Zhao Xiaolu said with her head down, "Sister Man Ge told me to learn from Cheng Cheng, saying that you have a habit of taking baths and scrubbing your back at night. I'm afraid I can't learn it..."
"What are you afraid of? I'll teach you right now!"
Su Yang took Zhao Xiaolu's hand and sat down, teaching her how to scrub.
Zhao Xiaolu flinched her hand, her face turning pale with fright.
"Director, you're too scary, I won't learn anymore..."
"That won't do. The arrow is on the string and must be fired. Come closer."
Su Yang was unwilling to let go of Zhao Xiaolu and pressed her head.
"Mmm, it tickles, it's so uncomfortable..."
...
Songhai, a certain courtyard.
He Ying looked around, saw no one following, and pushed the door open.
"Kawashima Naizi, where are they?"
Naizi bowed respectfully upon seeing He Ying, "Young Lady, they have gone on a mission."
"Are they still assassinating Dragon Country people?"
"Yes, this is the order of the Hall Master, so they go to assassinate Dragon Country people at irregular times every day."
He Ying rubbed her head, recalling Su Yang's words.
"Contact them to come back. Don't make any moves recently."
Naizi was puzzled, "Young Lady, why is that?"
"Su Yang has mobilized the soldiers of the Security Bureau, and with his bodyguard group, they have set up a net, waiting for you to die."
He Ying continued, "Moreover, Su Yang has already captured one of us alive, named Yamamoto Ichiro!"
Naizi's body trembled, her face turned pale.
Yamamoto Ichiro had just slept with her, and now he was captured by Su Yang?
The Sang Country warriors she thought were invincible couldn't escape Su Yang's clutches?
He Ying saw her pale face, "What's wrong?"
"Young Lady, the night before last, I was with Yamamoto Ichiro..."
He Ying sighed, "You have guarded yourself for many years. I didn't expect that after finally finding a man, he's gone just like that."
"Don't worry, I'll arrange for an honest Dragon Country man to marry you later. You can stay in Dragon Country and live well, and gather information."
He Ying and Naizi didn't know that the one who slept with Naizi was not Yamamoto Ichiro, but Su Yang.
Who knew what expressions they would have if they found out later.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
One day, He Ying came to find the assassination hall members again.
Mitsuhashi Nakamura and Naizi gathered all the members, a total of fourteen people.
They were all top experts from Sang Country, and now they gathered to discuss the rescue of the hostage.
Kawashima Naizi said, "Everyone, we cannot abandon Yamamoto-kun. He is still alive."
Mitsuhashi Nakamura nodded, "A while ago, Yamamoto-kun single-handedly killed more than a dozen Songhai Security Bureau soldiers and many Dragon Country people. He is an excellent Sang Country warrior, and we should not abandon him."
"Yes, I agree to rescue Yamamoto-kun. The people of Dragon Country are all trash, we don't need to be afraid of them!"
The members of the assassination hall were very confident in their strength and did not take the Dragon Country people seriously at all.
He Ying was troubled, "No, I said Su Yang has prepared an ambush. If you go to save him, you will surely die!"
Kawashima Naizi said, "Young Lady, the reason I am saving Yamamoto-kun is not reckless. I have investigated. Su Yang's men are parading Yamamoto-kun around the city. There will surely be many people along the route.
Think about it, does Su Yang dare to order his subordinates to open fire? He doesn't dare, but we don't care, so even though we are few, we have an advantage."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Naizi's statement.
There would definitely be many onlookers on the street, and they could use this to rescue the person, as Su Yang would not dare to order his men to shoot.
As for close combat, they were assassins and were not afraid.
Mitsuhashi Nakamura looked down at the information in his hand, "Young Lady, don't hesitate. Su Yang's men are parading Yamamoto-kun around the city."
He Ying frowned, "Su Yang himself didn't appear? Could it be a trap?"
"It's normal for him not to appear. After all, he has many women now, maybe he's sleeping with a beauty!"
"Alright, let's go!"
He Ying's eyelids kept twitching. She had a feeling that something big was about to happen, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
The fifteen people left the courtyard one after another and headed towards their destination.
...
Songhai, East Street.
In an iron cage, Su Yang was disguised as Yamamoto Ichiro.
To achieve the desired effect, he even bought horses to pull the prison cart, like ancient prisoners being paraded.
The people along the way were confused. They heard that the person in the prison cart was a Sang Country warrior who had killed many people in Songhai.
So, the passers-by threw cabbages and eggs at "Yamamoto Ichiro."
Jiang Hei and four D-class prisoner masters, dressed in Security Bureau uniforms, guarded the sides of the horse-drawn carriage.
He Ying and her group arrived amidst the crowd.
Kawashima Naizi pointed at the "Yamamoto Ichiro" on the carriage, confirming it was him.
"Young Lady, it's him, shall we make our move?"
He Ying said, "Leave immediately after rescuing him. Absolutely do not get entangled with the Security Bureau soldiers, lest they all arrive."
"Yes!"
Mitsuhashi Nakamura and Kawashima Naizi waved their hands, each leading a small team, squeezing through the crowd and rushing forward.
Jiang Hei shouted, "Enemy attack!"
Mitsuhashi Nakamura and others raised their guns and fired at the Security Bureau soldiers, and several fell instantly.
Seeing the gunfight on the street, the onlookers screamed in fear and fled.
Jiang Hei saw how chaotic the crowd was and ordered not to fire, so as not to harm innocent people.
Kawashima Naizi jumped onto the carriage and pointed her gun at the lock.
With a "bang," the lock exploded.
"Yamamoto-kun, quickly come with me."
Kawashima Naizi pulled "Yamamoto Ichiro" off the carriage, while Mitsuhashi Nakamura led his men to cover their retreat.
"Young Lady, let's hurry!"
He Ying's brows were tightly furrowed. The rescue of the hostage was too smooth, and so far, none of her people had been injured.
But now, they could only escape as the Security Bureau soldiers behind them were catching up.
The sixteen people quickly darted into an alley, making left and right turns to shake off those behind them.
Sweat dripped from Kawashima Naizi's forehead, and her breathing became rapid.
"Young Lady, why don't we go back to the courtyard?"
He Ying said in a deep voice, "Haven't you noticed? No matter how many turns we make, they can still catch up. Don't you find it strange?"
Everyone looked back, and indeed, the Security Bureau soldiers were pursuing them.
Mitsuhashi Nakamura said, "Young Lady, you and Naizi go first. We will hold off those annoying bugs!"
"Be careful. If it's really impossible, escape to the old place. We have people there to meet you."
He Ying instructed, and then continued to flee with them.
"Yamamoto Ichiro"'s eyes flashed with a cold light. There was actually a Sang Country stronghold in Songhai.
"Young Lady, I think the courtyard might be exposed. Why don't we go to the stronghold and wait for Mitsuhashi-kun and the others?"
He Ying thought it made sense, so she led them to change direction.
...
The group fled for another half an hour.
Kawashima Naizi's body trembled, she was drenched in sweat, her face was pale, and her lips were cracked.
He Ying noticed her abnormality, "Naizi, you are strictly trained, how can you be so tired after running for only an hour?"
"Young Lady, I don't know either. I just feel weak all over, dizzy, and I can't walk anymore. You should escape quickly..."
With that, Kawashima Naizi collapsed to the ground.
