In the dead of night, the melodious sound of the flute comes from afar, and the tune is tortuous and eerie.

Feather Heart woke up from her sleep and sat up abruptly. Shenma Fox, who was also sleeping next to him just now, also opened his eyes suddenly because of this sound, but Su Lin and Su Zhu, who were nesting on the small collapse, did not reflect at all.

"Shenma Fox, why do I think this voice makes me very uneasy."

"The fox also feels like this, master, you be careful, the fox goes out to see."

"Wait, don't go." In the past, Shenma Fox said that she would run out, but today Yuxin stopped it, because she was very uneasy in her heart, for fear that Shenma Fox would be caught by someone. In the previous situation, it seems that many people have doubted Shenma Fox and want to take it for themselves!

The night was a little quiet, and there was no movement except for the sound of the flute. Feather Heart and Shenma Fox sat on the bed, pricking up their ears and watching, until they thought they were thinking too much, and there was a commotion from the backyard of the inn.

"Su Lin, Su Zhu!" Yuxin screamed, and the two of them opened their eyes in a daze. The road was bumpy, and they needed to rest even if they were beaten with iron, so Yuxin let them fall asleep in their own rooms, and there was no need to stay at all in order to keep their karma. And the sound of the flute was not very loud, and it was not strange that they did not wake up.

"Princess......" Su Lin reacted the fastest, immediately got up from the couch, put on her clothes and came to Yuxin's bed: "But what are the orders?" ”

"You two get dressed and on guard, Princess Ben thinks something is going to happen tonight." As soon as Yu Xin's words fell, there was a scream like a ghost crying wolf from the backyard. The screams were filled with horror and despair, sending chills through the listeners' bodies.

"W, what the hell is going on?" Su Zhu also ran over, and the voice scared her enough, and she spoke with a trill.

"I don't know, you don't need to be afraid, there are guards outside, even the assassins can't attack it." Yu Xin comforted Su Zhu and Su Lin, in fact, these two girls are not very old, although they look stable on weekdays, they are only fourteen or fifteen years old. In modern times, it's still a child!

"Slaves are not afraid." Su Zhu and Su Lin said in unison, and then stood beside Yu Xin.

Shenma Fox once again said to Yu Xin that he wanted to go out and have a look, but Yu Xin still disagreed. She glanced at the closed doors and windows, and her hand touched the bloodthirsty soft sword at her waist.

The agitation outside didn't stop until dawn, and after it was quiet, Yuxin asked Su Lin to open the door and take a look. I saw the guards on the three floors inside and three layers outside the door of Yuxin, and the entire corridor was airtight.

Yu Xin glanced at the situation outside, opened the window and looked, and the same was true under his own window. I only heard footsteps at night, and because the situation outside was unknown, I didn't open the doors and windows to check.

"Your Highness the Princess!" When the guards saw the door open, they hurriedly saluted Yuxin. Yu Xin glanced at them, saw Du Qingcang among the guards, and asked him, "General Du, what happened last night?" ”

Du Qingcang, who was named, took a few steps forward, and Yu Xin raised his hand to let him in the door. "Back to the princess, something happened to the assassin who was guarded last night."

"Oh? Could it be that someone came to their rescue? ”

Du Qingcang shook his head, his face grim. "It's not like that, it's the little boss of the Assassins who has gone crazy......" At this point, he didn't continue, as if something very bad was going on.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xin didn't continue to ask about it, but just asked about the other people.

"Your Royal Highness the princess doesn't have to worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is fine, and the others have not come out of the room." This important master is in the room on this floor, and this dense guard protects them in addition to protecting Feather Heart, so there is no need to worry.

Not long after, the guards dispersed, and only four people remained at the door of each room. Yi Xun also hurried over, Du Qingcang gave Yi Xun a salute and retreated.

Yi Xun was full of exhaustion, and sat directly on the chair when he entered the door. Yu Xin hurriedly poured tea for him personally: "Busy all night? ”

"Hmmm! Didn't scare you, did you? ”

"No, I still don't know what's going on, what's there to be afraid of?" Yu Xin looked at Yi Xun with a little doubt, Du Qingcang didn't say anything about it just now.

As soon as he said this, Yi Xun knew that Du Qingcang didn't say it. He thought for a moment before he said, "Things are quite weird, do you want to listen?" ”

"You say, I don't know, I'm going to think about it."

"Come here!" Yi Xun beckoned to Yu Xin, and Yu Xin walked over obediently and let him hold his hand. In the past two days at the inn, they have had a chance to get closer.

Yi Xun pulled Yu Xin to sit down beside him, and then slowly spoke: "Zhao Ding is crazy, kill the other assassins, and then ......" Yi Xun glanced at Yu Xin again, confirming that she could withstand what she said, and then continued. "He swallowed them all before they were dead."

"Swallowed? What do you mean......" Yu Xin's eyes widened, completely incredulous, and he felt that it was definitely not what he thought.

