The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

Chapter 34 Temple Assassination

Su Lun did not sleep well. In his dream, he was being chased and he was running for his life. He kept running and dodging in his sleep, but he could not get rid of the figure of the pursuer. Sweat soaked his clothes, making him feel extremely hot and tired.

Finally, Su Lun woke up from the nightmare with sweat all over his forehead. He was panting rapidly, his heart was beating like a drum, and his body was still filled with the tension and fear from the dream. When he opened his eyes, he found himself still in that simple temple.

At this time, it was still dark, with only a faint moonlight shining through the window. Su Lun squinted his eyes slightly, trying to adapt to the dim environment. After a long while, his vision gradually became clear, and he saw Xiao Yu and another elite from the General's Mansion standing guard not far away.

Su Lun tiptoed to Xiao Yu's side and asked in a low voice, "Commander Xiao, what time is it now?"

Xiao Yu looked up at the sky and replied, "It's Yin time."

Su Lun calculated the time silently in his mind and realized that it was about three or four in the morning, when people were most sleepy. His eyelids twitched involuntarily, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Xiao Yu seemed to sense some strange atmosphere, and his expression looked a little solemn and uneasy. He frowned and said to Su Lun, "Mr. Su, the situation here is unclear. I always feel that something is not right. Can you please wait here for a while while I go to the front to check."

Su Lun understood Xiao Yu's concerns. He immediately nodded in agreement and comforted him, "Don't worry, Commander Xiao. I'll be here to watch over you. There won't be any problems."

Xiao Yu looked at Su Lun gratefully, and after a few jumps, he arrived outside the temple. He stood there quietly, listening attentively to the movements around him. There seemed to be some subtle sounds coming from the front, as if something was approaching.

Xiao Yu frowned and focused on the darkness ahead. His eyes were sharp and alert, not missing any suspicious signs. However, the sound was vague, making it difficult to determine its exact source. Xiao Yu couldn't help but wonder what was making such a sound? Was it an enemy attack? Or some other danger?

He decided to take a few more steps forward to better investigate the situation. He took every step carefully, fearing that any noise would attract the other party's attention. As he approached, the sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was somewhere not far away... There were people approaching, and from the sound it seemed that there were quite a few people.

Xiao Yu hurriedly withdrew his body and woke up the people around him. He reported nervously: "Your Highness, it seems that there are assassins attacking. The exact number is not clear yet, but it must be a lot."

Xie Tianlin's face became solemn, and he ordered in a low voice: "Everyone be on alert and prepare to fight. This time we must capture the enemy alive. Also, notify the abbot not to go out to avoid accidental injuries."

Everyone moved upon hearing the sound, quickly stood up, organized their equipment, and held their weapons tightly. Xiao An Ning held a long whip and stood solemnly beside Xiao Anya, like an indestructible fortress.

At the same time, Xie Tianlin and the elites of the General's Mansion also began to fiddle with their bows and arrows. At this moment, the sky had not yet broken and the vision was blurry. For ordinary people, it was almost impossible to hit the target with a bow and arrow under such conditions. However, these warriors who had been on the battlefield for a long time were extraordinary. Even in the dark, they could still judge the direction with their keen hearing and hit the target accurately.

Su Lun, who was watching everyone's actions, could not help but feel envious. He secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance, he must learn this unique skill.

Su Lun stroked the slingshot quietly, thinking to himself. His technique was becoming more and more skillful and accurate, but after all, its lethality was limited. However, it was a good choice to use it as a hidden weapon for sneak attacks. He held the dagger tightly in his right hand. Compared with the long sword, he actually preferred the dagger. After all, he was not at an advantage in terms of physical strength, and the dagger was small and sharp, which could better play its advantages in close combat.

At this moment, everyone was on high alert, each finding a suitable position and hiding under the cover of the moonlight. A thrilling battle was about to break out.

