The huge movement here alarmed the Gao family, and Jing Xi and Shen Ling saw guards running with torches from a distance.

"Let's go!" Jing Xi did not hesitate to grab Shen Ling's waist, lift the internal strength and fly towards the outside of the courtyard.

Jing Ci was injured, his breath was unstable, his light skill speed decreased, and the pursuers were very tight in his heels.

Passing by a corner, Shen Ling pointed to a house on the side of the road, which she remembered was empty and uninhabited.

"Go there first."

Jing Ci frowned and took Shen Ling into the courtyard, there was really no one living inside, only some furniture.

Shen Ling helped Jing Ci to the side of the bed, lifted Jing Ci's clothes, for fear of attracting pursuers, Shen Ling didn't dare to light the lamp, just pushed open the window, and checked Jing Ci's injuries in the moonlight.

The wound was on the shoulder, still bleeding out.

Just as Shen Ling was about to treat Jing Xi's injuries, the door of the house was kicked open, and there was a loud sound from the door panel on the ground.

Shen Ling frowned, hurriedly sprinkled some unknown powder to cover up the smell of blood, and took out the mask he had made before from his arms and quickly pasted it on his face.

She reassured Jing Xi, "Wait for me here." ”

"Be careful."

Shen Ling took off her underwear in a few moments, she reached out and pulled out her hairpin to loosen her hair, pretending to have just woken up.

She walked out of the bedroom and came to the courtyard where she saw a group of guards with knives.

Shen Ling pretended to be scared and swallowed her saliva, and spoke tremblingly, "You...... Who are you, and why did you break into my house late at night? ”

The head of the guard looked up at Shen Ling, just now he led people to chase people to the corner and the person disappeared, this is this family, he immediately decided to come over and have a look.

The guard asked viciously, "Have you seen the two men in black?" ”

"What man in black? I was sleeping in my room when I suddenly heard the door kicked. Speaking of this, Shen Ling seemed to be very annoyed, "What do you want to do, believe it or not, I'll report to the official!" ”

The night was dark, and the head of the guard looked at Shen Ling's clothes and felt that what she said did not seem to be a lie.

"Let's go, not here."

Everyone put their knives back into their sheaths and left the courtyard one after another.

As soon as he saw the person leaving, Shen Ling immediately walked back to the room quickly.

Jing Ci heard the movement and hurriedly picked up the sword and hid it in the shadows, and when he saw that it was Shen Ling, he breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew the long sword.

"The people outside have already left, and I see them going to the opposite place of the National Teacher's Mansion." Shen Ling said as he stepped forward to treat Jing Ci's wounds.

She hadn't noticed it at this time, and the dragon spirit that was clearly enshrined in her body was displayed in front of her, but she was already indifferent.

Half a cup of tea time passed, and after dealing with Jing Xi's wound, Shen Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not safe here, let's go back to the house first."

Jing Ci's heart softened for a while, and Shen Ling never thought of giving up on him from beginning to end, and this was the first time he had been protected since he could remember.

His eyes were warm, he reached out to pick up his clothes, draped them on Shen Ling's body, and said in a soft tone, "Next time there is such a thing, you can leave by yourself first to ensure your own safety." ”

Shen Ling's left ear went in and out of her right ear, she straightened her clothes, and asked rhetorically, "But when the killer wanted to kill me, why didn't you think about ensuring your own safety first?" ”

Jing Xi was stunned, he was completely subconsciously reacting at the time, and he didn't think much about it.

The two fell silent for a while, and on the way back to China's master's mansion, Shen Ling kept hinting to herself that she would sacrifice herself to protect her in order to get the dragon spirit of Jing Xi.

The next morning, Gao Zhongli did not attend, nor did he take leave of absence to the emperor in advance.

After the next dynasty, the emperor returned to the imperial study and wanted to summon the Gao family to inquire, but the Gao family came to the door by themselves.

The old man knelt on the ground, bowed his head to the ground, and shouted: "Ask the Holy Lord to be the master of the Gao family!" ”

The emperor was very surprised, walked out of front of the bookcase, and helped Master Gao up.

"Aiqing, please hurry up, what's going on that I need to make decisions for you?"

Master Gao's face was unconcealable, "Wu'er...... Wu'er, I was assassinated in the house yesterday, I beg Your Majesty to call the shots and help my Gao family take down the murderer! ”

The emperor was shocked, Gao Zhongli was his right-hand man, he had done a lot of things for him, and Gao Zhongli was the best at saving his life, how could he die suddenly!

Then the emperor felt a wave of anger, and now Gao Zhongli was dead, which meant that he had lost a right-hand man.

"Master Gao's day mourning, if the murderer is caught, I will definitely let the killer go down to make amends to Gao Aiqing, but I don't know if Master Gao has any clues about the killer?"

Hearing this, Master Gao immediately took out a Supa from his arms, bent down and held it above his head, "This is the evidence left at the scene, please see it." ”

The emperor took it, and at a glance he saw Shen Ling's name on Supa.

Thinking of Song Xinyu's previous matter of inviting the killer, the emperor had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't say it, just called the guards and ordered: "Go to the National Teacher's Mansion and invite Shen Ling." ”

Half an hour later, the National Teacher's Mansion ushered in the guards.

"County Lord, the Holy Lord, please enter the palace for a while."

Thinking of that dream, Shen Ling had a bad premonition in his heart.

She quietly took out the silver and stuffed it into the guard's hand, and asked with a smile, "I don't know why the Holy Father invited me?" ”

The guards made a face, and the oil and salt did not enter, "The county lord will know when he goes." ”

Hearing this, Jing Ci stood up, "I'm with you." ”

"Brother guard, you wait first," Shen Ling smiled at the guard, as if she was a little embarrassed, "My husband can't leave me for a moment, let you see the joke." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ling pulled Jing Xi aside, and only spoke when she made sure that the guards couldn't see or hear it.

"You can't go today."

Jing Ci frowned, "According to the foreshadowing of the Phoenix Blood Heart, it will be dangerous for you to go today, if I am with you, I may be able to protect you." ”

Shen Ling shook his head slightly, and said comfortingly: "It is precisely because of this that you can't go, Gao Zhongli was stabbed to death yesterday, according to the foreshadowing, the Holy Lord summoned me to the palace I am afraid that it will be inseparable from this matter, if you also pass, then someone will find your wounds, we will not be able to explain it clearly." ”

Jing Ci was moved, and had no choice but to respond, "Okay, then you be careful, but don't worry even if you are really taken into a prison cell, I will find a way to save you." ”

Listening to Jing Xi's promise, Shen Ling's heart suddenly felt like a spring breeze, warm.

Her eyebrows were gentle and smiling, "Don't worry, I won't be bullied, and I will definitely protect myself." ”

Just in case, Shen Ling took out another spider Gu and handed it to the dark guard.

"Dao Jiu, this poisonous Gu can track down the killer who came to the mansion to assassinate him before, you go and arrest him and send him to the palace."

On the other side, the palace guards were a little impatient, and walked towards Shen Ling's side, "County Lord, it's not too early, don't let the saint be in a hurry." ”

When Shen Ling heard this, he hurriedly walked over, "I'm sorry, I made the guard brother wait for a long time." ”
