On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty
Chapter 23 Night Attack
Shen Yanqing smiled when he heard the words, he couldn't see any fluctuations in his light-colored eyes, he lifted his feet and boarded the carriage, and then said softly, "It's getting late, pay attention to safety when driving."
Shen Lingyuan didn't answer, he stepped on the pedal, got on the horse, and drove away with a whip.
So far, he felt that he had finally found the correct way to get along with Shen Yanqing.
It's just a relationship of mutual use.
Muchun Pavilion is near Nanzhimen, and the fastest way to go back to the Hou's Mansion is through a few secluded alleys behind Yanque Tower to the official road of Xizhimen.
There was nothing wrong when he first entered the alley, but the deeper Shen Lingyuan went, the more he felt something was wrong.
Soon this premonition came true. The horse is worthy of being a horse with human nature. It raised its hooves in time before the traps. After neighing for a while, the iron palm stepped out a melody on the ground, nailed the horse, and stopped. car.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Shen Lingyuan took advantage of the kicking of the horse and rushed into the carriage. Without waiting for anyone to react, he wrapped one hand around Shen Yanqing's waist, stepped lightly on the wooden board with his foot to borrow strength, stepped across the roof of the carriage, and landed safely behind the carriage.
A familiar aroma of herbs came to the nostrils, and the delicate touch in his hand made Shen Lingyuan feel uncomfortable.
Why is he so thin.
"Ah. I forgot about them."
Shen Yanqing's voice rang like a life-saving bell, bringing back the distracted Shen Lingyuan.
Shen Lingyuan let go of his hand like an electric shock, frowned and asked, "Who are they?"
"Like you, someone who wants to take my life."
Shen Yanqing didn't realize that he was being hunted down at all, so he calmly asked Shen Lingyuan: "You should be able to handle it."
At times like this, I can still laugh.
Facing Shen Yanqing's indifferent smiling face, Shen Lingyuan felt a tightness in his chest and rushed out with a lunge without answering.
"You should pray that I don't come with them to kill you."
"Then I'll just pray."
Although Shen Yanqing's voice was very soft, Shen Lingyuan's ears were good, so he heard it, his feet shuddered, and he almost fell into the air.
Now it is reckoned that the only way to relieve Shen Lingyuan's ailment is that his heart is not going well because of his poor verbal skills.
Shen Lingyuan raised his arms to protect a person and a car behind him, and glanced across, there were about a dozen black-clothed killers, all holding scimitar weapons, each with fierce eyes, which should have been stained with a lot of blood.
Fortunately, the alley was narrow, so it wasn't too difficult for him to deal with three at most.
Shen Lingyuan was wearing a mask and in the dark night. The man in black didn't know his age, but felt that this man was very thin, his arms and legs were not big enough for them.
"The mantis arm is a car, and it is beyond its own power."
The few standing in front looked at each other, and I don't know who choked, and the three of them rushed forward with their knives in hand.
Shen Lingyuan didn't panic at all, he moved his feet and dodged the three sword blades, his face remained unchanged, but he said in his heart: These people are nothing more than that.
It's not that Shen Lingyuan is arrogant, but that the moves of these desperadoes seem to be fierce, but in fact they have no rules at all. It seems that they used to rely on their aura to overwhelm their opponents.
But Shen Lingyuan is someone who can struggle to survive under the shadows, relying on strength, not arrogance. In his eyes, the attacks of these people can be said to be full of loopholes.
After finding out the details of these people with a few tricks, Shen Lingyuan stopped dodging, and grabbed the wrist of a man in black with one hand, and with a strong force, there was a bang, and the muscles and bones broke.
But after a while, the three who charged had already laid down on the ground. Shen Lingyuan swung the knife he had snatched and pointed at the man in black standing on the highest step.
That man was obviously the leader of these killers, he was staring at Shen Lingyuan firmly at this moment, and then waved his hand.
Another three cannon fodders were judged by fate.
The three of them knew that it was hopeless to retreat, so they could only growl boldly, and raised their sabers to charge forward.
Shen Lingyuan also knew that if he didn't get rid of these minions, that person might not fight.
Shen Lingyuan is not a mother-in-law, he made up his mind, walked like flying, his movements are not muddled, like a fish swimming in the dark night.
