After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 340: Becoming sworn brothers with Duke Shen

Although Shen Nanzhi had recovered a lot, the dagger was poisonous after all, and it would take a while to clean it out. He needed to go in again and recuperate slowly.

Just because she was afraid that people outside would worry, she came out to say hello first.

She didn't expect that the middle-aged man who helped her was also at her home. She was very surprised. Who is this man?

Jiayi quickly introduced him: "This is a distinguished person from the capital, helping us to wipe out the Ruyi Sect. The higher-ups have been ruthless and will never allow this kind of uncontrolled killer organization to exist.

Young Master, just rest and recover, and leave the rest to us."

"Really? That's good. The court is finally doing something serious. Brother Xiu, are you used to living at home?"

"Fortunately, this kang is very comfortable. My old waist has been injured. I don't want to get up after lying on it all night. Go in quickly, don't catch a cold. I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet."

Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "It should be."

The two went into the house to chat, while Jia Yi and his men continued to search the Ruyi Sect's base. It must be said that Shen Nanzhi was a bit lucky, as he actually found them in a cellar.

As soon as Jia Yi took down this stronghold, the Ruyi Sect was completely wiped out in the county, which was considered a victory in the first battle, and Jia Liu's life was also saved.

As soon as Jia came back and told Shen Nanzhi the good news, he saw an incense table in the middle of the yard. She and Lord Shen were kneeling on the ground with serious expressions. He had a bad feeling: "What are you doing?"

"We swore an oath of blood and became sworn brothers. From now on, Brother Xiu is my half-brother. We don't ask to be born on the same day or year, nor do we ask to die on the same day. We only ask that while we are alive, we can drink and eat meat together and enjoy a happy life."

"Well said, Brother Nan. I knew you were someone important the first time I saw you. With such amazing skills, you are worthy of being my little brother. From now on, I will protect you. When you arrive in the capital, I will ensure that you can walk around freely."

"Then I won't be polite. I'll drink first as a sign of respect. I'll thank you for taking care of me in the future."

Jiayi: “…”

I held my forehead with one hand and thought, Oh my God, what is going on?

The girl was making a fuss, so why did the Duke join in with her?

Before he could finish his breakdown, the two men had finished their wine, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and the sworn brotherhood ceremony was completed.

"Jia Yi, what's up?"

"Oh, we caught them. There are more than ten of them. They are really good at disguising themselves. If I hadn't found the poison on them, I wouldn't have been willing to say they were the killers."

"That's good. Brother Xiu, we won the first battle and took down a stronghold. But I think the Ruyi Sect has countless strongholds. Maybe they have people stationed in every county and state. What are your plans for the next step, Brother Xiu?"

"If it's as you said, then the situation is serious. With so many people deployed all over the world, what does Ruyi Sect want to do?"

If they are given the right opportunity, they will all rebel.

Duke Shen looked solemn, "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. I will go to the capital to personally supervise this matter and make sure all the assassins are found."

"Do these killers have any hidden features? This way they won't kill good people by mistake, and it will make it easier to find them."

A said: "I checked the body and found nothing."

"Wait a moment, let me ask."

She found Shen Ziling, who knew the inside of Ruyi Sect very well. "Of course there is a mark. All the assassins of Ruyi Sect have a black lotus on their wrists, but it will only appear after washing with special potion."

"I see. That's what I thought. These killers don't know each other. They must have some signs of recognition, some secret codes of communication or something."

Shen Ziling told her the contact code. The potion needed to be prepared. Shen Ziling didn't know the secret recipe, so Duke Shen had to figure it out himself.

When Duke Shen got the information, he was overjoyed: "Brother Nan, you have helped me a lot. If we can successfully take down Ruyi Sect this time, it will be a great contribution for you."

"Brother Xiu, you are too polite. I was just trying to protect myself. This killer has lost all humanity and killed people without mercy. He deserves to die."

"But how did you get this information?"

Duke Shen must get to the bottom of it so that he can reward Shen Nanzhi for his achievements in the future. If anyone suspects her, it will also be easy to clarify.

"I saved one of their assassins and made him my man. These assassins are living a miserable life. I also hope that Ruyi Sect can be exterminated."

"Can I use this person?"

“No, I promised him that I would not let him get involved in these things, and he just wants to live the rest of his life in peace.

He has been controlled by the Ruyi Sect with poison for many years, and his body is already weak. He will not live for many more years."

Duke Shen did not force it: "That's fine, you are a good young man, you have feelings and righteousness. Even if I have all this information and still can't take down the Ruyi Sect, I will have lived to such an old age in vain."

"Brother, I'm sure you can do it, but for Ruyi Sect to grow so big, it needs a lot of money, and it may even collude with the government. Brother, you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, no matter who they are, I won't let them go."

Shen Nanzhi saw that he had a righteous face and clear eyes, and he was an upright person. The world still needed such righteous people to mend the world.

Duke Shen did not stay long and went to investigate the remaining Ruyimen strongholds. This was not something Shen Nanzhi could interfere with.

Jia Yi finally let go of his worries and looked at Shen Nanzhi with a strange look in his eyes, "Girl, how can you become sworn brothers with him? Have you forgotten that you are a girl?"

"Can't girls become sworn brothers? He can call me his sister. This elder brother is quite to my liking. I saved his life, so I won't suffer any loss if I become sworn brothers with him."

"Okay, as long as the girl is happy."

"Is he a high-ranking official in the capital? Can he really protect me and let me walk sideways?"

To be appointed by the imperial court to investigate such a big matter, one must have a high status. Shen Nanzhi became sworn brothers with him in order to get closer to him and develop his own network.

"Yes, this guy is very capable and will definitely protect you, don't worry, girl."

"That's great. I'm really smart. I found myself a backer. Is he of higher status, or is your master of higher status? If Shen Huai'en bullies me, can he help me?"

Jiayi couldn't answer this question. After thinking for a while, he said, "The master won't bully the girl. I'm sorry for her."

"Humph, don't say anything good for your master. Do I need him to feel sorry for me? I've always been the only one who feels sorry for others, so I don't need anyone to feel sorry for me."

Jia Yi sighed, thinking that if his master liked such a strong girl, he would suffer in the future.

Yang Lingyu also came to say goodbye and leave. He wanted to go home and it would be even better if he could help Duke Shen to wipe out the Ruyi Sect.

Shen Nanzhi wrote a letter, asking Brother Xiu to take better care of him, as he was also a victim of Ruyimen.

As soon as they left, the place suddenly became quiet. Doctor Li arrived late. He had gone into the mountains to collect herbs and did not arrive in time.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi was fine, but his face was still a little pale. After all, he had been stabbed in the stomach and lost so much blood.

"How did you get hurt? Be careful. Let me take your pulse."

Doctor Li's eyes were full of concern and a bit of heartache. This injury must be quite serious.

Shen Nanzhi stretched out his wrist and leaned lazily on the chair. "It's much better now. It's a special situation. When you are in the martial arts world, you will inevitably get hurt."

"Stop talking nonsense and disturbing me while I'm feeling your pulse."

Shen Nanzhi quickly shut up. You can't afford to offend the doctor.
