But to Su Yan, it sounded like old friends meeting; it was just a few casual words, yet she could sense a tacit understanding between them.
Just then, a wary voice suddenly rang out.
"Who goes there?!"
Then, a guard quickly appeared in front of Su Yan.
The guard's expression was serious and solemn.
Then he spoke.
"General Lin, we have discovered a maid eavesdropping."
The two people who were talking suddenly fell silent.
I was careless.
Today, because Lin Liqiang returned to the capital in triumph, the Emperor was overjoyed and was rewarding him. A banquet was being prepared in front of the palace.
Everyone was busy in front of the palace, and since it was dark and few people frequented the area, it was thought to be safe.
Unexpectedly, a maid discovered it.
Su Yan wanted to explain
"I was not eavesdropping, I was just passing by."
She had barely uttered a few words when she suddenly heard that rough voice coming from across the woods.
“Kill him.”
The guard's face was serious, and his gaze was fixed on Su Yan like an eagle's.
Respectfully respond
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a long sword was drawn from his waist, its blade flashing with a cold light.
He was directly 'approaching' Su Yan.
Su Yan didn't expect that she would clench her hands when she heard the word "kill".
On her right hand, a red crystal bracelet shaped like a raindrop appeared, with a black cord binding the crystal to her fair wrist.
She licked her lips as the long knife was already thrusting towards her chest.
Leaning back, she kicked out with the tip of her right foot, graceful as a dance. But the instant her toe struck the hilt of the sword, she found a point of leverage, and her body spun 180 degrees in an incredible way. Her attack speed suddenly increased, and she placed one hand on the man's shoulder, her two fingers suddenly exerting force.
There was a crisp snapping sound.
That arm is dislocated.
A muffled groan came from the guard's mouth.
However, soldiers who have experienced battle are different from ordinary guards.
Almost immediately after a pause, the long sword was switched to the left hand, the arm bent, and it swiftly slashed across Su Yan's waist and abdomen.
Su Yan jumped up, placed her hand on his shoulder, and flipped from mid-air behind the guard.
She grabbed the guard's neck with both hands and pressed her knee against his spine.
The moment her other foot touched the ground, she used the force to press down quickly.
All of these actions were done subconsciously.
Suddenly, a strong, ruthless killing intent emanated from the side.
Su Yan immediately let go and dodged to the side.
Almost the instant she moved, a tall man dressed in brocade and silk appeared where she had just been standing.
The man's kick was very powerful. If she hadn't dodged quickly, the kick would have struck someone as delicate as Su Yan, leaving her either dead or crippled.
The two looked at each other, and one could tell from the man's demeanor that he was someone who had been through the battlefield.
Its iron-blooded refinement is not to be underestimated.
Su Yan licked her lips, and then saw another elegant man in a white robe emerge from the woods.
General Lin sized Su Yan up and down, his gaze sharp as a sword.
"Spy work."
His tone was resolute, yet laced with murderous intent.
How could an ordinary maidservant possess such skill?
Look at how cleanly and efficiently she dislocated his henchman's arm without even blinking.
This isn't a maid; she's clearly a female assassin.
Su Yan wanted to explain
"I was just passing by and did not mean to overhear."
The white-robed man listened to Su Yan's words with a meaningful look.
"So, you heard everything we just said?"
