After much urging, Song Guanzhou steeled his heart, thinking that he himself was the target, and leaving Zhuang Gu alone might not be fatal.

So, supporting Ren Dong, they hurried forward. Lin Shan was lured away by Yu Cheng's crossbow, which fired several arrows along the way, forcing Lin Shan to retreat and protect Song Guanzhou.

Zhuang Gu twisted her ankle, and it was in excruciating pain, but she was still trying her best to pull it out.

Song Guanzhou looked around at the chaotic scene, and could hardly find anyone from the Duke's mansion.

For a moment, she was afraid.

In modern peaceful society, the biggest conflict is when a car collides with another person, and the other person gets out and immediately starts cursing at her ancestors. She has a tough personality but is soft-hearted, and tears start falling as soon as she opens her mouth.

As for those things in the workplace, they mean nothing when it comes to life and death.

How can I not be afraid?

The crossbow bolt was aimed at her forehead, which caused Lin Shan to leave her. How could she not panic?

Ren Dong was also visiting Long'en Temple for the first time. The two, master and servant, were in a panic and didn't know which way to go. But the further they went, the fewer people there were. Song Guanzhou immediately stopped them, "We can't go this way!"

Honeysuckle was on the verge of tears, "Young Madam, where are we going?"

Where to?!

"Nowhere else!" Song Guanzhou, dragging Ren Dong along and leaning on his cane, squeezed into an abandoned Buddhist hall next door. It seemed to be under renovation, with a pile of miscellaneous items and cobwebs everywhere.

"Young Madam?"

Honeysuckle asked in a low voice, and Song Guanzhou replied in a hoarse voice, "Let's each find a place to hide. Whenever we see someone, remember what I said and stab them in their weak and fatal spots."

She swiftly pulled out the gilded hairpin she had deliberately worn that morning. Inside was brass, incredibly hard, and the tip of the hairpin was sharp. She held it in her palm, her body going limp as she tried to hide behind the banner in the corner.

Honeysuckle understood, and moved the small incense burner over, preparing to hide under the offering table covered with yellow cloth.

Song Guanzhou immediately stopped him, "No!"

You can see it as soon as you enter; even a thief could probably guess it. Honeysuckle looked around, and finally, carrying the bronze incense burner, she stepped over the miscellaneous items and climbed onto the roof beam.

Great place!

Song Guanzhou nodded slightly, and the two of them held their breath and concealed their bodies.

Sure enough, a short while later, light footsteps were heard. Song Guanzhou knew from the sound that the other party was deliberately making their footsteps light, and that it was not those panicked monks.

The assassin has arrived.

Sanbing and Siding caught up with him and exchanged a smile. This good-for-nothing Song was hiding in this place, practically waiting to die.

The two of them quickly looked around and found that it was an abandoned house with no escape route at the back, only a crooked door at the front.

Catching a turtle in a jar!

The two men moved quietly, took out their short knives and held them in their hands, entered the room, and each took one side of the other, searching around the abandoned Buddha statue in the middle.

First, there was the offering table covered with a yellow cloth. Sanbing swept it away with a knife, tearing the yellow cloth to shreds and leaving it empty.

Liang Shangrendong felt a lingering fear. Fortunately, he listened to the young mistress, otherwise he would have been hacked to death.

Sanbing bent over, searching the base of the Buddha statue. Just as his buttocks were about to touch the banner, the place where the young mistress was hiding, she was lying on the beam, so frightened that she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to cry out.

Song Guanzhou naturally knew that the thief was right in front of her, and at this moment she felt a kind of reckless courage!

With one hand on her cane and the other tightly gripping a brass hairpin, she silently counted to three, then lifted the banner and jumped onto Sanbing's back on one foot. Before Sanbing could shake her off, her hairpin pierced his neck.

"Ah! You slut!"

Sanbing cried out in pain, trying to shake off the grieving Song Guanzhou. At the opposite side, Siding rushed over with a knife and a mask. Rendong could no longer hold back and smashed the bronze incense burner down on Siding.

