Chapter 163: The Masked Assassin

Shen Ruoxiao walked slowly, admiring the beautiful scenery on the capital road and watching all kinds of exquisite food on the roadside stalls.

There were a few gurgles in his stomach, and Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but speed up his pace.

The meals in the palace are really delicious, but most of them are some tall ingredients, she will only feel tired if she eats too much, in the final analysis, she still likes to eat snacks the most.

When I go back today, I'll let the water make a sweet surface for yourself.

Thinking of the spicy and fragrant taste, Shen Ruoxiao felt that his saliva was watering.

Seeing that he was already close to the palace, Shen Ruoxiao directly copied a shortcut, and only needed to turn two more times before he could go home.

But just as she walked into the alley, a masked figure appeared in front of her.

At the same time, the bright knife made a bell, and the ears of the people who shook them hurt.

"Who?!" Shen Ruoxiao's ears moved slightly, and he became vigilant in an instant.

With her intuition, the person in front of her is not good, and he is definitely here to find fault!

The masked man in black didn't say anything, but just rushed towards him with a cold smile, and the big knife in his hand was neatly unsheathed.

Shen Ruoxiao turned around and dodged lightly, and then raised his leg and kicked towards the shoulder of the man in black.

That person's martial arts were very good, and he jumped directly onto the two-meter-high wall, and raised his big knife with both hands to slash down towards Shen Ruoxiao.

If it were another woman, I am afraid that she would have been arrested a long time ago, but Shen Ruoxiao did not panic at all.

She tapped her toes slightly, and in an instant she moved past the man's shoulder, and the man in black slashed into the air, almost breaking his own foot.

As if insulted, the man in black moved faster and faster, and several silver needles shot at her at the same time, overwhelming.

Shen Ruoxiao usually drinks hot spring water, so his five senses have long been beyond ordinary people.

Even if the speed of the silver needle was fast, in her eyes, it had slowed down, and it was very easy to deal with it.

She stretched out five fingers, closed her eyes and pinched them forward, and the five poisonous silver needles landed firmly on her fingers.

With a whoosh, the silver needle was returned directly, and the man in black on the opposite side couldn't dodge, and was hit by a needle in the shoulder, and suddenly his entire arm was paralyzed.

"Shhh The man in black let out a cry of pain, and his entire arm began to move.

Shen Ruoxiao directly pursued the victory, took out the soft whip he usually prepared, and threw it at him mercilessly.

With a snap, the first one fell short.

The man in black escaped with his super perseverance, but as Shen Ruoxiao moved faster and faster, it was like a shadow behind him, and he couldn't dodge it anymore.

The soft whip with spikes fell on the man in black, piercing him with blood!

"Say, who sent you? Who is your master?! ”

Shen Ruoxiao knew that he had to keep a living mouth first, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to keep a secret.

"You don't need to know, you just need to know that you have to die today!"

The voice of the man in black was dark and a little hoarse.

He took out a sandbag from his sleeve, took out a machete and split it in half, and in an instant a huge smoke rose in front of the two of them.

Between the smoke, he arrived opposite Shen Ruoxiao silently.

By the time Shen Ruoxiao reacted, it was already too late, and she was slapped heavily on the chest, causing her to stagger back a few steps.

There must be a lot of paralyzing medicine added to this smoke, so breathing, eyes, and hearing are greatly restricted, it seems that this man in black wants to kill himself even if he riskes his own life!

What is a grudge or a grudge, and is it worth such a big deal for someone?

Shen Ruoxiao groped in the space, and quickly took out an antidote pill and ate it, and suddenly her mind cleared up.

Taking out his hidden weapon, Shen Ruoxiao launched it one after another, and the black man's injuries became more and more serious, and his movements slowed down.

"Where to escape?!"

The man in black seemed to be still thinking about ventilating the news, and threw a handful of cigarettes at Shen Ruoxiao again, and then prepared to escape.

Shen Ruoxiao whipped it over, and he only had time to scrape off a corner of his clothes, and by the time the smoke cleared, the person had already disappeared.

There was a lot of blood on the ground, and it seemed that the man in black couldn't run far, but today she was already injured, and if she met an accomplice, she might not be able to beat it.

Thinking about it, she walked to the main street as fast as she could, and hurried back to King Hao's mansion first.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Xuanyuan Hao's voice sounded behind him: "Where did you go just now?" How did I look for you for a long time and didn't find it? ”

Shen Ruoxiao smiled coldly after hearing this: "You are looking for me? Inside the palace, aren't you already gone? I walked back on my own! ”

This prince knew that he was an afterthought, why didn't he come and wait for him to pick him up, he had already arrived at the palace at this time, what was the use of saying this?

Seeing Shen Ruoxiao's ugly face, and still holding his chest, Xuanyuan Hao was taken aback.

