Chapter 14: Eavesdropping comes at a cost
The feast continued, but Shi Niang didn't have the heart to sit here anymore.
Ever since Liu Tianye said that he would redeem her and give it to the prince of Nanwang, the scene has become subtle.
During the banquet, men kept throwing "red fruit" eyes at her, and she only had goosebumps all over her body.
Wind and twilight were completely unaffected by this atmosphere, and sat there as expressionless as a rock, as if there was a strong sense of rejection for everything here.
provoked Shi Niang to always want to complain, your sister, did you come to the banquet for posing?
finally got a free place, Shi Niang said it was convenient to go, so she took the opportunity to leave the table.
Shangshu Mansion occupies a lot of land, and Shi Niang didn't let the maid follow, but she walked around the garden and finally got lost.
She walked back from memory, and just as she was passing through a row of bushes, she suddenly heard a man talking from the other side.
Shi Niang's footsteps froze, and the voice seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if it was Liu Tianye's voice.
She leaned down, ducked behind the bushes, and looked intently through the gaps in the trees to where the sound had come from.
Liu Tianye was standing in the garden with a man in black with his back to her.
"I didn't expect this wind and twilight cold to be really fateful." Liu Tianye's voice was cold, diametrically opposed to the gentle attitude in front of everyone in the banquet.
"The subordinates are incompetent, and please punish the master." The man in black fell to one knee and hung his head.
The moment Shi Niang saw the man in black, she connected him with the group of people who had chased and killed Crescent White on the street before.
Unexpectedly, they turned out to be sent by Liu Tianye, and they really knew people and faces, but they didn't know their hearts, and they were so kind when they laughed just now, but they turned out to be beasts!
Shi Niang is cautious, this kind of eavesdropping on other people's secrets is still careful, if the other party finds out, he will definitely be killed.
She hid behind the bushes, afraid to move, for fear of being discovered by them.
I only heard Liu Tianye say: "How many dead soldiers are left from His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
"There are twelve left." The man in black said in a deep voice.
Liu Tianye snorted coldly, "This time we must cut the grass and eradicate the roots!" ”
"Yes!" The man in black hurriedly retreated, knowing that if he failed again this time, even his life would not be saved.
Shi Niang didn't have the heart to listen to it anymore.
She couldn't understand what that sick guy had done, offended the prince and Liu Tianye, those people failed in the first assassination, and now they had to prepare for the second ......
Realizing that she was in danger now, she bent over and slowly backed away, intending to go back the way she came.
She just wants to live her life well, and she doesn't want to have a half-dime relationship with these dangerous guys.
Who knew that she had just taken two steps back, and happened to step on a dead branch on the ground, and with a "click", the dead branch was broken into two.
Liu Tianye's face suddenly darkened, "What person! He let out a loud shout.
At the same time, the man in black who had not gone far jumped up and struck straight towards the position of the bushes.
Shi Niang complained bitterly in her heart.
The other party is strong in martial arts, where can she be their opponent, secretly hating herself for meddling in her own affairs, eavesdropping on other people's secrets, and now she has suffered retribution.
But sitting still is definitely not her style, the rabbit is in a hurry and there is a time to bite, and in an instant several action plans crossed her mind.
Subconsciously, she casually picked up a piece of tree from the ground and held it in her hand.
As soon as she straightened up, she was firmly held by a hand behind her, and her body soared into the air in an instant, so startled that she almost screamed.
"If you don't want to die, be quiet." The burning breath rubbed against her ears, making her hot and itchy.
A gorgeous robe met her eyes, glowing with a faint silver light, like a dazzling sun, so that she couldn't open her eyes.
"Hold on to ......," the man said coldly, and at the same time his strong hand tightened her waist, and after a few leaps, he jumped onto a nearby attic, and the two of them hid themselves.
It wasn't until her feet were steady that Shi Niang couldn't believe her eyes, and the other party covered her mouth and let out a suppressed cough sound, that she came back to her senses at this time.
My eyes were so shocked that they were about to fall to the top of my feet.
I'll go, isn't it, the person who saved her just now turned out to be the sick man...... The wind is cold!
