While Grey Falcon sent people to investigate the identities of Liu Yingying and the other two.

Another group of people quietly arrived outside the inn...

As early as the day after Liu Yingying left Furong County, the person Sun Boguang sent to follow her sent a letter to report.

After confirming that she had gone to the capital.

This terrified Sun Boguang, who had promised his mother that he would do whatever it took to keep Liu Yingying in Furong County.

If necessary, he could even make this person disappear from the world, but now he's lost them right under his nose!

In desperation, Sun Boguang, wanting to appease his mother, spent a large sum of money to hire an assassin to ambush and kill Liu Yingying on the way.

"No way! I just don't feel safe staying in the same inn as that young master!"

After lying in bed for an hour, Liu Yingying still couldn't fall asleep, so she finally went next door and knocked on Xue Ye's door.

This was the first thing she said.

Xue Ye stared at her for a moment, then asked, "Shall we leave now?"

Liu Yingying raised her head to meet his clear, cool eyes; "Hmm, I think it's feasible!"

From the first time they met that young master, he was playing with fire, and this time, judging from his appearance, he clearly didn't seem to be sick.

It's either poisoning or injury...

Who knows when the next wave of people coming to kill him will appear? She doesn't want to be caught in the crossfire!

At the same time, Grey Falcon also reported the information it had gathered to the young master.

"Liu Yingying, a native of Furong County, Ningzhou Prefecture, a widow... or is she the Lady of Lihe Township, bestowed with the title by imperial decree?" The young master frowned slightly.

Grey Falcon quickly added, "Master, due to the time constraints, this is all the information I have found so far, but I have made some new discoveries."

What did you discover?

Grey Falcon: "There's a group of assassins lying in ambush outside the inn. They seem to have been following them. Do you think they might be in cahoots with them?"

Liu Yingying deliberately approached the young master, hoping to gain his trust before colluding with the assassin to kill him.

That's very likely!

Seeing that the young master remained silent, Grey Falcon suggested again, "Should we strike first?"

Just as the young master hesitated, another subordinate came to report.

The grey falcon then went outside.

"What? They're leaving now?"

"Young Master, it seems my guess was right. That woman must have realized that we have seen through her scheme, and she is in a hurry to escape. Should I order my men to capture them now?"

At this moment, a hint of doubt flashed across the young master's eyes. He felt that something was not right about this matter.

Grey Falcon urged from the side, "Please give the order as soon as possible, Master, or that treacherous person will escape!"

"Then let's leave the person here for now!" The young master finally made up his mind and spoke.

"Yes!" Gray Falcon accepted the order and led his men to stop Liu Yingying and the other two.

However, he had just left the room when he heard the sounds of weapons clashing coming from the lobby on the first floor.

Looking down, I saw that the area below was in complete chaos!

Liu Yingying and her two companions were surrounded by dozens of assassins.

"Strange..." Grey Falcon muttered in confusion, "Why are there two other groups?"

Downstairs, Xue Ye gripped the short knife in his hand and stood in front of the two of them.

Liu Yingying then shielded Xiaoxue behind her and whispered in her ear, "Like I said, when you have a chance, run first and don't worry about us, understand?"

Xiaoxue's voice trembled; "But what about you?"

"Just leave us alone and remember what I said!"

"Yes, I understand!" Xiaoxue nodded with tears in her eyes.

She suddenly felt a pang of self-loathing for being so useless, unable to help at all.

Liu Yingying gripped the spiked club tightly in her hand.

Faced with this group of menacing assassins, she couldn't tell whether they were after her or the young master.

But to avoid any misunderstanding, she decided to explain first, raising her voice: "Heroes, if you are looking for the young master, he is in the third room on the second floor. Go find him, but don't kill the wrong person."

"What young master? We're here to kill you, Liu Yingying!" The man in black said, and slashed at her with his sword.

Liu Yingying's pupils shrank. If this knife had landed squarely, she would have been cut in two!

At the critical moment, he had no choice but to use the spiked club in his hand to block the attack.

While battling these assassins, Liu Yingying's mind was also racing.

This time it wasn't a misunderstanding; the person just now specifically named him, saying he was there to kill him.

how so?

Could it be that the news of her helping Lord Shen deliver the letter has been leaked, and Lin Zhizhou's forces are coming to kill her to silence her?

But if it's just to kill her, why go to all this trouble?

Soon, Liu Yingying noticed a clue among these assassins…

Judging from their clothing and kung fu, they seem to be two different groups of people... and their goals are also different.

The group that was clearly more agile targeted Xue Ye, while the assassins attacking her were obviously much less skilled…

What exactly happened?

Grey Falcon was still watching from the second floor. He had heard everything Liu Yingying had said.

That woman is truly hateful! She betrayed his young master without hesitation.

Fortunately, these people weren't after the young master, so he didn't need to worry about them.

Hmph! Let those assassins deal with that woman.

Just as Grey Falcon was about to turn around, he noticed that the young master had come out at some point. "Master, it's chaotic outside. Why don't you go back to your room first?"

But the young master showed no intention of returning to his room. He looked down at the agile and ruthless woman downstairs, and no one knew what he was thinking at that moment.

"Bring that woman to see me!" After saying this, the young master left only his back view and turned to go into the house.

The Grey Falcon stood frozen in place, looking troubled...

He had no choice but to obey the young master's orders.

If they want to take this woman to see the young master, then they have to get involved in this chaotic battle...

At this moment, the fighting scene was extremely intense. Although Xue Ye had never studied martial arts, he had a very good foundation and a strong learning ability.

He could learn the moves the assassins used after just one look, and he used them as if he were copying them perfectly.

The assassins were all dumbfounded!

They never imagined that their martial arts skills, honed over decades, would be so easily copied by a mere youth.

Ironically, they even lost their lives because of it!

Liu Yingying was no less impressive; although she didn't know any light-body skills, she had a thorough understanding of human anatomy.

Often, seemingly insignificant moves can strike a vital point with a single blow.

Those assassins died with their eyes wide open, never imagining they would die from such a bizarre attack…

With Grey Falcon and others joining the melee, the two groups of assassins felt even more overwhelmed.

"Retreat!" Seeing that they could no longer complete their mission, the two groups quickly retreated.
