In the Lixin Academy, Mr. Shangyang opened his door at this time and walked into the courtyard of the academy. The moonlight tonight was like water, but as the night was quiet, a sense of emptiness rose from Mr. Shangyang's heart.

This couldn't help but make Mr. Shangyang chant in a low voice: The deeper yellow moon sets, and the night is long and the stars are scarce. On weekdays, he should have gone to bed at this hour, but today is the sixtieth birthday of Shi Fangzheng, the envoy of the Anzhou Festival, and his senior brother Mr. Shuiyue has not yet returned, so he can't sleep for a while.

Looking at the half-hidden courtyard gate not far away, Mr. Shangyang walked slowly towards the courtyard gate with his hands behind his back.

He didn't notice at the moment, just behind a bush not far from him, where a man was hiding. When Mr. Shangyang came out, Sandalwood spotted him, and Sandalwood pulled out the dagger in his boot at the first time. She had already made a decision, and once the old man in front of her found herself, she would kill the other party as soon as possible.

But the old man stood in the courtyard, just reciting a poem without a head, and then walked towards the courtyard gate.

His departure shocked Sandalwood.

"At this time, the guards of the prince of Yue Guo are looking for themselves everywhere outside the courtyard at this time, once this old man attracts the attention of these people, they will definitely lure that group of guards over, and then they will have nowhere to hide." Thinking of this, Sandalwood decided to stop the old man's movements immediately.

Just as she got up and wanted to quickly step forward to subdue Mr. Shangyang, a voice suddenly came from the room.

"Master's night is already late, go to sleep! There are apprentices here, waiting for the master to come back, and I will take care of it. Then he came out of a room.

"When I'm older, I can't sleep as long as I have something on my mind." Mr. Shangyang shook his head and said helplessly.

At this time, the attention of the hearing was completely on his master, and he didn't even notice the sandalwood standing on the side of the courtyard.

And Sandalwood, who stood up, saw that Mr. Shangyang and Hearing didn't see his figure, and his heart, which was about to jump out of his chest, was finally relieved.

So she had to stand still and didn't dare to make the slightest movement, because she was afraid that if she moved a little, she would be noticed by the two people in front of her.

"I heard it! Two days ago, your uncle proposed that I take you south, what do you think? Although Mr. Suizuki suggested that they go south to find the help of the Ming Lord, he was still a little hesitant.

In his opinion, even if he goes south, he may not be able to find Mingjun, and as for Li Yi mentioned in the proverb, he is also skeptical.

"The disciple thinks that what the master said is feasible, and we should go south." Wen Wen saw his master's hesitation, so he firmly stated his attitude.

"Oh, if you have any ideas, you might as well tell me." Mr. Shangyang was surprised by what he had heard, and he had rarely heard such a firm statement on weekdays.

"First of all, from Mr. Na Jing's words last night, we can basically determine that the proverb is in it

The word "Ning" is Li Yi, and although we are not sure whether the proverb will come true, it at least shows us a feasible path. ”

"You mean we're going to follow that Li Yi?" Mr. Shangyang couldn't help frowning and asked. In fact, his idea was not to follow Li Yi, but to go south to find the master in the cold gate.

And the reason why Mr. Shuiyue and he both feel that the Ming Lord is in the south is because the order in the south has been completely destroyed by the grass army at this time.

This means that it is difficult for the power of the imperial court and the feudal lords to shackle those who have aspirations in the south.

"Master is still too early to say that it is too early to follow that Li Yi, we just see him as an alternative person who can help me and others." I heard and spoke my mind.

"Although the major powers have spread these proverbs to the gods, I have expressed doubts about them." Mr. Shangyang still refused to believe the so-called proverb.

"Master and Sage once said that the son is silent, strange and chaotic, and the things of prophecy are indeed not feasible, but the old saying also said that it is better to believe what is there than not to believe. It is not a loss for us to follow Li Yi for the time being, if we really meet the master in the future, we will leave with confidence. After listening to what he heard, Mr. Shangyang couldn't help but ponder.

Although the master and apprentice talked about this matter lightly, Sandalwood who was standing on the side had already stirred up turbulent waves in his heart.

