"Did you see clearly who it was?" Tang Youyou walked towards Ye Yue.
"I couldn't see very clearly. I'll wait for Zhuifeng to catch that person and find out."
Zhuifeng chased after the figure all the way outside the city, but there was no sign of the person.
Only then did she realize that this was clearly a scheme to lure the tiger away from its den, deliberately leading her away so that they could attack Tang Youyou.
But with Ye Yue by her side at this moment, there should be no problem.
Their target should be Ye Yue. After all, she had always been hiding in the dark to protect them, and it was not easy for others to find her.
However, now she had been exposed.
Ye Yue felt the murderous aura around her. She tightly held the hilt of her sword, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw something moving on the wall. She bent down, picked up a stone, and shot it forcefully.
Tang Youyou also noticed the commotion around the yard and found that they had been surrounded by these people.
"Attack!"
At the order of the leader, many masked men jumped out from all directions.
Amidst the chaotic shadows of swords and blades, Ye Yue fought fiercely. The casual look on her face from usual was gone, and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
The leader rushed straight towards Tang Youyou and stabbed at her with his sword horizontally. Ye Yue, quick - witted, kicked him far away. He picked up a sword on the ground, held it with both hands, and spun towards them.
Tang Youyou was not to be outdone. She threw silver needles at the masked men's vital points.
She wanted to use poison to attack, but she didn't have any poison on her at the moment, so she thought of going back to the room to get some.
The leader seemed to see her intention. He leaped in front of her, blocking her way, and slapped her on the chest.
Tang Youyou staggered back. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, she fell into someone's arms.
"Be careful."
At this time, Zhuifeng galloped back on her horse. She threw a sharp sword at the man, and it stabbed straight into his heart.
Tang Youyou stood up straight and wanted to thank her, but found that Zhuifeng had already joined Ye Yue in the battle.
The two seemed to have years of tacit understanding. They only needed to exchange a glance to know what the other was thinking.
Seeing their leader fall to the ground, these people seemed to want to escape.
However, Zhuifeng didn't give them a chance. The two of them, one inside and the other outside, forced the remaining people into a group.
"Capture them alive." Tang Youyou wanted to know who had been after her relentlessly.
Receiving the order, the two didn't kill them but only knocked them unconscious. Then they tied up the three remaining living men tightly with ropes.
Tang Youyou covered her chest. That slap really hurt.
Seeing the three men tied up and thrown on the ground, and noticing that Tang Youyou was not feeling well, they quickly stepped forward to check on her.
"I'm fine." She let out a long sigh and rubbed the injured area.
But Ye Yue was still worried. "Zhuifeng, take a look at Miss's injury. I'll wake these people up here."
Zhuifeng picked up Tang Youyou horizontally and carried her to the bed in the room. She was about to take off Tang Youyou's outer clothes when Tang Youyou stopped her in time.
"I'll do it myself."
Although they were both women, she was still not used to others touching her body.
She took off her outer and inner clothes and saw that her chest was bruised, which showed that the slap was not light.
Although Tang Youyou knew some martial arts, she was no match for these people who had been fighting all year round.
"I'll go find Tang Jun to take a look at you."
Tang Youyou was just about to say that it was okay, that she just needed to apply some medicine. After all, she was a medical student.
But before she could say anything, Zhuifeng had disappeared.
"She's really fast."
At this time, Tang Jun, who didn't know what had happened yet, was taking care of patients in the medical clinic. When he heard the news, he was so shocked that the silver needles in his hand dropped.
"What!"
Yue Fusheng also immediately looked serious. The two of them quickly closed the door and rushed home.
"You'er!"
Before entering the door, Tang Jun shouted anxiously and rushed into the inner courtyard in a hurry.
Tang Youyou stood up and saw Tang Jun, sweating profusely from running. "Slow down. You're not young anymore. You can't afford to fall. I'm fine. Don't worry."
"How can I not worry? Where are you hurt?"
Tang Jun entered the room to check her injury. Outside, the other three people stared coldly at the three men tied up like zongzi on the ground.
"Who sent you?"
Ye Yue said, "We're still investigating."
When Zhuifeng went out just now, he had already written a quick report and sent it to Rong Xun.
He thought these people were instructed by Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan should be dead.
Tang Youyou didn't have any enemies who wanted to kill her. Since they weren't after her, they must be after his master.
But the most likely person was Lin Yuan!
After Tang Jun finished checking Tang Youyou, although the injury was not serious, this time she had suffered a shock to her fetus and injured her internal organs.
"It should be caused by the shock. It's not a big problem. I'll prescribe a few doses of medicine. You'll get better after taking them for a few days."
Hearing this, Tang Youyou let out a sigh of relief.
When she fell backward at that time, she was really scared. If Zhuifeng hadn't protected her in time, the outcome would have been very bad.
Tang Jun instructed, "Rest well these few days. Yue Fusheng and I will also stay at home."
Tang Youyou thought he was being overly worried. "I'm really fine. Having the two of them is enough. You should go about your business. Don't all stay around me."
But Tang Jun didn't agree. This was his only granddaughter and great - grandchild. Nothing was more important than them.
"No. Listen to me."
Tang Jun was usually a crazy and carefree person, but this time he was unusually determined.
Seeing this, Tang Youyou had no choice but to obey him.
Ye Yue and the others took the three men to the wood shed and tied them to the pillars one by one.
Zhuifeng checked if there was any suicide poison in their mouths. To prevent them from biting their tongues to commit suicide, she stuffed cloth into their mouths.
Yue Fusheng brought cold water and poured it on their heads one by one. When they were all awake, he whipped them with a whip soaked in chili water.
Ye Yue watched their painful expressions coldly. "Who sent you? If you tell me the mastermind behind this, I can spare your lives. If you've thought it through and are willing to speak, just nod your heads. If you'd rather die than submit, that's fine too. Anyway, I'm bored at the moment. I'll just have some fun with you guys."
Saying this, Ye Yue took out a spiked iron chain from the back of her waist and waved it in front of the three men. "Don't worry. I won't let you die easily. I'll control the strength."
At this time, in the grand and full - seated main hall, a huge white owl flew through the door from outside.
The serious look on Rong Xun's face immediately turned gloomy.
Wen Xue grabbed the white owl and handed the letter on it to him.
Rong Xun opened it and only took one look. The cold aura around him made everyone present shiver.
Wen Xue and Tie Shou glanced at each other. Something really serious must have happened to make him so angry.
