On the street outside Lin'an City, Shen Yanshu listened to it and was already ugly, the candlelight in the room was jumping, and the candle was about to burn to the end.

She turned her head to look at Liu Xi'er, the girl who insisted on waiting for the news was so tired that she closed her eyes.

Shen Yanshu got up, took off the cloak hanging on the clothes stick next to the bed, and draped it on her body.

She was about to get up and walk out of the room, and was about to open the door, but her hand paused, and suddenly she heard soft footsteps on the roof, which seemed to be quite a few people.

She sank her eyes, she really didn't guess wrong, if the person who killed Liu Yue and Yuwen Lingxiao were not the same people, then after they knew that Liu Xi'er was not dead, they would definitely send someone to solve Liu Xi'er again.

Glancing at Liu Xi'er, who was still asleep, Shen Yanshu didn't plan to wake her up.

With a wave of her hand, she extinguished all the candles in the room, and the room became dark in an instant.

The man in black on the roof saw that the lights in the room were turned off in an instant, and he became vigilant for a while.

Just as he was trying to find out who was in the house, a person suddenly rushed out from behind and kicked two of the killers out of the yard with a direct horizontal kick.

The others were startled and turned their heads to look at Ah Qi.

Ah Qi frowned slightly, drew his sword, and stabbed at them, those killers didn't pay much attention to Ah Qi's age, but after the fight, they felt extremely difficult, and none of the four people besieging him had the upper hand.

And the two killers who were kicked to the ground by Ah Qi just now walked towards the room, and were about to push open the door, when suddenly a knife shot out of the room, straight through the throat, the person only fell to the ground upright, and the other person looked into the room in shock and saw Shen Yanshu who was stepping out.

He looked at her in surprise, but he didn't expect it to be a woman.

Shen Yanshu's eyes were exceptionally bright in the dark night, she jumped up, and immediately came to the front of the killer, grabbed his right wrist holding the sword, and then turned around and hit him hard with her elbow, dodging the sword in his hand, and inserting her backhand into his abdomen.

Pulling the sword out, it was already dark red.

Hearing the sound on the roof, Shen Yanshu stepped forward and directly knocked all the four people under him to the ground side by side with Ah Qi.

Four were seriously wounded and unable to move.

The guards of the Tea House heard the movement, entered the courtyard one after another, saw the scene, surrounded them all, and then bet on the killers who fell to the ground.

Liu Xi'er, who was still in the room, heard the movement, and woke up in fright, raised her head, patted her dizzy head, and tried to make herself sober.

She looked at her cloak, fastened it directly, and walked out of the courtyard.

"Miss, you're not hurt, are you?" asked the little guy.

Liu Xi'er looked at everything in the courtyard, and suddenly understood, someone was sneaking up tonight.

The four killers glanced at each other, and before Liu Xi'er could ask, dark red blood spat out of their mouths, and they all fell to the ground in an instant, out of breath.

Shen Yanshu stepped forward to probe his nose, looked at their bloodstains, and said, "They committed suicide by taking poison." ”

Liu Xi'er frowned: "Could it be that the fifth prince sent someone to retaliate?"

Shen Yanshu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." ”

Liu Xi'er was puzzled.

"Yuwen Lingxiao has a handle on us, although he wants to teach us a lesson, but he will also be afraid. Shen Yanshu explained, "This is obviously someone who took advantage of Yuwen Lingxiao as a cover to get rid of your mother and daughter, don't forget, Yuwen Lingxiao said that he didn't embarrass Liu Yue, but something happened to Zhuangzi, so it is very likely that someone is secretly playing tricks, and even Yuwen Lingxiao knows what he wants to do." ”

Liu Xi'er listened to her analysis like this, and thought about it in her heart.

Shen Yanshu lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and guessed: "Perhaps, even what Yuwen Lingxiao wants to do was planned by him. ”

Liu Xi'er stepped forward and looked at the corpses of the killers, trying to get people to find some clues from them, but found nothing.

She had to have people carry these corpses down and clean them up, and let him check them when An Ruyi came back.

"Miss—" A guard walked in from outside.

Liu Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "But there is news of my mother?"

The guard nodded and said, "Yes, the proprietress has found it, although she was a little injured, but now she is safe, Lord An asked her subordinates to come back and send a message to Miss, so that you can rest in peace." ”

Hearing the news that Liu Yue was fine, Liu Xi'er covered her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief, she was really scared to death.

Shen Yanshu said: "The two assassinations failed, presumably the people behind it will definitely be more cautious, there should be no more things today, so I will go back first, you can rest for a long time." ”

Liu Xi'er nodded, looking at Shen Yanshu, but her heart was full of gratitude.

If it weren't for Shen Yanshu, I'm afraid she wouldn't know how to spend it today.

Shen Yanshu walked out of the Tea House, it was already night, and there was no one on the street for a long time.

She could feel that someone had followed her out of the Tea House, but after going around a few times, she finally got rid of them and went back to Ni's Mansion directly.

