The servant entered the residence to inform them and quickly came out.
"Please come in, my master is waiting for you in the hall."
He then led Ji Yunshu and Jing Rong into the residence.
The Wen residence was different from the Su residence. It was heavily guarded and filled with a strong murderous aura. In comparison, the Su residence was too secluded and leisurely.
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they felt a murderous aura gradually approaching them.
Jing Rong's sharp eyebrows tightened. His sharp eyes quickly scanned the surroundings and subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
Suddenly …
He felt a chill behind him. The silver light of his weapon suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Be careful!"
He grabbed Ji Yunshu's hand and protected her behind him. At the same time, he turned around and pulled out his sword to deflect the incoming sword.
Due to the excessive force, the person's hand that was holding the sword suddenly became numb. His whole body was forced back a few steps due to the force. His feet slid on the snow, leaving two marks on the ground …
Wen Yu!
Wen Yu's face was full of murderous intent. Blue veins popped on his forehead. His sharp gaze fell on the half-masked Jing Rong. "That time in Nansai Desert, I almost died under your sword. Today, you actually delivered yourself to my door. I will make you pay with your blood!"
Jing Rong had no intention of fighting with him. He coldly said, "Second Young Master Wen, that time was a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? You repeatedly tried to kill me, but now you say it was a misunderstanding? Today, I will take your life. "
"I will say it again. The one who wanted to kill you in Nansai Desert was not me."
Wen Yu snorted. "Even if you turn into ashes, I will still recognize you!"
Just as he was about to make a move, Ji Yunshu stepped forward and stood between them. She advised, "Young Master Wen, don't be impulsive."
"Miss Ji?"
"Today, we came to your residence to explain what happened that time."
Wen Yu looked at Ji Yunshu in astonishment. The hostility on his body lessened a bit. He asked, "Miss Ji, didn't you already leave Yan Jing?"
"During this period, I have always been in Yan Jing."
"Then why are you … with this person? Did you forget that he almost took your life at Nansai Inn? "
At that time, she was the one who took the initiative to let Jing Rong kidnap her.
Of course not!
Ji Yunshu tried to say something, but Wen Yu's mind was filled with vengeance. She glared at Jing Rong with a cold and sinister smile. "Since you entered my Wen residence, don't even think about leaving alive."
As soon as he finished speaking, he passed by Ji Yunshu and raised his sword to stab Jing Rong.
In order not to accidentally injure Ji Yunshu, Jing Rong had no choice but to receive a few blows from Ji Yunshu.
Instantly, the courtyard was filled with the sound of weapons clashing.
It was extremely ear-piercing.
Wen Yu wanted Jing Rong's life, so every strike was ruthless and left no room for leeway.
Jing Rong defended with every move.
After a dozen or so moves, they were still fighting back and forth.
No one gained the upper hand.
Because the commotion was too loud, it attracted the attention of the Wen residence's imperial guards. The imperial guards rushed out and surrounded the courtyard. Just as they were about to capture Jing Rong, they suddenly heard a shout.
"Stop!"
Hearing this, the guards spread out and cleared a path.
Old General Wen and Wen Che hurried over with grim expressions.
"Ah Yu, stop!" Old General Wen shouted again.
However, Wen Yu's eyes were bloodshot and she did not listen at all.
She only wanted revenge!
Seeing this, Wen Che unsheathed the sword of an imperial guard beside him. Then, he blocked Wen Yu's sword that was about to stab Jing Rong.
Wen Che took the opportunity to stand between the two.
"Big Brother, get out of the way! He was the one who chased after me at the Southern Fortress! "Wen Yu tried to fight again, but Wen Che was between them.
When Wen Che heard that the masked man in front of him was the one who chased after Wen Yu, a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.
He sized up the newcomer from head to toe.
Ji Yunshu hurriedly went to Jing Rong's side and worriedly asked, "Are you injured?"
Jing Rong sheathed his sword and said, "He can't hurt me!"
Indeed!
With Wen Yu's martial arts, she couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
Wen Che was surprised. "Miss Ji, why are you here?" Then, he immediately realized something. "You and this person …"
Ji Yunshu didn't wait for him to finish and said, "General Wen, this is a long story. There is a big misunderstanding."
"What do you mean?"
Ji Yunshu turned around and looked at the solemn Old General Wen. She bowed and said, "Old General Wen, I came uninvited today because I have something to tell you. I hope you can give us some time."
Old General Wen looked at the extraordinary and beautiful woman in front of him. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you the Miss Ji who saved my son at the Southern Fortress?"
"Yes."
"This old man has heard a little about you and has been looking for an opportunity to thank you in person."
"I don't dare."
"Miss is my Wen family's benefactor. This old man will treat you as a distinguished guest."
Wen Yu was still angry. She stepped forward and said, "Father, he was the one who chased us that day. No matter what, we can't let him go." She pointed at Jing Rong.
Old General Wen immediately scolded, "Impudent!"
"Father?"
Old General Wen ignored him. Ji Yunshu said, "Since Miss Ji said that there is a misunderstanding, then please enter the hall with the young master next to you."
Ji Yunshu lowered her eyes. "Okay."
She and Jing Rong followed Old General Wen into the hall.
Wen Yu was unwilling. She raised her sword a few inches, but Wen Che immediately stopped her. He reminded her in a low voice, "Father is here. Don't cause trouble!"
"Big Brother, why are you also …"
"Let's wait and see." Wen Che also entered the hall.
Wen Yu could only restrain her anger. She threw her sword to the guard next to her and followed him.
In the hall, Old General Wen ordered people to serve tea.
It was cold outside. The wind and snow were getting stronger. A heater was turned on in the hall, sweeping away the chill.
When the tea entered her throat …
Wen Che was the first to speak. "Miss Ji, what happened in the end?"
Ji Yunshu didn't speak and only looked at Jing Rong. Jing Rong understood her meaning. He coldly looked at Wen Yu and said, "If I'm not wrong, Young Master Wen should already know that I went to the Southern Fortress under General Su's orders. My goal wasn't to kill you, but to prevent you from going to Lingtang County to retrieve King Jing 'an's body.
The Emperor will punish the Wen Family if you bear the crime of negligence! I didn't expect that there was another group of people who entered the Southern Fortress Desert with us. They were the ones who wanted to kill you! They were also the ones who tried to assassinate you on the ship. "
"Where's the evidence?" "At that time in the Southern Fortress, I had already lost many soldiers. I was the only one left alive. I had no choice but to rush back to Yan Capital. I didn't have time to go to the ship to assassinate you. As for the grudge between the Wen and Su families? That's why General Su sent me to secretly stop you.
I'm sure you know this better than I do. "
Wen Yu waved her hand. "Impossible!"
"There is not a single lie in what I have said."
Wen Che frowned when he heard this. "But … why should we believe you?" Ji Yunshu suddenly said, "Because this concerns the life and death of the Wen and Su families."
