208. Assassination

The cold light wrinkled, and the two disciples of the White Jade Immortal Palace wearing light blue cloud pattern immortal robes who were waiting at the crack of the sealing barrier frowned slightly. Z.b

>

"What's that?"

"There's something going on in the Forbidden Land!"

"Hurry up and report to Senior Brother and Holy Maiden Luo! This must not be delayed!"

Previously, they had been looking down at the mundane world below through the sealing barrier, and found that there was an abnormal movement in a forbidden place, perhaps because of an accident with the sealing sword that suppressed the secret land.

Everyone hurriedly sent people to the Yuehua Palace in the void behind them to report on everyone's discovery.

......

Xu Fan walked on the bustling streets of Jinling City, looked at the lively crowd of people coming and going, and raised his eyes to look at the moonlight hanging overhead, and always felt that the moonlight tonight was a little brighter than before.

He guessed that it should be the monks of Haorantian who were already approaching the barrier of this sealing world, and after a while, the secret land of the Cloud Kingdom would erupt, and these monks would come from the depths of the void.

Zi'er beside her looked at the snacks on both sides of the street and couldn't stop drooling, but fortunately she was seen by the maid on the side, and hurriedly handed over a Jinpa.

Only then did Zi'er realize that she was out of shape, and her face was flushed with a look of chagrin.

Xu Fan, who was walking in front, smiled lightly, pointed to the stalls on the side of the street, and ordered, "What do you like to eat?" Childe is in for a treat tonight!"

"Really?" The two maids behind Zi'er and the family Ding Hu all showed a look of excitement on their faces.

Since they came to Jinling City, they have been shrinking in the Xu Mansion on Xuanwu Street.

Even if it was the Xu Mansion's usual purchase, they could only send the maids in the front yard to avoid being targeted by the hidden Yin and Yang Evil Sect spies.

Now, under the guidance of Xu Fan, he can finally go out shopping.

Tonight, Shao Angel entertained distinguished guests from all walks of life in Jinling City on the painting boat of the Qinhuai River, and Xu Fan was also invited.

He took this opportunity to take the people of the Wave Court who had been depressed for a long time out to relax.

There are all kinds of small vendors on both sides of the street, as well as a forest of wine shops, teahouses, rouge shops, groceries from the north and south, and even exotic beasts in the sea, which makes Zi'er and others happy.

Xu Fan nodded slightly towards Zi'er, his eyes full of doting on this little maid.

Since returning to Xu's Mansion, Zi'er has taken care of his daily life, food and clothing, and Xu Fan is not at ease with others.

If it weren't for seeing Zi'er being too tired, he would definitely not add someone to the Wave Court after coming to Jinling.

Even if Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui are the two clan uncles in the name of the two "grandfathers", they have urged many times, "Brother Fan, you live in the Wave Court alone, you are too lonely, you have to find some people to accompany you."

Xu Fan always bowed his head happily, but he never ordered anyone to go to the human tooth store to buy.

As the Qinhuai River got closer and closer, there were more and more scribes and scholars on the streets.

There are many families in Jinling City, and there is no shortage of powerful families. The nobles of these big clans have a hobby of wandering on the Qinhuai River.

As the name suggests, literati get together and chat about things.

Listening to the sound of the piano and flute coming from the river, the group has come to the riverside, and their eyes are full of luxurious painted boats of different sizes.

At a ferry port on the shore, two red-robed young eunuchs stood tall at the ferry, vigilantly watching the scholars who came and went, they really experienced a regret in life tonight.

It is more hateful than the eunuchs visiting the Qinglou, they are visiting the Qinhuai painting boat.

They didn't dare to ignore Shao Angel's absoluteness, and they could only slander in their hearts why the old ancestor chose to feast on all forces in Jinling in the painting boat.

There are also many famous restaurants in Jinling City, but they only choose to be on the painting boat of the Qinhuai River.

The two red-robed young eunuchs glanced at each other, and they both saw a thick look of incomprehension in each other's eyes, but no one dared to speak clearly.

Out of the corner of their eyes, they glanced at Xu Fan and the others in the crowd not far away, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, and they trembled when they remembered that several red-robed young eunuchs in Xu Mansion were beaten by this young man during the day.

Two reds

As soon as the young eunuch shook off his sleeve robe, straightened the brocade belt of the robe on his body, and planned to step forward to supply Xu Fan and his party.

However, a middle-aged man who was a little drunk turned out of nowhere and happened to bump into Xu Fan and his party.

Passers-by thought that the drunkard was drunk, but a cold glint flashed in Xu Fan's eyes.

The drunk man staggered, full of alcohol, and happened to crash into Zi'er, who was still eating and drinking at Xu Fan's side.

Zi'er was still silent in her hands at this time, and the two little maids beside her were carrying a large bag of food in their hands.

Even the servants and servants behind them didn't react for a while.

At the moment when he was about to bump into Zi'er, the drunkard's cloudy eyes suddenly cleared, and a cold light flashed under his sleeve robe. A cold, piercing dagger flew out of the robe.

Zi'er was chewing a big mouthful of hawthorn, and there was only the last sugar gourd left in her hand.

Seeing the cold glow, he subconsciously exclaimed in surprise and screamed, "Murder! Kill!"

However, there was a lot of noise all around, and Zi'er's voice was quickly drowned out.

Xu Fan stood in place, looked at the drunken man who pounced on him, hugged Zi'er with one hand, turned around easily, and landed Zi'er on the other side lightly, making the drunkard's dagger pierce the air.

