Chapter 214: One Hit, One Hit

As Yang Zhengshan approached the house in the center, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him.

Two postmen are talking in the gatehouse on the left, four postmen are sleeping in the room on the right, and there are six horses in the stable in front.

There were several breathing sounds in every room, and Yang Zhengshan could hear them clearly.

In fact, such a dark night is more beneficial to him. The darkness can block his vision but will not affect his hearing.

On the contrary, the quiet environment allowed his hearing to be utilized to its fullest potential.

If he was in a noisy environment, Yang Zhengshan would not be able to distinguish the sound of breathing at all.

A moment later, he quietly arrived behind the house in the center of the inn.

With his ear pressed against the cold wall, he listened carefully to everything in the room.

Three breathing sounds.

One voice was very gentle, probably because the person was sleeping, and the other two were very faint.

Weak does not mean that these two people are weak, but it means that these two people are controlling their breathing and breathing steadily and slowly.

Yang Zhengshan was not unfamiliar with this situation. Only warriors above the fifth level of the acquired realm could control their breathing in this way.

In fact, this is a breathing method. It is not a magical ability. It is just a way for post-natal warriors to rest.

When unable to sleep, a post-natal martial artist can control his breathing to put his body into a state similar to hibernation.

In this state, the body can get enough rest, the mind can relieve fatigue, and at the same time maintain a certain degree of vigilance to the surrounding environment.

However, under normal circumstances, only those who have reached the fifth level of acquired cultivation can understand this way of rest.

In other words, in addition to Su Shanyu, there were two other warriors above the fifth level of the acquired realm in the room.

In this situation, it is almost impossible to sneak in quietly, so you can only force your way in.

Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment and slowly moved his body to the window at the back of the house.

Looking at the sealed carved wooden window, Yang Zhengshan grasped two daggers in one hand and clenched a fist with the other, and suddenly attacked.

With a bang, the carved wooden window shattered instantly.

Yang Zhengshan jumped into the window like a civet cat in an instant.

The sudden loud noise immediately woke up the three people in the room.

Su Shanyu woke up from his sleep, still in a daze and didn't react at all.

However, his two followers had already reacted. The moment Yang Zhengshan entered the house, they suddenly opened their eyes, drew out their long swords and rushed towards Yang Zhengshan.

But before they could get close to Yang Zhengshan, two daggers suddenly flew towards him.

Under the flickering candlelight, the silver-white sword edge flickered.

One of them reacted quickly and dodged the incoming dagger by leaning sideways, but the other was not so lucky. The foot-long dagger went straight into his throat.

Two years was enough time for Yang Zhengshan to master the Thousand Machine Hands to perfection.

With the Thousand Hands combined with his strength and eyesight, it would definitely hit the target every time and it would be extremely powerful.

Now, a martial artist at the fifth level of the acquired realm is nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of him and is not worth mentioning at all.

However, his target was not the two followers, but Su Shanyu who was lying on the bed.

At this time, Su Shanyu finally came to his senses. He suddenly sat up from the bed and reached for the long sword beside him.

Unfortunately it's too late!

In just a breath, Yang Zhengshan had arrived in front of the bed.

The candlelight was dim, and Yang Zhengshan was like a ghost. Before Su Shanyu could even see his figure, he felt as if his throat was being strangled by an iron clamp.

"You~~"

Su Shanyu wanted to say something else.

But what answered him was the crisp sound of broken bones.

Click!

"Second Master!"

The remaining follower apparently heard the crisp sound of breaking bones and immediately shouted urgently.

After breaking Su Shanyu's neck, Yang Zhengshan flashed and jumped out of the window like a ghost.

The whole process, from breaking the carved wooden window to jumping out of the house, took only two or three breaths. In fact, Yang Zhengshan did not do much. He entered the house, threw out two daggers, and then came to the bed and broke Su Shanyu's neck.

The process is so simple and so fast.

When he left the post station, Su Shanyu's other followers and postmen had not yet reacted.

Only the attendant in the room stood in front of the bed, looking at Su Shanyu with a broken neck with fear on his face.

"Second Master!"

He called out in a low voice, reaching out to help Su Shanyu up, but he didn't dare.

It was not until the other followers rushed in that he stepped forward and gently straightened Su Shanyu's head.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan had already left the post station and came to a hillside not far away, riding away on Hongyun.

This time he is not a killer on the battlefield, but an assassin.

An assassin who kills one person every ten steps and leaves no trace in a thousand miles.

This was Yang Zhengshan’s first assassination attempt. To be honest, he was not very good at assassination, but has he seen a pig run even before he has eaten pork?
To assassinate someone, one strike must hit the target, and then the target must be evaded thousands of miles away.

He has only one goal, and the rest is irrelevant.

So after breaking Su Shanyu's neck, he left Panshan Post Station without hesitation and returned to Chongshan Pass without hesitation. After another night of rapid travel, when he returned to Chongshan Pass, it was just dawn and the city gates were not open yet.

Yang Zhengshan waited for more than half an hour on a small mound not far from the official road before the city gate opened. However, he did not enter the city immediately. Instead, he waited until people on the official road entered the city one after another, and then he entered the city with the passers-by.

