After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, her eyes blinked, and she asked, "Do you still need a mask to kill someone like me?" ”

The other party didn't seem to understand the purpose of her question, and frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not interesting. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info just listening to what you just said, you seem to be very powerful, since you are so powerful, do you still need a mask to kill a small character like me? Don't you even have the confidence to solve me all at once? ”

Xia Yejin said while subconsciously looking out.

She is standing by the door now, not far from the inner courtyard, and the main hall is holding a dinner party at the moment, as long as she can get out of here smoothly, stand by the corner door and yell a few words, not afraid of attracting the attention of others. But before she can get out of here, she needs to see what the masked killer looks like.

"You're pretty sharp." The other crossed his arms, "But you don't have to worry, I'll take off the mask when I kill you." ”

Xia Yejin was heartbroken, "Then you should kill it quickly, otherwise I will go out to feed the horses." ”

"It's not interesting."

"So what's going to be interesting?"

"Don't you know, when I kill people, I like to watch them struggle to die in pain, despair and fear, what's the point of stabbing them like this?"

The tone of the other party's speech was unusually relaxed, as if they were chatting about family life.

Xia Yejin's face froze, she didn't expect that the other party would be so vicious.

"Okay." Seeing that Xia Yejin didn't move, the masked killer thought that she had been successfully suppressed, so he took out two pills from his arms and unfolded them in front of him, saying helplessly, "Eh, I'm going to use this method again, there's nothing new at all." After a pause, he said, "I have two pills here, one poisonous and the other is not poisonous, you choose one and eat it, otherwise I will kill you directly......"

He spoke quickly, but in a perfunctory tone. It's as if it's been said thousands of times.

"I don't choose, you can kill me directly." Xia Yejin did not hesitate at all.

"You're really not afraid of death?"

"You just said that I like to torture others psychologically, so you asked me to choose medicine not to let me live at all, but to see me being tortured and falling into the pain of infinite despair, and I will die anyway, why should I do what you wish?"

The other party was obviously a little crying and laughing, "You are really funny, you are dying and you still have time to talk to me." ”

"I'm going to die anyway, it doesn't matter." Xia Yejin suddenly raised her head and stared at him seriously.

It seemed that the eyes were a little hairy, and the other party suddenly lost his patience, chuckled, and jumped up and rushed towards her.

Of course, Xia Yejin was not prepared to die in vain, she took out a dagger from her sleeve, and waved her backhand, but before she could successfully counterattack, she heard a "bang", and then the person fell straight to the ground like an eagle vulture that was shot down in the air.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? I haven't done anything yet......"

The situation was reversed in an instant, and Xia Yejin looked confused. She was ready to fight to the death, but she didn't expect that before she could kill, the other party fell first.

The masked man just wanted to speak, but suddenly felt a cramping pain in his chest, and his whole body was surging with qi and blood, and he spit out a mouthful of blood without control. He clutched his heart and struggled to stand up, but he felt like he had been hammered down in the chest and fell to the ground in an instant.

Gritting his teeth, he pulled out a short sword he was wearing, took a strong breath, and stabbed at his body as fast as possible, Xia Yejin saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to split his hand and snatched the short sword, "clang", and the short sword was thrown aside.

"You'd better just kill me, or else—" Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.

This mansion is regarded as another courtyard of the Li family, because Li Xizhi's health is not very good, and he wants to be quiet and live here alone all year round. Prime Minister Li himself rarely appears here, but Mrs. Li often comes, like this time Pei Qinxue came from Jinling, she personally came here to set up a banquet and entertain.

However, arranging an unmarried woman in a courtyard where only Li Xizhi lives alone, even in the Tang Dynasty, where the folk customs are very civilized, is still a bit unbelievable, or rather, the purpose is too obvious.

Therefore, as soon as Pei Qinxue came to the Li Mansion, the people with active heads began to have a plan in their hearts.

"This Miss Pei's trip is not simple......"

"Isn't that nonsense? I didn't see Mrs. Li looking at her, just like a daughter-in-law. ”

"But her origin ......"

"Ugh."

Pei Qinxue listened to the chatter in the courtyard and sneered in her heart. Married to Li Xizhi? The Li family is not so kind, the reason why she lives here is just because they are worried that their short-lived child will not be taken care of, and she will take care of it. But fortunately, she is not the real Pei Qinxue, and this kind of thing is just an expedient measure. After a few days, I'll be able to find that thing and leave.

But where is that thing hidden?

She had already rummaged through Li Xizhi's study and bedroom just now, but she found nothing at all, could it be that she would hide in the backyard and outer courtyard, an inconsequential place for people to live?

I was suspicious, but I still walked in the direction of the backyard.

Xia Yejin looked at the person in front of him and sighed silently.

When she was a child, she wandered around the pharmacy all the year round, and she also knew a little about medicine. Judging from his symptoms, it seems that he has been poisoned, and it is not light.

But what kind of poison it is, Xia Yejin can't see it. She suddenly remembered that Steward Li had just counted a few purple salvia rewarded by the emperor this morning, and if she could get that, she would be able to kill him. But if it is discovered, the end is also very sour.

However, now the situation is urgent, she can't take care of so much, while everyone is busy in the main hall, she quietly sneaked into the inner courtyard of the ear room, leaving no trace of the door and lock is nothing to her, after successfully stealing a purple salvia, she ran to the outer courtyard non-stop to get a medicine pot to decoction, worried that the other party could not survive, but also worried that he would be discovered, only boiled for half an hour, and hurriedly brought it, spoonful to feed him to drink.

Pei Qinxue had already walked to the corner gate, she didn't believe that such an important thing would be hidden in this messy backyard, but since she was idle, it was also a good choice to familiarize herself with the structure of the Li Mansion.

But what surprised her was that on this big night, even if the backyard gate was lit up, there was still light in the firewood room. And, with a slight movement?

The days of licking blood at the tip of the knife all year round made her more alert than ordinary people, Pei Qinxue just turned around a little by the corner gate and walked straight to the courtyard.

The door of the firewood room was closed, but the light of the fire peeked through the cracks in the wooden door. (To be continued.) )
