Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 212 Night Attack
The little maid standing at the door seemed to see something flickering out of the corner of her eye, and looked intently from the side, only the wintersweet tree was blown by the wind, swaying under the dim light.

The little maid slapped and paid back, she was really sleepy.

Shen Xinniang put down the tiles, turned over and went elsewhere.

It wasn't until I found a courtyard with a Fengshui layout, which should be a study, that I discovered the figure of the prefect Guo.

She turned over and jumped off the roof, taking advantage of the night and bonsai decorations to hide her figure.

There are two attendants standing outside the study, seeming to be chatting casually.

Shen Xinniang's approaching quietly did not arouse the two people's vigilance, and no one noticed the ghostly figure in the night.

Suddenly a gust of scented wind blows.

Both followers moved their noses, "What's the smell?"

"It's like the fragrance of flowers. Is it the epiphyllum planted by the adults?" The two were talking, and they felt a picture in front of them.

One person fell down with a thud, and his companion stared in horror, and just about to yell, he rolled his eyes, his body went limp, and he fell sideways in front of the study.

Guo Su in the study heard the movement, frowned and raised his head, "What's the sound?"

The book boy studying ink at the side rubbed his sleepy eyelids that were about to droop, "No, there's no sound?" He said and yawned a lot.

Guo Su glanced at him, shook his head, "Go to bed when you're sleepy, I don't need you to serve me here."

"Then how can I do that? Madam told me, let me guard the adults, and remind the adults not to be too busy until too late, and pay attention to rest." The little book boy yawned twice again while speaking, "I'm going to wash my face with some cold water. All right!"

As he spoke, he put down the ink stick he was grinding, rubbed his eyes and walked out.

Before he could reach the door, the door creaked and opened from the outside.

The book boy was shocked immediately, came to his senses, and was about to scold him.But he only felt a gust of wind flash past his eyes.Before he could concentrate and see clearly, the back of his head suddenly felt a dull pain, and he felt that his eyes went dark, and he couldn't see anything.

"You, who are you?" Prefect Guo snapped.

Shen Xinniang bent over to catch the little Shutong's limp body, helped him to sit on the side, closed the door behind her back, then looked at Guo Su, and said slowly, "You are Guo Taishou, right?"

Guo Su frowned, "Who are you, why did you break into my mansion in the middle of the night? What's your intention?"

Shen Xinniang took a step forward, about to show her token.

However, Guo Taishou took out a dagger out of nowhere, "Don't expect me to compromise with the Yu family! As the prefect, I will do my best! It is for the people of Jinyang, and I will never fight with you! The Yu family is in the same boat!"

Shen Xinniang raised her eyes and looked at him with a little surprise.

"I, Guo Su, am not afraid of death! When I dare to order someone to take back the fertile land occupied by the Yu family, I am ready to die!" Guo Su sneered, "People who are not even afraid of death, I want to see you Yu What can the family do to me?"

Shen Xinniang nodded, and said in a rough voice: "It's a good thing not to be afraid of death. But Guo Taishou has thought about it, you should have done more for the court and the people than you are now! You are right only if you survive The people of Jinyang, the best encouragement for those in the court who are unwilling to submit to the power of the Yu family?"

Guo Su looked Shen Xiniang up and down when he heard the words, "Isn't Mr. Yu sent by the Yu family?"

Only then did Shen Xinniang show the token of King Qi.

When Guo Su saw the token, he was about to bow down immediately, but Shen Xiniang stepped forward to stop him, "Guo Taishou's courage is admirable, so there is no need to be polite, I brought two letters from King Qi, please have a look at Guo Taishou!"

Shen Xinniang couldn't stop him, Guo Su bowed to the token before slowly getting up, and took the letter with both hands, "King Qi is kind to the subordinates, and the subordinates are afraid of betraying the trust of the prince, so they dare not slack off at all, and now I know this Acting so recklessly may disrupt the prince's plan. I really can't stand the behavior of the Yu family in Jinyang, and I hope the prince will forgive me!"

