The emperor just doesn't treat everyone equally, and it's none of my business!

Lu Junze went out, and Gu Shijin had nothing else to do so he started walking around the house.

The house is very big and has a separate garden with various flowers planted in it. Now is the time when the flowers are in full bloom, with all kinds of colors blooming.

"I don't know how long I can stay here." Gu Shijin said in a low voice. If the time is long, he can pick some petals and dry them to make scented tea.

However, since Yunyang City was only a temporary stop, it would definitely not last long, and Gu Shijin quickly dismissed the idea of ​​drinking scented tea.

Lu Junze did not come back for lunch at noon, so Gu Shijin ate alone.

The meals are all specialties of Yunyang City, and it is obvious that Lu Junze had arranged them in advance.

I don’t know where Lu Junze is doing. I hope nothing happens to him.

Gu Shijin had nothing else to do alone, so after eating lunch and digesting it for a while, he went for a nap.

Some time ago, she was not as sleepy as when she first got pregnant, but recently she seemed to have become sleepy again and feels very sleepy every day.

……

"don't want……"

Amidst the flashing of swords and the rain of knives, a shining dagger stabbed towards Lu Junze. Just as it was about to hit him, a man in black stood in front of Lu Junze, and Gu Shijin breathed a sigh of relief.

These men in black were highly skilled in martial arts, had clear goals, and their moves were deadly. Lu Junze's men were outnumbered and soon showed signs of being defeated.

"Master, we will protect you and leave first." said the leader of the guards.

Lu Junze's expression flashed. He really didn't expect that the other party would send so many people to assassinate him so blatantly. He was just careless.

"Retreat." Lu Junze said.

It will take time for his reinforcements to arrive, so he definitely cannot waste any more time here.

"Protect the master and retreat." said the leader.

“Yes.” The guards responded in unison, surrounding Lu Junze in the middle.

Just when they were about to withdraw, a lot of men in black suddenly appeared from all directions, holding bows and arrows in their hands, and it was obvious that they were not prepared to confront Lu Junze and his men head-on.

“Hahaha, Lu Junze, you can’t get away today.” The leader of the men in black laughed crazily at Lu Junze, “Leave your life here.”

Lu Junze looked grim at his situation. His itinerary today was a secret, and he did not bring too many guards with him in order not to attract attention. He did not expect...

The head guard looked at the sudden appearance of assassins with a serious expression. With so many people...

"Master, what should we do now?" the leader of the guards asked in a low voice.

Lu Junze: “Take it off if you can.”

"Whose are you?" Lu Junze was not panicked, he looked at the man in black and asked.

“Lu Junze, do you think we are fools?” The leader of the men in black said, “If you escape and you know who we are, we will be dead.”

Lu Junze raised his eyebrows. This guy is not stupid. Even Gu Shijin next to him looked at the leader of the men in black in surprise. Usually, at this time, aren't the bad guys arrogant and want to show off? Why doesn't this guy play by the rules?

"It seems that you are not very confident in your plan." Lu Junze said to the leader in black.

The black-clad leader's face turned dark, but because he had his face covered no one could see it.

However, Gu Shijin felt that he must be in a bad mood right now.

The black-clad leader was in a bad mood, of course. It wasn’t because he was not confident, but because his confidence was broken by Lu Junze.

They sent so many people to assassinate Lu Junze before, but none of them returned alive. He must be careful now.

"Lu Junze, stop talking nonsense and don't think about delaying time. This is where you will be buried today." said the leader in black.

Lu Junze's expression gradually became serious. According to his inference, it would take about an incense stick of time for the reinforcements to arrive. If the other side did not have archers, they could hold on, but now with so many archers, it was hard to say.

"Even if I die, you must let me be a clear-headed ghost." Lu Junze continued.

The leader of the men in black looked at Lu Junze and sneered, “Haven’t you already guessed it?”

Lu Junze had indeed guessed before whether they were the Wise King’s men, but at this moment he was certain that these people were not the Wise King’s men. The Wise King’s men would not know of his appearance in Yunyang City so quickly and send so many masters.

So the murderer behind this is... on the boat.

"Lu Junze, don't delay any longer. I will send you to hell today." The leader of the men in black raised his hand, looked at Lu Junze and said, "Let him go!"

Suddenly, numerous arrows shot from all directions. Although Lu Junze was surrounded in the middle, as more and more guards around him were shot and fell, Lu Junze was also exposed to the archers' sight.

Gu Shijin couldn't help much and was a burden to Lu Junze and the others, so he just stood there anxiously.

Suddenly, Gu Shijin saw an arrow shooting towards Lu Junze quickly. Gu Shijin opened his eyes wide and hurriedly ran forward to block Lu Junze, but he didn't expect that the arrow still penetrated Gu Shijin's body and hit Lu Junze.

"No!" Gu Shijin suddenly woke up, sat up at once, sweating profusely.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" The maid guarding outside the door asked hurriedly when she heard the noise in the room.

"Nothing." Gu Shijin paused for a moment, then asked, "Is the master back?"

This dream was so real, as if it had happened before.

"Madam, the masters haven't come back yet." said the maid.

"Yeah." Gu Shijin relaxed himself and said, "Tell me as soon as the master comes back."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Please don't let anything happen." Gu Shijin prayed quietly.

Now Gu Shijin couldn't sleep anymore. He was covered in sweat after having a nightmare. Gu Shijin planned to go to the hot spring to take a bath and relax.

It was just a nightmare. I must have been too tense.

The situation on Lu Junze's side was really not much different from what Gu Shijin had dreamed of.

A few days ago, the secret guards found something near the city of Yunyang Prefecture. Lu Junze thought that this thing was very important so he came to investigate it in person. He said that he found out that the news had leaked out and he was surrounded here.

"Master, there are too many of them." The leader of the guards said while protecting Lu Junze.

"Just hold on for another half an incense stick of time, the reinforcements will be here soon." Lu Junze said seriously.

Lu Junze is good at martial arts, and with so many people protecting him, he is not injured at this moment.

The leader of the men in black watched Lu Junze and the others dealing with arrows, and stretched out his hand. A man in black holding a bow and arrow put it into the leader's hand.

The leader of the men in black was in a very hidden position at this time, and Lu Junze and others were concentrating on dealing with the arrows, so no one noticed his movements at all.

"Lu Junze, I will send you to hell today." The leader of the men in black drew his bow and shot an arrow at Lu Junze.
