life in ancient gods

Chapter 44
The danger is right in front of you, what should you do?

But Danger hasn't seen Su Ping'an hiding in a dark corner for the time being.

Only by preemptively striking or hiding, Su Ping'an has a chance of survival.

But there is a contradiction between the two, pre-emptive strikes are likely to be pre-emptive by others.

Staying still, the assassin might not have noticed that he would go to the wing to look for it, and his mother and little sister might be in danger.

Besides, hiding and not moving, may also be sitting and waiting to die.

Su Ping'an felt that every second seemed like a century.

The assassin glanced at the kitchen, saw the boiling water on the stove, and muttered to himself: "There is boiling water in the kitchen, there should be someone who can do it. Could it be that he left the kitchen temporarily and went to the side room?"

Thinking this, he wanted to turn around and walk out of the kitchen and go to the side room to take a look.

Su Pingan, however, the moment he turned around, held a three-foot wide-edged sword that was faintly emitting a cold light, and rushed forward with one step!

"bass……"

The long sword pierced Su Ping'an's chest, and the assassin held the long sword in his hand. In the dim light, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be that this person has practiced the Vajra Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt..."

However, Su Pingan didn't hesitate at all, raised the sword in his hand, and struck the assassin's arm with the sword.

The assassin's arm was in pain, and the palm of his hand was so painful that he couldn't help it, and the long sword in his hand also slipped.

"Ah..." the assassin screamed, in the silent night, like howling ghosts and wolves, waking up the sleeping female relatives in the wing room in the backyard.

After all, Su Ping'an had been on the battlefield and killed bandits. At this moment, seeing his hands covered in blood, he didn't panic at all, but heaved a sigh of relief.

It's just that the three-foot wide-edged sword in his hand pierced three points into the bone of the assassin's shoulder and could not be pulled out.

The assassin screamed and kicked Su Ping'an's lower abdomen, but his face turned pale and he screamed again.

It turned out that Su Ping'an was holding the broad-bladed sword tightly. He kicked it like this, and the broad-bladed sword that hit his shoulder bone came out.

Holding the blood-stained wide-edged sword, Su Pingan took a step back after being kicked in the lower abdomen, but without any hesitation in his hand, he swiped the sword horizontally on the assassin's neck again, and blood gushed out.

The assassin rolled his eyes, and with the last sliver of his life, he looked up at the starless night sky, fell to the ground, twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

Su Ping'an squatted down and pulled off the assassin's mask.

He used the faint light from the kitchen stove to carefully distinguish who the assassin was.

But he has never seen this person, but why did this person come to kill him in the middle of the night.

Mother rarely goes out, so it is impossible to provoke enemies.

Although the younger sister often sneaks out to play, but the younger sister basically went to the general's mansion to find Ye Xiaoqian to play, and it is impossible for the younger sister to provoke an enemy.

It's even more impossible for two servant girls...

By the way, he fell asleep and forgot about saving Han Ling'er.

"Could it be that the dandy in gorgeous brocade clothes sent an assassin to seek revenge?"

Su Pingan stood up and murmured: "...the life of this person should be saved for interrogation. If it is that dude who is behind the scenes, he can be handed over to Ye Chenli to punish him... ..."

But everything came too suddenly, if he hadn't been wearing the golden silk soft armor, he might be the one who fell to the ground and died now.

As long as he hesitated for a moment, the assassin might turn to attack his neck and head and other fatal places, and in that case, he would really be finished.

Besides, assassins are generally desperadoes, who take people's money and eliminate disasters for others. Even if they are captured, there is a high probability that they will refuse to confess.

He groped around on the assassin's body, and found a small white porcelain bottle, and an ingot of ten taels of silver.

At this time, mother Li, younger sister Su Pingyue, and the pair of twin sisters all came towards the kitchen in surprise and suspicion.

It was too dark, they couldn't see Su Ping'an standing outside the kitchen, they could only see a rough figure.

"Ping An, is that you?"

"Brother..."

"Son..."

"It was me. There was an assassin who wanted to kill me, but I killed him."

"Ah... Assassin, Ping An, are you not injured?"

Holding candles in their hands, they ran over quickly when they heard Su Ping'an's voice.

Su Ping'an hurriedly said: "Mother, don't come here...it will scare you..."

Mother Li ran over first, looked at Su Ping'an, then at the dead body on the ground, and kindly raised her hand to wipe away a little blood from the corner of Su Ping'an's mouth.

"Silly boy, it's not that your mother hasn't seen dead people, it's good to see that you're fine."

Su Pingan smiled, "Mother, I'm fine."

"Ah, this dead man is so scary..." My sister Su Pingyue ran over and saw the dead body on the ground. She was so frightened that she staggered back and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Han Xueer and Han Linger, a pair of sisters, were behind her and supported him in time.

"Mother, I'm going to the general's mansion, don't touch the assassin's body."

Su Ping'an washed the blood on his hands and face, changed into a set of brocade clothes, and went out to the general's mansion.

He wanted to tell Ye Liangchen about the assassin, and let Ye Liangchen handle the corpse and investigate the mastermind behind the scenes.

At this time, it was midnight, and there was no one on the street except the watchman.

There were two red lanterns hanging on both sides of the gate of the General's Mansion, but the lights inside were about to go out.

In the middle of the night, if this incident hadn't happened, he really wouldn't have wanted to disturb Ye Chenli's sleep.

However, they are sworn brothers, so they can't be bothered.

There are soldiers on duty at night in the general's mansion, but they are inside at night.

Su Ping walked up the stone steps and knocked on the vermilion lacquered door a few times.

The soldiers on night duty quickly opened the gate.

The soldier stroked his helmet and looked at Su Ping'an, "...it turns out to be Mr. Su. I wonder what's important about Mr. Su's visit late at night?"

Su Ping'an also didn't care about so many etiquettes, "It's a matter of life for me to find your general, so take me to see your general."

"...Human life?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, but he knew the relationship between his general and Su Ping'an, so he quickly said: "Master Su, please come in quickly."

The soldiers brought Su Pingan to the wing room where Ye Chenli lived in the backyard, and knocked on the door.

"who?"

The soldier was about to speak when Su Pingan said, "It's me."

When Ye Chenli heard that it was Su Ping'an, he immediately turned over and got on the bed, lit the candles on the table, and opened the door.

"Brother, why are you here late at night?"

Su Pingan smiled wryly and said, "There's a life-threatening event in the house, so I have to ask my virtuous brother to deal with it?"

"Brother, outside the house is not a place to talk, please come in and talk." Ye Chenli invited Su Pingan into the house, and told the soldiers outside the house: "You continue to watch the night."

"Here." The soldier responded and continued to watch the night in the front yard.

Ye Chenli closed the door, and Su invited Ping An to sit down at the table and asked what happened.
