Chapter 22 Own way

In the fifth year of Taihe, the second quarter of October, the second quarter of the first month.

Chang'an, Wannian County, Pingkangfang Beiqu.

As soon as An Shouyue's words came out, Xuanji was stunned when she was on the spot, and she swept across the street as if confirmed.

The three suspiciously stalkers were still wandering in front of a few shops as if they were pretending to have nothing to do, but they never stayed far from the porch where Xuanji was standing. It seems that what this hexagram said is true, and he is likely to be targeted......

Xuanji panicked for a moment, she was trembling all over, and her legs could barely stand. In the past few days, there has been a murder in Qingfeng Pavilion, and the victims are sisters he knows; Yesterday, he followed the forbidden soldiers to the Orchid Liquor Store in the West Market, but found that the person who followed him died tragically at the hands of others...... This series of events almost made her collapse. Now that Childe's previous worst concern has happened, Xuanji's already chaotic thoughts have completely become blank......

Why did she move here and still be targeted?

An Shouyo moved forward, and Xuanji could almost count the stubble on his chin. An Shouyo then made a very strange gesture - he took out the three copper coins he had shown her earlier from his waist bag.

Xuanji frowned, and suddenly felt angry and annoyed in her heart, this guy won't come to count the sixth line again, right?

An Shouyue fiddled with the copper coin in his hand, but what he said in his mouth was irrelevant: "Little lady, please come with me, An may be able to help the little lady get out of danger......"

Xuanji came back to her senses at this time, it turned out that this guy was pretending to be the three people who were watching here!

Xuanji's previous fear gradually dissolved, but a series of questions suddenly surfaced in her heart, making her can't help but look at An Shou Youqing and help herself get out of danger? How? Also, how did he know that these three were going to kill him?

Xuanji cooperated with her eyes on the copper coin, and her words could not hide the doubt in her heart, "Why should I believe you?" ”

"Just because An's name is ......" An kept the promise and answered straightforwardly: "Keep the promise!" ”

So you will keep the promise?

Xuanji smiled awkwardly, she met An Shouyue's burning gaze, and the doubts in her heart were still gone. Except for Zhang Yijun, she doesn't quite believe that anyone would really make such a promise. What's more, this half-hu person who has only known each other for a day?

Without waiting for Xuanji to respond, An Shouyue had already waved, flicked his big sleeves, flattened the three copper coins into his palm, and then quickly closed his palms, and said something in his mouth.

"It's for a line!"

Seeing that there was movement on the other side of the street, the killers turned sideways one after another, looking at An Shouyue and Xuanji with vigilant expressions, and their eyes suddenly revealed a murderous aura.

An Shouyue's hands shook violently, and by inertia, the three copper coins in the middle were thrown out to the center of the alley in turn, and An Shouyue shouted loudly, "Scatter the money!" After speaking, he whispered to Xuanji, "Forgive the sin", and then directly took her forearm, pulled her to rush out of the porch, and quickly ran away along the wall.

Seeing this, the three killers immediately rushed towards this side. Who knows that the pedestrians on the street hear the "scattering money", all are surprised, and they are scrambling one after another, although there are only three copper coins, but in order to see the excitement of the people who rush to scramble, they will divide the streets and alleys into two.

After people found out that there were only three copper coins, and Bai was happy, the three killers squeezed out of the crowd, and at this moment, An Shouyue had already run west with Xuanji dozens of steps away.

Xuanji didn't care about it at this time, and he was holding his little arm, and a series of questions that flashed in her mind began to give birth to an intuition in her heart, since the murder of Qingfeng Pavilion yesterday, she ...... Even the fate of the next few days is out of his own hands.

From the first time Zhang Yijun returned to Chang'an and came to Qingfeng Pavilion to look for her, she felt that Zhang Yijun seemed to be investigating some secret matter. Xuanji always wanted to share one or two worries for Zhang Yi equally, but he was always secretive, and it was not until Luo Yao died tragically in Qingfeng Pavilion the day before yesterday that Xuanji really heard some clues.

Xuanji just didn't expect that the matter investigated by Zhang Yijun would be so dangerous!

