Chapter 916: The Assassin Returns
Dongfang Zhidie was seriously injured, although she had woken up, but in the end she still hurt her vitality. Everyone saw that Dongfang Zhidie couldn't ask anything here, so they didn't stay long.
Su Yi was already weak, so he went back to rest first, Nangong Qing couldn't rest assured of Su Yi's safety, especially now that the assassin hadn't caught it, the atmosphere in the temple was already tense, so even though Su Yi had already said that he didn't need his protection, he still followed.
Luo Qingluan comforted Dongfang Zhidie for a while, and asked the guards to increase their care for Dongfang Zhidie before going back to rest.
Gradually into the night, the temperature plummeted, and the weather in early spring was still cold at night, Dongfang Zhidie half leaned on the bed, enduring the physical pain, looking at the blue and white teapot on the table.
She was thirsty and wanted to drink water, but she couldn't do something as simple as that. Stretching out her hand with difficulty, she wanted to support herself to get out of bed, but as soon as she moved, there was a sharp pain from the wound, which made her frown and frown, and almost screamed.
"Knock knock!" Suddenly, Dongfang Zhidie heard the sound of slamming the door, and she was even more frightened into a cold sweat.
She shuddered and asked, "Who...... Who is it? β
"It's me, Oriental girl, you haven't slept yet, have you?" Ao Xiuzhu's concerned voice sounded outside the door, gentle and mellow.
Dongfang Zhidie was relieved when she heard that it was Ao Xiuzhu's voice, she thought it was those assassins coming.
"What's the matter?"
"Oh, Dongfang girl, I'll take a look at your injuries......" Outside the door, Ao Xiuzhu just finished speaking, and immediately added: "Miss Luo told me, saying that your injury is not light, and I will take care of you more." I see your room is still lit up, so I'll take a look. β
Although she usually doesn't have a good impression of Ao Xiuzhu, at this moment, Dongfang Zhidie needs someone to accompany her. With a sigh of relief, she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Thank you, but Ao Gongzi, it's inconvenient for me to come down and open the door, so come in by yourself." β
There was a creak, and the door opened.
Ao Xiuzhu was dressed in green clothes, with a graceful demeanor, and entered slowly. Looking at his smiling face, Dongfang Zhidie lowered her head and laughed softly at herself: "Fortunately, it was you, you suddenly knocked on the door just now, and you almost scared me to death, I thought it was the man in black who killed again!" β
Dongfang Zhidie looked at Ao Xiuzhu who entered the door with disgust, Ao Xiuzhu also lost his temper at this time, but he didn't say anything: "I'm sorry, Dongfang girl, don't be angry, I didn't pay attention, I'll apologize to you." β
In fact, I just don't want to marry Ao Xiuzhu, if Dongfang Zhidie has any dissatisfaction with Ao Xiuzhu, it is really impossible to talk about it, after all, the two are also world friends. Especially after experiencing life and death last night, Ao Xiuzhu was no longer angry as if he had seen a long-lost relative.
Seeing that Dongfang Zhidie's face was relaxed, Ao Xiuzhu opened his mouth to ask how her injuries were, and then after a few words of concern, he said a little embarrassed: "Dongfang girl, you ...... Can you stop staying in this Puji Temple? β
Hearing him say this, Dongfang Zhidie was very strange, stared at him, and motioned for him to continue.
"Also, you can't say anything to Su Yi casually, you can't talk nonsense about the relationship between you and me, lest Su Yi misunderstand. I just have a marriage contract with you, but it was all the order of our parents, not our own intention, you know, right? β
Ao Xiuzhu also thought that Dongfang Zhidie agreed not to stay in Puji Temple, and explained more and more.
After listening to what Ao Xiuzhu said, Dongfang Zhidie had such an expression on her face, Ao Xiuzhu was her nominal fiancΓ©, and now she didn't comfort herself after she was so killed, she was just worried that other women would misunderstand, how could she not be angry?
Suddenly angry, Dongfang Zhidie said indignantly: "What does it have to do with me that you chase your beauty, I don't want to entangle with you, what are you afraid of." β
Ao Xiuzhu saw that she didn't listen to herself, so she explained: "Don't be like this, we are still a nominal fiancΓ©, it is indeed embarrassing for you to stay here, and I am ...... now Uh, what I like is Miss Sue, you know? Your identity will affect Miss Su's impression of me. β
"Is it, Ao Xiuzhu, it turns out that you have always thought so?" Dongfang Zhidie's face sank and she gritted her teeth.
Seeing Ao Xiuzhu come to care about her injury, she was still a little warm-hearted, but now she saw that Ao Xiuzhu was just blindly worried that her appearance would affect Su Yi's impression of him, and it seemed to be a basin of cold water poured down in an instant.
No longer listening to what Ao Xiuzhu was saying, Dongfang Zhidie scolded directly: "Ao Xiuzhu, I don't want to hear what you say, you get out of here for Miss Ben!" β
"You don't want this, okay? I really didn't want to make you angry, it's just Miss Su's business......" Ao Xiuzhu still didn't want to go out, and thought that Dongfang Zhidie didn't want to agree, so he still wanted to explain a few words.
"When did Miss Ben fall in love with you, I would have agreed to withdraw from the marriage a long time ago, don't come to harass me again!" Dongfang Zhidie angrily grabbed the other pillow next to her and threw it directly towards Ao Xiuzhu, "Get out!" β
"You ......" Ao Xiuzhu was speechless, and could only dodge. was said by Dongfang Zhidie, he was still a little embarrassed, looking at her red face, after all, he was worried that something would happen to her, so he had no choice but to touch his nose, turn around and walk out.
