The door of the room was gently closed, and Shen Yanshu watched them step forward lightly, with light steps, and it might be really difficult for ordinary people to discover their existence.

One of them stood in the center of the room, presumably their eldest, and he motioned for the other to walk over to Shen Yanshu's bed, making a motion to wipe his neck, his eyes glowing cold.

The man stepped forward with his sword, approached and saw Shen Yanshu lying on the bed sleeping with his eyes closed, and raised his hand to kill Shen Yanshu, but his sword was just about to fall, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, Shen Yanshu opened his eyes suddenly, dodged sideways, picked up the Lingyun sword hidden in the quilt and stabbed it directly into the man's heart.

"Ahh

Hearing the man's scream, Shen Yanshu pulled out his sword, and then raised his foot and kicked the person out.

Then with a "bump-" sound, the man arrived at the table, spat out a mouthful of blood, and died directly!

The man in black standing in the room looked at her in surprise, watching her slowly get up from the bed, holding a sword that was still dripping with bright red blood in her slender and slender hand, and walked towards him step by step.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and wondered if the person in front of him was Shen Yanshu, or if he had fallen for someone else's trick?

"Aren't you Shen Yanshu?" he asked.

Shen Yanshu looked at him coldly and did not answer his question.

The man in black suddenly realized something, and turned his head to see Xiyan, who was also holding a sword, standing behind him.

At this time, it was in vain to say anything, he suddenly wanted to reach out and whistle as a signal to remind the two companions who were still outside to let out the wind, where was Shen Yanshu willing to give him a chance, stepped forward with his sword, and slashed directly towards him.

The man blocked it with his sword, and at this time, Xi Yan also attacked from behind, so he had to push Shen Yanshu's sword away with all his strength, then turned over on the table, and then fought with the two of them.

Gradually, he began to feel powerless, Shen Yanshu's martial arts were beyond his expectations, and with a difficult Xiyan, the man in black knew that he couldn't fight, so he could only find a chance to escape.

As soon as he was slightly distracted, Xi Yan cut a big hole in his arm, and the pain came from his arm, and he subconsciously dodged Xi Yan's continuous attacks, but Shen Yanshu picked off his masked towel.

Seeing his face, Shen Yanshu frowned and said, "Ouchi guard Gu Zhi?"

Shen Yanshu's words were very light, but they were still heard by Gu Zhi, and he was also stunned.

There was a lot of fighting in the room, and the two people who were outside finally felt that something was wrong, kicked the door in, and saw Gu Zhi who was covering his wounds.

When Xi Yan saw this posture, he knew that they were difficult to deal with, so he hurriedly shouted: "Help!

Her voice was not small, and it was so loud in the quiet of the night that her shouts could be heard almost throughout the inn.

The first to react was the guard brought by Xiao Lu, who originally thought that he had cleaned up the seven killers tonight and could rest assured that he could rest assured in the middle of the night, but as soon as he heard Xiyan's voice, he hurriedly rushed over with his weapons.

The three black-clothed men looked at each other, just one look, and they immediately decided to kill Shen Yanshu first!

Shen Yanshu clenched the Lingyun Sword in his hand, among the three inner guards, Gu Zhi was their leader, and his martial arts were also the highest, but if he wanted to take her life, he still underestimated her!

The three of them held their swords and stepped forward, with swords and swords, Shen Yanshu was not afraid, now that she knew the identities of these people, she naturally would no longer have any scruples, even if these people were left alive, it would be difficult to get any useful information.

When the guards entered, there were only two men left in black, and they were all wounded, and they hurried forward to arrest the men in black.

Gu Zhi saw that it was impossible to kill Shen Yanshu anymore in this situation, and continuing to entangle would only take the lives of the two of them again, so the two of them approached the window.

Realizing their intention to escape, Shen Yanshu heard Xiao Nansheng stop her just before she wanted to catch up.

"Cousin, Miss Xiyan, are you all right?" Xiao Nansheng stepped forward and asked.

"Bang!", the two of them kicked the window open and jumped directly from the second floor of the inn.

Shen Yanshu said in a loud voice: "Stop them!"

If he hadn't stopped it, Gu Zhi would definitely report his martial arts skills to the queen, and King Ning's party would inevitably target the Shen family, and even she would have more trouble.

Such a situation can only be solved on the spot!

But Xiyan looked out the window, where was Gu Zhi's shadow!

Six of the guards chased them outside, leaving two to guard them.

Shen Yanshu's white dress was stained red with bloodstains, and it looked extraordinarily infiltrating bit by bit, Xiao Nansheng asked, "Is my cousin injured?"

Shen Yanshu shook his head: "It's a pity that I couldn't catch them." ”

Xiyan had a fire in her heart, and said angrily: "If it weren't for you guys coming, they wouldn't have been able to escape!"

Xiao Nansheng didn't know the situation, but said: "But we can't come, how dangerous your two girls' homes are!"

"Just you, a powerless son, we will protect you when you come!" Xiyan said.

Xiao Nansheng is not happy, although his martial arts are not high, but at least he has learned a lot of self-defense skills, and he is actually looked down upon by a little woman?

