Chapter 188 Assassination on the Long Street!
Chapter 188 Assassination on the Long Street!
The night in Yanjing City is quiet yet mysterious.
The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the ancient stone road, creating a layer of silver glow.
Yan Nansheng and his mother Xie Xiyuan had just attended a dinner at the Xie family and were slowly returning home in a carriage.
Inside the carriage, the mother and daughter were talking quietly, and the topic revolved around entering the palace tomorrow.
Concubine Xie was wearing simple casual clothes, her face was dignified and beautiful, and the years had not left many traces on her face.
She frowned slightly, with a trace of worry in her eyes, "Sheng'er, I don't know what kind of situation you will face when you enter the palace tomorrow. The situation in this palace is complicated, you must be extra careful."
Yan Nansheng was wearing a light blue gown, with long hair as black as ink falling on his shoulders.
She has a beautiful face and her eyes are full of intelligence and determination.
She gently held her mother's hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, mother. I will protect you. No matter what the situation in the palace is, I will not let you get hurt in the slightest."
While the mother and daughter were talking, Yan Nansheng suddenly felt a strong mental fluctuation nearby.
Her heart trembled, and her mental power was released instantly.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of breaking air came from the side.
Yan Nansheng reacted very quickly, protecting his mother behind him and dodged the attack by turning sideways.
With a whoosh, a sharp arrow flew past the carriage and pierced deeply into the ground.
"Don't be afraid, mother. You have your daughter here."
While comforting his mother, Yan Nansheng carefully helped her sit down in the corner of the carriage.
Her eyes were full of vigilance.
At this moment, Yan Nansheng quietly released his spiritual power, and the invisible energy spread out in all directions like ripples.
The air around seemed to be stirred by this strange power and was shaking slightly.
She could clearly feel every subtle mental fluctuation, just like a pair of sharp eyes opened in the darkness, and any hidden danger could not escape her.
After Yan Nansheng settled his mother down, he slowly walked out of the carriage.
Her posture was as straight as a pine tree, and every step she took was steady and firm.
The moment she stepped onto the shaft of the cart, the whole world seemed to be still.
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on her body and covering her with a layer of silvery glow.
Yan Nansheng raised his chin slightly and glanced around with eyes as sharp as an eagle.
Her long hair fluttered gently in the night breeze, like black satin.
That beautiful face looked even colder and more proud under the moonlight.
She stood quietly on the shaft of the cart, like an inviolable statue of a goddess.
The light blue gown on her body swayed gently in the wind, outlining her tall and straight figure.
Her hands hung naturally at her sides, yet seemed to contain endless power.
She felt every blade of grass and every tree around her; not even the slightest movement escaped her perception.
Her eyes revealed a calmness and composure, as if everything was under her control.
The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness.
Yan Nansheng was not affected at all, her attention was completely focused on the surrounding environment.
Her ears moved slightly, picking up any possible signs of danger.
Her body was slightly tense, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
In this silent night, her presence made the enemies hiding in the darkness feel an invisible pressure.
She was like a bright star, illuminating the dark night and deterring those who intended to harm her and her mother.
Suddenly, a group of men in black appeared from all directions.
They were all dressed in black nightgown, with black cloth covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.
These men in black, holding sharp blades, quickly surrounded the carriage.
Yan Nansheng silently released his psychic powers and felt the internal strength of these assassins.
She discovered that although the internal strength of these assassins was not weak, none of them were top masters.
After she calmed down a little, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
"Since you are seeking death, don't blame me for being rude."
Yan Nansheng let out a low shout, and divine power and supernatural abilities were instantly bestowed upon him.
A faint light radiated around her body, as if the god of war had descended.
Yan Nansheng flashed and rushed towards the men in black like a ghost.
Her speed is so fast that it is dazzling.
With the blessing of divine power, her strength became extremely powerful, and killing people was as easy as cutting vegetables.
The men in black obviously did not expect Yan Nansheng to be so powerful. They waved their blades in panic, trying to resist Yan Nansheng's attack.
But their resistance seemed so pale and powerless in front of Yan Nansheng.
The long sword in Yan Nansheng's hand was like the scythe of the god of death, taking away a life with every swing.
Blood splattered, staining the ground red.
The men in black fell one after another, their eyes filled with fear and despair.
The secret guards in secret were all shocked when they saw this scene.
They knew she was powerful, but they had never seen her so ferocious.
Perhaps, among the noble families in the capital, Yan Nansheng's secret guards had the worst control over their facial expressions.
"This... this is too powerful!" a secret guard couldn't help but say in a low voice.
"Yes, the master is so strong, do we still have a chance to take action?" Another secret guard was also surprised.
However, they no longer care about their professional ethics.
In their opinion, Yan Nansheng seemed to have forgotten their existence.
With such a powerful master, they seem like trash.
There were also the maids around Yan Nansheng and Xie Xiyuan. If Yan Nansheng hadn't just told them to protect the imperial concubine, they would have taken action long ago. There were only a few vegetables, so why would the master have to do it himself?
If the people behind the scenes knew that these maids called the assassins they had trained with so much manpower and resources "vegetable melons", I wonder how rich their expressions would be.
In just a few breaths, Yan Nansheng killed more than a dozen assassins.
Her body was covered in blood, but there was no fear in her eyes.
She stood in a pool of blood, like an inviolable goddess.
With a flash, Yan Nansheng returned to the carriage.
She showed a gentle smile on her face and said to her mother: "Mom, it's okay, let's go home."
Xie Xiyuan looked at her daughter, and seeing that she was covered in blood, she quickly went forward and tried to touch her left and right. She was afraid of touching her daughter's wound, and she did not dare to touch her, and her fingers were trembling slightly.
"Why is there so much blood? Where are you injured?"
"Don't worry, mother." Yan Nansheng helped his mother sit down again, "It's not my blood."
The carriage continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
But Yan Nansheng knew that this assassination was just the beginning.
When they enter the palace tomorrow, an even more brutal struggle will be waiting for them.
After returning home, Yan Nansheng and his mother washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
Yan Nansheng lay on the bed, but he couldn't sleep at all.
The assassination scene just now kept appearing in her mind, and her heart was full of doubts.