Who knows, Ao Xiuzhu just pushed the door open, and before he could react, a sword light flashed in front of him, shining like snow.
"Who!" Ao Xiuzhu shouted, and suddenly saw a man in black standing in front of him, holding a long sword and attacking him. Not only that, there were seven or eight behind the man in black, and they couldn't really be seen in the dark, all of them were holding sharp blades, and they looked murderous.
The black-clothed man's target was obviously more than Ao Xiuzhu, but he ignored him with a sword stab and rushed directly into the room.
Caught off guard, Dongfang Zhidie's eyes shrank, and the scene of last night seemed to have happened again.
"Someone, it's them, come on!" Between life and death, Dongfang Zhidie also forgot the pain on her body, and she didn't know where the strength came from, so she rolled into the bed and finally dodged the stabbing sword.
The sound of the sword suddenly sounded, Dongfang Zhidie knew some fist and foot kung fu, but she fought back in a hurry, and she was seriously injured, and in a moment, the wound burst out with blood, and she soon fell behind.
"Someone, come on!" Seeing that Dongfang Zhidie was attacked, Ao Xiuzhu wanted to help her, but the three men in black joined forces to besiege her, not to mention the rescue, he himself was also fighting hard, and after a little distraction, he was slashed on the arm, and blood flowed immediately.
Fortunately, the shouts of Dongfang Zhidie and Ao Xiuzhu attracted everyone, and Yongan and Yuan Xing quickly rushed over.
"Actually ......" Outside the courtyard, Yuan Xing saw it, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he immediately drew his sword and rushed over.
Yongxing Yong'an and the black-clothed people mingled, and there were many black-clothed people, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while, but fortunately, now in the territory of Puji Temple, the monks heard the sound of the fight and quickly rushed over.
One of the men in black seemed to be the leader, and seeing that it was difficult to get a favor and that he could not complete the task of assassination, he immediately let out a boo, and the group quickly withdrew, leaving only a corpse.
The temple seemed to have returned to its proper calm, and if you ignore the bloody corpse, you still think that nothing happened.
This corpse seems to be the key to solving the case, Yuan Xing and Yongan knew it, and immediately asked people to carry the corpse over, wanting to find any clues on the corpse's body.
After a simple search on the corpse, Yuan Xing didn't find anything, his face was a little ugly, but naturally he wouldn't give up. After thinking about it for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Yong'an, go and ask the young lady to take a look." β
On the other end, the sound of the fight also woke up Su Yi, who had not slept very well at night, but now when she heard the strange sound, Su Yi was a little scared. Holding on to the edge of the bed, Su Yi looked at Ruyi who came in in a hurry and said, "What happened?" β
"Miss, it seems that those men in black are here again." Ruyi held the lamp in his hand, put it on the table and said: "But don't worry, Miss, Yuan Guards and they have already gone, and the slave maid saw it with her own eyes just now, and now it's fine." β
"Oh, that's good." Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, there was a knock outside the door, and someone directly pushed open the door and walked in, Ruyi was just about to shout, but when he saw that it was Nangong Qing, he was suddenly dumbfounded and didn't say anything.
"You get out." Nangong Qing said in a deep voice.
I didn't understand Nangong Qing's worries, so I didn't say anything, I bowed and retreated obediently.
If it weren't for the fear that something would happen to Su Yi, how could Nangong Qing stay at Su Yi's door and guard her. At the first time of the accident, he hesitated for a moment, but fortunately there was nothing to do, and he was worried that Su Yi would be scared when he heard the voice, so he simply broke in directly.
Su Yi's little face was pale, and she seemed to be frightened, but when she saw Nangong Qing appearing at this time, her heart relaxed for no reason, and she said softly: "Why are you here?" If you don't sleep so late, watch out for your body. β
It seems like it's been a long time since I've heard such a gentle voice.
Nangong Qing was very happy, and the corners of his lips hooked and smiled.
Su Yi's trip to Beijun has always been very cold to him, as if he wants to completely cut off relations with him. Thinking of this, Nangong Qing suddenly regretted it, but if it weren't for him because of Long Ning......
couldn't help but hold Su Yi's hand, Nangong Qing sat on the edge of the bed, and his voice was extremely gentle: "I'm worried about you, so I'll take a look, are you okay?" Did the sound scare you? β
"Nothing." Su Yi lowered her head, and a touch of blush stained her neck.
Seeing that Su Yi didn't withdraw his hand, Nangong Qing's heart moved, and he couldn't help but clench it tightly, although Su Yi's face was red, he didn't say anything.
Holding Nangong Qing's hand, Su Yi was not only shy, but also a little embarrassed, how long ago did the two of them get along like this? Whether this is right or wrong now, Su Yi doesn't know.
What does this man want, there is also a favorite concubine Long Ning in the harem, doesn't he like Long Ning, and why should he do this to himself. Could it be that as Luo Qingluan said, most men in the world are careless?
Su Yi was very puzzled, her eyes directly collided with Nangong Qing's eyes, and they looked at each other, although they did not have the sweetness of the most affectionate heart-to-heart, but it also made people feel that the atmosphere was ambiguous.
Su Yi hurriedly turned her head away, no longer looked at him, and pulled her hand outward, wanting to take it out of Nangong Qing's hand, but Nangong Qing didn't give her this chance at all, he pulled Su Yi's hand very tightly.
Nangong Qing himself wanted to ask for reconciliation, but now that he saw that the time and place were favorable, he didn't waste the opportunity, took Su Yi's hand, encircled her whole person in his arms, and said softly: "Su Yi, don't make trouble, it's okay to go back with me, I know that I did something wrong before and snubbed you." I just hope you give me a chance, let's start anew. β
