Ordinary observers in fast time travel

It is more than 120 miles from Shayang County to Jingmen Prefecture. It can be reached in just one day if you travel quickly.

The three of them did not delay and walked along the official road after leaving the city. After spending the night in a ruined temple in the wild, we arrived at Jingmen Mansion at dusk the next day.

"Third Young Master, is it really you?" A middle-aged man with a beard, shrewd eyes, and a dark gold moiré robe showed a look of joy.

"Just the housekeeper?" Zhuo Jingyu looked at the person in front of him in surprise. Isn't this the housekeeper of their Xuanwuhou Mansion? "Why are you here?"

The middle-aged man wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Since you disappeared, the Marquis, Madam, and the old lady were very worried, so they sent the young ones out to find your whereabouts."

"The little one has been out for more than ten days, and has arrived in Yichuan, Ruyang, Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Yicheng. The news of your disappearance was sent to various branches of the trading company." The steward secretly told about his hard work, while Show loyalty.

"It's a blessing to be a housekeeper. Dedicate it to Miss An. Arrange a room with Doctor Shi and wash up." Zhuo Jingyu patted him on the shoulder.

The butler shook his head and said, "As long as you come back safely, everything will be worth it. Mr. Sanlang, girls, please come with me. The room and hot water have been prepared."

"Yes." Zhuo Jingyu nodded with satisfaction.

Passing through the exquisite courtyard, you come to a long corridor, facing another scene of rockery, flowing water and green trees. There are flower windows on the wall of the corridor, and each flower window has a different view.

After walking for a while, an arch appeared from the wall. Looking from the arch, it was a path. I didn't know where it was leading. I saw strange flowers and plants on both sides of the path, vying for beauty.

Shi Jia sighed, "You really come from a wealthy family."

There seemed to be some hidden meaning in the words, which made the listener - Zhuo Jingyu's heart tighten. He quickly looked around and saw the other person's expression was calm. He did not see the envy and covetousness of a wealthy family, nor did he see the disgust and hatred of those who hated the rich.

But this calmness made Zhuo Jingyu feel inexplicably uneasy.

"Ahem, the misfortune of our ancestors is nothing." Zhuo Jingyu tried to save something, but it was in vain.

Shi Jia nodded, "With this understanding, I am still sober."

Zhuo Jingyu felt happy, but when he saw that the other party had no intention of saying anything more, he felt embarrassed.

"Miss An and Doctor Shi, your rooms are in this courtyard." Butler Cai led the three of them through an arch and arrived at a courtyard.

The door to the courtyard was open, and there were several servants standing inside.

"Thank you!"

"You are Mr. Sanlang's distinguished guests, so you should. If you two girls need anything, just ask my mother-in-law."

"it is good!"

Finally taking a hot bath, Shi Jia relaxed wholeheartedly.

"Madam, please rub your back." A woman in her twenties walked in.

"No need." Shi Jia waved his hand, "You can go out."

Shijia relaxed his whole body and let his whole body sink into the water, wrapped in the warm water. The fatigue of the past few days was released at this moment.

"Wow~" His head surfaced, leaning on the tub, and continued to close his eyes and rest.

After closing my eyes, my hearing becomes more sensitive.

"Da~da~"

An extremely slight sound sounded behind him, accompanied by a subtle killing intent. Shi Jia raised her eyebrows. She was not in the habit of being watched while bathing.

He flicked his finger back slightly, and "swiped" a water droplet that instantly bounced onto the forehead of the person behind him. "Bang!" He fell vertically backwards as if he had been hit by a huge impact.

"Clang~"

"Doctor Shi, what happened? Do you need help from the maids?" An urgent voice came from outside.

"Come in two people and carry the people behind out."

people? Carry it out?

The maids and servants outside looked confused, what is it?

"Yes!" Although he was confused, he quickly walked inside.

"what--"

Behind the tub, a person dressed as a maid fell to the ground. She was holding a dagger in one hand and the other hand was a claw. She seemed to be trying to grab something before she fell unconscious.

"Quiet!" The screams hurt the eardrums, and Shi Jia stopped in displeasure. The maids were frightened and trembled again, and stammered, "Doctor Shi? She, this person..."

"Take it out and tie it up. We'll deal with it later." Shi Jia waved his hand.

"Yes!" The two maids were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe and carried the man out with difficulty.

The moment the person was carried out, there was a weak energy fluctuation. Shi Jia stood up suddenly and turned around to look, but found nothing.

"Doctor Shi, do you have any orders?

Shijia shook his head and sat back in the water.

There was nothing wrong with the energy fluctuation just now, but why did it appear here with the intention to kill him? Shi Jia subconsciously raised his head, and the original roof of the ancient building came into view.

Well, let’s take a shower first.

"Lang Jun, there is an assassin in Madam Shi's room!" the steward said worriedly. This happened to the guests just after they settled in. Although it had nothing to do with them, after all, being in their house would somewhat harm their Zhuo family. reputation.

"Assassin?" Zhuo Jingyu was shocked, "Who is it? Has he been caught? Is Dr. Shi injured?"

At this time, Zhuo Jingyu had washed up, changed into new clothes, and was letting the maid wipe his hair.

"The assassin is caught, Shi Niang, Doctor Shi is not injured."

"Where is the person? Take him to the front yard and I will interrogate him." Zhuo Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Shi Jia was not injured. A wave of doubt came to his mind. Could it be that Dr. Shi was someone as he guessed? A descendant of a big family?

Otherwise, where would a person who has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests since childhood have enemies?

Still following me all the way to here?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Jingyu couldn't sit still, "Hurry up and wipe it."

"Yes!" The maid didn't dare to refute, so she could only speed up silently.

"Then, Lang Jun, please go and take the person to the front yard now."

"Go ahead. When Doctor Shi is free, he will be invited over." Zhuo Jingyu waved his hand.

"Yes."

His hair was not completely dry yet, but Zhuo Jingyu was a little restless, "That's all, no need to wipe it, just put it into a bun first."

After packing up, Zhuo Jingyu walked to the front yard with three steps and two steps at a time.

As soon as I arrived in the front yard, I saw Uncle Cai's anxious expression, "What happened?"

"Lang Jun, it's not good."

"Huh?" Zhuo Jingyu glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground, dressed in the attire of a maid in the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, kneeling there and crying.

"Mr. Lang, this is a maidservant from another courtyard. She was bought into the house at the age of ten and has been a slave for five years now." The housekeeper looked grim.

"People from other courtyards?" Zhuo Jingyu gasped, "Are you kidding me?"

The butler shook his head.

The explanation was unclear now, Zhuo Jingyu's eyes were sharp, "Tell me, who sent you?!"

The maid shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, no one instigated it. I am avenging myself and my family!"

Zhuo Jingyu almost spit out the tea in his mouth, staring at her with eyes like a death god, "Not telling the truth?"

"No, what I said is true. Shi Yan and her master killed my family, causing me to lose my parents since childhood and become a slave!"

"I swore revenge." The maid's expression was ferocious.

"Clap"

"Doctor Shi?" Zhuo Jingyu quickly stood up and greeted the visitor. (End of chapter)
