I don't even know how I spent these three days.

But by the time I reacted, it was already the morning of the third day that the man in black said.

"Peach Heart!" I called out urgently.

Peach Heart was guarding the door at this time, and when she heard me shouting, she hurriedly pushed open the door and trotted in, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”

"Quick, help me prepare the carriage!"

"Princess, where are you going?"

Glancing at the puzzled expression of Taoxin, I raised a smile in order not to make her suspicious, "Didn't you return the moonstone to the queen mother for me two days ago?" After thinking about it, I still feel that something is wrong, after all, the queen is noble, and it will inevitably refute her face by returning the things she sent back so hastily, so at least I have to apologize to her in person! ”

Saying this, Tao Xin suddenly realized, "Then the slave will accompany you?" ”

"No need!" I walked over to the table and fixed my eyes on her, "Let's go get the carriage ready!" I've got something to tell you later. ”

"Yes!"

After Peach Heart withdrew, we took out a dagger and several poison-stained money darts from the hidden compartment under the case, and hid them in the waist and cuffs respectively.

Finally, I picked up the pen and ink on the desk, and hurriedly wrote down the words "abandoned temple on the outskirts of the city".

When the ink was dry, I carefully put the paper in the envelope and closed it.

Then, after such a short gap, the peach heart who had gone out to prepare the carriage also returned.

He whispered to me through the beaded curtain, "Princess, the carriage is ready!" ”

"Hmm!" I nodded, walked over to her, and handed her the envelope in my hand, "If I don't come back at Shen Shi, you can give this letter to Shen Xiao!" ”

Momokin sensed that something was wrong, and looked at me with a look of consternation, "Princess, who are you?" ”

I naturally knew that she was worried, so I deliberately pulled up a smile, "What are you stupid girl thinking, I just have something to explain to him, and I have always been unable to see him recently, so I have to leave a book for him!" ”

As soon as she said this, Momokin was relieved to stop talking, and I took the opportunity to bypass her and walk outside the prince's mansion.

When the carriage carried me slowly to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, the sun rose impartially above my head, and the shadow was just under my feet.

I narrowed my dry eyes slightly and looked at a temple not far away among the lush trees, and I was amazed.

Although there is no ordinary temple smoke and the sound of chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha can not be heard, but looking at the gilded courtyard wall from afar, where is there a trace of an abandoned temple? On the contrary, in this mountainous outskirts, it looks magnificent and a little weird.

However, as I stepped into the courtyard of this ruined temple, it dawned on me that this place really seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.

Because unlike the appearance, the courtyard is broken and dark, covered with cobwebs, the yellow walls of the ruined window pages are swaying from side to side with the breeze blowing from nowhere, there is a slight "squeak" sound, and there is a big tree in the center of the courtyard that has been dead for a long time, so that I have an illusion in an instant, as if stepping into the temple is not a ruined temple, but a ghost house, and the dead tree hangs a few rotten Zen flags that can't distinguish the original color like hanging ghosts, staring at me greedily with red eyes, Teeth and claws.

I couldn't help but feel a little chill in my heart, and I even thought about turning my head and leaving for a moment.

But I knew very well that the man in black was hiding somewhere in this gloomy courtyard at this time and looking at me, let alone turning his head away, and even if I had a superfluous movement at this time, he would probably appear in front of me like a ghost, and then quickly take my little life.

Thinking of this, I had to cry out with courage, "Anyone? ”

But as my words fell, until the aftermath drifted away from the dayless courtyard, the only thing that answered me was the occasional wind, like the crying of an old woman, and a chill ran down my spine.

Other than that, the courtyard was so quiet that you could hear the faint sound of spiders jumping between the branches, and it was a terrible silence.

"Is there anyone?" I continued to tremble and move my steps.

When I stepped on the thick fallen leaves piled up in the yard, my footsteps sank into it and there was a muffled "rustle" sound.

In the suffocating silence around him, it was particularly harsh and unpleasant.

I stopped, deliberately looked around, and deliberately shouted at the top of my voice, "Is it no one?" That... I'm back? ”

After waiting for a moment, the surroundings were still silent.

Could it be that the man in black really didn't come?

I had a hint of luck in my heart, and then I unconsciously moved back a little...

Just then, I was slapped on the shoulder from behind, causing me to stumble forward, and I was on the verge of screaming in the haunted courtyard.

When I raised my eyes again, a black figure had already stood in front of me.

