Chapter 227: The Wisher Takes the Bait
Shen Yunfan showed a malicious smile, but before he could do something bad, he suddenly heard a movement outside, followed by Liu Meiniang's exclamation.
"Someone sneaks into the palace, catch him!"
For a while, there was a commotion outside.
"You're here to stay." Shen Yunfan admonished, and then went out to take a look, and saw several figures on the eaves scattering and fleeing.
"Who?"
Liu Meiniang replied, "The one who just sneaked in from the outside may be an assassin!"
"Cheng Yi, you stay here, Mei Niang, fat man, let's go after each other separately." Shen Yunfan greeted, and several people nodded and rushed out separately.
There were four people who fled, jumping up and down, a bit of bells and whistles, but not very fast.
Shen Yunfan followed behind one of them, and could have caught up with the other party. But when he thought about it, he deliberately slowed down, pretending that he was thrown away, and only followed from a distance.
The man in black in front ran all the way out of the palace, winding through the alley, and only after making sure that there was no one behind him did he enter an inn.
Inside the inn, two middle-aged men dressed as Xiao Er were waiting. Seeing the man in black returning, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How?"
"I was discovered, but I didn't get anything." The man in black spoke, a deep female voice.
"There are no pursuers, are they?"
"No, I'm fast, and no one can keep up." The man in black spoke with a hint of pride in his tone.
"Well, another target has also appeared, since we can't get anything, let's go and assassinate that person first!" As he spoke, the two middle-aged men took off their outer clothes, revealing their black clothes and covering their faces.
The three of them got out of the inn in the darkness of night and headed straight out of the city.
They didn't notice that there was a figure behind them......
Outside the east gate of the capital, the moonlight is sprinkled, and a small stream is gurgling.
On the edge of the stream, a thin young man sits fishing, holding a fishing rod.
Shen Yunfan followed the black-clothed people all the way, but lost traces of a few people nearby. At this time, he saw a young man fishing not far away, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother Tai is elegant, have you ever seen other people passing by?"
"Nope."
"Oh." Shen Yunfan nodded, staring at the young man for a long time, his eyes rolling.
He did not leave, but picked up a stick, sat on a stone beside him, and fished in style.
It's just that he didn't even have a fishing line, only a bare stick.
The young man on the side looked a little amused, so he asked, "Brother Tai, what are you fishing for?"
"Air fishing, the willing take the bait." Shen Yunfan said lightly.
"Oh?" The youth became more curious.
However, before he could ask again, his face changed suddenly, and he flashed sideways.
There was a crisp sound, and several four-edged darts were stuck in the place where he was sitting. If he hadn't dodged, he would have been pierced into a hedgehog.
"Fuso ninja?" When he looked up, he saw three men in black coming out of the bushes.
The darts in the hands of the three of them spun, and their eyes were full of murder.
The young man sneered and said, "Fusang dog, who is still ghostly, you still dare to come to seek death?"
Shen Yunfan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, it turned out that these three black-clothed people were from Fusang Kingdom? Fusang is far overseas, how could these people come to the Southern Wei Dynasty from thousands of miles away?
The three Fusang ninjas didn't say a word, put on a royal formation, and started to work with the young man.
In a hurry, the young man used the fishing rod as a stick and fought with the three men. His skills are not bad, at least at the level of a seventh-rank martial artist.
However, there were many people on the other side and his tricks were vicious, and it didn't take long for him to be scratched several darts and retreat in embarrassment.
Several people fought all the way to where Shen Yunfan was.
Seeing that Shen Yunfan was still fishing, the young man patted his head and shouted helplessly, "Brother Tai, stop fishing, run away!"
「
What shall I run to you who fight you?" Shen Yunfan was very calm.
"Are you stupid? These Fuso ninjas kill people without blinking!" The young man was a little anxious, and said in his heart that he had met a fool today.
First fished out of thin air, but now I don't know how to run when I encounter a major event that is critical to my life.
"Oh, killing people without blinking, so do they have dry eyes?"
"......," the corners of the young man's mouth twitched.
The Fuso ninja on the side said gloomily, "Kill this person too, and don't leave any witnesses!"
"Yes!" One of the graceful ninjas walked towards Shen Yunfan.
The young man had the intention to rescue, but he was beaten by the other two people and couldn't spare his hand.
However, the graceful ninja approached and did not move, but said coldly, "It's still too late for you to run."
Shen Yunfan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you willing to let me go?"
"I don't want to kill innocent people except for the target." The ninja spoke in a serious tone.
Her words were unexpected by Shen Yunfan, but Shen Yunfan smiled and had no intention of running.
The other party was suddenly a little angry, and reached out to grab Shen Yunfan.
But the moment she approached, Shen Yunfan grabbed out with one hand, directly grabbed her neck, pressed her to the ground, and then used internal force to connect several acupuncture points on her body.
The ninja only felt that his meridians were blocked for a while, and he lost his strength.
"The fish is hooked." Shen Yunfan smiled.
The ninja on the ground stared wide-eyed, and then he was surprised, "You are the one who chased me in the palace? You...... How could you possibly chase this here?"
Shen Yunfan didn't talk nonsense with her, so he picked up the wooden stick and went to find the other two ninjas.
His current strength is around the fifth grade, although he is only a small minion in the martial arts conference, but he can be regarded as a master in ordinary places!
At least he smoked these two ninjas like spinning tops, and the two of them couldn't be beaten.
The young man was stunned for a moment when he watched from the side, and muttered, "It turned out to be a master!"
Seeing that the situation is not good, the two ninjas are about to run.
Shen Yunfan stepped forward and wanted to arrest one more person, but a puff of black smoke came out of these two people's bodies, and they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's pretty fast." Shen Yunfan frowned.
The escape tricks of these Fuso ninjas are indeed very strange.
The enemy fled, and the young man breathed a sigh of relief, came over and arched his hand, "Brother Tai is very skilled, thank you!"
"You're welcome, why is Brother Tai being targeted by Fuso Ninja?" Shen Yunfan was a little curious about the identity of this young man.
Previously, the three ninjas secretly discussed in the inn, saying that they wanted to assassinate their targets.
Shen Yunfan heard it all, he followed all the way, and when he saw this young man fishing, he guessed that this person was the target of the ninja. That's why he deliberately waited here for the rabbit, and really waited until the ninja made a move.
Now that I think about it, the identity of the person who can be targeted by the Fuso ninja is probably unusual.
