From Shadow Guard to Empress

Chapter 6

Views:

In order to solve the trouble caused by Xiao Weiming, Xiao Weixin finally went back to the palace. Xia Huaizhang would not give up after suffering such a big loss. Even if Xiao Weiming was the King of Qin, how could he compare with the Xia family who actually held power? It was too easy to deal with a prince without real power.

You Shu trained in the Shadow Guard Camp for a day and felt somewhat worried. Judging from the character of Xia Huaizhang in the book, this man was vindictive and vicious, full of fools yet arrogant and conceited, and he did not care about whether he was a man or a woman. He had been bullying men and women in the capital for years and had been coveting Xiao Weixin for a long time. You Shu was worried that he would suffer a loss when he entered the palace this time.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, he heard from Ying Jiu, who was on duty, that the prince was very angry again after returning. It was said that he dragged Xiao Weiming to the banquet to toast Xia Huaizhang with a few glasses of wine as an apology, but Xia Huaizhang was very disdainful and still refused to give face. He made many unpleasant remarks and made them very embarrassed. In the end, it was Xiao Weishen who couldn't stand it anymore and came out to smooth things over, and only then did the matter get resolved.

well.

You Shu sighed deeply. Xiao Weiming was a little bastard who could not accomplish anything. Although he was the only one among all the brothers who was wholeheartedly kind to the male protagonist, his IQ was really worrying and sometimes he really held back in doing things.

Xiao Weixin was sure to be so angry that he would die this time. He guessed that the little beast named Xia had taken advantage of him verbally many times.

So the next day, You Shu received the task as expected.

Xiao Weixin, who had just returned from the palace, couldn't swallow this humiliation. He brought Xiao Weiming into the palace early in the morning. Xiao Weishen's spies had already told him about this, so he was not surprised that Xiao Weixin came to the palace, because it was known to everyone that King Qin and King Ling had a good relationship since childhood.

Originally, this matter was not a big deal. Although Xia Huaizhang's head was broken, it was not a big deal. Xiao Weiming apologized to him and it would be over. But Xia Huaizhang held on to this handle and refused to back down. He pointed at his head and said that he felt dizzy and nauseous because of Xiao Weiming's beating. He insisted that Xiao Weixin, as his brother, should apologize to him and pour him some wine.

Xiao Weishen didn't have a good impression of this cousin, and he tolerated him purely to save face for his uncle and the empress dowager. This time it was indeed Xiao Weiming who was reckless, but Xiao Weiming had already come to apologize in person, but he still refused to give in, which made Xiao Weishen feel disgusted.

Fortunately, Xiao Weixin was very considerate and kept apologizing in a low voice. Xia Huaizhang took the opportunity to touch his hand, but he did not make a scene, giving Xiao Weishen enough face. Xiao Weishen knew that he was wronged, and after returning, he specially rewarded him with a lot of things, probably to compensate him.

Xiao Weixin didn't care about the reward at all. He suppressed his anger and turned the study upside down again after he came back. He always remembered the undisguised desire in Xia Huaizhang's eyes when he looked at him, and the moment when he frivolously stroked the back of his hand. He was so disgusted that he wanted to make him bleed three feet on the spot.

He couldn't take revenge on Xia Huaizhang openly, but he could teach him a lesson secretly.

So You Shu accepted the order and thought it was a trivial matter.

He is best at assassination, and can shoot through a target without leaving a trace over a long distance, but he is also quite experienced in disguise and tracking. Although he is not as professional as Ying Jiu in using poison, he has his own accomplishments, and he is steady and measured in his work. He is a rare all-round talent, and this job is most suitable for him.

You Shu finally got the chance to bully their male protagonist, so how could he not make the most of it

At night, Tingyue Tower is brightly lit and bustling with noise. There is a constant stream of people and cars in front of the door, and dignitaries are brought in by the madams who are greeted at the door in fancy dresses. This is the most famous brothel in the capital.

