Chapter 140: Assassination

Today's sunset is pink.

It's as if the whole world is filled with a gentle atmosphere, an ambiguous rhythm.

In the small courtyard, a tall man figure stood motionless.

It seems that it is thinking about something, and it seems that it is waiting for something?

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he subconsciously turned around.

"You're back."

"What's wrong? What are you doing here? ”

"Waiting for you."

Listening to the words, Ye Zhenzhen was stunned and still walked forward naturally, put down the accounts brought back from Linglong Fang, and prepared for the opening in two days.

"Have you eaten?"

"No, I'll eat together when you come back."

The two of them haven't seen each other for some days, but the familiarity and tacit understanding in the words have not changed, and the answer is still as warm as ever.

"Come here!"

Su Mu directly took Ye Zhenzhen's hand and brought the person to the other side, naturally as if everything was supposed to be like this.

Pushing open the door and entering, the meal was already on the table.

"While it's still warm, let's eat it."

Four dishes and one soup for two people to eat is still more, Kung Pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, oily vegetables... They are all dishes that Ye Zhenzhen likes to eat.

"This craft is familiar!"

Ye Zhenzhen did not have the slightest hypocrisy, sat down and picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

I think when I was still in the village, I was oppressed by the big house, and many times I had to cook by myself.

Su Mu took matters into his own hands in order not to let her be wronged. His cooking skills have always been good, with his own unique taste.

Later, the family became a little richer, and Ye Zhenzhen's cooking became a glimmer when she arrived in the town. It's been a long time since I've tasted this.

"How does it taste?"

"Very good, I like it."

"If you like it, it's fine."

Pink glow shines through the window into the room, enveloping the two men.

Su Mu ate while picking vegetables into Ye Zhenzhen's bowl, his movements were so skillful, he didn't know how many meals he had eaten.

Since the two of them moved to the town, it has been a long time since they have eaten alone like this, and this feeling has made Ye Zhenzhen feel a little different in her heart.

"Linglong Fang's business is not bad, and if it continues like this, I should be able to push my beauty business to Kyoto in less than a year."

"Then from Kyoto to the whole of Keeongkoku."

Ye Zhenzhen raised her head as she said and looked at the person sitting opposite, her beauty career blueprint had not yet had time to tell him.

It was only roughly calculated last week.

"That's great, you'll become a rich woman then, but remember to raise me!"

Su Mu said jokingly with a hippie smile.

"Naturally, it's not a problem, as long as you behave well, then this girl will give you a golden house and hide you."

"People are Jinwu Zangjiao, are you Jinwu Zangjiao?"

The sound of laughter slowly came out of the room, and while eating and chatting, the mood became happy.

The sky was getting darker, it was almost autumn, and the wind was a little cold.

"I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"You'll know when you go."

Without saying anything, he directly hugged the person in his arms, hugged Ye Zhenzhen's waist and jumped out.

The internal force seal in the body has already been sent, and it has only recently been breathed. Light work will naturally be restored.

"Wow! When are you going to do this again? I don't know. ”

"Don't you know now?"

In the night sky, the stars had slowly revealed their little heads, and Su Mu held the person in his arms, not daring to be too fast, for fear of scaring her.

Looking down from mid-air, Pingxi Town became so small.

The lights of thousands of homes exude ordinary fireworks.

"You're right! I've never seen a night like this. ”

"If you like me, I'll bring you here often."

Soon the two of them arrived at the place where Su Mu was going, a small bamboo and wooden house hidden in the mountains.

"Where is this?"

"This is where I used to be when I was a kid."

It is a separate courtyard, in which a two-story small house built of bamboo is fresh and elegant.

The whole courtyard exudes an atmosphere of literati and elegant guests.

"Who built this? It seems to be quite dedicated. ”

Ye Zhenzhen, take a look at it, although the whole yard is not big, it is complete. There are even a few potted plants behind the fence.

The flowers inside are withered, but you can tell what the mood of the people here used to be.

Where a person lives, you can't just look at the details on the surface, but also see people's hearts.

Many times it is precisely because of this that it is said that the details determine success or failure, so you can see how important the details are.

"Take me up there."

The two of them walked up a solid staircase made of bamboo to the room on the second floor, where they could feel the breath of life in the past.

There was still a teapot on the table, but it was dusty.

"It's pretty good here, but it reminds me of a poem."

"Sitting alone in the secluded grate, playing the piano and howling, people in the deep forest don't know, and the bright moon comes to take pictures."

At this moment, Ye Zhenzhen remembered Wang Wei's "Bamboo Pavilion" at the right time.

