Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 88 Assassination
The blue sky is as blue as washing, and large white clouds are connected together.The scorching sun hung high, and the temperature in the air was a bit high.Shen Wanyu wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, and exhaled.

"Let's go back to the Hou Mansion through this alley, it's cooler here."

Qiu Zhu glanced at the somewhat secluded alley, and frowned: "Miss, this alley is a bit off. What should I do if I get caught?"

"Qiuzhu, you worry too much. This is Dakun's capital, who under the emperor's feet would dare to do such a thing recklessly. Hurry up, or your young lady will be burned to death by the sun."

After Shen Wanyu finished speaking, she walked towards the alley on her own, and it was indeed much cooler here than on the street.Qiuzhu and the others hesitated for a moment, but finally resigned themselves to their fate and chased after them.

"Miss, you wait for us."

It's really strange, Miss Mingming still walks the same way as before.But I don't know why, but the distance between them has been opened very far in the blink of an eye.

Shen Wanyu's steps did not stop, but her speed became a little faster.This is the technique written on a piece of paper she found in the secret book that Shizi gave her—Phantom, which seems to be practicing human speed.She practiced a few times before, and just tried it today, and the effect seems to be pretty good.This is just the first level. If you practice to the last level, it is said that you won't even be able to see the afterimage.

I don't know if that persimmon knows that there is such a treasure hidden in the non-kung fu method, if he knows, then he is really generous enough.

Shen Wanyu looked back at the few people she had left behind by a long distance, sighed and stood there waiting for them to come forward.Leaning lazily against the wall, she closed her eyes slightly.Feeling the rare coolness in the hot summer, this small alley is relatively cool and suitable for hands-on.

"Hey, Miss, why are you walking so fast?"

Qiuzhu and the others chased after her, their little faces were blushing.There was dense sweat on his forehead, and he was out of breath when speaking.

"Is there? You are too slow, I have been standing here waiting for you for a long time." Shen Wanyu did not stand up straight, still lazily leaning against the wall.He didn't even open his eyelids.

"Miss, let's go." Qiuzhu looked at the secluded alley, and always felt that it was not safe to stay here for a long time.

Shen Wanyu opened her eyes, and a cold light flashed in them.She slowly stood up straight, looking past Qiuzhu and the others towards a corner of the alley not far away.

"Followed all the way, aren't you ready to come out?"

A languid and cold voice sounded in the quiet alley, Qiu Zhu and the others were slightly stunned and followed her lady's line of sight.

I saw a few men in black coming out of the corner not far ahead, holding long swords with a cold light in their hands.With a black scarf on his face, only a pair of icy eyes were exposed.The murderous aura inside makes people chill, and their whole body is only cold and evil.

Frightened eyes flashed across the eyes of Qiu Zhu and the others, but they still stood in front of their young lady without the slightest hesitation.No matter what, they can't let the lady have trouble.

Shen Wanyu looked at the four little maids who were obviously scared, but still standing in front of her.There was a warm current in my heart, the so-called friendship in adversity is probably like this.

"Are you Shen Wanyu, the eldest lady of Beining Hou Mansion?"

It seemed that the leader of the men in black suddenly stood up and spoke coldly, his cold eyes fell on her as if looking at a dead person.

"How is it, so what if it's not?"

Shen Wanyu stretched out her hand and pulled the four little maids behind her, raised her head and glanced casually at the black-clothed leader.Seeing their attire, I couldn't help complaining. Black clothes and masks are standard ancient killer equipment. Is this because they are afraid that others will not know that they are here to kill?
A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the leader in black, this little girl was not afraid of them at all.Killers like them who live in the dark walk on the edge of blood and death all day long, and the murderous aura on their bodies is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"If so, today is your death day. If not, you will still die here."

The cold voice and cruel words made the hearts of Qiu Zhu and the others rise to their throats.The hand holding his lady's clothes couldn't help but tighten a little, and he looked at her with worry in his eyes.Who actually bribed the killer and wanted the life of his young lady.

Shen Wanyu felt the tension and worry of the people behind her, she turned her head and gave them a comforting look.She knew that Yufeng was protecting her in the dark, and Shizi's person should be in the dark too.That's why she made such a bold move, otherwise she wouldn't take the risk.She cherishes this little life very much, how can she die before her ideal is realized.

"Brother killer, your words don't seem to give me a choice. Whether I am Shen Wanyu or not, I will definitely die today." Shen Wanyu stood still, looking at her with a slight smile in her clear and bright eyes. To the leader in black: "Since the results are the same, can I ask you a question before I die?"

