The lantern festival in the capital lasts for five days, and during this period, a banquet is held in the palace, and now there is no concubine or concubine in the palace who can be the master, so Xuanyuan Zichen has to help deal with the banquet in the palace.

Shen Liuyue didn't feel any blame after knowing it, anyway, it was okay to go shopping by herself.

The first day of the Lantern Festival was not the most lively time, Shen Liuyue never went out, the banquet in the palace was the evening of the second day, Shen Liuyue was not going to attend, but then I thought about it, I still had to go, I had to go to the Lantern Festival in advance, and then go to the banquet.

Just when she came out of the Regent's Mansion, she was followed, but there were too many people on this street, and the shadow guards who protected Shen Liuyue couldn't be sure who those people were following?

Ru'er was a little unwell, so Shen Liuyue let her stay in the mansion to rest, and there was only one Yi'er on the bright side who followed Shen Liuyue.

Shen Liuyue has also learned martial arts for a while, Yi'er is still learning well, if something really happens, protect yourself first, and wait for someone to come.

"This lantern festival is really lively." When I went out, I turned a corner, and I seemed to have discovered a new world.

The road is lined with vendors, in addition to all kinds of lanterns, there are also a lot of snacks, but also a lot of objects, taking advantage of these days to earn a lot of money.

The people who come and go, there are brothers, young ladies, ordinary peasant people, and there are many children who carry lanterns passing by, and the trees on the roadside are set up with lanterns, which is very lively.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the Lantern Festival, but I didn't expect it to be so lively."

Shen Liuyue's dress was also very simple, holding a fan in her hand, and casually said to Yi'er next to her.

Yi'er was on guard left and right at this time, she always felt that there were a lot of ill-intentioned glances today, but when she looked closely, there was nothing.

"What the master said is that this lantern festival itself is an extremely important festival in the capital, and it is normal to be lively.

Naturally, it's good, but Shen Liuyue just looked at it, and didn't mean to buy it.

Just walked to a secluded place, a child bumped into Shen Liuyue, Shen Liuyue quickly helped the child up: "Are you okay?"

The child just shook his head, and ran away, not knowing where to run down the alley.

Shen Liuyue got up a little anxiously: "This kid walks in such a hurry, I'm afraid he will fall......"

When she was cleaning up her skirt, Shen Liuyue's hand brushed her waist, and then realized that her purse was ...... It's gone.

Obviously it was still there just now, why was it gone in the blink of an eye, and it was only that one who was there just now...... Child?

Suddenly widening her eyes, Shen Liuyue looked at the swarthy alley: "That kid stole my purse just now."

Although Yi'er had a moment of doubt in her heart, she still followed Shen Liuyue and chased after her: "The slave maid in this alley has not been here before, but according to the design of the capital, it should be passable, let's be careful."

As soon as he chased into the alley for a while, he found that the child was counting there with his purse, and suddenly looked up at Shen Liuyue and Yi'er, and hurriedly ran away with his purse.

The two naturally didn't want to stop there, and chased after them directly, but the kid was obviously very familiar with the terrain here, and he didn't know where he went.

Shen Liuyue obviously felt that this place was getting more and more remote, and it seemed that she couldn't hear the laughter outside, something was wrong, the Lantern Festival was often lively on these streets, and it was obvious that she could come here.

Just as he was about to take Yi'er back, who knew that more than a dozen masked men appeared behind him, and seeing the tall body, it was not at all what the two of them could fight.

Shen Liuyue wondered in her heart who was doing this, but she didn't force it.

"I don't know what the hell you're going to do?"

"Don't do anything, don't worry, the girl just invites you to come and sit down."

Calling her a girl, Shen Liuyue's first reaction, this masked man didn't seem to know her identity, so it was also a good thing.

Surrounded by more than a dozen masked men, Shen Liuyue and the two followed each other, this alley was really like a maze, and they didn't know how to walk, and they were taken to a remote courtyard.

Just now, all the way over, Shen Liuyue was secretly observing, this place seems to be inhabited by civilians in the west, and it seems that it is not simple to be able to have such a courtyard here, and this person behind it.

Open a room, and the man lets the two of them in.

The house was not sealed, probably because the other party felt that it was impossible for the two women to escape their encirclement.

And the room was cleaned up, Shen Liuyue sat on the round bench to rest, and her mind gradually smoothed out from a mess of trouble.

"Judging by this man's intentions, it seems that he is preparing to kidnap us. Whoever is behind this, we have to be careful. ”

That's what he said, but on the bright side, Shen Liuyue conveyed a person's eyes, Yi'er nodded slightly, and the vigilance in her heart was raised to the highest. TXT Book House

The two of them leaned on the door and listened carefully, when they were brought in just now, there were more than a dozen people, and there was still a group of people in this courtyard, and now it seems that a large number of people have left, and there are still a few left.

