"Miss, where are you going?" Cui'er asked worriedly.
"I want to go out for a walk and find out where my hometown is."
"Miss, please don't run around. There has been a lot of trouble in Kyoto recently. People say that the fourth princess was killed by a monster, and His Highness the Seventh Prince was also killed by a monster. What should you do if you are in danger?"
"I know, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety."
"No! Miss, you can't leave me. I can't lose you. If something happens to you, Cui'er won't be able to survive."
"Oops!" Lingyu hurriedly hugged Cui'er and chuckled, "Look at how scared you are. I'll be fine. I'll just go out and play. Don't worry."
"But......"
"It's nothing." Lingyu interrupted Cui'er, "If you are worried, you can follow me, I will be careful."
"All right."
Lingyu walked to the courtyard, looked around, and then discovered something unusual.
Last night, she seemed to have seen a strange person in this house, but she couldn't remember who it was.
"Forget it, no matter who he is, now I just hope to find my family as soon as possible and return to my hometown." Lingyu murmured to herself, speeding up her pace and walking outside.
Lingyu walked to a small river on the outskirts of the city. The riverside was covered with all kinds of wild flowers and grasses. As far as the eye could see, it was endless.
She stood by the river, looking at the magnificent water, and couldn't help but fall into silence.
"Is this Tianlong City?"
"Um!"
"I heard that Tianlong City is one of the most prosperous cities in Yun Dynasty. I thought I was bragging, but now it seems that it is really worthy of the name!"
"Don't even look at where this is! This is the territory of the Shangguan family, the largest ancient martial arts family in the Tianchen Dynasty! Do you think he will lie to me?"
Lingyu sighed and walked forward.
As she was walking, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance, and her heart skipped a beat.
She raised her eyes and saw a group of people wearing red brocade robes galloping towards her on the mountain road in the distance.
They were extremely fast and soon arrived in front of Lingyu.
The people on horseback reined in their reins one after another and stopped their horses in front of Lingyu. The leader, a woman in red, jumped off the horse and stared at Lingyu with a pair of phoenix eyes.
Lingyu frowned slightly. The eyes of these people were full of hostility. They looked at her like they were looking at an enemy.
"Little sister, where did you come from? Why are you wandering here?"
The woman is tall, has delicate facial features, and has a faint sense of heroism between her eyebrows.
"Girl, I came here because of my reputation. I want to visit an old man named Shangguan. I wonder if he is at home?"
Lingyu said with a smile.
"The old man named Shangguan?"
"Yes, I was wandering around the city just now, and suddenly I found a house in an alley in the south of the city with the words "Shangguan Family" hanging on the lintel, so I rushed over, but I was caught as an assassin. Girl.
Are you also from the Shangguan family? Can we take a moment to talk?" Lingyu asked with a smile.
"Oh, which mess did you come from?" The woman glanced at Lingyu with disdain, "People from the Shangguan family don't take in strangers casually."
"Oh? Really? I didn't force anyone else." Lingyu still smiled and said, "I wonder what I call this lady?"
"Humph!" the woman sneered, "You don't deserve to know my name."
"Really?" Lingyu remained neither annoyed nor angry, and continued to ask, "Since you think so, why did you come to greet me in person?"
"Haha!" The woman suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "How can a person like this know my name? I came here on my father's order to capture the assassin. Since you dare to break into my house privately, you are asking for your own death.
!"
"Assassin? What are you talking about? I have never seen you, how can I say you are an assassin?"
"Have you never seen me? Humph! Everyone in the Tianlong family doesn't know that it was you who gave His Highness the Seventh Prince the medicine that made His Highness extremely ill. The Fourth Princess also died suddenly after seeing you. "
"Miss Shangguan, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense."
"Are you talking nonsense? You will know when you are caught!"
The woman waved her sleeves, and the guards behind her swarmed in. For a moment, Lingyu was surrounded by people.
A mocking smile appeared on Lingyu's lips, "It turns out that the assassin Miss Shangguan mentioned was me."
"Hmph, don't you think you can deny it!" The woman's eyes widened and she glared at Lingyu.
"I have nothing to deny, but are you sure it was me who poisoned the seventh prince?"
"You!" The woman's face changed, "You are still making excuses! Come here! Give me a lesson for this female assassin!"
The guards listened to the order, drew out their sabers one after another, and attacked Lingyu.
"Miss, I'll stop them, you go first!" Cui'er shouted.
"No, we have to walk together, we have to walk together." Lingyu shook her head and jumped up to avoid the attack.
Cui'er looked at Ling Yu's movements and was shocked. This girl actually had a set of superb Qing Kung Fu!
At this time, the guards had already attacked, and Lingyu dodged left and right to avoid being hurt.