"My lord doesn't mean to blame," Shen Xinniang said slowly, "I'm just worried about the safety of Governor Guo."

Guo Su shook his hand to open the letter to himself, read it quickly, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "My lord, in his busy schedule, is so thoughtful about this subordinate! Not only did he not scold him, but he even encouraged and appreciated him... ...It really makes me ashamed to be an official, I dare not be ashamed!"

Shen Xinniang smiled slightly, "Prefect Guo deserves praise."

Guo Su shook his head again and again, feeling emotional for a moment, then suddenly patted his head and looked up at Shen Xinniang, "Since Mr. Lang sent you a letter from the prince, did you come all the way from the capital? I am really slow to wait, please hurry up and rest Let's work hard all the way!"

Shen Xinniang was not tired, she shook her head and said: "It's okay, Governor Guo should not be careless. You must be careful, your safety is not your own business, but a matter of the overall situation. Keeping yourself well is not only a matter of For the people of Jinyang, and even more for the many people who are dissatisfied with the Yu clan but dare not rise up to resist. Everyone is looking at you, Prefect Guo!"

Guo Su's face flushed, and he cupped his hands a little excitedly, "Yes, Guo will remember it in his heart!"

"Looking at death like Shicai, although the courage is commendable and admirable, it is not a wise move at the moment. The eunuch must put his own safety first. In a crisis, it is the best policy to find a way to mediate." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Guo Su nodded, "Yes, Mr. Lang is right."

"The letter to Chen Tiha, I also ask Guo Taishou to forward it on your behalf. It is a personal letter from Prince Qi. After Chen Tiha reads the letter, he will do his best to protect Guo Taishou's safety." Shen Xinniang urged.

"Yes, thank you, my lord, for your concern, and my lord!" Guo Su bowed solemnly to Shen Xiniang.

Shen Xiniang gave her a little help, "You don't have to be polite, the prefect."

Before he finished speaking, a cold light flashed from the corner of his eye.

She flew forward, pushed Guo Su away, and at the same time sacrificed the mahogany sword, swiping the sword to block the cold light.

Guo Su took two steps back, staggered and sat on the ground, looking up in panic.

A tall and strong figure broke through the window, covered his face, held a sharp long sword, and pointed it at the young man.

Shen Xinniang moved nimbly, folded her body to avoid the blade, and threw the mahogany sword at the man in black with her backhand.

The mahogany sword came out of her hand, but did not fall, as if it was still held in someone's hand, it flew up and down dexterously, parrying while turning defense into offense, the point of the sword pointed at the vital point of the man in black.

"A cultivator?" The black-clothed man was startled, cautious and careful, not daring to be careless.

The long sword in his hand was even more fierce, defusing the attack of the mahogany sword.

While Shen Xinniang was manipulating the mahogany sword, she popped out a talisman from her sleeve. The talisman was like a dart and rushed towards the man in black.

The man in black was startled and turned to avoid it.

The Taomu sword took advantage of the gap and scratched his right arm.

The man in black felt the pain, and almost dropped his sharp long sword.

He also shakes his hand, shakes out a talisman, and shoots it towards Shen Xinniang.

Shen Xinniang was already on guard, but he turned around, waved the talisman ball and shot it at Guo Su who fell to the ground, looking at the sudden change in amazement.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Xiniang raised her hand to retract the mahogany sword, aroused strength from the sword body, and swung away the talisman that was flying towards Guo Su.

It's just that this move took a lot of energy, and her face was a little pale.

Seeing this, the man in black shook his sword and went up again.

However, Shen Xinniang was muttering something, raised her hand and popped out a talisman, the talisman spun rapidly, as if it had grown in size in an instant, and her mahogany sword was hidden behind the talisman, stabbing at the man in black.

