Chapter Twenty-Three: The Banquet Assassins

Coming to the attic, Bafujin **** looked a little depressed, it seems that it was the incident just now that touched the heart of ****, but the eighth master didn't know it yet, and walked to the side of ****, held ****'s hand, and asked very gently: "The child didn't trouble you today, right?"

just smiled slightly, as if he was a little tired: "He is very well-behaved today, and he won't toss me anymore."

Xueyi, who was standing on the side, was already in a daze, and **** pretended to be calm: "Princess, today's ninth master is a happy event, you can have a few more drinks."

Xueyi came back to his senses, walked up to them and said, "Yes, I came here today to meet you and chat with you."

The eighth master saw that Xueyi was still standing, so he signaled: "Since you want to chat, sit down, I won't delay you to catch up."

The eighth master looked at Fu Jin and withdrew his hand from Fu Jin's hand, Fu Jin and Xueyi just saluted slowly.

Xueyi, who has been absent-minded, looked at the back of the eighth master leaving, and **** happened to notice Xueyi's move, but what can he do, Xueyi is the one who wants to marry the prince after all, even if the two of them like each other, there will always be no chance to be together.

Everyone in the front yard was drinking and laughing, and the ninth master stood up, holding a wine glass, making a toasting gesture, and said, "Brothers, I will go back to the room first, you must have a few more drinks here."

Then he drank it all, and everyone sitting on it understood that the prince said: "Today is a good day for the ninth brother, if you delay you, it will be ours."

The Ninth Master just smiled, and then left, and the others also left.

Along the way, Jiu Ye kept smiling, smiling but not smiling, and it felt incomprehensible. I don't know if it's because I want to see the bride or because of something else.

The people in the banquet were still drinking happily, and just as everyone was talking and laughing, suddenly a scabbard flew into the middle of the third master and the thirteenth master, and the thirteenth master pushed the third master away at once and caught the scabbard.

Suddenly, a masked female assassin appeared in the middle of the courtyard, walking like a flying sword in the direction of the thirteenth master, it is strange to say, this female assassin has no hostility towards the other princes at all, but just stares at the thirteenth master, everyone on the field is stunned, and the tenth master shouts next to him: "Come quickly."

Seeing this, Xinghai also jumped forward to fight with the Thirteenth Master.

The fight in the front yard was so fierce, for fear of disturbing Bafujin, the eighth master sent someone to Fujin's room to spread the word, and Xiao Si was panting when he came over: "Qiqi Bafujin, there are assassins in the courtyard, Baye please Fujin and the princess don't come out."

Assassin? This was the first time he had encountered such an exciting thing, Xueyi stood up and asked curiously, "No one has ever beaten an assassin?"

Xiao Si replied, "The Thirteenth Master and his attendants are fighting the Assassins."

"What? Thirteen masters? "As soon as I heard that the Thirteenth Master was fighting with others now, no matter how I said it, he was an assassin, what if he was not careful, what could he do.

No, I'll have to take a look.

The Thirteenth Master looked at the assassin's eyes, and always felt so familiar, and he was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he was actually stabbed by the soft-waisted sword in the assassin's arms.

Xueyi, who had just arrived, saw that the Thirteenth Master was injured, and was a little frightened, and wanted to run over, but the Tenth Master pulled Xueyi and was very surprised and said, "You don't want to die, don't you see any assassins?"

Xueyi was very angry: "Why don't you help, didn't you see that the thirteenth master was injured?"

The eighth master, who was standing on the side, picked up the bow and arrow and aimed at the assassin, but because the assassin was fighting, the position was always moving around, so the eighth master fixed for a while, Luo Xinghai noticed the eighth master's actions, so he deliberately threw a cup over, the assassin turned around, just froze, the eighth master put a sword, and shot the assassin's right hand, and the guards in the house immediately grabbed the injured assassin when he saw the opportunity, and tore off the veil, it turned out to be Mo Yan.

The Thirteenth Master was stunned, Luo Xinghai was also stunned, all everyone thought was that the assassin was caught, but no one noticed the expressions of the Thirteenth Master and Luo Xinghai.

