EBE Chapter 276 Close Protection
Chapter 276 Close Protection
A moment later, Tang Yu clapped his hands, looking a little bored.
Loss of interest.
"I thought it was a big fish, but it turned out to be such a small shrimp. I was so excited for nothing."
He never imagined that the assassin was actually hired to kill the owner of this cloth shop.
Moreover, he couldn't say who hired him.
It's not that I don't want to talk about it or can't, but that I genuinely can't even describe the other person's physical appearance.
If the other party's background is unknown, then they have clearly undergone professional disguise.
As for why he was hired, Tang Yu initially thought it was because someone had discovered his whereabouts.
He eventually realized that it was a very coincidental and serendipitous event.
The other party seemed to be worried about problems with his cloth, so they hired assassins to kill the owners of the three largest cloth merchants in the city.
And this woman was among them.
Upon hearing this answer, Tang Yu smiled.
As expected, the other party did not discover their whereabouts.
From this perspective, it's still a situation where one side is in the dark and the other side is in the light.
Wouldn't that make things more fun?
However, Li Mengyao, who was standing next to him, was now so frightened that she was hiding in a corner like a little quail.
She looked at Tang Yu, her tone somewhat aggrieved.
"Young master, have you dealt with that person?"
Tang Yu nodded.
"It's been resolved, so please don't worry, young lady. No one should be able to harm you anytime soon."
Li Mengyao's face was pale at this moment. She never expected that she was just acting out of momentary indignation.
Unable to tolerate the oppression of commoners by these nobles, he ended up being killed.
Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the assassin come in.
Although the other party seemed clumsy, Tang Yu easily defeated them.
But she knew that in front of the other party, a nobody like her was simply offering herself up for death.
She immediately turned her gaze to the only man present who could provide her with a sense of security.
When her gaze fell on Tang Yu, her expression shifted before she finally spoke slowly.
"Young master, I have a favor to ask, I wonder if you would grant it?"
Looking at the woman in front of him, Tang Yu felt a sense of unease.
However, he realized that the other person wasn't a bad person, since they were willing to risk their life to provide him with this information.
It would be such a pity if she were to pass away like this.
"Girl, please speak."
"Then I would like to ask you, young master, to protect me personally."
"As for the price, young master, you may name your price as you see fit, is that alright?"
"Close-fitting protection would be difficult."
"After all, although I am currently traveling around Handan, I am also somewhat interested in this case, and I may not have time to protect the young lady closely."
Tang Yu declined the task of becoming a bodyguard and immediately chose to become a Sigma man.
But the woman's next words left Tang Yu completely dumbfounded.
"In that case, I would like to stay with you for two days, sharing meals and lodging. Is that alright?"
"Eating and living together, isn't that a bit much..."
Tang Yu was about to refuse, but seeing the fear and dread in the woman's eyes, he finally nodded.
“Alright, in that case, if Miss doesn’t mind or feel uncomfortable about it.”
"If I were to refuse again, it would seem rather unmanly of me."
And so, Tang Yu came alone, but when he left, he abducted the beautiful proprietress.
On the way back, the two remained silent the entire way.
……
Upon arriving at the inn, Tang Yu looked at his bed and the landlady beside him, his tone hesitant.
"Ms. Li, if there are no unexpected circumstances or special requirements..."
"Then how about Miss Li move to the room I just booked for her next door?"
Tang Yu was completely silenced.
He originally thought that once the other person returned and came to the inn with him, they would part ways.
After all, he had just booked another superior room for the other party, next to his own.
The distance between them would not exceed ten meters at most, so if there was any danger, Qin Yu could rush over to provide support in an instant.
However, it seems that Li Mengyao is currently experiencing a severe lack of security. She refuses to go alone and insists on living with Tang Yu.
Although Tang Yu's bed was large enough, it was still a bit too impolite.
Although Tang Yu was a playboy in his previous life, he still deeply respects the traditions of this era.
While doing this might not cause any harm to himself, it was a tremendous blow to Li Mengyao.
Tang Yu immediately refused.
But Li Mengyao's eyes grew increasingly resolute.
She glanced at Tang Yu and finally spoke slowly.
"Young master, I'm scared, I'm really scared."
“Although I was a businessman before, I had never encountered this situation before.”
"Today I actually watched that assassin die right in front of me, I was so scared."
"If you truly do not wish to share a bed with me, then I may sleep on the floor beside you, seeking only your protection."
Looking at Li Mengyao's appearance, Tang Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
Good heavens, this is really trouble I've gotten myself into!
However, it is not advisable for either you or the other person to sleep on the floor.
As for asking the innkeeper to add a bed, that wasn't so convenient in ancient times.
Tang Yu made a decision immediately.
Anyway, the bed is big enough. If that woman isn't afraid, why should I be?
And so the two ended up lying on the same bed.
However, Tang Yu's mind was not on the beautiful proprietress next to him at all; he only had one thought in his mind.
So what exactly is the identity of this group of people?
He initially thought the group might be after him.
After all, Li Song's letter said the same thing, urging him to leave Handan City as soon as possible, because the other party was likely going to kill him.
However, if the fabrics left behind at the scene were produced by the family that had bullied Ying Zheng in school...
Perhaps their target wasn't even themselves, the mere imperial advisor.
Their ambitions and goals are far greater than they imagine.
Their real target was Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, the first emperor of a unified China.
Someone who has their eye on Ying Zheng?
Tang Yu's mind was racing as he searched for his memories.
He wanted to see who in history would strike against Ying Zheng again.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of any relevant personnel information.
Just then, Li Mengyao, who was standing to the side, spoke to Tang Yu somewhat timidly.
