Rebellious Contract Beast

Zhu Hong roughly told what she knew.

After listening, Shen Yi in the conscious space couldn't help but murmured: "Heh, what do I mean, old witch, your cousin named Zhu Yandong knew the matter but didn't explain it clearly to you, so he asked you to ask this maid, isn't that all? The stupid son those two nags talked about yesterday is him. He is afraid that you will laugh at him in your heart. It's really interesting. "

Tsurumi Chuyun didn't respond to him, he was thinking about something.

"Miss?"

Seeing her silence, Zhu Hong couldn't help but call out.

When she came to her senses, she asked again: "How much money does my cousin owe Wantailou?"

"I don't know. What I said is what I heard. There are many things I don't know. It should be many, many, and it must be more than a few thousand taels."

He saw that Chuyun stopped talking again and fell into deep thought again.

As the carriage and horse jolted through the noisy old street, no one knew that she was actually talking to Shen Yi.

"Xuanli, tell me, what do you think will happen if I join Jiyuansi directly?"

"I just want to help your aunt."

"As you can see, she's also nice to me. I'd better help if you can."

"If you ask me, I advise you to be cautious."

"Can you tell me the reason?"

"First of all, a question, do you know your aunt?"

"Uh... I don't know." Tsurumi answered quickly without thinking for too long.

"Yes, you and your aunt have met half the time on the palm of your hand. You don't even know what kind of person she is. How can you help her right away when you say you want to help her?"

"Won't you help?"

"Stay there, you can help, but you have to see if she is worth your help, right?"

"what do you mean?"

"Observe and observe first, and then make plans after you understand more. Now, when it comes to the question of whether you want to join Jiyuan Division, my suggestion is no."

"Why."

"You have been an alchemist for a long time. Think about it yourself, how much can the pills you make be sold for?"

"a lot."

"Well, the alchemist earns all his money, but the alchemist himself and his family can spend all that money?"

"Um……"

"You can't spend it all, right? Let me ask you again, what is money? Money spent is called money. Money must be circulated. If an alchemist earns so much money and just eats it, won't things get messy over time?"

"I understand what you mean, business tax?"

"Yes, I don't know much about the laws of your dynasty, but anyway, those alchemists who join Jiyuan Division must pay taxes on the money they earn, and it must be very heavy. But also, those royal families Give you rights, keep you safe, let you respond to everything, and then you help them make money, it’s a win-win situation, and it’s unrealistic for the alchemist to take all the benefits.”

"Isn't what you said is not good for you? All the elixirs I made have been sold. What do you eat?"

"Yeah, what, you still want me to starve?"

"Where did I miss it?"

"Okay, I'm not done yet."

"You said."

"Think about it, Qiu Wuling. There are two guards around him. One is called Zaide and the other is Wuyong. In my opinion, they are called guards at best, but they are two humanoid monitors at worst. I usually listen to you, but if you want to escape, there is no way."

"and then?"

"Then? Then it is inevitable that you will help your aunt in the battle with the Wan family. If the opponent likes to fight with others, maybe the Lin family will also end up. If you join the Jiyuan Division now, if the situation later is beyond your control, If you can’t solve it, tell me, how can you run away and wait to die?”

"Then if I don't join Ji Yuansi..."

"Yes, if you don't join Jiyuansi, if the family here cooperates a little bit, wouldn't you also make a lot of money? Things are out of control, and you can run away at any time. If the matter is just too much for you to handle, but it is not serious yet Where are you going? This is not good. Joining Jiyuansi is equivalent to a life-saving talisman for you!"

"Oh, there is always a way out!"

"Of course, I don't need to say more about how to choose whether to join Jiyuansi or not, right?"

"Is this egoism?"

"Hmph, if you don't want to be punished for yourself, you can help others, but you have to make sure you can survive first. Wouldn't it be stupid for Mader to die after saving others?"

"But what if the people who need to be rescued are my parents? Is it possible that I have to..."

"This is another question. If the lives of my father and mother are really at stake, then I must save them at all costs... Anyway, it's just a matter of judgment. She is your aunt, but your family relationship should not be enough to save each other. To the point of dying?"

