Chapter 078: Assassination Again

Stealing incense?

Looking for fun?

The face of the missing pearl was slightly pale, and the meaning of the signature obviously referred to her and Murong Xi's affairs......

But the matter between her and Murong Xi has not yet begun.

However, she doesn't believe in fortune-telling at all, so don't think too much about it.

She didn't wait for Murong Ye beside her to speak, she turned around and walked towards the lucky boat.

"The Lost Pearl." Murong Ye strode forward and grabbed her arm, "Don't you want to go see the lanterns?" ”

The last time I came out with Murong Xi to see it, it was just a lantern festival. It's different from this time.

"I was a little uncomfortable, so I didn't look at it. If the Fifth Emperor Brother wants to see it, go there. I can go back on my own. With that, she shook off his big hand and walked in the direction of the back boat.

However, Murong Ye stood in place, glancing at the fortune teller behind him, and his thin lips hooked up a faint smile.

Because of the late relationship, and on the second day, I had to take a boat trip with Hua Ling and Murong Xi.

She didn't want to go and wanted to go back to the palace directly, but she thought that she had never traveled on a boat, and she wanted to experience that feeling. But......

I don't know how long I waited at the door of Hua Ling's house, but I saw that Hua Ling was sent back by the breeze.

Hua Ling's face was full of embarrassment, and then when she saw the missing pearl standing at the door of her house, she immediately ran forward, "You're going to scare me to death, where did you go?" ”

Yizhu said helplessly: "It's not that I was washed away by the crowd, so I walked around, and if I was bored, I came back to you first." ”

"Ninth Princess, it's good to see you here. The prince asked his subordinates to take you back to Prince Ping's mansion, please go with your subordinates. Qingfeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the missing pearl.

"I don't want it, I'm going to stay at Hua Ling's house for the night, and you can go back to your brother to get back to your life."

The breeze twisted his eyebrows, and then nodded his head, which was to leave the light work slightly.

Hua Ling was a little stunned, "You want to spend the night with me, but my bed is very small, you don't know." ”

"Then squeeze it."

"Yizhu, you are sick, put your royal brother's palace on the high pillow and soft couch and do not sleep, and come to sleep on my hard wooden bed."

"Oh, don't talk nonsense, let's go to sleep." Ignoring her objections, Yizhu directly pulled Hua Ling into Hua's house.

She really couldn't get used to sleeping in such a hard bed, so it could be said that she hadn't slept all night, but her mind was full of the words of the signature......

said that I don't believe it, but I have to admit that the signature is indeed a little accurate......

*************************************************************************

Straight down the banks of the river in the capital, there is a famous water city, and the water city is famous for its water architecture. It attracted many people from other places to watch.

And the lost pearl has long wanted to come and see it, but he has been restricted from traveling, so he can only walk around the capital, and he has never had the opportunity to come here.

didn't expect that the imperial brother actually brought her to this water city......

With the theme of gray and white, the whole row of houses, with eight Ling beams and columns, arc round spires, and cloisters are constantly ......

At first glance, it is truly spectacular.

"Lost pearl, don't you see the house in front of you is weird......" Hua Ling's white hand pointed to the building house in front of her, her face full of excitement and curiosity, "But these houses are so beautiful!" ”

The building of the house in front of it is a house that the pearl has never seen before. The flower spirit beside him looked extremely excited.

Yizhu glanced at the boat on another tour, on which were Murong Ye and Zhao Chuyao.

She wondered why they had come with her. It was a coincidence that I met last night, but what about now?

"Don't look like this, I don't know if the two of them have found out something, today is really the same coincidence as ever. I think that Zhao Chuyao is very kind to your Seventh Emperor Brother. Hua Ling was hindered by the fact that only Murong Xi was sitting behind him, so he whispered to the missing pearl: "It's just that your Seventh Emperor Brother doesn't seem to be very interested in that Miss Zhao." ”

"What about you, didn't you fall in love with my Fifth Emperor Brother at first sight? Why don't you go and offer some courtesy. ”

"Please, didn't you tell me to give up on your Fifth Emperor Brother? Why did you ask me to take the initiative to show favor again? ”

Lost Jewel: "......"

