The arrival of Ye Ling Xi made Yan Li's mood more and more confused, and the already difficult night became longer, but the sleepiness was completely gone.

Wen Moqing, Wen Moshu, two encounters that are different from each other, two completely different feelings, in the end, she can't tell which one is the so-called love, which one is the destination she should go to, or, neither of them belongs to her, she is destined to bear the curse and be lonely for a lifetime in this life?

Troubled thoughts were silent in the middle of the night, and the more troubled they were, the more sober they became, and when they were tossing and turning over and over again to think about whether it was time to go out for a walk, there were a few small noises on the roof.

Someone on the roof!

Nervousness temporarily replaced the worries on Yan Liwu's body, tiptoed to the bed, Yan Liwu held his breath and listened carefully, the sound was moving from the ridge to the eaves, and a blurred black shadow flashed in front of the window after a while.

The moonlight was a little dim and hazy this night, not particularly bright, and the black shadow shook very carefully in front of the window for a long time, and after making sure that there was no sound in the room, he poked a hole in the window, and the black shadow of the watermelon approached, and the black reflected on the window paper became clearer and clearer.

Before the dark shadow settled down, he stuffed the pillow into the brocade quilt and made it look like someone was wrapped in the quilt, and then quickly hid behind the desk, hiding his figure by the dark moonlight - sneaky late at night, the people outside the window must not have come to talk about life for the wind and the moon, and ninety percent of them were assassins and the like.

The black shadow peeked into the room through the hole in the window paper, probably because the light was too dark to see clearly, and after a while, it rubbed in front of the door and squirmed for a long time. Yan Liwu didn't know if the man would come in, and after he rushed to the door lightly, Huang Chengjian faded from his scabbard and clenched it tightly.

Even though her mind was in turmoil before, when the alarm bell sounded in her mind, Yan Liwu immediately returned to her clarity and decisiveness, but she didn't notice that her calm expression at this time was the same as Wen Moqing.

After leaving the palace, he would be very careful to draw the latch every night, but the small latch was not an obstacle for uninvited guests, and the slight sound stopped for a while, and the tip of the snow bright knife was inserted into the crack of the door and moved up and down, and the latch was stuck a little bit after touching the latch. The more the crisis, the weaker the tension of the speech, the moment the door was finally broken through and opened silently, she didn't even feel the slightest fear, only calmly clenched the short sword and hid behind the door, staring at the black shadow that rushed into the room.

The man who sneaked in didn't notice that there was anyone behind the door, and perhaps was still complacent about his quick action, but when he saw that the "man" under the futon was not moving, he boldly approached it. At the moment when the infiltrator reached out to tear off the brocade quilt, Yan Liwu suddenly rushed out, and the inverted short sword slammed the back of the infiltrator's head with the hilt, and after a miserable scream, the uninvited guest who was caught off guard collapsed to the ground, and he didn't know who was going on.

Yan Liwu lit the fuel lamp and shone it under his feet, only to see that the fallen man was dressed in a black night suit, with a large ring knife on his shoulder, and a string of strange things that looked like fire folds but were obviously much smaller hanging from his belt, and the last one had been removed and held in the man's hand.

Incense? Or something else? Yan Liwu didn't think about it carefully, these are not bright means to ask Zhong Yue more clearly, after all, they are all people who walk on the rivers and lakes.

After unloading the intruder's weapons and tying them up simply, Yan Liwu wanted to go to Ye Ling Xi and Zhong Yue to remind them to be careful, but before she could go out, Ye Ling Xi, Zhong Yue, and Chu Yang had already arrived first, and everyone's faces were strangely solemn.

"Miss Yan, this place has been discovered, there are many people in ambush nearby, we must leave as soon as possible." Zhong Yue glanced at the person lying on the ground, frowned slightly but didn't ask carefully, turned back to Chu Yang and glanced at him, "Chu Yang, I'll go and lure the ambush away, you find an opportunity to take Miss Yan and Miss Night away." You don't have to wait for me after you go out, go all the way to Dingyuan County to find the young master of Bixiao, understand? ”

Chu Yang looked at the two women beside him, and then at the little firelight that was gradually approaching outside, and a trace of displeasure flashed on his delicate face: "I'll go, you go." ”

"What are you fighting for at this time? I'm better than you, and I can delay a little longer; You are careful, and you are more suitable to protect Miss Yan. That's it, if nothing else, we'll see you in Dingyuan Palace, let's go! Zhong Yue didn't give Chu Yang a chance to protest at all, so he put down his words and ran straight to the direction of the firelight.

Outside the house, the fire and the noise are getting closer and closer, and I can't tell how many people there are, but the number is definitely not less than twenty. Lowering his head to look at the unconscious assassin, he said thoughtfully: "This person touched into my room but didn't untie his weapon, it seems that he just wanted to use incense to make me unconscious, if the people outside are his accomplices, then their purpose should not be to kill." Chu Yang, can you roughly calculate how many people are outside? ”

"Twenty-four, eleven of them with torches." Without waiting for Chu Yang to answer, Ye Ling Xi responded first.

The perennial life with the army has endowed Ye Ling Xi with sensitivity far beyond ordinary people's eyesight and hearing, and the relatively long distance for ordinary people is not too close in her opinion, and it is very simple to accurately find out the number of opponents. Yan Liwu was convinced of Ye Lingxi's judgment, muttered for a while, and took a deep breath: "Twenty-four people, let Zhong Yue deal with it alone will definitely be sent to death; If the three of us also go out to help, on average, one person can deal with six—how about it, Ling Xi, do you want to submit a few more people to call your aunt? ”

"Although it is not too rare for this kind of rat to sneak attack at night, however, it is not a bad thing to have a few more good grandchildren." Seeing that he was relieved of his worries, Ye Ling Xi's heart that had been hanging finally let go, and he blinked confidently, "I haven't seen you for so long, I just want to see if your kung fu has degraded, how about Bibi Yi?" Let's see who receives more good grandchildren! ”

"It's better than that, the old rule, if you lose, drink three cups of bitter tea!"