"Uh huh huh." He Jian Chuyun snorted twice, and then asked quietly: "Xuanli, if I'm going to die soon, will you use your life to save me?"

"This..." Shen Yi was stunned. He had not thought about this question carefully at all. He vaguely remembered that she had asked him before.

I seem to have asked this question several times, right?
How did you answer it?

Can not remember.

But to be honest, after getting along so far, if he knew that the old witch would die, he would really be reluctant to let go. He is used to her existence. If she suddenly disappears one day, he is afraid that he will lose some kind of goal. As for whether he will use his Shen Yi couldn't tell if he would save his life. After all, he was really afraid of death and was very conflicted.

People who have not died will never know how terrible death is. It is not a simple death.

The feeling of emptiness after death will only make people miss everything in life crazily, even the suffering in the world, at least that's what Shen Yi thinks.

Hiss~ Why is this question so similar to the question of "Who should be saved first if my girlfriend or my mother falls into the water?"
They are all very difficult.

So Shen Yi curled his lips and didn't answer at all, but asked: "Oh, if it was me who died soon, would you use your life to save me? Really."

"I can!"

After he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes, turned his head, opened his mouth, and sucked out some red and yellow filaments into the altar. But what he didn't expect was that the moment he finished speaking, Tsurumi Hatsuun answered, so fast that he didn't even react. come over.

After being stunned for a moment, Shen Yi didn't hear it very clearly: "What did you say?"

"I said I would."

"Huh? This..." The other party answered so quickly and decisively that he couldn't figure it out all of a sudden.

"Really...really?"

"Yeah, it's true."

"why?"

"Because you are my contract beast, my... relative, okay?"

Shen Yi's eyes were dull. He remembered that Hejian Chuyun had indeed asked him similar questions before, but they all sounded like random questions. His answers were all perfunctory or ambiguous, and he never answered the question. Give it to the old witch.

But today I asked her the question she asked me back, but her answer made me feel at a loss.

"What's wrong with you? With a dumbfounded expression, he was not thinking about this problem at all, he was only thinking about one sentence. no! Are you serious?

He didn't realize that he didn't make a sound, he was just repeating these six words in his head.

How to answer?

Are you just prevaricating or answering sincerely?
But he was really not sure whether he would risk his life to save her after this problem came true.

After thinking for a while, just when he was about to say "yes" to deal with it or comfort the other party, he heard a "dong" sound and the carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's going on in front?" Zhuhong asked the driver driving the carriage in front of her with a puzzled face, but the other party did not respond.

Feeling something was wrong, He Jianchuyun no longer focused her attention on Shen Yi, and leaned over to look outside. As soon as she looked outside, her brows suddenly frowned.

I saw a thick rolling log blocking the road ahead. The sound just now was caused by this rolling log hitting the ground. There were more than ten big men holding steel knives standing around, looking at the car they were riding in with unkind expressions. carriage.

Pedestrians and common people passing by nearby cast curious glances from time to time, but were quickly driven away by the big men waving their blades.

Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that the target was him, but he did not know these people.

Tsurumi Chuyun's brows furrowed even more tightly, but not long after, she seemed to understand something. Her furrowed brows relaxed, her eyes became deep, and there was a flash of coldness.

"Old witch, these people don't look like good people."

Without Shen Yi's reminder, Hejian Chuyun had already taken out the Rainbow-breaking Sword and waited quietly with no expression on his face.

Seeing that the carriage could no longer move forward, the big men outside carried steel knives on their shoulders and walked swaggering towards the carriage.

The driver driving the carriage in front had already panicked and shouted: "Who are you! We are members of the Zhu family! If you want to move us, you have to think carefully!"

"Zhu family?" The big men walking in front looked at each other and laughed the next second.

"Hahahaha! Best wishes to the family! Then we really have to weigh it carefully."

"The person sitting in the carriage is the young lady from the Zhu family. Come out and let everyone take a look. If you can't afford to offend, everyone will leave!"

"People in the car, please come out and stop hiding."

