Chapter 21.2
Before her last word was finished, they heard urgent footsteps approaching them, barging into the room were three odd-looking men .
Would this ever end? Thought Murong Yun Shu, grudgingly she asked, "All three of you came to kill me too?"
The three men looked at each other, befuddled for a little bit, the short middle-aged man with what looked like a bull horn protruding near his right ear asked in a surprised tone, "How did you . . . . ?" Half way through his sentence he caught sight of his companion on the floor and shouted out, "Fourth sister!" The others also noticed the masked woman after his shouting, they all pulled out their weapon and ready to engage .
Nie Qing, who was in the middle of tying up the woman chucked aside the rope and wrapped his hands around her neck . He proceeded to looking at the intruders coldly as if to say "I will strangle her if you dare move . "
Murong Yun Shu was relieved to see that, "I was worried that you also won't kill woman . "
The veins on Nie Qing's forehead quivered, but he didn't say a word .
"Let her go, I, Old Tuo1 will let you live . " The hunchback called out .
Murong Yun Shu smiled lightly . She was just about to say something when she felt woozy and wobbly .
"Miss, here," said Lu'er as she brought over a chair .
Murong Yun Shu was pleased Lu'er knew exactly what she needed . She slowly sat down as thought nothing was out of the ordinary, smiling, she said, "I am wondering what have I ever done to offend the four of you that warrant visits at this time of night to have me killed . "
"Oh, you have done a lot more than 'offending' us," said the one-eyed man angrily .
"Is that so," Murong Yun Shu's smile was still amiable and innocent, "Well, I have too many enemies and can't think about it off the top of my head . When have we crossed path?"
Lu'er was sweating, did she not get that they hate her guts?
"Jiang Zhou2 Four Odds!"
Murong Yun Shu raised her brows and searched her memory, "Nope, never heard of it . "
Her words angered one-eyed man and hunchback man, only bull horn man seemed unaffected . He blocked the others from attacking and said, "Miss Murong doesn't belong in jianghu, so it's not out of the ordinary that you have never heard of us . "
Murong Yun Shu was alarmed that he referred to her as "Miss Murong" . She quickly recovered from her bewilderment and laughed, "It seems the enmity wasn't implacable . "
"That's right, we have no beef with you . Your fiancee, Chu Changge, on the other hand, is our mortal enemy! He was the one who lopped off this horn on my head!" said the horned man while angrily pointing at the symmetrical spot by his left ear .
Murong Yun Shu looked at him, then with greatest sincerity and humility, she asked, "You are mad at him for not lopping off the other one too?"
The horn man was about to blow when he heard her continued to say, "It really gives you more characters with just one horn . " He was shocked beyond words, this crazy woman couldn't possibly be the leader of the Jinling Murong House who held control over all the banks in the country . Perhaps they had the wrong person . . . . . . ?
"But, needless to say, every injustice has it perpetrator and every debt its debtor . If Chu Changge was the one who lopped off your horn, you should take it up with him . Getting to me is not helping with your goal of avenging yourselves . " Murong Yun Shu tried to talk some sense into them .
The horn man was still speechless from bewilderment . Yep, definitely got the wrong person . . . .
