078. Paradox

When the footsteps faded away, Bai Ling let go of the hand covering Ling Ran's mouth, but immediately pulled her and ran in the direction she had just run, turned a corner, and rushed straight upstairs.

And in the stairwell, Bai Ling quietly used the dagger in his hand to solve a man in black, and his moves were so neat and neat that even Ling Ran immediately admired him.

They rushed straight to the top floor, the third floor, and after hurriedly dodging a few black-clothed men armed with bows and arrows again, Bai Ling quickly entered a room with Ling Ran, quickly and lightly closed the door, and locked it.

"Thank you, Bai Gongzi-" Ling Ran was about to thank him out loud, but saw him put his index finger to his lips and gestured "shh-" and said in a dumb voice:

"Don't make a noise yet." With that, he turned and walked towards the window.

Ling Ran also walked over there, looking down, but saw that in the open space on the ground floor at this moment, countless Yu Lin Guards were running around carrying buckets to extinguish the fire, and a little farther away, in the depths of the palace, dozens of black-clothed people mixed with several Yu Lin Wei were fighting.

Originally, she just glanced at the people who were fighting over there unintentionally, but her gaze froze, glanced at Bai Ling, and said softly:

"Why did those men in black kill each other?"

"Huh?" Bai Ling also looked over there, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "It shouldn't be, it may be two factions." ”

Hearing him say this, Ling Ran's mind couldn't help but jump out of the words that Chu Yijun said last night······

Tomorrow is the bonfire festival, and I don't know what will happen.

Now that she thinks about it, she feels that something is faintly wrong······

Did Chu Yijun have expected all this a long time ago?

But just as she looked apprehensively at the fighting men on the first floor, the door to the room they were in was slammed open.

Shocked, the two immediately turned around, and Bai Ling reflexively protected Ling Ran behind him, looking at the few black-clothed men with hideous masks who broke through the door:

"What are you going to do?"

"Princess. Please come home with us. One of them bowed slightly, and walked straight towards them, but the sword in his hand was not returned to its scabbard, and the sharp blade was faintly reflected.

Bai Ling was still holding a dagger, blocking Ling Ran behind him motionlessly, his eyes fixed on the sword in the man's hand:

"Why do you believe that you are from the Xuan Palace?"

The man smiled, stopped, and flashed the token on his waist at them:

"That's all right, right? Hand her over! Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude! ”

"Tokens can also be stolen. Go and call your lord, and I will hand her over." Bai Ling said.

"Our prince has something important to do, so I don't have time to come," the man said, and then took a step closer to Bai Ling's side, "So you, do you want to pay or not?" ”

"No." Bai Ling replied without thinking.

"Then look at the sword!" The man turned to a few people behind him and said, "Give it all to me!" ”

The black-clothed men rushed up to Bai Ling one after another.

Suddenly, the sword flashed and swords.

Ling Ran was about to step forward to help, but was pushed away by Bai Ling:

"Please Miss Ling, don't come to help!"

Bai Ling's push, I don't know how much strength it used, Ling Ran was almost pushed to the ground, and he put his hands back against the wall to gain a firm footing.

Thinking of what he said just now, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she still turned her head to look.

- but saw that the few men in black were all holding sharp long swords and flashing towards Bai Ling, in this small space, so many swords were swinging towards him at the same time, giving people the feeling that he could be killed by a sword at any time.

Her heart couldn't help but be entangled, and then she suddenly remembered Bai Ling's identity, and hurriedly shouted to the group of black-clothed people:

"He is the prince of a neighboring country, if anyone dares to hurt him, then he doesn't want to live!" After hearing this, Bai Ling couldn't help but smile on the corner of her mouth.

But no one in the group of black-clothed people paid attention to her, Ling Ran couldn't help but purse her lips a little anxiously, thought about it, and was about to say more, but heard the leading black-clothed man suddenly say:

"Quickly divide two people to take her away, and I'll contain him first!"

Immediately, two men in black gave up the fight with Bai Ling and rushed towards Ling Ran.

"Don't think!" Bai Ling kicked away the man who was fighting him, and then jumped into the air and landed in front of Ling Ran.

In fact, Ling Ran was about to teach the two little guys a lesson, but unexpectedly, Bai Ling suddenly stood in the way, so she had to withdraw her hand first.

"Bai Gongzi, in fact, you don't have to be like this, I will work hard! I'm fine! ”

However, Bai Ling saw it in one word:

"But they're outnumbered, and you don't have anything to defend yourself against!"

"yes······" Ling Ran's eyes flickered, and his gaze locked on a man in black who was walking, and he hurriedly took the opportunity to jump forward, took the sword in his hand, and happily shook it in front of Bai Ling's eyes, "Now I have it!" ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, smiled, and was about to answer, but her smile froze,—— only to see that the man who had snatched the sword from her was quietly approaching her from behind her with a stick that had been turned over from nowhere.

"Be careful!" Bai Ling hurriedly shouted, grabbed Ling Ran and turned her 180 degrees.

Ling Ran didn't know why, but the moment he was turned by Bai Ling, he watched the man raise his stick and hit Bai Ling······

But just as the man was about to succeed, his abdomen was pierced by a sword, and a splash of blood suddenly splattered out and fell to the ground.

"Who?!"

"Who?!"

The black-clothed men stopped their hands one after another, stared at the comers with wide eyes, but saw a man wearing a black mask and coming in white, but he didn't pay attention to the eyes of the black-clothed people at all, and just whispered to Bai Ling:

"My subordinates are derelict in their duties, it's too late!"

He swept towards the black-clothed men mercilessly, with a dagger in his left hand and a long sword in his right hand, and his moves were smooth and sharp.

Coupled with the assistance of Bai Ling and Ling Ran, soon, there were only three black-clothed people left in the room, and they were held by Ling Ran's throat one by one.

"Princess, spare your life! Princess, we were ordered to take you home······" The man who was resisted by Ling Ran said, his voice trembling.

"Pick me up?" Looking at the trembling man in front of him, Ling Ran couldn't help but laugh and said, "Pick me up and want to hit me with a stick?" Concubine Ben is so easy to bully?! Say! Who sent you? This concubine will spare your life! ”

"Princess Niangniang, really······ It's really Lord Xuan! It's Lord Xuan······ Lord Xuan said, if you can't take it······ No, if we can't bring you back, we'll have to fall to the ground! The man hesitated.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a magnetic and languid voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Why doesn't this king remember that he wants his subordinates to take the princess back to the house?"
