Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

After Xue Yunmeng finished speaking, he immediately flashed and rushed forward lightly.

But these men in black were no ordinary people and their reactions were extremely quick. They quickly adjusted their posture, changed the direction of the swords in their hands, and attacked Xue Yunmeng. For a moment, the sword shadows were heavy and the cold light flashed.

At the same time, Ji Qingyi was not idle either. He held a wooden stick in his hand, his figure flashed, and he started a fierce confrontation with the man in black.

He was seen wielding his wooden stick with great vigor, and was not at all inferior to the men in black holding sharp swords when fighting against them.

Xue Yunmeng seized the opportunity, exerted force with the whip in his hand, and snatched a sword directly from a man in black.

She threw the sword high up, and the sword drew a silver arc in the air and flew straight towards Ji Qingyi.

"Take it." Xue Yunmeng shouted loudly.

Ji Qingyi aimed at the incoming sword and reached out to catch it steadily.

With this sword, he was like a tiger with wings. In just a few moves, he knocked dozens of men in black to the ground.

Looking at the men in black lying on the ground, Xue Yunmeng was quick to take out a handful of medicine powder from his arms and sprinkle it on the men in black, who immediately lost consciousness.

"Go upstairs."

Xue Yunmeng looked nervous. Tao Jiuxi was still upstairs at the moment. She was worried about Tao Jiuxi's safety, so she shouted to Ji Qingyi.

At this time, the lobby of the inn had already turned into a mess. The number of people was several times that of the backyard. The shouts and sounds of weapons clashing were intertwined, and the chaos was unbearable.

The two immediately joined the fight in the lobby.

While Ji Qingyi was waving his sword to fight with the men in black, he looked up at the second floor and saw that there were more and more men in black on the second floor, approaching Tao Jiuxi's room.

He frowned and immediately pulled Xue Yunmeng's hand.

"I'll take you to the second floor. Go and take care of Xier."

After saying that, he suddenly exerted force on his hands, and with his clever strength, he lightly sent Xue Yunmeng to the second floor.

Xue Yunmeng landed steadily on the second floor, holding a whip tightly in one hand and a short knife in the other. She faced the men in black who were blocking her way, raised her hand and slashed with the knife, blood splattered, and those men in black could not get close to her for a while.

When she fought her way to Tao Jiuxi's door, Shen Zhiyi had already dealt with the last person in the room, kicking him directly from the second floor to the first floor.

And in his hand, he was still holding Tao Jiuxi tightly.

The inn was in a mess, with blood everywhere. The strong and pungent smell of blood filled the air, making people feel sick.

The battle was quickly resolved.

Shen Zhiyi held Tao Jiuxi tightly in his arms, isolating her from this bloody world, while with his other hand he used his sword to lightly lift the back collar of a man in black lying on the ground.

I saw a tattoo on the skin on the back of the black-clad man's neck.

"He is from Miaoxiang Country."

"Although we share a border with Miaoxiang Country, we have kept to ourselves for many years. Now that they are making such a big fuss in Yulong City, they must be planning something big." Ji Qingyi was also carefully examining the corpses of several men in black on the ground, and found that all of them had the same mark on the back of their necks. He felt that this matter was not simple at all.

"They have been planning carefully for so long, but they didn't expect that their conspiracy would be disrupted by us unintentionally. That's why they are so angry and come out in full force to take revenge. Just leave this to Jiang Qu to handle. We have to return to Beijing as soon as possible and report this matter to the court." Ji Qingyi said.

Those who were captured before, after being tortured, confessed that there were a total of 200 people. Now, in this fierce battle, the number of people captured and killed is almost the same.

Jiang Qu will be here to take care of the aftermath, so there won't be any problems.

Tao Jiuxi kept his eyes closed until he left the inn, then he slowly opened his eyes.

From the beginning of the battle, she had been suppressing her fear until she was sure that all the enemies had been eliminated. Only then did she dare to close her eyes and not look at these bloody scenes. Although she was unable to fight against the killer, she also tried her best not to add to the chaos.

After returning to the boat, her hands and feet were still shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Xue Yunmeng hurriedly took out some tranquilizers and gave them to Tao Jiuxi.

After taking the medicine, Tao Jiuxi fell into a deep sleep on the bed. Her originally pretty face was now pale with fear.

Who can look at dozens of corpses and broken limbs and remain indifferent?

Xue Yunmeng looked at her like this and couldn't help but said distressedly: "Shen Zhiyi, look at how much suffering she has endured following you."