After a stick of incense, the whole dark alley was filled with a smell of blood.
Shen Lingyuan stood among a pile of corpses, looking coldly at the person on the slope.
Although he couldn't see his expression clearly with the moonlight on his back, he could probably guess that the man must be very angry.
After all, killers are not so easy to train.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, but the person on the slope finally couldn't bear it and moved. He drew the saber with his left hand, gathered strength with his right leg, stepped on the wall to make a turn while rushing, and the blade Pointing at Shen Yanqing behind him.
The killer laughed ferociously, no matter how powerful the black-clothed guard was, as long as he killed the Hou Ye, he would be worth ten thousand taels of gold.
The leader of the killer was about to succeed, he charged up and swung his knife to kill him, but when he was about to succeed, he saw a provocative smile from Shen Yanqing.
Then, there was the blood-stained blade in Shen Lingyuan's hand.
"Compared to the shadow, you are too slow."
These were the last words he heard before he died.
Sealing his throat with a sword, the killer knelt on the ground, his eyes widened, and finally fell flat on the ground with a plop.
Shen Yanqing stared at the young man holding the knife in front of him, and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this was the first time you killed someone."
"It's not the first time." Shen Lingyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Yanqing.
The person he assassinated first was standing here watching the excitement.
Shen Yanqing smiled slightly when he heard the words, but remained silent.
Shen Lingyuan wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, restrained for a long time, and then suppressed the churning in his stomach, then he threw the knife to the ground, turned around, and glanced at the carriage.
He walked quickly around the carriage again.
The ink eyebrows under Shen Lingyuan's mask instantly twitched. He raised his head suddenly and called out, "Where's the horse?!"
Against the backdrop of black and red, Shen Yanqing looked like a painting. His white clothes were not stained with blood, but it was just marks from two extra ropes on his hands. He met Shen Lingyuan's questioning eyes. Eyes, smiling like a flower, said: "Run away."
Then he added maliciously: "I was scared by you."
The wrinkles between Shen Lingyuan's eyebrows deepened: "???"
I just praised it for being human!
"Forget it, let's go back." Shen Lingyuan's favorability for the horse plummeted, he sighed, and said, "Then what are you going to do with these people?"
Shen Yanqing tilted his head, smiling unabated: "Maybe I have to trouble Han Shaoqing for a walk."
Hearing this, Shen Lingyuan remained silent, stepped forward and kicked the corpse of the killer leader, revealing a machete made of good material, with a beautiful six-petal plum blossom imprint on the handle.
Shen Lingyuan looked very familiar with this thing, "I seem to know these people..."
In the middle of speaking, Shen Lingyuan suddenly felt a slight coolness on his lips, and then his phoenix eyes slightly opened under the mask.
A handsome face with a half-smile appeared in front of his eyes.
"Knowing too much is not a good thing, Zihui." Shen Yanqing came to Shen Lingyuan's side at some point, pretending to be mysterious, and warned softly.
Although his mouth was threatening, Shen Yanqing took off the cloak on his body with the other hand, and then withdrew the finger on Shen Lingyuan's mouth, and wrapped the wrist around his shoulders that were not considered thin after a young age, and put the windproof coat on his shoulders. It landed on Shen Lingyuan's body, covering the blood on the black clothes.
"In this way we can go back through the official route."
After Shen Yanqing finished speaking, he had already stepped away, and Shen Lingyuan was left holding the knot with one hand, and was stunned for a moment.
The boy's first reaction was that the cloak was very warm.
It's just that it's too warm, otherwise why would he feel dizzy.
On the way back, the two were silent all the way, Shen Yanqing walked in front with his hands behind his back, and Shen Lingyuan shrank in his cloak and followed behind.
He was wearing a pure black mask, but he was wearing a white cloak. No matter how he looked, he looked a little nondescript, which attracted the attention of passers-by around him.
Of course, his attractiveness is not as good as the goblin Shen Yanqing.
Shen Lingyuan felt the surprised eyes surrounding Shen Yanqing, and even wanted to fight his way back into the alley.
After rejecting four or five enthusiastic mother-in-law's matchmaking, Shen Yanqing also had some headaches, so he could only find where there were few people.