The black-clothed leader's eyes flickered for a moment, he didn't expect this little girl to be so calm at this time.Rao is such a cold-blooded and ruthless person, he has some admiration for the little girl in front of him.

"What's the matter, you can ask." It was rare for him to show mercy once, which could be regarded as fulfilling one of her wishes before death.

"I want to know who wants my life." Shen Wanyu's eyes became clearer, she just looked at the black-clothed leader quietly without sadness or joy.

For those who walk in the dark, the goodness in their hearts has long been wiped out.But when they touch this purity again, the clarity in their hearts will be touched.Shen Wanyu grasped this point, trying to extract the person behind the scenes from the mouth of the black-clothed leader.

There was a trace of hesitation in the eyes of the black-clothed leader, as their line of work cannot reveal the people behind them.But when he came into contact with those clear eyes, the things in his heart that he had forgotten were hooked out.What a pure person with such a pair of clear eyes.

"We can't reveal the person behind it, but I can give you a hint. That person's status is very noble, and he is very generous. There are pythons embroidered on his clothes."

When Shen Wanyu heard the words of the leader in black, her pupils shrank sharply.The only people who can embroider pythons on their clothes are members of the royal family, but she doesn't remember that she has provoked anyone from the royal family.Originally, she thought it was the Second Aunt or the Shangshu Mansion, and even suspected that it was Zhen Zhaoyi from the palace, but she never thought that it would be someone from the royal family.

"Well, I've told you. Now, it's time for you to surrender your life to me."

After the leader in black finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly.Lifting the long sword in his hand, he stabbed fiercely at Shen Wanyu, the long sword gleamed with a dazzling cold light under the sunlight.

This sword carried a mighty momentum without any tricks.Quickly and accurately, he went towards her heart, trying to kill her with one blow so that she would be less painful.

The black-clothed men behind the black-clothed leader also moved, and instantly surrounded Qiuzhu and the others.But they didn't kill anyone, they just prevented them from saving the person who was standing there quietly.

"I'm sorry, I can't die yet." Shen Wanyu didn't have any fear in the face of the flying sword, she raised her head: "Yufeng, come out."

The leader in black was stunned for a moment because of her calmness.Seeing that the sword that was about to pierce her heart was blocked by another long sword, a stern man in a navy blue robe suddenly appeared beside Shen Wan.

The leader in black immediately came back to his senses, narrowing his eyes slightly.He really underestimated the little girl, and looked coldly at the man in the navy blue robe.It seemed that in order to kill that girl, the man in front of him had to be dealt with first.

Yufeng glanced at the black-clothed leader lightly, and the long sword in his hand seemed to be alive.Cutting through the air, he went straight to the black-clothed leader, pouring the inside into the sword.He swung his sword faster and faster, with deadly moves.

The black-clothed leader retreated steadily after being attacked, and it was the first time Shen Wanyu saw Yufeng make a move.You can rest assured that his martial arts are so high before he arrives.She looked back at the men in black who wanted to help, and frowned.Yu Shui should be back, why is there no one there yet?

The person who had been hiding in the dark moved slightly, and just as he was about to make a move, he saw a blue figure flashing across the alley.The speed was astonishingly fast, and she reached Shen Wanyu's side in the blink of an eye.

"Miss, what you want."

Yu Shui glanced at the battle situation, and handed the porcelain bottles in his hand to Shen Wanyu.Then she flew to join the battle, pulled out the software on her waist and stopped the men in black.

Holding the porcelain bottle, Shen Wanyu retreated to Qiuzhu and the others.Qiuzhu immediately stepped forward and looked at her worriedly: "Miss, you are not injured."

They almost died of fright when they saw that the long sword was about to pierce into the chest of their own lady.Shen Wanyu glanced at them and comforted: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

After speaking, he looked at the battle situation in front of him, because Yushui joined.They are in the upper hand here, and the cooperation between the two is a tacit understanding.Watching them strike fiercely and move fiercely.

"Yufeng, remember to keep alive, I'm useful." Shen Wanyu clenched the porcelain bottles in her hands, and the corners of her mouth curled up.It was gloomy and cold, making people feel chills down the spine.

Qiuzhu and the others looked at the sinister lady who was smiling, and couldn't help shaking.It feels like some people are going to be unlucky.

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the leader in black. He joined hands with several people, but he was not their opponent.His cold eyes swept towards the little girl not far away, and he winked at the people around him.

Several men in black immediately surrounded the two of them and attacked with all their might.A silver dagger shot out from the hand of the black-clothed leader, and quickly moved towards Shen Wanyu.
