Chapter 216: Injured

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At this moment, an employee ran over and dragged the drunkard away. At the same time, he apologized to Yu Yunxi profusely.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“Get lost! Don’t disturb me when I’m talking to a beautiful woman,” the drunkard said. He forcefully pushed the employee away and prepared to pounce at Yu Yunxi again.

The people from the Prince Regent’s Residence and the King of Xinan’s Residence watched this, and all of them looked as though they were about to kill the drunkard.

“Hey, sober up! This isn’t the tavern you frequent. This is an inn. If you cause trouble again, we’ll have to chase you out.”

“Chase me out? I gave you money. How dare you chase me out?” the drunkard said indignantly.

“Who’s he?” Yu Yunxi asked the employee in a low voice.

“He’s from a nearby village. He’s addicted to drinking and gambling. His wife has already run away with another man due to his indecent behavior. As soon as he has money, he spends it all on drinks and gambling. I’m sorry about this.” After that, the employee quickly asked someone to drag the drunkard away.

Yu Yunxi looked at the entrance coldly. After a while, she quickly hid the cold expression on her face and went upstairs.

Late at night.

Yu Yunxi was woken up by a commotion.

Feng Yili entered the room and said, “As expected, the assassins are here. Wait here. I’m going to have a look.”

“Alright. Be careful.”

Since the little bun was here, Yu Yunxi could not follow Feng Yili. After Feng Yili left with his sword, she got up to close the window.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside. It was raining heavily, and the wind had blown the window open.

Just as Yu Yunxi was about to close the window, a sword suddenly flew in from outside. If it were not for her quick reaction, her head would have been chopped off. Following that, as though the room had been triggered by some mechanism, countless arrows shot out from the wall.

“Junjin, get up!” Yu Yunxi called out grimly.

The little bun, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, instantly jolted awake and jumped up.

Yu Yunxi rushed over and used the blanket as a weapon to deflect the arrows that were shooting at them. She asked worriedly, “Junjin, are you alright?” “Don’t worry, Mother. I’m fine,” the little bun said as he patted his chest.

In just a moment, about a dozen assassins rushed in from the window. Their gazes were vicious and murderous.

Yu Yunxi smiled mockingly as she murmured, “As expected, they came for me.”

The purpose of the assassins downstairs was likely to distract the secret guards while the real assassins were standing in front of her.

Yu Yunxi said seriously, “Junjin, wait for the right time and run down to find your father.”

“Mother…” the little bun called out worriedly.

“Be good, and listen to me.”

“Both of you will die today,” the leader of the men in black said in a hoarse voice.

Yu Yunxi held the little bun’s hand tightly as she looked at the man with a sharp gaze.

“Feng Yili has been held up by our people. No one can save you now. You must die today,” the man continued to say.

“Why did you come for me?” Yu Yunxi asked icily.

“You’re about to die. There are some secrets that you’re better off not knowing,” the man said with a sneer. It was obvious he did not plan to tell Yu Yunxi anything.

“Very well. It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about that. However, you should at least tell me one thing… Are you the drunkard of the employee from earlier?”

The man narrowed his eyes upon hearing these words. Obviously, she had guessed correctly. He asked murderously, “How did you know?”

“When the drunkard was accosting me, I smelled the strong stench of alcohol on him. However, it was clear that the smell of alcohol came from his clothes. How could a person who loved drinking be willing to waste so much alcohol and spill it on his clothes? As for the employee, he was very knowledgeable about the drunkard’s background. Based on this, if there’s a problem with the drunkard, then there’s definitely a problem with the employee as well…” Yu Yunxi said calmly.

The man in black started clapping and laughing before he said disdainfully, “As expected of the female general of Xinan. But what’s the use of knowing those things? So what if you knew I was testing the water earlier? You’re still in trouble now…”

“In trouble? That might not be the case,” Yu Yunxi said stonily. Following that,

a silver needle suddenly shot out from her hand.

“Be careful…

The men in black quickly retreated.

Yu Yunxi pulled out her sword from under the bed and fought with the men.

A few men turned their attention to the little bun. Although the little bun’s martial arts were not as good as theirs, he was more agile than them. He kept evading the men, toying with them.

As Yu Yunxi fought, she released the poison she kept with her. In just a moment, the men who were the closest to her were poisoned. In the end, they were forced to retreat.

“Activate the mechanism!” the leader of the men ordered. He was clearly angered by Yu Yunxi’s action. Since he was not sure if Yu Yunxi still had any poison on her, they could not attack rashly.

“Mechanism? As expected, the inn is under your control,” Yu Yunxi said with a sneer.

“Die.

The man activated the mechanism, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement at all.

‘What’s going on?’

“Since I noticed there was something earlier, how could I not take any precautions?” Yu Yunxi asked contemptuously. As she spoke, she walked to the bedside and tugged on a rope. In just a moment, the traps in the room were activated. However, they were now aimed at the assassins.

“Brother, watch out!”

The assassins frantically dodged the attacks.

Yu Yunxi and the little bun stood by the bed and watched coldly.

‘If you sin, you’ll have to die…’

At this moment, Feng Yili and the others arrived.

“Retreat!” the man ordered seeing the unfavorable situation.

However, how could Feng Yili let them leave so easily? The two sides began to exchange blows. Each move was lethal.

“Junjin, it’s not safe here. I’ll bring you out.”

Seeing that Feng Yili had the situation under control, Yu Yunxi felt at ease bringing the little bun away. However, just as she was about to cross the threshold, a man suddenly launched a sneak attack.

It was too late to react when Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili finally noticed this. Yu Yunxi could only turn her body, hoping to shield the little bun from the attack with her own body.

However, at this moment, another figure was faster than Yu Yunxi.

Gao Shixuan stood in between the assassin and the pair of mother and son as the dart pierced her. “Little Junior Sister!”
