The setting sun presses down on the mountain, and the colorful sunset fills the sky.

After finishing his meal, An Xin came to a big tree and jumped up, lying on the thick branches, admiring the beautiful scenery at dusk.

Listen to the clear chirping of birds coming from the woods.

An Xin was lying leisurely on a tree branch, when she felt the branch she was lying on sway slightly. She raised her eyes and glanced at the man who jumped up and sat on another thick branch next to her.

He was dressed in white, with an elegant orchid on his head, his black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and his jade-like face highlighted his noble appearance.

The man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes had a faint smile on his face and was looking at her with gentle eyes.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not interested in beauty."

Jiang Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, without feeling a bit disappointed because of what An Xin said.

Because he had long discovered that although An Xin would not be fascinated by his face, he could not hide the appreciation of beauty in her eyes every time he saw it.

Jiang Xuan is not interested in women who are infatuated with his face.

People like An Xin make him feel comfortable.

Perhaps it was because she was always calm when she saw me, and only appreciated beautiful things without any obsessive greed, that made me want to get closer to her more and more.

"Tomorrow is the third day, and the coronation ceremony of the new emperor of Beiming has not yet been held. I am afraid that we will encounter considerable obstacles if we go back now."

An Xin watched the night slowly close in and a crescent moon gradually rise.

A cool breeze blew around, making the leaves rustle.

"No need to go back. Someone will invite us into the city tomorrow to treat us to delicious food and drinks."

Jiang Xuan looked at the shameless woman in front of him with a smile in his eyes, without a trace of doubt about her saying such a thing, "Okay, let's wait and eat Bei Ming out of money tomorrow."

An Xin's fair ears moved slightly, and the corners of her lips slowly curled up, "If you want to eat something delicious, I'm afraid you have to get through this night safely."

Jiang Xuan's gentle gaze paused, and instantly became deep and cold. He pursed his thin lips lightly, and also found that the air around him was too quiet.

The tall and thin figure straightened his back, and his white and slender fingers touched his waist, where a sharp soft sword was wrapped and could be ejected with a slight push.

However, after Jiang Xuan looked at An Xin, who was still in the mood to break branches at this moment, he let go of his hand from his waist with absolute trust in her in his eyes, and leaned towards her as if he was weak and unable to take care of himself.

"Please protect me." When Jiang Xuan noticed An Xin reaching out to throw him down, he said decisively, "The kind that pays for it."

An Xin gave an evil smile: "How much."

"Is ten thousand taels enough?"

An Xin looked at him leisurely, "Haha, Mr. Jiang San's life is worth 10,000 taels. How about I ask other people after I return to Beijing and then tell you if it's enough."

Jiang Xuan smiled, pretending to be hurt, and said, "With our friendship, you have the nerve to ask me for such a high price."

"Are we friends?" An Xin pretended to be bored and snapped his fingers. "Besides, friendship is friendship, but money is money. It's up to you to decide whether to choose money or life."

An Xin rolled her eyes. Anyway, no one could see it at night, so it wouldn't affect her image as a high-ranking official.

Don't think she doesn't know that the man in front of her is pretending to be weak, but for the sake of money, she can save him.

"Twenty thousand taels is not more."

"Fifty thousand taels, no bargaining."

"Humph!" He wanted to trick her into saving someone, but it would be a waste of blood.

"I came to Bei Ming with you."

"You came here on your own initiative. It has nothing to do with me."

“…” The dozen or so killers hiding in the woods felt despised.

Wasn't the killing intent emanating from them obvious enough? They were so close to the two of them, and they could ignore it? "!!" This was too disrespectful to professional killers like them.

The location here is not far from the camp where they are standing. If An Xin and Jiang Xuan have average fighting power, it will not be a problem for them to assassinate them and then escape.

At other times, An Xin would always be surrounded by a lot of people. This was also the best opportunity found by the group of people sent by Liao Angkuo to assassinate An Xin in the past two days.

Just when An Xin and Jiang Xuan were arguing over the price of the protection fee.

Then they heard a swishing sound coming from the gloomy woods, and a group of dark shadows with weapons in their hands, flashing cold light, came towards them.

When the assassins saw that An Xin and the other man did not dodge or move, they thought they were scared silly.

Having been ignored just now, they immediately felt the vanity of being killers and prepared to kill the two men with one knife so that they could go back and report back and pay the balance for the murder.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

An Xintian's cold eyes swept across the scene in front of him. He held a long branch that had just been broken in his hand, with a faint smile on his face. He looked at the oncoming blade, and a hint of ruthlessness suddenly flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The killer who took the lead in hacking at the two men only felt a chill on his neck. Before he felt the pain, he saw the woman in front of him holding a branch that was wrapped around their necks and gently swinging it to the side.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

With successive loud noises, five or six killers were thrown to the ground. Before they could raise their hands to cover their necks, they suffocated to death because their throats were cut.

The remaining killers saw the woman in front of them holding a long branch and easily strangled five or six of them. Their nostrils trembled and fear flashed in their eyes.

They never thought that a woman like An Xin could have such good skills.

After the shock, thinking of the high reward promised by the man who killed the woman in front of them, all the men in black attacked together, with murderous eyes and the weapons in their hands all chopped towards An Xin's head and limbs.

Launch a new round of brutal attacks on An Xin.

Looking at the killer coming at him aggressively, An Xin grabbed the back of Jiang Xuan's clothes and threw him as if casually, and he landed steadily on another safe tree.

"That's fine. I don't think your protection is worth fifty thousand taels." Jiang Xuan touched the back of his neck with his white fingers and said casually with a curled lip.

He suddenly felt that speaking this way would make An Xin more lively and more interesting to get along with.

"If you dare to pay even a penny less, I can peel off your skin without these assassins killing you."

Jiang Xuan shrank his neck with a smile in his eyes, "Your Excellency is so fierce, I am so scared."

An Xin was busy dealing with the killer and was no longer arguing with Jiang Xuan, whose brain had suddenly gone insane. The branch in her hand was infused with her internal force and became as hard as black iron.

He nimbly moved back and forth in the woods to avoid the killers' attacks, and the branches in his hands whipped the killers' shoulders like whips, causing them to fall under the tree with skin torn and flesh bleed out and scream in pain with each blow.

The killer suffered heavy casualties in a short time.

The murderer discovered Jiang Xuan sitting on another tree and chatting with An Xin from time to time. Thinking of how An Xin had protected him behind her just now, he felt that this man must be very important to An Xin.

A cunning gleam flashed across the killer's sinister eyes, as if he had found An Xin's weak spot. He turned around and attacked Jiang Xuan, who was sitting on a tree nearby and keeping an eye on An Xin's safety.
