After I wear the book, I use the food to attract the attention of the big guys

"Do you know, she never did this kind of thing before." Gu Chen took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and his smile still persisted: "She likes to be direct, and digging holes for others is also a hole without covering up."

The maid next to her pondered for a while before tentatively opening her mouth: "Isn't that easy to avoid?"

"Avoid?"

Gu Chen's rhetorical question was questioning and refuting.

She suppressed her smile, raised her chin slightly, the gentle lines of her facial features were smoothed out, revealing a cold and tender feeling, her tone dropped from the warm spring in March, like falling into an ice cave.

"Chi Qing prefers to cut off the enemy's back route, and then rush people to follow the route she has set. Even if you know there is a pit, you will have to jump."

"Oh, what a bad temper."

After speaking, he dropped the crumpled handkerchief, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Miss, if we attack by force, the Chi Mansion is not unacceptable." The maid hurriedly called Gu Chen to stop, trying to persuade her to change her mind.

If Xie Niannian can be controlled in his hands, Chi Qing will be able to make a fool of himself, and his chances of winning will be greatly improved.

"Chi Qing probably has more people staying by Xie Niannian's side than those staying in Tianshu Division." The corner of Gu Chen's mouth curled slightly, and he said sarcastically, "That imitation should be Xie Niannian's handwriting."

She walked quickly and did not slow down because of the maid's words.

The last light of the setting sun shines, and the shadows of tree branches and eaves are reflected on the warm yellow courtyard wall, interweaving with human figures into a blurred painting.

Gu Chen tilted his head, stared at the shadow on the wall for a while, and suddenly asked, "Tell me how you got this imitation."

The person who was still holding the wooden box bowed his head in trepidation and explained: "The subordinates are incompetent, they keep a close eye on them, so they didn't do more inspections."

"Oh? Then do you know that you are being followed?"

After saying this, the maid looked back in astonishment, but of course she didn't find anything.Only the empty long street and the sun that is about to be completely engulfed by the horizon remain.

"That's all." Gu Chen continued to walk with a flick of his sleeves, and spoke very quickly: "You should act according to the original plan. After finishing this matter, you can find a way to leave Dayue."

She let the others go, but didn't say a word about herself, her intention was very obvious, she clearly intended to kill the fish and break the net.

"Miss think twice! We can still mobilize the six divisions of Tianshu Division, there is no way out"

The rest of the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak, because she looked up and saw Gu Chen's back.

It is clearly a wide-sleeved plain dress, and the blue silk is tied up with a hosta. It is demure and gentle, but it looks like a flower fished out of the severe winter.

The thin petals are frozen into clear ice crystals, even the veins are clear, sharp and fragile.

"But I don't want to retreat." Gu Chen said.

Xie Niannian has been following Folding Shadow for nearly half an hour, and it's almost curfew, but Chi Qing still hasn't been found.

Fengjing's curfew has been enforced since the last warehouse explosion, and it's not over yet.Every time I approach Wushi, there are few pedestrians on the street.

She rushed to buy the last glass of nectar water before the restaurant closed and drank it in small sips.

Seeing that Die Ying was also confused, she asked: "Die Ying, did you make a mistake?

"It should be in Tianshu Division." Duoying began to stir his sleeves unconsciously, and muttered to himself with some uncertainty: "It is also possible that I went to do other things halfway."

She buried her head and walked on her own, out of the corner of the eye she could catch a glimpse of her wrinkled eyebrows and crumpled sleeves.

Seeing the child start to get tangled up, Xie Niannian rubbed Die Ying's head, and said in relief: "It's okay, it's Chi Qing's problem, she doesn't take you much, how can she teach others."

"No, I wanted to help myself." Hearing what Xie Niannian said, Die Ying shook his head and retorted: "I want to learn more, so I can help Master do more."

It was late, and the stars were scattered randomly, a little bit here and there.

Due to the curfew, there were few lanterns lit on the street, and from a distance, it was a big, blurry mass of black, like a monster hiding its teeth and claws.

Perhaps the night was too dark, Xie Niannian didn't realize that he was almost at the gate of Tianshusi until he reached the familiar Wutong Road.

A tall and thin figure suddenly emerged from the thick ink-like road ahead, startling Xie Niannian who was in a daze, and hurried to reach for the hem of the overlapping shadow in front of him.

Duoying didn't move, and lowered his voice: "It's nothing, it's Baiyan."

It's an acquaintance, Xie Niannian feels at ease again.Seeing the figure swaying towards him, he grinned his big white teeth at Duoying and smiled.

He started to shout from a long distance: "Little Duoying, why are you here, do you want to help? Come, let me go and see—"

Originally, he wanted to say that he was watching the excitement, but when he got closer, he finally noticed Xie Niannian behind the shadow, and he immediately took a breath, his eyes showing horror.

"Little ancestor, hurry up and take the proprietress back, it's not that simple today."

The original plan was disrupted by Gu Chen's sudden action, and Tianshusi didn't leave many people who could fight. If Xie Niannian was still outside at this time, Bai Yan couldn't guarantee her safety.

"Okay." The child was very obedient, and without asking any further questions, he grabbed Xie Niannian's hand behind his back and wanted to pull her home.Just ran straight away, the execution was super strong, and there was no compromise.

And Xie Niannian had no choice but to let Die Ying take him with him, and turned his head with difficulty to tell Bai Yan: "Help me watch Chi Qing."