The road back to the mansion was long, and Shen Lingyuan was bored. He casually looked at this seemingly peaceful new building, from the restaurant to the willows, and then to a cheerfully running stream with a quaint stone bridge on it.
Although Shen Lingyuan was born in the capital, he seldom went out and didn't know many places, but this stone bridge was one of the few place names that Shen Lingyuan could remember.
Goose back to the bridge.
Named after the princess who triggered a vision on this bridge.
The first legendary woman in Donglin's history who went to Beili alone to get married.
According to folklore, the last time the princess looked at the scenery of her hometown on this stone bridge, it happened that a group of wild geese flying north turned south for some reason and hovered over Princess Jingyun for a long time.
Born with a vision, many voices opposed the princess getting married.
But Donglin's royal family was unmoved, and Princess Jingyun was also stubborn, so the vision did not waver in her decision to marry.
Jingyun set off resolutely and went to Beili.
After Princess Jingyun left, the first emperor named the bridge she passed Yanhui, sealed off the Ximen at that time, and rebuilt the current Xizhimen.
As a result, the once prosperous Yanhui Bridge gradually withered. Shen Lingyuan remembered that when he and Mama Liu came, there were still many people who came for outings, but now, there are only two or three pedestrians, and an old lady who sells lanterns.
Shen Lingyuan was recalling, but Shen Yanqing in front of him suddenly stopped for some reason, as if he was waiting for him.
Shen Lingyuan walked slowly to his side, and heard Shen Yanqing say: "Do you want to put a lantern?"
The voice was very soft, as if asking, with a hint of plea, not at all like the cold and bloody new Marquis Changxing, but more like the gentle and refined brother Yan Qing under the old crabapple tree.
While Shen Lingyuan was still dazed by his sudden change, Shen Yanqing had already bought two lamps and stuffed one of them into his hand.
Shen Lingyuan looked at the lantern in his arms, and wanted to decline a few words, but a soft crying sound caught his attention.
Shen Lingyuan turned around and saw that it was two children arguing, to be precise, a pair of brothers and sisters.
The little girl pulled the boy's skirt: "Brother, just put one, can't you just put one?"
The boy frowned and knocked down his sister's hand: "No! Be good, we still have to save our money for food! Come home with me."
The little girl pursed her lips, and translucent pearls rolled down her pink and jade-carved face, and the rolling got bigger and bigger, and the rolling got faster and faster, and she couldn't stop the brake at all.
She rubbed forward in small steps, but her tearful eyes still stared at the lanterns of different shapes on the old grandma's stall.
Seeing this, Shen Lingyuan frowned slightly. He really wanted to have a younger sister, and he swore that if he had a younger sister, he would pamper her to the heavens and never let anyone feel wronged.
Therefore, he really couldn't see such a big girl crying, holding the lamp in her hand and was about to step forward, but Shen Yanqing grabbed her arm.
"Some things can't just be taken on the surface."
Just as Shen Yanqing was speaking, the boy stopped, turned his head and squatted down, rather helplessly wiped away the little girl's tears with his sleeves, and sighed softly, "Only this time."
"Yeah!" The little girl finally stopped her tears and smiled sweetly.
The boy comforted his sister, and it seemed that he mustered up a lot of courage before he walked to the lantern booth and pointed to the simplest peach blossom lantern among them, obviously asking the price.
Shen Lingyuan originally thought that the episode would be resolved in this way, but the boy didn't pay for it for a long time, his small face was wrinkled together, looking very embarrassed.
I thought it was not enough money.
Shen Lingyuan's quick temper came up again, he took a step forward and slapped his waist with both hands, it was empty, and the air was filled with embarrassment.
If Shen Lingyuan was still the heir of the Marquis Mansion in the past, in such a situation, there would be a high probability that he would buy out the entire lantern shop and let the little girl choose by herself, but now he is just a poor guy who lives under someone's fence, with intentions but powerlessness.
Seeing this, Shen Yanqing chuckled, came to his side, and said, "There are some things that don't need to be rushed."
Shen Lingyuan didn't like any big principles since he was a child, and now he was even more anxious, and couldn't listen to anything, but because his pocket was cleaner than his face, he couldn't help, so he could only stand by and watch.
