"Really?" Xie Tingzhou said, "Then I will be even happier."
Shen Yu didn't know why he insisted on competing with Jiang Lianzhi. Just when she was about to speak, Xie Tingzhou came closer.
The breath fell on the corner of the lips, but the two of them paused at the same time and quickly exchanged looks.
Bai Yu suddenly opened his eyes under the eaves and suddenly fluttered his wings.
At the same time, Shen Yuji quickly pushed Xie Tingzhou away and slid out of the window like a fish, grabbing the person in the dark with her fingers.
The man was dressed in night clothes, and the two of them exchanged several moves in an instant.
There was already a fight between men in black and Xifeng on the roof, and a few others restrained the secret guard.
"Catch it."
A flash of silver light flashed, and Shen Yu stretched out her hand to take it. She didn't have time to admire this good sword. She stretched out her arms and took the sword tip to the opponent.
The moon is like a white Hong, and the sword is like frost and snow.
Her sword was very fast, and countless rays of silver light seemed to be intertwined into a net, trapping the man in black tightly.
Two more men in black joined the battle and besieged Shen Yu.
"Cang." Xie Tingzhou shouted flatly, and then he saw a black shadow leaping down from the big tree in the courtyard quickly, his golden eyes shining in the dark night.
"No! Back off!" The man in black scolded in a low voice.
Xie Tingzhou stood under the eaves wearing a large cloak, with a hint of solemnity in his brows.
With a "boom", the man was kicked in the chest by Shen Yu and fell to the ground. Cang immediately pounced on him, pressing his front paws on the man's shoulders, and let out a warning roar from his throat.
"Beware of him committing suicide!" Xifeng shouted from the eaves.
Shen Yu immediately stepped forward and locked the other person's jaw, but unfortunately it was too late, the man's body had already begun to twitch.
Shen Yu pulled off the man in black's face scarf, squatted on the ground and took a look, "It's too late, he has poison in his teeth, he is a dead soldier."
Xi Feng and An Wei threw the two corpses on the ground with a bang and said, "Same, the rest ran away. That man's lightness is very good. If Chang Liu hadn't slept, he could probably catch up."
Shen Yu only found out today that Chang Liu was the best in Qinggong in the palace.
"These people are very skilled. They are here to take your life." Shen Yu stood up and looked at Xie Tingzhou.
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were indifferent, "There are many people who want to take my life."
"But not Emperor Tongxu. He wants you to live well." Shen Yu casually drew a piece of cloth from the man in black and carefully wiped the sword body.
Xie Tingzhou smiled, "The dead Xie Yun cannot be used to contain Beilin."
"This is your sword Yi Jingshuang." She praised.
There was a hint of white frost when the sword was drawn just now. She finally knew where the name came from. This was the first time she saw Xie Tingzhou's sword.
Xifeng and the secret guards had already checked several dead soldiers.
"They all have strange faces. They don't have anything on them. Only one of them has burn marks on his face."
Xie Tingzhou stepped forward, and Xi Feng took the wind lantern and came closer.
"This position..." Xie Tingzhou said: "It's like a tattoo position."
Tattooing is the tattooing of words on a prisoner's face, and then applying charcoal to show the mark of the crime. It can never be scrubbed off and can only be covered up with scalds or burns.
"Go and check," Xie Tingzhou tilted his head and ordered, "whether this person has ever been in prison, why he was arrested, and where he went after being released."
Xi Feng took the order, and the secret guards quickly cleaned up the courtyard.
Xi Feng left the courtyard gate and quickly turned back.
"What's the matter?" Xie Tingzhou looked up.
Xifeng said unnaturally: "It's no big deal. I forgot to tell Yu at the same time. You don't have to wait in line for the next rotation."
After saying this, he cupped his fists towards Xie Tingzhou, turned around and walked away in a few steps.
Shen Yu turned around, "Look, this is the reason why I don't want to be exposed."
Just because she was a girl, she was even spared from taking shifts.
"Wouldn't that be more freeing?"
"Will the monthly routine be issued?" Shen Yu asked.
Xie Tingzhou seemed to think he heard wrongly, "You care about those monthly routines?"
