Chapter Twenty-Three: A Hexagram

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

Chang'an, Wannian County, somewhere in Pingkangfang.

Hearing An Shouyue say this, Xuanji took the bone knife in a sneer, she was born in a teaching workshop, how can she know how to use swords? This short dagger is in her hand, and I am afraid that she will not even be able to defend herself. But her shoulders seemed to have miraculously stopped trembling, and it was a blessing to hear the words of An Shou Yu after hearing the words that had only been made in her chest.

Somehow, she suddenly realized that this hexagram of Hu blood was as if he had changed from earlier, and his deep brown eyebrows and eyes exuded a fierce and murderous aura. Xuanji has also seen many men, and he is very sensitive to this kind of temperament and temperament, but if he is so different from before, An Shouyue is still the first.

Now that the hour was approaching, the morning sun was shining in through the doorway, skewed towards the east side of the Wooden Pavilion, thus casting shadows over the place they were in.

An Shouyue took out another copper coin from his bosom, and leaned quietly on the side of the entrance of the wooden pavilion, his broad chest rose and fell with his calm breathing, and his hands were unconsciously clenched into fists, and his eyes seemed to be able to shoot arrows. One of the three seemed to be wearing a pair of hard-soled boots, and as he walked on the dusty ground, the sound of friction became clearer and clearer from where An Shoujo was......

An Shouyue's eyes suddenly froze, and the shadow of the first person was cast in from outside the door, but after a breath, the figure of that person was revealed from the door, and it was the killer who had been disguised as a Hu merchant in front of the shop on the other side of the street!

An Shouyue flicked the copper coin to the opposite side of the porch, and the copper coin landed crisply, and the first person was already nervous, and when he heard the sound, he immediately looked to the left side vigilantly. And it was this opportunity that An Shou was waiting for, and he then got up and swept his right leg to the ground.

Although the man's skills were steady, he was also unsteady by the sudden attack, and he stumbled slightly. Taking advantage of this momentary gap, An Shouyue's left leg exerted force, pounced, and one hand tightly grasped the opponent's wrist holding the barrier knife, and slightly turned inward, and the person immediately took off the barrier knife.

An Shouyuo's other hand was already prepared, and he took the falling obstacle knife steadily, and stabbed the man in the lower abdomen with his backhand, and did not forget to turn the knife handle twice very skillfully.

During the whole process, the first person was always controlled by An Shou at the narrow entrance of the wooden pavilion, and the other two killers saw that their companions were attacked, but they were blocked outside the door, and they were unable to help. They are very inexplicable, the target was a woman, who is the man who suddenly appeared to stir up the situation?

An Shou was under the promise of a dead hand, and with the miserable howl of "Hu Shang", the man's body also collapsed to the ground weakly.

The second person had already swung his knife and pounced at this moment, and An Shouyue saw that he couldn't retract the knife, so he had to let go of the handle of the knife and dodge backwards. A few severed whiskers fluttered, and the sharp blade of the other party cut a thin blood mark on his chin.

After stiffly dodging the knife, An Shouyue took advantage of inertia, pushed his body to the right, swung his fist up, and hit the opponent's throat with a jab. The man was so painful that he hurriedly reached out to cover his throat, and took three steps back uncontrollably, knocking down a row of flower shelves leaning against the wall with a "bang". Taking advantage of the fact that the other party had not yet eased up, An Shouyu followed up, and the other punch was already waiting, this time he did not go straight to the door or neck, but aimed at the position of the opponent's chin bone an inch up.

He knew that there was a depression on the left and right sides of the man's chin, and a sudden blow here would cause him to faint instantly. As expected, after the other party received this punch, he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground crookedly, unconscious.

When Fang was fighting with the second person, An Shouyue was forced to get out of the way of the entrance of the wooden pavilion, and the third person in brown clothes followed into the house, seeing An Shouyue so fierce, he panicked for a while, he subconsciously retreated, but by chance he caught a glimpse of Xuanji who was shrinking in the corner.

Oops!

Seeing that the other party was going straight to Xuanji with a knife, An Shouyue exclaimed in his heart, and hurriedly pulled out the barrier knife from the lower abdomen of the "Hu Shang" and threw it straight towards the brown clothes. However, although An Shouyue knew how to fight, he didn't know anything about throwing knives, and this throw didn't even hit the man's shoulder......

The tip of the brown-clothed knife stood up and went straight towards Xuanji.

An Shouyue roared and ran hard. The man calculated the distance, and thought that he would not be able to keep the covenant at all. Who knew that An Shouyue actually used his feet hard, pounced forward, and hit the man's back with his head. Brown was unprepared, and the two of them rushed to the corner of the wooden pavilion together.

An Shou faintly heard the sound of the tip of the knife entering the flesh, which made his eyes widen in panic, thinking that the brown-clothed barrier knife had injured Xuanji. He hurriedly got up, only to find that the brown clothes were almost motionless on Xuanji's body, only his calves twitched slightly.

After a while, Xuanji's voice came from under this person, "You help me!" ”

An Shouyue woke up like a dream, and hurriedly leaned over to remove the brown clothes from Xuanji's body. This person's body was heavy, and when he turned over, he found that the bone knife that An Shou had handed over to Xuanji was inserted in the center of this person's chest, and it was right in the heart, and the blood gushing out of the wound had stopped spreading, and it was obvious that this person had died of anger - after all, dead people don't bleed.

Xuanji was obviously also frightened by Fang Cai's tense scene, she gasped for breath, her eyes fixed on the bone knife inserted in the chest of brown clothes for a long time, which was soaked in blood. She had never used a knife before, but she didn't expect to stab someone to death the first time she used it, although the other party hit her with her own open chest......

"Are you alright......" An Shoujo said with a slight concern in his voice.

Xuanji glanced at An Shouyue and shook his head. She was about to speak, but suddenly heard a muffled "snort" sound from the mouth of the killer who had fainted on the ground.

An Shouyue was shocked and secretly exclaimed. He hurriedly turned around, only to find that it was too late, and a stream of blood had flowed from the corner of the mouth of the person who had been punched in the chin earlier.

"What's wrong with him?" Xuanji struggled to stand up, her legs still a little limp.

An Shouyue flicked the man's head a few times, his neck was soft, his round eyes were lifeless, and his pupils were dilated. An Shouyo leaned down, pried his mouth and teeth open, and sniffed his nose slightly.

Really...... An Shou said in his heart, and there was a taste of belladonna in this person's mouth. He turned around and explained to Xuanji that he was afraid that this person had just woken up, and he knew that it was difficult for the enemy to keep the contract, so in order to avoid being twisted and sent to the government, he simply swallowed poison and committed suicide.

Xuanji was shocked and suspicious after hearing this. She was suspicious but nothing else, Fang An Shouyu's skillful and agile skills, as well as her quick judgment of the cause of death, did not seem to be what a hexagram could do.

"How do you do the work that you do?"

An Shouyue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.

"No, no, does the little lady still think that An is a mere fortune teller?"

Seeing An Shouyue say this, Xuanji said bluntly, "Who is it at that foot?" ”

An Shouyue didn't answer immediately, he walked unhurriedly to the corner of the wooden pavilion, pulled the bone knife from the chest of the brown clothes lying on the ground, picked up the corner of the killer's clothes, and carefully wiped the blood stains on it.

"Before An told the truth to the little lady...... An Shouyue turned his head, looked at Xuanji, and smiled indifferently, "Please also ask the little lady to solve An's doubts...... Yesterday, why did a woman wearing men's clothes sneak into the West Market and follow the forbidden soldiers? ”
