Chapter 429 Shu Yuanqi rescues Zhang Zhirou
The backyard of Prince Jin's Mansion.
In the woodshed in the west yard, two gatekeepers were eating. Suddenly, an unusual noise was heard in the corner of the wall, attracting the attention of one of them.
"What's the noise?"
The other person was eating happily and didn't hear anything. "There was no noise at all. Are you too nervous?"
The tall and thin guard put down the bowl and went to the corner to check.
The dim candlelight didn't illuminate the corner clearly, but it was still clear that it was the same as usual.
Another person came over and asked, "How is it? Is everything okay?"
The tall and thin man shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything."
Another person laughed and said, "You're just too nervous. It's such a small yard, you can see it all at a glance, how can there be any movement?"
"Besides, this is the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Who would dare to come here and rob people?"
The tall and thin man breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "Oh! I'm just taking a look to put my mind at ease!"
"You know that although His Highness the Prince of Jin appears to be approachable, he is actually quite ruthless. If we fail to catch him, we might lose our lives!"
Since his life is at stake, he still has to be extremely alert!
"Alright, alright, let's eat! We've been hungry all night since Master Zheng came over!"
The two went back to continue eating. The people in the front yard brought them three dishes and a soup. The food was good.
"The people in the front yard are kind enough to send us a meat dish. Come on, eat it! If you don't eat it now, I'll finish it all!"
"You should eat more. I've already eaten a lot." Seeing that he liked to eat meat, the tall and thin man asked him to eat more, while he only ate the side dishes in the meat dish.
The other person nodded and ate with chopsticks one after another. Suddenly, he felt a dizziness in front of his eyes and fell down uncontrollably.
"Da Li! What's wrong with you?" The tall and thin man had just finished speaking when his vision started spinning. He felt a strong sense of unease in his heart. Just as he was about to move, his body went limp and he fainted.
After the two men fell unconscious, a figure with limited mobility walked out of the darkness.
He got the key from the guard and opened the door.
In the woodshed, Zhang Zhirou, dressed in red, was lying on the ground in a miserable state, unable to exert any strength.
"Woo!!"
In the darkness, Zhang Zhirou couldn't see the person coming and subconsciously felt fear.
She is at her weakest now. Anyone can easily kill her. How can she not worry?
"Shh! Don't talk, don't shout, I'm here to save you!"
In the dim light, the man made a very low sound, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
She felt that the voice sounded familiar, so she stopped moving.
Only when the man pulled the gag off her mouth and untied the rope did she see who was coming.
"why you?"
Shu Yuanqi! How could it be him?
Shu Yuanqi didn't say anything, but took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to her, "This is what I bought at the Zhenyao Pavilion. It's said to be an antidote to cartilage powder. You should take it quickly."
"The two people outside were just drugged. We don't know when they'll wake up, so stop talking nonsense and get out of here!"
Zhang Zhirou looked at the person in front of her, feeling surprised and a little embarrassed.
She scolded him badly the past two days, but she didn't expect that he would come to save her!
Shu Yuanqi stood up and prepared to leave, but saw Zhang Zhirou still sitting on the ground. He said anxiously, "Stop being stunned and leave!"
Zhang Zhirou moved her body, but she couldn't exert any strength.
Those bastards gave her so many medicines!
She looked at Shu Yuanqi, a look of shame and embarrassment on her face, "I, I can't move..."
Even after taking the antidote for the cartilage powder, it would still take some time to detoxify, so her whole body was still weak and she couldn't stand up and walk at all.
Shu Yuanqi glanced at the guards outside, then made up his mind and walked over to her and squatted down, "Come up, I'll carry you!"
She was stunned. He carried her on his back?
"Come up quickly!"
Seeing that she didn't move, he shouted anxiously again.
He doesn't know any martial arts skills, only some mediocre ones. If those two guards really wake up, they will be in real danger!
Zhang Zhirou is not a shy person, but this man has a special identity, and he himself has a broken leg... If he carries her on his back, he probably won't even be able to walk, right?
