Chapter 15: The Assassins

Before I knew it, Qiu Luoxue had been in this world for a month. During this period, she gradually adapted to life here, and her ability to handle government affairs also improved a lot under Xia Zimo's teaching. After all, people who have lived in the era of big data will naturally not be too bad in their learning ability. But there are too many government affairs, although Xia Zimo has minimized her burden, but there are still a lot, and it feels like she has returned to the life of the three points and one line in the college entrance examination era.

No, today she handled government affairs until late, and then returned to the room from the study, ready to rest, and there will be an early morning tomorrow.

"Elsie, this group of people, really, this son is going to kill you sooner or later." As soon as Qiu Luoxue entered the room, she seemed to remember something and cursed loudly and went out.

"Childe, what's wrong?" Biyu heard her cursing and hurriedly ran over and asked.

Qiu Luoxue went out and walked into the yard, and happened to meet Jasper who was coming towards her, and hurriedly grabbed her.

"Shhhh Qiu Luoxue whispered, with a nervous expression.

"Who?" Jasper asked.

"I don't know, as soon as I entered the house, I saw someone on the roof through the mirror, sneaky, probably not a good person." Qiu Luoxue said, it turned out that the sudden curse she had just now was deliberately done to avoid the suspicion of the person hiding on the roof.

"What then?" Jasper also became nervous.

"I definitely can't stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight. Let's go to the Yanwang Mansion, but, in order not to make them suspicious, we still need to act, you follow my words. ”

Seeing that Biyu nodded as if she didn't understand, Qiu Luoxue started her performance, "I'm really angry with my son, why is it that now, the streets and alleys are still spreading the good manhood of my son?" ”

Biyu followed her words and said, "Childe, don't be angry. It's not to blame those people, it's not because Lord Yan is always unclear with you. ”

"I'm mad at the mention of this." Qiu Luoxue raised her voice again and said, it seemed that she deliberately let the hidden person hear it.

"Xia Ziyan, I have to screw your head off today. Hmph, let's go, let's go settle accounts with him. Saying that, Qiu Luoxue went out violently, looking very natural.

"Brother, this person is so fierce, I'm afraid."

On the roof, two black figures were lying on it, the younger of the two said.

"Don't be afraid, I heard that this prime minister is also a waste, and he doesn't know martial arts at all. We killed him, and we had three thousand miles of gold. The older one said.

"But, brother," said the young Assassin again, ...... "he is gone now." ”

"Huh? Oh yes, chase ......"

Saying that, he got up from the roof, but almost fell down because of the unevenness of the roof, and finally came down from the top all the way, and after coming down, he didn't forget to take his little brother next.

When Qiu Luoxue arrived at King Yan's mansion, Xia Ziyan was laughing with the beauties in his mansion, behaving debauched, and laughing constantly.

Qiu Luoxue looked at it from a distance, and said with a disgusted face: "Hey~ It's really unsightly." As she spoke, she looked at the housekeeper next to her and asked, "Have you princes always been like this?"

The butler smiled awkwardly and said, "This ...... The prince's affairs, the little ones dare not say much. ”

"Tut-tut, I thought his affair was faked, I really thought that I thought so when my brain was pumped."

"Xia Ziyan, you bastard, come over to me and see if I don't kill you today." Qiu Luoxue shouted from afar, and walked towards Xia Ziyan as she spoke.

The housekeeper didn't expect her sudden move, and it was too late to stop her. Why did the good guy scold? Could it be that the Prime Minister is really with my lord...... Oh my god, that's a curse!

The housekeeper may have heard a lot of gossip and thought of this aspect. Thinking about it, he still chased after it.

"Lord Wang, who is that? How dare I call you by your name. The woman beside Xia Ziyan asked.

When Xia Ziyan heard the voice, he looked over, at first he was too far away to see clearly, but now that the figure was getting closer and closer, he saw it clearly, and said, "This voice, this figure, it's very familiar."

In a blink of an eye, Qiu Luoxue came to Xia Ziyan's side, because she was afraid that those people would also follow her to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she didn't say anything, and dragged Xia Ziyan away.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Xia Ziyan was dragged by her all the way and asked puzzledly.

Qiu Luoxue didn't speak, and dragged Xia Ziyan all the way to his bedroom. Qiu Luoxue has also been to the palace a few times, and she probably remembers the road. After entering, Qiu Luoxue closed the door with a "bang", and no one was allowed to come in except her and Xia Ziyan.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Xia Ziyan asked.

"Shh Qiu Luoxue made a silent gesture, and the whole person looked nervous.

Then she pulled Xia Ziyan over again, pressed him against the screen, and observed if there were people around.

"You...... What are you doing? Xia Ziyan was confused by her strange behavior.

"Ah, shouldn't you be ......" Xia Ziyan seemed to have some ideas, so frightened that he quickly tightened his clothes, looked at Qiu Luoxue vigilantly and said: "Luo Xue, don't be like this, I only like beautiful women, I don't like beautiful men, let's ...... This is a no-no. ”

Qiu Luoxue only observed the surrounding environment, and did not expect that her actions would cause misunderstanding. At this moment, he had finished observing, and when he heard Xia Ziyan's words, he let go of him with disgust and said, "Don't think about it, you are not my dish."

