Su Ai kills someone outside of the battlefield for the first time.

He swam deeper into the water, and then remained motionless, surrounded by darkness, with only a gentle stream of water passing by, followed by a stirring, which he had never done before, and then he raised his narrow knife and stabbed at the target above, neither fast nor slow.

The narrow knife stabbed something, and the violent twisting almost made the knife out of his hand, Su Ai quickly withdrew his weapon and swam in the direction he came, until his chest was stuffy, and then he floated to the water, raised his head to show his nostrils, took a few breaths, returned to the water, and never looked back again.

No one was chasing, Su Ai went ashore, stood against the city wall for a while, waited for the water droplets on his body to be gone, and then climbed the wall to enter the city, carefully along the way, came to the Gu family's old mansion in advance, and waited for Gu Shenwei in the barren grass, suddenly his heart fluctuated, both proud and panicked, suspecting that the skills he "learned" tonight did not meet the expectations of the head of the sect.

When Gu Shenwei arrived, he didn't ask about his performance or judge, but immediately gave him another task.

Su Ai returned the narrow knife, but Gu Shenwei handed him the scabbard as well, "You need it more." ”

Su Ai couldn't calm the excitement in his heart, and before he split up again, he asked, "When can I use it?"

"When you feel the danger. Gu Shenwei didn't remember that he had similar doubts in the past, of course, the capital of the Central Plains was not Biyu City, and killing people here was the prerogative of the official family, and ordinary people were not allowed to touch it.

"But how do I know...... Has this person's relationship been severed?"

It turned out that he was worried about this, Gu Shenwei thought for a while, "It's very simple, when the other party abandons the rules to kill you, he must have thought that he has cut off your relationship, and at the same time, he has also cut off his own relationship." ”

It took Su Ai a while to understand the meaning of this sentence: when the killer created a murderous atmosphere, he was actually putting himself to death, and if he was killed in action, he would die as he deserved, and neither the head of the family nor the employer could avenge him.

He bent down and left with his knife.

Jishengfang is indeed easy to find, when Su Ai arrived, it happened to be the sound of the five watch drums, and soon after, the sky was about to dawn, and there was silence all around, but he didn't know how to tell if there were traps here.

He knew who the child named Lin Xin was, he had heard the story of Lin Xiaoshan and Jiang, and he was the same as the narrator Shangguan Ru, so he firmly believed that Gu Shenwei was not a bad person from the beginning.

Su Ai pulled his thoughts back to the current situation, he couldn't determine whether there was an ambush in Jishengfang, and more importantly, he didn't know Lin Xin.

Lin Xiaoshan's son was only a little more than three years old when he fell into Xiao Wangfu, and after nearly a year, he probably doesn't remember much anymore.

Su Ai touched it in his arms, fortunately, the silver was there, it was not lost in the river, there should be dozens of taels scattered around, maybe he could buy a certain servant and bring Lin Xin out directly.

He decided to wait until dawn, so he stood under the eaves of the street and sorted out his clothes, trying to make them dry a little longer.

Two men in black jumped out of Jishengfang and ran down the street, one of them holding something under his arm.

The two of them moved quickly, and if Su Ai hadn't looked up occasionally, he would probably miss them.

Su Ai clung to the wall, watched the two run away, and immediately made a decision to follow them.

On the street, the two changed out of black clothes, put the things under their arms on a trolley with some vegetables piled on it, pretending to be vegetable farmers who had just entered the city, and openly marched on the road.

As the day gradually brightened, and the number of pedestrians on the street increased, Su Ai put the narrow knife on his thigh, trying not to attract attention, and followed from a distance, buying a few breakfast items on the road, and eating while walking.

Su Ai was not familiar with the capital, so he didn't know where they were walking, and after nearly an hour, the first two finally arrived at their destination, pushing the cart into a mansion through the door.

Su Ai continued to walk, stopped at a street wonton stall, asked for a bowl, paid in advance, chatted with the stall owner while eating, asked about the nearby places of interest in the tone of foreign guests, and finally pointed to the garden opposite and said: "Whose house is this, it looks good, I don't know if I can go in and have a look." ”

The stall owner smiled and said: "At first glance, you are a guest from other places, you can't just go in and watch it here, it is not 'anyone's', it is the official staff." ”

Su Ai pretended to be surprised, "What is the Instrument Staff Bureau for? ”

"You don't know this, what flags, big umbrellas, and vehicles are specialized in manufacturing official household items, and they have been built less over the years, just tinkering. The garden was built 20 years ago, and a kind adult felt that the cane was disturbing, so he planted some flowers and plants......"

The stall owner chattered about the past 20 years ago, until another customer arrived.

Su Ai finished eating the wontons and decided to go back to the Huaixi Pavilion first, and when he got up, the narrow knife attached to his lap was revealed, and the stall owner was startled, and watched him walk away blankly, regretting that he had just talked too much.

He passed through the gate of the Staff Bureau again, and saw that the main gate and the side gate were tightly closed, unlike the mansion in Beicheng, where there were no servants and guards guarding the door outside.

