Chapter 404: Fate is really playing tricks on us
Sanxiu was immersed in the joy of reuniting with his beloved disciple after a long separation. When he heard Xiaolu's words, he immediately reacted and hurriedly pulled his disciple Siyao behind him. Looking at the ghostly black shadows who were still standing at the door of the medicine store without saying a word and whose faces could not be seen clearly, he couldn't help but muttered: "Is this the Shadow Sect? I didn't expect them to show up at this time. But what are they doing with their neither human nor ghost tricks?"
After the three scholars finished muttering, several soldiers who were disguised as living in the medicine store also appeared in the front yard to protect them behind them.
"Master, what happened? What is Shadow Clan? Who are they?" Si Yao had just returned to the pharmacy and was confused by the situation. However, she could sense by intuition that the people outside the door were not friendly. But what about these strong men in front of her?
"Child, take them all back to the backyard first." The situation was critical, and Sanxiu had no time to explain to Si Yao. He turned around and looked at the frightened medicine boys with a look of pity on his face, and whispered in his apprentice Si Yao's ear: "The backyard may not be safe either, let's go directly to the back mountain..."
Before Sanxiu could finish, there was a bang, and two figures, one black and one white, broke through the beams and tiles and came out, and then started fighting on the roof again. Most people were shocked when they saw it, especially the medicine boys, who didn't expect that this fair-skinned scholar who had lived in the village for more than half a year was actually a master.
"Why are you fighting for no reason? Zeng Si, if you want to fight, why not destroy my roof beams?" Seeing his own clinic destroyed like this, Sanxiu's face darkened with heartache, and he roared at Zeng Si, who was fighting with a black shadow on the roof with a soft sword in his hand.
"I'm sorry...Mr. Sanxiu!" Zeng Si had no choice but to apologize to Sanxiu while dancing with the sword.
At this time, there were several more screams from the backyard. Honghua came to the front yard with Yanyu. She was surprised and happy to see Siyao, but she didn't bother to say hello and directly handed her sister to her, only saying, "Watch her for me first."
Before Sanxiu and Si Yao could say anything, Honghua turned around and ran to the backyard. The shadow warrior at the front door also rushed in with his sword drawn. Seeing this, several soldiers picked up their weapons and rushed forward.
In an instant, the entire Sanxiu Pharmacy was in chaos. Sanxiu's master and his disciples, as well as the medicine boys, were all at a loss as to what to do when they saw the fierce fights taking place.
Xiaolu wanted to go forward to help, but he thought that he had to protect the people behind him as well, so he had to watch the fight in front of him nervously.
As early as after these generals appeared, Xiaolu had recognized them as people from the military camp. Although he didn't know what had happened, after calming down and looking at the situation just now, he roughly guessed that the arrival of Yingmen was related to the two sisters Honghua and Xuanyu, and Sanxiu Pharmacy must have been implicated by them.
Xiaolu was extremely anxious, but then he thought that Yingmen was now a knife in the hands of the emperor, and they should not dare to offend His Highness easily. So as long as he moved His Highness out, perhaps he could intimidate Yingmen to some extent.
"Stop! Stop it all!"
Thinking of this, Xiaolu shouted towards the fights, but in the eyes of these people he was just a small medicine boy, so no one listened to him.
"What happened to you back there? Why did you start fighting before even saying a word?" Sanxiu looked at Xiaolu who was calm and resolute in protecting everyone behind him, and compared him with the other medicine boys who were trembling with fear. Although he had doubts in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to dwell on this, so he turned to ask Yanyu who was supported by Si Yao.
"I had just taken the medicine and was resting when several shadow warriors broke into the room and tried to take me away, but were discovered by my sister in time. To protect me, they directly fought with these people. I'm sorry, Mr. Sanxiu, the shadow warriors came for me, but they implicated the medicine store." Yan Yu's eyelids drooped tiredly at this time, and she apologized to the three masters and apprentices in front of her.
"Oh, what's the point of saying this now?" Sanxiu frowned and sighed, and couldn't help cursing: "Yan Zong, this ungrateful brat, sent him a letter two days ago, but he hasn't shown up yet. Is he planning to watch him die without helping?"
"Master, maybe Prince Zong was delayed due to other things." Although Xiu Ming was also anxious, he did not think that Yan Zong was an ungrateful person.
"It's such a big time and you're still speaking for him!" Xiuming's words made Sanxiu even more furious.
Si Yao said nothing when she heard this, but her heart was in turmoil. She hoped that Yan Zong would come to help the medicine shop out of danger, but she was also wary of his power. She tried every means to avoid him, but she never expected that the result would always go against her wishes.
When Xiaolu learned that the owner of the manor had sent a letter to His Highness two days ago, he was overjoyed. However, he became confused and worried when two days passed and His Highness still did not come.
Chirp...
As a soldier released the whistling arrow hidden in his sleeve, another shadow warrior also leaped out and ran into the dense forest several miles away from Sanxiu Pharmacy.
"Master, they have sent out a signal."
