Bloody night

Seeing the silver needle flying towards him, Zhu Xuanzhi was shocked, although his martial arts had been lost, his reaction was still fast, and he immediately turned his body sideways, but he was pulled to the right by someone and dodged a flying needle. At the same time, a white jade tea bowl was pinched by a slender jade hand, and the mouth of the bowl was facing outward to catch another flying needle.

It turned out that Yun Niang pulled Zhu Xuanzhi towards herself, and at the same time picked up the tea bowl to block the flying needle and saved Zhu Xuanzhi. Seeing that the dancing girl dressed in the Western Regions couldn't hit it, she immediately showed the dagger hidden in the waist of the long skirt and stabbed at Zhu Xuanzhi, at this time, Dugu Zhen on the side had already drawn out a long sword and slashed at the arm of the dancing girl, and a sword actually slashed at the wrist of the dancing girl, and the dagger had to fall to the ground without hand.

At this time, the remaining eleven people had already shown their weapons, and the people in the hall attacked. Yun Niang saw that the situation was not good, and shouted outside the door: "Come on! There are assassins in the backyard! Then he picked up Zhu Xuanzhi, who was pulling in his arms just now, picked up the tea tray on the desk, and blocked the weapons of several killers.

This Xiangfei Pavilion was originally a rudder of the Lantern Club in Chang'an, and when Zhu Xuanzhi came just now, Yun Niang had already arranged for people to protect it on the periphery. The people outside heard Yun Niang's call, and immediately flew into the hall from outside the door and window, and the first to come was the Jiang Feng and Jiang Lei brothers, and there was another one, who was actually a horse dealer who sold horses to Emperor Wu that day.

The masters rushed into the house, and immediately protected Zhu Xuanzhi and the others first, and then found the opponent and fought bravely. Dugu Zhen, Yu Wenruo, and Qingshan also leaned on Zhu Xuanzhi and Yun Niang's side to protect them in the middle.

Suddenly, Yu Wenruo jumped on the desk and shouted: "Snake! There are snakes! Look, Dugu, Qingshan, quick! I'm most afraid of snakes. ”

Dugu Zhen and the others immediately looked underground, it turned out that at some point, there were already more than a dozen poisonous snakes underground, spitting cores, twisting and wriggling, waiting for an opportunity to bite people. Dugu Zhen saw these things, and he also frowned, but he was very calm, swung his sword downward, and two snake heads left the snake body. The masters in the hall were reminded, and they also paid attention to their feet and were careful against the enemy.

The killers also seemed to know that this was the helm of the Lantern Society, so they were prepared to do so, and they were all good players. But he still underestimated the strength of the Xiangfei Pavilion, and after a vicious fight, gradually some people fell, and then the number of people became smaller and smaller, and finally they were outnumbered and wiped out by all the people in the Xiangfei Pavilion. There was a strong smell of blood and the foul smell of poisonous snakes in the hall.

Seeing that the killers had fallen to the ground, the people from the Xiangfei Pavilion made up a few more knives on it, and made sure that everyone was dead, so they relaxed their vigilance. The middle-aged horse dealer came over the day before yesterday and asked, "Are you all right, how is Yun Niang?" But his eyes observed Take's body several times.

Dugu Zhen said: "Thank you for saving me, it's okay to be here." ”

"Oh mom, I'm scared to death, what kind of people are these, why did they suddenly come out, why do I look like I'm aiming at Brother Lan?" Yu Wenruo patted his heart and said.

Yun Niang turned around at this time, looked at Zhu Xuanzhi, and asked, "Is the son okay, is there such a thing, it is because my Xiangfei Pavilion is not well entertained, and I still hope ...... Forgiveness. ”

At this time, Zhu Xuanzhi saw that everyone was fine except for a few injured people, so he said: "The bloody rain and bloody wind on the rivers and lakes, which one can be alone, Wen Ruo is right, they are coming to me Lan, and they have affected you, I'm really sorry." Yun Niang, let's take someone to heal first. ”

"Childe, let's go outside, it's not safe here," Yun Niang said.

So everyone came to the outside of the hall, Yun Niang said: "Tonight's matter, Yun Niang will definitely find out and give you an explanation, now I will let you escort your sons back to the house." After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Xuan,

"Yes, no matter who came to me, it happened in my Xiangfei Pavilion, we will definitely give you an explanation, and now I will send you back."

"Okay, then let's go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow, Yun Niang, you have to be careful." Zhu Xuanzhi said.

"Okay, then let's leave first, thank you for your help, and I hope to be more careful." Dugu Zhen, Wen Ruo, and Qingshan also said goodbye. The group passed through the front hall from the backyard and found that the front hall was still full of people, staggered, and laughter, and they didn't feel that the backyard was already a sea of blood.

After Zhu Xuanzhi and the others went out, they saw that someone was then protecting, and it was okay for them to have the Jiang family brothers, but they were really not at ease about the safety of the other three, so they did not refuse. At this time, Yu Wenruo asked, "Brother Lan, why did these people assassinate us?" ”

Zhu Xuanzhi sneered and said, "The Lantern Society is not without enemies in the rivers and lakes, but the three people involved are really frightened by this. ”

"Brother Lan, since we are friends, how can we be afraid of being implicated?" Dugu Zhen said.

"Yes, Brother Lan don't mind, I hope you find out the murderer as soon as possible and solve this trouble." Aoyama also said.

"Okay, Brother Zhen, Wen Ruo. Qingshan, go back first, be careful on the road!" Zhu Xuanzhi said.

"Let's send you back."

"No, there are Jiang family brothers and friends from the Xiangfei Pavilion here."

