The night was dark and the wind was high, blowing the inn's wine cover fluttering and making a hunting sound.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh whoosh!"

After a few soft noises, six or seven men in black, armed with big knives and sharp swords, quickly approached the Fulong Inn. They lightly swung the iron hook rope in their hands into the air, hooked it to the window sill of a certain room in the inn, and climbed toward that room.

And go.

inside the room,

Liu Yahang, a little boy in brocade clothes, went to bed very early. In his sleep, the little boy danced his hands twice from time to time and hummed haha ​​at the corner of his mouth, as if he was learning the sword in his dream.

As for Liu Nuoning, she just fell asleep.

At this time, Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman who was sleeping next to Liu Nuoning, suddenly opened her eyes and looked towards the window sill of the room. Her face suddenly changed and she shouted in shock: "Assassin, there is an assassin. Miss, young master.

, wake up quickly!”

Outside the window sill, I saw a man in black climbing a rope and quickly jumping into the room, holding a bright steel knife and killing towards the bed.

"Qiang!"

Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman, quickly pulled out the sharp sword beside the bed and rushed forward. With her long sword dancing, she desperately trapped the three men in black at the front and fought together.

For a moment, the sound of fighting "ping ping ping pong" resounded throughout the room.

Liu Nuoning was awakened from her sleep. Her beautiful eyes were so frightened that she quickly took her brother's hand and ran towards the door.

However, at this moment, two men in black jumped in from outside the window sill, holding sharp swords with cold light, and struck at the siblings.

"You little bastard, go to hell."

The man in black smiled ferociously and looked ferocious.

Suddenly, at this moment——

The door was kicked open, and a green shadow was seen rushing towards him, but two cold lights suddenly lit up.

the next moment,

The smiles on the faces of the two men in black quickly solidified. They still maintained the posture of holding their swords high and slashing down, but a blood line appeared on their necks, and the bright red blood trickled out and continued to expand.

"Plop!" "Plop!"

There were two soft sounds in succession, and the two corpses of men in black fell straight to the ground.

The strong wind rose again in the room, five sword lights flashed past, the five screams suddenly stopped, and the remaining five corpses of men in black fell to the ground.

In less than two breaths, all seven men in black who came to assassinate him were killed.

"Qiang!"

Ye Xing sheathed his sword, looked at Liu Nuoning and the young boy in Jinyi, and said, "Miss Nuoning, little guy, are you okay?"

"Thank you, Brother Ye." Liu Nuoning's pale and pretty face gradually regained some vitality and said gratefully: "We are fine, we were just frightened just now."

The moonlight came in from the window and shone on Liu Nuoning's jade-white skin. At this time, Liu Nuoning was wearing pajamas. She may have accidentally scratched her clothes when she ran away in panic. A large area of ​​snow-white skin was exposed, and she was extremely beautiful.

Ye Xing glanced at it inadvertently for a few times, and suddenly felt his eyes burning. His lower abdomen was steaming with heat. If he stayed any longer, he might have to set up a tent down there, which would be very embarrassing.

"Well, then you can rest. Don't be afraid. I'm right next door. If there's any danger, I'll be there as soon as possible." Ye Xing nodded slightly and left immediately.

inside the room,

The middle-aged woman Qing Aunt looked at the seven corpses of men in black on the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Each of these seven men in black had good martial arts skills, and they all had the sixth level of martial arts. She had just tried her best

Even with all his strength, he was only able to temporarily stop the three of them.

"Aunt Qing, your arm is injured." Liu Nuoning quickly tore off a piece of cloth and bandaged the wound for Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman.

"Miss, I'm fine. This little skin injury is nothing serious. Hey, the eldest lady really won't give up until she kills us. Fortunately, Young Master Ye arrived in time, otherwise we might not have saved our lives." Qing, a middle-aged woman.

The aunt looked worried, sighed, her eyes moved, and asked doubtfully: "By the way, miss, you didn't tell Mr. Ye about our situation, did you?"

"I said it, I told Brother Ye."

