CHAPTER XXV
Ling Yueyan saw that the night watchman walked away, demolished all the tiles in the room where Li Xiaogongzi lived, and was about to jump down, when suddenly his right ear moved, someone was walking this way, and the voice was Li Yunan.
"Hurry up, close it, your sister is here!" The three of them hurriedly closed the tiles again.
Zi Cicada looked into the distance, there was nothing in the darkness, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Miss, where is there anyone?" ”
Ling Yueyan pointed to the dark place, counted in his mouth, and after counting ten times, a bright light appeared in the originally dark place, and the two old women who walked in the front were holding lanterns.
Li Nannan was a little worried about the scene he imagined, and he was ready to lie on the roof, as long as he saw his brother being bullied, he would rush down.
I saw that Li Yunan, who was dressed up during the day, had already removed the hairpin ring at this time, her face was a little haggard, and she walked quickly to the door of Li Xiaogongzi's room.
"Wait!" Li Yunan's steps became lighter, he walked to the door and pushed open a crack, and saw Li Xiaogongzi lying on the bed sleeping soundly, his face was relieved, and he beckoned the people next to him to turn around and leave.
Li Nannan held the sword, his expression was unpredictable, this Miss Li made this whole play, but Ling Yueyan felt a little uncomfortable, obviously he still looked like he was worshipping high and stepping on low during the day, and he appeared such a weak side at night.
After Miss Li left, the purple cicada began to lift the tiles on the side again, Ling Yueyan didn't move, because she looked at Li Nannan's face was wrong, and kicked the purple cicada with her foot, and the purple cicada was still lifting it because she didn't know it.
"I..."
"I know what you're trying to say, don't make a decision so quickly, and wait and see." Ling Yueyan interrupted.
She knew what Li Nannan was thinking, Li Xiaogongzi may not be happy in Shuhou Mansion, but at least he has a life of fine clothes and food, but if he follows her, it may not be.
Ling Yueyan will naturally be very good to Li Xiaogongzi, but Li Nannan will definitely not think so, she will feel indebted, and she will definitely not let Ling Yueyan help in everything.
Li Nannan nodded hesitantly, and wanted to leave, but suddenly there was a noisy sound from the outer courtyard of Shuhou Mansion, and the three of them sneakily flew over to take a peek.
Jun Yezheng's eyes couldn't see them, so he shook his head helplessly, turned around and left the attic.
"I, Shude, have done my best to you."
The lights were lit in the outer courtyard, and it was Shu De who had just come back drunk and was noisy in the courtyard, and it was no surprise to see the appearance of the next person.
Miss Li's face was ugly, and she didn't want to quarrel with people in the yard, but Shu De seemed to want to pull her to understand, and continued to spit drunken words.
"I risked offending the eldest prince to take in your brother, but it's better for you to ask me to help you find the sister who caused trouble."
"It's good now, people climbed the high branches, and came back to beat you, if it weren't for me, ah, if I hadn't said good things for her in front of the great prince, she would have been able to get out of the city safe and sound?"
Miss Li couldn't help it, stepped forward to pull Shude, and was pushed to the ground by Shude with a backhand, and the subordinates hurriedly helped Miss Li up.
Ling Yueyan wanted to continue watching the excitement, but Li Nannan flew outside and walked outside, so Ling Yueyan had no choice but to follow.
Li Nannan walked on the street, walking very fast, very urgent, the purple cicada habitually disappeared, Ling Yueyan just followed behind slowly, did not chase, she guessed that the current Li Nannan may have burst into tears.
Although Shu De said drunken words, the credibility is still very high, when she found Li Nannan in the mansion and took it away, no one chased her on the road, and Li Shangshu died on the bright side because of Li Nannan's loss of honor in front of the palace.
In order to confirm this crime, the eldest prince would definitely detain Li Nannan, but they went all the way unimpeded and did not encounter obstacles.
Ling Yueyan didn't think that Miss Li would have such a deep scheming, and guessed that she would go to Li Nannan, it was nothing more than the situation at that time, so she could only leave Li Nannan in the mansion, and she couldn't drag down the Shuhou Mansion and save Li Nannan's life temporarily.
But Miss Li didn't think that Li Nannan was already facing collapse at that time, if she was a few steps later that day, she could only see a foot of white silk and a cold corpse.
"Miss, there are assassins!"
The assassin's sword stabbed towards Ling Yueyan with the cry of the purple cicada, because she was participating in the winter banquet and had a wound on her hand, she did not bring a sword, but she reacted quickly, took off into the air, and dodged the sword.
These people are strong in martial arts, she didn't hear any movement at all, it wasn't the group of people who used to assassinate her in the past, and she didn't have time to react more, and several black-clothed men who appeared out of thin air stabbed her vital points.
The purple cicada was entangled by several people, Ling Yueyan couldn't dodge, and a sword stabbed straight at her, but fortunately, Li Nannan arrived in time and injured the man's tendon with a sword.
"Who?" Li Nannan asked while fighting.
Ling Yueyan had been hiding, she also wanted to know who it was, these people were all dressed in black and masked, and she couldn't see anyone's face, at this time, another person flew from a distance, and she could feel that this person's martial arts were far above Li Nannan.
Although Li Nannan practiced martial arts the latest, he was the highest martial artist among the three, and now it was over, and the black-clothed man who appeared last quickly bypassed Li Nannan's attack and came towards Ling Yueyan.
