know that the so-called assassins were the You People.

Kang Yanji had always kept the grudges between Youzhou and the imperial capital a secret.

Sang Yuanyuan looked at him pitifully and said, "Big brother, the assassin they were chasing was me."

Sang Bujin was speechless.

He stared at her for a while and said, "Little sister, you've grown up."

Sang Yuanyuan sighed and said, "Right now, the entire city is searching for us. You Wuming is injured and can't move freely. Big brother, do you have a way to take us out of the city?"

The Sang father and son had caused a ruckus during the seclusion ceremony. Sang and You were already tied together.

"It's a small matter." Sang Bujin agreed without even blinking.

He threw down a few gold ingots and walked out with his arm around Sang Yuanyuan's shoulder.

When they reached the door, Mother Feng's eyes widened. "Little sister, you, you're not looking for your husband?"

Sang Yuanyuan whispered, "Mother Feng, I've thought it through. You're right. What's so good about a man? I don't want him!"

After saying that, she grabbed Sang Bujin's arm.

Mother Feng was speechless. No, no, she was just advising this little girl that men were unreliable, but she didn't say that she wanted to change to a woman!

Soon, this strange incident spread throughout the entire Luan Meng Zui. A woman came to deliver money to her scholarly husband, but left with a rich man instead of a pipa.

In less than half an hour, several disheveled scholars hurriedly ran out of the door to look for their wives.

…

The siblings turned into a dark alley.

"Big brother, did you take Ning Hongcai away?" Sang Yuanyuan asked.

Sang Bujin nodded. "It was a coincidence. I ran into Han Shier on the way here. I was a bit suspicious, so I followed them and happened to hear Ning Hongcai saying goodbye to his wife and son.

When I heard that, I felt that Meng Wuyou's hypocritical behavior was really disgusting. So, I took the family of three and planned to bring them back to Sang Province. "

Sang Yuanyuan heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great. I was afraid that he would fall into the hands of the Imperial Palace or Huangfu Jun!

But big brother, do you have the confidence to send them out of Tiandu? "

"Don't worry!"

Sang Bujin was very proud. "My men are everywhere in Tiandu. I, your big brother, can come and go as I please!"

Sang Yuanyuan was speechless. No, wait, last time when I came with Sang Province's King, Sang Bujin didn't look like a fish in water.

She looked at her brother's beautiful face with heavy makeup, and suddenly had a bold idea in her heart — — when he established his connections in Tiandu, he did not use the identity of Sang Shizi, but this beautiful young lady … — —

Indeed, he was an extraordinary person who hid his strength well!
