When Su Jinan woke up, the room was already completely dark, and there was faint candlelight outside.

"Xia Qu—" Su Jin'an's voice was hoarse with the one he had just woken up.

"Miss, are you awake?" Hearing the sound came the powder, she lit all the candles in the room, and the warm light illuminated the whole room.

"What time is it?" Su Jinan sat up and hugged the quilt and asked.

"It's time, does Miss want to pass the meal?"

"No, pour me a glass of water." Su Jinan said as he dressed.

"Is Miss going out? Xia Qu said let me follow Miss Protection. Powder Cream handed the water cup to Su Jin'an.

"No, I'll just go myself." Su Jinan directly refused.

"But...... What should I do if Miss is in danger alone? "Powder cream is a little uneasy.

Su Jin'an smiled: "Who came out to harm people during the New Year, even the Black Feather Gate is closed, and ordinary people can't help me." ”

"But ......" Powder Cream was still a little worried.

"Okay, don't worry, I'm not muddy." Su Jinan patted Powder Cream's face as she spoke, turned around and took the small burden that Xia Qu had already put aside, and was about to go out.

"Hey...... Miss, cape! Pink Frost saw Su Jin'an, who was about to step out with one foot, and hurriedly shouted, and then quickly picked up the navy blue cloak on the shelf and tied it to Su Jin'an.

Su Jinan secretly turned out of the Su Mansion alone, walking on the dark street, which looked really scary from a distance. It is estimated that there are few people on the street at this time in modern times, let alone in ancient times, and there is not even a ghost to see, except for her anomaly, it is estimated that no one will go out at this time, Su Jinan thought silently. Little did she know that she would soon encounter another "outlier".

Su Jin'an walked all the way to the Lishui River by the faint starlight, looking at the frozen river in front of her Su Jin'an was a little stunned, how could she forget that the water surface in the north would freeze in winter, and after staying in the south for so many years, she even forgot this common sense?

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also Shen Wanjun's birthday, for so many years, every time I think of this name, Su Jin'an's heart still can't help but throb. Shen Wanjun is the first person Su Jinan met in this strange time and space, and the only one who poured all his energy, hope and love into her, at the beginning Su Jinan always felt that she was too weak, and then she realized that she was already very strong from Shen Wanjun's point of view, after all, this era is too harsh for women.

Su Jin'an looked at the frozen water in front of him, and the depth in his eyes seemed to overshadow the night, this is the eleventh year since Shen Wanjun left, it's almost over, I will help you get it back with interest if they owe you.

At this moment, in the heart of the city, the luxurious palace of money, power, glory and glory is still brightly lit and singing and dancing. Today is the family banquet held by the royal family, the glittering hall is full, the emperor sits high at the top of the hall in a luxurious yellow brocade robe, and it is not really true to see in the dazzling palace lamp.

Below the emperor are lined up the seats of the emperor's relatives and relatives, but most of them are empty at this time, some of them get together to talk and laugh, and some take the opportunity to toast around with wine glasses, although I don't know how many conspiracies and ghosts are buried under this extremely luxurious picture of monarchs and ministers, but this appearance is indeed peaceful.

The staggered hall should be filled with this joy, but not far from the emperor's head, there is a place that is incompatible with the lively atmosphere at this time, as if isolated, no one approaches within three meters, here is the seat of the five princes Yan Wang, Yan Wang has always been an outlier among the princes, he is the first prince to leave the palace to build a palace alone, and he is also the first prince to kill the enemy on the battlefield, these deeds that should be called glorious are not worth mentioning because of his eyes that are different from ordinary people. At this time, Yan Wang Rong Chengjiao was leaning on the back of the chair casually, his eyes were half-drooping, and his thick eyelashes covered the color of his pupils and the endless coldness under his eyes.

On the other side, Su Jinan stood by the river for a while, and felt that the cold wind was blowing around, and it was still cold in the winter in the north, and he had almost forgotten the biting cold when he had been living in Huailing. Looking at the small burden in his hand, Su Jinan put it on the ground and opened it carefully, there was a small lotus lamp inside, took out the fire fold and lit the wick, and clearly saw the words on the petals: Shen Wanjun.

