What he didn't tell Du Yanwan was that he suspected that the people who assassinated Du Yanwan and the people who snatched the box last time seemed to be in the same group, so the reason why Du Yanwan was assassinated was probably related to the case of the Ninth Princess.

So from Zhao Yan, you may be able to find some clues.

"Does Lord Zhai know where Zhao Yan is being held?" Du Yanwan realized at this time that she didn't know where Zhao Yan was locked up, she just came out like this, it seemed that she was a little inconsiderate, fortunately, it was Zhai Yeqi who met tonight, if she met someone else, it would be another story.

Zhai Yeqian nodded, as soon as he wanted to speak, his eyes flashed, as if he noticed something, he grabbed Du Yanwan's waist, and took Du Yanwan to hide in the tree in the blink of an eye.

Du Yanwan was caught off guard and was taken up the tree by Zhai Yeqi, so frightened that his hands and feet directly wrapped around Zhai Yeqi. If she is not careful, she will fall down, and she will be crippled if she does not die!

The woman's soft body was tightly attached to his body, and the fragrance on her body was also drilling into her arms for a while, Zhai Yeqian forcibly resisted the urge to throw Du Yanwan away, and took Du Yanwan to hide behind a branch.

I saw that in the courtyard where the two of them were standing just now, dozens of black-clothed people suddenly appeared, and the black-clothed people were communicating in the courtyard, they were communicating in their secret language, and they didn't make a sound at all.

Du Yanwan couldn't help but be curious and looked at them, but those branches were a little in the way, blocking her vision. In order to see what the killers were doing, she quietly moved in Zhai Yeqi's arms, and her lips inadvertently rubbed Zhai Yeqi's Adam's apple, and both of them were stunned.

After Du Yanwan reacted, he found that Zhai Yeyan was looking at him with an iron face, as if he had taken advantage of him.

Pulling the corners of his mouth stiffly at him, Du Yanwan wanted to tell him that he didn't mean to.

However, Du Yanwan also knew that he had a black history in Zhai Yeqi, and even if he said it, he wouldn't believe it.

Well, in that case, she shut up.

Du Yan didn't dare to move, but the man in black below didn't know what he was communicating, and he didn't leave for a long time.

The two were trapped in a small space, and the atmosphere became ambiguous for no reason. Du Yanwan only felt that something was wrong with herself, and thought to herself why the people below hadn't left, if she didn't leave, she would be embarrassed to death.

After a while, the black-clothed people finally finished communicating, and then left the courtyard one by one, and went separately.

Du Yanwan dared to breathe a sigh of relief, just now she was afraid that she would leak her breath and attract the attention of the killers, but fortunately the killers were gone. But soon her face stiffened again, because she had been in the tree for so long that she had not moved, and her whole body was stiff, especially her arms and legs.

Zhai Yewan took Du Yanwan to the ground, and after letting go of his hand, Du Yanwan fell directly on Zhai Yewan's body because of numbness in his hands and feet.

Embarrassed in her heart, Du Yanwan felt that she could explain it, she really didn't mean to take advantage of Zhai Yeqi!

He tugged at the corners of his mouth at Zhai Yeyan and pulled out a smile.

The corners of Zhai Ye's forehead jumped, "You still don't get up?" ”

Du Yanwan smiled stiffly again: "My feet are numb, slowly." ”

The kung fu killers who talked to the two had already gone in to find Zhao Yan, Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian stood outside for a while and then entered the prison together, and the guards of the prison had been stunned by the medicine of the people in black, so Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqian did not receive any obstruction when they entered.

After entering, Zhai Yeyan took Du Yanwan and went straight to Zhao Yan's cell.

Zhai Yeqian was very familiar with this place, and the people here were also familiar with him, so he quickly found Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was shrinking in the corner, and in front of her stood an indifferent man in black, who was holding a knife to kill her.

"Help!" No matter what Zhao Yan knew or not, Du Yanwan didn't see a fresh life disappear in front of her eyes.

Zhai Yeyan's eyes were cold, and he took a hairpin from Du Yanwan's head and shot it in the direction of the killer.

The killer didn't expect anyone to appear, and he was a little surprised for a while, but the next second he opened his eyes wide, because the hairpin that Zhai Yeqian threw out just now was injected with internal force, and the speed of movement was particularly fast, and before the killer could react, the hairpin had already been inserted into his throat.

Kill with one hit.

"Ahh Where had Zhao Yan seen such a bloody scene, and she immediately screamed in fright.

Zhai Yeqian coldly glanced at Zhao Yan who was screaming, Zhao Yan was so frightened by Zhai Yeyan's glance that she didn't dare to scream anymore, but her body kept shaking.

Zhao Yan hated and feared Zhai Yeqi in her heart, hated because Zhai Yeqi had debunked her, and was afraid because Zhai Yeqi itself was terrifying.

Although Zhao Yan didn't continue to scream, because of the movement she made just now, it also attracted a lot of people. The people in black were the first to arrive, and their task was to kill Zhao Yan, so when they met Du Yanwan and Zhai Yeqi, the two people who were in the way, their first thought was to kill them too.

