Chapter 325: Shadow Guard
After about another two days, Rong Yan finally found a little more clue.
This clue made Rong Yu's always calm and calm mood make waves, and Rong Yu tried to hand over the news, but there was no good opportunity.
Rong Yu's whole person was so anxious that he was angry, but he had to force it and try to calm down.
Always let him find an opportunity to spread the news, but what he didn't know was that it was still a step too late.
After receiving the news, Yan Shu didn't have time to be stunned, his body was faster than his brain, and he hurried to the Pingyang Hou Mansion.
"What's wrong?"
Pingyang Hou saw Yan Shu in a hurry, and his heart also lifted.
"Where's Yaoyao?"
Yan Shu didn't have time to answer questions, and the top priority was to find Ling Yao.
"I guess it's still in the yard!"
Ling Yao didn't walk around too much, and spent most of her time in the courtyard.
"Why is Brother Yan here?"
Yan Shu and Pingyang Hou walked halfway and bumped into Xie Jue.
"Where's Yaoyao?"
Yan Shu still said this.
"It's in the yard, what's wrong?"
Xie Jue was still a little confused.
I saw Yan Shu running all the way to the yard.
"Yaoyao? Are you there, Yaoyao? ”
Yan Shu looked around, but saw no trace of Ling Yao.
"A-Yao?"
Xie Jue was also a little surprised, obviously Ling Yao was still in the courtyard before he went out by himself, how could he disappear in a blink of an eye.
"It's still a step too late!"
Yan Shu's expression became more and more solemn.
"What the hell is going on?"
Xie Jue was very uneasy.
"Remember the missing Shadow Guard?"
Yan Shu told the two people in front of him the news he received.
Rong Yu had previously found out that the four shadow guards were on a secret mission, but he was not sure what the mission was, and he finally found a clue.
If Rong Yu's prediction was right, the secret task assigned to them by the emperor was to kill Ling Yao.
The task was only assigned by the emperor after Ling Yao killed the four masters, so these four shadow guards have been ambushed in the capital recently, just to kill Ling Yao.
Xie Jue listened to Yan Shu's words, and his face became worse and worse.
"Yaoyao probably didn't want to implicate the people in the mansion, and those four people probably knew that it was impossible to kill Yaoyao without alarming others, so those four people and Yaoyao should have reached an agreement and left the Hou Mansion."
Yan Shu was very clear about Ling Yao's temperament, and this speculation was the most reasonable explanation at present.
"So, is there a good place to kill people nearby?"
Xie Jue's words seemed to be frozen.
"Mass graves, Qingxi, abandoned martial arts field......"
Yan Shu frowned and said a few locations.
"Without further ado, go to A-Yao now, Brother Yan, please find a few more people with strong kung fu to help."
Xie Jue was very worried about Ling Yao, he even felt that Ling Yao had sensed that someone was going to attack him, otherwise why would he let himself go to the kitchen to make some snacks.
"Well, let's split up. By the way, this signal flare is for you, no matter who finds Yaoyao, you will light the signal flare, and everyone will go over to support when the time comes. ”
Yan Shu handed the flare to Xie Jue.
Next, everyone ran around the city, trying to find Ling Yao.
But the flare never sounded.
When Yan Shu's whole person was about to go crazy, he finally saw a signal flare burning in the west of the city.
"There's ...... Little Ni Lane! ”
Yan Shu soon realized that the location of the signal flare was the place where the four masters were killed.
He made thousands of calculations, but he only missed Xiaoxiao Alley.
Fortunately, Yanshu was not far from the location of Xiaoxiao Lane, so he quickly rushed over.
By the time Yan Shu arrived, one of the four shadow guards had already fallen.
Ling Yao and Xie Jue were two against three, and Yan Shu immediately drew his sword and joined the battle.
Yan Shu's arrival greatly relieved the pressure on Ling Yao and Xie Jue.
The situation is becoming clearer.
Although Xie Jue is the worst kung fu among the three, Xie Jue relied on the spring breeze to swim and did not fall into defeat.
Of course, this also had something to do with their main goal, they tried everything they could to get close to Ling Yao and kill Ling Yao.
But the fact that they needed to send four people to deal with Ling Yao was enough to show Ling Yao's strength, fighting alone, none of them were Ling Yao's opponents.
Soon, Ling Yao took the other party's life with a single sword.
There are now only two of the four shadow guards left.
One was fighting with Yan Shu and was about to split the winner, and the other was entangled by Xie Jue and had no strength to pounce on Ling Yao.
Ling Yao watched the two pairs of people fighting, and her heart was a little delicate.
I don't know what Ling Yao thought, so in the end, he didn't help, but chose to watch the battle from the sidelines.
Yan Shu's skills were superior, and he saw the blade of the sword in his hand slash through the neck of the shadow guard, and blood spurted out, and the person fell in response.
Of the four shadow guards, there is still one left to fight with Xie Jue.
If you talk about strength alone, Xie Jue is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but those who are here today are all people who can sweep a piece, so Xie Jue has a hard time.
"You're not going to help?"
Yan Shu put away his sword and stood beside Ling Yao.
"No, no."
Ling Yao looked a little ruthless.
But Yan Shu knew that Ling Yao was not ruthless, and Ling Yao believed in Xie Jue's strength.
Xie Jue's martial arts skills are indeed inferior to himself, but this does not mean that Xie Jue will lose to the shadow guard in front of him.
even said that even if he fought against Xie Jue today, he actually couldn't take any advantage.
Ling Yao and Yan Shu watched Xie Jue quietly until the sword in Xie Jue's hand pierced the shadow guard's chest.
"Hey, A-Yao, isn't it a little ruthless!"
Xie Jue put away his sword and looked at Ling Yao with some gasp, although he said so, he had a smile on his face.
"No, it won't."
Ling Yao also smiled, she felt that she was not ruthless at all.
"Why not, I'm obviously fighting hard! Is it okay to reach out in time? ”
Xie Jue looked like he was going to mess around with Ling Yao.
"Are you having a hard time? I don't think so. ”
The corners of Ling Yao's eyes curved.
Ling Yao really didn't think Xie Jue was difficult, Xie Jue took advantage of the spring breeze to wander around, and the shadow guard still had no way to take Xie Jue.
Xie Jue's dragon footwork even made the shadow guard unable to even grasp a corner of his clothes.
And if it is true about martial arts, Xie Jue is not necessarily worse than the other party, so it is only a matter of time before Xie Jue subdues the other party.
"I don't care, I'm working hard, I want to eat a good meal to make up for my lost strength!"
Xie Jue came to Ling Yao's side, and a big head arched directly on Ling Yao's neck.
"Then what do you want to eat!"
Ling Yao knew that Xie Jue was messing around, but Ling Yao was still willing to follow him.
"I want to eat that beef noodle!"
Xie Jue looked at Ling Yao with bright eyes.
"Okay then."
In the face of such a Xie Jue, how could Ling Yao bear to say something refusal?
