Yangshan Temple is very popular and has a huge flow of people. Those who have been staring at Shen Lanyue dare not look away and always keep their eyes firmly fixed on her.

It was not until Shen Lanyue said goodbye to the elders and got on the carriage that the people in the dark relaxed.

Shen Lanyue in the carriage had her hands tightly grasped by Fanfan, and she nervously kept trying to look outside.

Shen Lanyue smiled at her soothingly: "It's okay, the Marquis has sent someone in the dark." Before leaving, Shen Lanyue did not tell Fanfan about this because she was worried that her nervousness would lead to the discovery of the people who had been observing them in the dark.

I told her about this just after I got on the carriage, because I wanted her to protect herself well if there is any danger later, and not rush in front of her.

"Madam, but I can't listen to you on this matter!" Fanfan frowned and said with a look of disapproval.

"Silly boy, the secret guards will naturally protect me wholeheartedly. I am also their master. But if it were you, they might not pay all their attention to you. If you get hurt because of me, I will be even more overwhelmed."

"Only if you see that the situation is not right and protect yourself first, can you really help me, right?"

Of course Shen Lanyue understood Fanfan's thoughts. She knew that this girl put her own safety first, so she asked her to avoid her attack later.

With tears in her eyes, Fanfan still nodded at Shen Lanyue.

Only then did Shen Lanyue smile at her with relief.

Not long after they finished speaking, the horse suddenly startled and neighed, and the carriage began to shake. The coachman hurriedly calmed the horse, trying to get it to stop.

At the same time, he said loudly to Shen Lanyue inside: "Madam! The horse is frightened, please sit tight."

The two followers surrounding the carriage also drew their swords and looked around.

"lady!"

Even though Fanfan already knew it, he still looked at Shen Lanyue with a shiver all over. However, he saw that there was no panic in Shen Lanyue's eyes. Instead, she was terrifyingly calm.

There were emotions in her dark eyes that she couldn't see clearly, and they looked so cold that Fanfan instantly thought of someone.

Her mind shuddered and the look of Marquis Changning appeared in her mind. At this moment, Shen Lanyue's eyes were so similar to his!

Shen Lanyue was very calm. She could hear the sound of swords clashing and the howling wind. She knew that the people outside were coming.

The two followers outside only had ordinary skills, so naturally they could not deal with the people who were sent specifically to assassinate them.

But the more tense and thrilling the environment was, the calmer Shen Lanyue felt. She patted Fanfan soothingly while thinking about the bottom line of those people.

Soon, the noise outside stopped, and a sword lifted the curtain of the carriage. The eyes that looked at Shen Lanyue and the others were as cold as dead objects.

"Ma'am, please."

Shen Lanyue's jawline tightened slightly, she exhaled a few breaths, met his gaze, and pulled Fanfan behind her and got off the carriage.

The two followers were already lying on the ground, while the coachman on the side was forced to kneel on the ground with a knife at his neck by a black-clad assassin.

Shen Lanyue spoke first: "What do you want? Money or something else? As long as you don't hurt us, everything is fine."

Of course she knew their purpose, but she couldn't say it out loud first. She could only treat them as robbers and said so deliberately.

Shen Lanyue's words obviously stunned the leader standing in the center. The corner of his mouth twitched and he met the gazes of others.

"We don't want money or anything else, we just want to take something from the lady."

"I am the wife of the current Marquis of Changning. As long as you send us back unharmed, you will naturally get some benefits."

Shen Lanyue's beautiful eyebrows were deliberately frowned just before he said that, and her eyes wandered around in panic.

The assassin leader looked at the panicked Shen Lanyue and laughed loudly, "Hahahaha". Suddenly, his voice changed drastically, and he said in a cold and malicious tone, "Then take Madam's life!"

As he said that, he headed straight towards Shen Lanyue with quick steps.

Shen Lanyue's eyes turned cold in an instant. She pushed Fanfan, who was standing behind her, away and faced the tip of his sword without a trace of fear in her eyes.

Fan Fan was stunned by Shen Lanyue's push. Her eyes were as sharp as a sword piercing Shen Lanyue. Her brain nerves suddenly felt painful and she screamed in a shrill voice, "Madam!"

She wanted to move forward, but it was too late.

With a hissing sound, the sword that was already in front of Shen Lanyue's chest was deflected by another sword. The assassin, who had put all his attention on Shen Lanyue, did not notice the secret guard who quietly appeared behind them.

With one move, some of them were killed and had no time to react. These people were carefully selected by Meng Changce and were not the carriage followers just now.

In a few seconds, the situation was reversed again.

The assassins who were originally in the upper hand were almost all killed, and after the assassin leader was deflected by the sword, his eyes suddenly became truly ferocious and he killed four people.

"You did all this on purpose!"

Shen Lanyue met his gaze with a hint of surprise.

The assassin leader was stunned by her look, and then he struggled and became serious. An absurd thought flashed through his mind. Marquis Changning actually secretly sent someone to protect his wife?

If it is true, it would be absolutely good news for his master.

An obvious weakness can be fatal.

"Who are you and who sent you here?" said the leader of the secret sword-wielding assassins who was protecting Shen Lanyue.

"Of course it's the person who wants to kill you. Someone wants to buy her life, and we only do things according to the money." He said this deliberately, because in his previous conversation with Shen Lanyue, he had made it clear that he was not a robber.

Then there is another type of people in the underworld who are capable of carrying out assassinations. What he meant was that even if you arrest them all, you will not be able to find out who the buyer is.

"Really? Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do so."

After saying that, the two sides started fighting again. Shen Lanyue was surrounded by two people. When she saw that the assassin was obviously about to fall to the secret guards, her eyes flashed, and she saw that the moves used by the secret guards were basically fatal.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, he smiled, signaled to the secret guard beside him with his eyes, and left his protection.

Shen Lanyue's long eyelashes flickered slightly, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, and she quietly approached a place where the assassin could see her at a glance.

The knife flashed, blood flowed, and Shen Lanyue screamed in surprise.

At the same time, the assassins only had the leader left, and he escaped with a smoke bomb.

The secret guard wanted to chase again.

Shen Lanyue clenched her bleeding arm with one hand and stopped them in a stern voice, "Let him go. This is the chance to be truly successful."