Shen Yanshu's identity Ni Zhen naturally gave her plenty of space, and it was her freedom to go wherever she went.

It's just that today's events made it difficult for her.

originally thought that as long as Huo Shu found Liu Yue's mother and daughter, everything would be happy, but he didn't expect that their mother and daughter seemed to have a lot of relationships in Lin'an City.

In the case of Anruyi, this is a problem.

At noon the next day, An Ruyi led someone to send Liu Yue back to the Tea House.

Liu Xi'er heard the news of her mother's return, trotted out, and happened to see them who were coming back, seeing her mother's pale face, she stepped forward and looked at Liu Yue carefully: "Mother, are you okay?"

Liu Yue was distressed when she saw Liu Xi'er so nervous, and she must have been frightened.

Liu Yue said: "Mother is fine, you don't have to worry." ”

Liu Xi'er turned her head and saw Huo Shu on the side, she was slightly stunned, and then saluted him: "My daughter has seen her father." ”

Huo Shu hurriedly helped her up, but his eyes were full of joy: "Cherish your ......"

"Miss Ni has already made things clear to me. Liu Xi'er said.

Huo Shu lowered his eyes and said: "It's good that you don't blame your father, I'm sorry for you for so many years." ”

Liu Yue looked at their father and daughter like this, couldn't help but redden, and said, "Okay, don't stand outside, let's go into the house first." ”

An Ruyi stood aside and looked at their family of three, feeling inexplicably a little lost, but she still looked at them lightly and didn't speak.

Liu Xi'er walked a few steps, then remembered An Ruyi behind her, turned to him and said, "Thank you Ruyi." ”

An Ruyi chuckled: "Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you." ”

Liu Xi'er saw that her parents had entered the lobby of the backyard, and she said to An Ruyi: "There are some things that I think need me to make clear to you." ”

An Ruyi looked at her and didn't speak.

The two of them stood under the tree, and An Ruyi let the subordinates and the guards retreat.

Liu Xi'er said: "I'm sorry, I haven't told you, I'm from Da Zhou." ”

"I already know. An Ruyi said, "It doesn't matter. ”

Liu Xi'er said: "My father was a general of the Great Zhou. ”

"Then you came to Daqi to be a fine worker?" An Ruyi asked.

Liu Xi'er frowned: "Naturally, there is none!"

An Ruyi said: "Then in that case, why apologize? You are still the same you I know, but you have an extra identity, and there is nothing to be sorry for." ”

The breeze blew and gently blew the ends of her hair, Liu Xi'er looked at An Ruyi and was speechless for a while.

An Ruyi has always been tolerant of her, but Liu Xi'er has mixed feelings in her heart.

"When you went to break the temple yesterday, who calculated you?" An Ruyi suddenly asked.

Liu Xi'er was stunned and hesitated.

Does she want to tell An Ruyi that he is the Fifth Prince? He knows that An Ruyi will believe, but if he knows that he has a conflict with the Fifth Prince, it will bring him a lot of trouble, right?

She flashed her eyes and said, "I don't know, they ran away without interrogation." ”

An Ruyi's deep eyes flowed, and he stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders.

"Tell me the truth, don't lie to me, anyone can lie to me, but you can't. ”

His words were very light, but every word was said with gritted teeth, and the tone sounded extremely sad, even Liu Xi'er was stunned, in the past, An Ruyi liked to smile shallowly when he spoke, and he seemed to be indifferent to anything.

"Yes......"

Before Liu Xi'er finished speaking, An Ruyi's hand was directly beaten down by Huo Shu, An Ruyi dodged, but Huo Shu stretched out his hand to him and slapped him again, and the two of them came to the courtyard.

"You ...... Don't fight!" Liu Xi'er saw Huo Shu and An Ruyi like this, and hurriedly persuaded on the side.

After listening to Liu Xi'er's words, the two finally stopped, just looked at each other, and some of them didn't like each other.

"I said, stay away from my daughter. Huo Shu said coldly.

An Ruyi's eyes flashed, he turned his head to look at Liu Xi'er, and said, "I'll go back first, you have a good rest." ”

"Ruyi. Liu Xi'er called him, "I'm sorry." ”

An Ruyi didn't turn around, and walked straight out, leaving only one sentence: "It's not your fault." ”

Liu Xi'er sighed lightly, a little guilty.

Huo Shu walked in front of Liu Xi'er and said, "I know that he is good to your mother and daughter, but this person obviously has other thoughts about you, you ......"

"Father, I know. I'm not a four or five-year-old girl anymore. Liu Xi'er replied, turned around and went back to the room.

Huo Shu stood in place, and the father-daughter relationship that had just improved seemed to be a little stiff because of a certain stinky boy.

For An Ruyi, Huo Shu originally had no opinion on him, but Liu Xi'er was his daughter, how could he allow his daughter to be with such a scheming man?