"Miss Xiyan, you can't say that......"

Shen Yanshu interrupted them and said, "Okay, okay, what's the use of talking about this now, hurry up and let people clean up the room, and let's go change clothes." ”

Xiao Nansheng and Xi Yan both shut up and walked away silently.

Xiao Lu and Shen Yan'an came over, and they were also surprised when they saw this scene, they didn't expect that there had just been an assassination, and there were a group of killers behind them, they were really unlucky.

Xiao Lu changed Shen Yanshu to a clean room, but there was still an hour before dawn, and Shen Yanshu couldn't close his eyes even if he rested.

I don't know if this Gu Zhi will go back to Chang'an directly after escaping or continue to find an opportunity to deal with her in secret.

"Miss, how do you know that they are Ouchi guards?"

After changing his clothes, Shen Yanshu walked out from behind the screen, and Xiyan asked the question in his heart suspiciously.

Shen Yanshu explained: "If it is an ordinary Ouchi guard, it is naturally difficult for me to remember, but the leader of the assassination tonight is a small captain of the Ouchi guard, Gu Zhi. He is a child of the Gu family's branch, and he should be Gu Ziyi's distant cousin, in order to cultivate her power, the queen naturally installed her own people in the inner guards, and Gu Zhi is one of her minions. ”

"How could the queen send someone to assassinate Miss, we didn't reveal our identities. Xiyan was even more puzzled.

Shen Yanshu said, "With our current status, it is enough for her to send someone to kill us." King Ning originally wanted to marry me, but Yan Qinghan took the lead, so he was naturally angry, and the queen has always been a grudge-minded person, and what she can't get is often ruined, how can she be willing to keep me and let others laugh at their mother and son?"

Xiyan said: "The queen is really ruthless, and she actually sent Gu Zhi." ”

"It's a pity that we are not lambs to be slaughtered in her hands. Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, as long as she got the Qilin Talisman and had her own strength, she would not be afraid of their power at that time.

At dawn, Shen Yanshu walked out of the inn, and just wanted to continue his journey, but a few people surrounded not far from the inn, and some officers and soldiers were there.

Shen Yan'an asked, "How can there be a quick catch, hasn't they already solved the matter last night?"

Xiao Nansheng asked one of the guards to come forward and ask.

Soon the guard came back and reported to Xiao Nansheng: "The bodies of two black-clothed people were found there, it seems that the two people who escaped yesterday were there. ”

Shen Yanshu was a little surprised when he heard this.

Xi Yan stepped forward to check, and sure enough, it was Gu Zhi and another Ouchi guard, who were almost killed by a knife.

But last night, the two of them had obviously jumped out of the window and escaped, even the guards didn't find any trace of them, why did they die here now?

And with their martial arts, even if they are injured, it is difficult for ordinary people to kill them with one sword.

Could it be that someone is secretly helping them?

As soon as Gu Zhi died, not only did he solve Shen Yanshu's current problem, but the queen was not easy to explain to the Gu family.

This Gu Zhi is the sister-in-law of the side branch of the Gu family, and he has always been deeply favored, because he is excellent among many children, and he originally wanted him to take his official career, but he was selected by the queen to be the inner guard, because he can often show his face in front of the emperor, and his future prospects are also excellent, and the people of the Gu family naturally have no objections.

Now that Gu Zhi has died inexplicably, how could the Gu family not ask the queen for an explanation.

But the queen has never liked others to question her authority, and if the Gu family asks her for an explanation, she can only get a perfunctory reply and compensation.

Even if the people of the Gu family branch have any opinions about the queen, they can't do anything, but this matter will always be a pimple in their hearts, and they naturally don't have the trust they had in the Hengguo Mansion.

Thinking of this, Shen Yanshu could be regarded as having a bad breath.

It's just that she can't think of who is secretly solving Gu Zhi, is it friend or foe, or is it just an unintentional move?

After two assassinations, Xiao Lu's guards raised their vigilance, but in the next few days, their journey was extremely dull.

Xi Yan and Xiao Nansheng hadn't spoken since that day, Shen Yanshu looked at Xiao Nansheng's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, just smiled and shook his head, and continued to hurry.

"Miss, you can go to Jiangzhou City tomorrow afternoon, and take a rest at this inn tonight. Xiyan stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the carriage and said.

Shen Yanshu nodded, and asked again, "How much distance is there from Jiangzhou City to Baiyue Mountain?"

Xiyan said: "Baiyue Mountain is on the outskirts of Bai'an County, Jiangzhou, and if you ride a horse, it takes a day to go back and forth. ”

Shen Yanshu thought for a while and said, "Later, you will ask Cousin Xiao, after you have met the elders in Jiangzhou, what is the closest time to visit Moon Mountain?"

"The temple on Moon Worship Mountain is still quite famous in Jiangzhou, and we can go there to pray for blessings. Xiyan suggested.

This coincides with Shen Yanshu's thoughts, so that he can be with the people of the Xiao family, and generally does not appear abrupt.