I saw him smile, holding one hand behind him, and praised me lightly, "The crown princess is really keeping her promise!" ”

I secretly pinched my palm, and when my heart that felt frightened and beating calmed down a bit, I pulled up a mocking smile and said, "Your Excellency is really cautious." ”

The man in black understood what I meant, and he didn't defend himself, so he simply shrugged his shoulders, "No way, doing what we do, licking blood from the knife edge, it's a habit for a long time." ”

It's a good sentence that has long been a habit, I sneered.

It seems that this guy often does such unsightly things, but what scares me now is that this man's martial arts are probably more advanced than I can imagine, otherwise, when he just approached me, I didn't even hear the slightest sound, he seemed to appear out of thin air.

I gasped, and the man in black took the opportunity to cut directly to the topic, "Princess, I don't know if the ten good men and women agreed with the next one, did the princess bring them well?" ”

His eagle-sharp eyes looked straight at me.

I laughed for a while, secretly squeezed the money dart in my hand, and then glanced at the situation in the courtyard at this time.

According to the original plan, I wanted to stabilize this guy first, and then kill him while he was unprepared!

But now it seems that I am too underestimated and overestimate myself, the martial arts of the man in black are so high, I want to kill him with my own strength, I am afraid it is most appropriate to describe it as a fantasy.

In this situation, I can only stabilize him first, and then take the opportunity to escape!

Seeing that I didn't reply, the man in black instantly cooled down by half a minute, "What?" Crown Princess, has you forgotten the agreement between us? ”

Bah! Who made an appointment with you?

I took a sip and said with a quiet smile on my face, "Look at what you said, if you didn't bring anyone here, could it be that I would still run to die by myself?" ”

"That's good!" The man in black looked at me like an eagle for a moment, and then spread his hands at me and said, "Then ask the crown princess to hand over the person!" ”

"Of course, there are people, but when I got out of the carriage, I thought they were troublesome, so I threw them in the carriage first, or... Excuse me? ”

I smiled dryly and reached out to him in a "please" gesture.

The man in black just raised his chin to look at me, and his body didn't move for half a minute.

After a moment's pause, I withdrew my hand knowingly, and said with a "flattering" smile, "Then, Your Excellency is waiting here, and I'll go and bring those people!" ”

With that, I quickly turned around.

A cold voice floated behind him, "Stop." ”

I secretly screamed in my heart, thinking that he had seen some clues?

But at this time, I didn't have to show any expression, so I had to turn back with a smile, "What else do you have to say?" ”

"Hmph," the man in black sneered and walked slowly towards me, "You woman, have you forgotten that I just told you that I was doing a knife licking blood? Do you think you can fool me with your little insect carving skills? ”

With that, he pulled the scimitar out of his scabbard.

At this time, the long blade with cold light trembled slightly in the occasional wind in the courtyard, and the slight sound of the blade's "woo" echoed the sound of the wind's "woo", and the two were mixed together to echo in this ruined courtyard, just like that.

Unexpectedly, my mind was seen so thoroughly that my palms couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

But the loser does not lose, and then I straightened my waist, and simply stopped pretending with him, looked directly at him and said, "I admit, I didn't bring anyone today, I came alone." ”

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"I'm afraid!" I answered truthfully.

Then after a pause, the hand hidden in the wide sleeve secretly clenched the poisonous money dart.

The man in black smiled disdainfully, "I'm really curious, since you are afraid of death and dare to send it to the door, it must be some kind of ghost idea... Like trying to kill me? ”

"Yes!" I still told the truth, and then my eyes rose with infinite contempt, "I just want to kill you, because I am more afraid of becoming a mad devil like you than I am afraid of death!" ”

"You're looking for death!" The man in black came at me with a knife.

It was too late, and the money dart I pinched in my hand took advantage of this gap and flew from the wrist to the face of the black-clothed man with a hideous face and was attacking me, but...

"Boom"

With this crisp sound, the man in black let out a weird laugh, and it was actually my money dart that was blocked by him with the blade of the knife!

I was so angry that I stomped my feet, but I had no choice but to take out the pitiful dagger at my waist under the moves of the man in black pressing step by step, and with the kung fu of my three-legged cat, I kept retreating while struggling to block the attack, and my mind became a pot of boiling porridge by the way.

But even if I can barely block the attack of the man in black, I am a woman after all, and after a little loss of physical strength, I finally succeeded in falling behind, and my shoulders were still colored.

The most important thing is that the man in black is still coming towards me relentlessly, but my hand holding the dagger is unable to use any strength due to injury?

