Even Zhu Ying, who had always liked Ah Liu's temperament of being quiet or surprising when he did, heard these simple words and realized that the innocent little girl had been rescued by Ah Liu. She felt relieved, but at the same time she wanted to rush up and beat that boy up!
It turns out that Ah Liu was not pretending to be indifferent just now, but was really indifferent! Because this kid was basically watching a monkey show!
Zhang Shou, who also realized this, was both angry and amused. Although he had sensed something was wrong from the boy's tone when Ah Liu invited him and Zhu Ying to take a walk in front of Qing'an Hall, and had prepared for a rainy day, it now seemed that he had underestimated the cunning behind the boy's sultry appearance!
Compared to Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying's subtle feelings, the short man's eyes flickered. He snorted coldly and said with a smile: "Don't be complacent! My master has laid a net of heaven and earth. Don't think that those guys in the Duke of Zhao's mansion can come to save you! Even if you have three heads and six arms, I still have dozens or even hundreds of people behind me. Dr. Zhang and Miss Zhu can't survive!"
"I'm sorry, the people in Duke Zhao's mansion may not be anything special, but they are probably stronger than you think." As he said this, a thin figure holding a sword appeared in everyone's sight. In addition to the bloodstains on his body, the sword in his hand also had blood dripping from it, and it was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle.
As the man gradually approached, Zhu Ying, who had not been able to see his head and face clearly because he was standing in the backlight, finally couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "Brother? Aren't you recuperating at home? When did you come out?"
After hearing this, the deep scar on Zhu Tingfang's left cheek trembled slightly. Seeing that the short man in Liu's hand was also staring at him with disbelief, he said calmly: "Why, did your master hear the news that after Zhu Tingfang forced himself to return to Beijing and enter the palace, he started to stay indoors and probably died of serious injuries, so there is no need to worry about him anymore?"
As he spoke, he calmly crossed the sword over to his left hand, then nodded at Zhang Shou as if nothing had happened, and then smiled at the stunned Zhu Ying.
"Fortunately, Zhang Shou was more cautious than you. He told someone to inform me before he came out. Although he didn't explain it clearly, I don't know whether Ah Liu didn't know about this meeting place in advance, and he looked at people along the way or used other methods to find it, or he was deliberately keeping it a secret. But I did some tricks on your carriage, and it's not too late to lead people here. It's just the right time to put an end to this kid."
Zhu Tingfang pointed at Ah Liu unhappily, but before he could scold the boy for being so audacious, Ah Liu suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to grab the short man's hair, and brought him directly in front of him. This action was completely unexpected to him, so when Ah Liu loosened his hand and threw the man in front of him, he had not yet reacted.
"My Lord, this is a trophy."
Even though Zhu Tingfang had heard about Ah Liu's temper from his grandmother and stepmother, he couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly at this incredible statement, and even glanced sideways at Zhang Shou.