Luo Xinghai saw that the eyes of the Thirteenth Master had never left the assassin, and when he saw Mo Yan with blood on his hands, he knew that it would hurt.

Xueyi stood two meters away from the thirteenth master, and when he saw the thirteenth master's demeanor, Xueyi felt that something had happened. Looking back at the subdued assassin, he always felt that he felt very sorry for the assassin, because Xueyi had never seen anyone injured like this, let alone a girl.

The eighth master ordered, "Take people down."

Looking at the back of the assassin leaving, the tears in the corners of the thirteenth master's eyes were about to flow out, and the third master came over and saw the wound on the thirteenth master's chest, and said, "Go and ask the imperial doctor."

The Thirteenth Master immediately shouted: "No need, I'll just apply some medicine."

The eighth master was a little worried and said, "Thirteenth brother, let's take a look, it won't be good if the wound worsens."

The Thirteenth Master thought: If you let the imperial doctor know, you must know that Huang Ama will know, no.

Seeing the thirteenth master's hesitant appearance, the eighth master would always guess something and say, "That's it, the servant in my house who knows a little about pharmacology will show you."

Only then did the Thirteenth Master relax and nodded.

Xinghai and the third master helped the thirteenth master to go back, the thirteenth master just glanced at Xueyi, didn't look at it much, just went back like this.

The prince, who was standing on the side, was naturally very happy when he saw this scene.

At this time, Yingqi ran over and stood in front of the eighth master, and said coldly: "Eighth master, the ninth master is injured."

Everyone on the field was stunned again.

Everyone sat in the lobby, waiting for Eagle to come with the prisoner.

The atmosphere on the field is very strict, although Xueyi remembers the thirteenth master, but after all, the prince is present, it is always not too obvious, thinking of the fourth master's clear warning, every step of contact with the thirteenth master is to be especially careful.

"Bang dang", I felt that someone knelt down next to me, Xueyi turned his head and looked, it turned out to be Li Siniang, Xueyi was a little stunned, stood up, everyone looked at Xueyi, but Xueyi completely forgot who was waiting around him.

Siniang also noticed it, but pretended not to know it.

The tenth master stood up and whispered, "Princess, sit down."

Xueyi looked at all the elder brothers in the court, thinking that it would not be good if he was too impulsive and self-defeating, so he sat down slowly.

The crown prince and the eighth master sat in front, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

The eighth master opened his mouth and asked, "Who are you?" Why kill the Ninth Master. ”

Siniang was stubborn, but she didn't say a word.

"If you don't speak, it doesn't mean you'll be fine, no matter what you say, you're also the concubine of the ninth brother, and I will hand you over to the ninth brother to deal with." The eighth master looked at Siniang with a very cold look.

The Fourteenth Master couldn't help but speak: "Presumably you don't know how powerful the Ninth Master is, dealing with killers, the Ninth Master will make them worse than dead, and regret coming to this world for a while."

Seeing that the Fourteenth Master said such an inhuman statement, Xueyi was a little frightened.

"If you confess honestly now, I can still intercede with the ninth brother and let you have a good time." The eighth master tried to give Siniang the last chance to struggle.

But Siniang still didn't say a word, the atmosphere on the field was extremely strict, and no one seemed to be able to untie it.

The crown prince looked at the eighth master: "Eighth brother, since he doesn't say it, he will temporarily suppress it first, it's too late today, let's come over tomorrow to visit the ninth brother."

The eighth master also considered the time, so he said, "It's okay." He said to the brothers around: "If you don't dislike it, you can also stay with me for one night."

The tenth master next to him, the fourteenth master naturally stayed, and Xueyi was thinking: Should I stay, how will they treat the fourth sister, will they use cruel torture tools? Will the prince think crookedly again?

Immersed in the problem of how to choose, the prince had already retired, Xueyi stared at Siniang, who had been bowing her head, and had to walk out step by step to follow the prince.

On the carriage, Xueyi couldn't figure out why Siniang was a killer, she was obviously a weak woman, but she became a prisoner who was slaughtered by others.

