Chapter 55: The Prince's Counterattack
"The Prince's Mansion is in chaos, and recently Wang Yushi has also come to me."
By the window, Baili Jingchen said slowly.
"Oh."
Xuan Zhige replied indifferently.
"Aren't you curious about the answer?"
The ink-colored eyebrows of the hundred miles of dust were slightly raised upward, and the meaning of curiosity and curiosity surged up to the slight wrinkle of the eyebrows.
- She turned a blind eye to all of this.
Xuan Zhige jumped down from the window, and the hand that wanted to open the deadbolt stopped on the wooden lock, and the starlight was like a leak, falling on her side face, and a faint smile appeared firmly.
I saw her lips slightly opened, and she tilted her head slightly confidently and calmly and said, "If you want to tell me, naturally you don't need me to post it and ask you to answer, isn't it, Third Prince?" ”
The closed air in the room seemed to freeze at this moment, quickly cooled, and turned into cold and hard ice beads, about to fall and smash on Xuan Zhige's body.
There is also the same cold, it is a hundred miles of shocking eyes, as if a sharp arrow has passed through the hard air, crossed the desert of three thousand miles of snow, and instantly arrived at the heart of Xuan Zhige's back, but for some reason it stopped abruptly and fell to the ground with silent dust.
Baili Zhenchen's lips sketched a cold smile, and he said slowly without emotion: "Wang Yushi came to show favor to this king, but this king doesn't want to agree." ”
He doesn't like the feeling of being guessed all at once, and he doesn't like the feeling of being led by the nose after being guessed, so he doesn't understand why he compromised.
It gave him some of the almost eerie irritation.
Xuan Zhige didn't care about this.
There was a hint of contemplation between her eyebrows, and then she said in a quiet voice: "He was originally attached to the prince. ”
Baili Jingchen was not surprised at all that she had such a judgment, but instead changed her posture, slowly paced towards her, and said lightly: "The prince is just a little anxious recently. ”
"Because of the Queen?"
Xuan Zhige heard rumors.
Today, when it comes to Baili Shock, you can sit down.
An imperceptible yin owl flashed in Baili's shocked eyes, and then nodded slowly and said, "Yes." ”
"Above the court, it is normal to see the wind and rudder."
Xuan Zhige smiled, turned around, and asked again: "Then how are you planning to make the most of this chess piece?" ”
"He Wang Yushi can stand in the court for many years, so naturally there are still some henchmen. However, these henchmen belong to the princelings, and even if he comes to surrender, it is difficult to guarantee that he will turn against him when I am not good. Such a person is not needed. Only destroy it. ”
It is rare to talk to people about their political opinions, but today, I said it clean in front of her, and I don't know if it's right or wrong.
"Lord Wang, why don't you borrow a knife to kill someone?"
Xuan Zhige's lips were filled with a faint smile, her eyes were peaceful and serene, it was hard to imagine that murder, this kind of words came out of her mouth.
Baili Jingchen intuitively felt that she had an innate calmness and peace, which brought her closer to clear reason.
At that moment, Baili Jingchen suddenly felt uneasy, and even he didn't understand where the uneasiness came from.
"How do you borrow a knife to kill someone?"
Baili Jingchen actually understood Xuan Zhige's intentions, but he narrowed his long eyes, waiting for her to tell him the beginning and end.
He wondered if her plan had been thought of with him.
"The knife is the prince."
Xuan Zhige raised his eyes clearly, his gaze was calm, but in the air of a room, there were turbulent waves.
Baili Jingchen also met her gaze, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and hummed softly: "Oh? Sounds like it's interesting. ”
As soon as the words fell, Baili was shocked by the sharp ears, as if he heard something, his face changed, and he pounced on Xuan Zhige, throwing her to the ground without knowing it!
At the same time, an arrow pierced through the window lattice, and a buzzing sound of "Zheng-" nailed to the tea case where the dust was located before!
There are assassins!
Xuan Zhige suddenly felt that her back was cold, and she broke out in a cold sweat, her eyes stayed on the end of the arrow that was still trembling slightly, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she fell into deep thought.
Seem...... This archery is very familiar with the terrain of the palace? Or even know what to do where Baili Shocking Dust is?
At this time, the door was pushed open by the guards in a panic, and when he saw Baili Jingchen and Xuan Zhige fall to the ground, and saw the damage to the window edge and an arrow on the tea case, he was shocked and shouted: "Someone! Escort! There are assassins! ”
Xuan Zhige frowned - the guards came, and they were a little faster.
"You happen to be nearby?"
Xuan Zhige got up from the ground and asked pretending to be relaxed.
"Yes! Beixuan told me to be on guard, the palace has not been particularly peaceful recently, I saw that the prince went in and closed the door, so I didn't dare to disturb, and guarded not far from the door. It didn't take long for a while, and then something went wrong. ”
The guard said with some annoyance.