Dry!

I cursed secretly, and sat on the ground not knowing what to do, when there was a crisp sound of "dang" above my head.

Then, the long knife in the hand of the man in black was suddenly shaken down.

"You don't feel ashamed when a big man bullies a woman, but your face has been lost by you." A cool voice floated out of the Buddhist hall of the ruined temple.

The man in black covered his arm that was shocked and painful, and said sharply, "Who are you?" Hugh be nosy! ”

"Nosy?" The voice laughed out loud as if it were a joke, "You are disturbing my leisure by making trouble in front of my house, and you still say that I am nosy? ”

The aftermath fell, and a white figure finally walked out of the Buddhist hall of the abandoned temple.

It's an old man! I saw him stretch out his hand and pretend to stroke his goat's whiskers, and then pretended to stretch out his hand in front of me, "Come, girl! ”

I thought he was kind enough to help me, and I was grateful, but when I raised my hand, this guy turned around and faced the man in black and suddenly said, "By the way, you fake is so bad, the old man can't let you out and harm people again!" ”

"What did you say?" The Men in Black are tyrannical.

When he wanted to make a move with the old man, he seemed to have some concerns because his arm was so shocked that he had to give up and want to slip away.

And the old man naturally wouldn't let him get his way, so in my envious eyes, the old man knocked out the man in black with three strokes and five divisions? You know, I almost died in his hands just by taking the move, and now this thing is so easily knocked out by this old man?

Master! Masters!

I sighed twice, and when he was about to walk to the abandoned temple with the man in black on his shoulder, I forced myself to stand up and follow his footsteps.

"Wait, old-timer!"

The old man turned his head slightly, his gray head was raised by the wind, and he looked "disgusted"?

"What, you're still here?"

Belch...

"yes!" I scratched my head embarrassedly, then pointed to the man in black on his shoulder, "He's a murderous demon, and his kung fu is very deep!" The old-timers should hand him over to the government! ”

"Huh?" The old man looked "disgusted" again, and then threw the unconscious man in black on his shoulder to the ground.

"It's a fake!"

The old man casually took off one of the shoes of the man in black, which caused me to subconsciously cover my mouth and nose, but he threw the shoe in front of me.

I was curious, and I couldn't help but take a look, and then I realized that the shoes of the man in black were actually padded with a thick layer of cotton.

To put it this way... At first, he clearly deliberately patted me on the back, so that I thought that he appeared behind me quietly because of his martial arts, so as to achieve his purpose of pretending to bluff me?

I was so angry that my fingers trembled slightly, but the old man took the opportunity to gloat, "You little girl, you have been tricked!" However, your two-legged cat deserves to be tricked! ”

"It's a three-legged cat!" I corrected the old man, then rushed to the unconscious man in black and kicked him a few times! I don't give up until I feel relieved!

"But..." After a while, the old man scooped up the black-clothed man with a blue nose and swollen face and carried it back on his shoulder, looked at me with a serious look and said, "Girl, how can you provoke such a person at your young age?" ”

The old man sighed a few times after a puzzled expression, and then shook his head and walked into the Buddhist hall.

I was stunned for a moment, still not understanding what he meant.

I was about to catch up and ask, but he raised his hand and knocked down a broken door to block my way, and then a sentence came out leisurely, "Little girl, you better go back!" Remember, you've never seen me, and I don't know who you are! ”

Oh? Interesting!

I raised an eyebrow and smiled, remembering what he had just said...

Looks like he did say this was his house...

Hehe, a smile welled up in my eyes, and an idea came to my mind.

I was fascinated by the pain of the wound on my body, as if I had forgotten the pain of the wound on my body, and I just stood in place, looking in the direction the old man had left for a long time without retracting my gaze.

Until there was a sound of anxious footsteps outside the ruined temple.

"Princess!" There was a shout behind him.

In the next second, my body was pulled by.

"You're hurt?" Shen Xiao's eyes were filled with deep shock and heartache, carefully checking if I was injured anywhere else.

I smiled helplessly, and then shook my head, "I'm fine!" ”

"How... It's all my fault that I came too late. ”

I looked at him with a look like he was hurting, and I couldn't help but smile, and walked straight past Shen Xiao and the staring guards behind him, and walked out.

After a while, seeing that he didn't follow, he turned back to the gate of the courtyard and smiled at the man who was still very guilty, "This brother, can you go?" I'm getting hungry! ”
