The development of the situation was completely out of Xiao Zheng's expectations, he did not understand why the group of people following Ye Shiguan would suddenly attack him, and even more did not know who ordered them to do so.
Ah Si?
Xiao Zheng did not believe that Ah Si alone would dare to go against Ye Shiguan. It was also impossible for him to rope in too many confidants under Ye Shiguan's nose. Furthermore, others might not know Ye Shiguan's character, but how could Ah Si not know? He knew that if he lost, he would definitely be torn to pieces by Ye Shiguan.
Then, who was it that ordered Ah Si to bribe Ye Shiguan's number one confidant?
Who else in Ming Zhu could offer a bargaining chip that could move Ah Si?
It must be known that Ye Shiguan was only one step away from reaching the peak. As long as Ah Si did not make any mistakes, when Ye Shiguan ascended, would he mistreat his confidant?
Since that was the case, why did he want to kill Ye Shiguan?
Could it be that he wanted to take a gamble, and risk his life at Ye Shiguan's most crucial moment?
Time waits for no man, Black Bear had already charged towards the assassins with bloodshot eyes. After a brief brainstorm, Xiao Zheng waved his hand and quickly gave the order: "Protect him."
"Yes!"
Ma Choi Jun, Mega Gun and the rest quickly followed. He resisted the group of menacing machetemen.
With Mega Gun's explosive power, the ten assassins could not even get close to him, if not for the assassins swarming in from outside the door. He had probably used his powerful body to get close to Ah Si.
On the other hand, Black Bear was a tall and strong man. Although he was injured, he had a high status in Ming Zhu's Jianghu. In addition to his unorthodox training, ordinary swordsmen would not be able to take a single blow from him. So although the other side had the advantage in numbers, they each had their own abilities, and when the battle broke out, no one could do anything to the other.
Ye Shiguan, who had suffered a few slashes, leaned back on the sofa with a pale face, but his eyes were still clear. Xiao Zheng saw that they were getting more and more courageous as they fought, and would not be in trouble in a short period of time. He could not help but light two cigarettes, and handed one to Ye Shiguan, whose breathing was slightly erratic.
"Thank you." Ye Shiguan hesitated for a moment before taking the cigarette from Xiao Zheng.
"You don't understand?" Xiao Zheng asked casually as he slowly took a drag of his cigarette.
Ye Shiguan nodded lightly and asked calmly, "What about you?"
"Me?" Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly. "You can't even see it from so high up. What can I see?"
Ye Shiguan took a drag of his cigarette, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. "Are you mocking me?"
"You've already said that. I'm only suitable for charging and breaking through enemy lines. You'll have to rely on me to devise strategies. "Xiao Zheng smiled in a strange manner. "What? Did you forget what you said so quickly?"
Ye Shiguan spat out a mouthful of smoke and stared at Ah Si, who was hiding in the saber and refusing to show his face. "Ah Si doesn't have that ability."
"These people followed you here. Yet, not a single person listens to you. Instead, they want to kill you. "Xiao Zheng retorted. "If he didn't have the ability, how could he have instigated all the people around you?"
"He was the one who chose them. Moreover, I've already sent out most of my men tonight. "A trace of frustration flashed in Ye Shiguan's eyes.
No matter how much he thought about it, he didn't expect Ah Si to rebel, let alone at this time.
Did he not want to live anymore? Where did he get the guts from? Even if he could kill him tonight, could he escape?
Ye Shiguan fell into deep thought. Blood kept flowing from his body.
"Why don't we send you to the hospital first?" Xiao Zheng suggested.
"No need." Ye Shiguan shook his head. "The mastermind hasn't shown himself yet. If this matter isn't resolved, he won't let me go to the hospital alive. "
"If you die, you can only go to the morgue." Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and said domineeringly. "You said it just now. I'm suitable for charging and breaking through enemy lines. Do you think someone can kill you under my nose? "
"I know you're good." Ye Shiguan flicked the ash off his cigarette skillfully and pursed his lips. "You were better than me back then, and you're even better now."
"Only by staying alive can I have a chance to start over," Xiao Zheng said seriously.
"I've already lost." Ye Shiguan frowned slightly. Although he was unwilling, he was convinced.
"Everyone loses," Xiao Zheng said. "You've never lost before?"
"No." Ye Shiguan said stubbornly. "I've never lost in my life."
"Liar." Xiao Zheng said word by word. "I've beaten you more than once."
A smile flashed across Ye Shiguan's pale but handsome face when he heard that. "It's fine if you lie to the Zhao family, but you have the cheek to say that in front of me?"
Xiao Zheng smiled. "Losing isn't scary. I'm just afraid you won't admit defeat. "
"I admit defeat." Ye Shiguan pursed his lips. "I don't even know who the other party is or when they started scheming against me. I admit defeat. "
Ye Shiguan wasn't the only one who had this question. Xiao Zheng was also stunned.
They had predicted Chen Chong and Li Mubai's intentions. They had even predicted that Zhao Qingyun would rebel. But from start to finish, Ye Shiguan and Xiao Zheng had never expected that Ah Si would rebel and even want to kill Ye Shiguan.
Who was the mastermind behind all this? And when did they start plotting?
The scariest thing in this world wasn't strength, but the unknown. Unknown dangers and unknown enemies were the most terrifying things in the world.
