Outside the window, Song Qingshu couldn't help but sigh. He was black-bellied enough, but compared to these real politicians, he paled in comparison. These people were black-hearted and didn't care about a person's life at all.
"Am I going to die?" At this moment, Shen Bijun's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion. No matter how calm she was, she was still just a teenage girl. She had always been a flower in a greenhouse, and now that she was suddenly faced with death, she felt a sense of loss and unwillingness. She thought that she would die before she could avenge her parents, and a strong desire to live arose in her heart. Unfortunately, although she didn't know martial arts, she could see that the person in front of her was very skilled. It was not someone she could fight against.
"Who can save me …" She wanted to shout for help, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out. The intense nervousness made her lose her voice.
Just as Xue Yiren was about to draw his sword, there was suddenly a knock on the door. "Miss Shen, Miss Shen?" He couldn't help but frown, and the sword in his hand subconsciously stopped.
Shen Bijun could tell that it was Zhao Weiyi's voice. Although she had always hated him because he was Yelu Yixin's confidant, his voice was like the sound of nature at this time.
"Who is outside?" Xue Yiren asked in a low voice. After all, he was in the Wei Palace, so he didn't dare to be careless.
"It's Yelu Yixin's subordinate." Shen Bijun had just recovered from the shock, and her voice was trembling.
"Miss Shen, Sir asked me to ask you some questions. Can I come in?" The voice outside sounded again.
Xue Yiren frowned. According to his character, he would kill them all with a sword, but he had come with a mission this time. He wondered if this person was here to ask about the whereabouts of the deer-cutting knife, so he lowered his voice and said to Shen Bijun, "Act according to the situation later. Don't reveal that I am here, or else …" He didn't finish his sentence, and just held the sword against the back of her waist. Although they were separated by clothes, the coldness from the sword had already caused a layer of goosebumps to appear on Shen Bijun's skin.
After threatening her, Xue Yiren flashed behind the screen. At this time, Song Qingshu had already opened the door.
If he had pushed open the door without permission on any other day, Shen Bijun would have scolded him. But today, she was so excited that she wanted to cry. She wanted to take this opportunity to leave, but a terrifying aura locked onto her. Although she didn't know martial arts, she knew that if she moved, she would be killed on the spot.
She had no choice but to continue sitting in the chair in front of the screen. She gave Zhao Weiyi a look and said, "What do you want?"
Seeing that Eldest Miss Shen, who usually paid great attention to her bearing, was blinking so much that sparks were almost flying out of her eyes, Song QingShu secretly laughed and pretended to be at a loss. "Are your eyes cramping? Why do you keep blinking?
Shen Bijun, who was usually well-mannered, wanted to curse at him. What kind of stupid teammate was this? This person in front of her was the perfect example. She was just about to say something when she felt the killing intent behind her increase. It was clearly a warning.
"It's mainly because I forgot what you taught me two days ago, so I came to ask you." Song Qingshu knew that he had teased her enough and was worried that things would get out of hand.
"It's mainly because I forgot what Miss taught me two days ago, so I came to ask Miss again." Song QingShu knew that he had teased enough and was worried that he would get angry if he continued.
But she was smart. When she saw Zhao Weiyi blink, she quickly realized that he was probably using this as an excuse to save her. However, she was also considered smart. When she saw Zhao Weiyi blink quietly, she quickly realized that he was probably using this as an excuse to save her.
"What did you forget?" Shen Bijun suppressed the joy in her heart and asked calmly.
Song Qingshu smiled and quickly said in the Shanyin language, "Miss Shen, I have already informed the guards in the residence. We will temporarily stabilize the person behind you." The south was different from the north. The southern language could be separated by a mountain or a river, not to mention that the Shanyin language was notoriously difficult to understand. Although Xue Yiren was also a southerner, there was a high chance that he wouldn't understand.
Sure enough, Xue Yiren didn't move after hearing his words. Obviously, he had made the right bet.
Shen Bijun was stunned at first, then she was pleasantly surprised. She also replied in the Shanyin language, "How did you know that something happened to me?" At the same time, she realized that she had misunderstood him in the past. He could communicate with her fluently in the Shanyin language, so it was obvious that her previous difficulties did not affect him. He claimed that he had learned most of the knowledge that she had taught him and was not trying to show off.
"I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and saw him by the window. I was worried that he would harm you, so I secretly followed him." Song Qingshu's answer was reasonable and did not arouse her suspicion at all.
"It's all thanks to you today." Shen Bijun was so touched that she wanted to cry, especially since he had helped her despite what she had done to him previously. She had seen too many evil people these days. Even Xue Yiren, who was supposed to be on her side, wanted to kill her, which made her feel a little hopeless about the world. Suddenly meeting a "good person" like Zhao Weiyi made her feel extremely touched.
Song Qingshu was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Shen Bijun's hand and ran out. At the same time, the screen exploded, and a snow-white light lit up the room. Xue Yiren pulled Shen Bijun away by himself. The sword had already taken their lives.