On the first day of the first month of the first month every year, Su Jinan will put a river lantern for Shen Wanjun, this year is not possible, Su Jinan has never paid tribute to her on Shen Wanjun's death day, but chooses to put a river lantern on her birthday every year, just because the scene of that day is still vivid, every time she thinks of Su Jinan, she can't help but want to kill Lin Wenguo, but she knows that what she wants is to make him irreversible, not to die easily, death is not enough to make up for the mistakes he made. So Su Jinan tried her best to suppress the impulse in her heart, and even tried to forget the day Shen Wanjun died, but those things that she desperately wanted to forget were more deeply imprinted in her mind.

Su Jin'an's right hand slowly touched his heart, and the scar there began to ache faintly again, and suddenly the fire under his feet suddenly lit up, pulling Su Jinan out of his memory, and when he looked down, he found that the lamp oil in the river lamp was gone, and now the entire river lamp was burning, which was particularly conspicuous in this dark night.

On the street, King Yan was riding a horse and walking on the road with two entourages, when suddenly something lit up not far ahead, and the entourage around him instantly guarded his horse and protected Rong Chengyao's side, although the fire was not big, but it was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

"Lord Wang?" An attendant asked in a low voice, waiting for instructions.

Rong Chengjiao naturally noticed the firelight, and it was obvious that there was a person standing there, this person was still a woman, if it was usually nothing, but she should never appear on this day, at this time, and in this place.

"Keep walking." Rong Chengyao's voice did not fluctuate in the slightest.

Su Jinan looked at the burning river lantern and had no intention of extinguishing it, this flame helped her dispel the cold of the winter night, it was very warm, just like the feeling that Shen Wanjun gave her at the beginning, she seemed to be able to see Shen Wanjun's pale but soft smile from the orange flame, and couldn't help but reach out and want to touch it. Suddenly, there was a sound of "da-da" horses' hooves, and Su Jin'an immediately put away her thoughts and withdrew her outstretched hand.

Su Jinan was a little puzzled, who would run out on the night of the first night of the Lunar New Year, besides her? Su Jinan looked at the source of the sound, but could only see three people riding horses not far away, but he could only see the outline, and his appearance was not clear. So Su Jinan didn't care, turned his head and continued to look at the lotus lantern under his feet, where the fire was no longer vigorous.

Although Su Jinan didn't see the person clearly, Rong Chengjiao clearly saw her appearance with the light of the fire under Su Jin'an's feet. Rong Chengyao's red eyes shook slightly, the last time he met her, he didn't live with her, but he remembered her eyes deeply, obviously it was the first time he saw him, but there was no fear and disdain, and even some excitement and appreciation, the first time he met such a look, he couldn't help but stop, wanting to come forward to find out.

Rong Chengjiao was never a person who hesitated, so he decisively grabbed the reins and stopped the horse and said to the two people behind him: "Stay here." After speaking, he walked in the direction of Su Jin'an.

Su Jinan was already suspicious, but now that someone came to her again, she couldn't help but be vigilant, and the hand in her sleeve slowly held it, but she didn't rush to turn back. The flames under his feet became smaller and smaller, and now he had completely lost the pomp and circumstance just now, and was dying like an old man in the twilight.

Rong Chengyi stopped three steps away from Su Jin'an and didn't make a sound, he didn't know what to say, he didn't know what to do, he didn't seem to have taken the initiative to contact anyone in his memory, so he was waiting, waiting for her to take the initiative to turn around.

So, on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a strange scene by the Lishui River in the capital: under the faint light of the fire that was about to be extinguished, a man and a woman stood motionless by the river, and an indescribable strangeness spread between them.

"Han Shuo, what are you talking about?" A deliberately muffled male voice came from the shadows not far away.

"......" did not receive a response.

"Do you say that the prince is not Hongluanxing, but will the dark wind pass like this month and the high wind will scare other girls?" The questioner didn't seem to want a response, and continued to mumble to himself.

"But what kind of person do you say this woman, who ran out to play with fire in the middle of the night?"

"Hey, by the way, I just looked at the prince and seemed to know her, do you know who she is? You say......"

