Hearing someone following behind him, Li Jie immediately became alert and immediately asked in a low voice: "How many people are there on the other side? Is there any danger?"

"There are two women, both old and don't seem to be dangerous, but you can't be careless." The guard reported again. On the surface, Zhu Yunxiu only had four guards following him, but in fact, there were not many secret guards around him, so as long as someone dared to approach Zhu Yunxiu, they would find him.

"Woman? Is this the legendary female assassin?" Zhu Yunxi suddenly showed an excited expression when he heard this, as if he was thinking of some storytellers' fragments.

"Where are so many female assassins? Maybe it's because I'm pretty, so I followed us!" Li Jie gave Zhu Yunyu a blank look, and then said narcissisticly. Although there are many people practicing martial arts in this era, he has never seen any of the legendary martial arts masters, let alone any female assassin.

"Aren't you afraid that my sister will hear you?" Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jie speechlessly when he heard this. Although he was reluctant, he had to admit that Li Jie was indeed as handsome as he was.

"It's okay, the princess and I have a close relationship with each other and have long had great trust in each other!" Li Jie said again without changing his expression. Now Zhu Yunqi was completely speechless. Shameless can really be invincible in the world.

However, Li Jie was also curious at this time why two young women followed him? So he asked the guards not to do anything, but took Zhu Yunxuan to turn his head into a teahouse next to him, and then sat down at the table next to the door.

Sure enough, not long after Li Jie and the others sat down, two girls came over outside the door. They seemed to hesitate at the door, and finally stepped into the teahouse. As soon as they came in, they found Li Jie sitting behind the table and smiling at them.

These two girls are one big and one small, the older one should be fourteen or five years old, while the younger one is only eleven or twelve years old. The younger girl is dressed as a maid, and the blushing girl next to her is a luxurious dress, looking like a wealthy lady.

Seeing Li Jie looking at him with a smile, the lady from the wealthy family also turned red and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Miss, why are you following us?" Li Jie stood up and stopped the other party, but as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the maid looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere?

"No... nothing, we recognized the wrong person!" The rich lady lowered her head with a red face and replied in a crisp voice. After saying that, she pulled the maid next to her and was about to leave.

Li Jie was stunned when he heard the girl's voice. Although he had only heard this voice once, he would never admit his mistake. In addition, the familiar little maid next to him made him confirm the other party's identity.

The rich girl didn't seem to want to have too much entanglement with Li Jie, so she pulled the maid out of the teahouse, but Li Jie suddenly asked, "Is Uncle Hu okay?"

Hearing the three words "Uncle Hu", the girl also trembled and her steps stopped immediately. She was Hu Jiang's daughter. She had been engaged to Li Jie before. Later, Li Jie and Li Shanchang had a quarrel, so Hu Jiang took the initiative to terminate the engagement, but she was a kind woman. Not only did she catch up with Li Jie and want to give money to help, but she also wanted to restore the engagement between the two families. However, she did not expect that in just a few months, Li Jie became the prince's son-in-law.

"Thank you, Brother Li Shi, for your concern, everything is fine!" The lady of the Hu family hesitated for a moment and finally replied softly.

She came downstairs to buy things today, but she didn't expect to meet Li Jie by chance. Although she had never met Li Jie, the maid Miaoer around her had met Li Jie. She didn't know what she was thinking. She actually followed Li Jie for a long time by a traitor, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Li Jie. She wanted to leave quickly, but she was recognized by Li Jie again.

At this time, Li Jie walked to the Miss Hu family and looked at him carefully. He saw that Miss Hu was petite, with an oval face, willow-leaved eyebrows, and a pair of apricot eyes were full of shyness. She kept her head down and did not dare to look at her. Compared to Zhu Yuning's beauty, she was a standard classical beauty in front of her, and her every move was a bit soft.

"Li was in a down-and-out back then, thanking the lady, I always remember that agreement. If the lady needs it, please come to me!" Li Jie said, and thanked Miss Hu. He had long wanted to find an opportunity to express his gratitude to Miss Hu.

When Li Jie and Miss Hu parted, they agreed with each other that if her plan failed and unfortunately died in half a year, she would ask her to collect the body for her. If she was lucky enough to die, she would owe her a favor. No matter what she needs in the future, as long as she could accomplish it, she would never refuse!

"Brother Shi, you are polite. I didn't do anything. Brother Shi is extremely wise, so he can naturally keep the family safe!" Miss Hu also replied with a panic. She was also very concerned about the news about Li Jie. In addition, her father Hu Jiang is also an Jinyiwei, so she knows Li Jie's experience over the past year better than anyone else. Even if Li Jie wants to marry someone else, she has never blamed him.

