As the two men spoke, the door was banged.

Ming Yue's expression changed, and he pulled Xia Qingtong's body in front of him for the first time, and then protected her behind him.

The door was only slammed, and someone could be seen falling.

Ming Yue frowned slightly, clenched the sword in his hand with one hand, and grabbed Xia Qingtong's shoulder with the other.

Xia Qingtong: ......

The sound of fighting outside continued, and Ming Yue couldn't see the situation outside. But the expression was not much worried.

As the sound of fighting outside became louder and louder, the sound of sharp arrows piercing the night sky could be faintly heard.

Soon, an arrow was fired in their house.

Ming Yue waved the sword in his hand, and those arrows were blocked by him.

There were more and more arrows outside, and the movements of Ming Yue's hands were getting faster and faster.

Looking at Ming Yue, Xia Qingtong hated for the first time that he didn't know martial arts and couldn't help him.

Fortunately, this arrow array did not last long, but only a few minutes, and the movement outside completely stopped.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

Hearing Chai Jiu's voice, Ming Yue threw away the sword in his hand: "It's okay." ”

The door was opened, Chai Jiu and his party came in, and when they saw arrows all over the ground, their faces were not good-looking.

"The subordinates are incompetent, I didn't expect them to prepare crossbowmen on the periphery."

"Expected." Ming Yue was not surprised: "It's all solved outside?" ”

"Settled, thirty-eight dead. Nine were captured alive, and seven committed suicide by biting their tongues. Only two people had their jaws removed, and there was no way to take poison and commit suicide. ”

"Tsk, it's a big deal." Ming Yue smiled: "Use so many people to kill me?" The other party really thinks of me. ”

Except for Ming Yue, the other people present could laugh. Especially Xia Qingtong.

Those who will be sent out are all soldiers who have undergone continuous training, not to mention one against a hundred, at least with one against ten.

The other side can send so many people. The magnitude of the pen is not something that ordinary people can do.

She can figure it out, but what can't anyone else think about?

Soon the outside was already cleaned up, and Ming Yue walked out with Xia Qingtong.

The blood stains on the outside had been washed away, leaving only the smell of blood in the air.

Two living people, whose jaws were removed, could not bite their tongues and could not take poison. They will be escorted and kneeling in the courtyard with their heads bowed.

Xia Qingtong watched Ming Yue walk in front of the two and stand still, Qingye came over and glanced at the two.

"Your Highness, they won't explain anything."

Ming Yue didn't speak, he stared back and forth at the faces of the two people, and finally his gaze fell on one of them.

The man was able to hold on at first, but then his head hung down again.

It was at this moment that Ming Yue stepped forward and raised the other party's head.

"Wu Long, who told you to kill me?"

Wu Long? The Red Sakura and the others looked at each other, they had seen Wu Long, not like this.

Ming Yue ignored their surprise and reached behind Wu Long's ear, and after a while, a human skin mask was torn off by him.

"Wu Long?" This time, it was Chai Jiu's turn to be shocked, and he stepped forward and grabbed Wu Long's collar: "Why? Why betray Your Highness? ”

Ming Yue looked at Chai Jiu excitedly with cold eyes, but he didn't say a word.

Wu Long couldn't speak, so Chai Jiu straightened his jaw back for him and took out the poison and medicine from his mouth.

"Say yes. Is Your Highness treating you badly? ”

Wu Long glanced at Ming Yue, and his expression was very entangled: "Your Highness." I'm sorry. ”

Leaving this, his body fell.

"Wu Long?"

Chai Jiu didn't expect that he had stolen the other party's poison and medicine, and the other party would actually die?

He stretched out his hand to check Wu Long's pulse, but Ming Yue spoke extremely coldly on the side.

"It's useless, his poison has been poisoned a long time ago."

Today, whether things are successful or not, Wu Long can't live.

Chai Jiu glanced at Wu Long, who was already silent: "Why did he betray?" He, when did he learn the art of disguise? ”

"Wu Long is friendly with Cheng Shan, and it is not a big deal to ask him to help make a human skin mask."

He has many subordinates, each with his own unique skills.

Ming Yue's words made Chai Qi and the others change their faces: "Your Highness, Cheng Shan-"

"Cheng Shan hasn't changed, it's just him who has changed."

Cheng Shan is now going to help him track down other things, and he is not in the capital during this time. Judging from the news sent back, Cheng Shan should not have known.

Ming Yue glanced at Wu Long, who fell to the ground and was bleeding: "Buried it." ”

turned around and looked at Xia Qingtong's worried eyes.

He stepped forward and shook her hand: "It's not clean here, let's change places." ”

"Okay."

Xia Qingtong didn't object, Ren Mingyue took her hand and left the courtyard.

"He-"

The moment she walked out, she couldn't hold back. Ming Yue pinched her palm: "It's okay." Let it be. ”

Some things go through a few more times, and it doesn't matter.

His overly calm face frightened Xia Qingtong, his lips moved, and he didn't ask what he said.

The other courtyard has been cleaned up, and it is still one room for one person, two next to each other.

Xia Qingtong, who was supposed to go to rest, thought of the emotions that flashed in his eyes when he saw Wu Long's true face just now, and did not rush back to sleep, but followed Ming Yue into his room.

"Are you alright?"

"What can I do?"

There was a faint incense in the room, lit with silver frost carbon, warm and comfortable, but Xia Qingtong could feel the low pressure around Ming Yue.

"That Wu Long—"

The worry in her eyes was too obvious, and Ming Yue raised his hand and gently stroked her eyebrows.

"It's just a dead man."

"But—"

"When I was five years old, my nurse said that she wanted to go out of the palace to see her family, I agreed, and when the nurse came back, she said that she hadn't seen me for a long time and made me a bowl of custard."

"That bowl of custard was poisoned. I happened to be unwell that day, I couldn't eat, and I didn't want to disappoint the nurse, so I gave the custard to a little palace maid. Guess what's wrong with the palace maid? ”

Ming Yue's expression was calm, as if he was talking about someone else's business.

When he said this, he suddenly glanced at Xia Qingtong, Xia Qingtong instinctively wouldn't be a good thing, but he still shook his head.

"After the palace maid ate the egg custard, she bled to death."

Xia Qingtong: ......

"Not long after the palace maid died, the nurse also died. It is also bleeding from the seven orifices. ”

Xia Qingtong's body trembled, and when she looked at Ming Yue's face, she found that she couldn't even find a better comforting sentence.

"When I was seven years old, my mother died, and I was led by a man to a well in the cold palace, and they told me that my mother was down there, and when I was probing, I was pushed down the well—"

"Chu Zhaoyi, who adopted me, stabbed this matter to his father, and his father executed a group of palace people, but the final matter was over."

What's more, because it is risky to wait on him. The palace people in his palace are more and more afraid to approach him.

Xia Qingtong suddenly reached out and hugged him, very hard, very tight.