"What, are you worried about the Thirteenth Master? If that's the case, I can order someone to send you back to the Eighth Master's Mansion, wouldn't it be just right to guard him. ”

Xueyi knew that the prince had knocked over the vinegar jar again, so he had to say cautiously: "No, the prince, what will the female assassin do today?"

The crown prince didn't seem to care about his brother's affairs at all, and replied indifferently: "The assassin hurt the prince of the Qing Dynasty, so he was naturally executed."

Execute? Why can the prince say so easily? It seems that the reckless brotherhood recorded in the history books is not wrong at all.

Spit out a few words softly: "Is it?" Can't you save them? ”

The prince stared at Xueyi, looking at Xueyi's sad face, but just shook his head.

The next morning, Xueyi stayed in the place where he entered and exited the palace gate very early, hiding in the distance, just wanting to wait for the eighth master and ask the ninth master about his condition.

However, I didn't expect that it was the thirteenth master who was waiting for him, and Xueyi was a little surprised: Thirteenth master? Isn't it hurt? Why did he still want to come back?

Xueyi was about to take a step, but found that the prince also came to the gate of the palace, Xueyi stopped his steps, watching the thirteenth master and the prince talking, but he didn't dare to lift his steps and move forward.

Sitting diagonally, ready to hide, the squint of the corner of his eye saw the tenth and fourteenth masters walking to the left.

It just so happened that you could meet the prince and the thirteenth master.

The tenth master was shaking his head and sighing: "I don't know what the ninth brother and the thirteenth brother are thinking, they have to let the two of me come to Princess Xueyi."

"Then trouble the Tenth Master to take me to the Eighth Master's Mansion." Xueyi took the conversation by chance.

The tenth master and the fourteenth master were a little frightened, and the tenth master said angrily: "Princess, don't bring such a scary."

Xueyi was very anxious, but he had to pretend to be very indifferent: "Let's just say that the tenth master can take me out."

"This ......" the tenth master hesitated a little.

"It's good that you just follow our sedan chair out, but you have to be wronged by the princess." Looking at the fourteenth master's arrogant appearance, Xueyi knew that there must be nothing good, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to nod very firmly.

When they came to the gate of the palace, the fourteenth and tenth masters were all sitting in sedan chairs, and their subordinates were indeed routinely inspected. Fortunately, the fourteenth and tenth masters were not strictly inspected, and finally quietly went out of the palace gate.

After walking for a distance, the fourteenth master and the tenth master sent their men away, and after the tenth master saw that they were all gone, he got into the sedan chair and shouted: "The princess can come out."

Xueyi staggered out, Xu was kneeling for too long, his feet were a little numb, accidentally, he fell on the fourteenth master, he thought he would be pushed away directly, but he didn't expect the fourteenth master to hold Xueyi, but he said with a cold face: "I know that my feet are numb, I came out so quickly, I will go back to the sedan chair and sit for a while."

Xueyi found out that the Fourteenth Master was actually not so bad, but he was so nervous because of the urgency, so he shirked: "Let's go and see the Ninth Master quickly, so as not to wait in a hurry."

Maybe he was really in a hurry, so he forgot the identities of the fourteenth master and the tenth master, and walked forward with his steps.

Coming to the Eighth Master's Mansion, the Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master took Xueyi to the door of the Ninth Master's Mansion, the Fourteenth Master looked at the door closed, and was about to knock on the door, Xueyi suddenly pushed the door open and went in.

The fourteenth master and the tenth master felt that they had collided with the ninth master, and watched Xueyi find the ninth master who was resting on the bed, but they just glanced at Xueyi, feeling that it was a little too rude, and was about to say something: "Brother Jiu......"

"Fourteenth brother, tenth brother, you go out first, I have something to talk to the princess." Jiu Ye's always cold tone made people a little creepy.

The Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master just looked at Xueyi, and then retreated silently.

"Ninth Master, aren't you doing this for that gamble? If so, I'll throw in the towel. "Xueyi has some atmosphere, but it is very calm.

"It's only a matter of time before you're made to admit you're losing." The Ninth Master smiled.

Xueyi rushed to the ninth master and looked down at him: "Then what are you going to do to let the fourth sister go."

Jiu Ye flicked his clothes with his hand, and said with a very serior atmosphere: "You stand so high, I look dizzy."

