Chapter 82

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

Yu Linglong’s scream was bad . In a flash, a dozen people in blue had reached the carriage, and the men in black who were chasing them followed closely . The two groups of people immediately started fighting on the carriage .

Seeing this scene, several maids were frightened and dared not to run . Only Ling’er’s small figure guarded the carriage door, posing in a defensive posture, with wide eyes, ready to protect Lady Yu .

There was chaos on the mountain road, and the men in black acted mercilessly . For a while, blood was splashed, and every bit of blood on the mountain road was spilled . But the people in blue were no longer silent as before . They were all using desperate moves, screaming again and again, and soon there were a few blue figures hanging on the road .

The horse pulling the carriage was frightened . It shook its hooves and dashed from left to right in the crowd . Ling’er was swayed and unsteady . She was thrown off the carriage in a blink of an eye . Lady Yu was very calm inside the carriage . There was blood outside, and she was sitting inside the b.u.mpy carriage, but she couldn’t make a sound .

The scared-faced coachman stubbornly pulled on the reins and shouted in horror . Unexpectedly, the horse listened to it but was not controlled at all, and went crazy .

Zhuiyue was a precious horse, but facing the situation calmly, Yu Linglong urged the horse forward, and ran to the side of the speeding carriage in a few steps, and shouted aloud in the noisy fighting: “Lady, are you alright?”

Lady Yu called from the carriage: “I’m fine, take care of yourself!”

The horse pulling the carriage rushed out of the crowd and finally calmed down under the tight reins of the coachman .

Seeing that Lady Yu’s situation had slowed down, Yu Linglong turned her head . Only a quarter of an hour after the man in blue had been killed, and the road was full of blue corpses .

The men in black were well-trained . After annihilating the enemy, they immediately gathered to the carriage and surrounded it in a blink of an eye .

Heavy murderous intent floated in the air, and the cold wind blew . These silent people in black suddenly gave birth to endless fear, like ghosts .

Yu Linglong raised the reins of the horse, and Zhuiyue raised his front hooves, jumping into the circle of men in black standing by the carriage .

Looking condescendingly at the people in black who surrounded her, Yu Linglong said coldly: “What do you want to do?”

Even though Yu Linglong was brilliant and incomparable, she couldn’t see the origin of these people . They were uniformly dressed, with extraordinary skills, fierce hands, and neat movements, but they did not act like officials in the government . Their entire bodies emitted both good and evil .

She knew that if she broke the good deeds of these people, it was very likely that she would be killed .

If they were killed on this remote mountain road, no one would know .

With Zhuiyue’s legs, it was very easy for her to escape alone, but when she was gone, what about Lady Yu and Ling’er!?

In her dictionary, there was no such thing as “escape,” and there was no possibility of abandoning them to escape!

Thinking of this, Yu Linglong clenched the reins . Her beautiful eyes were on guard, but she looked at the men in black without fear .

Unexpectedly, the men in black just surrounded them and remained motionless, neither attacking nor giving in .

Yu Linglong frowned slightly . What were these people doing?

Suddenly, the faces of all the people in black turned in one direction, as if waiting for something .

Yu Linglong looked sideways and saw that a long black figure appeared silently on the rock on one side .

He stood on a protruding rock, as tall and arrogant as a pine tree emerging from a broken rock . He wore a black robe that blew in the wind . On the corner of his clothes was an eagle embroidered with a silver thread that looked like it was flying in the wind .

Only then did Yu Linglong discover that the people in black who surrounded them also had silver eagle patterns on the corners of their clothes, so they were obviously unified .

The person standing on the rock against the wind was obviously their leader .

With her cold eyes narrowed, Yu Linglong raised her voice and said, “Who are you, your excellency?”

The man’s indifferent gaze fell onto Yu Linglong’s . A trace of surprise seemed to pa.s.s through his eyes, and his calmness was restored in a flash .

Only then did Yu Linglong clearly see what this person looked like . She saw his inky hair flying in the wind, but he was wearing a silver mask, and she couldn’t see his appearance clearly . The cold eyes and sharp corners of his lips set off the rigid lines of his face . His expression was cold, and his whole body was full of cold energy .

The man’s gaze swept across Yu Linglong and landed on the carriage .

