The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the four of them held their breath.
Gu Junwen judged the direction of the person coming and gestured to go around from both sides.
The four people were divided into two teams, and they moved carefully along the wall from the left and right.
One step, two steps, faster, faster.
Gu Junwen could even feel the killer's breath passing by her face.
Almost there!
Even System 101 was worried about them and was so scared that they dared not breathe.
Unfortunately, there are unexpected changes in the weather and people are subject to misfortunes and blessings at any time.
Just as the four were about to escape the encirclement, suddenly the sound of fireworks exploding was heard in the sky.
The dark alley became as bright as day, and everyone's position was clear.
Gu Junwen looked awkwardly at the black-clad killer who was staring at her not far away. She wanted to make an international friendly gesture, but it only turned into a helpless smile.
There's no escape.
"Your Highness, you go first." Lin Lin's martial arts skills were not weak. He pushed Ye Nanyi away and rushed straight towards the killer.
"What a fool. Sir, you go too." Shen Anan also drew his sword to block the attacking assassin.
Gu Junwen grabbed a brick and fought off a killer. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ye Nanyi's voice:
"Lin Lin!" He rushed over without hesitation and caught Lin Lin who was knocked back a few steps.
This made Gu Junwen look at him with new eyes.
She had often heard that the class system in Kyoto was strict, and had even seen wealthy and powerful families beating their slaves until they were covered in blood.
Human life is treated as worthless.
What's worse, there are countless cases of brothers killing each other just for petty profits.
But this Ye Nanyi seems to be different.
Not just this time, his unintentional actions time and time again made him clearly different from those young men who disregarded life.
"Aren't you afraid?" After Gu Junwen repelled the attack, he still had time to ask Ye Nanyiyi.
"When you are surrounded, you must make plans. When you are in a desperate situation, you must fight. General Gu, don't tell me you don't even know this."
Ye Nan rolled his eyes at her and kicked a man in black to the ground.
“But I’ve also heard a saying: Two fists cannot defeat four hands, and a hero cannot defeat a crowd.
A long battle is not a solution, Your Majesty, didn't you bring any soldiers with you?"
Gu Junwen felt a headache when he saw the killer who was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
“This king…”
Before Ye Nanyi could finish his words, footsteps were heard again.
Not one wave, but two waves.
"Tongtong, please tell me quickly whether the hero's law of immortality has failed to work?"
Gu Junwen just felt crazy. No, did they stir up a hornet's nest?
"General Gu, we are here to help you." Two waves of people rushed into the dark alley one after another, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Your Majesty!" "Young Master!"
It took the four of them twice as much effort as in a fight to find each other.
"Host." System 101 suddenly spoke in the chaos.
"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"Let me tell you the good news first." Gu Junwen answered casually as he felt pain all over from being squeezed.
“The good news is that the two waves of people who just arrived are reinforcements sent by the two princes.
But the bad news is, they got the wrong guy and are now fighting each other. And the real killer is coming towards you."
System 101 had to work hard to sound less gloating.
Gu Junwen was dumbfounded. What bad luck! "An An, run!"
She grabbed Shen Anan and ran to the alley entrance.
At this time, Shen Anan did not forget to mock Lin Lin: "Fool, what are you standing there for? Go away!"
"oh oh."
So Gu Junwen dragged Shen Anan, Lin Lin took Ye Nanyi, and the four of them quickly ran towards the bright street.
As long as you run fast enough, there will be no danger.
Coincidentally, today Eunuch Cai was ordered to go out of the palace to make some purchases, and he ran into four people running out of the dark alley in a panic.
"Your Highness, Young General Gu, what happened?" At this moment, Eunuch Cai's sharp voice also sounded particularly pleasant to Gu Junwen.
"Nan Yi?" A pleasant and deep voice sounded. Regent Chu Yun was also passing by with a team of soldiers.
"Meet the Regent."
"What's going on?" Chu Yun looked at the four people with an ambiguous expression.
Before the four could answer, dozens of men in black rushed out of the alley.
"Catch them."
Dozens of men in black were extremely unlucky. They finally managed to squeeze out of the dark alley, but ended up falling into the trap again.
Soon, with almost no suspense, all the men in black were pinned to the ground.
"Your Highness, there is another one here." The guards from the Regent's Palace quickly pulled another person out from the dark alley.
Gu Junwen and the others took a closer look and found that it was the little maid who had attracted them into the dark alley - Diao Yu.
"Take them all away, take them back and lock them up for interrogation."
"Yes!" The palace soldiers clasped their fists, pulled up a group of people, and prepared to take them to the Jingzhao Yinfu prison.
"Gu Junwen, you deserve to die!" One of the men in black suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, pushed a soldier away, and ran straight towards Gu Junwen.
"Young Master!" Shen Anan was standing close and reacted quickly. With a flash of cold light, the man fell to the ground, dying with his eyes open.
Sheathing the sword neatly, Shen Anan stepped aside again.
"The girl has great skills." Eunuch Cai exclaimed.
He walked over slowly, squatted down and took off the mask of the man in black: "Let me see which villain is so bold."
Pulling off the black cloth covering their faces, Shen Anan and Lin Lin exclaimed almost at the same time: “Manager Lan from Guangxiulou.”
Gu Junwen just felt a chill in his heart.
When they met a few hours ago, Shopkeeper Lan still smiled at her kindly, and even rubbed his hands subconsciously out of nervousness when he spoke.
Even though he looks like an honest person, his identity is not simple.