"You, you're hurt?!"

Shen Ruoxiao's face was obviously bloodshot, especially the white and tender wrists, which were also soaked in blood. Second Chinese Network

"I, I was also in a hurry, I thought you would stay in the palace for a while so I came back first, and then I also went to the palace to look for you, but I learned that you had already left, I walked around the street for a while, did I see you......"

The more Xuanyuan Hao spoke, the lower his voice became, and the guilt in his heart flooded.

Shen Ruoxiao thought about it, he really didn't lie to himself.

It may be that when he was walking the path just now, Xuanyuan Hao was looking for himself on the main street, so the two of them missed it like this.

"It's okay, today I met an assassin who came straight to me for some reason, so he was injured a little, but he was more seriously injured." Shen Ruoxiao walked inside weakly.

Xuanyuan Hao's heart jumped heavily when he saw this, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

"You mean there are assassins, specifically against you?! But you didn't provoke anyone! Xuanyuan Hao frowned, thinking in his mind.

What is the situation to attack such a woman?

"Yes, and I really couldn't stand it that time, I looked at it that it was professionally trained, and I wanted to take my life directly, if it weren't for my skills, I'm afraid I would have confessed today!"

Thinking of the previous scene, Shen Ruoxiao still had palpitations.

Xuanyuan Hao knew that this matter was not simple, so he hurriedly pulled Shen Ruoxiao: "Don't talk about this first, you are injured, I will give you some medicine first." ”

Shen Ruoxiao didn't take it this time, and sat down directly under the stone table next to him.

Xuanyuan Hao took several good wound medicines, and brought warm water to wipe the wounds on her hands, and her movements were extremely gentle, as if she were treating a treasure.

Shen Ruoxiao couldn't help but raise his head to look at the man in front of him, and found that his serious appearance at this time was completely different from his usual appearance.

Especially the handsome facial features, which are very charming.

Unconsciously, Shen Ruoxiao's cheeks were hot and crimson, and his heartbeat was inexplicably faster.

"What's wrong? Isn't there something uncomfortable? ”

Xuanyuan Hao rarely saw Shen Ruoxiao as obedient as a little sheep, and his heart was also soft at this moment.

The usual little girl is like a cat with teeth and claws, and the words she says are also sharp, which looks pitiful and distressing at this time.

"Thank you for Ning'er's business today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be helpless. ”

Xuanyuan Hao thanked him solemnly, with a serious look on his face.

He knew that the person who poisoned him must have known that the meaning in the palace was absolutely helpless against this poison, so he dared to be so bold, but this person must not have expected that Shen Ruoxiao would be willing to be that bird.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

"You say, could it be that the poisoner is secretly watching us? The people behind the scenes already knew that you saved Ning'er, so they thought you were nosy, so they wanted to kill people?! ”

Shen Ruoxiao listened to this bold guess, but he also felt that it might not be impossible.

But the things in the palace can be conveyed to the people behind the scenes so quickly, which means that the people behind the scenes must not be far away, or among them.

For some reason, Shen Ruoxiao could always think of the way the queen looked at him in his mind.

It doesn't seem like good intentions, it doesn't seem like bad faith, but it's full of complexity.

While the two were discussing, Concubine Hu was also waiting anxiously in the room.

"Okra, didn't you just say that Wang Yan has returned? Why is there no one here? Where the hell did it go? ”

"Master, the prince is indeed back, but it seems that he has gone out to find the princess again......"

"Go and see, see if the prince is back, if he comes back in time, invite him to my room for dinner in the evening, be sure to say it well!"

Concubine Hu was grooming in front of the mirror while instructing okra.

Okra nodded and quietly retreated.

She came to the courtyard and looked around, but she didn't see Xuanyuan Hao's figure, and when she was about to go back to recover her life, she saw Xuanyuan Hao and Shen Ruoxiao talking and laughing by the pavilion.

Seeing this scene, okra quietly snorted.

"Lord, our master understands the hard work of the prince, and said that he made dinner and ate with you, you see ......" Okra smiled flatteringly.

"I'm not available, thank you for her kindness." Xuanyuan Hao had a cold face and refused mercilessly.

"However, the prince ......" Okra wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Xuanyuan Hao.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Or can you make decisions on your master's behalf?! ”

"Yes, the slave knows." Okra reluctantly retreated.

After a moment, okra took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Alright, let's come in." Concubine Hu will be a little impatient.

"Master, the prince is back."

"Coming back?" Concubine Hu's voice immediately brought a sense of surprise, and she quickly turned around.

"However, the prince said thank you for your kindness, but he refused, and I saw that the prince seemed to be spending money with the princess in the pavilion, and they were very affectionate, and they didn't take you seriously, which is really infuriating!" Okra said angrily.