The hard thin lips finally opened, and the man said in a deep voice, “Leave the carriage and we’ll let you go . ”

Yu Linglong’s beautiful eyes were cold . What? They wanted them to leave the carriage!?

A pear-like cold and pretty face raised, and unceremoniously greeted the man’s flas.h.i.+ng gaze . Yu Linglong’s voice was as indifferent as ice and snow: “That depends on you, whether you can!”

As soon as her voice fell, the people in black all around them took a big step neatly and uniformly, and the originally small encirclement became much narrower and more powerful .

Yu Linglong didn’t even look around, as if she hadn’t noticed the murderousness around her at all . She stared at the man on the rock with her eyes like the cold snow of December .

She knew that without this man’s order, the people in black around him would never act rashly, and that man was the key .

Her feet secretly withdrew from the stirrups . Yu Linglong concentrated her energy, slammed hard on Zhuiyue’s back, leaped forward, and flew to the man on the rock with incomparable dexterity .

To capture the thief, you must first capture the king . As long as this person was restrained, the people in black below were not afraid .

Yu Linglong was surprised, but the man seemed to be prepared . Seeing Yu Linglong in a red dress pounce on him, he turned slightly to his side and deftly avoided Yu Linglong’s lightning-fast attack .

As she missed, Yu Linglong twisted her waist and steadily landed on the rock . She had her next trick ready and was continuously attacking the man .

On the narrow rock, the two of them moved and dodged attacks, and in a blink of an eye, they had already fought dozens of moves . One was in black and one was in red, and in the fierce mountain breeze, it looked so breathtaking .

The more she fought, the more Yu Linglong felt secretly frightened . The man’s feet were calm and flexible, with fewer offensive moves and more defensive moves, so that she could take advantage of it . Obviously, she was very comfortable .

She secretly gritted her teeth . Yu Linglong kicked out the right leg, and while the man avoided it, she drew the dagger from her calf with her bare hands .

In the gloomy sky, a long, sharp light shone from the dagger in her hand . Like thunder and lightning, she quickly pierced at the man’s throat .

Seeing the light and flint, the knife would pierce him fiercely, but he didn’t dodge it . He waved away the exquisite dagger, and the blade stabbed the rock, and sparks splashed all over .

From the moment she drew out the dagger, the man’s eyes were full of excitement . This time he avoided Yu Linglong’s attack, and the man immediately yelled, “How dare you—”

The words behind him were swallowed abruptly . Under the man’s silver mask, his thin lips were pressed together tightly . Only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, as if quenched, staring straight at Yu Linglong .

A few strands of long hair fell in the howling mountain breeze . It was Yu Linglong’s sharp blade that cut off a lock of the man’s hair .

Yu Linglong was unscathed, but the man had his hair cut . The discerning person has their own judgment on whoever wins .

If you don’t fight for life and death, it will be like this .

The wind sounded fiercely, and her red jade-like robe flew up and down . She was standing prettily on the rock, like a big, blooming flower, unspeakably beautiful .

When the dagger was closed behind her, Yu Linglong raised her small chin and said coldly: “Now, can we go?”

The man’s eyes became colder, and there was a complex expression in his eyes . After a pause, he raised his hand downwards and signaled the men in black to leave .

Seeing the carriage slowly moving forward from the road with the men in black, Yu Linglong jumped down from the rock and landed directly on Zhuiyue . She urged the horse to move forward and guarded beside the carriage .

After experiencing the b.l.o.o.d.y battle just now, Zhuiyue seemed very irritable and hissed in the direction he came from frequently as if calling something .

Yu Linglong patted Zhuiyue’s neck gently, comforting him . It’s no wonder that Zhuiyue has been following Lord Xu . Wherever he has seen the blood of these killings, fear was inevitable .

To say nothing of horses, even these people have lingering fears . Everyone tacitly did not say a word; they just bowed their heads on the road and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong soon .

Seeing the group of people go further and further away, a man in black who was standing closer said in a low voice, “Commander —”

The man on the rock raised his hand to stop the words of his subordinate, and a pair of black eyes like dark, rolling clouds followed the direction of Yu Linglong and the others .

A line of bloodstains winding down the mountain road was instantly covered by the sand and pebbles lifted by the mountain wind until there was no trace of it .

The corners of the lips under the silver mask were slightly raised, revealing a cold smile .