"Hey, that's strange. Since he knows our situation, why is he willing to come to rescue us? Isn't he afraid of the eldest lady's revenge?" Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman, looked grateful but also a little confused. In her opinion,

If Ye Xing learns the truth, if he is open-minded

If you are narrow-minded, you will probably be angry at their concealment. Even if you are tolerant enough and do not blame them, they should not get involved in this matter again. After all, the enemy is the current person in power of the Liu family. Once involved, the master of the ninth level of martial arts will

It can also be life-threatening.

"Aunt Qing, Brother Ye told us not to worry and not to think wildly. He said that he would protect our safety if he accepted our mission and collected the deposit."

"Silly girl, for masters like Mr. Ye, one thousand gold coins is nothing. Moreover, we still have to wait for the young master to successfully inherit the title and take back the position of head of the family from the eldest lady. But this Mr. Ye is quite mysterious.

There are probably not many such young masters in the Tang Dynasty. Miss, you have to hurry up, because with your beauty, maybe..."

"Aunt Qing, what are you talking about?" Liu Nuoning's beautiful eyes were shy, her fair face suddenly turned red, and her pretty face felt hot.

"Miss, let me be honest, there are not many young heroes with strong strength and good conduct like Mr. Ye..."

…

The next morning, the morning sun rose slowly from the eastern sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly became brighter.

After Ye Xing and Liu Nuoning finished breakfast, they bought a carriage in the city and continued their journey, leaving Zhongyun City and driving towards the Golden Scale Imperial City.

Since Aunt Qing, a middle-aged woman, is more familiar with the roads to the imperial city, she is naturally responsible for driving on the way, which saves Ye Xing the trouble of looking at the map to know the way. So Ye Xing, Liu Nuoning, and the young boy in Jinyi

They all stayed in the carriage compartment. Ye Xing, a cultivator, naturally did not forget to practice along the way.

The wheels of the carriage were rolling, traveling day and night, passing through cities and small towns along the way. After six or seven consecutive days of driving, they had already left the boundary of Zhongyun Prefecture and were getting closer and closer to the Golden Scale Imperial City.

It stands to reason that assassinations should continue during this period. After all, it is easiest to kill the Liu Nuoning siblings before arriving at the Golden Scale Imperial City. Otherwise, once the Liu Nuoning siblings successfully arrive at the Liu Mansion, they will obtain the clan elders.

With the support of the eldest lady, a woman with a foreign surname would be in trouble. It would be difficult to kill Liu Nuoning's siblings again. Therefore, the journey to the Golden Scale Imperial City should be the most dangerous.

However, strangely enough, the journey during these six or seven days was uneventful, and the eldest lady of the Liu Mansion did not seem to send any more assassins to assassinate the Liu Nuoning siblings.

"Brother Ye, the Shuanglong Bridge is just ahead." Liu Nuoning said happily.

"Uh, where is the Shuanglong Bridge?" Ye Xing said awkwardly: "I'm going to make you laugh. It's my first time going to the Golden Scale Imperial City."

Liu Nuoning covered her mouth and smiled: "Hey, after passing Shuanglong Bridge, we are on the outskirts of Jinlin Imperial City. We can reach Jinlin Imperial City in a day or two at most."

"Big brother, will you leave us when you arrive at the Golden Scale Imperial City?" The young man in brocade looked at Ye Xing with his big dark eyes, full of reluctance.

"Well, that's about it. Big brother also has his own things to deal with, but he will send you safely to the Liu Mansion."

As Ye Xing was speaking, his face suddenly changed slightly, he looked outside the carriage and said in a deep voice: "What a strong murderous aura!"

"Xilulu!"

At the same time, the strong horses neighed, the high-speed carriage suddenly stopped, and the carriage suddenly swayed.

Ye Xing's cultivation level was nothing, but Liu Nuoning and the little guy were forced to fall on Ye Xing's body due to the sudden sudden braking, and their arms were filled with warmth and soft jade for a moment.

Liu Nuoning's pretty face turned red and her beautiful eyes were panicked. She quickly got up from Ye Xing's arms and looked out of the carriage with doubtful eyes, "Aunt Qing, what happened? Why did the carriage suddenly stop?"

No one answered Liu Nuoning's question. There was a deathly silence outside the carriage, which was eerily quiet. All that could be heard was the whirring sound of the wind carrying a pungent smell of blood into the carriage.