You Shu stood in front of the building and looked around, sighing that he finally had the chance to come here by himself. Looking at those predecessors who traveled through time, almost everyone was full of curiosity and yearning for brothels. He had been there before, after all, brothels were the best place to collect intelligence, but that was always with his colleagues for official business, and this was the first time he came here privately.

His clothes were not particularly luxurious, but he was considered wealthy. The madam came up to him with a smile on her face and said, "This gentleman looks unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

"It's indeed my first time." You Shu smiled, looking like a modest gentleman. "I'm a merchant from out of town. I heard that your place is the most famous. Is that true?"

The madam smiled frivolously and led him in. You Shu ordered a waiter at random and then sat at the table drinking.

Soon, a girl in green pushed the door open, holding a pipa in her arms. She looked very young, with a childish look on her face, at most fourteen or fifteen years old, pretty, gentle and kind.

You Shu couldn't help but curse in his heart after just one look.

In this evil feudal society, even underage girls are forced to do the work!

You Shu's ears were listening to all directions, paying attention to the movements downstairs, and keeping an eye on everyone who came in. The little girl bowed and said in a delicate voice, "Sir, I am Luying, may I ask what song you would like to listen to?"

You Shu didn't have the time to listen to the songs. He just ordered the Qingguan to cover up his tracks. After listening to the girl's words, he waved his hand and said casually: "Talk about what you are good at."

Luying noticed his absent-mindedness, so she sat down quietly and began to play the piano. The music was quite pleasant to the ears. Even though Youshu's musical cells were congenitally underdeveloped, he could still hear the charm of the music, and he couldn't help but relax a little.

Soon a familiar figure appeared downstairs. It was Xia Huaizhang that You Shu was waiting for.

Xia Huaizhang was such a shameless sex-hungry ghost that he still went out to have fun even after his head was chopped off. He arrogantly kicked the madam away as soon as he entered the room, and cursed at the top prostitute to come out and serve him. The madam dared not offend this plague god, so she hurriedly asked someone to invite Hongrui, and took him to the box with a smile.

Generally, the private rooms where guests of that level are accommodated are heavily guarded, with a few thugs watching outside, so others cannot easily get in. You Shu followed his movements with the corner of his eye and accurately memorized his room number.

Luying had finished playing a song and asked him cautiously if he wanted to continue.

"No hurry, eat something first." You Shu casually pushed over another plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake that he hadn't touched. "I have to pee urgently, you eat and drink here and wait for me to come back."

After saying this, he stood up and hurried out, as if he really needed to go to the toilet urgently, leaving Luying looking at the door in confusion. It had been more than a year since her debut, and this was the first time she had encountered such a customer.

Let her eat and drink here... How should she eat

You Shu's face after disguise is unremarkable, but not the kind of ordinary that Louis Koo looks like. It's the kind of ordinary that you throw into a crowd and play connect-the-dots with, and you can't remember it the next second after just one look. This makes it easier for him to do bad things.

It was indeed easy for the guards in the brothel to deal with ordinary people, but it was like a joke to deal with a professional assassin like You Shu. He flipped out of the small window of the toilet and jumped onto the roof silently. People like Xia Huaizhang would bring people with him when they went out. He probably knew that he was hated and was afraid that someone would assassinate him, so he cherished his life more than anyone else. The two secret guards on the roof were the best proof of this.

You Shu hid under the eaves and stared at the two men for a while. After a little thought, he raised his sleeves and waved lightly, and two light silver needles flew out.

The two secret guards didn't expect someone would do such a ruthless thing to them. They were suddenly stabbed and passed out before they could even feel the pain. You Shu took the opportunity to leap up and kicked the two guys in disgust.

Judging from the way they are dressed, the salary Xia Huaizhang gives them must be quite high, but their skills really don't match such a high salary. With this kind of stuff, he can beat ten of them alone.