"I see. Presumably, this assassin saw that he had missed, and he would not make any more moves for a while, and the guards had arrived, so you should go and rest for a while. ”
Baili said these words in a nonchalant manner, as if he had never doubted why the guards had appeared in such a timely manner.
The guard hesitated for a moment, and saw that Xuan Zhige gave him a look that was sure to make him retreat, so he sighed and said, "Yes, Lord Wang." ”
The guard went out and walked away.
Xuan Zhige and Baili Jingchen were left, looked at each other, exchanged glances, and quickly closed the doors and windows.
It was Baili Jingchen who opened his mouth first.
"Do you think the guards are suspicious?"
Xuan Zhige neither nodded nor shook his head, just pondered for a moment and said slowly: "This can only be done by someone who is familiar with the palace and you is familiar with it. ”
Baili nodded in agreement, but said, "Don't you think it's a little strange in this?" ”
"Yes."
The light drifted away, dappling a layer of frost on the ground.
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, the shadows of the trees were shaking, and there was only one room in the palace with bright lights.
A dark shadow swept over the roof, rested, squatted on the roof beam, bent over, took a bow, wiped the strings, and stringed out!
An arrow shot straight at the two black shadows in the room!
"Bang!" With a bang, the two black shadows in the room fell down in response, and they didn't even have time to snort!
The black shadow's half-covered lips first showed a hint of surprise, and then the joy of success, but a little unsure, hesitated, or jumped down!
He approached the door step by step, and looked left and right for a long time with great vigilance, before stretching out his fingertips and gently pushing the door open, what appeared in front of him were two life-size marionettes who fell to the ground and couldn't get an arrow!
"Oops!"
He let out a low roar and was about to turn and leave, but he was already pressed to the heart by a cold sword!
"Want to escape? It's late. ”
Behind him stood a ghostly figure of Baili Shocking Dust, and that sword was held in the hand of Hundred Miles Shocking Dust!
The guards who had been in ambush around them immediately swarmed up and surrounded the Shadow Men in the center!
"The prince really has a good plan."
The black shadow man sneered helplessly, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
"I was assassinated by you three times, and there is no strategy, are you a little sorry for my name as a prince? Pull down your veil and let me see, who are you holy? ”
Baili Shocking Dust approached the end of the sword to the mouth of the man's heart, and with a slight force, bright red blood oozed from the end of the sword, and soon a layer of blood spread on the man's night clothes.
The dark shadow man's brow furrowed in pain, and then a flash of despair flashed in his eyes, and his hand reached the end of the sword!
When Baili was shocked and secretly said that it was not good, he had already thrust the end of the sword hard, and plunged it straight into his chest!
Blood splattered!
I could only hear an extremely muffled snort, and the assassin couldn't stand it!
The fingertips of Baili Dusty lifted his veil even more quickly before he fell to the ground!
It's the guards.
Sure enough, it was him.
"Why, to assassinate this king?" Baili looked coldly at the guards who still had a trace of breath on the ground and asked.
"Entrusted by men...... Faithful deeds ......"
A desolation came out of the guard's lips, and soon he bit down on the deadly poison hidden between his lips and teeth, and died.
Since he decided to commit suicide, he will definitely not reveal who the master behind him is. The only way to do that was to see if he was carrying any important items with him. ”
Xuan Zhige glanced at the guard, and casually wanted to search for his belongings on his body, but was pulled back by Baili Shock!
The moment she raised her head, she found that the guard's body quickly melted away like water!
If it weren't for Baili Shocking Dust to pull her back, I'm afraid she would have melted away!
What the guards bit down just now turned out to be the poison of the corpse!
What kind of employer is so ruthless that if you fail the mission, you not only have to kill yourself, but you also don't even leave a corpse!?
Xuan Zhige and Baili Jingchen glanced at each other, and their eyes showed complicated emotions.
can assassinate the prince of the dynasty, and in such a simple and rude way, I'm afraid that only the prince who has no brains and is mediocre and incompetent.
"Baili Shock, what are you going to do with this matter?"
Xuan Zhige frowned and asked.
"What can I do? Report to the officer? Or ran to his father, cried, made trouble, and hanged himself? Obviously not reliable. ”
Baili Jingchen smiled slightly and said, "Remember." Sooner or later, one day, they will all be returned to him. ”
"I think some of the princes are jumping off the wall in a hurry."
Xuan Zhige looked at the puddle of corpse water on the ground and said thoughtfully.
"It's not just a dog jumping off the wall. I'm afraid that it's not impossible to do anything out of the ordinary. ”
Baili Jingchen smiled coldly and said slowly.
"Are you going too far?"
Xuan Zhige frowned and asked.
"When he burned my house and left me here, he should have expected the fate of today."
Baili looked at the corpse water coldly, and walked away with an expressionless face.