"I'm back. Nothing happened, right?"

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Yu Qingyi couldn't help but ask.

Yang Zhengshan was going to kill Su Shanyu, so of course Yu Qingyi couldn't hide it from him.

"No accident!" Yang Zhengshan took off his fur coat and said with a faint smile.

"Is the person dead?" Yu Qingyi asked as she helped him take off his tights.

"Why, you don't have confidence in your husband?" Yang Zhengshan asked with a smile.

Yu Qingyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm afraid that you might end up getting hurt instead of killing the snake!"

She had no objection to Yang Zhengshan killing people. After all, she used to be a gangster and liked to use force to solve problems.

Yang Zhengshan changed into a loose Confucian robe and leaned lazily on the couch. "If Su Shanyu dies, the Marquis of Jingyuan will definitely not let it go!"

"I just don't know what method they will use next!"

Yu Qingyi thought thoughtfully, "As long as they don't have evidence to prove that it was the master who did it, then they can't bring the master to court."

"That's right!" Yang Zhengshan nodded in agreement. "They have only two methods. One is to suppress me in the officialdom, and the other is to murder me in secret!"

“It will be difficult for them to carry out suppression in the official circles, after all, this is a mountainous town.”

"So~~"

Yang Zhengshan reached out and pulled Yu Qingyi into his arms, "So you should be more careful in the future. Bring more people with you when you go out."

He was not afraid that the Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion would attack him, but he was afraid that the Jingyuan Marquis' Mansion would target Yu Qingyi and others.

Yu Qingyi leaned on his chest, "It's nothing for me. After all, I seldom go out. Mingcheng and the others should be more careful!"

"Especially Mingzhi. Mingzhi is in Jianning Guard and we can't take care of him."

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

The world is dangerous, but the officialdom has even fewer bottom lines.

If the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion goes crazy because of this, the methods they use will definitely be extremely brutal.

Yang Zhengshan pondered for a moment and said, "I'll write a letter to General Zhou right away!"

Everyone else was in Anyuan City, so he could take care of them, except for Yang Mingzhi, so he could only ask Zhou Lan for help.

Then he got up and wrote a letter to Zhou Lan.

Of course, he did not say that he killed Su Shanyu, he just said that he had offended the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion might use insidious means to deal with him and his family.

After sending someone to deliver the letter, Yang Zhengshan asked about Yang Yunxue.

"Does Yunxue have any objection to the marriage?"

Yu Qingyi thought of Yang Yunxue and Liang Jinyan, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, "She just dislikes Liang Jinyan's strength is too weak."

Yang Zhengshan felt somewhat helpless about this.

It is almost impossible to find someone better than Yang Yunxue among peers.

Anyway, he had never heard of anyone who could reach the level of refining energy at the age of fifteen.

"It doesn't matter if he has weak strength. If he really can't do it, I can teach him for a few years. I believe he can become a martial arts master in the future!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Of course, the advice he gave was just a cover-up; the real key was the spiritual spring water.

With Mr. Liang San's talent, if he is nourished with spiritual spring water for two or three years and his potential is stimulated, the future is still worth looking forward to.

However, it is almost impossible for him to surpass Yang Yunxue.

After all, Yang Yunxue is his biological daughter, and Yang Zhengshan will not treat his biological daughter badly.

"Well, there shouldn't be anything else. Yunxue is quite satisfied with the third young master Liang!" Yu Qingyi recalled the meeting between Yang Yunxue and Liang Jinyan yesterday, and said after careful consideration.

After Yang Zhengshan left the city yesterday, they went to the Marquis' Mansion again, and Yang Yunxue and Liang Jinyan had contact for a long time.

In fact, Yang Yunxue had no ill feelings towards Liang Jinyan. The only thing she disliked was that Liang Jinyan was too weak.

However, when it comes to marriage, the level of cultivation and the strength of one's ability are not the most important criteria for evaluation.

At the very least Liang Jinyan's character is still very good. He was born in a marquis's mansion but he is not arrogant at all. He enjoys wealth but he is not spoiled at all. His personality is as gentle as jade, and he is good at both literature and martial arts.

To say that his cultivation is low and his strength is weak, that also depends on who he is compared with.

Compared with most of the children of nobles, Liang Jinyan is actually not weak.

"Then you can ask Yunxue later. If she is willing, we will go back first!"

The marriage between the two can basically be settled, but before confirming it, Yang Zhengshan still has to meet the third son of Liang in person.

However, if he wants to meet the Third Master Liang, he cannot go to the Marquis' Mansion. He should let the Third Master Liang go to Anyuan City to meet him.

"Okay!" Yu Qingyi responded.

In the morning, Yang Zhengshan rested for more than an hour. At noon, Yu Qingyi asked Yang Yunxue for his opinion.

Yang Yunxue blushed and hesitated for a while, and finally said, "It's all up to my father and mother!"

After all, she is still a little girl and is shy to talk about her marriage.

But her words were already very clear, basically she agreed to the marriage.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi looked at each other, smiled and said nothing more.
