My Junior Brother is Black Lotus

"Ah."

It's meaningless to stay longer.

Lonely Palace is close at hand, it doesn't take too long to get there, but the sound of the heavy palace door closing is loud and scary, the sky that hasn't seen a sunny day for a long time is almost dark, and the crisp sound of rain is intermittently falling.

Gu Shenghan's scarlet robe was accidentally stained with moisture, so before entering the room, he could pause for a while to dry off the stained rainwater on his clothes.

And because of this pause, he noticed that the lock on the door leaf was missing.

Was it taken away?But he clearly remembered that he was still there when he left, and it was still locked. Isn't Li Qianjin afraid that he would escape?

Gu Shenghan pushed open the door with doubts in his heart, and the furnishings in the inner room were still the same as when he left, nothing changed, it seemed that Li Qianjin had someone take it away.

Probably because he was sure that he would not escape.

So careless, really...

Forget it, what was he thinking?Not as imprisoned as before, but a good thing.

Today, because of what happened in Lantern City, Gu Shenghan has been suppressing his emotions all the time. It would be the best if he can decide who dies in a duel.

Although he was clearly the one who was about to lose, he felt more at ease after dying like this.

After changing out of his wet clothes, Gu Shenghan put on his customary white robe and sat down in front of the wooden table. Although there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, he rarely used it.

He even put the long sword used to communicate with swordsmanship on weekdays next to this table.

Although it looked like it was late, he didn't feel sleepy, so he might as well sit and write and draw to kill time.

At first Gu Shenghan was still in a calm mood, but later on he became more irritable, and even knocked over the inkstone and dropped it to the ground.

The inkstone fell to the ground, Gu Shenghan wanted to get some cloth to wrap it up, and then picked it up, but as soon as he got up, the candles in the room went out.

The strong sense of crisis made Gu Shenghan's back feel a little chilly. Just in case, Gu Shenghan grabbed the hilt of the long sword that was left casually by memory.

In the darkness, Gu Shenghan didn't dare to move around carelessly, so he had to stop in place, observing his surroundings.

Soon, he heard an obvious noise.

It seems that before he came in, there were people in this room, but... Didn't Mu Youran say that there are many traps here?

Why is it so easy to come in one by one?

Last time, because of Mu Youran's advance notice, it was understandable that Jiang Ye could come in unscathed, but this time...is it the same as before?

Mu Youran has disappeared for a long time, so who is the one who wants to kill him this time?

Inexplicably, at this time, Li Qianjin's face appeared in Gu Shenghan's mind. He had asked before, and Li Qianjin's answer was... yes.

and so……

While Gu Shenghan was thinking, his back suddenly felt icy cold, and his strong intuition made Gu Shenghan turn his head in an instant, blocking the incoming sharp blade with his long sword.

As for the owner of the sharp blade, he was dressed in night clothes, so he couldn't tell who it was, but he probably came here under someone's order from the looks of his outfit.

It took so much trouble, this was the stupidest time Li Qianjin had ever seen.

The attack was blocked, but the man in black did not give up. Instead, he attacked more ferociously, and every move had hidden murderous intentions, and the targets of the attacks were also the lifelines that could kill with one blow.

This person was here to kill him, it was confirmed.

The instinctive survival response made Gu Shenghan face the enemy, hold the long sword, and block the danger several times. In the dark room, but because of his familiarity with the place, he avoided it just right a few times.

However, the man in black's attack hit the things nearby, such as glass vases, chairs, wood and paper, and they were damaged a lot in just a short while.

At first, Gu Shenghan just wanted to dodge, but the man's attacks became more and more fierce, and dodging was not an option.

Sorry, he didn't want to die just yet.

Once again when the man in black flew into the air, Gu Shenghan suddenly turned around and slid the blade of the sword across the man in black's neck with his backhand, but the man reacted in time and the wound he caused was not fatal enough.

Instead, the man in black threw something, which flew straight to Gu Shenghan's shoulder, and then embedded it deeply into the flesh.

Then the man in black took advantage of the victory to pursue, Gu Shenghan shifted to the right, and knocked down the cabinet, and according to the layout of the room in his memory, Gu Shenghan jumped onto the wooden table not far away, so he walked around Arrived behind the man in black.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Shenghan pierced through the body of the man in black with his sword, spilling a large amount of blood.

The strong smell is what he hates the most, but now he is also contaminated.

Gu Shenghan pulled out his long sword, and the body of the man in black gradually fell down, turning into a lifeless corpse.

After the crisis was over, Gu Shenghan panted heavily, and it took him a long time to calm down, and then he tried to get close to the corpse.

The room was too dark, even if Gu Shenghan took off the mask of the man in black, he couldn't see clearly, so he lit a candle.

After seeing the face clearly, Gu Shenghan was sure that he didn't know this person, it should be a killer sent by someone.

Now it can be regarded as one solution, but it will take a long time before dawn, will anyone patronize here tonight?

Gu Shenghan wasn't sure and didn't dare to sleep, so he blew out the candle, and hid himself in a corner behind the door. While spying outside, he also tried his best to hide, so that his situation would not be too disadvantaged.

After that, I waited quietly.

Although it was a boring wait, Gu Shenghan concentrated his attention and did not dare to relax in the slightest. Although he had taken out the thing that had been stabbed deeply in his arm before, it was only simply bandaged, and the pain continued. It was clear in his brain.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Shenghan never felt sleepy.

The night was getting darker, around one or two o'clock in the morning, Gu Shenghan was numb from the pain, but at this moment, he accidentally saw a person walking towards his room through the crack of the door.

Because Gu Shenghan is squatting now, his eyesight is very low, and all he can see is the lower body of that person and the long sword in his hand. The cold air is so cold that even Gu Shenghan can feel it in the room The intense chill on the sword.

Was this man also the killer who had been sent to kill him?

It should be, in the middle of the night, with a sharp knife in hand.

Gu Shenghan tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, and at the same time slowed down his intentions, trying not to make the slightest sound, waiting quietly for that person to push the door and walk in.

The man walked very slowly, as if he was not familiar with this place, and he was cautious. It took him a long time to get close to the door, but when he could directly push the door and enter, he hesitated.

I don't know if I was worried about something or something else, after a long time, I pushed the door softly with my foot.

At this moment, Gu Shenghan held the long sword and waited for the man to walk a little further in, and then a little more... Good!

Gu Shenghan got up instantly, and stabbed the sword into the man's back just like before.

"Boom!"

Lightning and thunder suddenly appeared, the sound was deafening, and at the same time, the light briefly illuminated the room. The appearance of that person, the moment he turned his head, was completely seen by Gu Shenghan.

Yes……
