Chapter 088: Assassin

"Three prayers, find a set of simple clothes, and let Xiaoxue take me out of the house."

Sanqi opened the wardrobe and selected a water blue smoke gauze dress from the cabinet full of high-end dresses, the fabric was the best tribute satin, the embroidery was also very exquisite, and the outer layer of floating yarn brocade was removed, which was already the simplest clothes in the wardrobe.

"Miss, this one is quite simple."

"Okay, let's wear it first, and let someone make a few sets in private tomorrow." Yun Xiao changed her clothes and went out of the yard in the name of playing. Because he went out of the mansion without permission, he couldn't walk through the main gate openly, so Xiaoxue bought the side gate with a few taels of silver, and the two quietly slipped out of the side gate of the palace.

King Zhao's Mansion is not as heavily walled as King Sheng's Mansion, and King Zhao did not give an order not to allow Yun Xiao to leave the mansion, so it was easy to come out. Xiaoxue led the way in front, and the two turned left and right to the street east of the palace.

Looking at the bustling street market in front of her, Yunxiao stood on the branch like a bird, enjoying the joy of freedom. At this time, a melodious and pleasant sound of the qin floated from a distance, Yun Xiao listened carefully, this kind of guqin is very popular in the capital.

"Xiaoxue, where did this sound come from?"

"It was played by the pianist Qingyin." Xiaoxue has been listening to this piano sound for many years.

"Qingyin Qinist?"

"Qingyin Qinshi opened a piano academy, called Qingyin Qinyuan, but Qingyin Qinshi is very high and does not accept apprentices easily."

"Oh." People who don't understand the rhythm listen to beautiful melodies, and what is in the ears of Yun Xiao is that this piano art has a higher level of attainment than themselves.

"Does the young lady want to go to the market, or do you want to see the scenery?" Xiaoxue stopped at the corner of the street to ask, and Yun Xiao decided to visit the Qingyin qin master first.

"Go to the Qingyin Qin Academy."

"Miss wants to learn to play the piano?"

"Well, Qingyin is a woman, right?" Qingyin, a very elegant name.

"Yes, she is the most famous female luthier in the capital, and she has served as a luthier in the palace for a few years." Xiaoxue knew everything, and shook out everything she knew.

Qingyin Qin Temple is near the City God Temple, take a shortcut, and soon reach the street leading to the City God Temple. At the end of this street is the City God Temple, where there are many pilgrims, and the incense paper and other items used in the temple are all over the street.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

There was an annoying shouting from the front, and the pedestrians on the street were in confusion, attracting Yun Xiaoxiao's attention. The market leading to the temple has been closed to pedestrians, and a few royal guards are driving roadside vendors to widen the road.

Not long after, a luxury sedan chair came down the street, there were guards riding high-headed horses in front of and behind the sedan chair, the team opened up and occupied the entire street, people dodged on the side of the street, Yun Xiao and Xiaoxue were also blocked at the entrance of the alley.

"It's Prince Xiang's palanquin." Xiaoxue told Yun Xiao's ear.

"Hmph." Yun Xiao snorted secretly, no wonder she was so strong.

Suddenly, an assassin rushed out of a pavilion, and he was very heroic, and he swooped down with a sword in his hand, and stabbed straight down at the sedan chair with the force of inertia, seeing that the sword was about to penetrate the sedan wall and kill the people in the sedan chair.

"There are assassins, escorts!" One of the guards at the sedan shouted and sprang up from his horse to meet the Assassin.

The two swords clashed in the air, and the Assassin was clearly lacking in skill, and the sword in his hand was swept away by the guard's swing, and the Assassin fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The rest of the guards quickly dismounted and flew forward, half surrounding the palanquin to protect the prince, while the other half rushed towards the assassin, seeing that several swords were about to pierce the assassin's chest. Yun Xiao's heart tugged, and she turned her eyes away and didn't dare to look again.

Unexpectedly, although the assassin was not skilled in martial arts, his head was quite flexible, and he wittily dodged the guard's sword, turned over a few times on the ground, grabbed Yun Xiao's shoulder, and pulled her out of the crowd, and the sword crossed her neck.

Yun Xiao was terrified, and secretly lamented, this guy rolled over from afar, just to choose her as a hostage?

No wonder, she is the only one among the people on this street who is dressed elegantly and elegantly, and she is the most eye-catching, and the veil is even more mysterious, who does the assassin arrest if he doesn't catch her?

- I'm so unlucky, next time I come out, I must wear public clothes, and I must not attract attention again.

"Don't come here, take one more step forward and I'll kill this woman." The assassin threatened the guards who pressed forward, pulling Yun Xiao backwards.

"Miss......" Xiaoxue cried and threw herself over, kneeling on the ground, "Please...... Hugh is going to hurt my young lady, let me take her place. ”

"What are you, get out of here!" The Assassin kicked the snow away.

Yun Xiao had a sword pressed on his neck, and the clothes on his shoulders made him pull, he was very frightened in his heart, but he was still stubborn, "Xiaoxue, don't come here, he is not so fierce and will not kill me." ”

"Shut up! Who said I wouldn't kill her. The assassin glared at the guard in front of him, pressed the sword in his hand, and cut her blue collar, the iron weapon cold to the flesh and skin.

Yun Xiao broke out in a cold sweat, she had never experienced such a thrilling scene, she was so frightened that her soul was scattered, her face was pale, and her legs trembled.

"Stand down, let the assassins leave on their own, and don't intercept them."

Xiangwang Xuanyuan Mo saw the assassin taking hostages in the sedan chair, lifted the sedan curtain and stepped out of the sedan chair, glanced at the hostages dragged by the assassin, and said to the assassin: "This strong man, don't hurt the innocent, let go of the hostages, this king will not let you go in the past, you can go." ”

The assassin was worried about the scheme, so he was willing to let go of the hostages and disappeared into the alley with Yun Xiao hostage.

"Miss! Miss! Xiaoxue staggered behind, crying and chasing.