You Shu squatted down and gently lifted the tiles on the roof to peek inside. Sure enough, he saw Xia Huaizhang hugging and talking with a beautiful woman in red. His hands and feet were very unruly, and he looked like a lecherous devil who couldn't wait to have his fill.

A man's alertness is the lowest when that kind of thing is going on. Even though Xia Huaizhang himself is quite skilled in martial arts, he can't resist the lust in his brain and his alertness drops, making it easier for You Shu to take action.

He took out the bamboo tube he had prepared long ago and blew a puff of smoke into it. The red smoke quickly dissipated into the air. It was a specialty of their Shadow Guard Battalion, made by Ying Jiu. Ying Jiu had been undercover in various noisy occasions for many years and was very experienced in dealing with such occasions. He had guaranteed that even if it was a bull, as long as it smelled this stuff, it would fall to the ground in a short while and could not be kicked.

Facts have proved that Yingjiu is indeed reliable.

You Shu jumped down from the crack in the roof, looked at the dishevelled man and woman on the bed, and rubbed his chin for a while. To be fair, Xia Huaizhang was also a handsome man, but it was a pity that he had been in too many drinking and sex places, and there was always a kind of excessive indulgence between his eyebrows, which made people feel disgusted at a glance.

He walked forward and gently walked around the woman in red, pried open Xia Huaizhang's mouth and fed him a small blue pill. The pill melted in his mouth without any peculiar smell. Even if he woke up, he would not know what he had eaten.

This was a test product made by You Shu himself. He had learned to make drugs from Ying Jiu, and on a whim, he also invented a kind of "psychedelic drug" that can stimulate the human brain and make it extremely excited in a short period of time, producing many bizarre hallucinations. Although it does not harm the body, it hurts that thing. He had tried it on the male dog guarding the door before, and at least half a month's worth of meat was useless, which made the male dog run away with its legs tucked together when it saw him.

He named this thing "Brother Wei". People in the Shadow Guard Camp were terrified when they heard of it and no one dared to touch it.

You Shu turned around and added something to the incense burner in the room. The smell in the room suddenly became more fragrant, which could easily make people's blood rush and accelerate the effectiveness of the pills.

After doing all this, You Shu climbed out of the hole in the roof with satisfaction, carefully restored the tiles to their original state, moved the two dead people back, pulled out the silver needle from the back of his neck without leaving any trace, and returned along the same path.

The whole process took only a cup of tea.

When he returned to the second floor, Luying had already obediently finished a plate of osmanthus cake. When she saw him coming back, she hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Sir, you are back?"

When You Shu saw her well-behaved appearance, he suddenly thought of his little sister at home. If he looked closely at this little sister, her features were a little bit like hers. And when he died in a car accident, his sister was about the same age as her, so he unconsciously lowered his voice and replied, "Yeah."

"Finished?"

"Yes." Luying answered carefully, constantly peeking at his expression: "Sir, what else do you want to hear?"

You Shu had completed his mission and didn't plan to stay here for long. He was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly he thought of something and stepped back. He took out some silver from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is a tip for you."

Luying didn't know what a "tip" was, but she knew it was a reward. However, her status in the building was very low, and generally no customer would be generous enough to give her so much. She blushed and tried to refuse, but when she looked up, the customer had already walked away.

She stared at the door blankly, and it took her a long time to remember that she didn't know the young man's name yet.

You Shu walked downstairs and heard a commotion upstairs before he stepped out of the door. When he turned around, he saw Xia Huaizhang with disheveled clothes, his thing standing upright, and his bare butt rushing down from the upstairs, howling all the way that there was a ghost.

Passersby were stunned, not knowing what Mr. Xia was up to.

But they all saw it just now, Master Xia’s place... is very small.

You Shu was in a good mood, feeling the relief of having avenged his own protagonist.

It should be the wish of all readers to be able to personally fight against the villain on behalf of the protagonist.
