Chapter 221: The Stars Seem to Be Falling
Two hours later, it was getting dark.
After Ji Qingge woke up from a sweet dream, he opened the Xuan window. Dressed in white, he stood against the window, looking at the brightly lit Jing'an City in the distance.
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky above the imperial city, setting off the flavor of the imperial city more and more.
The corners of Ji Qingge's lips curled up with a touch of smugness, and he looked at Di Jinxuan lying on the carved wooden bed with the corner of his eye. He looked at her with a slightly lazy gaze, raised his right hand, and tapped the edge of the bed.
With a touch of apology in his eyes, Ji Qingge closed the Xuan window, turned around and returned to Di Jinxuan to lie down. She whispered in his ear
"You haven't slept?"
Tonight may be destined to be a sleepless night for many people. He can't sleep well during the day, so what if he stays late at night?
"With you, I can't bear to fall asleep."
Hearing his perfunctory words, she smiled knowingly. Whisper to him, "Wait for me, I'll surprise you." ”
While she was not sleeping, she heard a small noise coming from the next room. If nothing else, she will definitely be able to catch someone's shadow guard in the past.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingge's beautiful face instantly showed a smile that he was winning.
She quickly put on her white dress and veiled. Hiding the delicate and sharp dagger at his waist, he gently opened the window with both hands, and the sturdy figure jumped out, and in an instant, a white shadow fell in the backyard of the inn.
Lightly approached a cliff cypress root carved coffee table next to the rockery, only to see that there were undried water stains on the coffee table.
Ji Qingge's narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a glint in an instant. Thinking that she finally ran downstairs in vain, the shadow guard ...... It should be in the backyard.
According to her intuition, the shadow guard was definitely a woman.
Because she faintly smelled the fragrant smell of Molin grass. is not only a woman, but also may be like Bai Yuqian in Xiao Wangfu, a female shadow guard who knows both medicine and poison.
The howling wind passed through the silent inn, blowing the lantern tied to a vigorous old tree in the backyard to the ground. Although the lantern has no light, you can see that the beautiful lantern is about to be blown into the artificial lake.
Ji Qingge still regretted it for a moment in his heart.
It always felt like the lantern had fallen a little strangely, because she had carefully observed everything around her since she came to the inn during the day. No lanterns were found on the old trees......
The corners of his lips provoked a sarcastic smile, Ji Qingge took out the poison needle that had been hidden in advance from his sleeve, and shot it sharply at the lantern.
"Bang!"
As a dull sound fell, as soon as Ji Qingge raised his eyes, a pebble came from the ancient tree. Impartially, it happened to hit her right foot.
She was suspicious in her heart, could it be the shadow guard's warning to her? Let her retreat?
Ha ha!
If she was really afraid of things, she wouldn't leave the warm embrace of her family's emperor and creditor, and she would come to meet someone's shadow guard.
A trace of yin fowl flashed in Ji Qingge's eyes, and his dexterous figure jumped up, and instantly flew to the top of the ancient tree.
"Huh."
But when she saw a cold sword light flashing, she had just grabbed the branch and stood firm, when the sword stabbed at her coldly.
Ji Qingge's left hand was raised suddenly, and he tightened the wrist of the other party's right hand holding the sword. A voice as cold as a thousand years of ice asked
"With such skills, you still want to hide behind strange stones and release dark arrows?"
"Haha!"
A cold laugh came from the mouth of the black-clothed woman dressed as a man. She suddenly lifted the veil, and a pair of eyes bursting with bloodthirsty cold eyes locked Ji Qingge's veiled face. Sarcastic Word
"Fox demon girl, you really smell like a fox. You say, wouldn't it be good for you to stay in Yancheng? I have to go back to the imperial city to harm people. ”
Ji Qingge's angry eyes were full of stars, and he said coldly, "Ahhhh You're all over the place. She clenched the other party's wrist tightly, and couldn't help but increase it a little more.
The two women were just deadlocked on the ancient tree, and no one would let anyone.
Ji Qingge glanced at the guest room on the third floor of Emperor Jinxuan, and saw that he had not yet lit the lamp, so he was a little relieved. The cold question of the woman in black sounded in his ears
"Say, who are you?"
"Should I ask you that?" Ji Qingge's sharp eyes shot at the woman, and said coldly.
"You don't need to know who I am." The woman in black pressed the branch with her left hand and tried to raise her foot to kick Ji Qingge.
Ji Qingge took the first step and let go suddenly, taking advantage of the fact that the woman in black was almost not able to stand firm. Then he kicked his right foot and kicked the woman in black away from the trunk.
Before the woman in black fell to the ground, Ji Qingge took out the dagger on his waist and flew out of his palm with a "whoosh". The dagger slashed a golden light in the air and stabbed straight into the chest of the woman in black.
"Ah......h
Just when the body of the woman in black fell, a pool of purple-black blood oozed from the cobblestone ground. Ji Qingge jumped down from the ancient tree and flew down beside the woman in black.
Listening to the wail of the woman in black before she died, Ji Qingge raised her right foot and stepped heavily on the dagger inserted into the woman's chest. The woman's screams were more desolate than before, but she didn't say a word.
The woman's silence was also expected by Ji Qingge.
She said coldly, "Who are you, in fact, I don't bother to know." But I can see that you are a poor and hateful woman. ”
The woman lying on the cold ground glared at Ji Qingge, but she was powerless to say a word. The corners of her mouth twitched, and after two "ah, woo" sounds, she closed her eyes.
Ji Qingge leaned over and reached out to probe the snort of the woman in black. After making sure that the other party was dead, he relieved himself to pull out the dagger stabbed in the woman's chest and turned to leave.
The dagger was the one she had smeared with the ink sandalwood poison powder beforehand, and the woman was injured by the dagger. The purple-black blood stains that oozed after poisoning were filled with a pungent stench.
The cold wind hit, blowing the pungent fishy smell farther behind the rockery.
Yan Xiyun, who was hiding behind the rockery and eavesdropping, was pregnant. She didn't want to interfere with anything about her husband, Jun Yan Wangye, but she couldn't hold back the tumbling of her stomach, and instantly felt tightness in her chest and nausea.
Yan Xiyun looked at Yan Wangye who was holding her with an apologetic look, and said softly, "I ......" Before she could say a word, she vomited.
This vomiting made Ji Qingge, who was hiding in the shadows, listen to it really.
thought that she was really right, not only got rid of a shadow guard in the Yan Wang's Mansion. also indirectly expressed her attitude to Lord Yan
He could have been his crown prince, but if his people put a cold arrow in his back again, she would definitely return it to him with interest.
Sikong Youpian standing in front of the window has been silently watching Ji Qingge's figure. His right wrist was clenched by his father, Sikong Junfeng, and he couldn't move.
His father's deep voice sounded in his ears, "For my father, I don't interfere in your affairs, but please ...... Don't be obsessed with it anymore. ”
"Father," Sikong Youpian glanced at a trace of pity in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The child understands, she is a married woman." But the child didn't think anything more about her. ”
Because I have Princess Xiao in my heart, I only wish her to be well, and I don't want her to be hurt in the slightest.
