Chapter 119 Gambling
The coldness in Ren Baozhi's eyes frightened Chen Gaojie's flesh, which trembled for a few times. He finally supported himself with his hands and sat up. "You murderer of my father! How dare you come to me! You bitch, you killed my father!"
Ren Baozhi sneered, "So? Do you want to avenge him?"
Chen Gongzheng thought of his father's tragic death, and his double chin almost dropped. "You woman, you are simply an evil ghost. When the New Year comes this year, I will definitely set off firecrackers to drive you away!"
"Heh," Ren Baozhi laughed briefly, as if he had heard a funny joke, "Useless trash."
When Chen Gaojie heard himself being called a waste by the woman who had once been unpopular, he started to curse again.
Ren Baozhi knew that he was going to spit out dirty shit again, so he knocked him out with a quick and decisive blow.
Seeing Chen Gaojie fainted on the spot with his mouth wide open, Ren Baozhi took out a handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiped the grease from her fingers.
This was the handkerchief that Jiangchun prepared for herself, in case she would cough up blood all the time, so she prepared it for emergencies.
Ren Baozhi looked at the yellow stain on the handkerchief and said with a sigh, "He was born to be an oily creature."
Just as I was wondering how to take the person away without touching the lard, I suddenly heard footsteps outside the house.
Judging from the sound, there were about dozens of people, walking in steady and orderly steps, and they were rushing towards him.
The door was thrown open suddenly.
Ren Baozhi looked back and saw Wei Yanyi standing outside the threshold with a dozen guards. Beside her was the woman called "Ting'er" who had just been struggling with Chen Gaojie.
When the woman saw Ren Baozhi looking at her, she shrank her neck timidly and stopped looking at her.
Ren Baozhi's brows were getting tighter and tighter. He hadn't even noticed when this woman went out.
Before Ren Baozhi could figure it out, Wei Yanyi spoke up: "Madam Yingxi, what are you trying to do?"
Ren Baozhi bowed respectfully and said, "My younger brother is naughty and indulges in pleasures. He stays out all day and night. My mother misses him so much that she sent me to bring him back home."
Wei Yanyi looked at Chen Gaojie, whose eyes were rolled back on the ground, and covered his nose with a handkerchief: "I'm afraid this method of taking someone home is not appropriate."
"Madam Wei, you don't know. My brother is stubborn and won't listen to my kind words of advice."
"Then I'll be frank," Wei Yanyi put down his handkerchief. "If this man is in such a state, you definitely can't take him away. Those who come here for entertainment must be rich or noble. If we can't guarantee the safety of our customers, won't you ruin our reputation?"
No matter what, Ren Baozhi must take Chen Gaojie away. Whether it is to threaten her to marry him or to handle the property transfer procedures, she needs him.
Even an hour late could be dangerous.
Just as Ren Baozhi was thinking about a countermeasure, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the scimitars in the hands of the guards and revealed an unfathomable smile.
She bet that nothing would happen to her today.
Ren Baozhi deliberately provoked a quarrel: "What if I must take this person away?"
"My dear lady, why are you doing this?" Wei Yanyi said with a smile on his bright red lips. "One step back and the world will be wider, right?"
Ren Baozhi repeated, "What if I must take this person away?"
Wei Yanyi suppressed his smile and said, "Then don't blame us for being rude."
She waved her handkerchief and said, "Go ahead."
Before the guards could draw their swords, Ren Baozhi grabbed Chen Gaojie by the collar and broke out through the window.
Wei Yanyi's voice sounded behind him: "Chase."
The wind whistled in my ears and the sound of swords clashing suddenly arose.
Ren Baozhi was holding Chen Gaojie in her left hand and could only fight back with one hand, but she still found a flaw in the flash of swords and sabers. Ren Baozhi took advantage of the gap and chopped at the person who was blocking her way. The person's arm fell to the ground in an instant, and his moon-white robe was stained with blood.
There was a sharp sound of breaking air behind him. Before Ren Baozhi could turn around, he raised his hand and raised the blade, stabbing it straight out. He felt the temperature of hot blood spurting out on the back of his neck.
After killing two people in a row, the guards were not afraid. Instead, they became more determined to fight and surrounded Ren Baozhi.
In an instant, a cold light flashed, and blade shadows suddenly came from all directions. Ren Baozhi gritted his teeth and swung his sword, but he could only barely block the curved blade that was chopping down on his head.
The man's strength was so strong that it made Ren Baozhi's right arm numb. She staggered and couldn't suppress a few coughs from her throat.
The scimitar took advantage of Ren Baozhi's unpreparedness and slid down along his long sword, leaving a bloody mark on his left shoulder.
In addition, the blades that were originally as fierce as waves crashing on the shore suddenly stopped moving. Even though Ren Baozhi staggered back a few steps, those curved blades did not even touch her clothes or hair.
Ren Baozhi stared at the graceful red figure coming towards her, and the smile on her lips became brighter and brighter, like the warm summer sun, which seemed to be able to burn people.
She won the bet.
Si Jiangchou walked forward and asked, "Mother, what's the commotion?"
Wei Yanyi replied, "This heroic lady wants to forcibly take our guest away."
Si Jiangchou raised his sleeves slightly, signaling the guards to disperse. "Although this action is inappropriate, this heroic lady is also our guest. How can you be so disrespectful to a guest?"
"This heroic lady has never spent any money here."
"Everyone who comes is a guest. Frequently starting a war will only disturb the other guests."
"My lady is right. I haven't thought it through properly."
Si Jiangchou looked at the pale Ren Baozhi and said, "My dear lady, I hope you are not frightened. You are so weak, why act so impulsively?"
Ren Baozhi's smile did not fade: "I must bring him back today."
Si Jiangchou stretched out his index finger and made a "hush" gesture at Ren Baozhi's lips. Ren Baozhi turned her head away and felt the fingertips that were stroking her cheek were extremely cold. The touch made her feel creepy.
The man in black that night had the same feeling.
Just as she was on her way to the room where Chen Gaojie was, Si Jiangchou's eyes and the eyes of the man in black perfectly overlapped in Ren Baozhi's mind.
Although the man in black covered his face, his eyes, which were exposed, had already been memorized by Ren Baozhi.
Moreover, Si Jiangchou's laughter today can completely overlap with the sweet voice of the man in black.
What made Ren Baozhi even more certain that the two were the same person was the scimitars in the guards' hands. These scimitars had a unique shape and were not common in the Wu Zhou period.
Finally, there was the guards’ act of showing mercy.
Ren Baozhi is now almost 90% sure that the man in black and Si Jiangchou are the same person.
Si Jiangchou took Ren Baozhi's hand and said, "A customer was injured in our store, so we will not sit idly by. Madam Yingxiong, please follow me. Chou'er will treat your wound."