Seeing so many black-clothed people coming at once, Zhao Yan's face turned pale with fright, she wanted to call, but thinking of Zhai Yeqi's cold eyes just now, she immediately shut up.

Du Yanwan looked at the sudden appearance of so many black-clothed people with some nervousness, she brought the bracelet that Shen Yue gave her for self-defense, but she didn't know how long it would last, the guards of the prison should have heard the movement, and if she held on for a while, it was estimated that reinforcements would arrive.

Besides, isn't there still Zhai Yeqi here?

I don't know why, Zhai Yeqi felt very safe in her.

The killers also knew that there was not much time left for them, so they started to do it without saying much nonsense, Zhai Yeyan pushed Du Yanwan aside, pulled out the soft sword, and opened up for a while, "You go and look at Zhao Yan." ”

After he said a cold word to Du Yanwan, he confronted those killers.

The long sword pierced the sky like a rainbow, the man's movements were chic and fast, the killers could hardly get close to him, so he was suppressed, Du Yan rushed to Zhao Yan's side after taking a look, she had to look at Zhao Yan, and she couldn't let Zhao Yan be killed.

Although there was Zhai Yeyan in front of them, there were still a few fish that slipped through the net in the back, and after the killers came in, they approached Du Yanwan and Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan saw a touch of viciousness in her eyes, and directly pushed Du Yanwan out.

It's all because of her, if it weren't for herself, how could she have suffered such a sin? So go die!

Du Yanwan glanced back at Zhao Yan in disbelief, she didn't expect that there would be such a person in the world, she was kind enough to save her, she didn't know that she was grateful, and she would take revenge on her?

The situation was critical, and there was no time to delay, Du Yanwan turned the bracelet in his hand, and several poisonous silver needles shot out of the bracelet.

As soon as the silver needle sank into the killers' flesh, the effect of the medicine kicked in, and the killers' bodies slowly collapsed.

The crisis was resolved, Du Yanwan breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around and glanced at Zhao Yan coldly.

Zhao Yan was stunned by Du Yanwan's glance, and she hung her head and didn't dare to look at Du Yanwan.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps sounded outside, "Assassin! ”

"Catch the assassin!"

The guards of the prison can be regarded as reacting.

Seeing that the guards of the prison were coming, a smile appeared on Zhao Yan's face, she didn't have to rely on Du Yanwan now, and even if Du Yanwan was dissatisfied with what she had calculated about her just now, so what? Can you still kill her in front of the prison guards?

Just as she was thinking about it, she felt a pain in the position of her chest, and when she looked down, she found that a short arrow was inserted into her chest at this moment. Blood continued to flow out of the wound, and Zhao Yan had a look of shock on her face.

She is unwilling, unwilling to die like this!

She struggled to keep her eyes open, but her body softened and slowly slid against the wall.

Du Yanwan didn't expect that there was someone in the secret, and used a hidden weapon against Zhao Yan, seeing that Zhao Yan was hit by a hidden weapon, she quickly walked over, "How are you?" ”

Zhao Yan looked at Du Yanwan with her eyes, her lips moved as if she was saying something, but her voice was too small Du Yanwan couldn't hear it at all, so she couldn't help but lean over a little, trying to hear what she wanted to say.

"Small, be careful......"

Be careful of what?

Du Yanwan didn't hear what she said below, and Zhao Yan had already lost her breath.

His face was a little ugly, and Du Yanwan turned his head and glanced in the direction of Zhai Yewan.

The killers saw that Zhao Yan was dead, and the guards of the prison were rushing in this direction, so they also retreated as soon as possible.

Almost at the moment when all the killers evacuated, the guards of the prison rushed over, and they came with angry faces, but when they saw this scene in front of them, they were so shocked that they put away the anger on their faces.

"Lord Zhai?"

As a close confidant of the emperor, Zhai Yeqian often does the emperor's errands, and he has been to this prison a lot of times, so the consul of the prison quickly recognized Zhai Yeqi.

He immediately put away the anger on his face, and bowed respectfully to Zhai Yeqi, "I don't know why Lord Zhai came here late at night?" Saying that, he swept the situation in the prison, there were several corpses of black-clothed people lying on the ground, and there was a lot of blood on the ground, and at a glance, you could see the traces of the fight just now, and how could there be a woman in the cell?

And what's going on with Zhao Yan? Seems to have passed out in a coma?

"I was ordered to investigate the case of the Ninth Princess, and found that Zhao Yan might be involved in the case, so I came to ask her about something, but I didn't expect to encounter an assassin assassinating Zhao Yan."

The consul nodded when he heard this, he naturally believed in Zhai Yeyan's character, and judging from the situation at the scene, it was indeed the case, "It's just this girl?" ”

Why did Lord Zhai take a girl out at night?

"She was involved in the case of the Ninth Princess, so she specially brought her over to have a look." Zhai Yeqian said, his eyes swept towards the consul.

The cold gaze fell on the person like substance, and the consul only felt that the temperature around him had dropped at that moment, and he didn't dare to continue to say anything, so he had to nod, "I see." ”
