Chapter 909: The Unlearned Young Master 10
In order to keep his promise to Yun Zhi, Yun Yi studied seriously at home on the second day of boating with the teachers sent by Yun Wen.
He even turned down invitations from his clan members to attend various banquets, as if he was "oblivious to the world outside and focused on reading the books of sages."
Yun Yi was quiet, but Yun Zhi was not so lucky.
I had just arrived in Lingzhou and had not even had two days to rest when I was called by the female elders of the tribe to attend various banquets.
There are flower viewing banquets and tea tasting banquets to keep busy.
Yun Wen's fourth-rank official position was not impressive enough in the capital, but within the Yun family, it was already a high-ranking official with a high salary. As Yun Zhi was Yun Wen's daughter, she naturally became the target of everyone's efforts to win over and contact her.
Although Yun Zhi was tired from attending various banquets, there was also one benefit.
That means she has no time to think about her marriage with Jiang Zixiao.
After being busy for many days, Yun Zhi finally calmed down and found that her mood was no longer as flustered as before.
That day, Mei Peng finished his work in Lingzhou and prepared to continue heading south.
Before leaving Lingzhou, he specifically sought out Yun Zhi and Yun Yi to explain everything in detail.
Although their ancestral home is Lingzhou, they have not lived in Lingzhou for a long time. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so they have to be cautious in everything.
Defenses can not do without.
"Uncle, don't worry. We will take good care of ourselves." Yun Yi patted his chest and promised, "Even if something happens to me, I will not let my sister be in danger."
Mei Peng sighed helplessly. Yun Zhi was quiet and well-behaved, and she did things in a measured way, so he was not worried.
The person he was most worried about was Yun Yi, especially since he had actually learned how to make medicine on his own.
He had someone carefully check and verify the aphrodisiac and wound medicine that Yun Yi had given him before. They were both extremely effective and no side effects had been found so far.
"Remember what I told you before. Don't be too ostentatious, and don't do anything bad. Stay home and study hard. If you don't pass the exam next February, your father won't forgive you."
In response to Mei Peng's earnest teachings, Yun Yi nodded in agreement.
Seeing him so cheerful, Mei Peng became even more worried.
After thinking about it, Mei Peng decided to keep two people.
But he didn't tell Yun Zhi and Yun Yi. He just asked them to quietly wait near Yun's house and send a pigeon to send a message if there was anything.
After leaving Lingzhou, Mei Peng still felt uneasy.
It turns out that his sixth sense is still very sharp.
When he was less than three hundred miles away from Lingzhou, Mei Peng received a letter from a carrier pigeon saying that Yuchi Hong had brought people to Lingzhou and had also sent people to wait outside Yun's house.
Yuchi Hong?
Didn’t he come to Langguo just to avoid the cold rhinoceros?
Why did he suddenly come to Lingzhou? And why did he send people to stake out Yun's residence?
Neither Lingzhou nor Yunzhai had the cold-proof rhinoceros he wanted.
Could it be that Yuchi Hong discovered that the person who used the powder to knock out those minions in the villa last time was Yun Yi?
Mei Peng could only guess the purpose of Yuchi Hong's visit, but the most urgent task now was to rush back to Lingzhou and prevent Yuchi Hong from really doing anything to Yun Zhi and Yun Yi.
-
Yun Yi had always known that Mei Peng had left people near the Yun residence, and when Yuchi Hong's men appeared, he discovered them immediately.
When he drugged Yuchi Hong, he knew that Yuchi Hong would come looking for him.
And Yuchi Hong arrived later than he expected.
At night, everything is silent.
Yun Yi sent away the servants who accompanied him in his studies, climbed up to the roof with some wine, and drank under the moon.
In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment activities, unlike the various ones we have today, so people could only enjoy the moon to pass the time.
After drinking a pot of wine and enjoying the evening breeze, he returned to his bedroom to rest, feeling slightly tipsy.
His actions were seen by the two groups of people guarding outside Yun's house, and they went back to report.
"Master, that kid's hair hasn't even grown out yet. Is it really him who poisoned you?"
The attendants following Yuchi Hong were very puzzled. Yun Yi didn't look like a man with profound strategy at all.
That day in the villa, even if he used the powder to knock out the group of people guarding him, could he really put the poison into Yuchi Hong's wine without anyone noticing?
You have to know that in the villa at that time, in addition to those people who were knocked unconscious by Yun Yi, there were dozens of guards there.
Is it really true that no one discovered him?
Yuchi Hong glanced at the attendant and asked, "Besides him, is there any other possibility?"
While sick, he went to Luming Temple to seek help from Master Jingci. After a conversation between the two, Master Jingci said that it was not him who poisoned him.
After thinking about it, Yuchi Hong was sure that Master Jingci was not lying. Besides Master Jingci, there were only those three people left who were captured in the other courtyard that day.
Among the three people, only Yun Yi sprinkled the powder to knock the guard unconscious.
But after eating the vegetarian meal prepared for Master Jingci, he asked for an extra pot of wine, which gave Yun Yi the opportunity to poison him.
"Cough..." Yuchi Hong felt a tightness in his chest, and coughing hard a few times did not relieve the pain.
He clenched his fists and pounded his chest, and finally felt a little better.
"That guy is definitely pretending. Don't be fooled by his appearance." Yuchi Hong's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "Find an opportunity to deal with the people outside the house and quietly abduct them."
"Since he is pretending, could it be that he already knows of our existence and has been prepared for it?" asked the servant.
Yuchi Hong was also worried that Yun Yi was well prepared, and his target was not Yun Yi from the beginning to the end.
"I'm talking about Yun Zhi. Are you afraid that Yun Yi won't obey you after you kidnap her?"
Using the closest or most important people as hostages was a lesson he learned during his years in the cold palace.
It's like hitting a snake at its most vulnerable part. As long as you know what the other party cares about most, you will be able to succeed in everything you do.
It was the same when they kidnapped Master Jingci before, and it was the same when they sent people to kidnap Yunzhi today.
If you have a hostage, you have the best sword in the world.
Yuchi Hong came to Lang State in order to obtain the cold-avoiding rhinoceros to treat the Yue Emperor. Naturally, the guards sent to him by the Yue Emperor were all extremely powerful and had excellent kung fu skills.
The next night, a group of guards split into two groups.
While luring away the people who stayed outside Yun's house with Mei Peng, another group of people quickly entered Yun Zhi's house and kidnapped those who had already gone to bed.
From entering the Yun family residence to retreating, the entire process took no more than a cup of tea.
During this time, there was no other movement except the rustling of leaves in the evening breeze.
But when Yuchi Hong looked at the woman lying on the bed in her underwear, who had fallen asleep because of the incense, he always felt that something was wrong.
But upon closer inspection, her appearance was indeed the same as Yun Zhi whom he had secretly seen during the day.
Is it really that he is overthinking it?
Suddenly, Yuchi Hong caught a glimpse of the woman's arm resting on the bed.
Yun Zhi is a rich lady, not a servant girl, so how come her arms are so...strong?
The lines are tight and smooth, clearly the powerful arms of a martial artist.