An Shouyue seemed to be familiar with the road, and he pulled Xuanji through a side street, and suddenly his feet deviated, and the two turned into a narrow alley.

Xuanji knew that Pingkang Fang's Beiqu was different from the West Market and the East Market, and the beams and ridges of the houses were customized, and goods were not allowed to be piled up on the roof, so some of the big merchants in the square often bought some warehouses in Beiqu and used them to hoard goods. And the alley they turned into was the most dense alley in Beiqu Cangfang. The alley is sparsely populated, and the courtyard walls on both sides are of different heights, but they always give people a sense of crampedness.

Xuanji hadn't exercised like this for a long time, and her lungs hurt so much. An Shouyue also slowed down a little. Taking advantage of the respite, Xuanji couldn't help but pant and asked, "Weβ€”Where are we going?" ”

An Shouyue changed his previous noise in the West Market, and silently let go of Xuanji's forearm. They walked forward a dozen or so quickly, and on the right-hand side appeared a tall pine door with a brass lock hanging from it.

To Xuanji's surprise, she thought that An Shou had the key here. Who knew that An Shouyue touched the copper lock for a while, then withdrew two steps, kicked the copper lock, and the hinge of the pine door was directly kicked off, and suddenly fell into the courtyard, causing the house dog who didn't know where in the workshop barked twice.

What the two of them didn't notice was that the three killers had chased them to the entrance of the alley at this moment......

There was no human figure in the front yard. An Shou flashed into the porch and hooked his hand to Xuanji to follow. There were pursuers behind, and Xuanji had no choice at the moment, so she followed An Shouyue through the front yard and into a two-story wooden pavilion at the back of this courtyard.

The wooden pavilion seems to have been rebuilt from a warehouse, and there are still a lot of flower shelves and tile pots stacked on the first floor, all of which have been dusty for a long time. The front yard they had just passed by was surrounded by a few flower beds, which had been planted with exotic plants and the like, but had long since withered because there was no one to take care of them. It seems that the whole compound should be empty.

The two of them sat down with their backs against the wall on the first floor of the wooden pavilion, Xuanji adjusted her breathing, coughed lightly, and asked An Shouyu, "How do you know that there is no one here?" ”

An Shouyue showed Xuanji the dirty ash on his hands, and explained, it turned out that the copper lock had not been touched for a long time, indicating that there was not even a splash of water here, and it must have been abandoned for a while.

"They're not going to chase after them...... " Xuanji said with some concern.

"That's not ...... guaranteed" Fang Cai's wild running did not seem to disturb An Shouyu's breathing, and his tone was surprisingly calm, even a little careless. An Shouyue easily tucked the hem of his robe into his waist, and wrapped the big sleeves around his wrists a few times. He suddenly froze, quietly moved to the door of the wooden pavilion, and poked his head out.

In the front yard, the sound of soo reached his ears.

"Here ......

These simple words made Xuanji's heart "chuckle" when she just put it down, and her breathing stagnated.

An Shouyue put his index finger in front of his lips, and said "silence......" to Xuanji very simply.

Knowing that she had become the object of extermination, Xuanji still dared to make a sound, she didn't dare to shrink in the corner, leaning against a flower shelf. Now there are just two of them here, a hexagram and a Qingqi, both unarmed, how can they stop the three killers wearing long-handled knives and coming to kill them? At the thought of this, Xuanji's thin shoulders trembled, and that heavy sense of fear once again surged into her heart.

An Shouyue glanced at Xuanji, took out something from his arms, and handed it to Xuanji quietly.

Xuanji was stunned, this was a small knife, the whole body was not even more than a foot long, the tip was sharp, and one side was sharp. The most unusual thing is that this knife is still made of bone!

"A-Niang is a native of Mobei Hui, she left it to me before her death, you can take it for self-defense first......"

"But......" Xuanji looked stunned, she saw that An Shouyue had no sword in his hand, "What should you do?" ”

"An has his own way." After An Shouyue finished saying this, the corners of his mouth covered with a thick mustache pulled into a confident smile.
