Chapter 164 (Chapter 1) Marriage Killing (Section 25) Betrothal Ceremony 2
Despite the inevitable tension, Clear Sky kept his promise, put on a veil to cover his face, and prepared to enter the Tower of Vows and play his role as a stand-in for the last time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Two quarters of an hour before the hour came, the attendant knocked on the door of the princess's bedroom, and the jeweled "princess" standing in the room was the only one in the clear sky, and the real Princess Vanessa had already left her room half an hour ago.
[Probably to avoid suspicion, but also to be able to spend the night of this engagement ceremony peacefully.] Clear Sky thinks so.
In order to avoid showing his feet, Clear Sky repeatedly reminded himself not to utter any words, and all responses were indicated by nods and gestures. Of course, the attendant who answered didn't say much, and this response was enough.
So, following the footsteps of the two maids and two guards to the bottom of the tower, the exquisite sedan chair was already waiting at the door, and there were dozens of gold-armored guards in the two rows behind the sedan chair.
Stepping on the sedan chair, escorted by the soldiers, they marched all the way to the deepest part of the royal city. After about a quarter of an hour, the team stopped at the foot of a tall tower that connected with mountains. This pagoda is made of white jade, mixed with the edges and corners of the cornices decorated with black stone, revealing the same sacred meaning of the Holy Spirit Temple.
Stepping down from the sedan chair, the two guards pushed open the heavy black stone gate carved with the pattern of the flying dragon ascending to heaven for the "Her Royal Highness Princess" - "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the vow tower is a forbidden place, only the royal family can enter, and the next road to the tower can only be walked by yourself." The guard on one side said.
The disguised princess nodded slightly, dragged her gorgeous purple dress and long tail, and walked firmly towards the tower.
When Clear Sky's figure was completely submerged in the exquisite and mysterious religious totem on the floor of the Tower of Oath, the black stone gate behind her was slammed shut by the guards.
The lobby on the first floor of the Tower of Vows is an empty circular room carved with the teachings and images of the Holy Spirit on all sides, and the totems depicted within several wheels on the floor emit a faint golden light, which is the only source of light in this room, and the wall paintings on all sides are more mysterious.
Entering through the main door, you will be greeted by the only entrance to the spiral staircase that leads to the upper floor. Clear Sky walked up a staircase, looked up, and suddenly felt dizzy...... [That's too high!] She cursed inwardly. The crystal shoes worn on the feet are ten centimeters high, although in the game, no matter what shoes you wear, you can walk like flying, but such a high floor, so many stairs, no matter how fast you walk, it will take half an hour to reach the top, and your feet are not tired and tired......
[Anyway, when the time comes, I have to exchange it with the princess, so I just stay on the first floor and make soy sauce until dawn.] Thinking so, Clear Sky sat down on the stairs of the first step, supporting his head with his arms and tangled.
Time passed in the boring tangle of the clear sky. She was sitting, lying, and lying on her back, she was on the stairs, on the floor, and against the wall she had changed her position for I don't know how many times, and she was still too lazy to climb up, just hoping that time would pass sooner, and that Her Royal Highness the real princess would come over early to change her identity, until-
There seemed to be a commotion on all sides, and the noise came from outside the tower.
Qingtian suddenly stood up and ran a few steps up the stairs, she was afraid that if the tower door was pushed open and it was discovered that she had not gone up to the top room of the tower to chant the sutra, what would ...... Will her fake identity be revealed?
Before he had time to worry more, the commotion outside the tower was getting closer and closer, and Qingtian's panic became more and more intense. She had to lift the heavy skirt with both hands, step out of her long legs, and run quickly to the top of the tower!
After running upwards, there may be more than a dozen laps of spiral staircase, and the clear sky seems to hear the sound of the stone door under the tower being pushed open, although I am not sure, I can't help but chuckle in my heart.
[Could it be that an assassin came to assassinate the princess tonight?] …… Sunny Sky didn't believe the argument that "the time of the Tower of Oath Chanting was the last chance for the assassins", and only agreed to come as a stand-in for Princess Vanessa's psychological comfort, so he was not prepared for the assassination...... At the moment, her only thought was to run, to run—to the top, and then to think of a countermeasure.
There seemed to be a real sound of footsteps climbing the stairs under the tower, although it was slight, but it was not far away, which made Qingtian's panic even more intense, and his footsteps accelerated, and he ran wildly.
The spiral of the staircase overhead is getting fewer and fewer, and the room at the top is getting closer...... Clear Sky didn't think about how to deal with the assassin when he reached the top, but he inexplicably felt that he had to run there to find a lifesaver, so the white jade door at the entrance of the top room appeared in front of him.
Without hesitation, she pushed open the door with both hands, and the sight before her made the girl freeze in place for a moment, and she was frozen in place like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, incredibly, unreasonably-
She saw the ...... hanging in front of the statue of the Holy Spirit Prince Johnny's body......
His feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground, completely unaware of what was going on......
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind her - "Clear sky? Cloudless sky! Stand up! There is no time! ”
Qingtian turned his head, only to see Leoria's figure appear at some point, and scooped her up from the ground: "I have alarmed the guards on the side of the tower, the pursuers assigned by the royal family may come up to the tower soon, we have to get out of here quickly!" ”
Clear Sky finally came to her senses, and at this time, she could clearly hear the commotion that seemed to be coming from the bottom of the tower.
"I don't know what's going on......" she looked at Leoria in alarm.
"I know, it's a trap." Leoria patted her head soothingly, repeating, "We don't have time left, we must get out of here." ”
"How to leave? ...... "The whole tower seems to have only one entrance at the bottom of the tower, and the room on the top floor is a circle of stained glass bars with no exit, except for the statue of the Holy Spirit in front of it.
The sound behind him became clearer and clearer, and the footsteps of the metal armor rubbing against each other could be heard. Leoria quickly pulled the clear sky into the room on the top floor, closed the door tightly, and then grabbed the girl by the shoulders and said to her, "Don't be afraid, trust me. ”
With that, he pulled the girl past a window, drew his sword, and smashed the glass to pieces. The strong wind outside the tower blew all at once, blowing up the veil of the clear sky.
"What is this for?" Qingtian's face suddenly became bloodless, and she didn't need to look at it, she could feel the height of this tower, and the state that would inevitably be shattered if it fell...... "You're not...... Going to jump, right? The girl asked incredulously.
"Yes." Leoria pulled the girl in, "That's the only way now." ”
Qingtian was still hesitating, but the sound outside the door seemed to be not far away-the moment the white jade stone door "clicked" inward, Leoria grabbed the girl by the waist and jumped out of the window...... (To be continued.) )