Not only Shen Lingyuan was so anxious, but the little boy was also very anxious. He looked back at his expectant sister, then at the money in his hand, gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, but he didn't wait for him to say anything.
The old woman had already stuffed the lantern into his hand.
"Take it. No more money."
The boy was startled at first, and then instantly beamed with joy. After several confirmations, he thanked him repeatedly, and happily went to find his sister.
Shen Yanqing looked at the boy's running back and said, "Look. You don't need to take action at all."
Shen Lingyuan pursed his lips and retorted: "But the old woman may have spent the night guarding for nothing."
Shen Yanqing shook his head, "The two children will definitely appreciate the kindness of the old lady, and help her if they have nothing to do. I think for a widow, there is nothing greater than the company of two children."
After Shen Yanqing finished speaking, the two children also finished setting off the lanterns, as if they had made an appointment with Shen Yanqing. The boy really brought his younger sister to thank the old woman, and promised that he would come to help in a few days.
Seeing this, Shen Lingyuan was so surprised that he opened his mouth slightly, he couldn't help thinking in his heart, if he followed his method, he would wrap up the lantern shop and let the little girl choose.
The old lady would be happy for a while because the lanterns were sold out, and the little girl would be happy for a moment because she picked out the lantern she liked, but the three of them lost the opportunity to continue to know each other and stay together.
When Shen Lingyuan was weighing the pros and cons, the two children had already left, but the old lady left the booth and was walking towards the two.
Shen Lingyuan stepped forward and supported the old man.
The old man's face was full of happiness at the moment, he thanked Shen Lingyuan, and then bowed to Shen Yanqing: "Master Yan, thank you very much."
Shen Yanqing stepped forward to stop the old man's body: "You don't have to be polite, mother-in-law. I will trouble you to take care of the two children from now on."
The gully on the old woman's face seemed to be filled in an instant, and Shen Lingyuan could tell that she was definitely a beauty before.
"That's natural. I will try my best."
After the old lady finished speaking, she tactfully refused Shen Lingyuan's support, and walked back with her back straightened, as if she was ten years younger in an instant. After she returned, she closed the stall and left without waiting for customers.
Thinking that she should have gained a lot tonight, Shen Lingyuan finally came to a conclusion.
In the quiet night, by the cool stream, this time it was really only the two of them left.
Accompanied by a gust of breeze, Shen Lingyuan sighed: "No wonder Lord Hou is so predictable, so you arranged all of this."
Shen Yanqing glanced at him, and took a step forward: "It's not arranged like this, and it's not the Dragon Boat Festival. Where did the lanterns come from in this desolate place?"
Shen Lingyuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.
Shen Yanqing looked back, under the moonlight, the man smiled softly: "Let's go."
Shen Lingyuan hesitated: "Where are you going?"
"Go and put the lanterns, is it possible that you want to take it back to the Marquis Mansion?"
Shen Lingyuan followed Shen Yanqing to the river, but his mind went blank. He threw the lantern into the water in a panic, and his fingers brushed against Shen Yanqing's retracted fingertips, feeling cold for a while.
Shen Lingyuan's eyes refocused, he stood up and took off the cloak, and put it back on Shen Yanqing's body.
"There's no one left now."
He said softly, his eyes drifted far away, and he happened to be able to see three peach blossom lanterns, which were slowly drifting into the distance with the flowing water.
Shen Lingyuan recalled that when he was ten years old, he pestered Shen Yanqing in Haitang Garden to put up lanterns in the same way.
"I'm still sick, so I really can't go out. When I recover, I'll take you to put lanterns, okay?"
Little Shen Lingyuan pouted unhappily, "Then you swear!"
Xiao Shen Yanqing also smiled so gently: "I swear."
Shen Lingyuan didn't answer, he stepped on the pedal, got on the horse, and drove away with a whip.
So far, he felt that he had finally found the correct way to get along with Shen Yanqing.
It's just a relationship of mutual use.
Muchun Pavilion is near Nanzhimen, and the fastest way to go back to the Hou's Mansion is through a few secluded alleys behind Yanque Tower to the official road of Xizhimen.
There was nothing wrong when he first entered the alley, but the deeper Shen Lingyuan went, the more he felt something was wrong.