However, those guards were not vegetarians. The weapons in their hands were extremely sharp, and soon Lingyu felt that his physical strength was gradually exhausted.
"Miss, this can't go on, you will be defeated." Cui'er looked at Lingyu anxiously.
"Twee'er, don't be afraid, we will definitely be able to escape." Lingyu gritted his teeth and showed a smile to Tweety, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let them hurt you."
Cui'er's heart trembled suddenly.
"Why are you still standing there! Why don't you come to me!" When the woman saw Lingyu and Cui'er supporting each other, she felt even more resentful and shouted.
The corners of Lingyu's lips raised an indifferent arc. She slowly closed her eyes, adjusted her breathing, and began to regulate the spiritual energy wandering in her Dantian.
She must buy more time to practice, otherwise she may not be able to escape the pursuit of these people today.
Lingyu closed her eyes, and the ninth level moves of "Xuan Ming Jue" began to appear in her mind.
Waves of powerful energy poured into the Dantian, and Lingyu's figure became faster and faster, becoming more and more ethereal, disappearing in an instant like a burst of blue smoke.
When Lingyu's figure appeared again, it was already half a stick of incense later.
At this moment, Lingyu exuded a fierce killing intent.
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, her fists clenched loudly, her nails dug into her flesh, and blood overflowed from her palms.
"Miss!"
"Lingyu!"
"Girl, save the lady quickly!"
"careful!"
Everyone rushed towards Lingyu. Lingyu moved quickly. With a flip of her wrist, she had already grabbed the throats of the two guards and threw them towards the guards behind her. Her speed was too fast and no one could react at all.
, the two guards flew directly in front of everyone.
Lingyu's arm suddenly exerted force and threw the two guards several feet away. They fell heavily to the ground and vomited blood.
Lingyu used Qinggong again to rush towards the woman.
The woman was shocked when she saw that Lingyu was able to throw away two guards, but she still sneered disdainfully: "It's just a small trick."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman had already rushed towards Lingyu.
Lingyu's eyes flashed with coldness, her speed suddenly increased, and she kicked out with a whirlwind kick. The woman calmly raised her hand to block, and a whip kick came across the air.
The woman's whip kick is very powerful, and every move contains extremely strong spiritual power. She is obviously well prepared.
Lingyu missed one move and immediately used another move.
There was a sarcastic expression on the woman's face. She was very agile and could dodge accurately every time Lingyu's whip leg was about to kick her.
Lingyu attacked with one move after another. For a moment, sword light surrounded Lingyu.
Not only was she extremely fast, but her moves all hit the vital points of the human body. The woman was careless and was hit several times. She screamed in pain and began to stagger.
Striking while the iron was hot, Lingyu took action again, holding the sword with both hands and stabbing the woman in the chest.
"You..." Before the woman could finish her words, Lingyu's long sword had already penetrated her chest.
"Ah..." The woman covered her chest and looked at Lingyu in disbelief, her eyes almost falling out.
Lingyu retracted her sword and looked at the woman who fell to the ground calmly, "You said the wrong thing. There is no 'Miss' here, only 'Assassin'!"
Shangguan Yan stared, wanting to say something, but in the end she just snorted and her body froze in place.
Lingyu turned to look at the remaining guards and said word by word: "All I want is evidence. As long as you can find evidence of my crime, then I will let you do whatever you want! If you can't find it, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Destroy the flowers!"
"You!" Everyone looked at Lingyu angrily.
"Who else is not convinced?" Lingyu looked at them and said in a cold tone.
"Hmph! You bitch, I think you are tired of living. In this case, let's die together!" Shangguan Yan suddenly exerted her strength, took out a dagger from her arms, and stabbed Lingyu in the throat.
Lingyu's figure suddenly became illusory and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Shangguan Yan's dagger also deviated from the direction and pierced the shoulder of one of the guards.
"Miss! Miss!" Cui'er was shocked when she saw such a scene and hurried over to check.
"Cui'er, don't come here!" Lingyu's voice came from far and near.
"Leave me alone, kill her! Kill her quickly!" Shangguan Yan shouted, her hands moving at all.
"You all stand down, just leave this kind of woman to me!" A low and magnetic voice sounded.
"Yes, Young Master!" Everyone replied in unison, and then they all stepped aside and stood respectfully.
Everyone looked at the young master with admiration in their eyes.
"Sir, you came at the right time! This bitch is too arrogant!" Shangguan Yan immediately knelt down on the ground when she saw the savior and said with a look of aggrievedness.
"Miss Shangguan, I taught you martial arts. You shouldn't call me that. And I've told you a long time ago that I don't like you calling me Young Master." The man looked at Shangguan Yan with fondness in his eyes.
He slowly knelt down and held Shangguan Yan in his arms.
