……

In the middle of the night, the air in the imperial palace district was as high as ever, and not far from this bustling neighborhood was the dilapidated slum, a sight that would make people feel hopelessly ironic no matter how many times they looked at it.

If it weren't for the trial, Su Shu wouldn't want to be loyal to such an endless ** empire at all, not because of the sense of justice in her heart, after all, she is not a good person, but she is just a little unaccustomed to it.

Under her careful arrangement, Oka pretended to be alone in the palace area drinking as usual, and lurked in the shadows a large group of elite guards that she had selected and borrowed from the palace, and as long as she dared to attack at night, it would be difficult to fly.

Who will carry out the assassination?

Su Shu lurked in the shadows and glanced around thoughtfully, now that the plot is developing in an unknown direction, it should be unlikely that it will still be Tazmi like in the original book, so according to speculation, Leonai, whose identity has not been revealed on the surface, should be the most likely.

Leonai's strength is also very impressive among the Imperial Envoys, not only can he transform into a beast, but he also has terrifying recovery power, and it is best to seize this opportunity to kill him to avoid future troubles.

She believes that with her five-vision ability and the Guards, she will be able to subdue Leonai in a short period of time, after all, an emperor like Leonai, who relies on beastialization and madness to become stronger, is the most vulnerable to her manipulation and manipulation, which is a kind of restraint from the attributes of the emperor itself.

In order to make the plan go smoothly, Su Shu gave up the bribery of the oil merchant who was listed as the target of the assassination with Oka to distract the attention and vigilance of the night attack, anyway, in her opinion, the life or death of a rich and unkind oil merchant did not matter at all, as long as she kept Oka in charge of the garrison to consolidate her own power.

Until late at night, there was still no movement around the palace area, and Ouka, who pretended to be drunk, couldn't hold back and drank seven or eight bottles of spirits, even if he was reminded by Su Shu in advance, he was really drunk now, and there was no vigilance at all, maybe in Ouka's opinion, the person who dared to commit murder in the downtown of the imperial capital probably did not exist.

Su Shu couldn't help but wonder, procrastination is not like the decisive and ruthless style of the night attack, if the night attack is not done now, maybe the night attack will really not appear tonight.

At the same time that she felt irritable, Oka was already drunk and fell to the ground, and none of the passers-by were suspicious, and suddenly a wave of disappointment welled up in her heart, it seemed that she still underestimated the patience of her opponent.

"Miss, it's almost dawn, and the brothers of the Guards are tired, look ......" The captain of the Guards on the side couldn't help but step forward and asked carefully.

Su Shu watched for a while, but there was still no movement around, and finally she had to nod her head regretfully, being able to borrow the guards for a night was already in the face of the minister, and if she delayed it any longer, it would be a little unfortunate.

After the guards quietly withdrew, Su Shu sighed in disappointment, and stayed up all night in vain, even the guards with strong physical fitness couldn't bear it, not to mention that she was physically weak, and now she had to wake up Oka to go back to replenish her spirit, and then find a way to deal with the night attack.

"Hey, wake up, you're good to go."

Su Shu yawned and walked over and kicked Oka on the ground, but the other party was still lying on the ground motionless like a dead pig.

Dead Pig ......

"Huh?!"

She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and as she looked down, she realized that there was sticky blood on the toes of her shoes, and the strong smell of alcohol in the air gradually penetrated into the smell of blood, which was difficult to hide.

- Oka is dead?!

How can it be?!

Since when......

Su Shu's pupils contracted sharply, but the situation did not allow her to think for half a second longer, and a cold and bone-chilling aura struck from above in an instant.

Boom!

As Su Shu subconsciously drew his sword and turned around to slash, at the same time, a black shadow fell from the sky, and the hard saber in her hand broke in response, and in an instant, a strong aura of death spread all over her body, and the whole process was only a few seconds of lightning, so that she couldn't dodge the opponent's attack for a while.

I actually fell into the trick -

Su Shu was terrified in her heart, except for widening her eyes and watching the other party swing a short sword and stab to die, she didn't even have a chance to launch a cute spell.

And in the indifferent gaze of the attacker, the delicate little face of the beautiful girl in front of her was frightened as pale as paper, I am afraid that even a hard-hearted person will be difficult to ruthlessly attack such a petite girl.

At the moment when Su Shu's brain fell into a blank, the killing intent on the other party's body suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the short sword was also withdrawn in an instant.

But that didn't mean the crisis was over, because the dagger was turned against her lower abdomen, and she had no doubt that if she moved, the other party would not hesitate to stab her in the stomach.

Who is it?!

Su Shu took a deep breath and stared at the attacker in front of him, the other party's whole body was shrouded in black robes and he couldn't see his face clearly, leaving only a pair of big black and white eyes staring at her with the same look of confusion.

