A verdant leaf swayed in the wind and left the treetops, a precursor to checkmate death.

The Assassin was struck in the heart, then stopped beating, and the black-clad Assassin fell to the ground with the knife in his chest, and although it was about to dawn, he did not have time to see the sun again.

Xu Changan sat on the ground casually, holding the black sword in his hand, panting violently, covering his abdomen with one free hand, and when he raised it again, he already saw blood.

There was a small wound in the abdomen, and if it weren't for Cui Xianggong's arrow, the wound would be much deeper.

Seeing that the situation had been decided, Cui Xianggong had already put away the bow and arrows and carried them back on his back, and the sword at his waist was never unsheathed.

looked at the assassin who fell to the ground, and then looked at Xu Chang'an, who was sitting next to the assassin panting, and asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you spare his life?"

Xu Changan didn't bother to explain to him that he couldn't ask this kind of question from this person's mouth, so he just replied casually: "I thought the people on your side weren't dead." ”

Cui Xianggong frowned slightly and shook his head slightly, "Through the tone of your words, I can know that you are not telling the truth." ”

Xu Changan was really helpless about Cui Xianggong's entanglement, wiped the sweat from his forehead, sat on the ground and covered his chest and explained: "This is a real assassin, and it is not safe to leave him alive." ”

In addition to being unsafe, more importantly, asking can't tell anything.

What words and deeds extort confessions, through the eyes of the other party, Xu Changan knew that those assassins had experienced darker things, playing with knives in front of the other party, it was no different from pretending to be a monkey in front of a monkey.

Cui Xianggong nodded slightly and said with a wry smile: "I was thinking of asking something, but it seems that it was a risk in vain." ”

Xu Changan sat on the ground, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he suddenly stared at the other party's eyes and asked, "Cui Xianggong, Cui Xianggong, you want to catch the assassin so much and ask something, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as helping me, right?"

Cui Xianggong also smiled, and didn't want to hide anything from Xu Changan's questioning, but just sat beside him, looked at the corpse in front of him and replied: "Since the people who killed us are not the same as the ones who killed you, this also means that as long as you find out the person who killed you first, and the person who is the opposite of the person behind the scenes, it should be to kill us, help you and help us, I think there should be no conflict between this." ”

This speculation is very illogical, but there is some truth when you think about it.

As I said before, these are two groups of people, but these two Assassins chose to fish in troubled waters when the other group is moving, and the assassination must have been done in such a way that it is impossible to be careless enough to let others know in advance and use it.

But the two bodies that fell on the ground showed that the two men were watching each other closely, waiting for one to make a move, and the other to be able to accomplish his own purpose through the other's movements.

Although Cui Xianggong can analyze some truth by thinking about the problem in this way, it is still unreasonable in Xu Changan's opinion, Xu Changan chuckled lightly and said: "What if the person who killed me was instructed by the same person as the person who killed you?"

Cui Xianggong was slightly stunned, fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he spoke: "The same person did it, but he wanted to send two groups of people to assassinate him, this..."

Xu Changan pulled out the black sword from the ground, walked forward, and said, "I just guessed at random, the person who killed me should not be my father, and he did it to his own son." Xu Changan chuckled, and then said: "I often hear people in the city say that the face is born from the heart, and the face is born from the heart. My father, although he really doesn't look like that, but it's not to the point of madness, but I really can't think of anyone other than my father who can arrange an assassination that targets me. ”

Cui Xianggong stood up, looked at the little back and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Xu Changan yawned, pulled up the package hanging on the horse's back, and replied casually: "Find a place to sleep well." Then he frowned slightly and said, "Then there is one more thing to go to the capital." ”

Grabbed the package, his left hand trembled a little because he was too hard, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Originally, I just wanted to ask for justice, worship a teacher, and find my father again, but now..."

Cui Xianggong looked at Xu Changan and suddenly felt that something was not quite right with him, could it be that he was too angry to be assassinated?

Although he was really annoyed when he walked on the road inexplicably and suddenly knew that someone was going to kill him, if Xu Changan could be so angry because of this, he would have been angry to death as early as last autumn.

This shows that Xu Changan was angry about another thing, and before he could speak, he put down the black sword in his hand, and hurriedly pulled the package on the horse's back with both hands.

His first reaction after resting his strength just now was to pick up his package full of money, but it wasn't until he lifted it with both hands that he realized that although the package was still so big, it had become much lighter.

It doesn't matter if you are killed, just kill the other party in turn, how can you bear it if you don't have the money?

Xu Changan looked at the package that was full of clothes that he had opened, and shouted angrily: "Who stole Lao Tzu's money!"

Cui Xianggong was slightly stunned, looking at the young man who was about to be angry, thinking that he hadn't seen him so angry when he was about to be killed?

He stepped forward and asked, "How much money was lost?"

Xu Changan was furious at this time, but he didn't have a good temper, and when he heard the other party ask, he said angrily: "How much is it? It's enough to buy your father's official." ”

......

Cui Xianggong was slightly stunned, his father is the imperial historian, ranked the third prince, and it doesn't matter if he can get to this position, but Xu Changan said that the small package is enough to buy the official of the imperial historian, and said with a wry smile: "That's really a lot of money." ”

"If you have the ability to come out and fight with the master, what kind of ability is it to cut off people's food and grass!"

