And those two night clothes, she always felt that it was a disaster, so she wanted to find a place to dispose of them. To be on the safe side, she first dragged Li Chengxuan into a piece of grass and moved the flowers and plants around him to form a natural barrier. She stood at a distance and looked at it, thinking that she had hidden Li Chengxuan very secretly, so she picked up two night clothes and masks and walked out of the courtyard.

By this time, the number of guards outside had gradually increased, and they were all restlessly patrolling back and forth, and Xiling Yue dodged until he returned to the place where he disembarked, and threw his night clothes and mask into the lake. She had already figured out that although the lake was stagnant, it was better than the wind on the autumn night, and it would blow clothes and masks elsewhere, which could be regarded as a trick.

Disposing of the trickiest things, she gradually calmed down, only to realize that there was an extra ship on the shore, presumably carrying the new guards to search here, and the rope was tied to the trunk of the tree. She went through the map in her mind, wondering how she could return to the small guest house safely, whether by land or by water.

Just when he was moving from time to time, a rush of footsteps suddenly came, and a guard searched this place. Xi Lingyue hurriedly hid behind a tree and watched a group of people walk towards the remote courtyard......

Li Chengxuan is still in that courtyard!

Xilingyue's heart instantly lifted, and she looked at the courtyard intently, lest the guards search Li Chengxuan out.

She was so anxious that she unconsciously held the trunk of the tree with her right hand, but inadvertently touched the reins of the ship! She had an idea, and quickly untied the reins from the trunk of the tree and jumped onto the boat.

This movement was so great that the guards' eyes were really attracted, and they drew their knives and ran to the shore. At this time, Xilingyue had already swung the oars, and the boat sailed far away in an instant, and the guards couldn't catch up with her, so they had to shout on the shore: "Quick, the assassin is there!" ”

Xiling Yue rowed vigorously, desperately rowing towards Penglai Island, and when the island was faintly in sight, she abandoned the boat and jumped into the lake to swim to the back of the island, and quietly went ashore.

This island is full of chrysanthemums, and there is no shortage of hiding places, Xilingyue quickly squatted down after coming ashore, and walked in the direction of the attic under the cover of flowers. To her surprise, there was no singing and dancing in the attic, but there was no sound of panic, and there was not a single guard nearby.

It stands to reason that there was a violent explosion in Li Qi's inner courtyard just now, and it must have been heard here, otherwise it wouldn't be so quiet. But it's too quiet, could it be that the ladies have returned to the shore?

No! Now that the situation on the shore is unknown, and the guards are searching everywhere, it is impossible for Li Qi to bring this group of delicate ladies back to the shore. In contrast, the island is clearly safer.

The more Xiling Yue thought about it, the more confused she became, only to feel that the island was a little strangely quiet, and she was about to get up to check it out with the boldness, when she suddenly saw movement not far away—it was two servants who walked to the place where she had just landed, and sneakily threw a hemp bag into the lake.

The sack looked heavy, not too small, and I don't know what it contained, but it looked like ...... Corpse! These two words suddenly appeared in her mind, and she immediately covered her mouth and nose, almost exclaiming.

"Ahh Someone still exclaimed, right in Xilingyue's ears. She looked up and saw a maidservant come up to her and ask them, "What are you doing?" ”

Xilingyue immediately lowered her head, lest she find out what she was doing, but it was still too late, the maid had already stepped on her hand, and her expression was suspicious and wanted to look down at her.

Xilingyue panicked and hurriedly made a silent gesture towards her, but the next moment an accident happened - a dart suddenly shot over, hitting the center of the maid's eyebrows.

The servant girl fell down in convulsions, and her face was still terrified. Xiling Yuejing quickly retreated at the right time and hid in the chrysanthemum bushes. As soon as she hid, the two men had already run over, and one of them probed the maidservant's snort and whispered, "It's out of breath." ”

Another person sighed: "It's just that she is unlucky, who let her bump into us to do something." ”

"Throw it into the lake?" "No, when the corpse floats up tomorrow, the guards will search it vigorously, and there will be no hiding in this lake."

"Then don't worry about it, there are assassins tonight, just push it all on their heads."

"Okay, let's go!"

The two of them said goodbye and left the place in a hurry.

Xiling Yue shuddered and sat down among the flowers. She didn't know what those two were doing, but the maidservant died too innocently! It was the first time she felt that death was so close to her, just a fraction of a second! If the maidservant girl had lowered her head, or if the flower had been shorter, her whereabouts would have been exposed, and the end could be imagined!

Xilingyue was shocked into a cold sweat, only to feel that there was no thrilling moment this whole night! She sat in place and calmed down for a long time, slowly crawled over to check, and saw that the maid had a dart stuck in her eyebrows, and she was already dumbfounded and opened her mouth to break her breath! Blood flowed down the wound into her eyes, like a ghost with a pair of red eyes, and a faint fishy smell filled the air, almost overshadowing the fragrance of chrysanthemums.

Xiling Yue couldn't bear to look at it anymore, raised her hand to close her eyes, and said softly: "Although you didn't die because of me, it is also related to me." If you have a spirit in heaven, bless me with a safe escape tonight, and I will surely find out the murderer for you. ”

She solemnly kowtowed to the maidservant, said "offended", and quickly took off her soaked clothes and changed into the maidservant's outfit. The maidservants of the Jiedu embassy will wear a wig bun to wrap all the hair, and Xiling Yue also does the same, coiling her wet long hair on the wig bun. As a result, her wet hair was covered so that no one could tell that she had just swam out of the water unless they looked closely.

When she was ready, she put a wet suit over the maidservant's corpse, kowtowed to her again, and walked cautiously in the direction of the attic. It wasn't until she got closer that she realized that there was no one on the island, but all the guards were guarding in front of the attic, protecting the ladies who went to the banquet. And the singing and dancing girls, musicians, and maidservants were not so good, so they could only stand outside the attic and blow the cold wind, looking at the red flames on the other side and shivering.

Xilingyue consciously stood at the end of the handmaiden team, bowed her head and did not say a word, everyone was panicked, and no one noticed her. After a while, a guard leader landed on Penglai Island and beckoned them to be sent back to their residences, and Xiling Yue followed a group of singing and dancing girls and maidservants to board the boat and return to the shore of the back garden.

At this time, the wounded and corpses were being cleaned up on the shore, and there was still chaos in sight. In this situation, it was impossible for her to quietly return to the small guest house, so she had to lie that she was the maidservant sent by Mrs. Gao to serve Jiang Yunyi. When the leader of the guards heard this, instead of embarrassing her, he personally escorted her back to the small guest house.

Along the way, the leader of the guards was extremely attentive, and there was no lack of inquiries about Jiang Yunyi's situation during the conversation. Xilingyue really didn't have the energy to perfunctory him, so she pretended to be frightened and didn't speak, and the guard saw that he couldn't speak, and he felt bored, so he didn't inquire anymore.

When the two of them walked to the vicinity of the small guest house, Xilingyue excused herself to be a subordinate and it was not easy to enter through the main entrance, so she went back to the place where she met Pei Xingli, took out her dress from the hidden place, and quickly changed it.