We will meet again soon .

…

After hearing the news that Lady Yu was returning to the mansion today, even though Lady Mu s.h.i.+ was ill, she still asked her servants to clean the mansion carefully, especially the Jingshan Hall where Lady Yu lived . The new furnis.h.i.+ngs were completely refurbished .

Mu s.h.i.+ tried to lift up her sick body and bring the people from the mansion to the gate to greet Lady Yu, but she was shocked by the dusty group of people .

Yu Linglong’s face was frosty, and she didn’t say a word . The maids who followed were all ashen and panicked . What’s more terrifying was the carriage that Lady Yu was riding in . It was splashed with blood and looked shocking .

“What…what is this!?” Of course, Mu s.h.i.+ didn’t dare to ask Yu Linglong directly . She looked at the maids beside the carriage, and her voice was terrified . “Where is the Lady? The Lady is fine, right?!?”

Seeing that her son’s big wedding was just around the corner if something happened to the old lady of the Yu family, this marriage probably wouldn’t happen .

The group went down the mountain in fear, and only when they saw home did they dare speak out . A woman cried out: “Madam, the servants almost couldn’t return—”

As soon as she shouted this sentence, Yu Linglong shouted back coldly: “Shut up!”

A group of people were scolded when they were crying . All the maids and women were tearful and looked at Mu s.h.i.+ pitifully . In front of Yu Linglong, they did not dare to take a breath .

Ling’er quickly jumped out of the carriage and took out the footstool and put it away . Then she lifted the curtain and said softly, “Lady, please get out of the car . ”

Lady Yu took Ling’er’s hand and got out of the car steadily . Seeing that the Lady was okay, Mu s.h.i.+’s heart returned to its place . She hurriedly greeted her and went to support her . “Lady, please slow down . ”

Just as she stretched out her hand, Lady Yu slapped it back . It hurt Mu s.h.i.+ so much that she looked at Mrs . Yu with a stunned expression . For a while, she did not stretch her hand or withdraw it .

Lady Yu said angrily: “You asked someone to take me down the mountain . You sent a group of old ladies and little girls, and you never thought what would happen if I ran into a robber? Did you expect me to die sooner??”

Standing at the gate, Lady Yu scolded her in front of everyone . She was very embarra.s.sed, but she didn’t dare reply, so she lowered her head and let her scold her .

This was indeed her fault . She thought that since Lady Yu named Yu Linglong to pick her up, she just had to arrange it as usual, but forgot to arrange a guard .

First, she was hurt . It was inevitable to make some mistakes in her actions . Second, Lady Yu had a tough body and some good fists, so she didn’t worry too much about Lady Yu’s safety .

Besides, she’s an old lady . Who would rob her?

Mu s.h.i.+ thought this, but she didn’t dare say it, so she lowered her head and turned sideways, carefully following Lady Yu into the mansion .

In the past three years since Lady Yu was absent from the house, Mu s.h.i.+ was used to being a mistress who kept her word, but now she could only watch her words or look like an angry little wife .

Lady Yu was still angry, and when she sat in Jingshan Hall, she said, “Where is that kid, Yu Peng? He doesn’t even care about his mother who he hasn’t seen in three years . Where did he go now?”

Mu s.h.i.+ didn’t even dare sit . She accompanied her carefully and said, “There is something wrong at the Gan house, the master had to take someone over to have a look . ”

Lady Yu raised her brows . “The Gan house? What happened to the Gan house?”

Seeing that Lady Yu had diverted her attention, Mu s.h.i.+ finally sighed in relief, and hurriedly replied: “I heard that the son of the Gan house has disappeared . I have already reported to the capital’s magistrate . Now the entire capital was searched, and they haven’t found him . ”

Lady Yu frowned slightly: “If I remember, Lord Gan has only one son . ”

Mu s.h.i.+ said: “You remember correctly . Master Taifu only got a son when he was 40 years old, and now he is only thirteen years old . ”

The two of them asked and answered questions here, and Yu Linglong over there was already a little impatient . She got up and said, “Lady, I’m leaving . ”

Lady Yu looked at her . Her face had lightened a lot, and her voice was very concerned: “Linglong, you are also tired . Go back and rest first . ”

Mu s.h.i.+ was a little speechless . How did Lady Yu treat her so kindly? She was very kind to Yu Linglong, the daughter of a commoner .