Suddenly, the boatman who supported the boat assumed the responsibility of the tour guide, and explained to them in detail, "The house on this street was designed and supervised by a golden man from another country. The man was from the West, but not from Chuxi. ”

"And where is that man now?" Hua Ling then asked, and the people of the other ships looked at her as if they had heard.

She was embarrassed, and suddenly glanced at the age of the houses on either side......

"The girl has a good sense of humor." With a chuckle, the boatman skillfully helped her dispel such a stiff atmosphere, "But the girl is a good question, that man has been dead for decades, and the people of Watertown have helped him make a statue in his memory, and now I will take you there." Just a short distance ahead......"

A few small boats slowly passed through a sparsely populated street, under a stone bridge, and finally came to an empty space, where the space was a circle. The buildings are all over the place.

It's just that......

The atmosphere is getting more and more wrong, and the surroundings are too quiet?

And there's no statue of the boatman that's what the boatman said!

"Uncle, where's the statue?" Hua Ling rolled her eyes for a moment, then raised her eyes to the boatman and asked.

I saw the boatman slowly put down the paddling, and the face under the straw hat showed a sinister smile, "If you want to see that man, you can, you can see him in person when you go down to the underworld!" The murderous voice fell quickly and quickly.

The boatmen of each small boat immediately threw down their paddles and jumped into the water, and the sound of falling water echoed around them, and countless black heads immediately popped up in the corridors of the buildings.

Before the missing pearl could react, Murong Xi behind her shouted loudly: "Jump into the water......" and then she only felt a push from the pass behind her, and her whole person fell into the water.

At the bottom of the water, she tried to break out of the water, and when she opened her eyes, she could clearly see sharp arrows shooting into the water.

Is that......

Assassin?

These two words passed through her mind, and she immediately dived underwater, holding her breath, blisters kept popping out of her nostrils, and her eyes were open looking for the thin figure.

She was pulled into the water by Murong Xi, but what about Hua Ling?

She furrowed her brow and swam under the boat......

Arrows rained down like a torrential of arrows, and the guards who were too late or unable to hold their breath in the water were shot, many of whom died instantly.

Seeing this, the assassin in the corridor slowly lowered his bow and searched for the few figures on the many corpses, but the masked man in the lead didn't see the person he wanted to kill, and said to a few of his subordinates beside him: "Go down immediately and check it out." ”

……

Using the corpse floating on the water as a cover, the bead felt that she couldn't hold it back, and wanted to cover up the boat, and floated to the surface to take a breath, but the moment her arms tightened, she turned her head. The view was blocked, and there was a black pressure in front of him. She felt only her lips sucked at two soft pieces, and she was still breathing into her mouth.

As if taking a few breaths, a pair of small hands climbed up to the arms of the person in front of him. Shocked......

It's Murong Xi......

The moment he let go of himself, the Lost Bead's vision was still blurred, and his arm was pulled and he sank deeper into the water, pulling himself closer to the building.

As soon as her hand grasped his big hand, he turned back and sealed her lips, and poured into her mouth, back and forth several times. They approached the building. When the water pressure came, they didn't hear any sound at all, Murong Xi held down the head of the missing pearl to prevent her from probing into the water, but he poked out of the water first......

They were now hiding in a hole in the building, and no one noticed them here.

With a light breath, he let go of his big hand, and the people under the water immediately struggled out of the water in a big way.

There was an uproar, and it was obvious that the cave was reverberating, causing the assassins who were counting the corpses outside to approach one after another.

Murong Xi was startled, and hurriedly pressed the head of the missing pearl into the water, and when he wanted to go into the water, a feather arrow shot down quickly, and he immediately plunged into the water.

……

She had just struggled out of the water, and before she could breathe a breath, she was pressed into the water again.

