Chapter 16 The Treacherous Assassin Attacks Again

Su Chan left.

Maybe it was the previous battle that made him realize something, or maybe it was the assassination just now that made him a little distracted.When he left, he frowned tightly, his expression very dignified.

Presumably based on General Guangchuan's doting on Su Can, they should go north to the capital soon.

"Then should I leave too?"

After all, according to the original plot, the rest of the story takes place in the capital. Apart from the clueless side mission, there is nothing worth nostalgic about here!
Zhang Ye touched his smooth chin, staring at the clouds in the sky in a daze.

"Aji, what are you thinking?"

The unique tone came from behind, and you didn't need to look at Zhang to know that it was Xiaojiao Wenyu.

"I heard that Miss Rushuang left?" Zhang Ye asked without looking back.

Wen Yu's small face instantly dimmed, "That's right... Mama Yang said that Sister Shuang was originally a cameo, so you can leave whenever you want...By the way, Aji, what do you mean by 'guest appearance'?"

Zhang also didn't know when the word "guest star" appeared, but when he thought of Rushuang's original identity, Zhang pondered for a while and explained: "Mother Yang means that your elder sister Shuang is not our Yihong. The girl in the courtyard occasionally plays such a role."

"Oh..." Wen Yu blinked, obviously not understanding.

Zhang also didn't explain too much.

Thinking of the side mission of investigating Wen Yu's life experience that he had inexplicably received, Zhang felt a little speechless.

If you want to continue to perform this side mission, wouldn't you have to stay in Guangchuan for at least two days?Although there should be no big difference between leaving two days later and leaving now, in terms of the main plot, but... I just suffered an assassination not long ago!
Today's Yihong Courtyard is a place of right and wrong for me, so I can't stay for a long time.

But after thinking about it, the rewards of side missions seem to be quite rich, so it would be a pity to miss them like this?

"Is this the so-called 'seeking wealth and wealth'?" Zhang couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Stinky Aji, what are you mumbling about?" Wen Yu muttered with a small mouth, looking a little ugly.

Zhang also turned to look at Wen Yu, and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Wen Yu, have you never left Yihong Courtyard since you were a child?"

"No!" Wen Yu shook her head.

Zhang Ye's expression was shocked, and he quickly asked, "Then where have you been?"

"Well... I've been to Caishikou on the west side, and I've bought candied haws, wonton noodles, beef offal noodles, and barbecued pork buns there..."

Seeing Wen Yu solemnly counting the delicacies she bought with her fingers, Zhang couldn't help but support his forehead speechlessly.

sloppy...

"By the way, did you come to see me for something?"

After enduring it for half a minute, Zhang Ye finally interrupted Xiaojiali helplessly.

Wen Yu was taken aback, and then said "Oops", and said, "I forgot about it! It's Mama Yang who seems to be looking for you."

Mama Yang?
Zhang Ye's eyes lit up.

yes!Last night, I guessed that Mama Yang might know Xiaojiali's life experience, but it was only at night... Yihong Courtyard's business was very good, so the timing was wrong... But now it's almost noon, there are not many guests in the building, so it's a good time .

Thinking of this, Zhang also stretched out his hand to touch Xiaojiali's head, and said with a smile: "I'll go to find Mama Yang first, and I'll come to play with you later."

Wen Yu pouted and knocked off Zhang Ye's salty pig's claw, muttering twice in dissatisfaction.

Zhang Ye smiled and waved away.

After turning a corner and losing sight of Wen Yu, Zhang Ye stretched out his right hand to look with a strange expression, and muttered in a low voice, "Why do I like to touch that little girl's head so much? Could it be that I have some strange habit..."

At this time, there was a faint fragrance mixed with a strong smell of alcohol, and a woman in yellow clothes who was scantily dressed in front seemed to be drunk, and was about to fall towards Zhang Ye after stumbling.

Zhang Ye frowned, and said in his heart: Drinking like this in broad daylight, you really deserve to be a brothel girl...

Thinking of this, Zhang also subconsciously stretched out his hand to help the other party.

Seeing that the woman in yellow was about to fall into his arms, Zhang Ye suddenly stood on his head, and a dangerous intuition made him freeze when he stretched out his hand.

"Om-"

A cold light flashed, and Zhang Ye only felt a chill on his chest.Looking at it again, how can the woman in yellow be half drunk?
"Humph!"

