Shen Manzhi frowned tightly, his expression cold to the extreme.

Her look frightened Satsuki, who frowned and looked over: "County Lord, what are you thinking?" Shall we let her help? ”

"Will she really help us?" Shen Manzhi slowly expressed the doubts in his heart, and said suspiciously, "What we know about her is completely based on legends, what if she is not like that, when we came in the morning, she just wanted to test our identity?" Doesn't that mean that our whereabouts have been exposed? ”

Shen Manzhi had never seen Su Mian at all, nor had she dealt with Su Mian, especially in this situation, it was even more impossible for her to trust Su Mian unconditionally.

Anyone is suspicious.

Satsuki's eyes slowly widened, and she retorted: "But it's not right, the county lord, if she wanted to betray us, she would have already attacked us in the morning when you were unconscious, but she didn't, and when I said you were the county lord, she still ...... Suffered! ”

Sayue suddenly realized that something was wrong, and slapped her thigh fiercely, and said with annoyance: "Why didn't I think of it before, county lord, maybe your guess is right, this princess is not credible, she heard me say that you are the county lord at that time, and her first reaction was to doubt your identity, she didn't betray us at the first time, she must have determined your identity, and now ......"

Before Sayue finished speaking, at this time, she heard the footsteps of the guards patrolling outside, she frowned slightly, and reached out to hold Shen Manzhi's hand: "County Lord, why am I listening to the footsteps wrong, the number of people is at least double the last patrol, they have added people?" ”

Or has their whereabouts really been exposed, and someone has already chased them?

All speculations seemed to be confirmed at this moment, Sayue stiffened, reflexively protected Shen Manzhi behind her, and said incoherently: "County Lord, what should we do now?" ”

Not long ago, Shen Manzhi felt that coming to the academy was a correct decision, but at this moment, hearing the sound of approaching footsteps outside, at least dozens of people were coming towards this courtyard, and they were undoubtedly turtles in this courtyard, and they could only wait for others to slaughter them.

Shen Manzhi swallowed nervously, and before he could speak, there was a knock on the door, like a rapid talisman.

Sayue trembled nervously, the muscles all over her body tensed, and her expression was cold and serious: "County master, the slave will definitely protect you." ”

Shen Manzhi was also a little nervous, but she also vaguely realized that something was not right, why did the assassin still knock on the door? Could it be a misunderstanding?

Then soon, they heard a soft female voice: "Miss Satsuki, are you still inside?" ”

It was Su Mian's voice, Sha Yuehui glanced at Shen Manzhi, and asked in a low voice, "It's that princess, what should I do now?" ”

Everyone had already found the door, and this was someone else's yard, so they had no way of avoiding it, so they had to bite the bullet and go to see it.

Shen Manzhi gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said sharply: "Go meet her and see what she wants to do, I still don't believe that she really dares to attack us." ”

Although Satsuki was a little nervous, she also knew that there was only this way at the moment.

She took a deep breath and slowly moved over to open the door.

Standing close at the door were Su Mian with a confused face and Gu Zhixing with a cold face, Su Mian had been waiting for a long time just now, and they all began to wonder if something had happened to them.

When she finally opened the door, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that both of them were there: "I thought something had happened to you, can I come in?" ”

She was about to go inside, but just as she raised her leg, she was stopped by Satsuki.

Sayue's gaze fell on the crowd behind, staring at Gu Zhixing's face vigilantly, not letting Su Mian in, and asked, "Who are these people?" Our county lord is going to enter the palace, what's the matter with you bringing a foreign man here? ”

She didn't know Gu Zhixing, and because she was suspicious of Su Mian just now, she didn't even like Gu Zhixing.

Su Mian glanced back, vaguely understanding Sayue's worries, she asked the guards to leave, and when only she and Gu Zhixing were left, she introduced to Sayue: "This is the regent, that is, the emperor's imperial uncle, even if the county lord is going to enter the palace, he didn't say that he can't meet the imperial uncle in advance, right?" Moreover, we came here this time for the sake of the assassins, and the emperor will understand it if he knows about it. ”

In fact, since the incident, although Gu Zhao has always known the latest developments, he has never sent someone to say how to deal with it, obviously he is not very concerned about this matter, and it is a bit nondescript for Sayue to come to the palace to suppress people at this time.

But now, she can only think of this way.

Sha Yue hesitated slightly, and before she could think of how to speak, she heard Shen Manzhi's steady voice: "Sha Yue, don't be rude, since the regent has come here in person, please come in." ”

"Yes, County Lord." Satsuki stepped back, gave up her position, and after the two of them entered, she carefully closed the door again. Peerless Tang Gate fo

Shen Manzhi originally had her back to the door, not wanting too many people to see her face.

