26. Chapter 31

"Hurry up and go to the Shengji Palace, there's something going on there!"

I was hiding in the shadow of the trees in the path and resting with my eyes closed, when I was suddenly awakened by a sound of messy footsteps, someone shouted loudly, and a group of guards in armor and weapons hurriedly ran from the avenue outside the trees in the direction of the Shengji Hall.

"Sure enough, something happened!" I sighed lightly, looked in the direction of the Shengji Hall and shook my head, and was about to beckon An Qingjie beside me to push me back to the Green Clothes Palace, but I was surprised to find that An Qingjie, who had been standing behind me, was gone.

Hey? What happened? I'm a little confused, An Qingjie has never been so often as today, what is there tonight that makes her easily throw me on this dark path?

"Hurry up, he must be around here, we must kill him today!"

On the avenue separated from the forest path only by dense branches, several masked black-clothed figures looked around with long knives bursting through the cold light, as if they were looking for someone, and one of them kept dripping liquid on the ground on the big knife, diffusing a faint sweet smell, if I guessed correctly, it should be human blood.

I was thinking quickly in my brain, I would soon be discovered by these black-clothed masked people in the path, and now once I make a sound or run, even if I am saved, I will also expose my identity as a normal person, and I will also be killed by Emperor Tianming at that time, in this case, I will simply pretend to be wood to the end, maybe they will see that I am an idiot and will be kind enough to let me go.

The messy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and just as the black-clad masked men were about to break through the thick branches and come to the side of the path, I suddenly saw a pair of eyes.

A pair of eyes hidden deep in the low trees next to the wheelchair, they were helplessly looking into my eyes, I actually saw a wry smile in those eyes, a wry smile after being found in the hiding place, it was strange, the first time I saw the person being chased and killed, after the whereabouts were exposed, it was not a struggle to die in the net, but a bitter smile.

Although my heart was moving, when I realized what I had done, I had already shaken the wheel of my wheelchair, and turned sideways to block the thick low trees, and also blocked the eyes that showed a wry smile.

It had always been the sound of the wheels scraping against the ground that alarmed the men in black, who quickly brushed aside the branches and walked over and stood in front of my wheelchair.

"Who are you? Have you ever seen a wounded man walk past here! ”

A man who seemed to be the leader of several people walked up to me, a pair of eyes behind a black scarf looked at me viciously in a wheelchair, and the cold glittering blade threatened me, "Say it quickly, or I'll kill you!" ”

I leaned on the wheelchair motionless, without any reaction, and kept hypnotizing myself: I am wood, I am wood, I am a fool, I am a fool, it is not that I do not move, it is that I cannot move.

The blade thrust forward, stopping at my neck.

"Say it quickly, or my knife will be merciless!" The man continued to threaten, and I ignored the sharp knife and continued to hypnotize myself.

"Wait for the eldest brother, she seems to be the princess Lingshang mentioned in the master's mouth, I secretly saw her portrait in the master's study." A man in black suddenly approached the man and reminded in a low voice.

"Is it really her?" The man's eyes looked at me twice in surprise, 'Huh! He put away the big knife that stopped at my neck, and kept muttering, "Look at this yellow-haired girl, she is thin and thin, and she is a wooden idiot, what is the charm that makes the wise and martial master of our family never forget, and before leaving, he told us not to hurt her, is it because the master has a problem with his aesthetics?" ”

"Big brother, don't complain, the master is kind to us, since we have decided to follow the master for the rest of our lives, we naturally have to obey his words, this yellow-haired girl may be the master's future daughter-in-law, our future mother, you can't hurt her!"

"Got it, don't rush!"

The man gave me a reluctant look, the long knife in his hand silently inserted back into its scabbard, and turned to leave the trail with the men in black.

What's going on? Who is the 'master' in the mouth of the black? Why did those men let me go at the risk of mission failure?

Surrounded by fog tonight, I would never have thought that in the long years from now on, I would spend my life with the few people I saw this night, perhaps, God deliberately put the most important people in my life in front of me, but unfortunately tonight, I would never think of everything that happened later, otherwise I would have been killed and would not have promised An Qingjie to go out of the palace to see Su Enamel tonight.

It's a pity that life is not foreseen, and what can be foreseen is not life.

"Silent, I'm sorry, I ......"

The branches sounded softly, and An Qingjie appeared in front of me, lowering her head and not daring to look into my eyes, with a faint self-reproach in her voice.

"It's okay, you must have something important to do when you leave, I can understand that, but I want to tell me next time before you leave, okay?" I looked at An Qingjie calmly, she was really abnormal tonight, so abnormal that it made me feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, I ......"

"It's okay, let's go back!"

I interrupted her apology and waved at her nonchalantly, in fact, we both understood that from the moment An Qingjie left me without saying a word, I had a problem in my heart, not because she left me here alone, but because she didn't say a word to me before leaving, and I told her on the night of the first day we met: I won't stop her from leaving every time, just ask her to tell me.

And An Qingjie agreed, but did not do it.

An walked behind me in silence, pushed my wheelchair like a green palace, and before leaving, the corner of my eye glanced at the thick low branches, the hidden eyes were gone, and they had long since left.
