Chapter 31: Night Exploration of the Pacification Palace
When Ruyi came back, it was already dark, she stood in the outer courtyard of Zilanyuan with her head down, looking at the bright lights in the house but did not dare to enter, hesitated for a long time, until the girl's clear voice came from inside,
"Are you going to just stand outside all the time?"
Ruyi frowned, she had lost the letter when she saw Miss in a hurry before, and she really didn't have the face to see her.
"Miss, slave..."
"I'll talk about it when I come in!"
When Ruyi heard this, she had to lower her head and walk towards Nan Qiao's house.
After entering, Ruyi found that the young lady was not as angry as she imagined, she sat on the side of the bookcase and quietly looked at the scroll in her hand, her whole body exuded an elegant and calm temperament, graceful, graceful, at this moment, Ruyi felt that everything in front of her was like a lifelike painting, and the fairy in the painting was her young lady.
"Miss, slave... Didn't find it! ”
The girl's slender eyelashes raised slightly, and she glanced in the direction of the door, "This matter is not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”
Ruyi didn't expect Miss to comfort her in turn, and her heart was suddenly moved, she knelt on the ground with a plop, "Miss, the slave knows how important that letter is to you, it's all the slave's fault, you punish the slave!" ”
"Is it possible to punish you for believing and you will be able to run back on your own? I already have an idea in my heart about this, so get up! ”
In fact, Nan Qiao didn't have any good ideas in her heart, but when she thought that the letter was still in Ji Wuyu's hands, she couldn't be at peace, and the so-called calm she showed was just the temperament she had cultivated over the years.
The night was thick, and when everything was silent, a petite figure shuttled through the darkness and flew silently over the dense eaves of Chang'an City.
The black figure almost blended into the night, virtual and real, real and false, like a dark elf, heading in the direction of the palace of Pingding.
As soon as the drum of the second watch was beaten, a shadow swept across the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the shadow flew into the high wall of the Pingding Palace.
Nan Qiao fell into a courtyard, the courtyard was silent all around, there was no light in it, she seemed to be submerged in the endless darkness at the moment, and she couldn't tell where it was.
Nan Qiao secretly mocked in his heart, the huge Pingding Mansion was reluctant to burn this candle, it was like a ghost house!
She touched the other courtyards by the dim starlight, but there was still no fire.
In the huge palace, there are no guards who patrol at night, Ji Wuyu is also a strange person, and when she passed by the door during the day that day, she also saw a lot of guards.
Before the girl came, she thought that there was a tough battle to fight, but she didn't expect it to be like this, so it was good for her to act.
After being in the dark for a long time, through the dim starlight, she was gradually able to see some things clearly, through the nine-curved corridor, past the lotus lake, and finally to the bluestone road in the flower garden, she finally saw the words of Wenge, and thought, this should be the study.
A sharpened dagger easily sliced the door lock, and Nan Qiao quietly sneaked into the study and gently closed the door.
She was very well prepared before she came, and took out a night pearl from her pocket, and the night pearl emitted a faint light, and she began to look around for the letter.
After searching for a long time and finding nothing, she began to knock on the wall, looking for a hidden place, and finally, she touched a loose stone brick, Nan Qiao carefully took the stone brick, and found a box from it.
The box twitched, triggering the mechanism in the room, and countless short arrows in the darkness shot at her as if they had eyes.
"Whoosh, whoosh...", the girl dodged the arrows with great speed, followed by a crackling sound, and the arrows quickly nailed to the bookshelves, tables and chairs.
She ducked behind one of the bookshelves, and several arrows snapped through the cracks of the shelves, the tips of which passed past her ear, and if they were a little more off, they would have pierced her head.
The girl tensed her heartstrings, and after a while, the mechanism of the arrow automatically stopped firing, Nan Qiao was relieved to see that no one had found all this, she hid behind the bookshelf and carefully opened the box, and shook the night pearl in her hand into the box for a moment, the faint light illuminated the words on it, and suddenly, she was ecstatic, and it was indeed the letter that Ruyi dropped.
Ji Wuyu, the dog thief, is really hidden, and when she accidentally touched the mechanism in the dark grid, she was almost pierced by ten thousand arrows, but the adventure of being able to get the letter back was worth it!
It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Nan Qiao threw away the box, and was about to leave after putting away her things, but found that there was an extra breath in the house at this time that did not belong to her, and people who practiced martial arts could sense the danger at the first time, especially when the person who came deliberately released a strong air pressure to expose her, otherwise with the strength of this air pressure, she would not be able to easily find that the master was already in this house, and he had just arrived.
The aura of terror enveloped the entire study, Nan Qiao was shocked, she must not be this person's opponent, her position was aimed at the door, if she could take the lead and rush out of the study in one fell swoop, she would be able to escape with a glimmer of life.