Xueyi saw that Jiu Ye's injured right hand instinctively moved just now, wasn't it injured?

Xueyi stared at it for two seconds, then leaned forward and grabbed Jiu Ye's hand hard.

"Ahh With the painful expression on Jiu Ye's face and this scream, Xueyi instantly let go of his hands.

The Ninth Master immediately stood up and said angrily, "Why are you so vicious, do you want to abolish my hand?"

Xueyi seemed to be frightened by this scolding, and saw that the Ninth Master's lowered right hand was flowing blood. Xueyi shouted at the door: "Come on, come on."

The Fourteenth Master and the Tenth Master broke in, and the Tenth Master looked at Xueyi in panic and asked, "Princess Xueyi, what's wrong?"

Xueyi looked at the hands of the ninth master, the fourteenth master and the tenth master also noticed the blood of the ninth master following Xueyi's gaze, and the fourteenth master walked over and asked the ninth master: "Where is the medicine and cloth?"

The Ninth Master gestured to the drawer next to him with his eyes.

The whole room was quiet, and Xueyi quietly watched the fourteenth master change the medicine for the ninth master.

Watching the Fourteenth Master slowly tear off the Ninth Master's gauze, although the Ninth Master endured the pain, the green tendons on his face were still exposed, which would not lie. Looking at the wound, which is eight centimeters long, the wound seems to be very deep, about two to three centimeters. The wound that had just healed was made even more flesh and blood by Xueyi. When Xueyi saw this scene, he felt that he had caused it, if he hadn't speculated and injured the Ninth Master, he wouldn't have had to let the Ninth Master be hurt again.

Maybe it was because he didn't want to go, Xueyi didn't say anything, and left the ninth master's room.

The Fourteenth Master and the Ninth Master just looked at it, and the Tenth Master said with a big grin: "I'll go see her." Then he followed.

Xueyi came to the middle of the courtyard, and was looking a little depressed, when he suddenly noticed footsteps on the opposite side, and when he looked up, it turned out to be the Thirteenth Master, looking at his pale face, it seemed that there was something important.

The thirteenth master's eyes flickered a little, and he didn't dare to look up at Xueyi.

Xueyi was thinking in her heart: Looking at the Thirteenth Master like this, could it be that the girl yesterday was the real other half of the Thirteenth Master, maybe, it was time for me to wake up.

The tenth master came to the side, saw the eighth master, the thirteenth master and Luo Xinghai, and shouted: "Eighth brother, thirteenth brother, you are back."

Luo Xinghai shouted: "Tenth master, princess."

As soon as the words fell, Xueyi strode over and said to Luo Xinghai: "You go and get some light porridge for the Thirteenth Master, and I'll help you."

The Thirteenth Master didn't refuse, but just let Xueyi support him.

"It's windy here, let's go back to the house and rest." Xueyi didn't even look at the thirteenth master, just said so.

Looking at Xueyi's haggard face, the Thirteenth Master couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

"I ......", the thirteenth master spat out a word, and his voice stopped again.

Xueyi also knew that maybe his love had affected the thirteenth master, so he reluctantly squeezed out a little smile: "It's said that the wind is strong, let's go to the house first."

"Hmm." The Thirteenth Master nodded, although there was still a hint of weakness on his face, he still tried his best to make himself look less fragile.

When he came to the room, Xueyi poured tea for the third and thirteenth masters. The third master looked at the thirteenth master, and someone took care of it, and he also felt that Xueyi and the thirteenth master had something to say. I felt that it was time to leave, so I said to the thirteenth master who was looking at Xueyi stunned: "Thirteenth brother, I will go back to the palace first, and I will come to see you another day."

The thirteenth master stood up and said, "Third brother, the affairs in the palace will trouble you."

The third master nodded, and Xueyi shouted to the third master: "Third master, can I trouble you to bring Abi'er to you, lest Fujin find out when the time comes, and Abi'er will be punished again."

The third master nodded and said, "Then I'll go."

Xueyi leaned over and watched the third master leave.

After watching the third master leave.

Xueyi sat next to the thirteenth master, slowly picked up the tea and drank it, and the thirteenth master also drank the tea slowly, but there was an unspeakable look on his face.