She had also heard the proverbs spoken by the master and apprentice. After all, as Mu Fenglin's personal guard and assassin, Mu Fenglin generally didn't take too much precaution against her.

Therefore, she had heard Mu Fenglin discuss this matter with Mu Fengshan before. At the time, the two brothers were still wondering if they themselves were the ones prophesied in the prophecy.

And the reason why they think so is not entirely because of the arrogance of their two brothers, but because their mother is surnamed Li.

It is precisely because of this that they have always felt that they are the Li character in the five proverbs. For this reason, they have been looking for the last one

The word "Ning" is to want to put that

The word "Ning" is strangled first to prevent it from being finally terminated by him. But now that both of them have died, it seems that they are indeed not the ones who prophesied in the prophecy.

But now he heard the representatives in the process of fleeing for his life

People with the word "Ning". What surprised her even more was the representation

The person with the word "Ning" turned out to be Li Yi who killed Mu Fenglin last night.

"This world is really too small!" Sandalwood's heart thought to herself.

"Yesterday, I heard Mr. Jing's meaning, they will leave Anzhou City tomorrow, if we really want to assist him, we have to make a decision tonight." Hearing a reminder.

"This morning, I have gathered all the students of the academy together, and I have returned all their bundles." Mr. Shangyang sighed and continued.

"Although the teacher is still hesitant about whether to follow Li Yi, he has already made up his mind about going south."

"Yes, although the south is also in chaos, but relatively speaking, Anzhou is more like a powder keg that will explode at any time, once the world is in chaos, Anzhou will become the object of competition among the major forces, and when the time comes, I think that the identity of the division will be bothered." Mr. Shangyang looked up at the starry sky with his hands behind his back.

"Master is talking about my two senior brothers?" I rarely heard of his two senior brothers and heard of his master, and only he had heard him mention it when he was drunk.

"Don't mention those two scoundrels! They are not worthy of being my disciples in Shangyang, and I don't have such apprentices in Shangyang. When Mr. Shangyang heard the mention of his two former apprentices, he couldn't help but be furious.

"The disciple is guilty, and the master is angry!" Seeing that his master reacted so much, he immediately bowed down and pleaded guilty when he heard it.

Mr. Shangyang couldn't help but soften his heart when he heard the sincere and frightened look, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's the teacher's fault." Just as the master and apprentice were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard.

So the two of them immediately walked out of the courtyard quickly to check.

"Old fellow, tell me honestly, did you hide that female assassin! Say it! When Mr. Shangyang walked out of the door, he saw that his senior brother Mr. Shuiyue was carrying a long knife around his neck, and a fierce man was shouting at him.

"Where did you come from, when did I hide some female assassins, it's insulting for you to treat and act like this." Because he drank a little too much tonight, Mr. Suizuki did not have the slightest fear of the long knife around his neck, and he grabbed the other party's clothes and scolded angrily.

"The old guy pretended to be crazy and stupid, didn't he? If you don't give a good account tonight, Lao Tzu cut off your head. Another guard of the prince of Yue Guo also shouted angrily and threatened.

They had searched the surrounding alleys thoroughly, but they could not find any trace of the female assassin.

The soldiers of the city guard battalion in Anzhou Prefecture City had compressed the encirclement to a small extent, but the female thorn was still missing.

At this time, the guards were already in a hurry, they were very worried that the female assassin had broken through the encirclement and escaped.

If that were the case, their fate would be miserable. They had heard that because of the accidental killing of the Great Prince, the Third Prince had sent a letter to General Nan Ye, the real commander of the army that had been reinforced by the Yue Kingdom to the north.

I thought that in a few days, General Nanda would bring people to Anzhou Prefecture to send the body of the great prince back to Yueguo.

Originally, the letter only said that the eldest prince was killed, but now that the third prince was also killed because of the negligence of his own people, you can imagine how angry General Nanda will be at that time.

And just when they were anxious, they suddenly noticed that an old man with a strange behavior appeared here.

So they immediately went forward and detained the old man.