The woman in yellow snorted coldly, turned her head and jumped, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

If one blow fails, flee away immediately.

This is a standard assassin!

Zhang Ye lowered his head to look, and saw that the new jacket he had just changed from the last assassination had been cut with a long cut, and there was also a shallow mark on the skin on his chest.

Cold sweat suddenly flowed down.

If Zhang Ye hadn't activated the "Innate Stellar Qi" body protection immediately after feeling something was wrong, he would have been a corpse at this moment!
Is the woman in yellow who assassinated him just now the same person who assassinated him earlier?

If so, it proves that you have become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of some people, and you must get rid of it quickly.If not... then the problem would become more complicated...

"Who is it... who wants to order people to assassinate me over and over again?" Zhang couldn't help but frown.

This time the other party can pretend to be a girl from Yihong Courtyard to approach him, and next time he can still pretend to be a passerby, a friend, or even...

After what happened just now, Zhang Ye already had a very bad premonition in his heart.

In the original plot of "Wu", there was no such surreptitious assassin, and it should have appeared with my arrival.

So who is the only person that I can possibly affect after I come into this world?Who is the biggest beneficiary after my death?Who is the person who has had conflicts with me so far?
The answer seems to be on the horizon.

But... since he wanted to get rid of me, why did he help me in the first place?Is it just to gain my trust?That price must be a bit high, right?And after this series of "coquettish operations", my suspicion of him has reached the peak, okay?Unless he can die for me, how else do you want to clean up?

Zhang Ye was very puzzled.

"Hey, why are your clothes like this? Is your face so ugly?"

Mama Yang's voice came from the front, interrupting Zhang Ye's thoughts.

"Sister Yang." Zhang Ye hurriedly put on a smile.

"I said, even in our Yihong Courtyard, your kid's attire is a bit too much, right?"

Mother Yang frowned, but she reached out and touched Zhang Ye's forehead.

A warm current surged through Zhang Ye's heart in an instant, but the next moment he felt the deep malice in this world.

"Hmm... I don't have a fever... I guess I'm crazy..."

"call--"

Zhang also took a step back without any trace, then let out a breath, and then said, "Sister Yang, do you need me?"

"There is indeed something."

"Coincidentally! I also have something to look for my sister." Zhang Ye grinned.

"Oh?" Mother Yang's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Tell me."

"Sister, do you know the identity of Miss Rushuang?" Zhang Ye asked with a smile.

Mother Yang's complexion changed slightly, and then she put on her trademark smile and said, "What are you talking about? Rushuang is just a cameo for one night, so how do I know my background?"

Zhang Ye shook his head with a smile, and continued: "You should know Wen Yu's identity, right?"

Mother Yang laughed angrily when she heard the words, and said: "I said you are deliberately angry with me, right? I picked up the little girl Wen Yu, so how can she have any identity? If you want to talk about identity, she is also a girl from our Yihong Academy!"

"Oh, the girl from Yihongyuan..." Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "Then why doesn't my sister let her pick up the guests?"

Mother Yang chuckled, and said: "Not to mention that she is still young, the guests may not like it. Just because of her stupid appearance, no one would bid for a night of money!"

Zhang also frowned.

From the point of view of the speaker of Yihong Academy, there seems to be no problem with Yang's mother's statement, but...

"Whether Wen Yu is stupid or not, I have reservations, but since you are willing to take her in and raise her to such an age, Mama Yang, don't you plan to ask her to do something to repay you? Don't say anything about being kind." Wang Bao, I don't believe it." Zhang Ye grinned.

Mother Yang also grinned and said, "Believe it or not."

Wang Defa... actually borrowed the slope to get off the donkey?
"Ahem...Even if you don't talk about it, you said that you picked Wen Yu before, where did you pick it up?" Zhang also continued to ask.

"Oh hehe..." Mother Yang covered her mouth with an exaggerated smile, and said slowly, "It's at the back door! Oh, let me think about it... It was the winter solstice, and the sky was snowing like goose feathers. I don't know which pair of cruel fathers Mother, you actually abandoned such a small guy at the back door of our Yihong Courtyard."

As she spoke, Mama Yang compared the sizes with her hands.

Maggill, you lied to a ghost!
Goose-feather-like snow in Guangchuan?My classmates from Guangchuan in my previous life said that I have never seen snow since I was a child!

With Mama Yang's shrewdness, it should be easy to tell a lie with no loopholes. After all... ahem, but the other party's lies are so refreshing and unconventional, presumably it's intentional.

