Chapter 7: Countenance
If she wants to be admitted to the Imperial Court Academy, she has to work hard, and she has to practice quickly.
On the third watch, Yun Qingyi hadn't fallen asleep yet, and his mind kept thinking about what happened on the street during the day, and that boy looked extraordinary, not like an ordinary person. Moreover, he was robbed and killed in broad daylight, which shows that this person's identity is very special. Could it be......
Yun Qingyi was thinking about it, when he heard some noise on the roof, and suddenly the whole person became nervous. Are there assassins? Thinking of this, Yun Qingyi lightly took his clothes and put them on, wanting to go out to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, as soon as she got dressed, she heard the sound of the door bolt being pried open outside, and then a dark figure stood next to her bed.
"Who?" Yun Qingyi asked sharply. The black figure did not speak, his face was tied with a black cloth, and he could not see his face, and his body was slightly thinner, but he was very tall. Yun Qingyi judged that this assassin should be a man, and saw that he was holding a bright knife in his hand, and slowly raised it to face Yun Qingyi's face.
"Who the hell are you? Why kill me? Yun Qingyi's voice was already a little trembling at this time.
She was now unarmed, and her body was too weak to beat this person. It's only for someone to be slaughtered, but before she dies, she just wants to know who wants to kill her.
"Princess Qi, I'll send you to the West Heaven today!"
To Yun Qingyi's surprise, this assassin's voice was actually a woman's voice, although she had disguised herself as a man's voice, Yun Qingyi could still hear the woman's sharpness.
"You're a woman?" As Yun Qingyi spoke, he stretched out his hand and tore off the curtain on the bed, and in front of his eyes, there were fragments all over the ground in an instant. Yun Qingyi also jumped out of bed at this time, ran out of the door with all her might, and shouted at the top of her voice.
"There are assassins!" As soon as the words fell, she felt a chill on her neck, and when she looked down, the knife had already reached her neck.
Yun Qingyi didn't dare to shout anymore, she knew that if she shouted again, she would definitely have to be in a different place.
"You let me die, who are you and why did you kill me?" Yun Qingyi asked into the eyes of the man in black.
The man in black snorted with his nose, as if he was very disdainful of answering Yun Qingyi's question, and just as her hand was clutching the hilt of the knife, and Yun Qingyi was about to die, three darts were sent out from the roof opposite.
The three darts were choked by the Assassin's throat, as well as the chest and wrists, and if she didn't dodge, one of them would definitely be hit. So at the last moment, the Assassin withdrew his sword, dodged back, and then leaped onto the rooftop, disappearing into the night.
Yun Qingyi stood in place and let out a long breath, the moment just now was really thrilling. But who sent the three darts? As soon as Yun Qingyi turned his head, he found Meng Yeqi standing behind him. He was dressed in a navy blue robe, and there were two darts in his hand that had not been sent out, and he was smiling softly at the clouds.
"You! You saved me just now? Yun Qingyi looked at Meng Yeqi in disbelief.
"How are you going to repay your savior?" Meng Yeqi chuckled and asked.
Yun Qingyi frowned and looked at Meng Yeqi, this man actually appeared in his courtyard twice and three times, and he came and went freely. Tonight, he seemed to know that he was going to make trouble with the assassins here, could there be a secret behind him? Or, what is his connection to the Assassins?
"What's wrong? Scared silly? Seeing that Yun Qingyi didn't speak, Meng Yeqian frowned and struggled with something there, and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of her eyes.
Yun Qingyi knocked his hand off and looked at him with a suspicious face, his eyes full of exploration and doubt.
"What do you have to do with that Assassin? Do you know her identity? ”
Yun Qingyi then remembered that when the assassin was about to kill him just now, he said a word, and the assassin was obviously coming for her, the princess of Zhun Qi. Could it be that this assassin has some kind of grudge against Meng Yeqi, and wants to kill himself to relieve his hatred? Could it be that this assassin was recruited because of his identity as the princess of Qi?
