The night is like water, and the courtyard seems to be covered with frost.

Guan Xiaoxian sat by the window for more than an hour, now he was staring at a dim oil lamp, and from time to time cast his eyes out of the window, looking towards the city gate.

That day when the city defenders fought Beirong, the place where the most noise was was at the city gate. Now there has been no sound for a long time. Is there no battle, or is it over?

Guan Xiaoxian couldn't help but stare at the tall and dark gate tower in a daze. As he watched, a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his sight. He was startled suddenly, and quickly looked intently, but then he didn't see that gleam of light again.

The courtyard was quiet, without any sound.

Guan Xiaoxian couldn't help but sighed in disappointment, raised his hand and was about to close the window, a cold light suddenly cast on his eyes from a distance, Guan Xiaoxian closed his eyes immediately, then frowned, and looked out from between his fingers.

Then he met a pair of eyes with fierce killing intent.

A group of dozens of men in black were holding sharp knives and crouched on the roof opposite Guan Xiaoxian's window. At this moment, one of them was staring at him fiercely, with a long knife in his hand.

Seeing this situation, Guan Xiaoxian knew his fate no matter how naive he was.

The first reaction in his heart was - what evil did he do in his previous life?

The second reaction was—is it too late to pretend not to see it now?

In the blink of an eye, Guan Xiaoxian stood up abruptly, squinted his eyes and yawned, then closed the window while rubbing his eyes, and muttered:

"I'm so sleepy, it's time to turn off the lights and go to sleep..."

The window panels were tightly closed, and then the lights suddenly went out. Looking from the outside, the room was dark.

Several killers exchanged glances with each other, and one of them jumped off the roof, silently turned into the yard, and groped towards the room.The rest of the killers continued towards the wedding banquet.

The assassin who stayed behind came to the window silently in a short while, leaned on the window panel and listened to the movement in the house, then stretched out a finger to pierce the window paper, and saw the bed in the bed not far away. Swollen, he immediately pushed open the window and turned over, scurrying into the room like a slippery fish, and then walked towards the bed step by step with the knife in his hand.

When the killer got to the bedside, the person on the bed didn't notice anything, he hacked down without hesitation——

"Shh!"

In an instant, Kuai Dao sank into the bed, leaving only a cold light in the air.

There was no blood spilling in front of his eyes, let alone a cry, the killer frowned, and immediately drew his knife. At the same time, a slight "click" came from behind him, and the killer's ears trembled, and he suddenly understood.

"Oops!"

There was a muffled "plop" in the courtyard, as if a heavy object had fallen to the ground, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The killer hurriedly withdrew the knife, turned around and kicked open the door and rushed out, but saw a piece of clothes quickly rushing out of the courtyard door, he quickly rushed up with the knife.

The sound of the wind was ringing in his ears, and the cobblestones paved on the path were so hard that Guan Xian's feet ached, but he didn't dare to slow down a bit.

At this moment, Guan Xiaoxian was secretly rejoicing in his heart while running towards the front hall.

Fortunately, he entered the latter's room in order to wait for Qiao Xie to come back, otherwise, how could he sneak out of the other window and escape!

It's just that although Xiao Xian escaped by chance, the current situation is far from optimistic for him - Ling Xu and Princess Chengping got married today, everyone in the Ling Mansion gathered in the front hall, and he ran all the way without even half a shadow Didn't see it, let alone ask for help!

If he wanted to survive, he could only run to the wedding banquet before the killer caught up. Among other things, there were so many generals sitting at the wedding banquet, each of them could beat the killer half to death with one punch!

With this faint hope in mind, Guan Xiaoxian heard the sound of brisk footsteps coming from far behind him, took a deep breath to speed up, and ran wildly, completely unaware that it was his heavy footsteps and heavy panting when he was running. The sound led the killer in hot pursuit.

Shrouded by the fear of death, Guan Xiaoxian stared at the stars, not daring to stop for a moment.He didn't know how long he had been running, but suddenly his eyes went dark, he lost his direction, he hesitated a little, and suddenly felt that the silence behind him was too much, as if the footsteps of a killer killing him had disappeared for a long time.