However, she saw Yi Xun nodding: "That's what you think, in addition to those assassins, the two guards guarding them have also been gnawed off most of their bodies, and they can't survive anymore." When Yi Xun rushed over, the two men were still alive, screaming, full of horror and despair, and blood was spilling all over the ground. Zhao Ding was afraid when he saw that Yi Xun had brought many people over, but he still fought with Yi Xun's people for a long time, and finally fled with a rapid sound of flute. After he walked away, Yi Xun saw that there were a lot of corpses and broken bones left in the firewood room, which were left behind by the assassins who had been swallowed by Zhao Ding.

"Even if Zhao Ding is crazy, he won't eat people! Do you hear the sound of the flute? Yu Xin also felt a little scary, but she could still analyze these rationally.

"I heard it, and the former guard also said that there was something wrong with the sound of the flute."

"Yes, the sound of the flute made me and Shenma Fox feel very uneasy."

Yu Xin and Yi Xun discussed this, Su Lin and Su Zhu next to them were already pale with fright, since they were children, they had never heard such a terrible thing, even if they listened to the ghost stories told by the old man when they were children, they were not as terrible as the things that happened around them in front of them. You know, they've seen Zhao Ding and those assassins before. Such a terrible event at close proximity made them shiver all over their bodies, for fear that this terrible thing might happen to them at some point.

Because of this incident, everyone was a little nervous, and the most angry was Gu Yishan. In order to study those assassins, he spent a lot of effort, even the pills that were distributed to them every day to prolong their lives, and they also added a lot of rare herbs. He is equivalent to making a bloody investment, but Zhao Ding's madness made him lose all his money.

Fu Mingyu was busy persuading on the side, for fear that Gu Yishan would be angry because of this. Gu Yishan is no longer a young man, and he will get married after rushing back to the imperial city, so he must not be in a hurry because of this matter at this time.

Gu Yishan also knew this, so after muttering and scolding Zhao Ding for a while, he took Fu Mingyu to the place where the assassin was held before. He was going to see the corpses before they were cleaned up.

These stumps and severed arms carried a thick black gas, and they had begun to rot in less than half a day, and the entire backyard of the inn was filled with a fishy smell, which made people sick. However, Gu Yishan and Fu Mingyu shuttled through it without changing their faces, as if they were finding something valuable from them. It's just that these things carry some unpredictable viruses, and even Gu Yishan doesn't dare to touch them easily.

After a while, he said, "Hurry up and burn it, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

The result of this night's uproar was the death of those assassins, and the loss of a small assassin leader, Zhao Ding, made people feel extremely unsteady.

Who knows, at the end of noon, a guard hurriedly reported to Yi Xun, saying that King Xiaoyao and Zhao Peng beside him were gone.

"What? When did you find out what was missing? Have you looked for it all nearby? Yi Xun stood up from the chair all of a sudden, he was a little worried about Murong Shengxin, after all, he was related to himself, although the two were not in harmony, he didn't want Murong Shengxin to die by his side.

"At lunchtime, my subordinates knocked on the door, but no one answered in the room, and my subordinates at first thought that King Xiaoyao was resting. Later, I was afraid that the King of Freedom would be hungry, so I went to call the door again, but there was no movement in the inside, and the subordinates were helpless to break in, but there was no shadow of the King of Freedom in the room, and a few people who were close to the King of Freedom were killed, only King of Freedom and Zhao Peng were gone. ”

Hearing this, Yi Xun's face was suddenly covered with frost, such an obvious thing was that Murong Shengxin killed the guards and ran away. "Send a few people to keep looking." °C≡ °C≡ °C≡ °C≡

"Yes!" The guards immediately gathered people to look for him, and they were glad that Yi Xun was not angry with him.

Yu Xin saw that Yi Xun was angry, so he also guessed something. Asked: "Do you suspect that Murong Shengxin colluded with Murong Shengwei?" ”

"The facts are in front of him, and he still took this path in the end." Actually, Yi Xun is not surprised at all, they are the brothers of the same father and mother, Murong Shengxin did it completely in self-preservation before, and Murong Shengxin is now bent on getting the heart of the feather, if the soft one fails, I am afraid that it will be hard. "Xin'er, I'm afraid this road is getting more and more unpeaceful."

Yu Xin smiled when she heard this: "Since the day I agreed to marry you, I have known that it will not be peaceful. But so what? ”

Yi Xun smiled relieved because of Yu Xin's words: "Yes, we have thought of it a long time ago, haven't we?" Look what I'm still struggling with this! Don't worry, I'll protect you! ”

"Well, you must protect me well." Yu Xin lowered her eyes and said, she used to be his secret guard, and she needed to be the first to rush in front of him when something happened. Now, their positions have been reversed, and this is the most correct positioning for each other.

A man is a woman who wants to be strong and protect himself. Even if Yuxin has the ability to protect herself, she must also seek protection. Only in this way did Yi Xun feel that he was valuable and that this little girl really belonged to him.
