The people of Huayu Continent have divided the night into five watches since ancient times. One more sound of the street drum, one fast and one slow, and at the same time close all the gates, announcing the beginning of the curfew in the city; The second more sounded the fire gong, two sounds at a uniform speed, and instructed each family to be careful of the fire candles; The third watch is a peace bang, one slow and two fast, to welcome the ghosts and spirits of the past; The fourth watch sounded a slow and three fast anti-theft sticks, reminding the people to be careful of the door and beware of thieves and burglars; The fifth watch is a fast and four slow drum tower bells, reminding the people in the city that dawn is imminent, and at the same time announcing that the four city gates are open again and the curfew is lifted.

However, this old rule is obviously not binding on the people living in Gusu City today. The people and merchants living in the city no longer have to work in the fields, so except for those soldiers who guard the city, sweep the streets, and small traders who specialize in morning business, no one wants to leave their warm beds prematurely in Gusu City in the cold spring season.

As soon as the morning bell rang on the fifth watch, the south gate of Gusu City, which had been closed all night, was slowly pushed open by two sleepy-eyed city gate officials; Outside the city gate, the burden-carrying merchants, the workers who drove the waterwheel, and the rice stall shopkeepers who carried pots and rice and flour bags immediately poured into the city of Gusu like a swarm; Looking to the other side of the moat drawbridge, there were many people living in the outer city crowded together, waiting in a crooked line to enter the city.

The city of Gusu is built extremely square, if you draw a cross from the yamen of the central axis, you can clearly divide the whole city into four small squares: east, west, south and north. The southeast and southwest urban areas are densely covered with all kinds of dwellings and large and small square cities; In the northeast corner, there are the mansions of famous families, squires and wealthy merchants, which are extremely quiet and elegant; In the northwest corner of Gusu City, there are academies, medical halls, and the best restaurants and shops, etc., which are the meeting places of literati and scholars.

There is an obvious advantage of such a plan, that is, these small merchants and hawkers who are rushing to do business in the morning nowadays, no matter how noisy and noisy, will never disturb the broad old men who live in the northeast corner......

After the morning bell rang, the southern city of Gusu began a new day's life; However, the northern city of Gusu is still asleep.

The so-called morning bell and dusk drum, when this bell rang, not only announced the opening of the city gates, but also announced to the sixteen shamans who had been watching Shen You all night that the time had come for the operation to begin.

Today's Shen You is still reading by the pillars around him; And the maid Qingmei, who was sleeping on his knees, was also wrapping her arms around his waist; Whether it was the wide animal skins on the two of them, or the numbness of their hands and feet after sitting all night, it was a rare opportunity for these sixteen shamans.

Whether it is Flame or Shopkeeper Zhu, there is no vigilance in his heart against the third son of the Shen family; If it weren't for Zigqi's words first, and repeatedly admonishing the two of them not to act rashly, they might have already taken off this person's head and returned to Shencheng to sleep!

After some deliberation, the sixteen shamans decided to divide into four groups, southeast, northwest, and kill Shen You at the center point; Regardless of which group of people succeeded, everyone immediately went out of the city through the four gates, and each of them hid his whereabouts; Until the beginning of tonight, everyone turned around and rushed to the Taihu Lake ferry port located southwest of Gusu City, and met Qi Geqi and Qi Lingyan and his wife.

As for the first cannon that announced the start of the operation, it was naturally the shopkeeper Zhu who was responsible for firing it!

The "Flowers and Plants Collection" in Shen You's hand also happened to be finished at this time. He gently closed the scroll, lifted the sword beside him to press the book, and pulled out a random cookbook called "Miscellaneous Notes on Fireworks" from the bottom, and read it with relish.

His behavior, in the eyes of the shopkeeper Zhu who was in the canopy outside the wall, only made him stop for a moment; Immediately, he forcibly suppressed the uneasiness and restlessness in his heart, reached out and took off the boots on his feet, and re-fastened the Dongying knife that was crossed at his waist, jumped forward barefoot, and after landing on the ground, he rolled a few times to unload his strength, and under the cover of the rain, he quietly leaned against the east courtyard wall of the Shen family's mansion.

In the next moment, the three shamans of Mingyue, Chenguang, and Jiaoyang also fell on this old-timer's side; After the four of them exchanged glances with each other, they put their hands together by Chenguang, who was the lightest, and the shopkeeper Zhu stepped on his palms, and jumped over the courtyard wall of the Shen family's mansion with the strength of his arms......

Even though the sound of them landing on the ground was extremely soft, Shen You's mind was still very sober now. There is a "Dongying Ronin" turned in from the outside of the courtyard wall, and it is impossible to ignore it. But after all, these dozen shamans are all prepared, and it will naturally not take long to assemble; Just waited for Shen You to gently pill Qingmei's head on the pile of books, and there were already fifteen men of different shapes standing in a small east courtyard; One of the female shamans, Neon, was already crouching on the roof behind Shen You, carefully observing the movement on the street......

