Chapter 103 is aimed at her!
What is Sheng Yunzhu going down there for?
Lu Yangyang peeked out. Today, since both Madam Lan and Old Madam Li went out, they brought quite a few maids and servants with them. Even if something happened, it wouldn't be Sheng Yunzhu's turn to go, right?
Could it be someone I know?
As Lu Yangyang was wondering, she saw Sheng Junyao also riding over on horseback.
Sheng Junyao quickly arrived at the scene of the accident. Instead of checking on the women guarding the roadside, he asked the coachman, "What happened?"
Before the driver could reply, Sheng Yunzhu said, "Brother, this young lady is also going to Huguo Temple to burn incense. Since it's on the same route, why don't we give them a ride? It's the middle of nowhere, and it might not be safe for a young lady to stay here alone for too long."
Sheng Junyao glanced at her but didn't reply. Instead, he instructed the guards who had come with him: "Move the tree aside first and clear out the path."
"Yes!" The two guards accepted the order, dismounted, and ran over to move the books.
Sheng Yunzhu was not wearing a veil. She looked up at Sheng Junyao with red eyes and said, "Is my elder brother angry with me? Just now, my grandmother heard that someone was in trouble and was a woman, so she sent me to see if there was anything I could do to help."
"My older brother used to dote on me. Could it be that he changed so quickly just because of my status? What about all those years?"
As Sheng Yunzhu spoke, tears streamed down her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
“I’m not angry with you, but you need to be mindful of the situation. This isn’t the time for you to stand here crying and complaining to me.” Sheng Junyao’s tone was somewhat stern. “Go back to the carriage first.”
"Big brother, I..." Sheng Yunzhu stood there stubbornly, wanting to say something more.
However, at that moment, an arrow suddenly flew from the slope. Sheng Junyao's expression changed abruptly. He quickly deflected the arrow with his spear, dismounted, and nimbly dodged another arrow.
The change happened suddenly. At the same time, about a dozen or twenty masked men with black wings rushed out from the shadows and began slashing wildly with their knives.
"Ah—" Sheng Yunzhu screamed, clutching her head.
Sheng Junyao's face darkened, and he shouted, "Go back now!"
Just then, Sheng Junyi arrived, and Sheng Junyao hurriedly left with the words, "Take her back!"
Then he quickly ran towards the direction of the carriage.
They didn't bring many guards with them on this trip, only five or six. For normal outings, that many guards would be more than enough, but right now, these men in black were clearly not a rabble, but more like specially trained assassins.
Sheng Junyao was worried about the safety of his mother and sister and wanted to get to the carriage as soon as possible, but the men in black had already guessed his intentions. As soon as he dealt with the two, five or six men rushed up to him, as if they wanted to stop him there.
Lu Yangyang was craning her neck to see what was going on when several arrows suddenly flew by, grazing her ears.
Lu Yangyang pulled the arrow out of the carriage, pushed open the carriage door, and jumped out.
Yuanxing, who was sitting in front of the carriage, was terrified. When she saw Lu Yangyang get off, she hurriedly and clumsily jumped off the carriage as well, but she lost her footing and fell to the ground.
Lu Yangyang grabbed her and pulled her up, saying, "Hide well!"
After drinking a cup of rice, she saw two men in black fighting with the guards outside the carriage of the Lan family ahead.
She quickly glanced at the list. She had brought six guards with her today. Two were guarding Madam Li's carriage, and two were with Madam Lan. She originally had two guards with her, but because Sheng Junyao kept coming over to talk to her, she sent those two guards to clear the way. Just as they stopped, he ordered them to move some trees.
Therefore, there were no guards beside her carriage at this time.
However, at least seven or eight men in black ran towards her.
Could it be that they came for her?
Before the thought had even settled, a man in black who was already in front of her swung his long knife at her. Lu Yangyang bent down and rolled on the ground, grabbed the man's calf, and before he could react, she snapped his leg in two.
Caught off guard, the man in black felt a sharp pain in his leg and instantly lost his balance, falling to the ground. Lu Yangyang seized the opportunity, flipped over, stepped on his wrist, bent down and snatched the knife from his hand, then slashed it across his neck.
Blood splattered all over her skirt.
Lu Yangyang stood up, knife in hand, and squinted at the others who were approaching.
Sure enough, it was for her.
Lu Yangyang had only learned some basic martial arts from the bodyguards at the escort agency, and there was no real technique involved, but when it came to using a knife, that was her forte.
As she watched the man in black slowly approach her, she suddenly drew her knife and slashed at him.
The man in black probably never dreamed that Lu Yangyang would dare to chop so haphazardly. He instinctively jumped up, trying to get close to Lu Yangyang from above. But he never expected that although Lu Yangyang's movements were haphazard, she was agile enough and her attacks were quick, accurate and ruthless.
Furthermore, her control over her strength had reached a level of perfection. In just a few moves, she seized the opportunity and chopped off one of the men in black's arms and another man in black's foot.
The other men in black were on guard for a moment, probably because they didn't expect Lu Yangyang to have the ability to fight back.
Just then, because Sheng Junyao was blocking another group of men in black, Sheng Junyi happened to be protecting Sheng Yunzhu and rushed over. Sheng Yunzhu and Madam Li's carriage were behind Lu Yangyang's carriage.
Seeing that Lu Yangyang was being attacked by six or seven men in black, Sheng Junyi could not turn a blind eye. He whispered to Sheng Yunzhu, "Zhuzhu, find a chance to run back later. Don't be afraid, I'll go help her."
Before Sheng Yunzhu could react, Sheng Junyi kicked one of the approaching men in black away, wanting Sheng Yunzhu to run away first so he could help Lu Yangyang.
But as soon as he left, a man in black rushed towards Sheng Yunzhu.
"Ah—" Sheng Yunzhu grabbed Yuanxing, who was hiding beside the carriage, and screamed loudly from behind her.
Sheng Junyi had no choice but to turn around and deal with the men in black who were approaching Sheng Yunzhu and the others.
Fortunately, Sheng Junyao had already dealt with the people besieging him and arrived in time to join the battle.
After observing that Lu Yangyang knew how to use a knife, Sheng Junyao quickly cooperated with her and soon dealt with the men in black who were attacking Lu Yangyang.
Although it was their first time working together, the two showed a rare chemistry, and towards the end, Lu Yangyang's eyes even lit up.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining few whistled and quickly retreated.
Just as Lu Yangyang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw one of the men in black who had been lying on the ground suddenly jump up and raise his knife to slash at Sheng Junyao's back.
Lu Yangyang hurriedly swung the knife in her hand at the man in black.
"Big brother, watch out! Bend down!"