She is not a fish, she only breathes with her lungs, and if she stays in the water and holds her breath, she will definitely be suffocated!

Thinking of this, she wanted to struggle, but the man who was holding her tightly kissed her again, and poured her breath into her mouth, and she struggled weakly with his big hand, trying to get out of the water when he let go of herself. The waist branch is buckled. They both sank a little deeper to the bottom.

They didn't know where to go, and it was a city full of water, and if it wasn't supported by boats or floats, they would surely die.

……

"How many escaped?" The masked man in the lead yelled at his men who were searching for people everywhere, and an echo immediately echoed everywhere.

"Damn it all fled!" On the boat, one of the masked men in black raised his head towards the leader standing upstairs.

The masked man's body was slightly stunned, and his eyes were sharp.

"They're over there!" Suddenly, someone from the boat on the water shouted.

He immediately followed the sound of the voice, and saw a pair of figures looking towards a hole that connected to another street. The palm of his hand immediately stretched out to the subordinate beside him, and said in a dark voice: "Bow and arrow!" ”

……

Grabbing the woman behind them, the two of them walked towards the entrance of the cave, and if they were out of the cave and they were on another street, the assassins would not dare to catch up.

"Ahem......" took a breath, and the missing bead let the man in front of her drag her to another part of the hole, her whole body strength seemed to be drained, and the whole person was confused, maybe because she was too tired! She felt like her hands and feet were going numb.

There was a sudden strange sound behind him, and Murong Xi looked back, a feather arrow shot quickly towards them, so fast that he couldn't pull the woman behind him into the water at all, but he could only use his body to protect her.

The man in front of her suddenly hugged her from behind, and the missing pearl suddenly came to his senses, and pushed him weakly, "Murong Xi ......"

Unexpectedly, a strange muffled grunt came out of his chest, and she turned her head to see that the assassin was already in the water behind her. Before she could react, the man behind her was already pushing her towards the entrance of the cave.

The buildings that connect to the entrances are old houses on both sides. Seeing the Assassin chasing after him, the jewel immediately walked down the stairs on the shore, but the man behind him did not follow. She turned her head to look, and her heart was immediately pierced by a dagger! The wet little hand covered his mouth, and a numbing pain pressed into his chest.

She saw that he had a feathered arrow stuck in his back......

"Brother Huang......" Yizhu squatted down and grabbed his shoulders, and muttered in a hoarse voice: "You hold on, the assassin is coming, you have to hold on!" ”

Hearing her nasal voice, the pale Murong Xi twisted his eyebrows slightly, and tried to step on the shore along the stairs under the water.

The two of them burst out of the water, attracting the attention of the people passing by the shore, holding the seriously injured man, and looking around. There weren't many people here. The assassins behind him chased after them, and seeing their fierce appearance, they must have slashed their swords and killed them regardless of whether there were people or not!

……

Seeing two figures not far in front of them, one of the assassins wanted to swing his sword forward, but suddenly pushed out a wooden cart at the entrance of the alley, almost knocking them down, and the people in brown clothes on the cart saw this, lowered their heads and wanted to apologize, and when they raised their eyes, they caught a glimpse of them holding a long sword with a cold light, and they were so frightened that they immediately turned around and fled.

Seeing this, five or six masked men kicked the wooden cart with a kick of their long legs, and the sacks on the wooden cart also fell to the ground. They looked up, but they were gone.

"Look everywhere!" A gloomy voice ordered, and several subordinates behind him immediately dispersed. Only one of them followed him, looking for the water on the ground.

They had just come up from the bottom of the water, and they were sure to leave water stains everywhere they went.

But I wanted to look for the water stains along the stone road, but Tiangong fell raindrops the size of beans.

In just a moment, the water droplets kept falling, and the people on the street gathered their stalls to take shelter from the rain. The whole street was washed by the rain and became hazy.

The masked man in the lead clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and said coldly: "One of them was hit by an arrow, and it is estimated that he will not live long!" Remove! ”

……

"Meow ......" A few wild cats of various coats and colors carefully sniffed the smell on the ground, approaching the two uninvited guests.