Soon this premonition came true. The horse is worthy of being a horse with human nature. It raised its hooves in time before the traps. After neighing for a while, the iron palm stepped out a melody on the ground, nailed the horse, and stopped. car.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Shen Lingyuan took advantage of the kicking of the horse and rushed into the carriage. Without waiting for anyone to react, he wrapped one hand around Shen Yanqing's waist, stepped lightly on the wooden board with his foot to borrow strength, stepped across the roof of the carriage, and landed safely behind the carriage.
A familiar aroma of herbs came to the nostrils, and the delicate touch in his hand made Shen Lingyuan feel uncomfortable.
Why is he so thin.
"Ah. I forgot about them."
Shen Yanqing's voice rang like a life-saving bell, bringing back the distracted Shen Lingyuan.
Shen Lingyuan let go of his hand like an electric shock, frowned and asked, "Who are they?"
"Like you, someone who wants to take my life."
Shen Yanqing didn't realize that he was being hunted down at all, so he calmly asked Shen Lingyuan: "You should be able to handle it."
At times like this, I can still laugh.
Facing Shen Yanqing's indifferent smiling face, Shen Lingyuan felt a tightness in his chest and rushed out with a lunge without answering.
"You should pray that I don't come with them to kill you."
"Then I'll just pray."
Although Shen Yanqing's voice was very soft, Shen Lingyuan's ears were good, so he heard it, his feet shuddered, and he almost fell into the air.
Now it is reckoned that the only way to relieve Shen Lingyuan's ailment is that his heart is not going well because of his poor verbal skills.
Shen Lingyuan raised his arms to protect a person and a car behind him, and glanced across, there were about a dozen black-clothed killers, all holding scimitar weapons, each with fierce eyes, which should have been stained with a lot of blood.

Shen Lingyuan was wearing a mask and in the dark night. The man in black didn't know his age, but felt that this man was very thin, his arms and legs were not big enough for them.
"The mantis arm is a car, and it is beyond its own power."
The few standing in front looked at each other, and I don't know who choked, and the three of them rushed forward with their knives in hand.
Shen Lingyuan didn't panic at all, he moved his feet and dodged the three sword blades, his face remained unchanged, but he said in his heart: These people are nothing more than that.
It's not that Shen Lingyuan is arrogant, but that the moves of these desperadoes seem to be fierce, but in fact they have no rules at all. It seems that they used to rely on their aura to overwhelm their opponents.
But Shen Lingyuan is someone who can struggle to survive under the shadows, relying on strength, not arrogance. In his eyes, the attacks of these people can be said to be full of loopholes.
After finding out the details of these people with a few tricks, Shen Lingyuan stopped dodging, and grabbed the wrist of a man in black with one hand, and with a strong force, there was a bang, and the muscles and bones broke.
But after a while, the three who charged had already laid down on the ground. Shen Lingyuan swung the knife he had snatched and pointed at the man in black standing on the highest step.
That man was obviously the leader of these killers, he was staring at Shen Lingyuan firmly at this moment, and then waved his hand.
Another three cannon fodders were judged by fate.
The three of them knew that it was hopeless to retreat, so they could only growl boldly, and raised their sabers to charge forward.
Shen Lingyuan also knew that if he didn't get rid of these minions, that person might not fight.
Shen Lingyuan is not a mother-in-law, he made up his mind, walked like flying, his movements are not muddled, like a fish swimming in the dark night.
After a stick of incense, the whole dark alley was filled with a smell of blood.
Shen Lingyuan stood among a pile of corpses, looking coldly at the person on the slope.
Although he couldn't see his expression clearly with the moonlight on his back, he could probably guess that the man must be very angry.

Shen Yanqing stared at the young man holding the knife in front of him, and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this was the first time you killed someone."
"It's not the first time." Shen Lingyuan raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Yanqing.

He walked quickly around the carriage again.
The ink eyebrows under Shen Lingyuan's mask instantly twitched. He raised his head suddenly and called out, "Where's the horse?!"
Against the backdrop of black and red, Shen Yanqing looked like a painting. His white clothes were not stained with blood, but it was just marks from two extra ropes on his hands. He met Shen Lingyuan's questioning eyes. Eyes, smiling like a flower, said: "Run away."