This is why Shen Liuyue didn't plan to do it just now, even the first dozen people couldn't beat it, let alone the group here.

"These two are exceptionally good today, but do you know the identities of these two?"

The keeper handed a jug of wine to one of the masked men in black, and the black cloth on the man's face was removed, revealing his exotic face.

Shen Liuyue saw all this clearly from the cracks, and was suddenly shocked: "They seem to be the people of the Huns......"

"Are you sure?" Yi'er has been raised in the Regent's Mansion, and she has never seen these people, but she just feels vaguely not like a person from the capital.

Shen Liuyue nodded heavily, there were no guards outside this room, as if to prevent them from hearing anything, they were guarding the door of the opposite room, but they just happened to be able to see this side.

"Why did the people of the Huns enter the capital at this time? Is there another war on the frontier? ”

At this time, Shen Liuyue's heart was very flustered, she wanted to bring the news to Xuanyuan Zichen, but the most important thing now was to stabilize herself first.

"Yi'er, I've already observed, there are only six people outside now, although they are tall and big, but we have to be fast, as long as we can manage to delay, we can run to the door, we can leave."

Shen Liuyue herself is from the capital, and she felt that these alleys were like labyrinths just now, but now that she has sobered up, she is also clear in her heart about how these alleys are built.

Seeing that the people outside didn't pay attention to them, Shen Liuyue drew a map of the alley on the ground with a slight conciseness: "Wait a while, you follow me, we must leave here quickly."

"Yes, don't worry, master." As she spoke, Yi'er took out the drug hidden in the collar, just this small packet was enough to deal with a few people outside, but they were now scattered and could only charm a few people.

After discussing the strategy, Shen Liuyue began to wail, she had seen a lot of this kind of method before, and Shen Liuyue used it smoothly and smoothly.

The people guarding outside didn't care at first, but after a while, they came over, patted the door and said angrily: "It's better to be good, otherwise it will solve you immediately."

"Uncle, it's really a little woman's stomach ache, can you let someone show the little girl? said that something bad happened today, but I'm afraid that a few masters won't be able to do it. ”

Shen Liuyue said this sentence intermittently, and Yi'er hurriedly continued: "My girl was also raised by golden branches and jade leaves, if there is anything bad here today, none of you can escape."

The people outside seemed to have discussed for a while, and then opened the door, and at this time there were four big men, and Shen Liuyue and Yi'er couldn't even compare to one.

Yi'er helped Shen Liuyue to walk outside, Shen Liuyue's face was pale, and her trembling appearance didn't look like a fake, those big men were also a little worried, and they were getting together to discuss, Shen Liuyue looked at her, Yi'er sprinkled the medicine powder in her hand, and the drug in the sky shrouded several people, and even their vision was a little confused.

Shen Liuyue and Yi'er immediately ran hand in hand, and just remembered clearly that the location of the courtyard gate was not far away.

The two big men guarding on the other side rushed over, and as for the four big men, they also rushed over in a daze, but they just walked a few steps, and they all fell to the ground.

As for the two big men who rushed over, Shen Liuyue and Yi'er dealt with one by one, Shen Liuyue's martial arts were taught by her grandfather before, and then by Xuanyuan Zichen, which can be described as a recruitment and killing, without any bells and whistles.

Because the big man was light on the enemy, he was soon injured by Shen Liuyue and injured an arm, looking like that, it was estimated that he was fractured.

Yi'er next to her took advantage of her ingenuity to kick the big man back a few steps, and before the big man could react, the two ran away.

Shen Liuyue pulled Yi'er, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, rushed into the alley, taking an easy road, and when they heard the messy footsteps behind, neither of them looked back.

Rushing out of the alley and running to the crowded street, Shen Liuyue and Yi'er felt alive, and when they looked back, the big men didn't move not far from the alley.

Shen Liuyue turned around and showed a provocative smile, and hurriedly took Yi'er and left.

It is not advisable to stay here for long, for if they do not take care of them, they are afraid that they will suffer.

"Master, in your opinion, where is the right place for us to go now?"

Shen Liuyue kept thinking in her heart, and finally there was only one thought left: "Let's go to the palace and find the prince."

"The Imperial Palace? But ...... "But I haven't dressed up now, and if the master passes like this, I'm afraid that some people will think it's a great disrespect to Your Majesty."

Knowing Yi'er's worries, Shen Liuyue shook her head slightly, her smile a little sinister.

"It is precisely because of this that we can attract their attention, and as for the prince and majesty, they will not blame us at all. Ordered a city-wide manhunt to be faster. ”

"What the master said is, let's go quickly."

Fortunately, this street leads directly to the palace, and there are disturbing crowds along the way, and those black-clothed men who are following have no chance to start, but the shadow guards who protect Shen Liuyue can't find her.