Xue Yunmeng had been traveling with her master since she was a child, having experienced many things in life. When she was ten years old, she had personally killed a villain who had done all kinds of evil. She was no stranger to such bloody scenes. Even so, she could still understand how terrified and helpless Tao Jiuxi, a daughter raised in seclusion, must be at this moment.

"From now on, I will no longer bring her out for official business." Shen Zhiyi held Tao Jiuxi's hand tightly, his face full of self-blame.

During the entire journey, Tao Jiuxi never said the word "afraid", but how could he not know that her fear was hidden in her slightly trembling body and her pretended strong eyes.

"I'm too lazy to tell you."

Xue Yunmeng rolled her eyes at Shen Zhiyi. Although there was resentment in her tone, her eyes showed more understanding for the two of them. Everyone was trying their best to cope with the difficulties along the way, but Tao Jiuxi was the only one who suffered.

After Xue Yunmeng finished speaking, he walked to the low couch by the window and sat down.

Ji Qingyi followed Xue Yunmeng and walked over. There was worry in his eyes, but he remained silent.

Ji Qingyi poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xue Yunmeng.

"Miss Xue, have some tea."

Only then did Xue Yunmeng have the mind to pay attention to Ji Qingyi. He reached out to take the cup, and just as he took the cup, he heard a voice:

"Cousin, this is the tea I made especially for you."

The person who spoke was Xie Yushu.

Xie Yushu has been following behind since everyone got on the boat.

Xiao He was busy boiling water, washing towels, and changing clothes for Tao Jiuxi.

Xie Yushu followed behind Ji Qingyi all the time without helping, but she was like an invisible person and received no attention at all.

When Xue Yunmeng heard this, he threw the cup in his hand away and shouted angrily, "Who is this?"

It’s just a cup of tea, so what does it matter who makes it?

Why can't she drink?

If Xie Yushu hadn't called her "cousin", Xue Yunmeng would have thought she was Tao Jiuxi's maid. However, even if she was a maid, she was not very discerning.

Seeing Xue Yunmeng throw the cup far away, Xie Yushu felt humiliated and his dignity was trampled upon.

"I am Brother Yi's cousin, who are you?" Xie Yushu immediately walked forward angrily.

But just as she finished speaking, she saw that Ji Qingyi had no intention of introducing her. Instead, he said to Xue Yunmeng who had smashed the cup, "This tea is not good. I will make tea for you myself."

Seeing Ji Qingyi defending him like this, Xue Yunmeng's originally fierce aura softened instantly.

"Just pour a glass of water."

Xie Yushu clenched his fists in anger and yelled at Xue Yunmeng, "Who are you?"

"Oh, you can't tell? Why don't you ask your cousin?"

At this time, Ji Qingyi quickly poured the water back.

Seeing this, Xie Yushu was about to reach out to grab his arm, but Ji Qingyi dodged it easily and walked straight towards Xue Yunmeng, saying, "Miss Xue, the water is coming."

Xue Yunmeng reached out to take the water, first glanced at Xie Yushu who was standing not far away, and then slowly took a sip of water.

It’s a pity that Tao Jiuxi fell asleep at this critical moment. If she were awake, she might be able to see this wonderful show.

When Xue Yunmeng first met Tao Jiuxi, although he knew that she was the apple of Shen Zhiyi's eye, he did not feel any hostility or disgust towards her.

However, at this moment, looking at the woman named Xie Yushu in front of him, Xue Yunmeng inexplicably felt disgusted.

Very annoying.

Xie Yushu clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his teeth were clenched.

"Xie Xiao-Xiao, Xi'er was extremely frightened today and needs to rest well. If you don't have anything important to do, please don't disturb her for the next two days."

"Cousin, you...how could you treat me like this?" Xie Yushu's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Miss Xie, my girl is not very kind-hearted, as you can see. I have just started pursuing her, so please don't make things more difficult for me." Ji Qingyi said seriously, looking at Xie Yushu sincerely.

"Cousin!" Xie Yushu shouted in anger, his face turning blue.

"Please." Ji Qingyi's tone was still calm, but his attitude was firm.

Xie Yushu was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. The tears rolled in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to fall. She glared at Ji Qingyi fiercely, then looked at Xue Yunmeng with resentment, and then turned and left.

After Xie Yushu left, the serious expression on Ji Qingyi's face gradually faded.

He looked at Xue Yunmeng and said softly, "She and I have nothing to do with each other. We just met a few times half a month ago."

"What do you want to explain to me? Didn't we just meet yesterday?" Xue Yunmeng said as he casually played with the teacup in his hand and looked at Ji Qingyi with a smile.

"That's different. In fact, the length of acquaintance is not a problem."

"Oh?"