"A bunch of useless people. They can't even bring out a powerless woman, and yet they make such a big noise." Youmei, who had been waiting in the forest for a long time, turned around and shouted at the Yingshi who came back to report the news.
"Master, please calm down. The pharmacy has been prepared for this and there are many experts inside." The shadow warrior was so scared that he quickly knelt down at Youmei's feet and replied.
"Is it the prince's man?" Youmei's heart tightened and he asked anxiously.
"I haven't heard them reveal their identities yet." The shadow warrior continued.
Youmei didn't say anything else but waved his arm, and several shadow warriors appeared quietly, followed him out of the dense forest and headed straight for Sanxiu Pharmacy.
These whistling arrows are mostly used in the military. It seems that these people were sent by the prince of the clan. The signal was sent that the prince of the clan’s army was about to arrive. He did not want to be an enemy of the prince of the clan, but he was unwilling to let Xuanyu go so easily, so he had to go out in person and take people away before the prince of the clan’s army arrived.
As soon as the arrows rang, the remaining warriors in the medicine store stopped their actions and retreated to the door of the store. Zeng Si put away his sword and supported Honghua, whose arm was injured, back to Yanyu. Several other soldiers were also injured but still stood in front of Sanxiu and others.
At this moment, a strong palm wind suddenly hit, and the originally wounded soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground. Then Youmei's figure appeared in front of Xiaolu. Xiaolu was shocked and hurriedly tried to stop him, but he was just a small dark guard and was no match for the Shadow Sect Master. Before he could finish three moves, he was knocked away by the other party's palm and crashed into the rockery next to him and fainted.
"Xiaolu!" Although everyone in the medicine shop was surprised by Xiaolu's skills, they were all worried about him at this time. The originally timid Guo Ying didn't know where she got the courage from and ran towards Xiaolu crying without caring about her own safety.
Just when everyone focused their attention on Xiaolu, Youmei suddenly flew towards Yanyu. The speed was so fast that Zeng Si could not react in time. He hastily took the opponent's palm but was also knocked several feet away.
"Zeng Si!" Xuan Yu turned pale with fright, but she was so weak that she was still supported by Si Yao. She could only watch him fall to the ground and spit out blood with tears in her eyes.
"You are a bastard who doesn't keep his word!" Honghua was extremely furious at this moment. Even though he was injured, he still tried his best to protect his sister.
Seeing Honghua attacking him, Youmei just dodged sideways with a sneer of contempt. This woman's skills were average but her whole body was full of poison. Although he didn't take her seriously, he didn't dare to touch her directly.
When Youmei dodged Honghua, he reached out directly to Xuanyu. In a flash, Si Yao tripped Xuanyu to the ground with one foot. Just as he stepped forward, Youmei grabbed his neck quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were already far above the roof.
Everyone exclaimed again, Sanxiu was so angry that she jumped up and down, Xiuming also changed from his usual upright and calm demeanor and was gritting his teeth in anxiety, Chenlin and Caiyi saw that Siyao was in imminent danger and they were too weak to help at all, they all burst into tears.
"Huh? Damn, I caught the wrong person!" When Youmei saw Yanyu being helped up by Honghua from afar, he realized that he had caught the wrong person.
It's really not Youmei's fault that his eyes are blurry due to his old age. Both Xuanyu and Siyao are cold beauties. If you don't look closely, they do look somewhat similar, so it's not surprising that he mistook them for each other in a hurry.
"She is the Zongwang's woman. If Youmei hurts her, your Yingmen will completely offend the Zongwang!" Just when Youmei was about to throw Si Yao off the roof in a rage, Honghua stopped him in time.
"What did you say?" Honghua's words startled Youmei, and he began to look closely at the woman in his hand.
Huayue's appearance is elegant and refined, but she looks cold and boring. It is unexpected that the prince, who has never been interested in women, actually likes such a cold beauty.
Si Yao, who was still being pinched by Youmei, was shocked when she heard what Honghua said. She wanted to explain, but she thought that if this reason could really save her, she could only save her life first and apologize to the King afterwards. Thinking of this, Si Yao sighed helplessly again: Fate really plays tricks on people. It will be even more difficult to get rid of Yan Zong in the future if I owe this favor today.
It was not only Youmei who was shocked by Honghua's words. Everyone present, except Master Sanxiu and his disciples and Honghua himself, looked at Si Yao in surprise.
"You..." Sanxiu was worried about his apprentice, but was once again angered by the nonsense of this vicious woman. When he was about to curse, he was stopped by Xiuming beside him, and then whispered a few words in his ear. Sanxiu had to endure it.
Today, the Shadow Clan came with great force but did not start a massacre of the people in the medicine shop. They must have been holding back because they were concerned about the clan king. Xiuming was not sure whether Madam Honghua really knew about the relationship between Junior Sister and the clan king, or whether she deliberately made it up in a hurry, but he also knew that this sentence could save Junior Sister, but if it got out, Junior Sister's reputation in the future would be... Well, let's save our lives first.