Faced with this dangerous situation, Shen You did not shout loudly for the guards, nor did he turn around and run away, but gestured a finger towards the "barefoot ronin" Zhu shopkeeper:

"Shhhh Don't make a noise about other people's dreams......"

Shopkeeper Zhu has been a shaman guard for more than ten years, and then a fierce man who has been a pirate for nearly twenty years! How could such a murderous "bandit" talk nonsense with a rich son? After listening to Shen You's request, the corners of his mouth pulled out a meaningful smile, and while nodding in agreement, the handle of Dongying's knife held in his right hand suddenly turned a slight arc slightly......

The handle of the knife is aimed at Shen You, which is a harbinger of Dongying's knife coming out of the sheath!

A dazzling cold light split the silk-like soft rain curtain of the Jiangnan Water Town, and went straight to Shen You's neck and slashed away; And the big feet of the shopkeeper Zhu have been tempered by the huge waves at sea for nearly 20 years, whether it is the center of gravity or pace, posture or coordination, they are far from being comparable to the people of Changjianghu who are looking for them!

When Shopkeeper Zhu took a step towards Shen You, whether it was Han Bing, who was proficient in bow and crossbow archery, or Yun Wu, who could hit a cow hair needle, or even Tie Shan, who was born with divine power and a wide heart and a fat body, attacked and killed Shen You, who was the target of this operation......

In the face of the siege of more than a dozen uninvited guests, Shen You didn't even show the slightest panicked expression; He was even bending down to hold the sword, and he helped Qingmei sweep away a strand of hair that was eaten in his mouth......

Shamanwei's real martial arts cultivation is actually a long distance away from the White Ape Sword Immortal Hongfeng in the Zhuhai Sword Pool, and when compared with the rivers and lakes, he can only barely be regarded as a second-rate master. However, these people have grown up together since childhood, and their understanding of each other and the tacit understanding of cooperation and combat are their greatest reliance.

Moreover, the Shaman Guard will never fight alone, regardless of whether the enemy is alone or thousands of troops, all of them are treated equally.

It seems that the twelve sibling brothers who have been practicing for a long time and have the same heart to heart each other, plus now there are seniors who have the same growth environment but more experience in the rivers and lakes as the guide, the strength they can show is not just as simple as addition!

In other words, even if the people trapped in this nirvana today are Jiang Xiaolou, the third master of Zhuhai Sword Pool, Wu Chengfeng, the head of Chu Momen, and Shen Gui, who has already achieved a little success, they can't easily break this game!

Now the sword in Shen You's hand is an ordinary mainland product that can be obtained everywhere; The ornamentation on the scabbard and the inlaid gems, the sword robe with the sword tail representing the identity of the sword are not counted, and the price of the blacksmith shop in Gusu City is twelve taels of silver. He just took such a handicraft and waved it casually, and walked towards the flickering Dongying knife in the hand of the shopkeeper Zhu!

When Shopkeeper Zhu saw Shen You's posture, his heart was simply happy! This rich boy is really a rich son, and he has no experience in the rivers and lakes at all! After practicing for a few days, I thought that the world was invincible? I want to use such a broken iron bar to resist this famous knife in my hand - Sakura Ghost Cut? Sure enough, the ignorant are fearless, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers!

Since you are not afraid of tigers, then give up your life to feed tigers!

Seeing Shen You's near-suicidal behavior, Shopkeeper Zhu also directly used the strength of his whole body to cut off the enemy's head with one sword......

However, the result of the two weapons being connected was obviously not as optimistic as Shopkeeper Zhu had guessed. This famous knife he seized in the hands of a Dongying pirate leader-Sakura Ghost Cut, was really cut off by a literati sword with a dozen taels of silver; The broken upper half of the blade also flew in the air with a whirl!

Although Shopkeeper Zhu still couldn't figure out the reason, he knew that he was inferior to the enemy, and the hairs on his back immediately stood up! He was just about to roll on the spot and dodge the opponent's sword, but he didn't expect that at the same time as the thought came together, all the strength around him was rapidly disappearing as if it were a river bank that had broken the embankment......

Shen You shook the "sword", and casually raised it outward, swinging away the feather arrows and some hidden weapons that came first; Then he flicked his right foot outwards and gently kicked away a man's head that was rolling at his feet. Then, he looked down at the sword in his hand, which had already burst out, and rolled his eyes angrily......

At present, the great enemy has no time to grieve. Seeing that Shen You's skills were clever and his weapons were excellent, Blaze immediately restrained the trace of contempt in his heart; He stepped forward, shook the iron chain wrapped around his waist into a spirit snake, and went straight to Shen You's sword body......

As the head of the guard of the Twelve Shamans, Blaze naturally has his own uniqueness; And the reason why he chose to learn this kind of strange weapon since he was a child was not because he had any opinion on the beautiful and dashing long sword......

This is the duty that the chief of the shaman's guard must fulfill!
