"Master Deng is here?"

Guan Ning asked casually, but his hands did not stop, still rummaging for something on the messy table.

"What are you looking for?"

Deng Qiu asked, but he had already pinched a dart in his hand hidden in his sleeve, which was a willow leaf dart.

It was already Yin time, and it was quiet outside at this time. There were only guards at the entrance of the courtyard. In the dark environment, no one noticed his arrival.

He wanted to kill Guan Ning quickly and then leave. It was a bit risky, but he could only gamble.

No one would doubt him. He was a civil servant. This is something everyone knows...

Therefore, there should be no unnecessary nonsense and we should be decisive and straightforward.

"There is still one key piece of evidence that will prove the murderer once found. It feels like it is right here in Wanlangzhong."

Guan Ning said doubtfully: "But I can't find it."

"Is it a note book?"

Guan Ning raised his head in astonishment.

"Don't get me wrong, I already checked it before you came here."

Deng Qiu said: "Wan Zhengye has the habit of remembering things, and everyone in the Ministry of War knows..."

"It seems that Master Deng knows a lot."

Guan Ning was wary.

He felt that Deng Qiu was about to take action, otherwise he would not have said this.

"I also know that you can't find it."

"Why?"

Guan Ning raised his head.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Deng Qiu raised his right hand and shot a willow dart directly towards Guan Ning.

"Because, you are going to die."

He murmured.

He was at the door, and Guan Ning was behind the table. With such a close distance, he was fully confident that the killing of Wan Zhengye that day was the same scene.

And he deliberately missed a sentence, and while Guan Ning was stunned, he suddenly took action...

Therefore, he will kill with one strike!

A strong sense of crisis permeated his whole body. Guan Ning tilted his head subconsciously. The willow leaf dart that was originally going to penetrate the center of his neck scraped past the left side of his neck, causing a trace of pain that made his skin crawl instantly.

Guan Ning felt terrified in her heart.

Since he practiced the mysterious secrets and absorbed the resentment of others to strengthen himself, his strength has increased and his reflexes have also been greatly improved.

Even when Mo Xuan tested him with a bookmark that day, he caught it, but he almost didn't dodge the dart.

Just a little bit away, he might be dead!

Deng Qiu is a master!

He hid it too deeply.

"you……"

Deng Qiu looked shocked, he missed?

In that case, Guan Ning still avoided it?

luck?

Or is he also hiding his martial arts skills?

Before he had time to think about it, Deng Qiu's heart sank to the bottom.

One blow missed, Guan Ning was not dead, he was already exposed!

But he did not panic. In this case, he wanted to kill Guan Ning, so that he could die a worthy death.

Another dart appeared in his hand.

He only brought two.

This is the last one.

But Guan Ning didn't give him a chance at all. At this moment, he squatted down and hid behind the table.

He seriously underestimated Deng Qiu's strength, and this temptation almost killed him...

"you……"

"Whoosh, whoosh."

At this moment, several extremely weak voices sounded from behind, and Deng Qiu's expression changed drastically.

"Did you deliberately arrange for an ambush?"

It was only at this moment that he realized that Guan Ning had used herself as bait, letting him assassinate him and luring him to the bait.

It's too late to say it, but it's soon.

Deng Qiu stood up and jumped towards Guan Ning.

He must kill Guan Ning!

At this time, Guan Ning reacted very quickly. He grabbed the lower edge of the table with both hands, and with a sudden force, he lifted the table up and hit Deng Qiu who was coming towards him.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

There was a chaotic sound, and Deng Qiu was hit hard.

The sound of dense footsteps sounded in the courtyard. Deng Qiu's face turned extremely ugly, but the murderous intent in his eyes was even worse!

He took a few steps back and was about to continue attacking when he felt a slight sting on his back and soon it was hard to regain any strength in his body.

"Cartilage needle!"

He looked at Guan Ning, who was very close at hand, with deep reluctance in his eyes.

He lost the opportunity after he didn't succeed the first time...

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

Mo Xuan had already rushed in and looked at Guan Ning who was slumped on the ground, looking anxious because there was blood on Guan Ning's neck.

"I'm fine, my neck was scratched by the dart."

Guan Ning took a long breath. Although it was short, it was really dangerous.

If he hadn't reacted quickly and lifted the table to block Deng Qiu, he would have been dead at this moment, or even worse, he would have become Deng Qiu's hostage.

"What's going on with him?"

Guan Ning looked at Deng Qiu half a meter away. He didn't know what happened and couldn't move.

"He was hit by a cartilage needle and is no longer a threat for the time being."

"Cartilage needle?"

Mo Xuan explained: "This is a poisonous needle used by Duwusi to deal with warriors. The cartilage needle can make people temporarily lose their strength."

"Then why don't you control him quickly?"

Mo Xuan looked at Guan Ning and went over to catch Deng Qiu. He quickly became like Le Chengren.

At this time, several warriors came in from outside.

The situation has been brought under control.

It seems short-lived, but in fact it is extremely dangerous.

"What's going on?"

"what happened?"

There was a sound outside.

Guan Ning then stood up, touched his neck, and wiped the blood from his hand.

He was just a little short of falling down.

"Cover it with this."

Mo Xuan handed him a delicate handkerchief with a delicate fragrance and a pavilion embroidered on it.

"Thanks."

Guan Ning covered it with one hand and came to Deng Qiu.