"It's a joke to want to cut off my senior brother's head, even the current criminal department secretary probably doesn't have the guts." As soon as Mr. Shangyang got out of the hospital, he saw that his senior brother was held by several people with knives on his neck, and he couldn't help but scold angrily.

"Who?" The guards were startled when they suddenly heard someone talking.

"Just such an old guy doesn't dare to cut it when he returns to the Criminal Department, I think you are a toad, and your breath is so loud!" The leader of the guards brought the long knife in his hand closer to Mizuki's neck.

Feeling the slightest coolness coming from his skin, Mr. Mizuki's wine also woke up a little. However, he still maintained a calm and breezy appearance when facing these guards.

"Do you know who he is?"

"Who I don't care who he is! All I want to know now is where this old guy hid the female assassin? The lead guard said with a look of disdain.

"Boss, this old man doesn't sleep so late, maybe he and this old man will hide the female thorn together." While the leading guard was still arguing with Mr. Shangyang, another guard beside him reminded in a whisper.

"That's right, you old man is defending him like this, did you two hide the female assassin together." After being reminded by his companion, the leading guard immediately pointed at Mr. Shangyang with a long knife in his hand.

"There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add, you people and the bandits, and today you are so presumptuous, and tomorrow I will definitely go to the Lord of the Temperance." When Mr. Shangyang saw that the other party was pointing a long knife at him, he couldn't help but shout angrily.

"What nonsense are you old fellow, brothers take him down!" Immediately, the leading guard instructed his brothers to take down Mr. Shangyang.

"Yes!" Several of the other guards who were with him immediately drew their swords and stepped forward to take down Mr. Shangyang as well.

"I see who dares!" A loud shout came from the alleyway not far away. Everyone looked back, and soon a group of soldiers of the city guard battalion armed with swords poured out of the alley between them.

The leader was a tall man in armor who was nine feet tall, and this man was holding a long sword in his hand.

Seeing that the other party was the city guard camp of Anzhou Prefecture, these guards of Yue immediately put their minds at ease.

"My lord, we are now arresting the female assassin who killed our son, and now we suspect that these two old guys hid the female assassin, and ask your lord to make the decision for us." As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and now they have more or less given some face to the Anzhou City Guards in Anzhou City.

"Fart! You say these two old men are harboring female assassins? Do you know who these two are? The leading Lu Hua couldn't help but reprimand angrily.

Although he didn't know much about Mr. Shangyang, he knew that even if the festival made the adults see him, they were polite.

As for Mr. Mizuki, who was held to the neck with a knife, he was even more famous. This old gentleman is one of the few top Confucians in the entire Dayu Dynasty, and he was the best poet in the world back then, and even the emperor respected his poems.

So Mr. Shangyang said that even the Shangshu of the Criminal Department didn't dare to cut him, so he really didn't say a big thing.

"Aren't these just two old men, what's the big deal!" Although he said that these two old men were not a big deal, the leader of the Yue State Guards at this time had already realized that he might have met a big man this time.

"No big deal? The person you are holding hostage with a knife now is my Dayu Confucian's top Confucian Mr. Shuiyue, even if your King Yue sees him, he has to be a disciple! Lu Hua saw that what he had said was straightforward enough, but these brainless Yue Guo guards still didn't understand the stakes, so they had to tell Mr. Shuiyue's identity.

As soon as he had finished saying this, he heard only that

With a "clang", the long knife in the hand of the guard commander fell directly to the ground. Then he stood like a wooden sculpture in the present.

It took him a while to recover, and then he saw him fall to his knees and keep kowtowing to Mr. Suizuki and begging for mercy.

"Sir, let's spare a lot of small ones! The little one who has eyes and doesn't know Taishan has offended your old man, and your old man must not go to his heart! I'm here to kowtow to you. The commander of the Yue Kingdom Guard kowtowed and begged for mercy.

At this time, he felt that the luck of his people had really come home recently, first the eldest prince was killed, and then the third prince was killed, these two were enough for King Yue to cut them.

They also hoped that they would be able to catch the female assassin to make up for their mistakes, but now they have offended the top Confucian Confucians.

Now they all feel that their heads don't belong to them anymore.