Suddenly, a large group of people dressed in black quietly poured into the temple, obviously intending to launch a surprise attack before dawn. However, they were completely unaware that their tracks had already been exposed, and they were just waiting for them to fall into the trap. Su Lun stared at it intently. This time, the other party seemed to have made a huge effort. With such a formation, there must be at least a hundred people. This place is not far from the capital, and the enemy dared to be so bold!

Su Lun cast his eyes towards where Xie Tianlin was, and saw the Crown Prince sitting steadily in front of him, holding a bow and arrow, looking calm, as if everything was under control. Su Lun couldn't help but feel puzzled, but seeing the Crown Prince so calm, he felt a little relieved.

A moment later, when the group of people in black entered the temple, they planned to launch a surprise attack, but they did not expect that they would be plotted against and fall into a dilemma. Arrows from all directions were shot at the black-clad people like raindrops. In the blink of an eye, forty or fifty black-clad people fell down. Such a strong fighting power made Su Lun yearn for it.

At this time, the group of black-clad men also realized that they had fallen into a trap. Compared with the enemies they had encountered before, this group of black-clad men was obviously more well-trained. They quickly regained their composure and began to reorganize. Despite the heavy losses, they still had more than a hundred people left.

Xie Tianlin's expression was also solemn at this moment. He had never expected that the opponent would send so many people this time. It seemed that the opponent was determined to take his life at all costs. A cold light flashed in his eyes. At this time, the sky was slightly bright. With the help of the weak light, Xie Tianlin shot every arrow with great accuracy. Wherever the arrow tip reached, blood would splash.

Although everyone on Xie Tianlin's side had rich combat experience and outstanding strength, they gradually felt powerless in the face of the siege of a large number of enemies. Not long after, some men in black successfully broke through and approached the temple.

Seeing this, Su Lun stepped forward without hesitation, regardless of his wounds, and resolutely joined the battle. His moves were fierce and precise, and each strike was full of power, which was no less than that of the elite soldiers in the general's mansion. The dagger in his hand was as fast as lightning, and blood would splash wherever it passed, showing a momentum of one man standing against ten thousand men. No one could imagine that this brave man was actually a wounded soldier, and he had practiced martial arts for less than two months.

Xiao Anning, who was standing at the back, could not help but stare in amazement. She realized that she had underestimated Su Lun before. Seeing how brave and fearless he was, she knew she was no match for him. Thinking back to the time when she had always wanted to learn martial arts from this person, she now realized that she was really overestimating herself. Thinking that such a powerful person might join her father in the future, Xiao Anning was filled with anticipation. Perhaps she would have a chance to learn a few moves from him...

Just thinking that Su Lun had not recovered yet, she couldn't help but feel worried. She wanted to go forward to help, but she was afraid that if she left, her sister would be in danger... For a moment, An Ning was in a dilemma.

"An Ning, calm down first and wait and see what happens. If Mr. Su really can't hold on, it won't be too late for you to go up and help." Xiao Anya patted her sister's shoulder gently and comforted her gently.

At the same time, Xie Tianlin had already noticed the situation here. A trace of relief and relief flashed in his eyes. Su Lun did not disappoint him! He could clearly feel that after each battle, this young man would make some progress. Although Su Lun had shown extraordinary strength when they first met, he still seemed a little immature at that time, and even vomited because of the bloody scene he witnessed for the first time. However, after only a few days, he had quickly grown into an excellent fighter. Even an excellent person like Xie Tianlin had to look at him differently.

In an instant, shouts and screams rang out outside the temple, resounding through the sky and deafening! Su Lun stood firmly at the entrance of the temple like an indestructible fortress, his eyes were firm and sharp, and the dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, which made people shudder. The enemy surged like a tide, but could not break through his airtight defense line.

At the same time, Xie Tianlin and the Xiao sisters stood in the Buddhist hall, their expressions serious and nervous. Xie Tianlin held the long sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time. The whole scene was extremely tense, and both sides did not dare to relax at all, forming a delicate stalemate.
