100 Ebony Sword

A man in black raised his sword and stabbed toward Li Yu. Li Yu blocked the sword with her saber and kicked at the man in black at lightning speed. Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly tightened his hips and clamped his legs. However, he was sent flying by Li Yu’s kick and collided with the few men in black who were besieging the youth. Li Yu spun on the spot and cut off one of their arms with her saber. A dart shot toward Li Yu. Li Yu raised her saber to block the dart. The man in black behind him stabbed Li Yu’s arm with his sword. Li Yu turned her toe and cut his throat with a backhand slash. Dark red blood sprayed out.

Li Yu barged into the encirclement of the men in black and fought with the guards. A man in black killed a guard and slashed at the youth’s head. Li Yu blocked it with her saber and slit the attacker’s neck. The tall youth and the two guards retreated and protected the young master with Li Yu.

The sound of urgent running filled the street. The tall youth smiled comfortably. “Young Master, reinforcements are here.”

The young master nodded and the men in black began to fight to the death. Li Yu’s shoulders and arms were injured, and more guards rushed up. The youth’s side became more numerous. A man in black was surrounded and beaten up by five or six guards. Soon, the men in black were quickly surrounded!

“Xiaoyu!” “Sister!” Zhou Jia and Li Qing shouted anxiously and ran towards Li Yu. Before they could get close, they were stopped by the guards. The youth shouted at the guards, “Let them come over.”

The guard let the two of them through. When the officers and soldiers controlled the street and she saw that the Young Master was safe, Li Yu smiled at him. “You’re safe now. My family is still waiting for me. I hope that the next time I see you, it won’t be so thrilling.”

The young man smiled bitterly. “I’ve let you suffer. Your family is already coming this way. You’re still bleeding. Please follow me back to the residence and let the physician take a look at you.”

“No need. I have medicine at home.” Li Yu waved her hand and walked toward Zhou Jia and the others.

“Sister.” Li Qing and Laidi pounced on Li Yu’s side. Seeing Li Yu’s injuries, they cried. Zhou Jia took the long saber from Li Yu’s hand with trembling hands and asked in a hoarse voice, “How are you? Are you alright?”

Li Yu raised her hand and smiled. “It’s nothing serious. I was stabbed in a few places.”

Liu Changmin kept muttering, “Does it hurt? You’re too bold. How painful is it to lose so much blood?”

The few of them argued as they protected Li Yu and walked home.

The youth was escorted back to the general’s residence by the guards. The tall youth bowed to Shen Yu and reported, “General, it’s all thanks to that girl in the forest today. Otherwise, they would have succeeded today.”

“Yuhao, you should make up your mind. You shouldn’t have any good intentions anymore,” Shen Yu said bitterly. “Have you thought about it? That vicious woman actually dared to send someone to Tongzhou to kill you. With your status, once you don’t ascend to that position, your mother, the Shen family behind you, Shen Zhong, their families, and the other nobles and ministers who support you will all die.”

Yu Hao lowered his head and was silent for a moment. Then, he raised his head and said proudly, “Let’s go. Shen Zhong, send a message to my mother!”

“Yes, Master.” Shen Zhong agreed excitedly and bowed to leave.

Shen Yu looked at Yu Hao and smiled in relief. He clapped his hands excitedly. “I’ll get someone to send the news out to cooperate with your people.”

After Shen Yu made the arrangements, he asked, “Yuhao, do you need someone to send a thank-you gift to Scholar Zhou and that girl?”

“No need. If those people find out, they will be killed.” Yu Hao didn’t want that girl and those people to be implicated.

Shen Yu looked at Yu Hao and nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

Zhou Jia escorted Li Yu back to Osmanthus Lane and took out some strong wine to wash Li Yu’s wound. Seeing Li Yu grimace in pain, his heart ached as he blew on Li Yu’s wound. “Let’s see if you’ll still be so rash next time.”

Seeing Zhou Jia’s heartache, Li Yu smiled lovingly. “I just feel that everyone knows him. He’s still so young. We only went to help because we were helped by them.”

Li Mei and Zhaodi were woken up by Laidi to tell them what had happened when they were observing the lights. Li Mei looked at Laidi and said, “Looks like this city isn’t as quiet as our countryside. Let’s see if you dare to come again in the future. Are your cousins alright?”

Laidi glanced at Li Mei. “Cousin went to help and was stabbed.” Li Mei glared at Laidi in shock. “Child, why didn’t you say so?”

As she spoke, she hurriedly got out of bed and walked out. When she reached the central room, she saw the sword wound on Li Yu’s arm. She shook her head and complained, “Child, you’re not allowed to be so rash in the future. We can’t afford to provoke those people.”

Li Qing added fuel to the fire. “That’s right. There were so many people in black surrounding him. It’s that young master from the forest again. How dangerous!”

Li Yu glared at Li Qing and said, “Brat, you’ve become bolder!”

Li Qing’s eyes turned red. “I’m afraid. There were so many people. What if…”

Li Mei hurriedly covered Li Qing’s mouth. “Tsk, tsk, tsk! There’s no what if. Your parents are protecting us!”

Seeing their actions, Li Yu was both amused and touched. “I’ll remember. It won’t happen again.”

Zhou Jia saw that Li Yu’s face was a little pale and asked her to wipe her face with hot water. “Go and rest. I’ll get the kitchen maid to stew some nourishing food for you.”

Li Yu also felt a little dizzy. She nodded and walked into the room. After lying down, she fell asleep.

After the kitchen maid made the nourishing soup, Li Mei carried it into the house to wake Li Yu up. Seeing her in a daze, she fed her and watched as she closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

The next morning, Shen Wu found Osmanthus Lane and handed a small ebony sword to Zhou Jia. He said to Zhou Jia, “Mr. Zhou, Young Master asked me to tell you that he can’t thank you enough. This small sword was given to him by his mother as a token. In the future, if you encounter any problems that you can’t resolve, you can use this to look for the shopkeeper at the Four Seas Bank. We will definitely help.”

Zhou Jia bowed and took the small sword. He bowed and thanked, “Thank you, Little General.”

Shen Wu took out another medicine jar and handed it to Zhou Jia. “This is the Golden Creation Medicine that General Shen asked me to give to Miss Li.”

After Zhou Jia took it, Shen Wu cupped his fists at Zhou Jia. “Mr. Zhou, please thank Miss Li on our behalf. I’ll take my leave.”

Zhou Jia walked Shen Wu back to the inner courtyard. Seeing Li Mei, Li Qing, and the others sitting at the door, he looked at Li Yu’s room worriedly and frowned. “Is Xiaoyu still not awake?”

Li Qing nodded sadly. “She’s still asleep! Aunt went in to see if she had a fever. She’s just sleeping soundly.”

“I’ll go in and take her pulse.” Zhou Jia and Li Mei entered the room. Li Yu was sleeping soundly and breathing evenly; she didn’t seem to be in trouble. He sat gently by the bed and picked up Li Yu’s hand to take her pulse. Only then did he relax and walk out of the house with Li Mei. He said to them, “She’s fine. Perhaps she’s too tired and her wound is bleeding a little too much. Sleeping is also a kind of repair. She’ll be fine when she wakes up.”
