Reborn Young Lady's Peerless Grace

At this critical moment, Du Zhijie came galloping over on his horse. He jumped up from the horse's back nimbly and kicked a robber away with one foot. Then he swung his sword with his backhand. With a flash of sword light, the robber fell into a pool of blood.

"Are you okay?"

Du Zhijie quickly turned around and gently helped Shen Wanqing up. His eyes scanned her anxiously, looking for any possible harm, and the concern in his eyes was beyond words.

"I...I'm okay."

Shen Wanqing's voice trembled slightly. She had just experienced a life-or-death crisis and was still in shock. Her hands were shaking unconsciously, and she could only squeeze out a few words in response to Shen Wanqing's question.

Du Zhijie was even more worried when he saw this. He hugged Shen Wanqing tightly in his arms, trying to calm her down. "Don't be afraid, everything is fine now." His voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power.

"Woo..." At this moment, in his safe arms, Shen Wanqing completely relaxed and dared to cry boldly.

She had just been pretending. She was just a weak woman with no martial arts skills. If he hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. But now that he was here, with his protection, she finally let out all her fear and insecurity.

"I thought...that was all I had to say today."

There was an obvious tremor in the crying, and Du Zhijie's heart was gripped with grief.

He was about to come, but when he saw the signal flare, he knew she was in trouble. If he couldn't get there in time, she would be in real danger. Even if she didn't die, her innocence would be gone. A girl's reputation is the most important thing. If she lost her innocence, the rumors would make her life worse than death.

Du Zhijie patted her back gently, and waited until she felt better before saying, "Second Miss Shen is here too, upstairs. Go up and stay with her for a while. I'll come find you after I'm done with this."

"Second sister?"

"Yes, she was going to pray for the second prince." Du Zhijie's eyes flashed, and he escorted her to the main road to meet Shen Wanxiu.

Yu Wenyi, who came right after him, kicked the robber who fell to the ground a few times and said, "This is not a robber, it looks like a killer."

"How do you recognize it?"

"What a coincidence, I've met these people before."

Yuwen Yi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

"Then we can't let them live."

The other robbers saw their companions being killed in an instant, and their eyes turned red. "Brothers, come together and avenge our big brother!"

Du Zhijie glared at the robbers charging at him. "You're overestimating yourself!" he snorted, the sword in his hand gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Du Zhijie flashed and moved like a ghost, weaving through the robbers. His swordsmanship was sharp, and each strike precisely targeted the robbers' vital points. Although the robbers were outnumbered, they were vulnerable in the face of Du Zhijie's superb martial arts.

"Have mercy, sir!" Some robbers began to beg for mercy.

Du Zhijie was unmoved, "You have committed many evil things, today is the day you die!" As he spoke, two more robbers fell under his sword.

"Hero, please let us go. We have no choice but to do this!" A robber knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

Du Zhijie stopped what he was doing and looked at him coldly, "Forced? When you robbed innocent people, did you ever think about their helplessness?"

The robbers looked at each other, speechless.

"Sir, we know we were wrong and we won't do it again." Another robber knelt down and begged for mercy.

Du Zhijie's eyes were firm and unmoved. "If you make a mistake, you must pay the price. If I forgive you today, I don't know how many people will suffer in the future." After saying that, he swung his sword again and subdued all the remaining robbers.

He didn't kill all of them, but only left two of them. He wanted to know who was behind all this.

"You only kept two people, why not one more?" Yuwen Yi pulled him.

"Why keep more than that? They all deserve to die. Leaving two is too many." Du Zhijie brushed him aside and dealt with the robbers. Then he ordered his men, "Send them all to the jail. Tell the authorities you're welcome."

"You are so cruel!"

Yuwen Yi didn't react and gave him a thumbs up.

These are all killers. Since the government cannot bring them to justice, I am sending their bodies there today to inform the government. If this happens again, I will have to think about my official hat.

"Aren't there still two people left? I've already shown mercy."

Du Zhijie's eyes were slightly cold, and the murderous aura on his body had not yet dissipated.

His action this time was to make the Kyoto government confess its crime, or at least to find out which party dared to plot such a thing, so that he could take precautions in the future.

The Shen Mansion's carriage was no longer usable, so Du Zhijie asked her maid to pack the luggage and take it to Miss Shen's carriage, while he went to untie the horse.

After dealing with all this, he led the horse back to the roadside and knocked on the car window, "Fourth Miss."

Shen Wanqing lifted the car window curtain and looked up at him.

Her uneasy expression had eased considerably, and Du Zhijie felt relieved. "Your carriage has been destroyed, so go back to the city with your second sister!"

"Okay." Shen Wanqing nodded in agreement.

Seeing Du Zhijie approaching, Yuwen Yi winked at the carriage and asked, "Is she feeling better?"

"She's much better, but the crisis around her hasn't been resolved, so I'm worried." Du Zhijie frowned slightly.

What happened today served as a wake-up call for him, and he dared not take it lightly.

Yuwen Yi said "Oh" and looked at the carriage. The curtains were covered tightly and he didn't know what was going on inside. He couldn't help but joke with his friend before telling them to set off.

Shen Wanqing had already lowered the car window curtains and was already feeling uneasy.

It turns out that things that are destined will never change, and she is still in his heart in this life.

"Don't worry." Shen Wanxiu comforted.

Shen Wanqing raised her head, a blush appeared on her face, and her eyes were filled with worry. "Second sister, I'm just afraid that this matter is not that simple."

"Master Du will take care of the backgrounds and intentions of these assassins. You can trust him."

"I naturally believe him."

It's not that she doesn't believe in his ability. She is afraid that if the matter is investigated, it will have far-reaching consequences, which will offend many people and leave him hurt, which will distress her.

They soon arrived in the city and returned home with Shen Wanxiu.

Du Zhijie always rode a horse to protect him.

Shen Wanqing looked up at him, and finally ran over with her skirt lifted up.

Du Zhijie quickly dismounted and looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

"Mr. Du."

"exist?"

"I like you." Shen Wanqing looked up at him and said solemnly, "If you hear anything bad, you can trust me unconditionally."