Listening to this poem, Su Mu was a little distracted, and he didn't know whether he was infected by the night or the situation of the poem.

"It's a very well-written poem, but I don't know who wrote it, and I've never heard of it."

"This poem was written by a gentleman surnamed Wang, and I just happened to hear it and retold it."

"Don't move!"

Su Mu rushed to Ye Zhenzhen's side with an arrow step, held her hand, and her expression suddenly became nervous.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone!"

The footsteps outside, although they have gradually given up, are still difficult to hide. The deliberate slowdown of the pace provided Su Mu with an opportunity to investigate.

"Shh

Covered Ye Zhenzhen's mouth and told her not to make any noise, so as to give him a chance to observe the enemy's situation.

Through the gap in the window, you can clearly see that the courtyard of Jiangcheng is surrounded by the other party, and there are about a dozen people who come over.

It seems that some people really look up to him, and they don't even want to let go of this place where he once lived in seclusion, and they really calculate his temperament accurately.

I'm afraid these people have been hiding here for a while, and the house cat ran into a dead mouse, so they just came over today to let them hit it.

"I can protect myself!"

Ye Zhenzhen lowered her voice and looked at the person next to her, and said quietly. The dark arrow in the sleeve had never been used, but now it came in handy.

"It's okay, it's not difficult to deal with!"

As he spoke, he took the woman beside him with one hand, and with the other he picked up the soft sword pinned to his waist.

The people outside heard that there was no movement inside, and knew that they had been discovered, and the person who took the lead waved his hand and motioned for everyone to go together.

Su Mu jumped out of the window with Ye Zhenzhen in his arms, just in the opposite direction of what they were rushing towards.

With the sound of breaking out of the window, the people in black also realized that something was wrong and immediately turned around.

The game of chasing didn't happen for long, and the distance between them was not far away, so that Su Mu had no way to get rid of them immediately.

"Who are they?"

"It doesn't matter."

There are only a few who killed him, and as for which one of them, there is no way to explore these well-trained and tacit understandings, and at first glance they are dead soldiers raised by their side.

Even if the mission fails, they will commit suicide by poisoning, and they will definitely not reveal the secrets in their mouths, so there is no need to waste time on this kind of thing.

More than a dozen besiegers swarmed up, and Su Mu tried his best to protect Ye Zhenzhen while the long sword was like a dragon to deal with them.

It's just that the little kung fu on Ye Zhenzhen's body can only be regarded as a fist embroidered leg, which is insignificant in front of weapons.

So much so that there is no way to start a real fight with each other.

The sword flower that Su Mu pulled out carried the breath of death on it, and those who touched it died. Several people couldn't dodge and were killed on the spot.

The rest of the people glanced at each other, switched formations again, and attacked him with tacit understanding.

It was completely different from the formation just now, every shot in the fierce attack was straight to the point, and even when they discovered the current scene, Su Mu's weakness became obvious.

The woman behind her was the easiest point to breach, so some people dragged Su Mu back, while the other part directly attacked Ye Zhenzhen.

Two fists are invincible to four hands, and she has no way to play any role, and the hidden arrows in her hand are all cut off.

There are only two or three full of sleeve arrows left, so she doesn't dare to do it easily.

The long sword swept, the momentum was magnificent, and it opened and closed.

The mountain splitting axe is unstoppable, as if it cuts through the void and makes everyone escape into darkness.

In this way, the internal force loss is extremely high.

The men in black fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Are you alright?"

Su Mu saw that these people in front of him no longer posed a danger, turned to Ye Zhenzhen and asked.

She shook her head, looked around, made sure she was safe, and let go of her hanging heart.

Subconsciously his hand held his shoulder.

I only felt a warm current running through the palm of my hand.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you still hurting? ”

The anxiety in his tone was difficult to hide, watching the bright red blood continue to pour out, she was here to drag him down, otherwise with his kung fu, he would definitely be able to easily escape among these people.

The low-hanging eyelids were unstoppable, but Su Mu still discovered this strangeness!

"It's okay, don't worry, it's okay. If I hadn't had to take you out today, something so dangerous wouldn't have happened. ”

Su Mu smiled and didn't speak, the internal force in his body had been consumed too much, and now he was a little weak.

The force that had only been stable for a long time was exhausted in this battle, and it still needed to be reintegrated to adjust back to its peak state.

"Don't talk about that, do you have a golden pill on you? I'll give it to you. ”

"Nope..."

The corners of Su Mu's mouth slowly rose, looking at the anxious appearance of the person in front of him, he had an inexplicable sweet feeling in his heart.
