Chapter 42: The Secret Meeting

Su Wanyan has developed a habit, and she is very alert when she sleeps, and everyone in the house is sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and it is also the quietest time, she heard someone fighting outside the window, although she deliberately lowered her voice, she still heard it clearly.

She got up silently, opened the door and walked out, and the courtyard was full of moonlight, and she saw a man in a black robe fighting with five or six people in night clothes and masked faces.

The men in black robes were bare-handed, and they all had weapons, and they tossed and turned, and the speed of their attacks was very fast, and the momentum of the slaughter seemed to dim the moonlight a little.

The men did not have the upper hand in the slightest, and were forced into the woods behind the courtyard by the men in black robes.

Su Wanyan had already recognized that the man in the black robe was Duanmu Rui, and when she saw that they had gone to the back of the courtyard, she also chased after them.

Duanmu Rui had already spotted her, ran to her hiding place and said to her, "Go quickly, don't let them see you." ”

Su Wanyan didn't have time to leave, and from his words, she could tell that those people were coming for her, and she couldn't leave, so she hid there and didn't move.

Those opponents rushed over, and Duanmu Rui tried his best to deal with them, but he was distracted for a while, and he wanted to care about Su Wanyan, so he was snorted by the other party, and seeing that the blade was about to cut at him, Su Wanyan immediately shook his wrist, and a row of sleeve arrows flew out.

The man fell to the ground with a scream, and the other opponents saw that the situation was not right, and some were injured, but they were quickly disappeared into the woods by their companions.

Duanmu Rui glanced at the man lying on the ground, then at Su Wanyan, and finally decided not to chase those people.

Su Wanyan appeared, and saw that the man had a sleeve arrow on his chest and waist and abdomen, if he was not cured, he would definitely die, and he would definitely not be able to run away like this.

"Is your target me?" Su Wanyan ripped off the man's masking towel and found that she didn't know him at all.

The man covered his chest with his hands, blood spilling from between his fingers, and he nodded.

"Why did you assassinate me?" Su Wanyan scolded loudly, and the head of the arrow in her hand was about to go deeper.

The man immediately said: "Because, because some people feel that the momentum of the Amazing Speech Hall is too strong and block his way, they want to kill you and bring down the Amazing Speech Hall, so as to replace the Amazing Speech Hall in the rivers and lakes." ”

When Su Wanyan heard this, she was angry and despised those who couldn't do anything, "Who is so angry that you think that if you kill me, you can bring down the Shocking Words?" ”

She asked slowly, there shouldn't be many people in this Jianghu who knew that the owner of the Amazing Word Hall was her, she was very curious about who this person was, and she was guessing in her heart.

When the man saw that she was distracted, he instantly concentrated all his strength on his right hand, and stabbed her in the chest with a dagger in his hand.

No one thought that he would be injured like this, and he was still thinking about attacking the target, Duanmu Rui pushed Su Wanyan away in a hurry, and the man's dagger stabbed into Duanmu Rui's waist, and the man himself was overforced, the arrow of the sleeve arrow stretched out, and a large stream of blood sprayed out from the wound, and he immediately swallowed.

Su Wanyan saw that Duanmu Rui was injured, and she was very grateful for a while, "If it weren't for you tonight, I might have suffered an accident." ”

This is true, Su Wanyan has always been vigilant, but she only woke up when she heard the sound of fighting outside, if it wasn't for Duanmu Rui, wouldn't those assassins have succeeded.

Duanmu Rui explained a little uncomfortably: "I also came to the temple to make snacks for the Queen Mother, but I happened to find a few masked people sneaking into the temple, so I followed." ”

He deliberately explained that it was because of his weak heart, it was a fact that he came to the temple to do his best for the Queen Mother, and it was not easy to enter the backyard during the day, so he had to come to Su Wanyan's courtyard at night to take a look at her, but he met those assassins.