"Shut up!" Another suppressed male voice interrupted the man's questioning, it should be the man named Han Shuo, and the chill revealed in that words was no less than the cold of this winter night. The inconspicuous corner instantly regained its calm, as if the conversation had just been an illusion.

Su Jin'an obviously felt that the people behind her were coming at her, but she didn't move for a long time, and she didn't exude hostility, Su Jin'an was a little skeptical of her judgment, so she looked back at the person who came, but this look made Su Jin'an's eyes widen: King Yan! However, the surprise was only a matter of a moment, and Su Jinan hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "I've seen King Yan." ”

Su Jin'an wasn't sure if Rong Chengjiao remembered him, after all, it was just a one-sided relationship last time, so he didn't report to his family, but simply greeted him.

Rong Chengjiao looked at the woman in front of him who calmed down instantly, and a voice without the slightest emotion floated out of his thin lips: "The third lady of the third room of the Su family." ”

"Yes-" Su Jinan said respectfully, but he didn't expect him to remember her.

"Look up." Rong Chengxuan's undulating voice sounded again.

Su Jin'an wasn't sure of his intentions, so she had to slowly raise her head and look at him.

Rong Chengjiao looked straight into her eyes, trying to find something, but he didn't find anything, even the difference she inadvertently revealed when they met for the first time disappeared without a trace, as if the person in front of him and that day were two people.

"If the prince has nothing to do, the courtiers will retire first." After Su Jin'an finished speaking, he walked in the direction behind Rong Cheng.

No one noticed that at the moment when Su Jinan raised his feet, the last trace of spark on the ground was quietly extinguished in the cold winter night, turning into a wisp of green smoke and blending into the darkness.

Just as Su Jinan and Rong Chengjiao passed by, a cold wind blew, Su Jinan lowered her eyes, and she felt the murderous aura. Not from the people around you, but for the people around you. Su Jinan secretly sighed that she was unlucky, but she didn't stop, she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible so as not to be stirred into some troubled water. But it backfired, Su Jin'an didn't take a few steps before a feather arrow broke through the air, and then his shoulder was grabbed and taken away, but he was followed by more arrows shooting at them.

Su Jin'an was taken by Rong Cheng'an to a tree, she was trapped between the tree and Rong Cheng'an, the two were very close but there was no physical contact, Su Jin'an's head was facing Rong Cheng's chest, which made Su Jinan a little uncomfortable, but there was no way, the two entourages of Rong Cheng'an outside had already swung their swords to resist, but after all, there were only two hands, and there were still arrows flying by from time to time.

The expression on Rong Chengyan's face did not change at all, and even the eyes on Su Jin'an's body did not even lift their eyelids, as if they did not see the fierce battle outside. Because of this, he didn't miss any expression on Su Jin'an's face, Su Jin'an was not frightened and trembling by the sudden situation, nor did she cry for help, on the contrary, there was no trace of panic on her face. Rong Chengyan was not surprised by Su Jin'an's performance, the person in front of him was indeed a little different.

"You're not afraid." Rong Chengyao's faint voice sounded, not a question but a statement.

"Although I can't fight in all directions compared to the prince, I have been living with my father at the border and I am not a deep lady, and this is not the first time I have seen this kind of scene." Su Jinan looked at the front and no longer fired arrows, and the black-clothed masked man who surrounded him from all directions said calmly, "However, since the prince has so many enemies, isn't it a bit too little to take two people out." ”

"Whoosh-" As soon as Su Jin'an's voice fell, the person who was in charge released a signal flare, and the green fire was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"Soon it's a lot." Rong Chengjiao looked at the signal released.

As he spoke, the enemy had already engaged with Rong Chengjiao's people, and Su Jinan looked at it and frowned: There are too many enemies, it seems that there must be dozens of people with good martial arts, and there are only four of them, which is obviously not a good sign.

"Stay here." After Rong Chengjiao finished speaking, without waiting for Su Jinan to speak, he took the initiative to meet those black-clothed and masked killers.