Su Ai was going to walk around the cane board, and when he reached the back alley, for the first time in his life, he had an intuitive alertness to the trap, it was a strange feeling, it was not someone nearby, but those empty places, they seemed to have bad intentions, he turned back to the street, and walked briskly north.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the pedestrians on the street were much denser than those in Beicheng, bustling with each other, Su Ai still immediately recognized the enemy in the crowd, at least four people, dressed differently, and did not speak to each other, like strangers, but they refused to accept the pedestrian rules, stuck to their own walking direction, and blocked all possible escape routes.

Su Ai pretended to check the objects on the roadside stalls, and saw that someone was slowly approaching behind her.

He was surrounded, there was no way to escape, it was time to use the narrow knife, he thought, but this was in broad daylight, and showing the Western Regions-style weapon was likely to cause unpredictable results.

At the same time, Gu Shenwei was preparing to leave for Chengjiazhuang in Huaixi Pavilion, but he did not catch the "talking master", but just stepped on the point and decided to wait for a day before acting.

Early in the morning there was something he needed to deal with.

Pang Jing sent someone to send the news that the Queen Mother had no intention of summoning Gu Shenwei, claiming that such behavior was "uncourteous", and there was no movement on Zihe's real person's side, so Gu Shenwei could only wait.

Huaixi Pavilion Yi Cheng came over to inquire about the whereabouts of the Dragon King of Biyu City, he was in a hurry, the personnel in the hall were becoming more and more complicated, more and more uneven, and he could cause a lot of trouble at any time, but he was helpless, and could only pin his hopes on a dangerous person.

"Soon he'll be back, I can't think of three days. ”

Gu Shenwei's promise didn't bring much comfort to Yicheng, three hours were torture for him, let alone three days, but he had no choice but to plead and then retire.

Captain Yulin also came to the door, only asked a few questions about the number of people in the Ten Directions Sect, and soon retired, strangely enough, he didn't mention Nangong Bad, as if the prisoner of the Ten Directions Sect didn't exist at all.

Then there was Divine Doctor Sun, who had come back from King Xiao's Mansion yesterday and had been waiting to talk back to Gu Shenwei.

"King Xiao is indeed sick, it is a heart disease, he must be afraid of something, very afraid, this disease can't be cured, I prescribed a few medicines, and I don't know if he can eat it or not. The reward is quite a lot, a hundred taels, and silk or something, and the servants of the palace helped me carry it back. ”

King Xiao should indeed be afraid, the emperor was killed, but the queen mother kept it secret, obviously planning a conspiracy, although Zihe Zhenren expressed his intention to join forces, King Xiao must be extremely nervous in his heart.

Doctor Sun also checked Huo Yun's condition, "She did sleep a little more, but her internal breath is normal, and the injuries she suffered before are almost better, just wait, there should be no major problems." ”

Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong would not openly visit the Biyu State Mission, and after Gu Shenwei sent Doctor Sun away, he personally went to the courtyard where the Shule Kingdom Mission lived.

King Shule did not show up, and if he had a choice, he would never have agreed to bring the captives back.

Nangong is a woman, but her appearance and voice are men, and she refuses to remove her disguise, which is not suitable for anyone's room, so she has to be assigned an empty room, Chu Nanping and Tie Linglong live in the rooms on both sides.

When Gu Shenwei entered the house, Nangong Bad was practicing cross-legged, opened his eyes and looked at them, closed them again, and said: "Don't waste time, I won't say anything, the sect leader will send someone to kill me soon, and it's useless for you to detain me." ”

"Are you glad that Ci is the best victor to kill you?"

"When I joined the Ten Directions Sect, I was told that something like this would happen, but unfortunately I didn't succeed in committing suicide. Death is a reward, and when the Ten Directions Sect dominates the world, Maitreya Buddha will resurrect me. ”

"Will Maitreya turn you into a man or a woman?"

Nangong was silent, but when Gu Shenwei ordered her to go together, she honestly obeyed it without any resistance.

Gu Shenwei wanted to take Chu and Tie to Chengjiazhuang together, how to settle Nangong Bad has become a problem, the Ten Directions Sect may indeed send someone to kill her, and the government and Jianghu sects may also come to the door to ask for it, but there is no one in the Shule State Mission who can protect her.

Gu Shenwei only has one candidate left.

Shangguan Fei was taken aback, and his first reaction was to refuse, "I'm not safe here, I haven't practiced martial arts much for several years, and now my skills are even worse." Besides, although she looks like a man, she is actually a woman, which is inconvenient. He suddenly laughed, "I almost forgot, you are now Gu Gongzi, not the Dragon King, I don't seem to have to ......"

"You can find a reason slowly, but when I come back, this person must stay with you alive. Gu Shenwei closed the door, leaving Shangguan Fei stunned and stared at the long-bearded woman.

"He used to be so unkind. Shangguan Fei said.

After finishing these things, half of the morning had passed, and Su Ai still hadn't come back.

Gu Shenwei and the others left the inn, and the doorman could only pretend not to see it.

The streets outside the city are obviously abnormal, many Jianghu characters openly carry weapons and walk around, Yulin Army, patrol battalions, and all kinds of messengers are everywhere, they only monitor, rarely interfere.

The path to Chengjiazhuang was very deserted, and the three of them arrived a little earlier than the agreed time, so they turned into the tea shed to rest.

Lao Zheng, the owner of the tea shed, hurriedly served the tea and looked around, looking for the bold Su Gongzi.

Gu Shenwei planned to open the gap from this person first. (To be continued.) )