Su Wanyan didn't know this, so she said, "That's a coincidence, and it's also my luck." “

She smiled again and said, "Count me to you, come, I'll look at your wounds." ”

Duanmu Rui turned around and said, "You helped me at the gate of the mansion last time, and I helped you this time, which is considered to be even." ”

Su Wanyan didn't say anything, helped him take off his outer robe, looked at the wound on his waist, and pinched it with his hand a few times through his clothes, fortunately, Duanmu Rui was standing at the time, and the assassin stabbed into the flesh diagonally, and did not stab the vital part.

The place where Duanmu Rui was touched by her hand seemed to have no pain, and his heart beat hard.

"Fortunately, it didn't hurt the internal organs, I'll go to the house and get some hemostatic medicine, you wait here."

Su Wanyan didn't know his reaction, she only felt that his body was very strong, and the place where her hand was pinched was very hard, her face was slightly red, and she walked back after speaking, but Duanmu Rui was still not worried about her safety and kept following her.

Su Wanyan heard the deliberately lowered footsteps behind him, knowing that he was worried about himself, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She took the medicine out, and Duanmu Rui stood outside the courtyard gate, the moonlight shining on his thin figure, looking very quiet and desolate.

"I'm afraid you're going to have to tear your clothes apart, or just take them off." Su Wanyan hesitated and said, her voice was softer than usual, as if she was a little embarrassed, and she used a little more force to hold the small porcelain bottle containing medicine in both hands.

But if not, the medicine will not work, her medicine not only has the effect of stopping bleeding, but also reduces inflammation and pain, which is necessary to prevent wound infection, who knows how many germs are on the knives of those assassins.

"You give me the medicine, and I'll go back and take it myself." Duanmu Rui's eyes kept staring at her, his gaze was slightly cool and soft, and his handsome face was covered with a halo in the moonlight, which made it even more elegant.

Su Wanyan's eyes were reluctant to move away from his face for a moment, and she hurriedly handed over the small porcelain bottle, "It's okay, it's more convenient." ”

Duanmu Rui took it, and his fingers inadvertently swiped over the back of her hand, and the slightly cool feeling made Su Wanyan's heart beat faster, and she pulled her hand back into her sleeve without a trace.

I don't know what's going on tonight, she thinks it's probably because she's alone with a man in the dead of night, and the moonlight is sultry, so she is so abnormal.

Just when the two of them were standing in the open space and were reluctant to leave first, they heard a sound of footsteps, Duanmu Rui dragged Su Wanyan behind him, and the two retreated into the shadows.

Soon the two men arrived, and at a glance they saw that they were two monks.

"I heard someone fighting here just now, why didn't I see anyone in a blink of an eye." One of them said.

Since there was an open space outside the courtyard gate, and there was no place to hide in a hurry, another monk saw two people in the shadows under the courtyard wall, and immediately asked, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" ”

The monk just now said: "You are watching them here, I will go to report to the abbot at this moment, there are nobles living in Beijing in this vicinity, if you sneak into the assassins, you will suffer." ”

If the abbot was alarmed, Duanmu Rui hurriedly stopped the monk's footsteps, and said indescribably: "We are not assassins, it's just that we have been determined for life, and we haven't seen her for a long time, so I will sneak in to see her." ”

Duanmu Rui kept Su Wanyan behind her, Su Wanyan had been in the temple for a long time, and she was afraid that the monks would recognize her.

The monk who had just spotted them urged his companion: "Go quickly, who knows if what he said is true or not, if it is an assassin, we will not be able to save our heads." ”

Duanmu Rui hurriedly begged again: "Master, we are really not assassins, you see ......"

He couldn't help it, so he hugged Su Wanyan and pulled her in front of him, but Su Wanyan's face kept buried in his chest.

"We're really just having a private meeting, and if you make a big show for everyone to know, we won't be able to meet anyone, and our marriage will fall through. You are all monks who practice the Dharma with great compassion, how can you bear to see us being torn apart? ”

The two monks glanced at each other, and saw that it was indeed a weak woman in front of his chest, and they believed him a little.

