Walk to the palace gate.

"Stop." A loud cry came from the mouth of the guard guarding the palace gate, and he could hear Mirage wrinkling his eyebrows, but she was wearing a mask, and others couldn't see it.

The father-in-law beside Yan Yi scolded: "Bold, who gave you the courage to speak to the little prince like this, come on, pull it down." "Executed.

But no one moved, and this scene is very intriguing.

"Yo he, I still think I am the emperor's favorite, and I don't look at my own situation, just enjoy this last time while my head is still in my head!" The guard sneered and said contemptuously.

Yan Yimian said without changing his color: "Let me go?" ”

"What if you don't let it?" The guards received hints to embarrass the little prince, so he worked extra hard in order to behave well and get a reward from above.

"Kill."

A man sprang out of the shadows, his sword fell, and the man had returned to his original position.

"Bang." The sound of the corpse falling to the ground sounded, and the remaining guards realized that their heads had been killed, and immediately stared vigilantly at the few people in front of them, they didn't see who did it, and thought that the person in front of them did it, but they didn't know that the executor was someone else.

"Let's go."

Yan Yi took the lead and walked into the palace, and no one dared to stop him.

Nonsense, life matters, what tasks and instructions are all on the side at this time.

Arrived at the Yanyi Prince's Mansion all the way, and I don't know if the people behind it didn't arrange it, or if the original plan was changed by a scene at the palace gate, in short, there were no moths.

Longyi Palace.

The palace where Yan Yi lived in the palace was solemn and luxurious, the entire hall was silent, there were not even maidservants, all cultivators above the spirit master level.

Yan Yi sat on the main seat, and Mirage and Zhongli sat down.

Yan Yi was the first to speak: "Thousand... Brother, I still need seven days to keep filial piety for my mother, and after the third period, it doesn't matter if I am not in this palace.

And in the past seven days, I'm afraid it won't stop, my people will be guarding the periphery, unless they can't stop it, they need two people to make a move, Yan Yi is here to ask the two. ”

"This is my mission, I need to know the specific situation of the various forces in the palace and the situation of the people who may pose a threat to you, the more detailed the better."

Knowing oneself and knowing the other party can have the bottom in your heart.

"Okay, I'll get it for you later." Yan Yi had already faded from the pretended calmness at this time, and he was even more relieved after listening to the request of 'Thousand Princes', and felt that it was worth it even if he spent half of the savings left by his mother this time.

Yan Yi, who was relaxed, glanced at the mirage from time to time, how to look at it and wondered, the other party was obviously not big, not to mention the strength, and his mind was still delicate, which inexplicably gave him a feeling that he could be completely trusted.

This is the first time that there is such trust in a person who has just met.

The doubt, trust, appreciation, and a hint of adoration in those eyes were miraged......

Children always can't stand the loneliness, and they can't stand the sitting, Yan Yi, so his father-in-law arranges a rest in the side hall, so he plays happily.

Mirage shook his head helplessly, no matter how much he thought about it, he was still a child, and it was good to think of hiring someone to protect him.

It's night.

The little prince Yanyi returned to Longyi Hall for the first night after his mother's burial.

There were three groups of people in total, and they were exterminated by the people left to him by Yanyi's mother and the people sent by his father to protect him, and the number of people was more than ten lost.

Second night.

The number of people has tripled, Yan Yi has lost dozens of people, and the number of people who protect him is less than two hundred.

Yan Yi didn't think about going to his father, but he was told that his father was in retreat.

On the third day, Yan Yi, who was in a hurry and had no choice, found the mirage, "Little brother, if it goes on like this in less than seven days, my people may be wiped out, but how can it be?" ”

"You want to protect them?" Mirage asked rhetorically without answering.

"That's right, they are all people left to me by my mother and father, I can't let them die in vain."

The little man still retains a good heart in this palace that eats people and does not spit out bones.

"Then tell them all to withdraw and hide and save their lives. Since I was hired by you, I have to do my part, and I will be able to protect you. Mirage calmly spoke as if it had its own soothing magic, and Xiao Yanyi's heart slowly returned to his stomach, no longer in a hurry and at a loss.

"Go ahead." At the end, Mirage also touched Xiao Yanyi's head, which made the latter smile in an instant, and jumped out to explain the matter.

Third night.

The assassins had already touched the dormitory, and found that there was no one, and they were a little confused.

The assassins who had entered the no-man's land only saw their targets when they touched the main hall, and there were only three people.

Is this ready to be caught on the back of your hands or is it confident? Looking at the expressions of a few people, it doesn't look like they're waiting to be caught.

For a while, neither side spoke or moved.

"Bang." The sound of the door slamming shut frightened the assassins.

"Huh, you dare to kill people with such guts, should you say that you are not afraid of death? Or do you want to die? ”

Kill people behind closed doors.

On the night of the slaughter, the arrows of slaughter, the arrows were not missing, and even one arrow pierced two or three people, and the assassins were already cold before they even had time to scream.

also surprised Zhong Li's drunkenness, and scared Xiao Yanyi's slightly open mouth and couldn't close it.