Su Jinan only felt that he appeared in front of the man in black with a flash in front of him, leaving only the corpse of the enemy wherever he passed, Su Jinan couldn't help but admire: This speed, this skill, worthy of the god of war!

However, Su Jinan did not sit idle to watch the play, it is impossible for her to leave quietly in the current situation, now she and Rong Chengjiao are people in the same boat, I only hope that his rescuers will not disappoint. Su Jinan held the trunk and squatted down, carefully observing the two sides of the war, although Rong Chengjiao was strong, but the other party obviously understood, so he did not fight hard but surrounded him and used a group wheel battle, Rong Chengjiao's two subordinates are not weak, the two have a good tacit understanding, but they are also entangled and can't get out, although no one has noticed her for the time being, but she can't sit still. Several extremely thin gold needles appeared on the tips of Su Jin'an's right fingers hanging by his side, and the tips of the needles were glowing with a faint cold light.

Suddenly, Su Jinan tightened the golden needle in his hand, rolled on the spot, and was struck by a long knife where he was just now, and the man in black saw that he didn't succeed, and then the big knife waved straight towards Su Jin'an's door, Su Jin'an did not retreat, but advanced, directly got up and grabbed the wrist of the man in black, and sent the person out along his strength, and at the same time he turned behind the man in black with a dodge, and then quickly stabbed the golden needle into the neck of the man in black, and the whole process was done in one go in an instant. The man in black, who was still imposing just now, fell to the ground and became a corpse. Su Jinan squatted down and looked at the dead man in black on the ground, took out the golden needle from his neck and said to himself: "Seeing the blood sealing the throat, well, the effect is good this time." ”

Su Jin'an didn't stay long, looking at the arrows scattered on the ground, Su Jin'an hooked the corners of his mouth, quickly took off the bow on the back of the man in black, and bent down to find a suitable shooting point through the night. In the past ten years since coming to ancient times, Su Jin'an has not only excelled in medical skills, but also learned a lot of self-defense skills, due to the professional nature of Su Jin'an's father in modern times, she knows the importance of a sniper in combat, because there is no *** in ancient times, so Su Jin'an has worked hardest in archery since he was a child, and everyone around him knows that Su Jin'an's best skill in addition to medical skills is archery.

The fight became more and more intense, and the intensity made it impossible to feel the cold of the winter night. Because Rong Chengjiao's combat power is too strong, most of the people surrounding him have been lost, just after he successfully broke through their encirclement, he has been standing outside the circle to watch a similar leader and the like who did not join the battle pounced on Rong Chengjiao at a very fast speed and strange angle, Rong Chengjiao's eyes turned and directly waved his palm to attack the comer, just at the moment when his palm hit the chest of the black-clothed leader, the red pupils contracted slightly, and the black-clothed man who was hit couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart at Rong Chengjiao's murderous red eyes, At the moment, there are only four words in his mind: Red-eyed Hades.

At this moment, Rong Chengjiao's battle-hardened killing aura continued to pour out of him, coupled with his natural red eyes, there was no doubt in the dark night that he was the Hell Hades who controlled life and death in the world.

Rong Chengjiao watched the black-clothed man who was knocked away slowly turn up his palm, and something was stabbed in his palm, and now it was black. Seeing that the leader had succeeded, the black-clothed people around him began to attack more frantically, and even no longer deliberately separated them, but directly pointed the finger at Rong Chengyan.

"Oh no, protect the prince!" Rong Chengjiao's two subordinates also hung up their colors, and when they saw this situation, they secretly screamed badly, and hurriedly rushed to Rong Chengjiao.

When Su Jinan was still shocked by the murderous aura emitted by Rong Chengyao, she saw that everyone pounced on Rong Chengyao, she quickly came back to her senses, and the movements in her hands were skillful: raising the bow, setting up the arrow, aiming, and releasing the arrow, the feather arrow in her hand flew out, directly penetrating the neck of the black-clothed man who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack Rong Chengyan.

The shooting of an arrow made everyone pause for a moment, and only Rong Chengjiao glanced at the location where Su Jin'an shot the arrow. Although Su Jin'an hid behind a tree, he still felt frightened: this person's strong perception, coupled with the murderous aura of Yama just now, Su Jin'an finally knew that his reputation as a battlefield killing god was not blown out.