She quietly looked out into the gap from behind the bookshelf, and secretly observed where the man was, but there was nothing in the room!
Suddenly, a powerful air flow above her head came straight overhead, Nan Qiao didn't have time to dodge, she gathered her internal strength and stretched out her palms, and was forced to take the sudden palm above her head.
"Bang-"
The palm fits, the powerful internal force shook all the obstacles around, several bookshelves in the room fell to the ground, and the things around were shattered, Nan Qiao couldn't resist such a powerful force at all, but that force still pressed her down, and if she wasn't careful, she would be beaten to pieces by this force.
With that blow just now, Nan Qiao had already suffered internal injuries, and at this moment she was just forcibly supporting with the only remaining strength, there was a fishy sweet liquid overflowing from the corner of her mouth, Nan Qiao only felt that her bones hurt all over her body, and her legs trembled terribly.
The other party just made a move, she couldn't catch it, no, she must not continue to consume with him, otherwise, she would definitely die here.
Nan Qiao's legs suddenly forked, and they fit the ground in a straight line, and when the strength of the person on her head had not yet fallen, she stood up like a carp, and her body jumped back quickly, successfully breaking away from the powerful coercion.
Once out of danger, she will never fight, she took advantage of the situation to kick the tattered bookshelf at her feet, the bookshelf rose into the air and smashed towards the black figure, taking this opportunity, Nan Qiao rushed towards the door.
Seeing that she was about to go out of the door, a powerful force suddenly hit behind her, Nan Qiao immediately reacted, she had to dodge from the door, the palm passed by her, and the volley palm hit a plane tree in the courtyard outside the door, the plane tree body suddenly broke, and a piece of black pressure fell in the courtyard.
The black shadow didn't expect her to react so quickly, and Nan Qiao was covered in a cold sweat when she saw all this, she quickly turned over, kicked to the wall, and with the help of force, she flew violently towards the black figure in the room, in mid-air, the sharp dagger she hid in the palm of her hand quietly emitted a dim silver light, saying that it was too late and that was fast, just when her hand was up and down, the man easily held her wrist, and her dagger didn't have time to pierce his head, her wrist tightened, and the dagger fell into the hands of others.
Nan Qiao was about to forcibly break free, and in the next second, her restrained hand was pulled, and her back hit the man's chest directly, and she was about to struggle, when the cold dagger behind her instantly pressed against her neck, and the sharp end was close to her skin, exuding a deadly chill.
The breath of death permeated the entire study, her heart beat uncontrollably, she no longer dared to act rashly, and after the fierce fight in the darkness of the sky, she could clearly hear her own heavy gasps.
And the person behind him obviously has a stable breath, without any sense of qi deficiency after using internal force, he is like a bystander, as if all this happened has nothing to do with him, but on the contrary, he is a master of catching her with his own hands, and the mess on the scene is enough to prove everything that happened just now, how terrible he is!
A cold breath came from his ears, and he smiled with a bit of sarcasm, "Heh! Or a woman? ”
Nan Qiao gritted his teeth and remained silent, and then heard him snort coldly, "Gong Liancheng is really underestimating this king more and more, and even this kind of unpopular female assassin has come in handy, you say, if you peel off your skin and make a human skin drum and give it to your master, will he be surprised to see it?" ”
Nan Qiao's scalp tingled when she heard the peeling, she couldn't understand what he was saying at all, she only felt that the name Gong Liancheng seemed to have been heard somewhere, and it seemed to be Ji Wuyu's enemy.
At the moment, she doesn't have time to think about it, she just wants to escape, the human skin drum or something sounds so cruel, so she shouldn't be a wronged person to be a human skin drum!
The chill on her neck would cut her throat at any time, Nan Qiao subconsciously held her breath and gritted her teeth, and in the black pocket that she had cut by the way when she attacked before, fine powder was inadvertently flowing out.
Soon, she felt that the dagger on her neck loosened slightly, Nan Qiao reached out and knocked the dagger down, her head slammed back, this collision Ji Wuyu was caught off guard, she didn't expect her to do it suddenly, and his reaction and alertness seemed to be much slower than before.
Nan Qiao's head was also painful to death, but in this case, she couldn't help it, she took this opportunity to break free from the hand that was clamped by him, and then her body turned in the opposite direction, and the whole person suddenly broke away from Ji Wuyu's suppression.
Nan Qiao had made a lot of preparations before coming, originally thinking that if he ran into some difficult guards and sprinkled this powder on people, the person who inhaled it would faint in a short time, which would save a lot of trouble, who knew that the palace guards didn't meet it, and directly met Ji Wuyu, the devil, she didn't have to use it in vain!
Ji Wuyu just inhaled some, but he quickly reacted, he used internal force to protect his body, this little thing in the air did not affect him much, and the next second, he attacked the girl again.
