Chapter 31: Familiar Aromas
The night was getting deeper, the insects were chirping, Lan Ruoya looked at Lu Yuanzheng's room intently, and Chen Ming and the others in the courtyard were also sleepy and stuck to their posts, wanting to complete the tasks assigned by Lu Zhiyao, and when Lu Zhiyao came back, he could take them to the Eight Emperors' Mansion.
Lu Zhi is far away from them, hiding in an inconspicuous dark place. Looking at the stars in the sky, guessing the time when Nangong Nuo'er might appear, touching the weapon on his waist, his heart was beating a little too fast.
When was the last time you fought Nangong Nuoer? Lu Zhiyao thought about it hard, but his memory was a little blurry.
Is it because of Lin Yixiang? Or is it because of something else?
Lu Zhiyao frowned, sighed weakly and gave up thinking about it. She did everything she had to do, but she didn't know if that person would show up tonight.
Time passed in the nervous waiting of Lan Ruoya and the others, and it was almost dawn when it was almost dawn, but no one appeared. Sleepiness came over everyone, and everyone was a little listless, thinking that the enemy might not come. So when Nangong Nuo'er attacked with the power of thunder, Lan Ruoya was even stunned for a moment, before rushing out of the courtyard and saving the few men in the courtyard who were fleeing in all directions, their faces were white with fright, and they screamed for help.
Unlike Lan Ruoyan and the others, Nangong Nuo'er came over after eating and drinking enough at home and sleeping well. Lan Ruoya would come to stop herself was expected by Nangong Nuo'er, she knew that during this time, Lan Ruoya had been staying in the Prime Minister's Mansion like a dog, for fear that Lu Yuanzheng would have three long and two short. Nangong Nuo'er also had a good impression of Lan Ruoya, after all, it is not easy for a woman to achieve Lan Ruoya's level. It's a pity that this person is on the opposite side of her, doing something she doesn't like and helping someone she doesn't like. So when Nangong Nuo'er started with Lan Ruoya, she was a little regretful.
The long sword in Lan Ruoya's hand was hit by Nangong Nuo'er and made a sharp sound, Nangong Nuo'er's strength was a little beyond Lan Ruoyan's imagination, she took a few steps back, and it was only after she could be regarded as blocking Nangong Nuo'er's attack. The sound of the two fighting woke up Lu Yuanzheng in the house, and he sneaked through the crack in the window to look outside, and he didn't dare to gasp in fright.
Nangong Nuo'er was vicious, and every move was either stabbed at Lan Ruoya's chest, or swung towards her neck. Lan Ruoya was a little annoyed when she was forced, although she knew the true identity of the masked man in front of her, but if she really hurt Nangong Nuo'er, it would not be easy to handle things in the future.
Just when Lan Ruoya was struggling with whether to be ruthless to Nangong Nuo'er, the person she had been waiting for finally appeared.
Lan Ruoya only felt a tightness around her waist, and then the whole person was dragged backwards by a force, and her body rose into the air, away from Nangong Nuo'er's attack range. Looking at it again, someone had already stood in the place just now in place of him, holding a long whip in his hand, and Nangong Nuo'er was fighting together.
Lan Ruoya heard the words that Lu Zhiyao said when she just met her eyes, and she asked her not to make a move.
Nangong Nuo'er was very dissatisfied with this sudden uninvited guest, especially after seeing a smile in her eyes, she felt even more flattened.
Lu Zhiyao is different from Lan Ruoya, she doesn't have the slightest desire to show mercy to Nangong Nuo'er.
"The Prime Minister's head is valuable, and he can let the eldest lady of the dignified Nangong family take it personally, tsk."
At the moment when Lu Zhiyao and Nangong Nuo'er got closer, he said with a smile in his voice. His eyes were like a crescent moon in the sky, clear and bright, with a little sly smile. When Nangong Nuo'er heard her say this, the murderous aura on her body became even more obvious, she snorted coldly, and did not give Lu Zhiyao any verbal response, but directly showed her determination to kill Lu Zhiyao with her actions.
Lu Zhiyao dodged the sword in Nangong Nuo'er's hand left and right, Nangong Nuo'er has always been ruthless, and no one is sure whether there is poison on the sword. Widening the distance between her and Nangong Nuo'er, Lu Zhiyao used the long whip in her hand to restrain her movements. Nangong Nuo'er couldn't get close, and the sword in his hand was useless. After a few moves, Nangong Nuo'er was furious, and suddenly when the whip hit her again, she didn't dodge, but directly took it with her hand, and the moment the whip hit her arm, Nangong Nuo'er bit her lower lip and snorted. But she also seized the opportunity of this moment, quickly wrapped the whip around her arm a few times, and after fixing the whip so that Lu Zhiyao could no longer swing it, she sneered and swung her sword to attack Lu Zhiyao, who had no weapons.
Lu Zhiyao could only turn around and flee if he wanted to save his life, and was forced to the window by Nangong Nuo'er, between the lightning and flint, if Lu Zhiyao's head was slightly off by an inch, he would be pierced by Nangong Nuo'er's sword. The sword body penetrated the window, making Lu Yuanzheng, who was hiding in the house and watching the battle situation, cry out in fright, he was full of frightened voices, and the corners of Nangong Nuo'er's mouth curled up with satisfaction. wanted to take this opportunity to kill Lu Zhiyao, but Nangong Nuo'er didn't expect that Lu Zhiyao would despicably use a secret weapon.