"So what are you doing here?" Xia Ziyan asked, also letting his guard down.

"There are assassins." Qiu Luoxue said.

"Assassins? Where? Where? ”

"In the Prime Minister's Mansion, on the roof of my room, I don't know if you have followed me here now." Then Qiu Luoxue told Xia Ziyan about the situation just now.

On the periphery of the Yanwang Mansion, two black figures dangled around.

"Brother, aren't we going in?"

"Go in? Did you go in? These rich families are all high-walled compounds, and it took a long time to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, and this Yanwang Mansion is much more heavily guarded than the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"What then?"

"In this way, we will stay outside and wait for him to come out, and it will not be too late to do it." Then, the two waited in an inconspicuous place outside the palace.

"You can stay in the palace tonight, be safe, and talk about the rest tomorrow." After Xia Ziyan listened to Qiu Luoxue's statement, the inherent smile on his face disappeared, and was replaced by a solemn expression.

Qiu Luoxue couldn't help but be a little scared when she saw him with such a heavy expression. Is it really a serious matter? You can't really kill me!

The night in the palace was also quiet, and Xia Ziyan arranged some guards to strengthen the vigilance, and the tense atmosphere became even stronger. Perhaps to match this unusual atmosphere, the moon was also darker than ever, and dark clouds walked around it, refusing to leave.

A tall tree in the palace suddenly moved. Tonight was supposed to be a windless night, and this sudden change could not help but make people suspicious. It's just that it's a secluded place, so no one notices. But the moonlight witnessed this abnormal movement, and in the moonlight, a black figure flew away from the tree, skimming the full moon in the sky, almost merging with the surrounding dark clouds, leaving only an indiscrete shadow.

"It's really bold and reckless, and he dares to attack the prime minister." Xia Zimo heard Xia Ziyan say the news early in the morning, and said angrily.

"The younger brother took someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to check, and the roof did have traces of being turned over. If Luo Xue hadn't discovered it in time, the result would have been uncertain. Xia Ziyan said.

"Find out who is behind it." Xia Zimo said.

"Yes." Xia Ziyan said, "However, the top priority now is to send someone to protect Luo Xue first, he doesn't know martial arts, he doesn't have the slightest ability to resist, if something like this happens, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get out." ”

Xia Zimo pondered for a while and said, "Yes, let Nie Yuan stay by his side."

"Nie Yuan?" Xia Ziyan said in surprise, it seemed that this person was very unexpected. Then he smiled again and said, "Brother Huang really attaches great importance to Luo Xue, and he actually activated Nie Yuan."

"Who is Nie Yuan? Very powerful people? Qiu Luoxue didn't know where this Nie Yuan was, so she asked curiously.

"We'll see you later." Xia Zimo said.

They waited in the main hall for a while, and the man named Nie Yuan appeared.

"My subordinates have seen Your Majesty." As soon as Nie Yuan came in, he saluted Xia Zimo, but his salute was different from ordinary people, kneeling on one knee. The title is not "minister", but subordinate.

"Let's be flat." Xia Zimo said, and Nie Yuan then stood up.

Only then did Qiu Luoxue see his appearance clearly, wheat-colored skin, angular facial features, looking both sunny and hard, this kind of person looked like a person who practiced martial arts.

Xia Ziyan's eyes are affectionate, Xia Zimo's eyes are profound, and Xu Zhonghang's eyes are gentle. And this person's eyes are just one word - cold. It's very cold, giving people a feeling that it is not easy to approach, he doesn't seem to have feelings, no matter who he is, he is the same cold, when he looks at the emperor, although he respects, he is not afraid.

When he stands, his posture is upright and temperamental, giving people a feeling of inviolability. He and Xia Zimo can also feel inviolable, but they are not the same. Xia Zimo is the kind of royal majesty and royal bearing. And what Nie Yuan has is murderous. That's right, it's murderous, although it has been subdued a lot, but it can still be felt.

But! Although cold and murderous, he still can't resist his handsomeness. This face is also a perfect face. With thick sword eyebrows and a pair of single eyelids, he didn't feel that his eyes were small, and the murderous aura on his body made him even more ruthless.

The clothes on his body are black as a whole, and the leaking part of the liner is gray and white, which matches the black robe very well. The collar is raised high, and because the neck is long, it looks even better. The position of the arm is a three-dimensional pattern in the shape of a tiger made of a substance similar to iron, one on the left and one on the left. At the shoulder is a three-dimensional lotus-shaped pattern, and a round accessory is attached underneath. The outermost jacket is as off-white as the lining, so the iron black lotus is just right on top.

Qiu Luoxue carefully observed Nie Yuan from head to toe, and felt that he should not be a mediocre person, looking at this dress.

Sure enough, at this time, Xia Zimo spoke and said, "Qiu Qing, this person is Nie Yuan, and he is the commander of my shadow guard, and he will protect your safety in the future."
