Chapter 2: The Assassination of the Prince

When Yu Qi heard this, the face with the human skin mask twitched,

Only when Jiang Mei heard this, her face changed, and her heart was slightly blocked, could it really be very bad?

Jiang Mei looked around and saw that the guests who were originally in the courtyard were rushing towards the backyard, it seemed that she wanted to see how those martial arts masters captured the assassin...

In the end, Jiang Mei set her eyes on Yu Qi, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, as if he was pondering, so she said, "Seventh Prince, why don't we also go to the backyard to join in the fun?" ”

Yu Qi looked at her for a while, and threw out a word: "Okay!" ”

So, the three of them walked to the backyard together, but compared to the others, their pace was much slower, because, Jiang Mei found that Yu Qi had been looking around and even investigating....

What exactly was he thinking? Jiang Mei was suspicious in her heart, sneaking into Pei's Mansion with a mask, could it be that there was any purpose? Jiang Mei felt a faint uneasiness in her heart,

In this way, the noise is getting closer and closer, they have reached the backyard, the backyard of Pei's Mansion is a quiet place, surrounded by streams, pavilions and corridors, but there is a garden on the bank, those masters of the rivers and lakes are fighting the assassin here, the original courtyard full of flowers is now messy, and the petals scattered all over the ground still exude a moist fragrance.

Jiang Mei and Yu Qi bypassed the crowd and found a higher rockery in the southeast corner, the three of them stood on a high place, looking at the confrontation in the garden on the opposite bank.

"This assassin is very skilled....he has just defeated five sects....now only the people from Der Spiegel Villa and Jianmei Villa have not made a move!"

"But....this assassin is ruthless, almost killing him, it's really hard to guard against!"

"When did such a master appear in martial arts...."One of the onlookers sighed, but this sigh was mostly happy or helpless....

The voices of these discussions were all in the ears of Jiang Mei and Yu Qi, and Yu Qi's eyes when he looked at the assassin became even more complicated...

"This assassin is too arrogant....so many martial arts masters are present, he actually challenges the major sects one by one, I don't know if he is overconfident, or if he really wants to die..."Yu Qi was faintly angry,

Ruoxue frowned when she heard this, she secretly glanced at Jiang Mei, and saw that her face was not very good-looking, so she was a little nervous,

"Hehe..."Jiang Mei smiled bitterly, "Thinking about it, the knights of the rivers and lakes really hate it when they encounter such an assassin, besieged, lose the face of the martial arts, fight alone, I am afraid to give him a chance to escape......"

"If you want to escape, I'm afraid it's not that easy..."Yu Qi said softly, his calm eyes leaping out a little clear

Jiang Mei was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and didn't know why he was so sure,

Yu Qi took her question in his eyes and said with a smile: "Look....The head disciple of Mingjing Villa and the disciple of Jianmei Villa have already joined forces to capture him..."

Jiang Mei turned her head and saw that an internal strength master and a swordsman were besieging the black-clothed assassin in the middle....

Mingjing Villa is famous all over the world for its exquisite internal skills, and Jianmei Villa is a well-known swordsman family in the rivers and lakes, judging from the skills of these two disciples, their martial arts have entered the first-class realm.

Jiang Mei nodded thoughtfully, in this way, this assassin really has no chance to escape!

But in the next moment, Jiang Mei heard Yu Qi say in a low voice, "Not good",

"The assassin wants to get out of the siege and escape......" Yu Qi said urgently,

Sure enough, Jiang Mei saw the assassin swing away the two of them with a sword, leaned back and fled....But immediately, the disciple of Jianmei Villa quickly followed with a sword, and he stabbed the assassin in the right shoulder with a sword, and the assassin exclaimed in pain, took out something from his chest, sprinkled a handful of white* powder on everyone, and then jumped away...............

The besieging people were afraid that the white * powder was poisonous, so they immediately retreated and covered their eyes, but by the time they reflected, the assassin had disappeared without a trace....

"Not good! The Assassin fled...."

"Quick! Chase! ”

Where could these martial arts disciples endure such humiliation, so they quickly scattered to all parts of Pei Mansion to investigate.

Yu Qi also jumped off the rockery at the same time, looking east and running, Jiang Mei's pupils shrank, and she followed Ruoxue without hesitation......

The more the three of them ran to the east, they found that there were fewer and fewer people here, until the three of them crossed the two courtyards and arrived at a zigzag corridor in the east, Yu Qi stopped, and Jiang Mei suddenly found that there were two more people beside him,

Jiang Mei gasped and sighed inwardly: This seventh prince is prepared...

Most of the people in Pei's Mansion went to the west, but why did this seventh prince rush to the east? The more Jiang Mei thought about it, there was a trace of apprehension in her heart, and after some short thoughts, she already had a plan in her heart.

After Yu Qi stopped, he instructed his two attendants, "You two go up to this attic quickly and block the path of the assassin!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men jumped towards the attic on the hill without saying a word......

"Why does the Seventh Prince think that the assassin will come here?" Jiang Mei gradually calmed her breathing, crossed her waist, looked at Yu Qi's back and asked,

Yu Qi turned around at this time, looked at her, and said with a smile: "After the assassin spilled the white * powder, he jumped over the wall of the garden and escaped through the corridor behind..."