"Thirteenth Master, I don't know any big truths, but I hope you can help me analyze this matter." Xueyi turned to look at the Thirteenth Master, his eyes full of helplessness.

The Thirteenth Master took a long breath and said lightly, "It's time for me to say it myself."

"I just want to know the mind of the ninth master, I don't want to know about you for the time being." Xueyi seemed to have discovered the inner thoughts of the thirteenth master, so he said in a hard tone.

The Thirteenth Master may have felt that he was afraid that he would hurt Xueyi, and he was also a little frightened by Xueyi's sudden tone.

Looking at the sluggish thirteenth master, Xueyi also knew that he was too tough, so he tilted his head a little, wondering if he had collided with the grandiose son.

"Brother Jiu didn't go to the court on the grounds that the little brother was uncomfortable, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it, I don't know what he thinks." Thirteen expressed his thoughts, which was equivalent to exposing himself.

"That's what you think?" Xueyi looked at the thirteenth master, just wanting to know if he had guessed correctly.

The Thirteenth Master turned his head, took the tea, didn't speak, took a sip and said, "Miss Li's matter is not difficult to say, as long as the ninth brother is willing to let go, there is no problem......

Xueyi lowered his eyes and looked at the silk handkerchief in his hand, but a lot of thoughts poured out of his heart: I and Jiu Ye are like natural enemies, and so are modern times, and they are now, not to mention that I hurt him again just now, I don't know if he will hold a grudge.

"Is it that hard to ask me?" Before hearing the person, first hear the voice, every word reveals arrogance.

The Ninth Master stepped in slowly, and Luo Xinghai behind him also followed in inexplicably, holding a light porridge in his hand, with a somewhat ugly expression, presumably it was the Ninth Master who ordered him not to say it.

Xueyi stood up, looked at the ninth master in front of him, and drummed in his heart: implement soft means.

Xueyi walked over and held the hand of the ninth master: "The ninth master, I'll help you."

Jiu Ye was a little shocked at first, but then quickly returned to normalcy and sat down in the footsteps of Xueyi.

The Thirteenth Master saw that there should be some things on the field that he shouldn't have heard, so he stood up and said, "Ninth brother, you and the princess will chat first, and I'll go out for a walk first."

Xueyi and Jiu Ye nodded.

After the Thirteenth Master left, Xueyi immediately said to the Ninth Master as docile as a little sheep: "Ninth Master, you still say what you want, I will agree."

The Ninth Master asked with some puzzlement: "You don't care about the injury of the thirteenth brother, you don't care about my injury, but you want to compromise blindly, so unruly to ask for people, do you think it will be successful?"

Xueyi stared at the ninth master, and said with confidence in his eyes: "Yes?" Don't you just want me to do something for you, as long as I agree, do you care about the method or something? ”

"Good. Since the princess is so refreshing, I also said bluntly, I want you to leave the thirteenth master, marry the prince well, and be my internal response. "What the Ninth Master said seems to be a bit sonorous, not quite like a person who has been injured.

But is this your condition? It's okay to say that he just regards the Thirteenth Master as an idol, and his liking for him may only be the liking of handsome guys. However, marrying the prince and doing a spy task is so difficult. Not to mention that being a spy is dead at any time and there is no place to be buried, even if you are a princess, it is no different from being dead. Then say yes for the time being, and forget about it later, and run away when it's time to run.

"Okay, I promise." Xueyi's promise is also sonorous and powerful. Seeing that Jiu Ye smiled with satisfaction, Xueyi stood up and looked like he wanted to leave quickly, but he couldn't say too obviously: "It's nothing, I'll leave first."

Xueyi's steps were fast, but he still didn't avoid the ninth master's thoughts: "Wait a minute, I signed this written agreement first, how come I don't know that you won't remember next time?"

Xueyi walked over, picked up the paper and walked to the inkstone inside, and hastily wrote his name on it. After writing, he threw down the pen and paper, and left without saying a word.

The entire empty room was left alone with the ninth master, who smiled bitterly: "The entire palace, except for Huang Ama, you alone dare to show me a look"
