138 Life and death in an instant

When I arrived at Cuihua Courtyard, I saw that a mountain stone was flat and hidden, and the Luohan pine pavilion next to it was like a cover, and I looked at no one around, so I sat on it. I thought about resting for a while, but as soon as my eyelids closed, I fell asleep uncontrollably.

In the fog, he seemed to hear a broken shout: "What person? ”

Immediately after that, his body shook, and when he opened his eyes, he suddenly found himself on the ground, and at the edge of his vision was a pair of high-colored boots, which should be palace guards.

She hadn't woken up yet, and her first instinct was that she had fallen asleep, and that she had fallen off the stone so hard that she had fallen from it, but the guard ......

I looked at it with some puzzlement...... It's very raw, but the leopard print on the shoulder armor tells her that this person is a second-class guard in the palace.

Before he could ask, a cold light that was extremely incommensurate with this summer day was approaching. At that moment, she suddenly remembered that early morning ten years ago, when she looked at Su Mufeng from afar by the lake in Qingxiao Garden, but saw a little cold light coming through the clouds and fog...... It's this coldness, it's this kind of killing, it's this kind of danger, it's this kind of ......

"Ding".

She already felt a chill on her neck, but at this moment, another light flew diagonally......

I couldn't see what kind of impact it was, but I heard a soft sound, and a crescent-shaped piece of metal as thin as paper and as small as a fingernail tumbled to the ground, refracting the dazzling sunlight.

Everything changes in an instant, and it's so fast that people can't be caught off guard.

Su Jinling stared at the dazzling metal, and then looked at the guards beside him...... In the light and shadow, the man's face was also a little incredulous, and angry. So the next moment, he leaped up, turned his palm into a blade, and slashed at the top of her head again......

"Stop!"

There was a sound of drinking from behind the tree, and with the interruption of drinking, the hem of an ink-colored robe embroidered with dragon patterns slowly moved out.

The guard flipped in an instant, and fell to the ground lightly.

"It's just a palace maid, why should Yuan Xiu be so nervous?"

"But ......"

The guard named Yuan Xiu wanted to speak, but he stopped him: "Even if you are in a hurry to ask for merit and reward, you can't be a soldier!" ”

As he spoke, his eyes seemed to glance to the side unintentionallyβ€”the direction in which another light that shot down the hidden weapon flew from, and his long eyes narrowed slightly.

Yuan Xiu didn't say much, his eyes locked on her, and the murderous intent in his eyes was hidden.

Su Jinling completely woke up from the chaos at this moment, and knelt down and bowed to the ground: "The slave maid asks for peace to King Xiang, King Xiang is auspicious." ”

This gesture was too solemn for Yu An, and she just rested her head on the back of her overlapping hands, squinting at the crescent-like blade, thinking of the danger that had just passed, and she was startled into a cold sweat.

Who bounced off the hidden weapon? Is it King Xiang? It's just that the place where he appears is not in that direction at all, and his gaze is ......

But there is no doubt about one thing, that is, this person named Yuan Xiu...... Why did he kill himself? Eh, my current state is completely in a posture of neck and death.

She hurriedly straightened up, but she saw the two people's eyes meeting each other, which seemed complicated, and she didn't seem to expect her to make such a sudden move, they all looked at her together, and Yuan Xiu actually clenched his fists again......

"If the prince is fine, the slave and maid will retire......"

That Yuan Xiu is simply a violent person, so it's better to leave early.

So he didn't wait for King Xiang to answer, and got up and left.

"You...... Don't you thank the king for saving his life? ”

Turning around, a pair of dark eyes were met.

I had seen King Xiang before, but he just lowered his eyes and asked for peace, and then he saw the ink-colored robe move quickly like a dark cloud.

What makes people dare not look at it is not that King Xiang is burly and lofty, but that he ...... Murderous aura, the murderous aura that leaked from between the folds of his clothes, even if he walked far away, there was still a faint bloody aura lingering on the tip of his nose, and the flying hem of his robe seemed to be misty with blood floating all the way......

Those dark eyes were looking at her...... Cold, hard, and deep with blood churning. However, the corners of his lips were raised......

Not daring to look at such an inexplicable Yuwen Xuanti, she hurriedly solemnly blessed: "Slave and maid thank King Xiang for saving his life......"

Then, still regardless of whether he agreed or not, he turned and walked away quickly.

Saving? She was skeptical, but ...... Whatever? Survival matters!

She chose the secret place of the tree to run, because she thought that if Yuan Xiu continued to send a secret weapon to her, she would also be a little hindered, right?

All the way, only the branches and leaves tugged at her clothes, and she didn't care about brushing them away, and she looked back after running out of Cuihua Courtyard......

The green trees were red, and the cicadas were weaving, covering up all the thrill just now, as if it was just a very brief dream that caused her to wake up.

The brain is further cleared.

If it is not bad to say that King Xiang has a life-saving grace for her, didn't he prevent Yuan Xiu from killing him again? Just don't understand what happened to make the guard hell want to kill her?

Could it be a misunderstanding? King Xiang criticized him for being "anxious to ask for merit and rewards......

