Chapter XXIV: Assassination

The curvature of his lips shows that he is in a good mood, and he is elegant.

He has a personable appearance, luxurious and compelling, which attracts the attention of many women around him.

Leaning lazily against the wall, Yan Xiaxuan's dark eyes looked at the slender woman not far away.

He just wanted to walk over, but saw that Xia Yingban had already returned, holding two big red boxes in his hands, Yan Xiaxuan recognized them, they were the crab shell yellow baked cakes sold earlier.

Yan Xiaxuan paused, was silent for a long time, and then took out a box of cigars from his arms, took one, wiped the match, and lit the fire.

His sharp eyes, which were as sharp as a blade, were staring brightly in the direction of the woman.

This Xia Yingban was very attentive, and took the initiative to buy this snack for Luo Zhen.

The woman stood there, smiling at Xia Yingsaka, her skin was like congealed cream, the green silk was fluttering like ink, and the purple cloak added a bit of nobility to her.

Yan Xiaxuan thought that even if she was dressed in plain clothes and cloth skirts, she would be elegant and pleasant, and she was by no means comparable to the women in those fat powder piles.

Between the shadows of the plum blossom tree, she was talking to Xia Yingban with a smile, and Yan Xiaxuan's gaze gradually became cold.

If he hadn't come to this Summer Palace, Luo Zhen really wouldn't have imagined that there would be so many people traveling on such a cold winter day.

The park is noisy and lively, and nothing can stop people's enthusiasm.

Not far away, Kunming Lake seems to be covered with thick ice, Wanshou Mountain is covered in snow, although it is not as vivid and vivid as the spring season to visit in winter, but there is a unique charm that cannot be described.

After reading the ancient books for a while, Luo Zhen looked at the mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but think of the sentence in his mind: "The spring mountain is light and like a smile, the summer mountain is green and dripping, the autumn mountain is clear and clean like makeup, and the winter mountain is bleak and sleepy." Thinking about it, she actually said that.

Xia Yingban saw that she had been looking at the mountain in the distance, and then heard the poems muttered in her mouth, and couldn't help but lift her eyelids up, looking at the mountain, with a smile on her face.

"The Summer Palace in winter is a unique sight." Xia Yingban stood beside her and said, "When it comes to spring, I will accompany the young lady to this Summer Palace to take a look, and you will be surprised to see it." ”

Luo Zhen looked sideways at him, smiled and nodded.

Xia Yingban looked at her gaze, and for some reason he didn't dare to look at her, so he couldn't help but hang his head.

Walking into a vermilion lacquer whitewashed pavilion, he heard the sound of the piano, Luo Zhen perked up and walked forward.

Not far away, I saw a woman wearing an apricot, Indian satin, platinum and fine flower cheongsam sitting in the middle of the hall, playing the lyre, her posture was extremely graceful, and her slender ten fingers jumped on the strings.

"This song is called "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", and she plays it well." Xia Yingban said on the side.

Luo Zhen looked at the woman intently.

After a long time, the sound of the piano finally stopped, and the aftermath lingered and the charm was endless.

The woman finally looked up from the strings and smiled at Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen was stunned, just now the woman kept her head down, so she only saw the outline in general, and could only see the lowered eyebrows, and now she raised her head Luo Zhen found that this woman was actually old, she thought that this was a young woman.

The girl was born with grace and grace, and after she finished playing the piano, she slowly stood up, and then saluted them.

There were not many people in the room, and the others didn't seem to be very interested in this woman playing the piano, maybe they had already seen it, so there were only a few Luo Zhen here.

Luo Zhen couldn't help but applaud: "The girl's piano is really good." ”

The woman in yellow smiled and nodded at her, "Thank you." ”

"It's really good to play." Suddenly, a female voice came, Luo Zhen was stunned, looked back, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, it turned out that he saw an acquaintance walking over with Nana.

The person who came was a woman, bright and moving, the corners of her eyes were slanted, her cheeks were high, but she had a delicate atmosphere.

Luo Zhen was a little happy to see the old man, and she was a little concerned about the rudeness in her words just now, and for the woman in the apricot yellow shirt, she felt that it was rude to say that she didn't play the piano well in front of people, and she thought that the piano played very well.

