It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

The sun sets over the mountains, and the colorful sunset fills the sky.

After eating, An Xin went to a big tree and jumped up, lying on the thick branches, admiring the beautiful scenery at dusk.

I listened to the crisp chirping of birds in the woods.

An Xin was lying leisurely on the tree. She only felt the branch she was lying on swaying 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 elegant orchids showing off, and his black hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin. His jade-like face highlighted his nobility.

The man with picturesque features had a faint smile on his face, looking at her with gentle eyes.

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

Jiang Xuan gently raised the corners of his pale lips, not feeling a little disappointed because of what An Xin said.

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

Jiang Xuan is not interested in women who see his face as a nymphomaniac.

Someone like An Xin made him very comfortable.

Maybe it was because she saw him like this that he was always calm and could only appreciate beautiful things without obsessive greed, which made him want to get closer to her more and more.

"Tomorrow is the third day. The enthronement ceremony of the new Emperor Beiming has not yet been held. At this time, the return trip may be greatly hindered."

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

A cool wind blew around, making the leaves rustle.

"There's no need to go back, someone will invite us into the city tomorrow and treat us to delicious food and drinks."

Jiang Xuan looked at the brazen woman in front of him with a smile in his eyes, without any doubts about what she said, "Okay, let's wait until tomorrow to eat Qiong Beiming."

An Xin's fair ears twitched slightly, and the corners of her lips slowly raised, "If I want to eat delicious food, I'm afraid I have to spend tonight safely."

Jiang Xuan's warm gaze suddenly became deep and cold. He pursed his thin lips lightly and found that the air around him was too silent.

The thin and slender figure straightened his waist, and his fair and slender fingers touched his waist, where a sharp soft sword was entangled and could pop out with just a click.

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 on his waist with absolute trust in her, and leaned towards her as if he was weak and unable to care for himself.

"Asking for protection," Jiang Xuan said decisively when he noticed An Xin's hand reaching out to throw him down, "The kind that gives you a reward."

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

"Is 1 taels enough?"

An Xin looked at him leisurely and said, "Haha, Mr. Jiang's life is worth 1 taels. How about I ask others after I return to Beijing and tell you whether it is enough."

Jiang Xuan had a smile in his eyes, pretending to be hurt, and said, "With our friendship, you have the nerve to talk to me like a lion."

"Are we friends?" An Xin pretended to be bored and flicked his fingers, "Besides, friendship is friendship. Money is money. Whether you want money or life, you have the final say."

An Xin rolled her eyes. Anyway, no one could see her this late at night, so it would not affect her image as a high official.

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

"Twenty thousand taels cannot be more."

"5 taels, no counter-offer." "Huh!" He wanted to trick her into saving people, but he couldn't shed so much blood.

"I came to Beiming with you."

"You came here on your own, it has nothing to do with me."

"..." There were a dozen killers hiding in the woods, and they felt despised.

Isn't the killing intent emanating from them obvious enough?
They are so close to the two of them, how can they ignore this?
"!!?" This is disrespectful to professional killers like them.

The location here was not far from the camp where they were stationed. If An Xin and Jiang Xuan had average strength, it would not be a problem to assassinate them and escape.

At other times, An Xin would be accompanied by many people. This was the best opportunity the group of people sent by Liao Angkuo to assassinate An Xin had found in the past two days.

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

They heard a swishing sound from the other side of the dark woods, and a group of black figures held weapons in their hands and attacked them with a cold light.

When the assassins saw An Xin and the others not moving away or moving, they thought they were frightened.

They, who had been ignored just now, immediately felt the vanity of being killers, and prepared to kill the two of them with one knife so that they could go back and pay the remaining balance for the murder.

An Xin's cold eyes swept over the scene in front of him. He was holding a long branch that had just been broken in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips. He looked at the oncoming blade, and a fierce look suddenly flashed deep in his eyes. .

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

"Bang, bang, bang..."

With a series of noises, five or six killers were thrown to the ground. Before they could raise their hands to cover their strangled necks, their throats were broken and they suffocated to death.

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

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

After being shocked, and thinking of the high reward promised to the man who killed the woman in front of him, all the men in black took action together, with evil eyes in their eyes, and all the weapons in their hands chopped off An Xin's head and limbs.

Launched a new round of brutal attacks on An Xin.

Looking at the menacing killer, An Xin grabbed Jiang Xuan's clothes by the collar, and as if he threw them away, he landed firmly on another safe tree.

"That's okay. I don't think your protection is worth 5 taels." Jiang Xuan touched the back of his neck with his fair fingers and said casually with his lips raised.

He suddenly felt that talking to An Xin like this would be more vivid and more interesting to get along with.

"If you dare to be less, I don't need these killers to kill you, my aunt can skin you off."

Jiang Xuan shrank his neck with a smile in his eyes, "The adults are so fierce, but the juniors are so scared."

An Xin was busy dealing with the killer, and was no longer fooling around with Jiang Xuan, whose brain was suddenly abnormal. The branch she broke in her hand was imbued with inner strength that was as hard as black iron.

He nimbly shuttled back and forth among the woods to avoid the killer's attack. The branch he held in his hand hit the killer's shoulders and back like a whip. Every blow made them fall to the tree with their skin torn open and howling.

The killer suffered heavy casualties for a while.

Someone found Jiang Xuan sitting in another tree and chatting with An Xin from time to time. Thinking of An Xin protecting him just now, he felt that this person must be very important to An Xin.

A hint of cunning flashed in the killer's sinister eyes, as if he had suddenly found the weak spot to restrain An Xin. He turned around and attacked Jiang Xuan, who was sitting on the tree next to him and was always paying attention to An Xin's safety.