"Of course." Shen Yu said seriously: "That's the money I earned through my own skills. It's different from other money. It's special and fragrant."
Xie Tingzhou smiled at Shen Yu, "Fat! Double the amount, okay?"
There was a clear chirp in the air, and White Feather swooped down, folded its wings and landed on Xie Tingzhou's shoulder. What it held in its paws was not a mouse, but a branch of winter jasmine.
Xie Tingzhou's eyes moved, he raised his arms to hold Bai Yu, took down the winter jasmine flowers, thought for a moment, and said, "Follow Bai Yu and see where it goes."
He raised his arms, and white feathers rose into the sky. Immediately, a secret guard followed it and disappeared into the night.
After everything was done, Cang jumped back into the tree, coming and going silently. His cold and indifferent temperament was somewhat similar to the usual Xie Tingzhou.
Shen Yu exclaimed: "How did you tame these two babies?"
"Patience." Xie Tingzhou joked: "Just like I am to you, if you endure it, you can always get through it."
Shen Yu listened to his aggrieved words and knew that he was acting again. She couldn't help but curled her lips and followed him into the house.
There was one less secret guard and Xi Feng was not there. Worried that the assassin would come back, Shen Yu rested in Xie Tingzhou's room.
It's been an uneventful night, one thing after another.
Shen Yu was lying on the bed unable to sleep. There was a lamp lit outside, and Xie Tingzhou's figure at his desk handling official duties was reflected on the screen.
An hour later, the secret guard and Bai Yu came back together.
Xie Tingzhou opened the door and went out. Shen Yu pricked up her ears and listened for a long time but couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about.
After a while, Xie Tingzhou came back and continued to process official documents.
Another moment passed, and hearing the sound of tossing and turning in the bedroom, Xie Tingzhou put down his pen and drank half a cup of strong tea.
"Don't think about it, I'll tell you."
Shen Yu quickly got up from the couch, stepped on her shoes and walked out of the screen, "Speak quickly."
Xie Tingzhou glanced at her and said, "Go put on the cloak and let me talk."
Shen Yu ran back and forth quickly and sat opposite him, listening attentively.
There were some questions she couldn't figure out tonight.
Everything has been fine since Xie Tingzhou came to Beijing. To put it mildly, if Xie Tingzhou is fine, then Beilin is fine, which can ensure temporary peace.
But why did the other party choose this moment to attack Xie Tingzhou?
Xie Tingzhou said: "Before I speak, you must agree to a condition."
"What conditions?"
"Chunsou the day after tomorrow, you're staying at the palace and can't I accompany you?"
"Why?" Shen Yu immediately raised her voice to express her dissatisfaction.
Xie Tingzhou glanced at her, "For whatever reason, do you agree or not?"
Shen Yu rolled her eyes and nodded slightly.
Xie Tingzhou said a name calmly: "The secret guard followed to the Xuanping Hou Mansion."
"Pei Chunli's father?" Shen Yu said in shock: "Why did Marquis Xuanping want to assassinate you?"
Xie Tingzhou raised his eyes, "Don't you think this answer is too simple?"
Shen Yu frowned, as if she could sense something was wrong.
The dead man committed suicide by taking poison when he was caught, just for fear of being traced back to the person who planned it. Now the clues lead to Marquis Xuan Ping.
"What do you mean," Shen Yu said, "Maybe the assassin had discovered that Bai Yu was following him, so he used his plan to blame Marquis Xuanping?"
Xie Tingzhou said: "It's just a guess. Let's see when the time comes."
After being together for such a long time, Shen Yu also has some understanding of Xie Tingzhou's temperament. He is not a person who talks nonsense, and he usually confirms eight points when he speaks.
The candle burned so loudly that the beep exploded.
Shen Yu thoughtfully reached out to hold the cup of strong tea, but Xie Tingzhou covered her hand, "It will be harder to fall asleep after drinking it, so go to sleep."
Shen Yu was instigated by him to go to sleep, while Xie Tingzhou stared at the star of the light with a gloomy expression.
There must be a reason for someone to assassinate someone at this time. The only thing that can be called a major event in recent days is Chunsou.
This year’s spring search may not be peaceful.
