Chapter 327: Perceiving Malice
Hearing this sound, Wen Mulan raised her head vigilantly, her body still standing as straight as a sword, maintaining a posture that could fight at any time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info head turned slightly, looking around.
I saw the sun hanging brightly overhead, turning the ground of the yard white, and the branches and leaves of the plane trees were also sunburned a little. Except for the occasional chirping of insects, the air was quiet, and a light breeze lifted the ends of her hair.
Maybe it's your own delusion? Just the wind blowing through the treetops?
Wen Mulan relaxed slightly, but her eyes were still staring at the only big tree in the courtyard that could hide people.
Nightshade slowed her breathing, leaning against the branches of the trees, swaying as the wind blew through the trees. Damn it! How could there be such a master by Miss Xu's side?
This discovery made him suspicious. According to the information she got from the prince, she was just a lowly merchant woman, how could such an elite female guard work for her? What the hell is she?
Fusing his aura with the sycamore tree, Night Shadow simply closed his eyes for fear of being discovered by the female guard at the door. With only internal force, you can feel the changes in the qi around you.
He had a thought in his heart, and the only difference was that Miss Xu had just become the righteous daughter of the Anguo Mansion not long ago. Could it be that the female guards sent by the Anguo Mansion gave it to her?
Nightshade himself doesn't believe this speculation.
Before serving the crown prince, he was the leader of the night group in the "White Nights" organization, and his assassination skills were unmatched. Ever since Lord White Night was captured and killed on the spot, he immediately broke away from the organization and went into hiding.
But the shadow guard's methods were really pervasive, and in the end he was forced out and fled in a hurry. With a single blow, he lost one of his left ears and left a scar on his face.
Fortunately, he finally escaped, and finally became the prince's dead soldier. With the blessing of the prince, he finally settled down and became the prince's number one henchman with his skills.
But even the prince never told him about his past, and the prince only thought that he was a person in the rivers and lakes who was hunted down and killed by the enemy.
Therefore, he was far more familiar with the situation in Jingli than the prince thought.
The Anguo Mansion has clamped its tail and been a man over the years, and it is extremely low-key, when did it have such an elite manpower? Even if there were, how could he risk being exposed and sent to a righteous woman who had just been recognized by the situation?
What does she have to protect? Is there any secret hidden in her?
The shadow of the night lurks in the canopy of trees, and the heart rises and falls. But, no matter what kind of secret she has, it doesn't matter anymore. The crown prince has given a kill order, and she is destined to die today.
It's just that there is some trouble right now. The prince's order was to "let her disappear silently", but if he wanted to enter, he couldn't go around the female guard at the door.
Her skills are only a step weaker than herself. If the two face off, he has great confidence that he can kill the other party, but he can't kill them with one blow.
Once a fight breaks out and alarms others, the mission ends in failure. As the former leader of the Night Group and now the number one dead soldier in the Prince's Mansion, Night Shadow will never allow this to happen, and it seems that he will have to find another way.
Xu Wanzhen woke up from her sleep, refreshed, and didn't know that she had brushed shoulders with death.
Sang Zi heard the noise, turned hot water into the room, and said with a smile: "Miss slept well?" ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded, and after rinsing her face, she felt hungry in her stomach and asked, "What time is it?" ”
"It's been a moment, miss."
Xu Wan was really taken aback: "I actually slept for so long?" You don't say call me up. ”
Sang Zi pursed his lips and smiled, "This is the order of the eldest young master, how dare the slave and maid disobey?" ”
After Xu Wanzhen finished dressing, Xu Wenmin's warm voice came from outside the door, and said, "Sister, can you get up?" ”
Sang Zi answered in the room, Xu Wenmin opened the curtain and came in, holding a bowl of sticky rice porridge in his hand, and said with a smile: "After sleeping for half a day, drink some porridge to warm your stomach." In a little while, we'll be back in town, before it gets dark. ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded, the eastern suburbs are located in a hill, although it is far from being as steep as the mountain, but the mountain road is narrow and rugged, and it is too unsafe to walk at night.
After running out of porridge, Qingmai helped Sang Zi pack up the baggage, and several people went out of the silk fan workshop.
Still the same as when they came, Xu Wanzhen, Wen Mulan, Sang Zi, and Qingmai walked to the carriage, Yu Xuemin sat on the wheel and prepared to catch the carriage, Xu Wenmin took the reins handed by the next person and turned over on the horse. The group was ready to go.
Nightshade crouched behind a pile of haystacks, revealing only a pair of eyes, observing the movements of the people at the door of the workshop.
Wen Mulan was the last to get into the car, as if sensing his malicious eyes, the movements of her hands paused, and the warning signs in her heart were born again.
Xu Wanzhen saw that she was delayed and asked, "Mulan, what's wrong?" ”
Wen Mulan's eyes glanced in the direction where the night shadow was lurking, and said in a loud voice: "It's nothing, miss." Then he got into the car neatly.
Nightshade exhaled softly, the guard's senses were so sharp that she was almost discovered by her.
When Wen Mulan also got into the car, Yu Xuemin asked, "Have you sat down?" ”
Sang Zi responded crisply, and Yu Xuemin held a change in his hand, and the sound of "driving, driving" in his mouth continued, and the carriage slowly drove away from the door of the workshop.
In the car, Wen Mulan lowered her voice very low and said, "Miss, since noon, I have noticed that someone is spying on us. ”
Sang Zi was startled, and was about to exhale softly, but Wen Mulan had already dodged and covered her mouth. Xu Wanzhen nodded slowly at Sang Zi, and only after her emotions settled down did Wen Mulan gently let go of her hand.
Although Qingmai is younger, she is an official maid and has received a strict education in rules and etiquette. Coupled with her calm personality, when she suddenly heard this kind of thing, she was able to stay calm except for her face being a little frightened.
Xu Wanzhen asked softly, "How did you find out?" ”
"A kind of martial arts practitioner's induction, although I haven't seen anyone, but his malice can't be concealed."
"Coming at me?"
Wen Mulan nodded lightly, the other party was indeed coming for Xu Wanzhen.
Sang Zi calmed down, took out a waist knife from his baggage, and handed it to Xu Wanzhen.
This waist knife looks so familiar, Xu Wanzhen took a closer look, it turned out to be at the peony flower meeting, the queen took out the color head for the name of the poem, the big food country waist knife that sharpened iron like clay.
Because of the persecution of the princess and the squeeze of Tang Yuanyao and others, he wrote two peony poems in a row and won the first place.
Later, Dr. Zhu came to say goodbye to Fan Bin in the name of giving this waist knife. It's just that this waist knife was kept by Sang Zi, and I didn't pay attention to it anymore, how could it appear here?
Reading the question mark in her eyes, Sang Zi said in a low voice: "Since the last time I went to the Peony Flower Fair, Miss Zhu was in distress, and Mrs. Zhu sent this waist knife again. We discussed in private, no matter when anyone followed the young lady out, they should bring this knife with them in their baggage. ”
said that it is a waist knife, but in fact, it is more like an arc-shaped dagger, which is very suitable for female dependents to hide. Because it is a tribute to the Great Food Country, there is also a sapphire on the scabbard for decoration.
Wen Mulan took the waist knife and gently pulled the knife out of its sheath, only to see that the blade was as bright as a pool of autumn water, flashing with a cold cold light.
She nodded slightly and said to Sang Zi: "Well done." ”
returned the knife to the sheath, handed the waist knife to Xu Wanzhen, and said, "Miss, hide the knife close to you, just in case." ”