Zi'er looked up at Xu Fan's calm eyes, delicate eyelashes, and indifferent expression, but she felt that her body was gently lifted, and then fluttered down on the other side of the child.

Holding a bag of pastries in his hand also spilled on the ground, his face was flushed and stunned, and the voice that was half exclaimed in his mouth stopped abruptly.

The drunken man did not give up, picked up the dagger and threw himself at the nearest little maid, the speed was extremely fast, and he did not give the little maid a chance to react at all.

The little maid was eating with pastries in both hands, and for a moment froze in place, not knowing what to do.

Before entering the Xu Mansion, she also heard that the Xu family had offended the nobles and suffered a great disaster in the Guangling Mansion. But in order to make a living, she had to sell herself to the Human Tooth Company.

After Xu Fu came to Jinling City, Xu Yuhui ordered everyone to buy a batch of innocent maids.

The little maid is one of them, and Xu Fan is also because Zi'er is too hardworking, so he has sent a few little maids to the Botao Court in recent days.

She has been an orphan since she was a child, and Xu Fan also took a fancy to her for no relatives and no reason, so she was specially recruited into the Xu Mansion Wave Court.

The cold light of the dagger in the little maid's eyes became bigger and bigger, and seeing that the dagger was about to stab her chest, she subconsciously threw out two large bags of pastries in her hands, trying to block the cold light.

The drunkard obviously won't give a chance to a weak little maid, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a drunken drunkard, going crazy with alcohol!

And Xu Fan on the side could see clearly that this drunk man had obviously been waiting here for a long time, just to kill the killer when Xu Fan and the others were most relaxed.

He thought that Xu Fan would be alert at the moment when he was about to board the painting boat ferry.

What's more, behind the drunkard are two red-robed young eunuchs dozens of feet away, who would have thought that someone would kill the visitors during the angel banquet from Shenjing.

It wasn't until they saw the cold rays of the dagger slicing through the night sky that the crowd in front of the ferry let out a loud exhale!

Suddenly, the surrounding literati, businessmen and tourists took refuge.

A large open space was instantly vacated around Xu Fan and the others, and the two red-robed young eunuchs were also blocked outside by the crowd and couldn't rush in for a while.

The two of them also wanted to see how Xu Fan saved people, and in their eyes, the drunk man did not escape.

The two also guessed the identity of the drunk, who was by no means an ordinary martial artist.

"Monk!"

"At least ten cyclone holes have been opened!"

The two exchanged glances, slowing down the pace of rushing into the crowd.

On the one hand, I want to see Xu Fan's choice, whether to save the little maid or protect the girl in purple beside him.

At the same time, the two of them had a strange idea in their hearts for some reason, hoping that the drunk man could give Xu Fan a fatal blow

, which can be regarded as revenge for the red-robed young eunuchs who lost face in the Xu Mansion.

In front of everyone's eyes, the cold light of the dagger pierced a large bag of pastries, and the oiled paper packets were pierced by the cold light, turning into crumbs in the sky, and the pastries were scattered in all directions.

The drunkard's speed increased a few more points, and the speed of the dagger in his hand also increased a lot, and the cold light passed through the position of the oiled paper bag in mid-air, and stabbed the little maid in the chest from top to bottom.

On the shore in front of the ferry, the bluestone floor appeared several web-like cracks under the drunkard's rapid stepping, and every time the drunk took a quick step forward, several bluestone fragments would be splashed under his feet.

"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~"

The bluestone fragments were only the size of a fingertip, and they were extremely fast, like a gust of wind, in different directions.

Among them, there were a few pieces towards Zi'er and several other little servants and another little maid.

The faces of everyone who passed with Xu Fan showed a look of horror, and their faces turned pale.

All of them are under the shroud of death, and the next moment they may be pierced through their bodies by fingertip-sized rubble.

Everyone looked at Xu Fan at the same time, hoping that a miracle could occur at this moment, and their young master could save them.

Even the onlookers trembled in their hearts, thinking that it was just a drunk man who was drunk and crazy, but now it seems that he is deliberately seeking revenge.

Xu Fan rarely shows up outside, especially in a place like Qinhuai River. No one recognized his identity, and many people looked at the drunkard's fierce eyes, and they all pinched a cold sweat for the master and servant of this line.

"Quick! Come on!"

"Someone is going to commit murder!"

"What about the people of the government! Street Patrol Officer!"

"Where is the Wuhou of Jinling Mansion!"

For a while, the people who were surrounding and constantly retreating kept shouting behind them.

Everyone came out to play, and they didn't want to be threatened by this.

The corners of the drunkard's mouth rose slightly, as a monk who had opened thirteen cyclone holes, he disguised himself as a drunkard, just for this moment.

He knew that he couldn't kill Xu Fan at all, but as long as one of the people around him died, his assassination tonight would be considered to have completed the task.

As long as he kills someone, it doesn't matter who Xu Fan is around.

can blame this assassination on the Nan'an Palace, and it is not a blame, he is the secret guard raised by the Nan'an Palace.

Xu Fan did not disappoint the group beside him. He met the cold light with one hand along the gap in the pastry that flew around, and the cold dagger of the head of the house with two easy fingers kicked out with a heavy kick.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the drunk flew out upside down and fell to the ground, a large mouthful of blood spilling out from the corner of his mouth, staining the bluestone bricks under him red.

However, the bluestone fragments that were splashed by the drunken man were still rushing towards the entourage, and they were about to pierce the bodies of several people.
