Chapter 32: Murderous Heart (II)

Xuan Ming stood up from the table and ran out, and when he passed by Ming Long's side, Ming Long grabbed his arm, and Ming Long was very confused by his sudden nervous reaction:

"Hey, what's wrong?" Xuan Ming glanced back at him, pulled out the arm that was grabbed by Ming Long, and said:

"Jinse is in danger. It's not been long since the Phantom Pavilion stayed. If you want to go, come with me. After saying that, he turned his head and flashed out the door. Minglong was stunned for a moment, and just now he saw in Xuan Ming's eyes that he was worried, could it be because of Jin Se. Thinking about Xuan Ming's last sentence, I'm afraid he knows something. If even Xuan Ming thinks that the Phantom Pavilion is not safe, then Qingyan is most likely unlucky here.

Just thinking about it, he quickly got up and went to the back room to get his cloak and came back to put it on Qingyan, wrapping Qingyan's thin body tightly. Before Qingyan could understand Ming Long's intentions, he was picked up by Ming Long's waist and went out from the Phantom Pavilion along the road that Xuan Ming had left.

When the horses were galloping, Minglong turned around and looked at the Phantom Pavilion that he was gradually moving away from, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. After all, it was the place where he had lived for decades, and he hadn't thought about leaving, but this sudden parting with it was more like an exile, he was free at this time, but why couldn't he be happy.

Although it was already nightfall, all the heat gathered in the desert during the day was released at this time, echoing the wind of the desert night, forming bursts of heat flow, sweeping through Minglong's side, flying sand and stones, Minglong was shocked to find that his eyes were a little moist. And he actually pressed the little reluctance to the Phantom Pavilion that only existed in his body to the bottom of his heart, as if it had never existed.

In the middle of the water, a small courtyard is hidden behind layers of lotus flowers. The summer breeze blew gently, blowing a faint lotus fragrance, with a hint of dewy sweet taste. A man dressed in fine clothes, followed by several retinues, walked into the main hall deep in the courtyard.

"Your Highness, there are so many good places in the city, why do you want to live in this wilderness place?" Just after entering the door of the hall, an attendant couldn't help but ask. The man in a gorgeous costume stood with his hands in his hands, and the corners of his mouth were already smiling when he turned his head:

"I didn't expect that there was such a quiet place here, there were fewer people, but there was a little more artistic conception under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums. Chen Tong, what do you say? ”

The man called Chen Tong raised his eyes and glanced at the man in fancy clothes, and naturally understood what he meant. Wave the rest of the entourage out.

After only the master and servant were left in the room, the face of the man in Chinese clothes suddenly became serious, and he said in a low voice:

"The news has been released?" Chen Tong looked at the eyes of the man in Chinese clothes and said in a low voice:

"Let it out. But how could His Highness be sure that Shangguan Hong would definitely send someone to assassinate him? As soon as the words came out, he couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart when he met the man's sharp gaze:

"The subordinates are talkative." The man in the fancy dress tugged at the corners of his mouth, reached out and picked up the teapot and cup on the table, and said while pouring water:

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, just do what you have to do. Are the people out there ready? Chen Tong lowered his head even lower:

"The ambush has been laid. Just waiting for the killer to throw himself into the net. When the man in the Chinese costume heard this, he glanced at Chen Tong with slanted eyes, and said lightly:

"Don't be so full of words, be careful about it. Again, I want to live. After speaking, he took a sip of the water cup and continued, "Okay, you go out." ”

Chen Tong withdrew from the room, leaving only the man in Chinese clothes alone.

The man sat down on the chair facing the window lattice, looking out the window at the lotus leaves swaying with the summer breeze, and a sense of melancholy swept through his heart.

It has been more than a few months since he visited Shangguan Hong, and although he has gained something, it is not enough to kill him, so he can only make this decision as a last resort, and let his subordinates release the words, saying that they have obtained conclusive evidence, so that Shangguan Honggou will be forced to jump off the wall in a hurry. According to Shangguan Hong's temperament, he will never leave half of his face, and now that he is going to put him to death, how can he sit still and wait for death, he must have been unable to sit still, and he wants to kill him quickly. In this case, it is better to answer his thoughts, wait here, if he can capture his men alive, he will be able to touch the melons along the vine, no matter how he covers the sky with one hand, there is only a dead end.

However, such an approach is a gamble after all, and I know that you can only win and not lose. The more this is the case, the more bottomless the heart becomes.

The man in the fancy costume didn't know that while he was thinking this, a figure had already jumped up to his roof, just waiting for the night to fall and attack him.

The person lurking on the roof of the man in fine clothes was none other than Jinse, a dark night robe tightly wrapped around her body, and her hair was tied high above her head.

In fact, just after the afternoon, Jin Se had already sneaked into this lotus pond, and it was she who found that this seemingly inconspicuous courtyard had actually been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Jin Se naturally understood that the people here knew that she was coming, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was a well-designed game, but after thinking about it, the pavilion master also trusted himself by entrusting this task to himself, and besides, he had already decided to leave the Phantom Pavilion with Xuan Ming in a while, and regarded it as the last time to be loyal to the pavilion master.

Since the other party had already prepared, he couldn't let them invite you into the urn, so Jin Se also took advantage of the fact that everyone in the courtyard went to greet the man in fancy clothes, so he slipped onto the roof and hid some smoke and ammunition around the house, so that in case the mission failed, he could detonate the ammunition and escape, so as not to die here.

The night is like a poisonous snake spitting out the letter in its mouth, and as it spreads slowly, danger is also slowly approaching. Jin Se crouched on the roof, and through the gaps in the tiles, he could see the figure of the man in the fine clothes in the house. The silhouette of the side face, the figure of the body, always made Jin Se feel familiar.

Isn't it the eldest prince?

Jinse was startled by her own thoughts, but the more suspicious she became, the more she wanted to see clearly. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the jade pendant that the man in the fancy costume wore around his waist, the color and shape of the jade pendant, and the aqua blue tassel that adorned the jade pendant. That's right, that's the Great Prince's thing. In this way, the man could not have anyone else but the eldest prince.

Jin Se suddenly hesitated, last time she used a trick to stun the eldest prince and was able to escape, and now she is here to carry out the task of killing him, is this the pavilion master's intention. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible, the pavilion master didn't know that she knew the eldest prince, and this mission came suddenly, and the pavilion master just told her when, where, and who. At that time, he only thought that he would be able to fly away with Xuan Ming after completing this mission, and he didn't ask anything else.

In this way, it seems that I am careless. But now it's hard to ride a tiger, no matter what, you can only fight once.

Thinking like this, Jin Se turned downwards and wanted to jump into the house from the other side towards the window on the side of the lotus pond.
