The Command to Pamper the Husband - Chapter 23

“These people might just be guards. If you call out, you might attract others.”

Wan Xi nodded.

Song Jin slowly let go.

Wan Xi took a deep breath and grabbed Song Jin’s sleeve, “Young Master, going out with Lord Shen this time was like gambling with our lives. When we get back, you must make sure he compensates us well!”

Wan Xi gave Song Jin a knowing look.

Song Jin…

Even in such a situation, her little Wan Xi didn’t forget to claim Lu Zhan for herself!

Indeed, in the world of food lovers, there’s always someone more intense.

“Those two weaklings over there don’t know martial arts, grab them first!”

Before Song Jin could respond to Wan Xi, she heard a fierce voice behind her.

Weaklings?

Turning around, she saw three men in black rushing towards them.

If they’re going to capture people, why add personal insults!

How uncivilized!

Song Jin clenched her fist, ready to fight.

Wan Xi hurriedly stood in front of Song Jin, “Young Master, I will protect you!”

Her tone was bold, but her posture was strange!

Although she was blocking Song Jin, she was bent over, clutching her stomach, looking like she had eaten too much chicken.

Song Jin…

“Young Master, why do they want to catch chickens?”

Wan Xi’s nervous voice was filled with confusion.

She really didn’t understand why, in this situation, these people wanted to catch chickens!

What for? They can’t expect a chicken to fight, right?

Fighting chicken?

Song Jin…

While she was thinking this, the enemies were already upon them.

Shen Yue’s men realized their target was Song Jin and rushed to intercept, but it was too late.

The big black dog pounced furiously, but at its fastest, it could only bite the slower one’s leg.

The other two still headed straight for Song Jin.

In the moonlight.

Two men in black, two sharp swords, like two long snakes, shot straight towards Wan Xi.

Their speed left no time to dodge.

Wan Xi’s legs trembled with fear, but she still clutched her stomach, bent over, and shouted, “Young Master, run, run!”

Song Jin stood behind Wan Xi, her hands clenched tightly.

This situation was different from back at Phoenix Shadow Tower; she couldn’t win with just brute strength.

All she could do was…

Taking a deep breath, Song Jin focused all her attention, clenched her fists, and looked at the incoming swords.

Her eyes were sharp as hooks.

Three, two, one…

Just as Song Jin counted down to one in her heart, someone suddenly lifted her from behind.

“Didn’t Song Dingzhong say you knew martial arts? Why are you just standing here waiting to die?”

Shen Yue grabbed Song Jin, said irritably, and leaped.

Song Jin was skilled, but as a modern person, she couldn’t fly; she’d never been airborne before.

Now, being lifted by Shen Yue, watching the ground rapidly recede, Song Jin, in her panic, turned and clung tightly to Shen Yue.

Oh my God, flying so high, what if I fall!

Hugging Shen Yue tightly, Song Jin looked down at Wan Xi.

Seeing Wan Xi protected by Lu Zhan, the black-clad men being attacked by Shen Yue’s people and the big black dog, Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief and focused on holding onto Shen Yue.

Shen Yue…

Is this sissy crazy!

He picks him up by the waist, and he can’t stay still, he has to turn around in his arms!

What is he doing clinging to him like an octopus!

How could Song Dingzhong raise such a useless son!

Shen Yue frowned in disgust, landed, and pushed Song Jin away.

Song Jin staggered but stood firm, smiling at Shen Yue, “Thanks a lot.”

Shen Yue…

So effeminate!

Song Jin stood firm, and Wan Xi stumbled over, grabbing Song Jin’s arm anxiously, “Young Master, are you okay?”

Song Jin patted Wan Xi’s shoulder, “I’m fine, see, all good.”

Wan Xi let out a breath, “Young Master, didn’t they say they were catching chickens? Why did they come at us! It really scared me to death.”

Song Jin…

Shen Yue…

Just after Song Jin was nearly assassinated, the big black dog was madly attacking the black-clad men, and with the help of Shen Yue’s secret guards, the fight ended quickly.

The men in black fell to the ground, and Lu Zhan stepped forward to check.

The big black dog, Yuan Bao, ran to Song Jin’s side, examining her up and down as if to make sure she was indeed unhurt.

After checking, Yuan Bao squatted next to Song Jin, looking like a protective guardian dog.

Shen Yue looked suspiciously at Yuan Bao.

If he didn’t know the dog’s origin, he would have thought it originally belonged to Song Jin.

When this dog was with the Crown Prince, it didn’t seem to care about him this much.

Indeed, the rumors about this dog weren’t reliable at all!

After glancing at Yuan Bao, Shen Yue shifted his suspicious gaze to Song Jin.

In the moonlight, he saw Song Jin’s high collar, and his eye twitched.

Forget it!

This effeminate sissy was neither worth looking at from afar nor up close.

“Not good!”

Just as Shen Yue looked away, Song Jin suddenly raised her hand and pointed forward.

Shen Yue followed her gaze and saw a fallen black-clad man pulling out a signal flare from his chest.

Shen Yue squinted, kicked up a few branches.

The branches flew up, Shen Yue grabbed one, and with a flick of his wrist, it shot like a dart towards the black-clad man.

At the same time, a silver sword flashed in the moonlit night.

The sword seemed to hover in mid-air, then shot towards the black-clad man.

Almost simultaneously, the sword and the branch pierced the black-clad man’s throat.

Song Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yue, however, frowned and stepped forward.

Who threw that sword just now?

He clearly didn’t see his men move.

Was he seeing things?

Impossible!

The sword belonged to the black-clad men and had fallen to the ground with them.

There was no one from his side near where the sword flew up.

How did that sword rise!

For a moment, Shen Yue felt like he had seen a ghost.

Could there be someone else nearby?

Friend or foe?

His eagle-like eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and Shen Yue looked at Lu Zhan, “How is it?”

He deliberately lowered his voice.

Shen Yue’s lowered voice made Lu Zhan speak softer too.

“These should be men from the Duke An’s household. It seems we’ve entered their defense range; the gold mine should be nearby.”

“Do they have the Duke An’s insignia on them?”

Lu Zhan shook his head, “No.”

Shen Yue clenched his fist. Without the Duke An’s insignia, they couldn’t link them directly to Duke An.

“Bury them and keep moving.”

With that, he glanced around again.

The forest was silent, with only the sound of insects; even distant wolves didn’t howl.

Leaving two secret guards to clean up the battlefield, the group moved on.

Only Song Jin remained still.