After the probe saw that the group of black-pressed assassins had retreated, the missing pearl breathed a sigh of relief, but the man who suppressed it fell into a semi-coma.

"Brother Huang......" She moved her shoulders, only to see that his head buried in her neck socket did not move, her heart was like fire, she reached out to hold her and his face, only to see that his face was pale, a pair of phoenix eyes that were usually filled with hypocrisy and tenderness were also closed, her heart was like being slashed by a blade, she called softly in a hoarse voice: "Brother Huang, don't you die......"

The sky was getting darker, and the rain was stopping. The lanterns on the streets of Watertown gradually lit up, and the faint light scattered on the two of them, and she did not dare to move for fear of the wounds on his body.

"Meow...... Meow meow ......" Suddenly, a small and soft voice came from the mouth of the alley.

The man stared at the man in his arms, only to see that his face was getting whiter and paler, but looking along his wet black hair, the feather arrow was still deep in his back.

If her heart was pricked by ten thousand needles, she didn't wait for the missing beads to react, there were small footsteps at the entrance of the alley, her slightly trembling body tensed slightly, and she touched her waist and Murong Xi's body, and there was no dagger or self-defense weapon. If the Assassins had found them, they would have died! 

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the missing pearl hugged the man in his arms, stared at his handsome face with his eyes closed, held his breath, and listened to the footsteps. 

"Meow ......" on the ground, the wild cats around her suddenly rushed to the alley.

The pearl couldn't help but look at it, and saw the figure squatting down in the alley, through the light of the lantern pouring in from outside the alley, she saw the comer clearly......

"Come on, come on, it's time to eat......" The immature voice revealed a touch of softness, and the woman seemed to be in her prime. She squatted down and put the bowl of rice in her hand on the ground, allowing the wild cat to come forward and grab the food.

She only watched quietly, but there was a dull cough in the dark alley, her body stiffened, and she raised her eyes to see something pressed in the black next to the bamboo basket in the alley.

"Ah......h

The bead raised her eyes helplessly and cast a look of help to her.

In the dark, the woman saw clearly that the black thing was a person, and it was a woman and a wounded man!

……

In the small room, the candlelight flickered, the beads changed into clean clothes, standing outside the door of the room, through the refraction of the oil paper door and the candle flame printed figure, quietly condensed in the movement in the room.

The little hand is tightly placed on her chest, she doesn't know why every time she comes out, she ends up like this, last time it was Changqing, but this time it was Murong Xi!

"Miss Murong doesn't need to be so sad, my father has excellent medical skills, I think he can definitely save your brother!" The woman standing behind her stepped forward and took her hands, casting a reassuring look at her.

Although she is in danger every time she leaves the palace, she is lucky to be rescued by well-wishers, and she only hopes that this time it will not affect them.

"Thank you Yinguan, if you hadn't saved us, our brother and sister might be ...... now"

"You've been saying this for more than half a night, since my father went in to see the injury for your brother to now, you have thanked you about dozens of times!" Holding the hands of the missing pearl, Yinguan saw her frowning, and couldn't help but reach out to smooth her out, "Your brother must be fine, don't be afraid, look at your body is still shivering, are you still cold?" ”

"No ......" Zhu Zhu turned around, the little face drooped slightly, and a childish face and a kind face appeared in his mind. "My friends, they died with me, I wonder what happened to them? Although my brother and I avoided the killer, my brother was wounded by an arrow in order to save me. ”

She understood why Murong Xi suddenly hugged her from behind in the cave, and the reason was to block arrows for herself......

Why defend her from arrows?

Why let yourself owe him his life.

By doing so, he will only make it more and more difficult for him to refuse......

"Jiren has its own nature! Murong, you don't need to worry too much, you have to believe your father and your brother, they will be fine! Yinguan's face was delicate, and he put on a smile that made people feel warm when he saw it, and directly ignored the word girl. 
