As the sun was setting, the horse was walking slowly on the official road. The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people very long. Shen Yixuan hadn't said that sentence to Yan Yunyou yet.

The hillside beside the road is quiet, occasionally one or two clumps of trees grow side by side with the hillside, and the whirling shadows almost cover the whole hillside.

Suddenly the leaves shook a bit, Shen Yixuan immediately became alert, and immediately sat up straight, Yan Yunyou seemed to have noticed something.People who practice martial arts have an instinct and experience for such things.

Shen Yixuan leaned into Yan Yunyou's ear and whispered: "Something is not quite right. If there is a sudden change, I will hold them back and you go. They are coming for me, so I don't think they will embarrass you."

Yan Yunyou moved her head away from her side, and said with a smile, "I'm not a paper person, so I don't need your protection like this. Besides, how do you know that the person coming is for you and not me."

Shen Yixuan couldn't laugh, there were no ripples on the lake surface, which meant that there was no wind, and the leaves would move automatically without wind, so there must be something wrong. "Yunyou, I'm definitely not joking with you."

Yan Yunyou looked at him, her eyes became clearer and clearer: "I'm not joking with you, I want to go together."

There are always many people on the official road, but today it is probably getting late, and there are not many people at the moment.Next to the official road is the mountain road.Shen Yixuan didn't know how much Yan Yunyou's skills had recovered, and he also regretted his carelessness, and didn't bring anyone with him when he came out.

Whether to pretend that he didn't find anything, and walk forward as if nothing had happened, or to stand still and wait and see what happens, Shen Yixuan began to weigh the pros and cons.

At the sound of the golden blade piercing the air, the enemy has already taken the opportunity to release a hidden weapon.

Shen Yixuan discerned the sound of the wind. He knew that the person who issued the hidden weapon had a strong internal force and was about to dodge it, but he couldn't dodge it completely. It turned out that the hidden weapon did not let him hear the sound until it was three feet away from him.

As soon as Yan Yunyou realized it, Shen Yixuan hugged him and rolled off the horse.Even so, he was still injured, the hidden weapon flew past Shen Yixuan's arm and cut a hole.

"Are you all right?" Yan Yunyou felt nervous when she thought of the poisonous affair that day.After inspecting the wound, he was relieved and said, "The hidden weapon is not poisonous."

Presumably the killer is very confident that his hidden weapon will kill, so there is no pure poison.The concealed weapon was aimed at Shen Yixuan, and the technique of launching the concealed weapon was unusually good.The sound of the wind brought by the hidden weapon can only be detected within three feet. This kind of technique cannot be practiced in three to five years.

"I'm fine." Shen Yixuan said, staring at the place with mixed trees.

The leaves swayed wildly for a while, and five masked men appeared.

"What you want is my life, he is not mine, let the irrelevant people leave." Shen Yixuan said in a deep voice, without any panic.

Those people also seemed to be taken aback for a moment. The failure of the assassination last time was also because of Yan Yunyou's sudden appearance.The leader knew Yan Yunyou, and His Highness the Second Highness had specifically explained it this time.So he said to Yan Yunyou: "I'll give you a chance, there's still time to go now."

"I won't go." Yan Yunyou said calmly, as if she didn't know her dangerous situation.

"I'll hold them back, you go. You don't know which is more important." Shen Yixuan said to Yan Yunyou in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter which is more important, we have to go together." Yan Yunyou also replied in a low voice.

"Life is at stake, don't be stupid at this time." Shen Yixuan was already a little anxious.

"I'm not stupid. Even if I leave my life here today, I won't regret it." Yan Yunyou stared into his eyes and said word by word.

"A person who looks so smart, unexpectedly has a mule temper." Shen Yixuan didn't expect him to be so stubborn.

"At least a mule will not betray a friend. When a friend is in danger, he will not leave. Even if you whip him, he will not leave if he says no." Yan Yunyou said extremely resolutely.

Shen Yixuan looked at him, eyes full of inexplicable emotion, and suddenly held his hand tightly.

Shen Yixuan is only 24 years old, but he has seen too many hypocritical people. Some people sell their conscience for money, some turn against friends for power, and some people sell themselves for fame and status.Human nature is ugly, he knows it.

People say that a friend in adversity sees the truth, and he knows it now.

Today he miscalculated and put Yan Yunyou in danger, but Yan Yunyou not only did not blame him, but also went forward and retreated with him.There is no need to say too much.

The leader was a little impatient. "Since you are so short-sighted, I will fulfill you!"

The sun was setting and the twilight was low, and the two sides were in a stalemate like this.After the man finished saying that he wanted to kill them together, a masked man approached and said, "The superior said, don't kill by mistake."

The leader didn't answer, and seemed to be in deep thought.A few days ago, the master suddenly issued an inexplicable order, saying that it is not allowed to kill others by mistake.

Glancing at the handsome young man in white beside Shen Yixuan, the masked man sneered: "I want to save his life, but this man insists on hitting the knife, he is looking for death." After saying that, he glared at the masked man One glance: "You have lived in vain all these years, what is the most taboo of a killer?"

Killers are most taboo to be soft-hearted and indecisive. Killers cannot have compassion.

The man hastily bowed: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

Having said that, the master's order cannot be ignored. The master only said that manslaughter is not allowed, and that is to save one's life. I don't know the origin of this young man.

After pondering for a while, the leader waved his hands slightly and said: "You two, just hang on to that boy, don't kill him."