"Sister Yang, I really want to ask about the little girl's life experience, so stop fooling me." Zhang Ye smiled wryly.

"Hmph!" Mother Yang snorted coldly, and said, "I would like to ask you what you said, why are you so concerned about our Wen Yu's life experience? Who are you? Or are you... human mind?"

After saying the last sentence, Mother Yang's complexion has become extremely ugly.

Zhang Ye was a little helpless.

This mother Yang is really worthy of being in the brothel for many years, it is really troublesome to deal with it.But I can't casually talk about the mission, can I?Not to mention whether the other party believes it or not, if you can't be regarded as a lunatic, you have to burn the incense...

But after thinking about it, it's really inappropriate for me to keep asking about the life experience of a girl I've only been with for two or three days...

Maggill... This damn side mission... Is there no other way than to ask Mama Yang?
Zhang Ye gritted his teeth bitterly and made a final resistance.

"Sister Yang, you have been keeping Wen Yu's background secret all this time, could it be...she is your daughter?"

"ah?"

Mother Yang was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing with a "puchi", and then helplessly stretched out her hand to poke Zhang Ye's forehead, and said, "What's in your head? Don't think that Wen Yu's mind is like a child's." , but she is already 17 years old. My sister, I am only 28 years old this year, could it be...I gave birth to a baby at the age of 11? Hahaha..."

At the end, Mother Yang couldn't help laughing anymore.

Zhang Ye's face was half red and half white.

Gritting his teeth helplessly, Zhang also made a decision.

"Since my sister has been reluctant to reveal the little girl's life experience, then I will make my request."

"A request?" Mama Yang restrained her smile and gestured, "Tell me."

Zhang Ye gritted his teeth and said, "I want to redeem Wen Yu's body!"

"what?"

Mother Yang's eyes widened, and she stared at Zhang Ye in disbelief.After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Don't make fun of Wen Yu."

"It's not a joke." Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "I want to ask about Wen Yu's life experience. I just want her to return to her parents and live a normal girl's life. You can meet people you like and do what you like. In the future, you can marry your favorite lover, be a husband and a child..."

"Enough!" Yang's mother shouted, interrupting Zhang Ye's words.

"Wen Yu is a girl from Yihong Courtyard! She has no family... No, we are her family!" Mama Yang pushed Zhang Ye away resolutely and walked towards the pale Wen Yu behind him.

Zhang Ye turned around and looked at Wen Yu and Mother Yang, who was holding her tightly, with a complicated expression. A sense of guilt suddenly rose in his heart, and he asked himself secretly: Did I really do something wrong?
This side mission... just give up!

Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came to Zhang Ye's mind, the guilt and unwillingness in his heart disappeared instantly.

Yes, why should I destroy my original happiness because of my mission?
Although Wen Yu didn't know who her parents were, no matter whether it was Mama Yang or the other girls in Yihong Courtyard, they all treated her like relatives.And from the looks of it, Mother Yang didn't seem to intend for Wen Yu to become like them.

Sighing silently, Zhang Ye walked up to Wen Yu and Mother Yang, and said softly, "It was my fault. I shouldn't keep bringing up such things..."

Mother Yang said without raising her head, "Let's go! I can see what happened last night. You are not an ordinary person. The Yihong Courtyard can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."

Zhang Ye suddenly felt a pain in his heart.

Although I do have plans to leave Yihong Courtyard, but... resigning and leaving and being fired by the boss are two different things!
Sighing helplessly, Zhang Ye reached into his arms, grabbed a few banknotes and handed them to Mama Yang, saying: "Little...Miss Wen Yu likes Su Xiangzhai's sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I have some money here. Sister Yang, you can help her." Take it..."

After finishing speaking, Zhang ignored Yang's mother's attitude and stuffed the bank notes into her hand, then gritted his teeth, turned around and ran to the backyard door.

"Aggie! Aggie!"

The little girl called him twice anxiously.

Zhang Ye's body suddenly stopped, but he had no face to stay here, gritted his teeth and ran out of the yard.

"Aggie..."

Looking at the back of Zhang Ye's departure, the corner of the little girl's eyes became sore for some reason, and two lines of tears flowed out.

"Mother Yang...Why did you drive Aji away? Aji...Aji is a good person!"

Mother Yang hugged Wen Yu tightly and said nothing.