"What are you looking at over there! Get out of here! You're looking at something you shouldn't be looking at, be careful your life is at risk here!"

Seeing how arrogant these people were, the coachman didn't know what to say. He originally wanted to scare the Zhu family to see if he could scare them away. If he couldn't scare them away, there was nothing he could do. He would just be an ordinary coachman. , he didn't even have a chance to fight back against these big men.

Regarding the identity of Tsurumi Chuyun, rumors have spread since she entered the Zhu Mansion yesterday. Of course he knows that Tsurumi Yanqiu is only the nominal mistress of the Zhu Mansion, and Tsurumi Chuyun is just a comer. A bereaved dog who has gone to seek refuge with his relatives is not as powerful as the most marginalized concubine of the Zhu family. What power can he have?
Precisely because of this, he did not dare to speak, and tremblingly prayed that the other party was only looking for Tsurumi Chuyun, and just pretended that he did not exist at all.

Maybe the prayers really worked. These big men just laughed and taunted him at first, then ignored him and strode to the carriage. Without asking the people inside if they agreed, they just pulled the carriage and looked in. .

When he saw the appearance of the two people inside, the man was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the others, and said in surprise: "Everyone! Come and see! There is a girl inside who looks so good!"

"Let me see... eh!"

"Get out of the way! I want to see what it is."

"Stop crowding!"

"..."

Tsurumi Chuyun had a cold face the whole time, but this expression only made the big man outside even more excited.

"That little look! I like it!"

"It seems that our boss has sent us a big job!"

"Girl! Just tell me, how about coming with me?"

Zhuhong in the carriage was so scared that she clung to Tsurumi Chuyun, holding her sleeves with her hand and a nervous look on her face.

"Miss……"

After patting the back of her hand, Tsurumi Chuyun acted very calmly, but his eyes flashed with cold murderous intent from time to time. In her eyes, these people were already dead.

She did not take action immediately, but looked at a big man who stuck his head into the car and asked in a deep voice: "Are you sent by Zhu Birong?"

"Huh? How do you..."

"Zhu Birong? We don't know Zhu Birong. Come down quickly and follow me."

"Where are you taking me?"

"Where else can I go? He's so handsome, it would be a pity not to be the top star!"

"I'll give it to the boss. Maybe our brothers will meet again tonight! Isn't that right?"

"Hahaha yes!"

"Come down! Stop Mo Ji! If Mo Ji continues, your legs will be broken!"

"Did you hear that, little lady? If you don't come down, these brothers of mine will break your legs and feet."

The big man in the lead smiled and threatened. Tsurumi Chuyun's expression did not change, but his voice became colder: "I will give you ten breaths to lift the things in front and let us pass, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

The other party didn't take her words seriously at all, and still smiled and said: "How can you be so polite?"

"You can try."

"Haha, just give it a try! Brothers, did you hear what she said? She said she was going to be rude to us!"

"Hahahaha!" All the big men burst out laughing, but little did they know that the God of Death was approaching quietly.

He saw that Chu Yun had stopped talking and was counting down silently in his heart.

The time for ten breaths came soon. The big man in the lead looked inside the carriage again and mocked: "Little lady, the time is up, tell me, what do you want to do to me..."

puff~
Just as he was about to speak, a sharp sword energy flew out, without giving anyone any time to react, and pierced his forehead on the spot, leaving a bloody hole that was astonishing to the eye.

The big man who took the lead in speaking had a frozen expression and fell straight to the ground the next second without even leaving any last words.

For a moment, the surrounding air became quiet, and it took several seconds before anyone came back to their senses.

"Dead... dead?"

"This bitch killed our people!"

"She's looking for death!"

"Kill her!"

"Brothers! Come on!"

"what!"

The screams of the leading man when he died were clearly seen by Zhuhong in the carriage. She screamed and subconsciously wanted to catch Tsurumi Chuyun, but when she turned around, she didn't know when she had gotten off the carriage. He holds a sword in one hand, his clothes are as red as blood, and his eyes are filled with murderous intent.

More than ten big men with weapons swarmed forward, but the sword light flashed across, and blood, severed heads and swords flew into the air.
