21. Chapter 021: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
"It's not like there's nothing going on." After speaking, Ru Xi and Jian Xue went upstairs first.
As soon as the shopkeeper left, Jian Xue hurriedly closed the door and whispered, "Miss, those two people are not good people." ”
"They're definitely going to make a move tonight, you go buy something and come back."
After dinner, Jian Xue sneaked out of the inn, and soon returned, with an extra burden in her hand, "Miss, I bought everything." ”
Ru Xi nodded, smeared many freckles on Jian Xue's face by candlelight, and then used ointment to remove the red marks on her face, and both of them changed into men's clothes.
At that time, the inn was quiet, most of the guests had already slept, and as soon as Ru Xi extinguished the candle, he and Jian Xue sneaked out of the window.
A full moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the two figures in the courtyard.
"Miss, what shall we do? Where to spend the night so late. Jian Xue lowered her voice and followed behind Ru Xi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, and Jian Xue didn't have time to stop and hit it directly.
I was about to complain, but when I looked up, there were more than a dozen people in black standing in front of me.
"Isn't it! And also. Jian Xue cried with a sad face.
"Your Highness is so interested, and you are still in the mood to admire the moon at such a late hour." The man in black at the head laughed.
Your Highness? What Your Highness? Ru Xi knocked on the folding fan in his hand and asked, "Who are you?" She was sure that these people were definitely not sent by the eldest lady, but treated her as someone else.
"We are the ones who were commanded to take your head." The long sword in the hand of the man in black at the head was raised, and the man in black next to him all came around.
These people are trained killers at a glance, and with Ru Xi and Jian Xue's martial arts, they are definitely not their opponents.
"Little ...... Childe, don't hesitate any longer. Kicking the man in black away, Jian Xue looked at Ru Xi on the other side, if they didn't use poison, they would be dead.
But Miss never poisoned casually, let alone killed people with poison, in the eyes of Miss, killing people with poison is the most shameless.
But this time and that time! The swords of the three black-clothed men slashed at the same time, Jian Xue was hit by a sword in the chest, escaped death and rolled aside, only lasted a few seconds before fainting, Ru Xi was careless for a while, and his arm was slashed.
Gritting his teeth, Ru Xi jumped up, and suddenly the white powder flew around, taking advantage of the chaos, Ru Xi pulled Jian Xue and wanted to return to the second floor of the inn, when they came out, the window was obviously open, but it was closed at this time.
There is no choice but to fly into someone else's guest room.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it's finally here." As soon as Ru Xi's feet landed, he heard a man's voice from behind the screen, which was somewhat familiar.