She was off-target and only hit Si Ding on the shoulder!

"You vile woman, how dare you hurt Grandpa!" Although he looked up and saw the scarred, ugly woman on the beam, killing the vixen in front of him was more important!

The next moment, Song Guanzhou was thrown to the ground by Sanbing. Sanbing, who was clutching his neck and unable to stand, was panting heavily. He staggered and raised his knife to slash at Song Guanzhou, but Song Guanzhou stepped back and used his cane to barely block the attack.

Four men arrived from behind, grabbed Song Guanzhou by the hair, and lifted the frail Song Guanzhou backward. He took out his knife and was about to slit Song Guanzhou's thin neck. Song Guanzhou cried out in panic, "Even if Jin Fuyun kills me, I can't escape! His Majesty has long wanted to find fault with the Jin family. You treat human life like dirt. The Jin family won't last long!"

This was a long story, and Song Guanzhou used almost all the strength he had in his life to finish it quickly.

Si Ding was stunned. San Bing, who had been a few steps away, was no longer of any use. He knelt down, let out a howl, and pulled out the hairpin. Instantly, blood gushed out.

"You bitch!"

Si Ding gripped Song Guanzhou's disheveled hair tightly, and her beautiful face instantly vanished.

He raised his hand, but the knife didn't fall!

As Lin Shan arrived, a crossbow bolt shot out and pierced straight through his wrist. With a clang, the dagger fell to the ground, and the hand holding Song Guanzhou's hair loosened considerably. In the blink of an eye, Song Guanzhou picked up the dagger without even looking and stabbed it behind his back!

"Young Madam, watch out!"

With his last bit of strength, Sanbing swung the dagger over. Rendong, who had already climbed down, was dizzy from the sight. Unable to hold back any longer, she let out a wail and pounced on it.

Honeysuckle missed her chance; the knife plunged straight into Si Ding's lower abdomen.

Two short knives were stuck in his body, one his own and the other his brother Si Ding's. Although Ren Dong hadn't made it in time, her voice reminded Song Guan Zhou, and she subconsciously went limp and lay down!

only……

The posture was indecent; his head was buried between Si Ding's legs, and just as the two knives pierced Si Ding's chest, his body went limp.

Just as it was about to hit Song Guanzhou, Lin Shan rushed over and kicked Si Ding away!

Then he helped Song Guanzhou up, "Young Madam, are you injured?"

Suddenly, Song Guanzhou pushed him away, "Kill them both!" At this moment, Song Guanzhou was furious and frantic! Ren Dong scrambled over to him, hugged Song Guanzhou, and burst into tears.

Lin Shan quickly got up, looked at the already dead Si Ding, and turned to look at San Bing. Blood was flowing from his neck, and soon it stained the dusty ground.

He checked her pulse in her neck before turning to Song Guanzhou and reporting, "Young Madam, they're all dead."

"it is good!"

Where is that thief who led you away?

Lin Shan knelt on one knee before him, bowing his head in apology, "He ran away."

Ran?

Song Guanzhou was about to reprimand him when he glanced up and saw that Lin Shan's shoulder was wet and his clothes had a small hole in them. "Was he hit by a crossbow bolt?"

"I was careless and failed to dodge," Lin Shan said, his voice filled with resentment. "But I... didn't let him off easy either; he lost an eye!"

Song Guanzhou's body went limp at this moment, and he tried to get up several times but couldn't.

Honeysuckle was no exception; she was trembling all over and could barely speak. Seeing this, Lin Shan said in a low voice, "Young Madam, I have overstepped my bounds. It's truly a matter that the thieves cannot explain themselves clearly, and we certainly cannot stay here any longer!"

He bent down and picked up Song Guanzhou in his arms.

Song Guanzhou let out a long breath, suppressing his anger, and whispered to Ren Dong, "Take our things with you, including my hairpin."

Her hair was pulled out, and a piece of her scalp was almost torn off, leaving her head full of pearl and flower jewelry scattered on the ground.

Honeysuckle wiped away her tears, "I obey!"
