The Rebirth of an Orphan
Chapter 43 Assassinated
But she didn't understand. She was just helping him recuperate and regain his health, and she was of no other use. Why didn't he let her go?
She looked at Sun Xiao and said, "Master, I have recovered now and can't bother you here anymore. Why don't you let me go back to the villa to see Pingshui? Besides, you can't always be in charge of the Zhao family's affairs. I think..."
"Don't worry, no one from the Zhao family will bother you." After saying that, he sat down at the stone table next to him and fiddled with the tea set on the tea tray. Then he said with a smile, "Sit down first. Your body was not fit for tea before, but now it is. How about tasting the tea I made?"
In her previous life, Zhao Xihua heard from the servants of the Sun family that the eldest master of the Sun family was unique in Yuncheng in terms of tea-making skills, and ordinary people simply could not get to drink it. She did not expect to be able to taste the tea brewed by Sun Xiao today. How could she refuse?
She sat next to Sun Xiao and watched. She had previously won her grandmother's attention with her tea ceremony, but she didn't expect that Sun Xiao's tea ceremony was simply incomparable.
Zhao Xihua was stunned after watching Sun Xiao's whole set of movements. His technique looked like a painting with ancient charm, and it also had a majestic and majestic demeanor.
When Sun Xiao filled Zhao Xihua's teacup with the brewed tea, he discovered that the tea had been poured into a gorgeous peony flower, layer upon layer, which was very beautiful. The fragrance of the tea was simply intoxicating.
She didn't expect Sun Xiao's tea art to be so good. She took a sip and it tasted sweet and refreshing.
"This is Snow Mountain Silver Needle. Do you like it? If you like it, you can take two packs to the villa."
Zhao Xihua immediately raised her eyes and looked at Sun Xiao. Did this mean that he agreed to let her go back to the villa?
She quickly stood up and thanked Sun Xiao: "Thank you for the painting, young master!"
Unexpectedly, Sun Xiao also stood up and said: @I’ll take you there.”
Huh? He's going to send her off? What does that mean?
After Sun Xiao finished speaking, he quickly arranged for someone to help Zhao Xihua pack up. She came alone, but she came alone when she left, and she had prepared more than a dozen boxes with her belongings.
Those boxes were filled with clothes and jewelry that Zhao Xihua wanted to wear, as well as the books she liked to read, and most of all, some precious medicinal herbs. After all, she was the only disciple of Caiyun, the number one female doctor in Kyoto, and she would have to send them to her master later.
She originally wanted to refuse those clothes and jewelry, but Sun Xiao forced her to take them, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to take them away.
There were too many things for a small car to carry, so they arranged for a truck to load the boxes and follow at the end of their convoy.
Ye Ying and Chu Xing were in the same car with them. The other cars were filled with bodyguards. Although she didn't know anything about Kung Fu, she felt that the aura emanating from those bodyguards made her think that they must be top-notch masters.
These days, Sun Xiao has deployed many more bodyguards around the farm than usual, and some burly men in black have also appeared around Sun Xiao.
In the previous life, those men in black all followed Sun Cong. They became a fierce force in Sun Cong's hands and also helped Sun Cong win the victory in that war for power.
At that time, Mo Lingtian's family was weak. He had led troops in the army for many years and made great achievements, but he was suspected by others. Later, he instigated the major wealthy families in Kyoto to fight for power. What he needed was a ruthless subordinate like Sun Cong.
And the entire Sun family is the sharpest sword in his hand.
And now the owner of this bodyguard team is Sun Xiao who is sitting next to him.
If she hadn't saved Sun Xiao this time, all the wealth and power would have fallen into the hands of Sun Cong. She didn't know what her fate would be since she had disrupted everyone's destiny in this life.
Sun Xiao is not dead, but what about Sun Cong...
"Master, be careful!" The bodyguard's panicked voice came from outside, and soon a gunshot was heard. The piercing sound made people panic.
Zhao Xihua was startled. Before he could react, bursts of fighting sounds were heard outside.
She didn't expect that she would be assassinated just after leaving Sun Xiao's farm and before entering Yuncheng.
Hearing the shouting and screaming outside getting louder and louder, and it seemed that more and more people were coming, Zhao Xihua turned to look at Sun Xiao who was sitting upright. She knew that if it was an assassination, the target would definitely not be an insignificant person like her, but must be Sun Xiao.
But the Sun Xiao in front of him had his eyes slightly closed, and his expression showed no joy or anger, but rather a certain calmness.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the front window glass shattered. Ye Ying and Chu Xing, who had been sitting there before, had already gotten out of the car and were guarding outside the door after the gunshot. In an instant, the sound of close combat was heard outside the door.
When the car window broke, Sun Xiao quickly pulled Zhao Xihua and made them bend down and hide behind the fender. Fortunately, both of them were fine, but at this time, a trace of vigilance and imperceptible panic flashed across Sun Xiao's face.
Since his health gradually improved in the past month, such bold assassinations have occurred many times. However, they were not so arrogant before. It seems that the assassin this time must have some means.
Sun Xiao looked at Zhao Xihua. The girl's face had turned pale, but she was obviously pretending to be calm. She probably had never experienced such a scene before.
He raised his hand and tightly grasped Zhao Xihua's hand. Zhao Xihua was startled and struggled to pull her hand out, but Sun Xiao held it tightly and did not move. "Don't panic, follow me later."
As soon as Sun Xiao finished speaking, without waiting for Zhao Xihua to say anything, he opened the car door and pulled Zhao Xihua behind him and got out of the car. The scene outside the car scared Zhao Xihua.
The men in black on both sides were fighting each other desperately, slashing with their knives. Ye Ying, Chu Xing and Uncle Zhong were all trying their best to protect Sun Xiao's car.
No one could have expected that the leader of the other party was so skilled. When he saw Sun Xiao getting out of the car, he jumped up, flew over the bodyguards who were blocking him, and stabbed at Sun Xiao with a long machete.
However, Sun Xiao stopped Zhao Xihua behind him, took out a pistol from his pocket and shot at the other person. Although the man was a little panicked, he still managed to avoid Sun Xiao's bullet.
Zhao Xihua was completely frightened. She had always thought that Sun Xiao was a weak and scholarly young man, and she never thought that he would actually shoot a gun.
But after all, he had been ill for so long that his hands had no strength and his shooting was not very accurate, otherwise the assassin would have been shot to death.
Ye Ying and Chu Xing took the opportunity to pounce on the man. The three of them wrestled with each other and could no longer shoot.
Suddenly, the leader took advantage of Ye Ying and Chu Xing's inattention, turned around and slashed towards Sun Xiao, while Sun Xiao was looking at Uncle Zhong who was surrounded by a circle of people in front.
"Be careful!" Zhao Xihua, who was hiding behind Sun Xiao, had no time to remind him. He exclaimed and got out from behind Sun Xiao, using his body to block him.