Ling Yueyan had no choice but to use the Condensing Sky Step to maneuver with the man in black in front of him, only to see that the man in black was originally going to stab her in the chest, but he stopped halfway, and Ling Yueyan seized the opportunity to fly towards the purple cicada.
At this time, Zi Cicada had the least number of black-clothed people, and the black-clothed person behind him was still chasing, it was not a way to go on like this, Ling Yueyan frowned, and made a dangerous decision.
Turning around, facing the man in black, Zi Cicada was startled, and tried his best to kill the people in black around him, and flew forward, but was stopped by other people in black.
Just when the tip of the sword was still an inch away from Ling Yueyan, it was forced to stop, because a man suddenly appeared in front of Ling Yueyan, with his back to her, this dress was very familiar, it was the person who caught her during the day.
The man in black on the opposite side seemed to be relieved when he saw someone blocking the sword, and he was about to stab it hard, Ling Yueyan pushed the man away, not caring about his injured hand, and slapped the body of the man in black on the opposite side.
The man in black was slapped and made a sound, it's a woman! The man blocking the sword took this opportunity to pull out his sword and wrestle with the female man in black, and in the end, the woman in black was knocked to the ground by the man, and fell right in front of Ling Yueyan.
The woman's clothes in black were torn by the man, she covered her chest and shouted: "Retreat!" ”
All the men in black left quickly, leaving nothing, but Ling Yue developed some clues, the female woman in black fell in front of her, and there was an obvious tooth mark on the collarbone, not like it had just been bitten, but as if it had been left by some deliberate technique.
"How are you?" Zi Cicada wanted to step forward to see if Ling Yueyan was injured, but the man blocking the sword suddenly fell on top of her.
Li Nannan also walked over, and he could still see bloodshot in his eyes, and he was really crying just now.
The man blocking the sword fainted, his guard uniform was stained with blood, and Ling Yueyan's hand was also bloody, and he just punched out that palm, so that the wound on his hand that had just been scabbed was ruptured.
"Hurry up, in case they come back, it'll be over." Li Nannan said, and picked up Ling Yueyan's injured arm in a different direction.
These Assassins were very bold, it was only two alleys away from the General's Palace, and she was used to taking small paths, so no one around them found them.
But there is a very strange place, how did the Assassin know that she would take this path, or whether he would follow her all the way, it is impossible, if he followed her all the way, he would not hear a single movement, but he could only ambush here beforehand.
Seeing that Ling Yueyan hadn't come back so late, the little box was waiting at the door with his shoulders wrapped in gauze, and saw that Ling Yueyan was being supported by Li Nannan, and the purple cicada was still carrying a man, he was stupid, and shouted loudly to wake everyone in the house up.
Ling Yueyan was helpless, fortunately his mother was still in the temple, otherwise he would not be frightened to death when he saw such a scene, and the people hurried to ask for a medical officer.
"Go and call Aunt Mo." Ling Yueyan commanded, the man was stabbed deeply by a sword, and he fought with the woman in black for a long time, only Aunt Mo had a way to make him sober up in a short time.
Ling Xian and his father were still discussing things, and when they came out, they were worried that Ling Yueyan's hand was broken, and it was not good for this hand to be repeatedly injured, and it was afraid that it would leave a scar in the future.
"Oh no!" On the side, Jun Yezheng, who had just returned to the palace, saw Wei Yu rushing over.
Didn't he ask Wei Yu to investigate the reason for the poisoning of the girl's hand, why did he look like this, could it be that something happened to Yan'er?
"Something's wrong?" Jun Ye asked.
Wei Yu nodded vigorously, still panting because he was running too fast.
"Something happened to Yan'er?" Jun Yezheng asked again.
Wei Yu nodded again, and said intermittently: "Assassins, it's that group of assassins again, they found out that the prince is paying attention to Miss Ling." ”
Jun Yezheng raised his eyebrows, exuding a murderous aura all over his body, turned around and walked out, Wei Yu followed behind.
"I found out that Miss Ling's poisoning was related to Mrs. Hanqing, and I was about to go to Mrs. Hanqing's mansion, and when I left the general's mansion, I saw her being helped back."
"Hold?" Jun Yezheng asked coldly, his pace quickened a little, he had been hiding well before, and he had not been discovered that he was paying attention to Yan'er, because he had been too presumptuous recently.
Wei Yu nodded: "Yes, and..."
"Wei Yu, go back and count all the secret guards in the mansion, those assassins dare to appear in that area, there must be a hiding place, search me door to door."
In the past year, he has not been taken seriously by assassinating him several times, but this time it is different, this time it touches his reverse scales, and he has to find people out by digging three feet into the ground.
Aunt Mo came quickly, and after treating Ling Yueyan's hand injury again, she began to do her best to treat the man in the sword, while Ling Yueyan was called to the study by General Ling, and the door of the study was closed, and even Ling Xian couldn't get in.
She knelt on the ground, her father would not normally be so angry, not to mention that she was still injured, there must be something else.
General Ling turned his back to Ling Yueyan and held a secret letter in his hand, which had just been passed to him by his lieutenant.
He turned to look at Ling Yueyan who was kneeling on the ground, distressed and angry, and threw the secret letter in front of her.
