After several people drank the wine in the bowl, the matter was almost settled.

Gu Dingyu returned to his room, Qian and Wang cleaned up the dishes, Yang Laosan also helped clean up, and Yuan Songlin went home to take care of his wife and children.

There was not much drinking, and no one was drunk. After Yuan Songlin returned home, he acted like a normal person, boiling medicine for his wife, heating hot water, putting the two girls to sleep, and then went back to his room to be with his wife and children.

The sky was once again covered with a layer of ink, and there were no stars.

In late autumn, the cold wind can blow into the bones, making people so cold that they can't help but wrap up their clothes and their teeth chatter. However, after the autumn harvest, there is basically no farm work, and most of the people in Guxi Village have already rested. , only the noisy barking of dogs and the whisper of women could be heard from time to time.

The three families at the east end of the village have been accustomed to having enough food and clothing. Under the joyful and warm atmosphere, no one has ever felt cold or uncomfortable, and everyone subconsciously feels a happy sense of relaxation.

The night is quiet and peaceful.

However, whether it is truly peaceful is not determined by one person or one thing.

In a small forest not far from the east end of the village, as the cold wind caused the branches to sway, there was a rustling sound, and five or six masked men were gathering together to plot an assassination plan.

They did not expect that there would be shadow guards in the dark beside a mere country doctor. They could not attack fiercely, so they could only retreat here, discuss countermeasures, and wait for an opportunity to make another move.

The shadow guards lying in ambush nearby have long noticed the unusual movement here, and have secretly launched operations under the instructions of Bai Yu and Bai Rong to surround them, not only to alert the snake, but also to wait for the turtle to be caught in the urn.

The masked men were still plotting their plans and did not notice a white shadow sitting on the leafiest tree in the grove, observing their actions with great interest.

He held a red apple in his hand and took a bite. It was crisp and refreshing, sweet and sour, and juicy.

He just lay lazily on his side on the branch, tasting the apple in his hand, his eyes half-open and half-closed, and the unfamiliar tone of the masked man's voice lingered in his ears.

"Whoa!"

A dart struck, and Lan Ze finally opened his eyes. With a slight turn of his wrist, he caught the dart between his two fingers.

He shrugged, a mocking smile on his lips.

A bunch of useless guys, he only discovered his existence after he almost finished eating the apples!

The masked man looked at Lan Ze as if he were facing a formidable enemy. The man in front of them had unfathomable internal power. He was ambushing around them without anyone noticing, which showed how profound his skill was.

The six people looked at each other, ready to attack in unison, and suddenly launched an offensive towards Lan Ze.

Lan Ze threw away the apple core in his hand and took out the folding fan from his waist. With a twist of luck, six flying knives flew from the folding fan to the masked man at the same time.

The masked men were startled. Some people dodged the blow, while three others couldn't avoid it and groaned.

Seeing that they could not get close to Lan Ze, the six people exchanged glances and used another method to capture the man. While they were dealing with each other, two or three men in black rushed out from the darkness to help Lan Ze.

Something bad happened. Six people took out a small ball from their arms and smashed it to the ground at the same time. A burst of thick and pungent white smoke rose up, and their vision was completely blurred. When the smoke dissipated, the six people were no longer visible. .

Bai Jade and Bai Rong were about to pursue them when Lan Ze stopped them, the folding fan in his hand shaking slightly.

"No need to chase. If you can't catch me, just go back and report to your master."

Lan Ze spoke lazily, but Bai Yu and Bai Rong were still a little unwilling.

"Sir, letting them go so easily is like letting the tiger go home!"

Lan Ze chuckled lightly, patted Bai Rong's shoulder, and comforted: "They are aliens and are the best at escaping. At this moment, I am afraid they have already fled back to their lair. Where can I find them?"

"The brothers guarding the perimeter can't intercept it. Just make sure there are no casualties and strengthen the vigilance. They were frightened this time and they probably won't come back in a short time."

After saying that, Lan Ze stretched out, still yawning, and disappeared in a flash.

These aliens who appear out of nowhere are really boring. It would be more comfortable to go back to sleep!

That night, before Gu Dingyu could rest, he heard a slight knock on the window edge.

"Come in."

Bai Yu Bai Rong climbed through the window one after another and found that Lan Ze was already drinking tea in the room.

They knelt on one knee and saluted: "Master."

"Well, get up and talk."

"yes."

"Master, those masked men were not sent by the capital to carry out the assassination. It is unclear who specifically ordered them."

"Well, if you don't know anything, there's no need to check. Strengthen the surrounding vigilance and make sure to ensure Gu Yao's safety."

"yes."

Bai Yu Bai Rong accepted the order and retreated.

"If the assassination is not from the capital, then who could it be?"

Gu Dingyu murmured to himself, and Lanze raised his head after realizing it and said jokingly: "It's Lao Gu that you have provoked some enemy that you shouldn't have provoked, and they are here to seek revenge!"

Gu Dingyu snorted: "I in Guihun Valley only treat patients and save people, who can I make enemies with? I have lived here for eight years. If I really have enemies, why did I come here now?"

"Then I have to ask you, could it be that I deceived some girl's heart and let her down? The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she might as well just buy the murderer."

After saying that, Lan Ze rolled his eyes at Gu Dingyu and decided in his heart that this man was just a playboy. He would have to watch his fairy-like cousin more closely in the future to avoid falling for this playboy!

Gu Dingyu felt that his hands were itchy, as if he had a big penis, and he was too lazy to argue with him.

"It's not an assassin from the capital, nor is it a vendetta, nor is it a love killing. Could it be that there is a problem with your business with the aliens in Guihun Valley, and they come to deal with you as the owner of the valley, and then want to take possession of Guihun Valley?"

Gu Dingyu frowned, this reason was too far-fetched.

Once his identity comes out of the valley, he will conceal it very well. If it is not exposed, people in the valley may not be able to find him, let alone a business partner.

"That's not the case, and that's not the case. How come they came here for no reason? I just observed their assassination plan in the woods. It was obviously premeditated, which means they came here specifically to assassinate, not a temporary act.

"

Gu Dingyu still didn't speak. He knew what Lan Ze said, so he was curious about who wanted their lives?

Or, whose life do you want?

"By the way, you just said that an assassin might come back from the capital. Who should you assassinate?"

He has known Gu Dingyu's identity since he was a child, but the identities of his two adopted sons are quite curious.

Lan Ze thought about it and figured out that it should be Gu Yao who had leg problems. Old Gu just mentioned it carefully to the secret guard. If he could be involved in the capital, he must be a member of the royal family, right?

Gu Dingyu said angrily: "Don't ask nonsense, curiosity killed the cat, you don't care who he is, anyway, he is my adopted son and your apprentice now, nothing more."

"Well, well, I know you old guy won't tell me even if I ask, so I won't ask anymore and go back to sleep!"
