Seeing her pleading, my heart was also very sad, and after a long silence, I still hardened my heart and said: "Miss Ruyue, it's not that I don't want to help, but I really can't help you, and I can't do anything." ”

Ruyue's delicate little face was full of tears, looking at me, and I didn't dare to look at her eyes at all, so I could only helplessly turn my head to avoid her eyes. Finally, she knew that it was useless to beg for more, so she could only get up and cover her face and cry and leave.

When she had been gone for a while, and the night outside had slowly deepened, I sighed, got up and walked out.

The footsteps are a little heavy.

Although I refused Ruyue's request with a hard heart, I never managed to be indifferent, after all, it was a human life, but now Pei Yuanhao's disgust with me - I also know that this matter is unlikely, and if I agree, I can't do it, it will only make Ruyue more desperate, it is better to refuse her first, and then try my luck, if I can't ask for it, it won't make her more disappointed; If I can really ask for a little, it will be her creation, my merit.

Thinking like this, I was soon out into the inner courtyard.

At this time, the night was already very deep, the sky was as dark as ink, and the vicinity of the inner courtyard was quiet, only a few lanterns hung under the eaves, swaying by the wind, and the lonely lights swayed, stretching and shortening the shadows on the ground, and making the place even more silent.

However, this silence is somewhat different.

In the usual inner courtyard, there were not many guards at the door, because the shadow guards brought by Pei Yuanhao were enough, but there would still be people at the basic guards, but today, I had already walked to the door, but I didn't even see a single guard.

What's going on?

Thinking of the strange atmosphere in the state capital recently, I couldn't help but get a little nervous, and when I looked around, I really didn't see any guards, not even the people patrolling the perimeter of the state capital!

Could it be, what's wrong?!

My footsteps faltered, and I subconsciously wanted to go in to see what was going on, but when I was about to go inside, my heart suddenly flashed, and instead of rushing in, I walked along the outer wall of the inner courtyard, and just walked in front of a bush behind a rockery, and I saw an amazing scene.

In the bushes, there were several people lying on their sides, their clothes stripped off.

On the side, there are a few people wearing clothes by the shadow cast by the rockery, which are the clothes of the patrol guards!

Assassin!

These two words immediately came to my mind, and I immediately gasped and hurriedly turned around to run.

But just as I turned around, I suddenly bumped into someone!

He immediately covered my mouth with one hand, and pushed me down the wall at once, I let out a whimpering sound, struggling desperately, I saw a flash of cold light, and a big knife was clamped on my neck at once, I looked at the person in front of me with wide eyes in horror, his cold gaze scanned, and said coldly: "It's you again!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several people next to him had already rushed over: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's this woman again, and she was the one who spoiled us last time."

Last time? Bad for them?

As soon as I heard this, it immediately dawned on me - they were the same Assassins on the night of the fireworks festival, and now they were going to make a comeback, disguise themselves as guards in the state capital, and assassinate again!

"What should I do?"

"Do you want to kill her?"