Guan Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment, not knowing where the courage came from, but turned his head and glanced behind him, only to see that there was only darkness on the winding path behind him, and there was no trace of the killer.

He dumped the killer?

As soon as Guan Qingxian realized this, his heart suddenly relaxed, overwhelming exhaustion swept over him, the muscles tensed due to excessive panic relaxed quickly, and the soreness rushed into his limbs in an instant.

"Ha, finally, finally got rid of it, I have to tell them, sue, tell them about it, huh..."

Guan Xiaoxian panted heavily, and the biting cold night wind blew in. He supported his weak legs and walked towards the other side of the path. From a distance, he saw the bright lights of the wedding banquet flickering.

However, just two steps away, a figure stood at the end of the path.

Dressed in black, he was perfectly hidden in the night, only the three-foot green blade in his hand was shining with a cold light, and the killer looked at Guan Xiaoxian very coldly.

But at this time, Guan Xiaoxian had just let go of all his strength, he felt a thud in his heart, his legs trembled and took a step back, but was tripped by a stone and fell back to the ground suddenly, the dull pain came from his buttocks, Guan Xiaoxian's hands and feet were numb and he couldn't move. He tremblingly held the last bit of hope and said:

"Big brother, where did you send me? Even if you die, let me be a fool..."

It is said that the villain dies because of talking too much. At this moment, Guan Xiaoxian really hopes that this killer will be lively.

However, the reality was too cruel, and the killer brother didn't waver at all.

The blade flashed suddenly, Guan Xiaoxian felt the cold light and the killer's footsteps coming together, he widened his eyes suddenly, but heard a "shua", the blade struck towards the top of his head in an instant——

"Dangdang!"

The gate of Ling's mansion was kicked open suddenly, and Qiao Xie, who was wearing heavy armor, rushed into the mansion, followed by several soldiers holding torches.

"Be careful, there are assassins!"

After Qiao Xie finished speaking, Ling Xu reacted immediately, stretched his hand into the Dahong Xi robe and pulled out the sword, stopped in front of Princess Chengping and looked around guardedly.

The surrounding soldiers were stunned, and quickly found their weapons to be on guard.

The leader of the assassins, who was waiting for the opportunity in the dark, saw that everyone was about to discover his whereabouts, so he became cruel and let out a low growl:

"on!"

Dozens of assassins rushed out with their knives in hand, and attacked Princess Chengping.

Qiao Xie didn't have time to look at the crowd, she drew her sword and rushed directly into the assassins, and slashed at the leader of the assassins with her sword.

As soon as the swords collided, there was a loud clang, and before the leader of the assassins could recover from his desperate attack, he suddenly felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and his whole body was kicked to the ground by Qiao Xie. Afterwards, he dodged from Qiao Xie in embarrassment. In the fatal blow, before the sword was raised, the opponent's blade followed like a shadow, and the assassin's leader's pupils shrank sharply.

The assassins started a scuffle with the military generals in Pingyao City. The originally bustling wedding banquet was suddenly full of swords and swords, and the civil servants who couldn't even protect themselves fled in embarrassment.

Hei Shou protected Fuxi and fled back, when suddenly he saw an assassin's mask being torn off not far away, seeing the other's expression clearly, Hei Shou was stunned on the spot, but unexpectedly the other party touched his face, suddenly He raised his knife viciously and slashed at the two of them.

"Ahhh! Help!"

Fuxi was so frightened that he pulled Heishhou and turned around to run away, but the killer chased him up and slashed at him, the sharp blade was about to land on his head.

At the very moment, Heishou suddenly came to his senses, pulled Fuxi's arm aside and pushed him away from the blade.

Seeing this, the killer turned around, raised the knife and was about to slash at Fuxi again, he suddenly suffocated, Heishhou's iron-like hands pinched his throat and easily pulled him back, then flung him aside, The killer hit the table hard.

