She was so scared that she swallowed the candy, turned around and wanted to practice the punches and kicks she had learned from Yuan Xu in the past few days, but she saw that the person who spoke was Huang Jiuyuan.

He was dressed quite simply today, in a lake blue waisted robe, with a wide grin on his face, eyebrows raised, and slightly red eyes. His most alluring feature was his fox eyes; if he simply covered them up, he would be indistinguishable from the crowd.

Helan Xuenuo suddenly became interested and teased him, "Mr. Huang, are you planning to go to Yunxiang Pavilion to get drunk?"

Huang Jiuyuan wasn't annoyed. "I just saw Miss Xue Nuo running so fast, but did the Second Prince say anything scary?"

Helan Xuenuo had forgotten that Huang Jiuyuan would always go to Wenxiang Tower to drink some Wenxiang wine before returning to Yunxiang Pavilion. Huang Jiuyuan must have seen her talking to the Second Prince just now.

"I guess you have too much free time, so you're following me?"

Huang Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow and said with a sly smile, "My guess is pretty close. No wonder you pushed Shen Yinzhen to the Second Prince. I guess you were looking for someone to take the blame for you? Or... you're in love with me, so you want to find a match for Shen Yinzhen?"

Helan Xuenuo, "..."

"Then it seems that it is the latter. Do you like me?"

"Bah, I don't like you like this." Helan Xuenuo suddenly felt annoyed. Huang Jiuyuan was so thick-skinned, thicker than a city wall.

"Hahaha, aren't I joking with you? You can't take a joke like that? Since you don't like the Second Prince, why don't you marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion? I didn't think so before, but now that I see you're quite dignified and have some clever ideas, you'll definitely be able to take care of the backyard for me."

"Your dozen concubines?"

"Well, I can't say that. I'm only... the sixth wife. It's their blessing to be with me. Otherwise, it would be so difficult for a woman to end up in a brothel. Besides, I'm so handsome, even more handsome than Pan An. What girl in the capital doesn't want to marry into the prime minister's mansion? Today, I'll open the back door for you. Come to the prime minister's mansion and take the seat of the main wife."

"Pooh."

Helan Xuenuo became increasingly irritated by Huang Jiuyuan's words. This guy was talking nonsense. She turned around and snatched the hammer from the old man Malt Tang, trying to smash it at Huang Jiuyuan. Huang Jiuyuan dodged backwards, still smiling, and said, "Sister Xuenuo, isn't this a joke? Why are you still angry?"

Helan Xuenuo continued to swing the hammer in his direction. Huang Jiuyuan retreated. She pointed the hammer at Huang Jiuyuan and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I will hammer you to death. Get out of here now."

Huang Jiuyuan still looked nonchalant, "Okay... okay... let's talk about it another day... another day."

After he said that, he disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Zhu immediately snatched the hammer away, "Is that the playboy from the Xiangfu family? What a pity for his appearance."

Helan Xuenuo was just pretending to be angry. Huang Jiuyuan was notorious, and she didn't want to be confused with this idiot.

She looked at the direction where Huang Jiuyuan left and sighed, "He's good-looking, but it's a pity he's a fool. He's only been playing with me for a few years now, and there won't be time to play with me in the future."

"Girl, what does this mean?"

"You'll know later."

This was the second time Xiao Zhu heard Helan Xuenuo mention "later" to her. Xiao Zhu touched her head for a long time and didn't understand. After Helan Xuenuo said "Let's go," she stopped thinking about it. Otherwise, she would never be able to figure it out no matter how hard she tried.

After they finished buying cakes at Li Ji's cake shop, the general's carriage arrived. They got on the carriage and returned to Helan Mansion.

Yuan Xu did not come to the training ground today. He was deploying the guards of Yuan Mansion, worried that the assassin would catch him off guard.

Helan Xuenuo went to the training ground as usual to practice archery and horse riding. She was naturally intelligent and could read ten lines at a glance, so it was natural that she could learn things easily.

After she shot her last arrow, she lay down on the yellow wooden couch that Yuan Xu had brought over to rest. "I wonder where this guy got a couch from."

Tomorrow night is when the killer will strike again. She doesn't know whether Yuan Xu can catch the killer. She is also curious about who this female killer is, who can't be found even after searching the entire capital.

The next night, the female killer appeared on the rubble of the Yuan Mansion's gate, wearing a nightgown with only her eyes exposed. The female killer's eyes were sharp. She seemed to be familiar with the Yuan Mansion and went straight to Yuan Xu's room.

After bypassing two rounds of rotating palace guards, he successfully arrived outside Yuanxu Gate.

Seems easy.

The female killer pushed open Yuan Xu's door and stabbed Yuan Xu's bed with a sword. After stabbing, she sneered, "You didn't expect it? I will kill you all one by one in a moment!"

"I never thought you would be so bold."

Yuan Xu's voice sounded behind the female killer. He was leaning against the door frame, calmly and leisurely smoothing a strand of his hair.

The female killer realized that she had been tricked and her eyes showed obvious panic. She drew her sword and lifted the quilt. A pile of duck down flew out. Lying inside was not a person, but two pillows.

She turned around angrily and stabbed Yuan Xu with a sword. Yuan Xu dodged to the side, drew a sword from behind and started fighting with her.

Although she was very skilled in martial arts, she was no match for Yuan Xu. However, her moves were rather novel, so Yuan Xu was a little curious and deliberately did not kill her.

"Aren't you from Donglai?"

The female killer didn't say anything. While he was talking, she turned around and stabbed him with a sword. Yuan Xu dodged and she slipped through the gap and ran out of the yard.

Little did they know that the courtyard was surrounded by palace soldiers. The veteran general and his wife did not come, thinking that Yuan Xu could deal with such a petty thief, a petty thief who stole people's lives.

Knowing she had no way out, she turned around and started fighting with Yuan Xu, stabbing him in the vitals with every move. However, Yuan Xu was very skilled in martial arts and had been in actual combat on the battlefield for many years, so the assassin in front of him was no match for him.

However, this female assassin's recruitment was particularly novel. She fought with Yuan Xu for several rounds. Yuan Xu got tired of it and shot an arrow to cut open her left sleeve, revealing a black mark on her arm inside the sleeve. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the assassin used her sword to cut the mark into a pool of blood. She was really cruel to him.

This distracted Yuan Xu, and the female assassin seized the opportunity, took a palace soldier hostage, pointed a sword at Yuan Xu, and her eyes were as cold as an arrow.

The leading general was about to charge forward, but was stopped by Yuan Xu. Yuan Xu remained calm and asked, "How could you have known that I would let a dangerous person like you go just for a palace soldier?"

The female assassin remained silent, her eyes looking like she was gambling.

Yuan Xu stretched out his hand towards the archer, and the archer immediately handed the bow and arrow to him.

He drew his arrow and aimed at the assassin.

Seeing this, the female assassin pushed the palace soldier towards him, ran back, climbed up the wall and tried to escape.

Yuan Xu shot an arrow, she dodged it, and the arrow hit her palm.

This assassin was really tenacious and managed to flip out with just one arm.

"Chase."

Yuan Xu shouted, and the officers and soldiers rushed out.

He grabbed the palace soldier who had just been held hostage. The soldier gathered himself together and was about to run out. "I'm sorry, I was just trying to scare her. Everyone's life is important. I can't shoot that arrow."

The guard looked surprised and immediately saluted, saying, "I understand. It is my honor to be able to protect the young general. To catch the assassin, I will die."

"Okay, let's go."

Yuan Xu also followed after him.
