The night came, Xiao Zhen put down what he was doing, avoided the guards, and quietly left the prince's mansion, he specially wore a night clothes, covered his face, and almost blended with the night in the dark night.

He followed Qingxi, all the way to the southwest, passing through Dongfu City, and finally stopped at the Hou Mansion of Yongxiu County.

The gate of the Hou Mansion was closed, Xiao Zhen walked to the foot of the wall on the side, jumped slightly, and turned into the wall from outside the wall, the guards of the Hou Mansion were not strict, Xiao Zhen groped from the front yard to the back yard, and he did not encounter a few guards along the way, I heard that Huan Ling has not yet married, it stands to reason that the Hou Mansion should have no female dependents, but the main room in the backyard and the east and west wings are all on the candles, as for Xie Zheng...... Huan Ling once said that she was an old friend's sister, and that was a guest, and since she was a guest, she should live in a guest room.

Xiao Zhen jumped to the top of the verandah on the east side, wanting to find out where the guest room was, but he unintentionally saw a maid holding clothes out of the west ear room, walking through the corridor to the outside of the main room and pushing the door in.

Could it be... Xie Zheng lives in the main house?

Seeing that the maid entered the house, Xiao Zhen also flew to the roof of the main house, and really heard the voice of Xie Zheng and the maid talking here.

At that time, Xie Zheng was lying on his back in the bathtub to wash his body, Yuzhi came into the west room with clean clothes, Xie Zheng asked casually: "Why did you pick up clothes for so long?" ”

Yuzhi explained: "I don't know who locked the door of the ear room, and the slave looked for the key for a long time, so it was delayed," and as he spoke, he hung the clothes in his hand on the shelf next to the bathtub, and then turned around and put the dipterocarp on the desk.

Xie Zheng tilted her body, leaned on the side of the bathtub, supported her forehead with her right hand, looking a little lazy, she looked at Yuzhi, and suddenly asked, "Yuzhi, how old are you?" ”

Yuzhi lit the incense, turned around, and replied, "The slave is just twenty this year. ”

"Twenty ...... It's really the year of peach and plum," Xie Zheng felt sad in her heart, when she was as old as Yuzhi, she was arranged by her aunt and cousin to marry Shen Wenhe, whom she had never met, and she sighed lightly: "I am four years older than you, and I am twenty-four." ”

Yuzhi leaned in and whispered, "Wrong, the lady is nineteen this year." ”

After she finished speaking, she smiled at Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng was also amused by her, she almost forgot that she was now borrowing the identity of Xie Zheng, the lady of the Xie family, and she was naturally nineteen years old.

Xiao Zhen on the roof could only hear the whispers of the two people in the room at this time, but he couldn't hear what the two of them were talking about at all, he instinctively moved his body slightly in order to listen carefully, and he didn't want to unintentionally step on the bricks and tiles under his feet to make a slight sound, but he didn't notice it at all.

But Xie Zheng had already heard it, she was in the bathtub, sat up straight vigilantly, Yuzhi reached out and dipped the water in the bucket, and then said: "The water is a little cold, go and tell them to add some hot water." ”

Yuzhi was about to leave, Xie Zheng immediately stood up and grabbed her wrist, Yuzhi looked back at her with some puzzlement, she pretended to be calm, and said, "No need, I've been sitting in this bucket for a long time, my legs are sore." She looked up at the roof, and Yuzhi knew that there was someone on the roof, so she hurried to dress her.

"Lady stay careful in the house, the slave will meet the assassin when he goes out," Yuzhi lowered his voice and Xie Zheng said, "I'm afraid you are not his opponent." ”

Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, "Does the lady know who it is?" ”

"It's you and I who meet today."

"Prince?" Yuzhi was extremely surprised, and Xie Zheng said: "He came here to test me, so we will plan and dispel his suspicions." ”

Yuzhi understood, and then raised her voice, "It's not early, and the lady should rest." ”

Xie Zheng walked towards the door, pretending to be bored, and said, "It's only been a while." ”

As he spoke, he walked outside the door, and sure enough, she walked out, Xiao Zhen swung his sword at her, Xie Zheng turned his back to him, pretended not to know, and walked into the courtyard by himself, and Yuzhi followed closely behind, taking this move for her openly.

Xie Zheng heard the sound of fighting behind him, and then he turned around and saw Yuzhi and the assassin fighting together, his face was shocked, and he shouted, "There are assassins!" Come on, people! There are assassins! ”

Yuzhi was really defeated by Xiao Zheng, and after a few moves, he was defeated and collapsed to the side, Xiao Zheng then went to kill Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng pretended to be frightened, and hurriedly ran out of the courtyard, and then deliberately tripped and fell on the steps, when she looked back at Xiao Zheng, Xiao Zhen had pointed the sword directly at her neck, only a finger long, and it was against her throat.

"Who are you? Dare to break into the Hou Mansion at night! Xie Zheng was short of breath and looked even more flustered.

Yuzhi also shouted: "If it's for money, if it's enough for you, don't hurt my lady!" ”

Xiao Zhen said coldly: "I'm not for money, just for your life." ”

"Why?" Xie Zheng raised his head and looked at him pitifully, "I have never had a grudge against anyone, who are you and why did you want to kill me?" ”

"I want you to make a move with me, whether you win or lose, I will never hurt you in the slightest."

Xie Zheng frowned, and he was about to burst into tears, "I have no power to restrain the chicken, where is your opponent, if I really fight with you, it will not be self-defeating!" ”

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but say, and immediately took a step forward, putting the sword on Xie Zheng's neck, with a posture that was about to wipe Xie Zheng's neck immediately.

Xie Zheng's eyes were gurgling, crying so much that the pear blossoms were raining, Xiao Zhen was just to test her, and had no intention of killing her, but seeing her crying like this, he couldn't help but feel compassion, hurriedly threw the sword in his hand, and reached out to wipe the tears on the face of the tearful man in front of him, and said: "I have no malice, don't cry." ”

Before the words fell, Xie Zheng suddenly grabbed Xiao Zhen's arm and bit him the wrist, Xiao Zhen snorted twice, but he didn't struggle, let her bite hard.

He looked at Xie Zheng, was silent for a while, and said, "You and I are clear." ”

After that, he jumped on the ridge of the roof, flew off the wall, and left the Hou Mansion as if he had fled, and he didn't even bother to take the sword that was thrown on the ground.

Yuzhi hurriedly ran over, helped Xie Zheng up, and asked, "Lady, are you okay?" ”

Xie Zheng wiped his tears, curled the corners of his lips, showed a smug smile, and then looked at the sword on the ground, and said, "Put this sword away, no accident, he will come to me tomorrow." ”

It had been a long time since Xie Zheng called for help, and only then did a few members rush over, Yuzhi was a little annoyed, "The assassins have all run away, so you guys are here!" ”

You look at me and I look at you, I don't dare to squeak, Yuzhi asked again: "Why are there just a few of you?" ”

"When the county marquis went out in the evening, he went out with a lot of people, and there were not enough people in the house, so we were all guarding in the front yard, so we couldn't come in time."

Yuzhi looked at Xie Zheng in surprise, Xie Zheng thought for a while, and didn't say much, just sent them away and went back to the room.

"Yuzhi, don't let the county marquis know about tonight's matter."

"Yes."