Heishou angrily pushed the killer down on the banquet table, and let out a low growl:

"You are crazy!"

"Go away!"

The killer pushed Heishhou away, cast his sinister gaze on the two of them, turned around and slashed at Princess Chengping with a knife in his hand, and was kicked away by Ling Xu before he reached her.

Ling Xu saw that the killer was stabbed in the chest and abdomen by the lieutenant general, and slowly collapsed with staring eyes. He was slightly relieved, turned his head to look at Princess Chengping, who was still in shock, and said with concern:

"Are you okay?"

Jing Yi shook her head with a pale face, subconsciously grabbing the corner of Ling Xu's clothes with one hand.

The chaos was quickly subsided, and a group of eleven assassins were beheaded by everyone.

In the center of the crowd, Qiao Xie stepped on the corpse of the leader of the assassins with a knife, his clothes were stained with blood, he glanced left and right, and clicked his tongue softly:

"Just how many people?"

Ling Xu approached with Princess Chengping, who was following suit, rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said bluntly:

"Nonsense, how many people do you want? Is it enough for a city's troops to attack my house? Who are these people? I don't look like the Huns."

Qiao Xie glanced at the black heads in the courtyard, and said vaguely: "Let's talk later. Hey, that little eunuch, come here!"

Fuxi was sneaking out, when he heard the words, his whole body trembled, he subconsciously glanced at Heishhou, and then walked forward slowly, without raising his head:

"Commander."

Qiao Xie didn't care about his attitude, but asked:

"What about leisure?"

"Only... Chef Guan went back to his residence an hour ago."

"what?!"

Qiao Xie was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly turned around and walked out of the crowd with a knife in his hand.

Seeing this, Ling Xu hurriedly asked, but saw that he didn't look back, he just waved his hand and said:

"Take away the corpse, Lao Xie and the others will be there soon!"

Before the words fell, he hurried away.

Qiao Xie ran all the way, wishing that Guan could sit in the courtyard leisurely, but just after running out of the hospital, he heard a faint human voice, faintly drifting into his ears with the breeze, which made him very familiar, Qiao Xie Xie hurriedly stopped his breath and walked quickly towards the source of the sound. Before he turned into the path, he heard the sound of breaking wind. He was startled, but when he looked up, he saw Guan Youxian sitting on the ground with a terrified face not far away, a man in black holding his hand. The blade struck right at his head.Without even thinking about it, Qiao Xie threw the knife out.

"Cha-"

The sound of the knife sinking into the flesh was exceptionally clear, and the smell of rust filled the nostrils seemed to carry a lingering warmth.

At this moment, all the blood in Guan Xiaoxian's body flowed backwards, his expression was frozen at the last second when the man in black swung his knife, his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg, but the expected pain did not come to him.

Less than half a foot away, Guan Youxian stared blankly at the killer's arm holding the knife that fell off like a stump of a clay puppet, and a bright red liquid spewed out of the slightly uneven wound in an instant.

Part of it was sprayed in the direction of Guan Xiaoxian, he subconsciously closed his eyes tightly, and then his nose hurt, something fell down and hit him on the face.

Guan Xiaoxian didn't want to know what he had been slapped in the face at all, he only heard the killer's shrill howling that seemed to be reacting at this moment.

A puddle of liquid slid from his forehead to the tip of his chin, it was the killer's blood sprayed on his face.

Guan Xiaoxian's heart beat faster and faster, faster and faster.

Seeing the killer writhing in pain, Qiao Xie casually tore off the waistband of his trousers and went over to tie him up. When he turned around, he saw Guan Xiaoxian sitting there with his eyes closed, his fair face already stained with blood. He remained motionless in his original posture, obviously terrified.

Josie poked him with a funny hand:

"Hey, I cut off half of his arm, and now he can't even lift a knife..."

Before he finished speaking, his finger touched Guan Xiaoxian. The latter didn't resist at all, followed his finger straightly, leaned back, and fell limply.

Josie: "..."
