Chapter 217: A Chance Encounter at Night
The night is deep, the moon is high, and the city is quiet.
It was as if everything in heaven and earth had fallen into a deep sleep.
Zixi's figure quickly shuttled through the night, passed through the wide pavilion courtyard, and swept out of the princess's mansion in a few breaths.
Before asking Chu Ning's words, Zixi originally planned to go to the palace, so he said that Zi Xi would go back later.
However, Chu Ning promised her to take her into the palace tomorrow morning, so Zixi naturally didn't need to take this risk anymore - anyway, the palace was heavily guarded, and it was not so easy to break into.
Leaving the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she let out a long breath.
Helping Su Jin detoxify can be regarded as completing a key event.
Chu Ning is a very powerful person, even if she may not be able to become a helper, at least she can't be a resistance to herself.
Saved Su Jin - Although it was a transaction, Zixi knew that Chu Ning would remember this favor.
Besides, since Su Jin knew who caused this poison, Chu Ning also knew that the poison in Su Jin's body was to deal with her, even if they would not take the initiative to deal with Chu Huan, they would not be so loyal as to protect him.
And this will undoubtedly be very convenient for Zixi's future actions.
Therefore, Zixi is in a very good mood.
And this good mood only lasted for a few breaths.
Tonight, the stars and moon were dim, the streets of the imperial city were dark and silent, Zixi was about to go back to the county king's mansion, but he didn't expect to meet someone.
A man.
A man who is short of breath, staggering, and has a long body, dressed in red.
Even though the moon was dark in the sky and there was no light on the streets.
But when such a man appeared on the road, how could Zixi not notice it?
The man was wounded, badly wounded, and the smell of blood was strong.
Zixi's footsteps paused slightly, stopped more than a dozen steps behind the man, and silently, watched the man staggering forward.
She looked at it quietly for a while, frowning slightly, and faintly felt that the man in front of her was somewhat familiar.
It's not just because of the familiarity of that glimpse, but the man's back makes her feel familiar.
And this familiarity made her follow without the slightest hesitation.
Men's martial arts should be good, and you can still use light skills even if you are injured - it's just that light skills are not very smooth, and after walking for a while, you have to stumble and stop for a moment, cover your heart and cough a few times, and then continue walking.
Zixi followed behind him in silence.
After a tea hour, the man walked to the gate of a grand mansion.
There is a lantern hanging in front of the mansion.
As the lights lit up, Zixi, who was hidden in the dark, clearly saw the messy scars on the man's body, almost all of the red clothes were broken, and the scars were bloody......
Zixi's brows couldn't help frowning a little deeper.
"Childe is back." The two guards outside the gate obviously recognized this man, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute respectfully, and then smelled blood on the tip of his nose, and suddenly raised his head, "Childe is injured?!" ”
The man took a deep breath and said lightly, "I'm fine, open the door." ”
The voice is deep, as clear and peaceful as flowing water.
"Yes." The guards hurriedly spoke, one of them walked into the gate of the mansion with the man in his arms, and the other guard closed the door with a very urgent tone, "Go and call Mr. Jin, and say that the son is injured." ”
"Yes!"
Zixi stood outside the door, listening to the footsteps inside the door gradually disappearing.
Standing quietly for a while, Zixi looked up and looked at the vigorous and elegant word "Qin Mansion" on the plaque above the mansion, and frowned slightly.