"I didn't expect Jing'er, your bow and arrow to be so powerful, much more subtle than when I practiced before, so shouldn't the things I mentioned to you before also be put on the agenda?"

"What's the matter?" Mirage asked without thinking, and she really didn't remember.

Zhongli drunk: "......"

"Hehe, you say it, you say, I'll listen." Mirage grinned.

Zhong Li nodded her forehead drunk, and explained helplessly: "You, that's what I said before about being an archery instructor, I think teaching those soldiers is enough for them to learn for a lifetime." ”

This is not flattery, as far as the archery skills of the current mirage are concerned, a genius will have to learn for ten or eight years to succeed, and ordinary spirit masters or great spirit master soldiers may not be able to learn it after practicing for a lifetime.

"This matter, I have no opinion, this mission is completed, go back and ask the second master if there is anything else, if not, you can go." She also needs to practice and hone new archery skills, and now she is just eating her old book.

Looking at Xiao Yanyi, who was still slightly open, Mirage gently stroked the latter's head and asked softly, "Are you scared?" ”

Xiao Yanyi nodded, shook his head again, opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say anything.

"Don't be afraid, my brother will protect you, this brother next to you is even more powerful than me, if you're afraid, don't look at it in the future, okay?"

"With my brother here, I'm not afraid." There was a stubbornness on the pale little face that didn't want to back down.

A fire burns the corpse.

She doesn't want to, it's not like no one is cleaning the battlefield anymore!

Since then, they have slaughtered and burned corpses night after night.

It doesn't feel wonderful at all.

Finally about to leave this bloody palace, Mirage let out a long sigh of relief, a little depressed, a little confused.

Outside Huoyan City, Xiao Yanyi looked at the place where he had stayed since he was a child, a little reluctant, a little lost, he knew that this time, I was afraid that it would be difficult to see his father again.

He knelt down in the direction of the palace and kowtowed three times to thank him for his years of nurturing.

"Let's go, brother." Xiao Yanyi, who was crying, opened his eyes wide to prevent the tears in his eyes from slipping down, which also made the little guy suffer.

"Don't be sad, this is the most correct choice, you have other relatives, even if it is for your mother, you have to live well, she must be looking forward to this." Mirage comforted the little boy in front of him softly, but he didn't know that a few years later, Xiao Yanyi gave him more help than a friend.

Ziyan flew all the way east, and Mirage was going to go back to Bihai Academy first to explain her whereabouts, but she never thought that she would be stopped in the air halfway, judging from the other party's domineering momentum, she already roughly knew who the other party was, but she still had to ask clearly.

Without humility or arrogance, he asked, "May I ask why you stopped us?" ”

The person headed by the other party replied politely: "Don't worry, little boy, we are ordered to greet people, according to what Soul Jade pointed out, it is exactly this direction, I don't know which one is called Yan Yi?" ”

Mirage held Xiao Yanyi down and asked rhetorically, "How can I believe what you say?" You must know that there are a lot of people looking for Yan Yi now, and they are all the same rhetoric as you. ”

Xiao Yanyi only reacted at this time, the little brother was helping him confirm the identity of the other party, even if it was the task reason, he was very moved, since the mother concubine left, this is the first person who is not related by blood to care about his own safety, and silently remembered it in his heart.

The other party immediately handed Mirage a jade pendant, and said: "This is one of the double pendants that the head of the family gave me and is exactly the same as the jade pendant owned by Yan Yi's mother, you can compare it." ”

Xiao Yanyi took out a piece of jade pendant from his neck, it was really the same, the material and texture of the jade matched.

It seems that the other party is indeed a member of the Xia family as she thinks, and it stands to reason that her task of handing over people to the other party at this time will be completed.

But she was always unsteady in her heart, and she couldn't tell the feeling, Mirage frowned, how to test the other party?

Zhong Lizui seemed to see the idea of Mirage, and reminded in a low voice: "Jing'er, if you can't be sure whether the other party has malicious intentions, you can ask them to swear by blood, if they or the person behind them really have a problem, swear that their cultivation will never progress, see how they choose?" ”

Mirage's eyes lit up, and after reminding her, she remembered that the oath on this continent was proved by heaven, and if she didn't fulfill her oath, she would be judged by the oath.

So he said aggressively: "If you want me to believe that you are also very simple, I swear that you are really good to Yan Yi, otherwise you will stop at the moment." ”

"You... It's just unreasonable, how could our Xia family be nice to Yan Yi, Yan Yi, come here, and go home with your uncle. ”

Xiao Yanyi didn't move, although he was small, he could see that the little brother was really treating himself well, and he was really helping himself, and the other party, he didn't know if he was a good person, so if he wanted to choose to believe in one party, he would definitely choose to believe in the little brother.

"Since you won't do anything bad to him, then this oath won't threaten you and others, so why don't you make it?

Or are you weak-hearted? You are not the person personally sent by the head of the Xia family at all, but someone who doesn't want Xiao Yanyi to return to the Xia family, right? ”

I have to say that she really guessed the truth.

"Do it, kill them all."

In the face of Mirage's reluctance, the other party is obviously impatient.
