In the following days, An Su was still studying under the guidance of Mama Xi, as she had said with Gu Wenzhou before, she was not happy. But these days are very comfortable, she protects the people she wants to protect, so there are some sacrifices, but it is inevitable. An Su was sad for a while, and always felt that the matter of going to the vassal country was very far away from him, but gradually accepted it.

Tengling's little girl is still lively, always chattering behind An Su, sometimes she thinks she is noisy, and sometimes she feels that she has added a lot of vitality to Zhilou. But An Su always guarded against her in her heart, even if she did not disobey the orders of the Queen Mother, she was always a little hostile to this little girl.

There was still half a month to go to the vassal states, and I heard that the queen mother had selected a total of twenty-five family members and sent them to five different vassal states, and where each one went was assigned by Ni Zhixing, the head of the eunuchs.

An Su had searched the map in advance, and the closest to her hometown Qinghe County was Zhao Guo, if she could be assigned to Zhao Guo, while protecting her younger brother Shaojun, she could also take care of her second brother Changjun who stayed in her hometown.

I heard that the eunuch leader Ni Zhixing loves money, and if he can send him some money, he may be able to get what he wants. Thinking like this, An Su put out all the things he was carrying this night, took out the valuable ones, and put them into a package together with the rewards he got in the palace, planning to find an opportunity to send them to Ni Zhixing.

I had just packed my things when there was a knock on the door outside. An Su was about to open the door, but he was stunned halfway up his hand, and there was no shadow of anyone outside. There was a lamp in front of the room, and if someone were standing in the doorway, there would have been a shadow cast on the door, but now there was nothing.

An Su had some doubts in her heart, and raised her eyes to look at Tengling's room, which was already pitch black. It's not too early now, and it stands to reason that they are all asleep, and the knock on the door is strange. An Su took a step back and waited quietly, even breathing lightly.

After a while, the knock sounded again, and An Su was so worried that he had to be brave enough to walk over and pull the door open suddenly, and he quickly stepped aside. But there was nothing outside, just an evening breeze blowing in, which made people feel cold. An Su sighed, feeling that he was nervous, and the knock on the door just now was probably just the sound of the wind.

She walked over and tried to close the door again, but when she reached the door, a man in black suddenly jumped from the roof. Before An Su could react, he grabbed his throat from behind. This man's strength was very great, and while pinching her and dragging her into the house, Ansu couldn't make a sound, and could only keep kicking the door frame with his foot.

The man wanted to close the door, but Ansu hooked the door on his toes to prevent him from pulling a bit. The man had no choice but to free one hand to close the door, and Ansu took the opportunity to pull his hand away and shouted "help". Unfortunately, the sound was drowned out in the evening breeze, and no one answered her, and no one rushed to the sound of footsteps. An Su lost the strength on his feet, and the man covered his mouth again, and was dragged into the room at once.

"Who are you? So bold! I am the queen mother's personal choice, and I will send it to the family members of the vassal states after half a month, how dare you touch me! Ansu was thrown to the ground by him and verbally scolded.

"You're Shangguan Ansu?"

"If you know who I am, how dare you be so bold?" Ansu was secretly groping behind him.

"That's right, I'm going to leave in half a month, no wonder I'm in such a hurry." The man in black said bluntly, "It's Princess Lu Yuan who wants your life, I'm just doing things as ordered." There is a debtor and a debtor, don't blame me when you go to the underworld. ”

After speaking, the man in black raised his hand conveniently, probably trying to knock An Su unconscious first, so as not to attract people by screaming again. But he didn't hit this palm, and An Su struggled to the side, took out a vase from behind him, and smashed it at him with all his might. The man in black was ordered to come here, after all, he was not a vegetarian, and he quickly intercepted the vase and blocked it to the ground.

"Miss Shangguan, are you in there?" Suddenly, there was the sound of a bell outside.

The man in black put a dagger against Ansu's waist and raised his head at her, signaling her to respond to the voices outside.

"I'm here, is there something wrong?" An Su's voice trembled a little deliberately.

"I heard a noise inside just now, Miss Shangguan, are you okay?" The shadow of Teng Ling was reflected on the door.

"I'm fine, don't come in, don't come in, I'm the only one inside, really." An Su suddenly shouted this sentence excitedly, which made the man in black a little inexplicable.

"Oh, then I'll go back to sleep first, and Madame should go to bed early!"