The distance between Lu Zhiyao and Nangong Nuo'er was only two steps away, and she leaned against the wall in a weak posture, but her face was not at all the expression that a person who was about to die should have.
"This is the moment I was waiting for." Lu Zhiyao opened his mouth in a clear voice and said when Nangong Nuo'er's sword had already stabbed over. The hand hidden in the cuff quickly stretched out to Nangong Nuo'er's abdomen, Nangong Nuo'er was led by her movements and hurriedly looked down, after seeing what she was holding in her hand, Nangong Nuo'er's face changed, her body stiffened, and the sword body once again lost the opportunity to stab Lu Zhiyao's lifeline.
Nangong Nuo'er thought that Lu Zhiyao wanted to take the dagger and die with her, so she raised her leg to kick her hand, trying to kick the dagger away. But the dagger flew out in the blink of an eye, and then it didn't give people time to react at all, and more than a dozen silver needles shot out from the handle, making Nangong Nuo'er hit.
No matter how fast Nangong Nuo'er hid, she still suffered a few silver needles on her body. Lu Zhiyao looked at the anger that was almost erupting in her eyes, and he was in a good mood. She didn't bother to use this kind of small means when fighting with others, but against whom, what method to use, this trick was also learned from Nangong Nuo'er.
"Does Miss Knoll still want to fight?" Lu Zhiyao changed the appearance of leaning against the wall just now, the little white rabbit, she asked Nangong Nuo'er out loud, and then looked at the person who had already come, but had just made up his mind to appear, her eyes flashed murderous, and she ran towards him.
The man dodged her attack, and dragged Nangong Nuo'er, who was still not giving up, to quickly dodge away. Lu Zhiyao looked at the direction where the two disappeared, looked at it for a long time, and didn't chase after it, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Who was that guy just now?" Lan Ruoya walked up to Lu Zhiyao and asked in a low voice.
"Lin Yixiang." Lu Zhiyao whispered a name, looked sideways at Lan Ruoya, and replied, "I told him to come." β
Lin Yixiang took Nangong Nuo'er out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and returned to the palace. In the room, he looked at Nangong Nuo'er coldly, helped her pull out the silver needles on her body, and after making sure that there was no poison on those needles, he sat there silently.
"How can you be out there and do good things to me?" Nangong Nuo'er tilted her head to look at Lin Yixiang and asked disapprerovingly.
"Bad for you?" The corners of Lin Yixiang's mouth twitched, and he smiled coldly. "Do you really think you hit that guy? She deliberately let you go, otherwise if the needle was full of poison, and you would have the opportunity to sit here and drink tea now? β
Nangong Nuo'er put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Lin Yixiang unhappily, and asked, "How did you know that I was there?" Who told you that? β
"You think you're doing this seamlessly?" Nangong Nuo'er's audacity surprised Lin Yixiang, he didn't even have a temper, he wasn't angry at all, he just didn't understand, how dare Nangong Nuo'er mess around like this?! "Yes, I'll know you're here because someone told me, but I don't know who told me who told me. But let me remind you, it's not the first time I've seen the woman I've fought with you today, the last time was in the palace. β
Just now, when he passed by that person, Lin Yixiang smelled the once familiar aroma again, which made him uneasy.
"It was found in my room in the evening." Lin Yixiang got up and went to get something, and then threw it in front of Nangong Nuo'er.
Nangong Nuo'er opened the note and glanced at it, was silent for a while, and asked Lin Yixiang: "That woman, is it the person of the Eighth Prince?" β
"I can't be sure, but whether it's the eighth person or not, she's not easy to deal with. Nangong Nuo'er, you didn't hear her call your name just now, did you? Do you think it's just a coincidence that she'll know the day you did it, and then someone will come to inform me? Do you really understand, what does this mean?! β
Lin Yixiang listened to Nangong Nuo'er with a somewhat questioning tone, she cleared her throat, she sat up straight and looked at him with her head held high, and said, "I don't care who she is, but I don't want you to talk to me, it's in this tone." β
"Which tone?" Lin Yixiang didn't seem to understand what Nangong Nuo'er meant, he stood up and looked at her, and smiled slightly. "Noir, I think there's something you should figure out. That is, I am the emperor's son, and you are only the daughter of the minister. I used to be the Seventh Prince, and now I am Prince Luo, and I am also your future husband. In the Luo Palace, the person who will be in charge will be me, and it will never be any woman, can you understand what I mean by what I say? I don't care how tired you are of Lu Zhiyao and Lu Zhiqing, how much you want to give the two of them a little color. I'm just going to warn you that you're not going to succeed so easily. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened tonight, would it? β
Lin Yixiang's strong attitude made Nangong Nuo'er look at him with a gloomy face, without a trace of smile on his face.
"Before I got married, I started to use my identity to suppress me?" Nangong Nuo'er slowly stood up as well, walked up to Lin Yixiang's side and asked in a low voice.