"Your words at the beginning are already the greatest support for me!" Li Jie smiled again.

At the beginning, Li Jie himself was not sure, and even felt like a butcher knife on his head that would fall down at any time. He lived in panic. However, after explaining his subsequent events to Miss Hu, he suddenly calmed down, as if he had put life and death aside, which led to the smooth implementation of the entire plan.

Hearing Li Jie's words, Miss Hu seemed to have plucked up her courage, and suddenly raised her face and looked at Li Jie boldly in front of her. Her eyes were filled with determination, as if she wanted to portray Li Jie's appearance in her heart bit by bit.

But when she saw the end, Miss Hu's eyes suddenly turned red and tears rolled quietly. She immediately bowed her head and bowed again and said, "You and I have no fate, let's leave now, Brother Shi, take care of you!"

After saying that, Miss Hu was no longer nostalgic and turned around and left the teahouse. This time, Li Jie did not stop him anymore, but sighed and stood there, without saying anything for a long time. If it weren't for the fate, the other party might be his wife in this life.

"What a courage, you actually... are carrying my sister on your back..." At this moment, Zhu Yunxi finally couldn't help but pull Li Jie over and asked in a low voice.

"If I wanted to keep your sister behind my back, I wouldn't have talked with me in front of you for so long!" Before Zhu Yunxiu could finish his words, Li Jie interrupted.

"That's true!" Zhu Yunxiu was stunned for a moment and said to himself, but then he asked anxiously, "Then what is your relationship with this woman? I heard it just now. The relationship between you two is definitely not simple!"

"Before your sister and I got engaged, she had an engagement. She was the woman who had an engagement with me." Li Jie looked down at this time, but she still roughly explained her relationship with Miss Hu.

"I knew! You actually had an engagement, and now you meet again, aren't you afraid that my sister will know?" Zhu Yunxiu slapped the table angrily and said. It would be fine if Li Jie was joking before, but now he actually met a woman who had an engagement, which made him very angry. He felt that Li Jie was betraying his sister.

"We just said a few words, and you have seen them all. What can't be seen?" Li Jie lazily explained again.

"You are quibbling, I'm really going to tell my sister!" Zhu Yunxiu said relentlessly. He felt that this matter was very serious and that his sister must know.

"It doesn't matter. Just say it if you want to. There is nothing you can't see anyone!" Li Jie said with open hands.

Seeing Li Jie's indifferent expression, Zhu Yunyu became even more angry. He immediately decided to tell his elder sister Zhu Yuning about this after returning to the palace. Then let the elder sister settle the score with Li Jie, and see how he can argue?

Li Jie was in a low mood now and didn't want to say anything more. She kept silent on the next trip. Zhu Yunqi was also angry, but the two of them had no communication throughout the afternoon.

When he returned home at night, Li Jie took a bath, then changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep. Today's encounter with Miss Hu reminded him of the days he had tried his best to survive. Although he did many wrong things because of his impatience, he finally survived. In comparison, he is much lazy now than before.

Li Jie had no other thoughts about that Miss Hu. He was just simply grateful to the other party for bringing him a glimmer of hope and encouragement when he was most desperate, allowing him to witness the beauty of human nature. Perhaps this is nothing to others, but Li Jie has always been moved and will never forget this kindness no matter what.

The next morning, after Li Jie got up and washed up, he put on new clothes and entered the palace again. Speaking of which, he made great contributions to Goryeo and Japan, and Lao Zhu had not received any rewards for him. He probably wanted to wait until Zhu Biao successfully lost weight, so Li Jie was not anxious and had been with Zhu Biao for weight loss during this period.

Now Zhu Biao doesn't need anyone to accompany him, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen can go back to class, and Li Jie is also preparing to continue to study at Zuochunfang. However, when he just arrived at Zuochunfang, he was pulled aside by Zhu Yunxi and said, "My sister wants to see you!"

"Do your sister understand?" Li Jie smiled without surprise when he heard this.

"Didn't you say that? There is nothing to be seen anyway, so I told my sister all!" Zhu Yunxiu said with a tooth.

"Is she angry?" Li Jie asked again.

"After hearing this, my sister just said she wanted to see you. She was probably angry and was going to settle the score with you!" Zhu Yunxiu said at the end, and she showed a gloating expression. As a woman, she would definitely not tolerate her future husband having an unclear relationship with other women, not to mention that her eldest sister has a bad temper, so Li Jie must have suffered this time.