The three of them saw that Zhu Xuan's mind had been decided, and maybe he had other plans, so they no longer insisted on it, and each of them said goodbye and went back.

After arriving in Taoyuan, the Jiang family brothers escorted Zhu Xuanzhi to the main hall, and Uncle Tian saw that the Jiang family brothers' faces were strange and there were blood stains on their bodies, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, why do you have blood on your bodies?" ”

The Jiang family brothers looked at the blood on their bodies, then shook their heads and said, "We're fine, the gang leader was assassinated in the Xiangfei Pavilion, and we fought with the assassins to leave behind." ”

"What? The helper is assassinated, quick, let me see. Then Zhu Xuanzhi carefully checked it several times, and Zhu Xuanzhi smiled: "It's okay Uncle Tian, it's just a few little thieves, Yun Niang and they have been sent away." ”

After confirming that the gang leader was fine, Uncle Tian said, "What's the matter with Yun Niang, how did you let the assassin sneak into the Xiangfei Pavilion?" Who did it? ”

"It was done by a group of people disguised as dancing girls in the Western Regions, and they were poisonous, and the knives were also highly poisonous." Jiang Feng said.

"The Western Regions? We don't have any dealings with the people of the Western Regions, do we? Uncle Tian wondered.

"That's just killers who take people's money, and they don't need to be held accountable." Zhu Xuanzhi said disdainfully.

"Is there still a mastermind behind it?"

"After arriving in Chang'an, I am afraid that the big heel planted by the prince and the Dugu clan will be counted on my head." Zhu Xuanzhi said coldly.

"Is the gang leader saying that the prince instructed the night demon to commit murder?" Uncle Tian asked.

"It's also possible that Dugu Luo was ordered to do it." Take's speculation.

"Well, in that case, Jiang Lei, you go and ask Aunt Tian to cook a bowl of soothing soup, let the helper take it and sleep first, you strengthen your vigilance at night, and send more people over tomorrow to set up defenses around."

"Yes!"

"It seems that the family in this Taoyuan is not welcome to us." Zhu Xuanzhi smiled,

"Yes, we are guests here after all, in Chang'an, we must have a place of our own, I will immediately arrange for someone to find a suitable place." Uncle Tian was reminded all of a sudden.

"Let's find it slowly, Uncle Tian, I'll sleep first, and call Yun Niang over tomorrow." Taketake's eyes seemed sleepy.

"Yes, please rest first,"

……

Early the next morning, Yun Niang came uninvited, and when she saw that Zhu Xuanzhi had not gotten up, she knelt in the main hall and waited. At this time, Uncle Tian came over and reproached: "You are a helmsman, you don't know that the assassins are mixed in the Xiangfei Pavilion, the main thing is that there is something wrong, how can you and I afford it?" ”

Yun Niang also blamed herself and said: "It was Yun Niang's negligence." The helper almost suffered an accident, and today I came to ask for sin. ”

"Hey, the helper hasn't gotten up yet, so you can wait." Uncle Tian didn't say anything more.

After a while, Zhu Xuanzhi got up, and Uncle Tian came over and said, "Yun Niang is waiting outside early in the morning, is the gang going to see her?" ”

"Huh? So early? Zhu Xuanzhi asked.

"Yes, I haven't sent anyone to call yet," Uncle Tian said.

Saying that, Zhu Xuanzhi came to the main hall, and when he saw Yun Niang kneeling on the ground, he said, "Who told you to kneel, get up and speak." ”

"Yun Niang was negligent and let the assassin sneak into the Xiangfei Pavilion, almost putting the gang leader in danger, so I came to ask for the guilt!" Yun Niang kowtowed.

"You get up first, even if they don't do it in the Xiangfei Pavilion, they will come to the door sooner or later, it's not your fault." Zhu Xuanzhi said lightly.

"Thank you." Yun Niang got up and thanked him.

"Who are the Assassins?" Taketake's asked.

"My subordinates have already found out that the assassins last night were the ones who were in the night." Yun Niang replied.

"Nightshade? Those notorious killer groups? "Takegenyuki knows a little about the Night Evil.

Yun Niang affirmed the words of the helper: "It is the scum of the rivers and lakes who only recognize money and do not pay attention to the rules. ”

"Well, it seems that Dugu Luo was ordered to find those people." Zhu Xuanzhi was sure at once, because the prince was born in the Zhumen compound, and he would not come into contact with these people, only Dugu Luo.

"It seems that the prince has already done something to us." Uncle Tian said.

"Looking for you, it's another thing, Zhang Yue, who had no fish prison a month ago, has been ordered to Jingzhou to thoroughly investigate Ruan Hong's collusion with the temple, the seizure of farmland, and the abduction of Liangshao, it is estimated that there will be news soon, I estimate that Yu Wenshen and Ruan Hong will attack Zhang Yue, you send someone to guard the road from Chang'an to Jingzhou, beware of others, protect Zhang Yue and the witnesses she brought, and let them go to Chang'an safely." Zhu Xuanzhi commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates immediately sent someone to guard it." Yun Niang replied.

"This matter is very important, if Ruan Hong cannot be defeated, then Jingzhou's disaster relief this year will be delayed, and Jingzhou will definitely cause trouble, there must be no mistakes in this matter, otherwise, you will be punished for negligence and dereliction of duty." Zhu Xuanzhi said sternly.

"Rest assured, my subordinates will never dare to make a mistake this time." Yun Niang said firmly.

"Yes." Zhu Xuanzhi nodded, and then said: "Night Evil, Night Evil, Uncle Tian, you pay attention to the movement of the Night Evil, don't move them, just watch,"

"Yes."

"Looks like I haven't been able to be idle lately." Zhu Xuanzhi sighed and said.