The man in black raised his sword to resist the talisman, but he didn't think that the talisman was just a cover.Without adding too much energy, he was pierced by his long sword.

There was a sharp pain in his chest.

Looking down, the tip of the mahogany sword was still not in his chest.The bright red blood can be vaguely seen along the mahogany sword tip and plated on the sword body.

He immediately held his breath and gathered his strength on his body.

As if turning into an iron wall, Shen Xinniang's mahogany sword is hard to penetrate even half a point.

Shen Xinniang couldn't help but look deeply at the man in black, his kung fu is so similar to Ziyang's hard qigong?
Knowing that he was invincible, the man in black raised his breath and swept back, turning over from the broken window.

Shen Xiniang jumped onto the window lattice, the man in black leaped over a few times, and was already a few feet away, he looked back at Shen Xinniang, turned and left.

"Why didn't Mr. Lang catch up with him? Capture him!" Guo Su's face was a little pale with shock, but his voice was still calm.

Shen Xinniang looked back at him, and said in a deep voice: "Guo Taishou has no guards around at this time, if it is a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't the eunuch be in danger? The most important thing now is your safety."

This is the third time she has emphasized this tonight, and Guo Su blushes a little when he hears this, and nods repeatedly.Standing up from the ground in embarrassment, he cupped his hands and said to Shen Xiniang: "Thank you, sir, for saving me. If it wasn't for your quick action and skill, Guo would have been decapitated tonight!"

He bowed his head deeply, and his arched hands touched his knees.

"Your Excellency, you don't need to be very polite. I'm here for your consideration." Shen Xinniang said softly, "Your Excellency, let's rest early tonight. I will stay in the Lord's Court until your Excellency hand over the prince's letter to Chen Tiha. , so I can leave with peace of mind."

"This...Your Majesty has been working hard all the way, and just now I saw you confronting that person, exhausting your energy. If you don't, you should go to rest first, and I will call the servants in the house to guard." Guo Su said.

"My lord, you don't need to be polite, I'm fine." Shen Xinniang looked serious.

Guo Su also knew that this was not a trifling matter. Prince Qi must have valued his own life when he sent someone from the capital all the way. If he didn't take it seriously, he would disappoint Prince Qi.

Shen Xiniang flew up to the roof and hid, Guo Su called the servant, pointed to the broken window and said, someone assassinated at night, but he had already fled.

The servant woke up the two attendants who were brought down by Mixiang, and the book boy who was knocked out by Shen Xinniang, and they were in a hurry for a while.

Guo Su rested in the courtyard of the study, a room that Shen Xiniang could see with her lower eyes.

After what happened just now, I don't know if Guo Su can still fall asleep.But Shen Xinniang can't control that much, the palm of her left hand is a little hot, as if a force is about to move, trying to break free from the shackles of the yin and yang spring.

Shen Xinniang sat on the branch of the old pagoda tree with dense leaves, adjusted her breath with luck, and used her spiritual power to attract the power on the left palm, from the left hand to the heart vein, to the dantian, to the left leg, and then to the right leg, back together Go to the dantian, go to the right arm, go to the right hand, and then return to the heart channel.

It runs through all the limbs and bones of the whole body, as if there is a warm current moistening every blood flow in her body.It feels warm, like soaking in hot spring soup.She sighed comfortably, pranayama running size Zhou Tian.

When the rooster crowed in the morning, she suddenly opened her eyes, her black and white pupils were clear and clear.There was no trace of fatigue in his eyes, not even a trace of blood from torment.The refreshed state is not at all like someone who has been running around for three or four days, fought fiercely with others, and squatted in a tree to watch all night.

She faintly felt that her Taoism seemed to be on the verge of a breakthrough, a realm that she had never been able to approach when she was still Mu Ling and when she was still in Lingshan.

She raised the palm of her left hand and looked at it. The Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram on the palm became lighter, and almost turned into flesh-colored. If you don't look carefully, you can't even tell it apart.