It turned out that although Xue Yiren didn't understand the Shanyin language, he was not stupid. Seeing that the two of them were communicating quickly, he knew that they were most likely talking about him, so he simply stabbed them with his sword. He would kill Shen Bijun first to prevent the royal family from being humiliated. He would find Yelu Yixin to verify the matter of the deer-cutting knife. As for the man who had come in, he had no interest in understanding him. So what if he killed him?
Shen Bijun blushed when an unfamiliar man suddenly grabbed her hand. The restraint she had developed over ten years made her extremely angry. Just as she was about to scold him, she suddenly realized something and looked back. She saw Xue Yiren stab out with his sword. The chair she had been sitting on was instantly torn to pieces by the sword energy. If she had been there, it was obvious what would have happened. She had just recovered from the shock and didn't have the time to scold him.
Xue Yiren was startled. He clearly hadn't expected the other to react so quickly and pull Shen Bijun away, causing his sword to miss. However, he wasn't in a hurry, because he wouldn't give the two of them any chance for the next attack.
Unfortunately, things didn't go according to his wishes. At this time, a dozen or so guards from the Wei Manor rushed in. It turned out that before Song Qingshu had come in, he had used a thousand-mile sound transmission technique to notify the guards closest to him. At first, they thought it was an auditory hallucination, but since this was related to Shen Bijun, they didn't dare to be negligent and still sent some people over.
They just happened to see Xue Yiren attack Shen Bijun. The group of people didn't dare to hesitate. As they shouted, they pulled out their swords and charged forward.
Shen Bijun recognized a few of them as the people who had kidnapped her in Jiangnan. These people's martial arts were very high, and the Shen Family's guards could be considered elites. Even with the escort army sent by the government, they were not a match for these people. In just a few rounds, they had been completely slaughtered. Even the servant girl accompanying them had been killed with a single slash. At the time, she had hated these people, but now she had no choice but to rely on them to save her life. She hoped that their martial arts were as high as possible.
"They should be able to delay the person behind us." Shen Bijun still hadn't woken up from this absurd feeling when she suddenly saw a snowy light flash in front of her. At this moment, it was as if the moon in the sky had lost its color. She couldn't help but close her eyes. When she opened them again, the dozen or so experts who had been full of life seemed to have suddenly stopped moving.
Shen Bijun was startled, but the next scene caused her body to go weak. A bloody mark had appeared on the necks of those experts, and then blood sprayed out, forming a bloody rain that dyed Xue Yiren's body red. Song Qingshu had never agreed with this kind of violent aesthetic. Killing people was killing people, but why did they have to be covered in blood? If this wasn't a pervert, then what was?
"Blood-robed … man!" The guard with the highest martial arts barely had a breath left, but after barely managing to shout out a name, he died.
"Blood-robed man?" Shen Bijun's hands and feet went cold. Although she was a young miss, Xue Yiren's status in the Southern Song Dynasty was extraordinary. It could be said that he was a legend in the army. Even she had heard of his name, and the elders in her family had boasted that he was invincible.
In addition, she was close friends with the Seventh Miss of the Lu Clan, Lu Wushuang. She knew that Lu Wushuang used to be a member of the Jianghu. Out of curiosity, she had once asked Lu Wushuang how Xue Yiren compared to the experts of the Jianghu. Lu Wushuang had told her that Xue Yiren would be a peak expert in the Jianghu, and that there would be no more than five people who could defeat him. Then Lu Wushuang had proudly boasted that Song Qingshu was one of them.
Seeing Lu Wushuang's exultant expression, Shen Bijun thought that it was just a young girl admiring her lover and didn't take it to heart. However, Xue Yiren's strength was deeply imprinted in her mind. She hadn't expected that one day she would have to face the blade of this invincible swordsman.
"I knew that you guys wouldn't be able to stop Xue Yiren, but you shouldn't be this useless, right?" While Shen Bijun was shocked, Song Qingshu was also extremely depressed. He hadn't expected these guards to be able to defeat Xue Yiren, but he thought that they could at least stop him for a while. Using that bit of time, he and Shen Bijun could escape to another part of the Wei Manor and wait for the Wei Manor's defense forces to come out and deal with Xue Yiren.
Who would have thought that Xue Yiren's [Unity of Man and Sword] would be so powerful? More than a dozen guards with decent skills were instantly killed by him. Now, the defense of the Wei Residence had not even reacted yet, and Xue Yiren was going to use his third strike. Was he going to expose his martial arts? Then wouldn't all the effort he had put in to infiltrate this place be for naught?
Song Qingshu was in a dilemma when he suddenly had a thought and looked towards the wall at the side. Xue Yiren seemed to have sensed something as well and raised his head to look in the same direction. Under the moonlight, he saw a young man dressed in white standing there like an immortal. The silver mask on his face made him look even more mysterious.
"Song Qingshu?" Xue Yiren frowned and said in a low voice.
