Chapter 83.3 This Lord Is From Yan Luo Hall! (3)
“Boss, what’s wrong?”
“This Yin third master is renowned for being moody, not easy to deal with.” Luo Fu said. “Hoping he leaves after handing them over, and not cause any trouble.”
Yin Yue Xuan unhappily drove the horse carriage, inside, calculating how to settle the score with the one inside the carriage once he completes these two deals. Then, recalling how he got restrained by that child, his mood immediately soured. That’s why, when he saw the people waiting for him in front, he didn’t give a good face either.
“Yin third master, didn’t expect for you to come out for this mission, this one is deeply honored!” Luo Fu cupped his hands at Yin Yue Xuan and smiled.
Yin Yue Xuan jumped down from the horse carriage and opened the carriage door, exposing the crookedly postured Du Xiao Li, Xia Yuan, and Ying Ge lying inside. “I’ve brought the person, our deal is complete.”
“Hahaha, Yan Luo Hall, as expected, handles matter nimbly!” Luo Fu loudly laughed, “We……….”
Before Luo Fu could finish his words, a burst of horse hooves sounded. Everyone all jumped inside. The men in black further took precaution and looked in the direction the sound came from.
“De, de, de—-”
The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and two shadows ran over. After seeing clearly who the other party was, everyone all relaxed a breath.
“Ke Xin, how come you’re here?” When the horse stopped, Luo Fu somewhat helplessly looked to the person on horseback.
Du Ke Xin sat on top of the horseback and looked to Luo Fu, asking: “Uncle Luo, is Du Xiao Li in the horse carriage?”
“Ke Xin, what are you doing here, quickly go back.” Luo Fu urged.
Unknown as to what provoked her this time, Du Ke Xin ignored Luo Fu. Seeing that he didn’t answer her question, she directly jumped down from the horse and opened the carriage door herself, seeing Du Xiao Li lying inside. She coldly laughed, “As expected this slut is here! Xiang Yu, kill her for me!”
(T/N: Lol I really like this servant’s name; Xiang Yu – fragrant taro)
The other person that came together with Du Ke Xin was servant girl in charge of protecting her, twenty years of age, with a good mastery of martial arts, frequently doing some shady things for Du Ke Xin. Hearing Du Ke Xin’s words, she got down from the horse and drew her sword, striking towards Du Xiao Li, but was stopped by Yin Yue Xuan.
“This person I still haven’t handed over yet! The deal was to have the person handed over alive, if you kill the person, how am I suppose to complete the task?” Yin Yue Xuan exerted a bit of strength. Xiang Yu ended up getting jolted back very far, landing ten meters away, following which she turned and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
“Xiang Yu!” Du Ke Xin, seeing her own person getting injured, drew her sword and pointed it towards Yin Yue Xuang, “Who are you, to actually dare injure my people!?”
Seeing Du Ke Xin’s movement, Luo Fu quickly pulled her back in fright and retreated several steps back, “Ke Xin, you can’t be like this! The other party is someone from the Yan Luo Hall that we hired. They came to fulfill their mission!”
Du Ke Xin lifted her head and looked to Luo Fu. Seeing the warning contained in his eyes, she stomped her foot and said, “Then quickly have the person handed over!”
“With you this mean, think I’ll hand over just like that?” Yin Yue Xuan looked to Du Ke Xin and said.
The curtains blocked the scene inside the carriage. Du Xiao Li opened her eyes, seeing Xia Yuan and Ying Ge both with their eyes opened as well. Qiao Zhu had been woken up by Du Xiao Li and left inside the forest. Originally, she just let her wait for them, but hearing that this place often have ferocious beast appearing, she thus had her placed atop a big tree, letting her wait for their return.
They were conscious the entire time. Originally, they were listening to Luo Fu’s voice, but before they could hear who their master was, Du Ke Xin came. Hearing their conversation, it seems they weren’t together, but they definitely knew each other. Furthermore, from the looks of it, she and that man were very familiar. This matter perhaps was also related to Zhong Mei Qing. Thus, she decided to continue pretending to be unconscious.
Earlier, she had sensed there were ten some people, not very strong. Even if Yin Yue Xuan didn’t act, she was confident that she could handle them all. Thus, she lightly knocked on the floorboard twice, letting Yin Yue Xuan understand her intention.
Knocking once, he would have to help them escape.
Knocking twice, he can leave, and they will find out the other party’s purpose themselves.
This was the ‘deal’ they previously agreed to.
Receiving Du Xiao Li’s signal, Yin Yue Xuan said, “Forget it, I’m too lazy to bother with a little girl. The person’s inside, where’s the remaining money?”
Heaing Yin Yue Xuan’s words, Luo Fu waved his hand, letting someone next to him hand over a thick stack of banknotes. Yin Yue Xuan took the money and shoved it into his chest without even counting it. In a flash, he then flew away from atop the horse carriage.
Xiang Yu got up from the ground and came up next to Du Ke Xin, holding her chest, “Miss, do you still want to kill that slut?”
Hearing Du Xiao Li’s name, Du Ke Xin recalled the words she’d accidentally heard from Du Old Madam’s place when she’d returned home in the afternoon, saying how great Du Xiao Li was, and as the di daughter, how she won honor for the family, and also saying how she, Du Ke Xin, was inferior to Du Xiao Li and such. In addition to inadvertently hearing Ren Wang telling his servant boy how he regretted in the morning back at the academy, and how all he thought about in his head everyday was Du Xiao Li, wanting to obtain Du Xiao Li, all the accumulated resentment in her heart shot up. She must kill Du Xiao Li. Originally, she wanted to look for Luo Fu to help her secretly get rid of Du Xiao Li, but she didn’t find him at his residence. After asking his servant boy, she learned of their plan today.
“Kill, of course we need to kill her!” Du Ke Xin said gritting her teeth.
“Miss, master has ordered, this Du Xiao Li can’t be killed. We need to use her to disrupt Du Yun Han and Han Ming Yi’s footsteps, so that they can’t complete the preparations for the competition between the countries.” Luo Fu said trying to stop her. “As long as Du Xiao Li can’t complete the preparations this time, the Emperor will naturally punish her!”
“I don’t care, I must have her killed today!” Du Ke Xin furiously cried, “As soon as she came back, she stole my di daughter position, letting me change from Ren Wang’s main consort to a side consort. Grandmother’s attention is also all on these two siblings, and right now, even Ren Wang has fallen for her, wanting to marry her as the main consort. How can I swallow this anger? As long as she’s dead, everything will be fine! Uncle Luo, you watched me grow up, how can you bear to see me endure such grievances?”
“Miss, but master has ordered, need to leave her alive. If you kill her without permission, even if it’s the entire Zhong family, won’t be able to bear master’s anger either! Miss, just wait, very soon, you’ll be able to see Du Xiao Li die.” Luo Fu urged.
“I don’t care about your master! I must kill her!” Du Ke Xin viciously said. Seeing someone block Xiang Yu, she stepped pass Luo Fu, stealing Xiang Yu’s sword. Then, pulling open the carriage curtains, she stabbed towards Du Xiao Li!
“Miss!”
Luo Fu grabbed Du Ke Xin at once, pulling her away from the horse carriage, “Miss, you mustn’t!”