"Boss!"
Ma Choi Jun, who was covered in blood, fought with all his might. He couldn't help but turn around and shout at Xiao Zheng, "We're fighting a bloody battle here. Do you plan to chat with him all night?"
Xiao Zheng gradually came back to his senses. He saw that Mega Gun and the others were exhausted and injured. Outside the door, there was an endless stream of knife-wielding people. They were like locusts. There was no end to them.
"Looks like we should talk somewhere else," Xiao Zheng said helplessly. "If we stay here, we'll all die."
Ye Shiguan shook his head and rejected Xiao Zheng's suggestion. "If you stay with me, you'll all die."
"You're implying that you'll stay behind to cover the retreat?" Xiao Zheng asked with narrowed eyes.
"You've always been the one covering the retreat. Leave it to me this time," Ye Shiguan said with a smile.
"Don't force yourself. Those who use their brains should focus on using their brains. Don't cross over and steal our jobs, "Xiao Zheng said with a frown.
Ye Shiguan saw Xiao Zheng slowly take out the fountain pen in front of his chest. His eyes gradually became peaceful. "I tried to assassinate you before. Why are you still helping me? "
"You also saved me before." Xiao Zheng grinned. "That bowl of noodles was the most delicious I've ever eaten in my life."
"I've been hungry for two days. Anything tastes good." Ye Shiguan looked at the pale island.
"You're the first person to treat me to a meal. Except for the old dean, no one has ever spent money to treat me to a meal, "Xiao Zheng said with a calm look.
"Now I have the ability to treat you to delicacies," Ye Shiguan said with blurred eyes. "But I've never treated you even once."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future," Xiao Zheng said with a frown as he saw more and more machetemen outside the door. "Let's go. If we don't go, we'll be blocked. "
"You go. They can't stop you. "Ye Shiguan shook his head lightly. "It'll be very hard for you to take me with you."
Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice, "Do you think I'm afraid of hard work?"
"I'm afraid." Ye Shiguan lit a cigarette and slowly sat on the sofa. His face was extremely pale because of excessive blood loss. Even his voice had become weak. He waved his hand and said to Xiao Zheng. "Let's go. It's not safe here. "
Seeing that he refused to leave, Xiao Zheng sat opposite Ye Shiguan with a cold face and said in a deep voice, "You're afraid of losing once? Ye Shiguan, when did you become so weak? "
Seeing that the two of them refused to leave, Shen Manjun said anxiously, "What are you still sitting here for? They're going to kill us soon. Let's go! There's a secret passage in my house. Come with me! "
Shen Manjun didn't care about Ye Shiguan's life or death, but she absolutely wouldn't allow Xiao Zheng to die. Looking at the current situation, if Ye Shiguan didn't leave, Xiao Zheng wouldn't leave either. She had no choice but to reveal the secret passage in her house.
Xiao Zheng looked at Ye Shiguan and said in a deep voice, "Are we going or not?"
Hearing this, a strange light jumped in Ye Shiguan's eyes. He slowly raised his head and stared straight at Xiao Zheng. "If you're willing to listen to me, don't believe her."
"Go through the front door. Kill our way out of the door. This is the only way out. "Ye Shiguan said with a complicated expression.
"What do you mean!?" Shen Manjun said excitedly. "You doubt me?"
Xiao Zheng's expression also became extremely strange.
Ye Shiguan smiled faintly, lit another cigarette, and said slowly, "Xiao Zheng, you go. I want to stay and do something. "
Xiao Zheng said in a deep voice, "Do you know something?"
"Xiao Zheng, don't listen to his nonsense!" Shen Manjun said angrily. "I think he's already lost his mind!"
Being doubted by the man she loved the most, any woman would lose control of her emotions.
"Shut up." Xiao Zheng said coldly. He turned his gaze to Ye Shiguan and said with pursed lips. "What's going on?"
Vaguely, Xiao Zheng also seemed to understand something.
"Just like that." Ye Shiguan said with a smile. "You still don't understand?"
Xiao Zheng's body trembled, and his face immediately became gloomy.
"Xiao Zheng, he wants to sow discord!" Shen Manjun said through gritted teeth.
Having said that, she quickly walked toward Xiao Zheng.
"Stay away from me!" Xiao Zheng suddenly turned his head and shouted at Shen Manjun with a cold face.
Shen Manjun's eyes immediately turned red after being shouted at by Xiao Zheng. "Do you think I'll harm you?" She said with a wronged expression.
Ye Shiguan calmly said, "Eldest Miss Zhao, go and invite your father here. The show is about to end. If you don't show up now, you'll miss it. "
Shen Manjun's expression suddenly stiffened, and her legs went soft as if she couldn't stand up.
She was dumbfounded and stared at Ye Shiguan, dumbfounded. "You … what did you say?"
"Who do you think planned all of this?" Ye Shiguan asked back.
"You said it's my father?" Shen Manjun said in disbelief. "Impossible! My father has been in a coma for a month! "
"A person pretending to be asleep can never be woken up." Ye Shiguan said with a smile. "Unless he feels that he doesn't need to continue pretending."
"Beautiful."
Suddenly, a powerful and vigorous voice came from the back hall.
"You've figured it out so quickly. Ye Shiguan, I really underestimated you."
