We had lunch at the Prefect's Mansion, but the meal was not nutritious. Basically, Su Zhanming and Prefect Bai were praising each other. One praised the other for loving the people like a son, and the other praised the other for his goddaughter's good business and so on.

. Su Xiuyun felt so bored that she almost dozed off.

This was someone else's house and she couldn't leave the party early and hang out at their house, so she could only wait for the two of them to finish their compliments and then leave with Su Zhanming.

After leaving the prefect's mansion, Su Xiuyun was worried. Su Zhanming noticed it and asked her: "What's wrong? She's looking sad."

Hearing this, Su Xiuyun raised her head and looked at the current sun, "Dad, do you think when will Baicheng be restored?"

Su Zhanming didn't expect that she would ask this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. He could only touch her head and said: "It won't take long for us, father and daughter, to work together."

"Well, what dad said is that Yun'er is fine. She just misses her grandmother a little bit."

To be honest, Su Zhanming was a little worried about his old mother at home after being out for so long. He sighed and took Su Xiuyun back to the inn. It was hard to talk outside just now, but now that he is back in the house, he can exchange information that both parties have obtained.

Su Xiuyun told Su Zhanming the information she heard from her uncle, and the other party also told Su Zhanming what the old man said. The two sides checked it again and found that the information was very similar, except that the reputation of the prefect was slightly different.

But these are not important for the time being. Su Xiuyun told Su Zhanming that she heard outsiders plotting at night and that the prefect's concubine was one of the conspirators. After hearing this, Su Zhanming first blamed her for going out late at night, in case something happened.

What to do if there is danger?

Later, I was lucky to run away, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous. Su Xiuyun didn't think about this, but was focused on what they would do to swallow up Baicheng. Su Zhanming couldn't say that he completely believed this, so he just told Su Xiuyun not to act rashly.

, go out and find out more by yourself.

Both of them had been busy all day now. Su Xiuyun was a little tired and went back to her room to rest, while Su Zhanming continued to inquire about the news. After waking up, Su Zhanming came back. Today they did not go to the hall to eat, but Su Zhanming

Conversation in the room.

"Yun'er, dad has inquired about what you said and it is indeed true. Those people are indeed plotting some big plans, but we don't know the details for the time being."

"You and I will need to work together in the next few days. Are you scared of Yun'er?" Su Zhanming said this because he wanted to ask Su Xiuyun if he was willing. After all, this matter still has certain risks. If he is in danger, he may

They regretted it very much, but they had to do this for the sake of the people of Baicheng.

Su Xiuyun knew the reason why her father asked so, so she just smiled lightly and said, "Dad, maybe he forgot that Yun'er was the first to know about this matter."

The two of them already knew the meaning of these words as soon as they came out. There is no need to say that the following words were tacitly understood. "Then did daddy find out anything about the Liu family?"

"Yes, but the clues were lost soon. It seems that someone has been following behind to stop us." Su Zhanming also had a headache when he said this, but Su Xiuyun was very optimistic. "Don't worry, dad, there will always be a day to find out."

"It's just that we have to do it as soon as possible. Yun'er really wants to go back to accompany her ancestors——"

'Wow!'

'Tis!'

Before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow shot through the air. Su Zhanming reacted very quickly and protected Su Xiuyun behind him. Leng Li also climbed over the window from another room immediately. At this time, there were three people in the room, Su Zhanming and

Both Leng Li and Leng Li had high combat value, but Su Xiuyun could only hide behind them if she didn't have the time.

Unexpectedly, a sharp arrow was just the beginning, and many arrows were shot in one after another. Then there was the sound of fierce fighting outside the courtyard. The sound should be people from their team fighting, and there should be a lot of people coming. Su Zhanming secretly estimated

depends on the number of enemies.

Fortunately, the force value of the people they brought was not high, and the enemy did not get any benefits for a while. Su Zhanming ordered Leng Li to take care of Su Xiuyun in the room, while he went out to fight the enemy. Su Xiuyun knew that he could do nothing, so he did not

As he spoke, he hid obediently behind Leng Li.

Leng Li firmly protected Su Xiuyun behind him, and raised his hands to fight with the enemies who broke in through the window from behind. The purpose of these assassins was obvious, that is, to kill this group of people, so they did not leave any room for cruelty in their attacks. Although Leng Li said

It's awesome, but it's really difficult to deal with so many people at once and protect Su Xiuyun.

Seeing someone coming towards Su Xiuyun's back door, Su Xiuyun could no longer sit still and wait for death, so she took out a silver needle and attacked the enemy. Seeing that she had the ability to protect herself, Leng Li specially assisted her, and the two of them cooperated well in the room.

It's not a bad deal, but I didn't suffer any loss.

Gradually, the sound of fighting outside gradually died down, and the enemies inside the house were also killed by Leng Li and fell to the ground. However, Leng Li did not kill them completely, but left them alive waiting for Su Zhanming to come back for interrogation. The enemies outside were all killed.

Otherwise there is no way to escape.

After dealing with the situation outside, Su Zhanming quickly returned to the room to check whether Su Xiuyun was injured. He was relieved to see that the latter was unharmed. Then everyone focused on the only living person. The assassin's limbs were removed coldly and he was lying on the ground unable to do anything.

move.

Su Zhanming took a few steps forward, knelt down and asked him, "Who sent you here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw that the assassin vomited black blood and soon lost his breath. It seemed that he hid poison in his mouth and committed suicide. Su Zhanming felt a little regretful, but now that everyone was dead, he didn't say anything.

.And just from the look of death, you can see the determination of the person behind it this time.

Although the person was dead, the body search could still be carried out. In the end, Su Zhanming and others found barbarian tattoos on all the assassins, and it was generally confirmed that the people behind the scenes were barbarians, but the specific ones were not clear yet. What happened tonight

The fight might not be over yet, so Su Zhanming told everyone not to sleep tonight and to be careful.

Everyone spent the night cautiously, but fortunately nothing happened in the rest of the night. Everyone was relieved when there was no movement until dawn. Su Zhanming was just asking everyone to rest and recuperate when they saw the subordinates who were out asking for news every day.

He came back in a hurry.

"It's not good, sir, it's not good, miss!"

The inquirer had been with Su Zhanming for many years. He was calm and reliable and rarely acted in such a hurry, but he could tell that this matter was not a big deal.

"What's the matter with being so anxious?"

"Sorry, sir, a large number of people suddenly fell ill in the city this morning. Not long after I went to investigate, those sick people died one after another."

"Earlier, there was talk of a curse in the city. Now more and more people are dying, and everyone increasingly believes that the curse is just a rumor. So...so..."

"So what!"
