Chapter 131: The Duke of England Hoists White Sails

What is terrible is bound to happen. Seeing the old Duke recover, jumping around and looking more relaxed than before, Shu Yunfu knew that the life condensate must have amazing effects on the old Duke's body.

After the old Duke found out that it was her medicine that saved him, the look he gave her was so meaningful. Shu Yunfu didn't even dare to look him in the eye. She said it was really difficult to lie to such an old and cunning person!

And there was Gu Changting's suspicious look. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted towards men. As a result of this, she was the one who suffered in the end.

But no one knew what the old Duke's considerations were, but he did not ask in detail and hurriedly took his people back to Yuquan Temple. However, Gu Changning was very curious about the medicine in Shu Yunfu's hand, and asked about it whenever he had a chance along the way. Of course, what was more important was to find out if there was any more of this medicine. He wanted to buy it, after all, this medicine might be able to cure his body.

What else could Shu Yunfu say about this? She could only say that life-saving medicine did exist, but it was very rare. She only had two jade gourds on her, one of which she had just used, and the other one she had to keep for her life.

She thought about it and realized that as long as she held this life-saving thing in her hand, it would not be just one life, but two lives.

The old Duke's guess was correct. The assassin wanted to wipe out the entire Duke of Ying's Mansion in one fell swoop. Not only were there assassins going to the back mountain to assassinate, but there were also assassins in the temple who wanted to harm the female members of the family.

Fortunately, the women were protected by secret guards, and the monks in the temple were also very good at martial arts. Although the situation was a bit bad, they managed to protect everyone until the old Duke and his men came to help. Only some unlucky servants were injured or killed.

After such a disaster, everyone in the Duke of England's mansion was in a heavy mood. They had long lost the mood to pray to Buddha and were just dealing with the aftermath with a heavy heart.

Being in this position, they have made many enemies and many people who want to kill them, and they are never safe around them. However, this is the first enemy who has racked his brains to capture the entire Duke of England's Mansion in one fell swoop. With such a big appetite, he is not afraid of overeating.

However, Gu Changting carefully examined the assassins and found no clues on them that could prove their identities. It was as if they appeared out of thin air, and there was no way to find the enemy behind them.

"Could this be the work of the Liang Yi Sect? Their style of action is very similar."

When everyone was in a state of confusion, Shu Yunfu's words made them feel at ease.

Yes, although there is no trace of these assassins, their style of behavior and their audacity are really familiar.

But after making this guess, I felt a little confused. If it was really done by the Liangyi Sect, what was the purpose?

The Duke of England's Mansion is not some powerless cat or dog that can be destroyed at will. They must have a purpose in dealing with such a behemoth when being besieged by the imperial court.

After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why the Liangyi Sect was like this, so he could only put his doubts in his heart for the time being.

With such a big thing happening, it is impossible to pray to Buddha. The old Duke and his wife plan to rest for a night and return home early tomorrow morning. If it wasn't too late, they might have returned home immediately.

Although the assassin did not succeed, after experiencing such a bloody incident, everyone did not sleep well at night. Shu Yunfu was no exception. When she closed her eyes, she thought of the broken limbs and arms seen during the day, and the red blood splattered everywhere. The air seemed to be filled with the smell of blood, and she could not fall asleep for a long time.

Unable to sleep, she simply wanted to get up and walk around, maybe she could fall asleep after being tired. But when she opened the door, she saw Gu Changting who was about to knock on the door, which scared her. He was crazy to come to her at this time!

But it was not until he opened his mouth that I realized that I had expressed the wrong feelings. He came for the medicine today.

"The medicine you gave your father today..."

"I only have one jade gourd left on me, and I can only save one more person. I have to keep it to save my own life."

"Of course you have to keep this miracle drug to save your life, but you need to give an explanation for taking it out in front of everyone today, otherwise..."

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a magical medicine? He wanted it too, but it must be extremely precious. It would be best if there were extras, but if there weren't any, no one would snatch it from her. It's just that he could restrain himself, but others might not. If she didn't explain it well, she was afraid she would be in big trouble.

It turned out that he was worried about her. After realizing this, Shu Yunfu raised the corners of her mouth, threw herself into the man's arms, and told him the explanation she had already thought of.

He simply accidentally saved a dying gangster, and in order to prevent the things in his hand from falling into the hands of his enemy, he would rather give the things to her, and that's how he got this medicine.

This statement is hard to believe, but one has to believe it. Shu Yunfu doesn't know whether Gu Changting believes it or not, but he asks her to remember that no matter who asks, she should say the same thing.

Although the miracle drug is good, it has to take a back seat when it comes to catching the man behind the scenes.

In Yuquan Temple, although they failed to find the person who planned all this behind the scenes, the old Duke and Gu Changting had already decided to take advantage of the situation.

Everyone has been ordered to keep their mouths shut. The old Duke is planning to fake his death, and no one is allowed to reveal a single word. If the mastermind behind this is not found, they may not be as lucky next time.

The monks in Yuquan Temple who knew that the old Duke was fine said they would keep their mouths shut about it. After all, the entire Duke of Ying's mansion was assassinated in Yuquan Temple, and Yuquan Temple needed to take responsibility. If this matter were to get out, no more dignitaries would come to Yuquan Temple.

Fortunately, none of the masters in the Duke of England's mansion were injured or killed. Now, we are not holding them accountable and just asking them to keep it secret. This is already very good and they are happy to cooperate.

Just after returning to the mansion, before they could even sit down on the chair, the mansion was filled with white sails. Everyone took off their expensive ornaments, put on white clothes, with sad faces, and wore mourning clothes.

Kneeling in the corner in front of the mourning hall, Shu Yunfu lowered her head, pinching a handkerchief mixed with ginger juice and pretending to sob softly. To be honest, she really admired the old Duke.

You have to know that in this era, it is really taboo to set up a mourning hall for a person who is still alive. Not to mention now, even thousands of years later, it will be very taboo.

But after everyone was safe, the old Duke made this plan without hesitation, without any reservations. He is worthy of being the one who can lead the Duke of England's Mansion until now. He is courageous and decisive!
So, in full view of everyone, they all returned to the Duke of England's mansion in sorrow. But after a moment, a white sail was hoisted in the mansion, announcing to everyone in the capital that the old Duke of England had passed away.

This time, the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion almost suffered a disaster of annihilation. The old Duke and his men are preparing for a big game, and they will not give up until the person behind the conspiracy is caught.