Although he did not rashly launch the emperor to investigate, at this moment, Su Shu eliminated everyone in the night attack and determined the true identity of the other party, because the smell on the other party's body was too familiar, and it was impossible to forget it for the rest of his life.

Xia Lan......

There is no doubt that the seductive faint body fragrance, especially the palpitating breath, belongs to Xia Lan.

As the corners of Su Shu's mouth involuntarily curled slightly, Xia Lan frowned, and there was a throbbing in his heart inexplicably, but he couldn't see through the existence of this beautiful girl who actually hid the soul of an evil man.

Absolutely!

Su Shu couldn't help but let out a burst of evil intently inflated laughter in his heart, after all, no one can associate himself with a cute beautiful girl, even if he is as smart as Xia Lan, he can never get rid of the thinking of ordinary people, this is the uncontrollable and terrifying part of the trial.

The opportunity has undoubtedly come.

As soon as he thought of this, Su Shu pretended to easily straighten his slightly messy clothes, cleared his voice, and matched the angelic and innocent face, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone: "Miss Ben is the daughter of the Imperial Minister, Arya. Evil night .raid, you dare to murder the captain of the garrison in the street, openly hold hostage the families of important ministers in the DPRK and China, and you will be punished with death! ”

If it were someone else, maybe she might be killed before she finished speaking, but Arya is different, if she can survive from the hands of the night attack at the beginning, there must be a reason not to constitute a capital crime, not to mention that the current target is Xia Lan, so it is even more impossible to do it easily, so it is the best choice at present to confuse the other party according to the character of a girl whose whole family was killed.

And it is true, due to the various subtle effects of the intrusion of the fogger on the world, Arya, who was originally evil in her heart, was forcibly modified into a real good lady by the mastermind behind the scenes, which is what Xia Lan couldn't figure out the most.

But no matter what happened, Su Shu led the guards to ambush and attack at night, and every move was clearly seen by Xia Lan in the dark, so Xia Lan also had to take action to catch Su Shu and ask the ins and outs of the matter.

"Who's behind you? That person's surname is Sue, right? Xia Lanxing's eyes were cold, and she no longer felt pity for the flowers, she directly grabbed Su Shu's collar with one hand and lifted it, and put the short sword on her neck with the other hand.

"I said, no one instructed me, would you believe it?" Su Shu shot back with a cold look without showing weakness, his gaze slowly moved down to the short sword at his neck, feeling the terrifying chill on the blade, he couldn't help but sneer: "This is your imperial tool?" Isn't it, there's no way a normal weapon can cut off my fine steel saber at once, right? ”

Not surprisingly, even she can get her own imperial tools in a short period of time, and Xia Lan naturally has a way to get them, after all, this is a world where imperial tools are supreme, otherwise the intervention of the mist will be meaningless.

"This is-" Xia Lan was about to subconsciously answer, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that this was his own words, but he didn't expect that the other party's tone contained a strong demagogy, which was not like the ability of a delicate aristocratic girl.

What's going on......

The uneasy mood spread rapidly in Xia Lan's heart, and he planned to forcibly knock Su Shu unconscious and take him back for further interrogation, but at the moment when Xia Lan made his move, he found that the real feeling in his hand suddenly disappeared, and the girl who was originally caught by himself appeared a hundred meters away as if he was teleporting.

At the same time, the silver headband on Su Shu's forehead loomed, it was her imperial observer who activated the visual illusion ability, and under her possession, the power of the imperial instrument was vividly exerted, and even emotional fluctuations and real feelings could be simulated for a short time, so that it was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between reality and illusion, so that she could take the opportunity to escape Xia Lan's hostage.

"You...... Who are you? Xia Lan's starry eyes couldn't help but widen, looking at Su Shu in front of him with his hands on his chest in disbelief, obviously this seemingly delicate girl was not as simple as it seemed, and she was undoubtedly the holder of the emperor's tool.

Thinking that Oka's plan to kill him was completely shattered, and even he almost lost his life, it was impossible for Su Shu not to be annoyed and ashamed, so he immediately clenched his fists and said sharply: "Listen to me!" Next time - you'll definitely be on your knees at my feet and begging! Confession! ...... Atonement

"There's no next time!"

Without waiting for Su Shu to finish his cruel words, the humiliated Xia Lan was very angry, and he had already reacted from his stunned in time, and his body was like a slender and deadly black shadow that swept towards Su Shu with a thunderous momentum, and the sharp edge that clearly flashed was obviously to kill Su Shu on the spot to prevent future troubles.

Are you kidding!

How dare you come......

Su Shu was so shocked that he hurriedly turned around and ran towards the crowded place, not forgetting to blow the whistle to ask for help from the surrounding guards, after all, Xia Lan held an attacking imperial tool and excellent swordsmanship, on the other hand, he was weak and not good at frontal combat, if he was caught up by Xia Lan who was angry, he would definitely be unable to escape death.
