"Well, what time is it?" When Su Qinchao woke up, Shen Yong and Huang Yanchu were still playing chess.

The sky outside the window was no longer as clear as it had been in the morning, but had become dark and cloudy, as if it was going to rain.

He couldn't tell the time at all.

It was a rare day that Li Wu didn't come to see him, and he finally had a good sleep. However, there was no soft couch in the room, so he had to sit in the chair the whole time, which made his bones a little uncomfortable.

"It's not even three quarters past three in the afternoon." Shen Yong looked up, then turned his gaze back to the chessboard in front of him. It was his turn to make a move.

"Are you sure about this?" Huang Yanchu watched him place the piece and pinched the white piece's hand, suddenly becoming eager to make another move.

"What's wrong?" Hearing him say this, Shen Yong felt a little worried. He looked at the chessboard several times, but he didn't find anything wrong.

"I won." Huang Yanchu immediately placed a piece in the position he had already selected.

Then, a dark line hidden in the interweaving of many chess pieces appeared before our eyes.

He was the most difficult to detect, and he had been laying the groundwork around for a long time before he diverted Shen Yong's attention and successfully connected.

"Okay, you've become cunning too." Shen Yong stood up and looked carefully, only to find that he had been tricked for a long time.

This person clearly learned it with him, but now he is hiding it from him..., what a good trick to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Wait! The next one won't be so easy.

"Still playing? Didn't you say you had something to say?" Huang Yanchu reminded while tidying up the chess pieces on the board.

"Oh, by the way! My son will be turning 12 in two days, please come and join us." Shen Yong slapped his forehead and hurriedly took out two gold-stamped invitations from his sleeve pocket and handed them to the two of them respectively.

In many places, it is customary for children to start working at the age of twelve. Usually a big banquet is held and relatives and friends are invited.

This is the situation in Shen Yong's family. Originally, he saw that the recent developments in the court were not very good and did not plan to do anything.

But his mother, Old Madam Shen, felt that the Shen family was already in decline, and since it was a rare happy event, it had to be celebrated in a grand manner.

Contact the nobles who still have a say. Their family is in this situation anyway, and they haven't done anything wrong, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Has Princess Yucheng invited us?" Su Qinchao opened the invitation and looked at the time of the banquet.

September 2nd, I don’t know if I will have time to go then.

If not, he didn't want to let Yunniang go alone, after all, the banquet might continue until the evening.

And only those of them who have been lurking in the dark know that Chang'an at night looks peaceful but is actually full of dangers.

"No." Shen Yong shook his head. How dare he do that? His brother was such a bad person. He should not pollute the princess's eyes again.

"If you don't invite her, how do you know the princess won't go?" Huang Yanchu carefully put the invitation into his arms.

Occasionally, when Princess Yucheng chatted with him, she would also mention Shen Yong, saying that although he had been naughty since childhood, he was a rare kind and lovely person.

He was the only person who treated her wholeheartedly during the many years she had lived in the Shen family.

If he invites her, she will definitely go.

...

That night, at the Jade City Princess's Mansion

"Go, of course I'll go." Princess Yucheng closed the invitation and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Although the Shen family has declined, the network of relationships behind his family still exists.

Moreover, most of those people are military generals, and they have close ties with the Twelve Guards.

Especially those old nobles who had fought with the previous emperor, they still recognized them.

This would be a good opportunity for her to win people over.

In addition, for those remaining, even those who secretly had disloyalty, she had arranged for some of them to be replaced these days.

Now is a good opportunity to make contact and personally pass on the most important information.

Of course, Shen Yong’s child’s birthday is also a big event, and she will arrange a place for him to study at the Imperial College.

After all, relying on the Shen family and Shen Yong's current lack of ambition, it is almost impossible for him to squeeze into the top level again.

It would be better to raise grandchildren earlier.

She thought Shen Qilin was a very good person. He was not only as kind as Shen Yong, but also braver and more able to endure hardships. He also got along well with Li Yun.

...

"I told you not to come over here!" Li Wu supported Su Qinchao, who was shot in the abdomen, and sat down in an inconspicuous dark alley.

Then he used the broken and discarded bamboo curtain in the alley to cover him for protection.

"There were two arrows behind you at that time, and you couldn't dodge them." Otherwise, Su Qinchao would not have risked being discovered by the other party and used his spear to help her block them.

He had already guessed that he would be injured.

But between being injured himself or watching Li Wu die in front of him, Su Qinchao decisively chose the former.

Sure enough, as soon as he moved, the opponent's hidden arrow followed him like a shadow.

Fortunately, he finally took a breath and dodged, otherwise he would not have been shot in the side of the abdomen.

Tonight they have officially started and began to attack Princess Minghua's most private parts.

Unexpectedly, I ran into the strongest killer in history.

They seemed to be more organized, and their tracking skills and martial arts were comparable to those of the real royal secret guards.

He doesn't look like an assassin, but more like a well-trained soldier. However, it is impossible for a soldier to have such high martial arts skills, which is very puzzling.

In addition, each of the opponents was equipped with a small crossbow, which was not only incredibly accurate, but also almost never missed its target.

Coupled with their own martial arts, they are even more powerful.

As soon as they came up, they suppressed all of them.

Even though Li Wu was a martial arts prodigy, she didn't have much room to fight back if she wanted to escape with the others.

At that time, they didn't know they would encounter such a tough guy, so naturally they didn't prepare for it.

He didn't even reach the door of the yard because he was damaged in more than half by the sudden hidden arrow.

The rest also lost their lives during the pursuit.

You know, there were more than a dozen people when they went there, but now there are only two of them still alive.

Even though we have escaped temporarily, those people will definitely catch up with us in no time.

If you don't think of a solution, you may not be able to escape.

"Why don't you go first? Every survivor is a survivor." Su Qin panted in an uneasy voice.

Then he gritted his teeth, tore open the cloth on the injured area, and poured the special medicine powder that Bian Que had given him on it.

If Li Wu was alone, she would be able to escape no matter how many people or how strong the other side had.

If you take him...