"Ma'am?" The man in black stared at An Su suspiciously, "Aren't you Shangguan Ansu?" Didn't Shangguan Ansu send the sons of the family to the vassal states? Why does she call you Madame? ”

An Su was about to answer him, but suddenly stared behind him with round eyes, with a panicked look: "You, why are you here?" ”

The man in black turned around in surprise, and An Su quickly pushed away the dagger he was holding at his waist and ran towards the door as fast as he could. The man in black reacted quickly, and directly stepped forward a few steps to grab An Su's shoulders and pull her back. But before she could do it, Ansu had already opened the door a crack.

Tengling, who was hiding outside, immediately kicked open the door, popped out a few flints with both hands, and lit the lights in the room. The man in black was exposed to the light, and for a moment he was stunned, and then Teng Ling rushed forward to fight him.

An Su originally just wanted to inform Teng Ling of her situation, so that she could find someone to help, but she didn't expect that she rushed in alone, and with such martial arts, she seemed to be able to make a draw with the man in black. An Su realized that the person who could work under the Queen Mother would naturally not be just a little girl who didn't know anything about the world.

Although this room is slightly larger than the place where the average palace maid lives, there is not much space left in the room for fighting. Ansu stood in a relatively safe corner, trying to rush out and call someone to help, but she couldn't find the opportunity.

The two of them struggled for a long time, and because of the difference in physical strength, their physical strength gradually became inferior. The man in black took this opportunity to attack An Su again with a dagger.

An Su was in the corner, and there was nowhere to hide, so he could only reach out to pick it up, and if he was lucky, he might be able to leave a life. But when the hands were stretched out, the expected pain did not come, but a muffled grunt was heard. An Su opened her eyes suspiciously, only to see Teng Ling blocking in front of her, and the dagger was pierced on her shoulder.

The black man was also shocked when he saw that it was not his target, and at this time, Teng Ling pulled the dagger out of his shoulder without fear of pain and quickly pierced it into the heart of the man in black. This time the piercing was very accurate, the man in black widened his eyes in disbelief, took two steps back, and fell to the ground at once, never to get up again.

Xu heard the sound of the fight here, and at this time the eunuch rushed over with someone. Ansu helped Tengling out and pressed his hand on her shoulder, and the blood still flowed out.

"Quick, take her to heal!" This is the first time An Su has shown concern for Tengling, although she is a person sent by the Queen Mother, she really seems to be on her side.

An Su felt guilty, so he stayed by Tengling's side. She should have practiced martial arts all year round, and even if she was injured, her mind was still clear. After taking the medicine, he smiled sweetly at Ansu like no one else. The smile reminded her of Chu Ruo, who was both people with pure smiles.

"Miss Shangguan, are you alright?"

Ansu shook his head: "I'm fine. It's so dangerous, why do you want to help me block this knife? ”

"The Queen Mother said that she sent me here to protect the girl, if you don't protect it, I will be sent back to the Agarwood Courtyard to take care of those crazy concubines." Teng Ling said suddenly a little embarrassed, "And I think...... I think you're very good, girl, good to the palace people, and good to me, much better than the eunuchs who are always angry in the Agarwood Courtyard. ”

"You used to be in the Agarwood Temple?" An Su felt a little strange, "How could a young and lively girl like you be sent to work in such a place?" ”

"When I first entered the palace maid's house, I happened to have a person sent to the Agarwood Academy, and I didn't have the money to give the assigned grandmother and eunuch, so this errand fell on me." Teng Ling said a little aggrieved.

"How long have you been there?" An Su suddenly felt a little distressed, Tengling looked about the same age as her, and she had also seen the place in the Agarwood Courtyard, so she knew what the situation was inside.

"It's been about three years." Teng Ling explained, "Later, the Queen Mother wanted to find some palace maids who knew martial arts, so that those who met the conditions could go to report, I thought that I might be able to change to a good place, so I went to try it, and I was really selected." ”

"Then do you know that you will follow me to the vassal kingdom next?"

"Of course I do, I want to. I have no relatives and no reason, even if I survive in the palace until I am twenty-five years old, I will be alone when I go out, it is better to stay in the palace with food and clothing for the rest of my life. Teng Ling smiled with crooked eyebrows, "And I am fortunate to meet such a good master as the girl, why am I not willing?" ”

An Su nodded seriously: "Since you have already decided, then we will take care of each other in the future!" ”

It seems that Tengling is really not the Queen Mother's person, and the Queen Mother is just worried about the safety of her family. If their detailed identities are discovered by the princes and kings in the vassal states, even if the power of the queen mother will not be shown on the surface, it is guaranteed that they will be secretly eliminated in private. Therefore, the Queen Mother found some palace maids who knew martial arts, and followed them as personal maids, which could also be a little safer and prolong the time for them to deliver news to the Queen Mother.
