Chapter 324 Night Attack
Chapter 324 Night Attack
The moonlight was like water, and the mansion seemed particularly desolate at night.
Several dark shadows appeared silently around the house. Like ghosts, they flashed and hid in the corners and seemed to disappear. It was so fast that people almost thought it was an illusion.
Until the footsteps in the house gradually quieted down.
Everyone fell into a deep sleep.
Finally, they moved.
He Jingyao gave a gloomy smile in the darkness.
Originally, he had no plan to come to Yong Dynasty in person, but to be on the safe side, he decided to capture Shen Sui'an in person.
The biggest loss he had ever suffered in his life was caused by Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan's beloved woman fell into his hands, he would be able to vent his anger.
It is not known whether it was out of hatred for Lu Yuan or a dark desire to get Shen Suian, but He Jingyao came to Yong Dynasty again regardless of everything.
He wanted to take Shen Suian to the Southern Dynasty personally.
"Sir, the guards have been taken care of." The subordinate whispered.
He Jingyao sneered. Without Lu Yuan here, no matter how many guards Shen Suian had around him, they would not be a threat to him.
"Kill everyone except Shen Sui'an." He Jingyao ordered.
"Don't worry, sir. This mansion has been surrounded by our people."
"As long as we kidnap the person, our caravan will leave the city tomorrow and bring him back to the Southern Dynasty."
They entered the city disguised as a caravan.
He Jingyao had been regarded as an enemy by the Yong Dynasty because of his assassination attempt on Lu Yuan last time, and he would be arrested as soon as he entered Shangjing City.
The mansion was so quiet that only the rustling of their footsteps could be heard.
The lights on the veranda were dim.
The gatekeeper had drunk some wine and was snoring in the sleep.
He Jingyao found the hospital. There were only a few corner lights flickering in the yard, and not even a maid was in sight.
"Get started." He Jingyao's face looked a little cold under the dim light.
"Who?" A woman exclaimed from inside the room.
It’s Shen Suian’s voice!
He Jingyao's blood was roaring with excitement. A grim smile appeared on his face and he strode into the house.
A hidden arrow flew towards him.
"You used this trick to hurt Qi Zhongbei? Do you think this mere sleeve arrow can hurt me?" He Jingyao sneered and walked towards the figure curled up on the bed step by step.
"Who are you?" Shen Suian asked in panic.
"You bold lunatic, do you know where this place is?"
He Jingyao took the lantern from his men and illuminated the figure of Shen Suian curled up in the corner.
Seeing the fear on her face, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He could imagine how pleasant it would be to hold Shen Suian in his hands and watch Lu Yuan wag his tail in front of him and beg him to let this woman go.
He Jingyao slowly raised his lips, his tone was very gentle, but the words he spoke were very vicious.
"I will take you back to the Southern Dynasty and let everyone know that I have played with you. Then the whole world will know that Lu Yuan is cuckolded..."
"You are He Jingyao, the nephew of Prime Minister He of the Southern Dynasty." Shen Suian narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the other person's identity.
You really are not afraid of death.
He Jingyao: "Beauty, good eyesight."
He walked forward and reached out to grab Shen Suian.
Suddenly, a cold light appeared and a sword shadow flashed by.
He Jingyao's pupils shrank slightly and he dodged quickly. If it was just a little bit more, his arm would have been cut off.
The lights in the house suddenly came on.
"..." The grim smile on He Jingyao's face froze, and he looked at the young man standing beside the bed in disbelief.
"Shen Sui'an, it turns out that you have been cheating on Lu Yuan behind his back for a long time, hahahaha." He Jingyao laughed.
"Thank you, sir. This man is the bandit who previously assassinated an official of the imperial court. Please... execute him on the spot." Shen Sui'an said calmly.
Fuqiu and Ningshuang also walked out from the darkness at this time and stood on Shen Sui'an's left and right.
It was only then that He Jingyao realized that in addition to this unfamiliar man, there were quite a few guards outside the door.
He got caught!
"How did you know I would come to arrest you?" He Jingyao was incredulous. The people he brought were all He family's secret guards and it was impossible for them to betray him.
Shen Sui'an walked down from the bed neatly dressed, without any trace of panic or fear on his face.
"From the day you came into the city, I knew what you wanted to do." Shen Sui'an said lightly.
The person Lu Yuan left for her had become suspicious of He Jingyao's caravan as soon as they appeared, but they were not sure at first. They followed it for two days before they discovered He Jingyao in disguise.
Shen Sui'an has been waiting for him to come.
"Sir Xie, this man attacked the residence of an imperial official at night. He must have intended to steal our dynasty's secrets. We must not leave him alive." Shen Suian turned to Xie Changyu and said.
"Princess Le'an, everyone outside has been killed, and this man can't escape either." Xie Changyu said.
Shen Suian raised his chin and looked at He Jingyao coldly.
He Jingyao was shocked. He brought so many people with him, how could they all be killed?
"Who are you?" He Jingyao stared at Xie Changyu.
Xie Changyu clenched the sword in his hand, "Commander of the Imperial Guard, Xie Changyu."
When He Jingyao heard the other party's identity, he suddenly turned around and ran out. Soon, the sound of fighting was heard outside.
"There is a tight net outside, he can't escape at all." said Xie Changyu.
"Do you really want to kill him?"
Shen Sui'an said coldly, "Can't we kill a thief who sneaked into the official's house?"
Who knew that he was the nephew of Prime Minister He of the Southern Dynasty?
Xie Changyu smiled and said, "It would be useful if he could be saved."
There was a hint of coldness in Shen Sui'an's eyes.
"That's what the emperor meant." Xie Changyu said in a low voice.
He is the commander of the Imperial Guards, and it is impossible that the Emperor was completely unaware of the fact that he brought so many people to ambush here.
Shen Sui'an didn't say anything, but followed him out and saw that He Jingyao had been caught and was still struggling hard.
Without saying a word, she raised her hand and shot out two hidden arrows at the same time.
He Jingyao only felt a piercing pain in his knee.
"Ah!" He looked at Shen Sui'an angrily, "Bitch, you dare to hurt me!"
Shen Sui'an slowly put away his sleeves to cover her wrists, "Thank you, Commander, since the people have been arrested, please take them away and don't dirty my place."
"You have already crippled his legs. Even if he's alive, he won't have an easy life," said Xie Changyu.
"As long as you're alive, you're a hidden danger," said Shen Sui'an.
Only when you die will you be free from worries.
Of course Xie Changyu also wanted to kill He Jingyao, but the emperor wanted to keep him alive.
"Princess Le'an, goodbye." Xie Changyu bowed.
"No one will notice what happens tonight." The Imperial Guards had already cleared the area around them and would not let anyone see He Jingyao enter.
This is also to preserve Shen Sui'an's reputation.
Shen Sui'an gently placed his hand on his lower abdomen, "Thank you, Commander. Thank you very much."
Xie Changyu ordered a retreat and cleaned up all the corpses.
"Have someone clean the yard tomorrow." Shen Sui'an ordered.
"County Lady, the one who came tonight is He Jingyao, and we don't know who will come next time. We can't stay here anymore." Ningshuang said in a low voice.
Shen Sui'an naturally thought of this problem as well.
The Shen family can’t go either, otherwise they will be in danger.