Now these people want to go crazy if they want to be promoted, damn it!

And she...... Is it that there will be a blessing after another catastrophe that does not die?

The rest of the life after the catastrophe is rejoicing, but I secretly told myself that I must not take a nap outside at will in the future, the security in the palace is not bad but so good, in case it is really regarded as the target of meritorious service...... It wasn't the first time she'd been considered an Assassin.

A little depressed, but he still exhaled and quickly went to the Jingxuan Palace.

She didn't notice that a dark shadow was hiding in the thick foliage. I wanted to stop her, but because of the thrill just now...... Don't let her know a lot, isn't it good to be so happy? This stupid girl has been so simple since she was a child, maybe it is because of this simplicity that Yuwen Xuanti temporarily let her go, but his shot ...... Will it make King Xiang take her into his sights? Even if you let it go now, you will ...... in the future However, if he didn't make a move, Jin'er was afraid that he would be ......

Su Mufeng clenched his fists.

This battle for the heir is becoming increasingly fierce and clear, and a layer of pale blood mist is already faintly floating and spreading.

However, no matter what happens, I hope Jin'er can always be safe, and always have such simplicity and happiness.

Jin'er, I'll protect you, definitely!

"Lord Wang, why didn't you ...... just now" Yuan Xiu tightened his eyebrows.

Yuan Xiu's face had been injured before, but few people knew it, so he could only cover it up by making a dough according to his previous appearance, but because it was very inconsistent with this face, his wrinkled eyebrows looked a little weird, and the more nervous, the greater the gap between the high and the low.

Just...... Just a little bit. Who saved the little palace maid? How long had that person been hidden? And the key thing is...... How much did he really hear? Maybe kill that little palace maid, and that person will jump out, and then ......

"Why do you want to ......," Yuwen Xuanti smiled at the corner of his lips.

He was handsome on the outside, but his smile seemed a little awkward, or rather terrifying, because even if he laughed, there was a bloody slaughter.

"But what if ......"

Yuan Xiu's worries are not impossible, in this palace, the most difficult thing to prevent is people's mouths, often a surprise sentence, but it is enough to make people fall short, especially at such a critical moment.

"There is no case, even if there is, it is someone else's!"

The stronger the smile, the more murderous it becomes.

"But if she tells what she just heard......"

Yuan Xiu was worried that King Xiang didn't understand what he meant, he thought that he and King Xiang had always been in a good relationship, but at this moment, Yuan Xiu didn't dare to be careless.

"How much do you think she heard?"

Yuwen Xuanti picked up the cold moon rest on the ground...... If it does not enter the human body, it will turn into water, and there is no trace of it, and ordinary people cannot find its scars, even the most brilliant imperial doctors, but if they encounter a master with deep internal strength, such as ...... But it's not just a matter of dying a little palace maid, but also if you meet a well-informed person...... Leng Yuexiu was from Los Angeles, where his uncle, Chang Xiang, the general of Yipin Zhenxi, was stationed.

The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he raised his fingers slightly, only to hear the sound of "whoosh", and the crescent-like dagger cut through the quiet wind, and suddenly disappeared into the thick and strong trunk of the podocarpus, leaving only a trace that was almost untraceable.

"This ...... The subordinates don't know. ”

Yuwen Xuanti smiled, a pair of eyes flashed in front of him, a little foggy, because the drowsiness had not disappeared, but it was not difficult to see that it was a pair of clear eyes, a pair of eyes that couldn't hide his thoughts.

Normal eavesdropping, once discovered, although it is covered, but the most difficult thing to hide is the fear from the heart, especially in the face of Yuan Xiu's fierce murderous intentions, even if it flashes, it cannot escape his observation.

However, Fang Cai, those eyes looked at Yuan Xiu very confused and ignorant, looking at Leng Yuexiu on the ground, clearly with an expression that didn't know what was going on, and he didn't even have time to mention fear. What can she hear?

"Be careful of the people behind her......"

"If the subordinates just ...... her That man must have appeared! ”

"What do you think...... Can you beat him? The smile is still there, but it is difficult to hide the disdain.

Yuan Xiu clenched his fists.

Indeed, the man must have been in hiding for a long time, and he was unaware of it. And the speed at which he fired his weapon was unbeatable, and it was so close at hand, but the man easily knocked out his weapon, and he still didn't know what weapon the man was using.

"The subordinate is worried that the man will ......"

Yuwen Xuanti's eyes flashed slightly: "As long as she doesn't die, she won't ......"

Yuan Xiu couldn't figure out what connection the death of the little palace maid had with that person's informant, so he couldn't help but make Yuwen Xuanti despise him again. If you have the heart to tell the truth, who cares if the palace maid lives or dies? It's just a simple truth, but alas......

Sigh secretly, why are the brains of the people around me not so bright?

"Yuan Xiu, do you know how much of a mistake you made today?"

Yuan Xiu raised the corners of his eyes, lowered his head and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”

"Do you know who that little palace maid is?"

Yuan Xiu was silent.

Yuwen Xuanti knew that he was muttering in his heart...... Isn't she just a little palace maid?