Cui Xianggong's face twitched violently on one side, good guy, this person is forced to use the art of war, and if you think about it carefully, stealing people's money is indeed no different from cutting off people's food and grass.

Maybe he was tired of scolding, Xu Changan rubbed the six gold cakes on his chest, touched his sleeves again, and collapsed on the ground without any energy, speechless and bitter thinking to himself, how did he not know how to hide more money on his body at the beginning.

The sky is about to dawn, and it is estimated that in one or two hours and the reinforcements of Anjun will be able to catch up with the two of them, and there is no problem with eating and drinking along the way, but what about getting to the capital?

Xu Changan's eyes turned slightly, coughed lightly twice, looked at this young man who was older than himself, and said seriously: "Anyway, you have also used me, and I am also a person who has been a young master, and I have been used like this, so naturally it will not just pass, and when I get to the capital, this..."

Cui Xianggong frowned slightly, and there was an inquiring meaning in his eyes.

Xu Changan saw that the other party really didn't understand what he meant, so he made it clear, smiled slightly, and said with flattery: "When you get to the capital, drag your father to find us an errand, no need for high-ranking officials, just have a place to eat and live, otherwise... Hey. ”

Cui Xianggong completely understood what the other party meant, and the corners of his mouth also showed a hint of a smile, and asked, "You should know that I am better than you." ”

Xu Changan laughed twice, "You know, how?

Cui Xianggong held a sword in his right hand, his thumb flicked slightly, and a trace of edge suddenly appeared in the night, along with this edge, Cui Xianggong said lightly: "You should also know that your death will be counted on these two assassins." ”

Xu Changan nodded slightly, rubbed his neck, turned his head, and said, "You said, those people who asked for help should have arrived in He'an County, right?"

Cui Xianggong replied simply: "Naturally, I will, maybe I believe that I should have arrived in the capital." ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh. Do you say that after He'an County receives the news, will you send a letter to the imperial court to explain what happened here?"

"Sending troops to support should not conflict with sending a letter to the capital. ”

"Since the letter will be delivered, do you think you will be mentioned in the letter?"

"I didn't follow the convoy to He'an County, so the county keeper would naturally write a few more words to explain. ”

"Since you said that the Spirit Academy is so strong, and you also said that you are a student of the Spirit Academy, the Spirit Academy should also know about it. ”

Cui Xianggong nodded slightly and replied, "The Spirit Academy should already know. ”

Xu Changan asked again, "Do you think that seventh uncle in your family will remember my physiognomy clearly?"

"Holding a black sword, a young man in black, these characteristics should not be difficult to remember. ”

Xu Changan nodded with some satisfaction, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, raised the black sword in his hand, looked at the unsharp sword body and said, "You may not know where this sword came from." This sword was given to me by Mr. Jiu, since you said that the letter should have arrived in the capital a long time ago, I wonder if you can ask how long it will take for the great cultivators to arrive at us from the capital?"

Cui Xianggong pressed his thumb lightly, and there was no trace of that edge, just like Cui Xianggong had never made this action, and replied with the same smile: "It should be almost there." ”

Xu Changan looked at the package with less money, pointed to the other party and said: "In this package, the money is gone, you have been secretly seizing the opportunity, but who did it?"

Cui Xianggong shook his head, "I haven't seen it." ”

Xu Changan chuckled: "So." ”

Cui Xianggong said: "So, I can't kill you, and I can't kill you." But if I take advantage of you, I have to pay for it, and only then will you not tell the Spirit Academy about these things when you get to the capital. ”

Xu Changan said with great satisfaction: "The son can be taught, you have no reason to kill me." ”

Cui Xianggong smiled: "I know, but the so-called use in your mouth alone can't threaten my father." ”

Xu Changan suddenly realized, and then he understood why Cui Xianggong threatened himself with murder.

Although he said that the other party had used him, but the imperial historian would be this kind of fool?

But Cui Xianggong moved the murderous intent, he moved the murderous intent to the students selected by Mr. Jiu, in order to seal his mouth and prevent the Spirit Academy from knowing these things, the imperial doctor will definitely try his best to meet all the requirements of Xu Chang'an, so what is the problem of arranging a small official position for him to eat well?

Xu Changan couldn't help but laugh twice, gave a thumbs up to the other party, and exclaimed: "Gao Ming, Gao Ming, it seems that you are more professional than me." ”

Cui Xianggong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The two of them raised their feet and walked forward.

"Don't want the package?" asked Choi Sang-gong from behind.

"The money is gone, what's the use of clothes. ”

"By the way, why didn't you come out and hack him to death with me just now?"

"A gentleman taught us that if we hurt ourselves to save others, we should be brave and good instead of wise. ”

"Your gentleman is really not fit to be a gentleman, which gentleman, I will have to 'visit' him when the time comes. ”

"Mr. Juan. ”

"Dwelling... Mr. Juan? It's a good visit. ”

Xu Changan's words were just to scare Cui Xianggong, but he didn't know that the man in black had indeed come.

Yang Hejiu looked at the package that had stolen the money on the horse's back, then looked at the corpse on the ground, and looked around for a moment, but he didn't see anything.