Shen Yixuan saw that there seemed to be a dispute here, leaning on Yan Yunyou's shoulder and said: "We will join hands later, we should be able to fight, if you lose, you must not be willful, if you can leave, don't stay. You are still very young, don't lose your life for me."

"My life is not so easy to be taken away." Yan Yunyou said and handed the sword in his hand to Shen Yixuan.That was the sword on the horse, Shen Yixuan had abandoned the horse at that time, now there is only one sword.

Shen Yixuan didn't have a weapon in his hand, he glanced at it but didn't pick it up: "You take it, I don't need it."

Yan Yunyou said: "What do big men mother-in-law and mother-in-law do? I don't have time. Get it quickly. How can you fight without a weapon?" As he spoke, he forced it into his hand, then bent slightly, and took out a machete from his boot.

The masked man looked at them and sneered: "Kill!"

As soon as the screams came out, the four masked figures stretched out in unison, and four long swords stabbed out at the same time!

Yan Yunyou whispered to Shen Yixuan: "The two on the left belong to you, and the two on the right belong to me." After speaking, the two people's figures flickered, and they raised their swords to block them.

Shen Yixuan moved with the sound, the sword moved lightly, and he shook his hand with one hand, a few sword flowers bounced from the tip of the sword, sealing the long swords of the two masked men together, and then he circled his arms, the sword light was like a rainbow, and he rushed attack the past.

The figures of the two blue-clothed swordsmen were slightly depressed, and Huo Di made a point, evading the attack and returning the attack, and returned twelve swords like lightning.

Shen Yixuan swung his sword to block.The two masked men suddenly felt that the long swords in their hands were piercing a solid wall, and the sword was frustrated!

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had attacked each other with more than ten moves. Shen Yixuan swung his long sword and walked in the brilliance of the intertwined swords. Although he was extremely calm on the surface, he was extremely irritable in his heart, worried about Yan Yunyou , killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Because Yan Yunyou didn't use his best sword, it was a little difficult to block.But the advantage lies in his light body, he can handle it for a while, and there is no disadvantage.Just dodge and not attack, and prepare to see the right moment before making a move.These two people's moves are not too harsh.

Out of the corner of his eye, he wanted to see what was going on with Shen Yixuan, and when he glanced around, he saw two long swords flying up into the sky, bringing up two arcs of light, falling obliquely into the lake, and cutting two blue waves!

The two masked men stepped back quickly, their hands were empty, and their long swords were lost.

The point of Shen Yixuan's sword stretched and contracted, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, splitting into two, and went straight to the throats of the two of them like lightning.

Although the skills of the two blue-clothed swordsmen were not weak, but the opponent's strike was accurate and ruthless, making it impossible for the two of them to avoid it.

A drop of blood dripped into the green wave, but it melted away in an instant, and the lake was still green.Then another drop, shallowly rippled several layers.The lake gradually calmed down.

Then it sparked waves in an instant!Both masked men landed in the lake.

The masked man, who hadn't made a move all this time, lowered his eyes, his eyes were just like the lake water, exuding a ghastly blue color—a ghastly blue color just like the sword light.

At the same time, as soon as Shen Yixuan landed, Yan Yunyou rushed over, Shen Yixuan only felt that someone was rushing over, and then he groaned in his ear.He turned pale with shock, turned around and supported Yan Yunyou: "Where did you get hurt?"

Everything was in the blink of an eye, there were only two masked men left, and they had already been stabbed by Yan Yunyou, they couldn't let go, so they suffered a disadvantage.

The masked man who hadn't moved all this time wanted to take the opportunity to kill with a hidden weapon, but he didn't expect Yan Yunyou to pounce on him.His eyes were full of murderous intent, he had already shot twice to kill Shen Yixuan.Unexpectedly, this delicate and expensive fifth prince is so skilled.

"Let's get out." The masked man assessed the situation, his own people had been injured, but Shen Yixuan was fine now.If things go on like this, they won't be able to take advantage today.

He looked at Yan Yunyou's injured leg, thinking that he would be punished if he went back.His Highness the Fifth Prince did not kill, but injured others.I don't know why the Second Highness changed his temper. Apart from being good-looking, the young man in white in front of him has nothing special.

The departure of several people was as sudden as when they came.

Yan Yunyou's face was pale, and she was hugged tightly by Shen Yixuan.Shen Yixuan was also considered calm, he immediately checked the wounds on Yan Yunyou's body after the initial worry.

Yan Yunyou was dressed in white, and it was easy to see the blood flowing out.It was the leg, and there was a dart behind the right leg.Yan Yunyou's mind was still clear, Shen Yixuan said: "Yunyou, bear with me, I'm going to pull out the dart."

Yan Yunyou nodded.Shen Yixuan hugged him tightly with his left hand, and pulled out the dart with his right hand.Yan Yunyou groaned again in pain.

Shen Yixuan felt distressed for a while, and checked the wound again, the blood that flowed out was bright in color, there was no poison on the dart, but there was a lot of blood, presumably it hurt the meridians.Shen Yixuan tapped the acupuncture points to help him stop the bleeding, and then tore off his own clothes to bandage the wound.

"It's just the two of us here, if it hurts you, call out, what to do if you bite your lip." Shen Yixuan caressed his blood-stained lips, picked him up and put him on the horse. "You'll be fine when you arrive at Jinling City." There was a gentleness in his words that he hadn't even noticed.

The sky is already too dark, and I don't know if there will be an ambush.Shen Yixuan didn't care too much, so he rode his horse and galloped, fearing that the city gate would be closed any later.