The battle continued, and Su Jinan kept changing positions and constantly shooting cold arrows, which reduced the pressure on Rong Chengyi and the three of them slightly. Seeing that Rong Chengjiao's appearance was obviously poisoned, he could no longer exercise, but fortunately, there were not many people in black, and under the cover of Su Jin'an, Rong Chengjiao was quickly taken aside by two subordinates.

"Whoosh" Su Jin'an fired three arrows at once, and the three figures not far away fell instantly, and the only two remaining black-clothed people looked at each other and turned around when they saw that the situation was not good, and then turned around and withdrew, Su Jin'an looked at the black-clothed man who was leaving, put down the arrow that had been aimed in his hand, and walked towards Rong Chengyan.

"Since the prince has escaped, the courtiers will ......" Su Jinan looked at the three people in front of him and said goodbye before he could finish his words when he was interrupted by the exclamation of one of them.

"Lord Wang!" Rong Chengjiao suddenly felt a heavy head and fell backwards, but fortunately he was supported by the entourage standing behind him.

"Drunken Soul Incense!" Su Jin'an couldn't help but whisper as she smelled the faint fragrance in the air.

"What's wrong with the prince?" Another attendant hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

The other person just shook his head, looking at Rong Chengxuan, who was obviously about to faint, there was nothing to do.

"He's poisoned." Su Jin'an spoke up, instantly attracting the attention of the two, "Didn't you smell it?" The faint fragrance is emanating from your lord."

The two attendants looked at each other, and they did smell it.

Suddenly, a sword crossed Su Jin'an's neck, and she looked along the body of the sword, only to see that the person holding the sword was also looking at her faintly.

"Han Shuo, what are you doing" another attendant immediately spoke.

The sword-wielding man was not half moved, he didn't even leave Su Jin'an, looked at her and said, "Who are you?" Since you know the poison in the prince, there must be a way to solve it. ”

Su Jinan didn't speak, only looked coldly at the person in front of her who held the sword around her neck.

"You put your sword down first." Supporting Rong Chengyao's entourage.

But Han Shuo didn't seem to hear it, looked at Su Jinan and threatened: "Detoxification, otherwise, die." ”

Su Jinan suddenly laughed after hearing this, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and his voice was a little cold, "Is this your attitude of begging for people?" ”

She's unlucky enough to run into these bad things tonight, and now she's going to be threatened when she's a soft persimmon.

"Detoxify!" Han Shuo's voice sounded again, and the sword blade also got closer to Su Jin'an's skin.

"Down—down—" Just as Su Jinan was thinking about whether to poison the person who threatened her first, Rong Cheng's voice sounded with some difficulty.

"Lord, she ......" Just when Han Shuo and another attendant were looking at Rong Chengyao, Su Jin'an kicked at the Zusanli acupoint under Han Shuo's knees, Han Shuo only felt that his legs were numb and he had no strength, and he couldn't stand up when he knelt on the ground, and before he could react, Su Jin'an slashed at his shoulder well with a knife, and he couldn't say anything in pain, so he could only fall to the ground and glared at Su Jin'an.

And Su Jin'an felt more comfortable after beating him, walked up to Rong Chengjiao casually, held a pill the size of a soybean in front of him, and ignored the shocked eyes of the entourage next to him: "This medicine can alleviate the onset of toxicity, and the prince himself decides whether to take it or not." ”

Rong Chengyan nodded without hesitation after Su Jin'an finished speaking, seeing that he was so refreshing, Su Jinan did not hesitate, and directly stuffed the medicine into his mouth. The medicine melted in his mouth, and Rong Chengjiao only felt a bitter cold feeling spread between his lips and teeth, making his groggy head regain a little clarity.

"Your rescuers haven't come yet, I guess they won't be able to come, so let's find a safe place first, I'll ......."

"Go home from the trail, you, keep up." Rong Chengjiao said before Su Jinan said the second half of the sentence.

Looking at Rong Chengyao's eyes without warmth, Su Jinan knew that she had no choice, so she didn't refute and silently followed behind them.