She was about to refuse, but he grabbed her hand and pulled her onto his back.
She screamed in surprise and subconsciously wrapped her arms around the chest of the person in front of her.
Shu Yuanqi felt the pressure on his back and it took a lot of effort to stand up. The piercing pain in his injured leg made him gasp.
Zhang Zhirou was standing behind him, noticing beads of sweat dripping down his temples. She asked worriedly, "Are you okay? If not, put me down!"
He gritted his teeth, shook his head, dragged his injured leg, held onto the door frame, and moved little by little.
The heavy pressure caused his legs to suffer tremendous squeezing and pain with every step.
Zhang Zhirou looked at him, feeling extremely ashamed.
So, what Sister He said is true, he is really not what he seems to be?
Were all the things he did and said to Sister He before fake? Was he trying to help Sister He?
It turned out that she was really mean-spirited.
Zhang Zhirou secretly swore in her heart that if she could return safely this time, she would definitely speak well of Shu Yuanqi!
"Stop, stop! Who is it?"
Just as the two of them were leaving smoothly, a weak angry shout suddenly came from behind them.
It was the tall and thin guard. He was not drugged much, and he was extremely uneasy, so he struggled to wake up.
However, he felt weak and powerless, and only saw two overlapping figures leaving.
Knowing full well what kind of punishment the King of Jin would take on his subordinates who performed their duties poorly, he exerted his unlimited potential out of fear and actually stood up.
Seeing this, Shu Yuanqi quickly quickened his pace, even though every step was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
They were located to the west of the Jin Palace, a place few people came to. The west gate was not far to the right of the courtyard where Shu Yuanqi lived. As long as they left the Jin Palace, it would be difficult for the people there to catch them.
But Shu Yuanqi had difficulty moving, and even though the tall and thin man had been drugged, he was gradually recovering.
"stop!"
He was chasing closely behind.
Seeing they were about to be caught up, Zhang Zhirou patted Shu Yuanqi's shoulder and said anxiously, "You go first. They won't kill me! I'll take the antidote and recover in a while!"
Shu Yuanqi shook his head. "That man spoke in a low voice, which means he didn't dare to make a big deal out of this. Otherwise, the King of Jin would never let him go!"
"He's the only one I can handle!"
After saying that, he put Zhang Zhirou aside, took out a dagger from his waist, and lay in ambush in the corridor.
The moonlight was dim, and the tall and thin man was chasing after him. His eyes were a little dizzy, and he didn't notice Shu Yuanqi hiding behind the pillar at all.
It wasn't until a cold light flashed across his face that he subconsciously dodged.
This dodge allowed him to avoid a fatal blow.
The dagger that was originally heading for the guard's neck stabbed into the man's shoulder.
As soon as the scream of pain rang out, Shu Yuanqi covered it with his hands.
The two men rolled to the ground and tangled together.
Although Shu Yuanqi's leg was injured, his strength was not weak. He tightly wrapped his arms around the guard's neck, preventing him from moving.
The tall and thin guard, driven by the desire to survive, put up a fierce resistance.
Just when Shu Yuanqi felt that he was about to lose the lock, Zhang Zhirou forced herself to move over, pulled out the knife from the tall and thin man's shoulder, and thrust it fiercely into the man's neck.
Suddenly, blood splattered, staining Zhang Zhirou and Shu Yuanqi's clothes red.
Realizing that the person in his hand had no ability to resist, Shu Yuanqi breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground.
He now has no strength left in his body.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the front yard, which made him nervous again.
"Zhang Zhirou heard our plan. If she's sent to the Dali Temple prison, how can I carry it out? You have to know that there are spies from all sides in that place!"
Zheng Zihe certainly knew it, but he couldn't care less at this moment.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Jin, I brought poison that will render her speechless!"
"I guarantee that even if Liu Ruxin is a miracle doctor, there's no way he can make her utter a single word in such a short time!"