"And where did the fighting we heard come from? Do you see anyone suspicious? ”

Duanmu Rui pointed towards the woods behind the courtyard, "We did see a few people flying on the wall going that way, and they almost scared us to death. ”

The two monks went to the woods behind.

"What if they go and find the body of the assassin in the back?" Su Wanyan felt that Duanmu Rui was not very clever at adjusting the tiger from the mountain.

Duanmu Rui said, "When you go back to the room to get the medicine, my men have already disposed of the assassin's corpse and those bloodstains." ”

Su Wanyan was relieved that Duanmu Rui had to be separated from her and sneaked back to his residence quietly.

Sending Duanmu Rui away, Su Wanyan hurriedly walked into the courtyard, but when she walked to the middle of the courtyard, she heard the sound of talking from a room on the west side, and there was a man's voice.

She thought to herself that this courtyard was really lively tonight, she had just sent away the assassins and Duanmu Rui, and this was another group, it should be the people who came after Duanmu Rui and the assassins left this courtyard.

She knew the people who lived in the west wing, but recently this noble lady didn't live here, and moved to live with a close friend, so this room has been empty.

She walked to the window curiously, wondering who was inside, lest she would be confused when something would happen, maybe she and Chen Qiaoqiao couldn't tell clearly.

Inside was the intimate whispering of a man and a woman, who licked her fingers wet, poked a hole in the window paper, and peeked inside.

There was a candlestick burning in the house, and she could see the appearance of the two clearly, and she was shocked to find that the man was the prince Duanmu Ming, and the woman's face was raw, and she didn't recognize it.

I didn't expect the prince to be so shameless and run to the temple to have a private meeting with the woman.

She thought about it, it didn't seem right, when she was with Duanmu Rui just now, what did Duanmu Rui say, they were engaged, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they missed it very much, so he secretly came here to find her.

I didn't think it just now, but when she saw a man and a woman hugging and hugging, gnawing and kissing, she felt blushing.

But this is a private meeting, and she and Duanmu Rui are just talking sloppy.

She was about to leave when she heard the woman inside mention her name.

"People outside are rumoring that His Royal Highness always took the initiative to approach the third miss of the Su family a few days ago, and frequently asked her to go out, which made Yan'er feel uncomfortable."

The voice of the woman who called herself Yan'er was delicate and charming, and Su Wanyan had goosebumps on her body when she heard it.

"But His Royal Highness hasn't met her a few times, and you actually taste like this." The prince said lazily.

"That's because she doesn't know what to do, thinking that she looks like a city, she can hang His Highness's appetite, this kind of woman is the most annoying, the most scheming, His Highness is still a little away from her."

When Su Wanyan heard her say this, she turned around and went back to the house, found a bottle of good things from the box containing the medicine, put the medicine powder in the bamboo pole, put the bamboo pole into the small hole in the window, and blew the medicine powder into the house without the two of them knowing it.

After doing this, Su Wanyan went back to the house and fell asleep, and after sleeping for long, she heard a noise in the yard, and when she woke up, she found that the sky was dark, so she quickly got up and went out to see what the situation was, Chen Qiaoqiao also got up and followed her outside.

There were already many people standing in the courtyard, all looking towards the room where the prince was last night, she pulled Chen Qiaoqiao into the crowd, only to see a maid-like woman sitting on the steps crying, the cigarette who was intimate with the prince in the house last night was standing on the steps, and the prince did not know where to go at this time.

Su Yuxian stood in the courtyard and scolded the two women, saying that they were shameless and seduced His Royal Highness the Prince, and they actually did such a shameless deed in the temple.

The maid covered her face and cried bitterly for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Miss Su, it's not the maid who wants to seduce His Royal Highness the Prince, it's the maid who passed by here and was forcibly pulled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to do that reluctantly thing, and the maid didn't pull him up, which alarmed everyone." ”

When she said this, everyone was shocked, they didn't expect the prince to be so ridiculous, it was not enough to have a woman in the house, and he had to pull people into the house.

Only Su Wanyan knew that the medicine she gave last night, the man's inhalation would make him change his mood and lose his mind.