"Forget it, let's go back." Shen Lingyuan's favorability for the horse plummeted, he sighed, and said, "Then what are you going to do with these people?"
Shen Yanqing tilted his head, smiling unabated: "Maybe I have to trouble Han Shaoqing for a walk."
Hearing this, Shen Lingyuan remained silent, stepped forward and kicked the corpse of the killer leader, revealing a machete made of good material, with a beautiful six-petal plum blossom imprint on the handle.
Shen Lingyuan looked very familiar with this thing, "I seem to know these people..."
In the middle of speaking, Shen Lingyuan suddenly felt a slight coolness on his lips, and then his phoenix eyes slightly opened under the mask.
A handsome face with a half-smile appeared in front of his eyes.

The little girl pursed her lips, and translucent pearls rolled down her pink and jade-carved face, and the rolling got bigger and bigger, and the rolling got faster and faster, and she couldn't stop the brake at all.
She rubbed forward in small steps, but her tearful eyes still stared at the lanterns of different shapes on the old grandma's stall.
Seeing this, Shen Lingyuan frowned slightly. He really wanted to have a younger sister, and he swore that if he had a younger sister, he would pamper her to the heavens and never let anyone feel wronged.

"Take it. No more money."
The boy was startled at first, and then instantly beamed with joy. After several confirmations, he thanked him repeatedly, and happily went to find his sister.

Seeing this, Shen Lingyuan was so surprised that he opened his mouth slightly, he couldn't help thinking in his heart, if he followed his method, he would wrap up the lantern shop and let the little girl choose.
The old lady would be happy for a while because the lanterns were sold out, and the little girl would be happy for a moment because she picked out the lantern she liked, but the three of them lost the opportunity to continue to know each other and stay together.
When Shen Lingyuan was weighing the pros and cons, the two children had already left, but the old lady left the booth and was walking towards the two.
Shen Lingyuan stepped forward and supported the old man.
The old man's face was full of happiness at the moment, he thanked Shen Lingyuan, and then bowed to Shen Yanqing: "Master Yan, thank you very much."
Shen Yanqing stepped forward to stop the old man's body: "You don't have to be polite, mother-in-law. I will trouble you to take care of the two children from now on."
The gully on the old woman's face seemed to be filled in an instant, and Shen Lingyuan could tell that she was definitely a beauty before.
"That's natural. I will try my best."
After the old lady finished speaking, she tactfully refused Shen Lingyuan's support, and walked back with her back straightened, as if she was ten years younger in an instant. After she returned, she closed the stall and left without waiting for customers.
Thinking that she should have gained a lot tonight, Shen Lingyuan finally came to a conclusion.
In the quiet night, by the cool stream, this time it was really only the two of them left.
Accompanied by a gust of breeze, Shen Lingyuan sighed: "No wonder Lord Hou is so predictable, so you arranged all of this."
Shen Yanqing glanced at him, and took a step forward: "It's not arranged like this, and it's not the Dragon Boat Festival. Where did the lanterns come from in this desolate place?"
Shen Lingyuan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.
Shen Yanqing looked back, under the moonlight, the man smiled softly: "Let's go."
Shen Lingyuan hesitated: "Where are you going?"
"Go and put the lanterns, is it possible that you want to take it back to the Marquis Mansion?"
Shen Lingyuan followed Shen Yanqing to the river, but his mind went blank. He threw the lantern into the water in a panic, and his fingers brushed against Shen Yanqing's retracted fingertips, feeling cold for a while.
Shen Lingyuan's eyes refocused, he stood up and took off the cloak, and put it back on Shen Yanqing's body.
"There's no one left now."
He said softly, his eyes drifted far away, and he happened to be able to see three peach blossom lanterns, which were slowly drifting into the distance with the flowing water.
Shen Lingyuan recalled that when he was ten years old, he pestered Shen Yanqing in Haitang Garden to put up lanterns in the same way.
"I'm still sick, so I really can't go out. When I recover, I'll take you to put lanterns, okay?"
Little Shen Lingyuan pouted unhappily, "Then you swear!"
Xiao Shen Yanqing also smiled so gently: "I swear."