When he heard the movement of the door closing, he turned around, and his cold gaze was firmly locked on Su Mian, as if he was carefully looking at this legendary woman, who was sacred.

Su Mian let her look at it, and she didn't mean to be offended too much, and when she had seen enough, she asked: "The county lord is awake, is there anything uncomfortable?" Do you need our help to pass on the doctor? ”

"I'm fine." Shen Manzhi retracted his gaze and said in a dull tone, "Thank you Princess Niangniang for your help, but you just said that you came for the assassin, what's the matter, is there already news from the assassin?" ”

Su Mian shook her head stubbornly under her expectant eyes: "Not yet, we just came here to discuss countermeasures with the county lord, if the county lord can cooperate with us, we will definitely be able to assassinate in the fastest time." ”

Shen Manzhi's face was solemn, and when he heard this, he didn't feel relieved in his heart, but his whole body tightened even more.

After a few seconds, she opened her mouth softly, but instead of asking about it, she asked, "How is the situation on the mission?" ”

Su Mian didn't know how to take this, because she didn't know either.

However, Gu Zhixing, who had been silent since he entered the door, opened his mouth and briefly narrated: "Everything is fine, they have already settled in the post house, and the patrol battalion and the Jingzhao Mansion Yin two groups of people take turns to protect them. It is guaranteed that there will never be any more bad pools. ”

How is everything doing?

Shen Manzhi felt a little ironic for a while, maybe for these people, she is safe, she is okay, everything is fine, but who can understand that the person who died for her was a little girl who was like a sister to her, grew up together, and left her hometown for the first time.

How to explain to her family when she suffers this catastrophe?

Su Mian saw that her face was not good, and said in a soft voice: "The matter has come to this, don't think about it too much, the county lord will definitely help you deal with the next things, you can trust us, your maid Prime Minister has agreed to wait for the matter to be investigated clearly, and send her ashes back to Meng Ke for burial, don't think about it." ”

Only then did Shen Manzhi clearly realize that she might not even be qualified to send Xiaoxi back to Mengke.

Her face suddenly became quite ugly, and she couldn't help but mock: "What else can I do now, no one advises me not to think about it, but it is a living person, now that I am dead, how can I not want to?" You'd better catch this assassin as soon as possible, and I'll kill him with a thousand knives myself!" ”

Sometimes, Shen Manzhi even preferred that the person who died was her.

Since she woke up, her mind has always been filled with pictures of her previous relationship with Xiaoxi, and her mind is full of happy times at that time, and she can't accept the bad news that Xiaoxi has left her.

Sayue stretched out her hand to hug Shen Manzhi, lowered her voice and softly comforted: "County Lord, don't be like this, Xiaoxi won't blame you, and the County King will definitely treat her family well, and everything will pass." ”

couldn't get by, Su Mian quietly answered in her heart.

This kind of thing, others think it's nothing, and even think she's pretentious, but only those who have experienced it know that it is very difficult to get out, and I'm afraid that I will have to live in guilt when I think of this person for the rest of my life.

Gu Zhixing didn't want to take care of her emotions, and said directly: "County Lord, with all due respect, it's useless for you to say this cruel thing now, only by helping us catch the assassin earlier, can you take revenge with your own hands, right?" ”

Shen Manzhi condensed, raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Zhixing coldly from a certain distance, his eyes were undisguised suspicion and vigilance, and his eyes were so cold that they were shocking.

But even so, she still asked, "How can I help you?" What do you need me to do to catch the Assassin, just say. ”

Although her tone was full of ridicule of Xisheng's incompetence, and even her expression was a little subtle, fortunately, she didn't refuse after all.

Gu Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief and said steadily: "You need to reveal your whereabouts and lure the snake out of the hole." ”

Sayue's face sank, and almost at the moment when Gu Zhixing's words fell, she scolded her sharply: "Impossible! ”

Shen Manzhi hadn't reacted yet.

Sha Yue stopped Shen Manzhi at once, her eyes were full of vigilance and vigilance, and she said firmly: "You want the county lord to be a bait and risk yourself, how is it possible?" We won't agree, you Western Sages are really interesting, obviously at the feet of the Son of Heaven, under your nose, you don't have the ability to find the assassin, even if you still want to put the county lord in danger again, is this your ability? ”

At this moment, what Sayue is most taboo and most worried about is that Shen Manzhi's whereabouts are exposed, but these people say it well, and as soon as they come up, they want Shen Manzhi to take the initiative to expose his whereabouts.

What's the difference between that and having her stand up and be a target for the enemy?
