It's not the first time that Bu'an has heard gunshots in the palace.

The last time was the night when Bu Hongxuan was killed.

At that time, the trees fell and scattered, and the entire government was under the control of Tongzhi Zhang Xuanquail, who was also a ruthless character, as soon as his boss died, he took advantage of the situation to cut off dissidents, and in the name of chaos, he really killed a lot of people - because of this, Zhang Xuanquail and Chen Yuanqiao would warn Bu'an not to talk nonsense.

But tonight's gunfire was unusual. The angel came to Jiaxing in person, and if Zhang Hangquail didn't feel that his head was too much of a problem on his neck, he would not allow the slightest fork in the government.

However, instead of being quickly contained, the gunfire became denser and closer. Listening to this formation, it seems that someone has broken in, and the strength is not weak, at least the musket battalion in the government can't stop it.

Bu An subconsciously glanced at Li Yue's words, only to see that he was sitting motionless, with an indifferent expression on his face, and Kong Haoyan was the same, as if whoever showed surprise first would fall behind.

"There are assassins!"

The shouts of the officials were heard from the direction of the gunshots, followed by several screams.

In the courtyard here, in the corners, tree shadows, roofs, etc., very slight footsteps sounded one after another.

Bu An was slightly surprised, the people brought by Li Yue and Kong Haoyan had been hiding in these hidden corners, and he hadn't found out until now.

At the same time, Bu An only felt a faint breath blowing in his ears, and the female ghost ghost said in a loud and glutinous voice: "I'll take a look." ”

Since this female ghost was exposed, it was the first time that she spoke in this tone, probably because she had been too bored recently, and she was suffocated.

Bu An paid attention to the reactions of Li and Kong, and saw that they did not look strange at all, not like they had discovered the appearance of the ghost, and said in his heart that this ghost soft armor was really mysterious, and the female ghost went in and out of it, and even Kong Haoyan couldn't notice it. Shenfang's name of scattered immortals is really not given for nothing.

At this time, the gunshots, shouts, and screams outside became more and more dense, but Li and Kong were still sitting upright.

Li Yue said that Jiangnan is not peaceful. Kong Haoyan replied with a smile, it was quite peaceful, but as soon as Master Li came, snakes, insects, rats and ants all came out of their holes.

Bu An beckoned Su Su to move the small bench closer, and smiled and motioned for her to wipe the rice from the corner of her mouth, but secretly wondered in her heart who the assassin outside would be. Who would be so enthusiastic to assassinate a chincha? Who would the snakes, insects, rats and ants refer to?

At this time, Li Yue said again, whether he came or not, snakes, insects, rats and ants were all there, and Taiping was also a fake Taiping. Kong Haoyan took a sip of wine, shook his head with a smile, and didn't say any more.

Bu An couldn't understand it even more now, when the two of them just joined forces to blackmail themselves, they obviously had a tacit understanding, how could they not agree with each other, and secretly competed again.

At this moment, the autumn breeze is blowing in the small courtyard, the aroma of wine and food is mixed with the faint smell of gunsmoke, and the shouts, gunshots, and fighting outside seem to be weaker. It seems that it won't be long before this inexplicable assassination will come to naught.

But just when the hustle and bustle was about to stop, Bu An got up with a smile and said, "The younger generation has the courage to invite the two elders to visit Nanhu Lake at night......"

Li Yue stroked his palms and smiled when he heard this: "What does Brother Haoyan think?"

Kong Haoyan also stood up with a smile: "I have long heard that Jiaxing Nanhu has the name of 'light smoke and breeze', since Brother Li has this Yaxing, he should be happy to go down." ”

Since the two of them had no objections, Bu An and Su Su led the way in front of them, along a secluded path, and walked to the outside of the mansion.

Interestingly, the trail he picked was heading in the direction where the remnants of the fighting were coming from, but Li and Kong didn't care either, and let him lead the way.

Bu An stopped for a moment at a fork in the road, brushed aside the dead branches, and walked towards the almost impassable garden, Li Yue froze at his feet, and glanced at Kong Haoyan, each with a hint of surprise and seriousness in their eyes.

However, the two men still didn't ask anything, and silently followed.

After turning around and turning around, I don't know how many forks in the road they walked, the four of them finally walked out of the mansion.

Walking along the sparse shadows of the trees on the side of the eight-character wall to the shore of the South Lake, Li Yue said softly: "Bu'an Xiaoyou, if the old man is thirty years younger, he will definitely kill you to feel at ease." ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Bu An caught a glimpse of Su Su's footsteps suddenly slowing down, and immediately reached out to pull her, for fear that she would turn her face with Li Yue, and then replied without looking back: "The old man laughed......

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air from the direction of the government behind the four people, like an arrow off the string, and like a broken gold crack. Bu An subconsciously turned his head to look at it, but he didn't see anything, but the shouts that followed seemed to tear through the night sky.

"Grown, go!"

It was obviously Li and Kong's entourage who died, and not long ago, they had just rushed from the hideout in the corner of the courtyard to exterminate those entourage at this moment.

Bu An realized that the sound of breaking the air was a flying sword, and only felt a slight chill down his spine.

The four of them stepped on the rustle of dead leaves as they ran, a sound that usually sounded quite pleasant, but at the moment it was like a clarion call for life. There is a master of the imperial envoy flying sword in the government behind him, God knows what kind of realm it is, if he hears the movement and follows the sound, it will be dangerous!

Bu An wanted to run slower and lower his voice, but as soon as he slowed down, a short figure swept by...... This little girl is even more afraid of death than Bu'an!

Bu An had no choice but to run wildly, and he didn't even have time to roll his eyes.

Li Yue and Kong Haoyan were also running with official robes, and the previous calm and relaxed state of being out of the dust was no longer seen.

When the terrible screams sounded again, the four of them had already boarded a small boat leaning against the shore of the South Lake.

The cable tied to the willow tree on the waterfront was pinched out of thin air by Kong Haoyan with spiritual power, and the boat slowly drifted towards the center of the lake, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing and rippling water.

There was a growing noise in the palace, with the sound of buildings being demolished, followed by the skyrocketing fires and shouts, begging for mercy, and screams......

I don't know how long later, the firelight that lit up half of the sky dimmed, and the dim starlight reflected on the surface of the lake, like fine pieces of porcelain scattered all over the ground, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the gentle sound of the wind.

"The Jiaxing Mansion is not impregnable...... Assassins are not afraid of muskets, and their cultivation is at least close to the Skyclave, and it is not difficult to sneak in...... Why make such a big move...... Naturally, there is fraud......" Li Yue suppressed his throat and said intermittently, as if he was talking to himself, but his tone was full of self-deprecation.

Kong Haoyan's mood was also different, as if he, like Li Yue, was only hinted at when he found out that Bu'an chose a hidden path to walk, and realized that something was wrong. "Since Xiaoyou has seen the clue, why don't you tell him directly?" he wondered.

"I ......" Bu'an didn't know how to answer for a while.

He really saw that something was wrong a long time ago, and felt that the thief should have used a plan to attack the east and the west and divert the tiger from the mountain, and he also felt that the thief was "showing weakness to the enemy" to stabilize Li and Kong, and he also felt that the thief's "throwing stones to ask for directions" was to test the depth of the manpower here......

But the problem is that Bu'an couldn't figure out whether Li and Kong had fallen for the trick at that time, or had they already seen through it and deliberately waited for the rabbit?

He had the heart to remind, but he was worried that he would save the face of Li and Kong, so he hesitated for a while before using the pretext of inviting the two to visit Nanhu Lake at night.

“...... I...... I don't know how to eat either. He thought about it, but he had to be vague.