"I saved your life, and you don't thank me, and you suspect that I have something to do with the Assassins. How can there be such a truth in the world? Meng Yeqian put his hands behind his back and said in a frustrated tone.
"Who bothered you to save me? Besides, what is your intention in coming to me in the middle of the night, not in your own house? If you hadn't had anything to do with that Assassin, how would you have known she was coming to kill me tonight? How could you be so accurate and shoot a dart at that time? You're clearly in the same league as the Assassins! You say, what exactly do you want to use me? ”
Yun Qingyi pointed to Meng Yeqi's nose and said all the imagination in his head. Meng Yeyan was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect this little girl to be sharp and sharp, and her brain was also very clear. It seems that she is really suitable to be her own princess of Qi, with strategy and courage.
"When you say that, I'm speechless. I can't say, I miss you in the middle of the night, let's come and see you. Or, I stay in your yard every day just to catch a glimpse of you. ”
Yun Qingyi was angry by Meng Yeqi's words, but he didn't expect him to look serious, cold and indifferent, and he was such a scoundrel in his bones, he could actually say such provocative words. Although she was now a princess-to-be, they had only met three times, and he was so frivolous. If you don't give him some color to see, he will definitely look down on him in the future.
"Ascend to the disciple! Dare to take advantage of Miss Ben! Yun Qingyi spoke, and as soon as he raised his hand, he came towards Meng Yeqi's front door. Although Yun Qingyi's current body is not good, she still remembers the previous moves, so in a hurry, she made a move, but her strength was insufficient.
Meng Yeyi just flashed slightly, and easily dodged it, and then Yun Qingyi slapped it again, this time Meng Yeyi reached out and grabbed Yun Qingyi's slender wrist and gently took it into his arms. Yun Qingyi's whole body fell into his arms, his chest was solid and warm, and Yun Qingyi smelled a faint musky scent.
"You need to practice your two tricks and embroider your legs, you still need to practice well!" Meng Yeqian lowered his head and looked at Yun Qingyi in his arms and said. Yun Qingyi was suddenly attracted by the light of his eyes at this time, and he lowered his head and looked down at Yun Qingyi up close. His eyes were very deep, as if reflecting the light and clouds of the sky, Yun Qingyi had never seen such beautiful eyes, and he was lost for a while. And Meng Yeqian also looked at Yun Qingyi intently, and neither of them spoke, just staring at each other silently.
"Miss!" At this time, Poria ran out of it. Although the fight just now was not loud, it also woke up Poria, and when she woke up, she hurriedly went to Yun Qingyi's room, and saw that no one inside ran out.
Yun Qingyi was called by her like this, and woke up like a dream, only to find that she was leaning on Meng Yeqi's arms.
"You let go!" Yun Qingyi pushed with both hands, Meng Yeyan wanted to reach out and grab her shoulder, and the two pulled like this, and the film of the birthmark that was originally attached to Yun Qingyi's face was rubbed off.
Under the gentle moonlight, her face was fair and delicate, without any flaws, and her big eyes were beautiful and moving. Meng Yeqian was taken aback, but she didn't expect the birthmark on her face to be disguised.
"You!" Yun Qingyi also felt that the membrane on her face had fallen off, and in a hurry, she covered her face with one hand.
"The birthmark on your face turned out to be fake!" Meng Yeqian said with a smile.
"It was originally true, but then I made it fake!" Yun Qingyi saw that he couldn't hide the matter, and there was no need to hide it from Meng Yeqi, so he simply said it directly.
"Oh? What do you mean? Could it be that you are deliberately disguising it? Do you have any purpose in making yourself ugly? ”
Meng Yeqi is really becoming more and more curious about Yun Qingyi, when she first saw her for the first time, she was impressed by her temperament and stretching out her hand, but she didn't expect this little girl to be so smart. In this deep mansion, I know how to hide and how to protect myself.
"The birthmark on my face was originally poisoned, but I found out later that I had cured it. However, I haven't found out who poisoned him, so I have to continue to pretend to be ugly in order not to make that person suspicious. ”