"The promenade at the back of the garden can go both east and west, why is Childe sure that he will go east!" Jiang Mei asked,

Yu Qi straightened up, patted the dust on his body, and explained: "The west of the backyard of Pei's Mansion is where the servants live, and Pei's Mansion has all the supplies from there, and it is very easy to get out of there, which everyone can think of, so just now most of the soldiers and knights of Pei's Mansion and the rivers and lakes went to the west..."

"And as far as I know, Mrs. Pei built an attic on the east side, this attic is built on the mountain, sitting on the attic, you can watch the sunrise, he doesn't like to disturb people on weekdays, there are not many people here, so... If the Assassins want to escape, the attic is the most secret and convenient place......"

Jiang Mei was stunned first, and then laughed loudly: "Haha... The Seventh Prince knows everything about Pei Mansion..."Jiang Mei's eyes shot a clear gaze, and that faint smile never reached the bottom of her eyes...

Suddenly, Yu Qi's eyebrows jumped, quickly covered Jiang Mei's mouth, and hid with the two of them to the wall on one side with one hand.

"The assassin went up to the attic from the path......" Yu Qishuang looked at a bamboo forest on the west side of the corridor and whispered,

Jiang Mei was a little frightened by his shout, and she looked at it again, but there was no trace of the assassin.

And soon, the sound of swords in the attic was already heard,

Jiang Mei's heart tightened, but she said, "Seventh Prince, then let's go and besiege this assassin along the path and corridor in two ways......"

Jiang Mei was about to go up the stairs, but was stopped by Yu Qi, he shook his head, twisted his eyebrows and said: "The attic is narrow, I'm afraid I can't get in so many people, you and I have no force, and it's easy to be held hostage by assassins when you go up at this time......"

Then, he glanced at Ruoxue and said, "Let's send someone to bring some rescuers..."

Yu Qi's meaning couldn't be more obvious, but at this time, Jiang Mei looked up at the attic, because the night was getting darker, she couldn't see the situation in the attic clearly, but the sound of fighting in her ears was getting closer and closer.

"It's too late..."Jiang Mei snorted, and then her clear eyes flashed with a fine light, she turned her head and looked at Yu Qidao: "Seventh Prince, it's too late to find someone, that path can lead to Beiyuan... Now that you've thought about the first step, I'll think about the second step! ”

"Oh?" Yu Qi said with interest,

She analyzed carefully: "There are breakthroughs in every direction of Pei Mansion, but there is no escape in the north..."

Yu Qi stared at her, waiting for his next step.

"The north side is against the mountain, and behind the mountain is the cliff, and furthermore, the high wall of the Pei Mansion Deep Courtyard, the wall on the north side is as high as ten zhang, no matter how high the assassin's martial arts are, he can't fly over!"

"So what about ......"

"So let's push him north and capture him in one fell swoop... At that time, the person who believed that it was time to come had already come...."Jiang Mei tilted her head, and a weird smile tugged at the corner of her mouth,

"Good!" Yu Qi agreed, but the eyes he looked at Jiang Mei were a little more complicated, and she was not far behind.

Sure enough, after a while, Yu Qi's entourage found that the assassin had gone west from the trail, and Jiang Mei had already arranged for Ruoxue to surround it in the west, just like that, when the rest of Pei's mansion and others were still chasing around inside and outside the mansion, Jiang Mei and Yu Qi had already quietly surrounded the assassin in a small courtyard in the northeast.

At this time, the black-clothed assassin covered his right shoulder and stood in the corridor north of the courtyard, in the courtyard, Jiang Mei and Yu Qi stood faintly, and Ruoxue and Yu Qi's two attendants were guarding the east and west corners.

"Your right shoulder is injured, and you can't use the sword anymore, so grab it!" Yu Qi looked at him with a trace of regret,

Jiang Mei held her hands on her chest, and her eyes blinked at him, like looking at an ordinary person, but the assassin snorted coldly, and his left hand was completely palmed, and he was angry with his sword, and pressed towards Yu Qi's attendant...

The man suddenly turned to dodge, and the other man had already raised his sword to kill him, and soon, the three of them fought together again.

Seeing this, Jiang Mei and Yu Qi retreated again and again, leaving a venue for the three of them, suddenly, the assassin's pupils shrank, and a dart came towards Jiang Mei, Yu Qi was startled, when he was reaching out to pull Jiang Mei, Ruoxue volleyed a sword in the air, and had blocked the dart back,

Although Ruoxue protected Jiang Mei, she blocked the dart on the assassin's blade, and the assassin looked happy, and stabbed towards Yu Qi's entourage.

"Ahh One of them screamed in pain, and a dart hit him in the waist,

However, the assassin was not happy for long, because the voice of Pei Fu's soldiers had already sounded in front of the courtyard, and obviously, many people had already come here.

Seeing this, the assassin became even more anxious, and repeatedly used all his strength to fight the remaining entourage.

On the edge of the courtyard, Ruoxue protected Jiang Mei tightly as if she was afraid that she would be injured a little, and Yu Qi helped his subordinate to the side, he believed that this assassin would never be able to escape.

But soon, he found out that he was wrong, and at the moment when the Pei Fu soldiers stepped in from the west corner gate, a man in black killed a man in black from the east corner gate, and the man waved the other entourage down with one palm, and held the injured assassin with one hand, and the two jumped up, jumped on the roof of the courtyard, and then threw out a chain, firmly pulled the high wall, and then performed light skills, and quickly swept towards the outside of the high wall...