This side was gossiping, and Lady Yu had already picked up the tea, and said in a low voice: “What the h.e.l.l is going on in the Gan house? Tell me everything you know . ”

…

Yu Linglong returned to Pinlan Garden . After taking a shower and changing clothes, she felt refreshed . When she came out, Xuan Cao had listened to Linger’s experience, and she was struggling with fear, almost shedding tears .

“Miss, next time you go out, you must remember to bring me . If you have any shortcomings, I will not be able to survive . ”

Yu Linglong looked helplessly at the teary Xuan Cao: “Bring you? What can you do?”

Xuan Cao said confidently: “I can protect the lady!”

Yu Linglong glanced at Xuan Cao, and decided not to attack the girl’s loyalty, but changed the subject: “Let Ma Changgeng prepare a few eggs for me, raw, and some carrots . ”

Xuan Cao was very puzzled: “Does the young lady want to cook? Do you want a servant to order the kitchen…”

Yu Linglong pulled up her wet hair, and casually pulled it into a bun with a hairpin: “It’s not cooking . Go get it ready and bring it in for me . ”

Yu Linglong took the box of food packed by Xuan Cao and said, “Ling’er is going to rest . I want to go out for a while, and no one needs to follow me . ”

Xuan Cao immediately became anxious: “What are you doing? Miss, where are you going? I will follow you…”

Yu Linglong sighed and tried to increase her patience: “I will walk around the house . Are you satisfied?”

Xuan Cao relaxed now . Seeing Yu Linglong walk out of the door, Xuan Cao chased her out uneasily and said, “Miss, please come back soon . I have prepared red dates and mushroom soup for you!”

Yu Linglong carried the box of food and said without looking back, “I see . I will drink it when I come back . ”

Having been in ancient times for so long, she was still a bit unaccustomed to Xuan Cao’s overly sensitive ways, but she also had to admit that this little girl really took care of her in every possible way .

Lady Yu had just returned to the mansion, and the people under her obviously had things to do . At this moment, the backyard of the Yu Mansion was silent, and not a single person appeared .

Yu Linglong walked all the way to the backyard and took a long time to reach her destination .

This was the first time she had come to the stables of the Yu mansion . It was not very big, perhaps because General Yu was out all year round . There were no good horses in the stables . There were only a few ponies used to pull carts that slumped their head down to the ground and dozed off . Next to them were several large and small carriages in different conditions, among them the one that Lady Yu took back home today .

Here, Zhuiyue with his tall head and long legs appeared very prominently . Seeing Yu Linglong coming, Zhuiyue, who was lazily basking in the sun, immediately stood up, walked to the manger, and snorted excitedly at her .

After touching Zhuiyue’s s.h.i.+ny coat, Yu Linglong knocked the egg to the edge of the manger, fed them to Zhuiyue, and said softly, “Thank you for today . ”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse . com]

If it wasn’t for Zhuiyue’s courage, she would probably be thrown off the horse when the two groups of people were fighting; if it wasn’t for Zhuiyue’s spirituality, he wouldn’t be so connected with her, and he even understood her intentions with her every move .

She had s.n.a.t.c.hed Zhuiyue from Lord Xu just to teach Lord Xu a lesson . Zhuiyue had been in the mansion for so many days, and she had almost forgotten of its existence . But after experiencing that fight on the mountain, she felt that Zhuiyue was indeed a rare precious horse .

Animals, like humans, need to be rewarded and cared for a little bit before they can sacrifice their lives for you next time .

Zhuiyue ate the eggs and rubbed Yu Linglong’s hand with his satin-like nose . Yu Linglong smiled slightly, took out a carrot, and fed it to Zhuiyue .

“Eat slowly, this is all yours . ” Yu Linglong patted Zhuiyue’s neck, “Ling’er is right, you are really greedy . ”

In the quiet afternoon, the cicadas seemed to be asleep, and their surroundings were quiet, without a trace of wind .

In the silence, there was a very soft sound of the door opening and closing, and Yu Linglong looked back alertly .

Was someone there?

Behind her was only a building where horse gear and sundries were stored . How could there not be a trace of a person?

Yu Linglong took a deep breath . She was too nervous . Wasn’t there someone in the stables of the Yu house?