"Ah? Chi Qing is not here, she"

It may be that Duoying was anxious to take Xie Niannian home, and ran away in a blink of an eye.Bai Yan's words were left behind, Xie Niannian couldn't hear clearly.

She didn't have time to worry about it. The child in front of her was running too fast, and she had to work hard to keep up.

Crossing the Wutong Road with few people to the main street, you can see a few pedestrians walking in a hurry, and the shadow is willing to slow down.But he didn't slow down much, he still walked briskly, for fear of accidents.

And Folding Shadow only chooses to walk in shaded places, and refuses to let Xie Niannian be exposed on the street, he is extremely cautious

Douying is okay, after all, he has been exercising since he was a child, so this way is not a problem, but Xie Niannian can't take it anymore.

She only felt that her throat was extremely dry, like swallowing a mouthful of rust, but she held back and said nothing.

Xie Niannian knew that the serious child was worried about him, and he didn't want to hold him back.

"Da da--"

The sound of horseshoes was very clear on the quiet main street, and the shadow of shaking lights could be seen not far away.

There are convoys moving this way, and those who can travel with such fanfare when the curfew is approaching are either rich or expensive.

Douying, who was already tense, immediately dragged Xie Niannian to hide behind the pile of debris, regardless of who it was.

He also tried to cover Xie Niannian's mouth.

Xie Niannian was amused, and wanted to make Douying not so nervous, so he said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, my luck can't be so bad that I just ran into an assassin."

"No!" Duoying pulled Xie Niannian to squat down, and explained very quickly: "There are footsteps."

Come from all directions.

As soon as the voice fell, a sudden change occurred.

The sharp arrow nailed the wooden rut with a muffled sound, which kicked off the assassination.

The masked man who appeared suddenly fought with the convoy's guards.

The sound of clashing swords was extremely ear-piercing, and the lantern hanging on the eaves was shot down by arrows and shattered into scattered sparks in front of Xie Niannian.

This time there is no need to remind him, Xie Niannian covered his mouth and hid in the dark.How unlucky it is!Even if it was obviously not aimed at herself, she was afraid of being implicated.

But who was assassinated, and who dared to do it on the street?Is it related to Chi Qing?Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and only one remained in the end.

Absolutely not to be injured, otherwise it would be stabbing Chi Qingxin.

Die Ying had already untied his sword, firmly guarding Xie Niannian behind his back, listening carefully with his ears up, and holding Xie Niannian tightly with one hand, ready to take her away at any time.

The light was weak, but it was enough for Xie Niannian to see the figure jumping off the carriage clearly through the sparse gaps.

The middle-aged man with angry eyebrows, even if the situation is threatening, he calmly swung his knife to block a stray arrow.

"Gu Chen, you want to strike first? It would be too stupid to do it here." Even the attitude was quite arrogant.

In contrast, another clear female voice was much softer: "Isn't Lord Commander thinking the same way? It's been so many years, and the way you get rid of crimes is still the same."

"Hmph." The middle-aged man sneered, as if the situation was under control: "It's too late, I have already handed over all the letters and evidence you left behind. I'm afraid you didn't expect that all those things were left in my hands."

After confirming the identities of the two, Xie Niannian moved a few more steps in. She tugged on Duoying's clothes and gestured towards the entrance of the alley not far away, asking if she could take a detour and leave.

Not to mention anything else, she didn't want to be caught by Gu Chen at this time.

Duoying frowned and shook her head, that alley is a dead end.

Facing the middle-aged man's ridicule, Gu Chen chuckled indifferently: "It's not too late, after all, I don't want to destroy the evidence, I just want your life!"

Yu Bi drew his sword out of its sheath, the slender soft sword went straight to the neck of the person in front of him, was blocked by the knife, and then turned around like a snake, refusing to let go.

The soft sword is inherently changeable, and the angle of her sword is particularly tricky. It looks soft but is sharp, which makes it hard to guard against.

But the commander of the imperial army was also selected through layers of selection, and his martial arts were not weak at all, so he was able to fight Gu Chen to a tie.

The situation was tense, and the two gangs fought inseparably.But Xie Niannian noticed that at some point, the arrows coming from above disappeared.

Xie Niannian shrank back behind the shadow, she noticed a group of men in black suddenly emerged from the alley, slipping silently into the chaotic battlefield like fish swimming.

Obviously well-trained, whether it is a masked man or a guard in armor, they all attack to death.

It didn't feel right, Xie Niannian stared at the movements of those people, while pulling on the sleeves of Duoying, the sense of crisis that came from nowhere made her want to leave even more.

The appearance of the third party made everyone on the field stunned, and even the fighting movements stagnated a little.Except for Gu Chen.She took a move to block the cold sword coming from the side, but "inadvertently" exposed a flaw.

Being caught in the middle by a middle-aged man, the saber is as powerful as a bamboo, and Gu Chen can't avoid it.

"clang!"

The silver light collided with the blade and missed a little, so that the blade barely scratched Gu Chen's clothes.

The hidden weapon was nailed to the pillar not far from Xie Niannian, with smooth and graceful lines, it was a small butterfly blade.

The sound of sword clashing gradually faded away, and Gu Chen and the commander of the imperial army stopped at the same time.

"Late Qing."

This was Gu Chen's voice, and it was teasing: "If I hadn't made a deliberate mistake, I probably wouldn't have seen you until the end."

The night wind passed through, making Xie Niannian shiver, and she finally understood where her sense of crisis came from.If Chi Qing found out in this situation, she probably wouldn't be able to leave the house for half a month!