The two women, who were the protectors, rushed out of the hospital one after the other, Chu Yang did not stop them, looked back at the people on the ground who were humming and chirping as if they were about to wake up, raised their feet and kicked the back of their heads carelessly, carrying the half-arm-long cooked copper thorn and joining the battle without hurrying.

Everything in the palace has to be restrained, far less comfortable than in the border military camp in the past, and it has been a long time since I was so happy. The enemy is neither strong nor weak, not able to be defeated with one blow but not terrifyingly powerful, every time he dances the sword of Huangcheng, every time he dodges a ferocious attack, the feeling of pleasure and excitement will be superimposed on Yan Li's worries.

What she wants is not to kill, but to vent her joy and anger to the fullest, so that the pent-up negativity can be completely shattered.

She also wants to prove that she is capable of protecting herself, and that she does not need anyone to pity and care for her, even if no one in this world smiles at her gently, and no one uses her in a warm and true embrace, she can still live without relying on anyone.

In this way, you won't be afraid of losing anyone, right?

It was a terrible but embarrassing battle, for the attackers. There were only four people, and the small team of twenty-five people was completely defeated, except for the first one who passed out in Yan Li's room, the other twenty-four people were all wounded and fled, and only the four people who were the resisting side suffered some skin injuries.

Even so, Ye Ling Xi and Zhong Yue's hearts still sank like boulders.

"Miss Yan, don't be like this, if there is something unpleasant in your heart, you can say it, how can you make us ...... like this" Zhong Yue didn't know how to continue, sighed heavily, and blamed himself.

"Me? What's wrong with me? Am I fine? I've never felt so good. Yan Li smiled and wiped away a few drops of blood splashed on his face, and his tone was relaxed and indifferent, "Zhong Yue, you can't stay here any longer, right?" Do you want to go to Dingyuan County to meet Bi Xiao or what should I do? I'm a little worried, will going to the palace affect the prince? ”

The tone deliberately made by Yan Liwu was extremely unnatural, and both Zhong Yue and Ye Ling Xi could see it clearly. Zhong Yue had some inconvenient words due to his identity, but Ye Lingxi didn't care, his brows sank, and his tone suddenly became sharp: "What are you worried about?" Do you still have the heart to worry about others? Look at yourself in the mirror and laugh better than cry. If there is something that can't be said frankly, do you have to be tired and tired to guess? I'm telling you, next time I see you rushing into the pile of people as if you were looking for death, don't blame me for being ruthless and throwing you into the well! ”

Someone helped to say the words in his heart, Zhong Yue felt relieved, and nodded again and again to express his support.

When they joined forces to retreat from the enemy just now, Yan Liwu was indeed a little ignorant of life and death, and many times he saw the danger and still rushed to the front desperately, if it weren't for Ye Ling Xi and Zhong Yue to be flexible and timely resolved, maybe there would be a lot of blood holes on Yan Liwu's body at this time. Zhong Yue couldn't guess the woman's thoughts, and she didn't know what Yan Liwu was thinking, but her almost crazy actions were obviously caused by a chaotic mind, which made Zhong Yue very worried.

"Alright, I don't have time to care if you're crazy or stupid, there may be other people in the back, the first thing is to get out of here and find a safer place." Seeing that Yan Liwu was noncommittal, Ye Lingxi was so angry that he stomped his feet so hard that he turned around and left, but he didn't forget to drag Yan Liwu tightly.

Zhong Yue and Chu Yang glanced at each other tacitly, the former was full of helplessness, and the latter was calm and calm, with an indifferent expression that was very similar to Wen Moqing.

After making the decision to leave, Zhong Yue and Chu Yang quickly packed their things and loaded them into the carriage, which was driven by Zhong Yue, and the other three squeezed into the not very spacious carriage, all the way in the direction of Dingyuan County. Less than a cup of tea had left the carriage, and the fire in the Yuanguo Imperial Palace was jumping, and a large number of guards hurriedly gathered and dispersed, searching around the palace.

Wen Jingyuan stood outside the night breeze outside the dormitory in thick clothes, squinting slightly and staring at a certain place in the night sky without moving: "How did the prime minister calculate that Wen Moqing would escape?" ”

"Human nature, why do you need to calculate? The prince of Dingyuan was willing to take risks to help Yan Li abscond, which is enough to prove that he has a deep affection for Yan Li; Since this is the case, he will naturally not let it drift outside, and sooner or later he will get rid of the shackles and follow him. ”

Compared with the heavy night, the pure white without variegation was a bit dazzling, but Lian Song didn't notice it at all, but smiled lightly with the tips of his snow-like hair, and his tone seemed to have seen through everything.

"The emperor knows why Miss Yan agreed to leave the palace secretly? It's not because the second prince wants to marry, and it's not because the fourth prince didn't refuse to accept her as a concubine, but because she is dissatisfied with the second prince, as for the reason for the dissatisfaction, at least half of it is related to the prince of Dingyuan - take the attitude of these two people towards Yan Li, the second prince always looks forward and has reservations, and the prince of Dingyuan will really be desperate for her. ”