But Luo Zhen didn't want to hurt the harmony on his face, and when they met again, everyone was an acquaintance.

smiled at her: "Miss Luo, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Luo Yushan snorted lightly, followed by another petite woman, and then stepped forward, not salty or indifferent: "Yes, what a coincidence." ”

Xia Yingban heard the rudeness in this woman's words, and couldn't help frowning.

Luo Zhen was stunned.

Luo Yushan then spoke: "Miss Luo, don't come unharmed. A pair of eyes swept towards the several men beside Luo Zhen, and said, "Miss Luo, these are your friends?" ”

Luo Zhen said: "It's my father's person." ”

Looking at the man standing beside Luo Zhen, Luo Yushan saw that Xia Yingsaka was arrogant, not like an ordinary man.

She disdains it in her heart, this Luo Zhen looks weak and pure, as if she has never been in contact with a foreign man, but she didn't expect that she is actually a woman who likes men around her.

I think she's pretty good at pretending.

After taking a closer look at the clothes around her, I saw that she was only wearing a white robe and a purple cape, and she was wearing a light blue Ge Yunjin cheongsam, with red rhinestone buttons, and a fashionable thick velvet white hat.

In contrast, she is obviously much more fashionable than her.

She was at peace and looked at Luo Zhen again.

Just thinking about it, the woman in apricot yellow clothes suddenly chuckled and said, "Miss said that my piano playing is average, can you ask Miss to give me some advice?" ”

Luo Zhen looked at the woman, only to see that there was no displeasure on her face, but she smiled slightly, and couldn't help but feel very good in her heart.

Such a person is really extraordinary.

Luo Yushan originally heard Luo Zhen's words praising the woman in yellow, so she deliberately stepped forward to find fault.

She doesn't like Luo Zhen very well, just because of one point - Luo Zhen is more beautiful than her.

Now that the woman asked her this question, Luo Yushan snorted lightly and said, "The music is too flat to move people's hearts, not to mention, no one here stops for your piano sound except them, doesn't this explain the problem?" ”

"I only play the sound for myself, born from the heart, if I play it for others, I will lose the meaning of the sound."

"If you play it only for yourself, why are you playing here, in my opinion, it's just to attract the attention of passers-by."

Luo Zhen listened and listened, and was indescribably depressed, and a person with a gentle temperament like her couldn't stand this woman's such aggressive and arrogant posture.

"It's cold in winter, the plum trees are in full bloom, I just love the environment." The woman in yellow sighed lightly, "But you're right, even if I don't have such an idea, others will always be suspicious of seeing it." ”

She bowed lightly to Rozhen, then turned to leave.

"Hmph, I'm afraid it's a sore spot, right?"

Luo Zhen didn't want to stay with the woman in front of him for a second, so he turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

*

Yan Xiaxuan stood in a quiet and unmanned pavilion, faintly, the sound of footsteps was faint, and the voice was extremely soft.

As if he hadn't heard, he stood still.

The sound of breathing behind him became louder, and a fierce wind struck, rushing towards Yan Xiaxuan.

The man didn't have time to think about it, and a dodge flashed to the side.

Yan Xiaxuan instinctively attacked each other, the two of them in such a narrow pavilion would inevitably attract the attention of outsiders, but this place was remote, and no one came, so no one noticed that there were two men fighting here.

The man pressed his waist with one hand, then took out a dagger, and accurately attacked Yan Xiaxuan's neck, and attacked Yan Xiaxuan's chest with one hand.

Yan Xiaxuan chuckled, dodged his attack, and saw that the man looked like he was gritting his teeth and wishing that he would die immediately, and his eyes were red, and he couldn't help laughing: "Do you hate me so much?" ”

The man was silent, and attacked Yan Xiaxuan one after another with his own hands.

Yan Xiaxuan smiled: "You can't kill me, Ge Qiao." ”

He dodged his dagger, "It's you, I've been waiting for you for a long time, I knew you would fall into the net." ”

The man named Ge Qiao finally spoke, his voice was hoarse, with a strong killing intent: "Yan Xiaxuan, I have been observing you for a long time, you went out today without bringing anyone with you, and came to the Summer Palace alone. ”

"I'll be enough for you." Yan Xiaxuan smiled.

"How dare you hold it up like this, good! Today, I will kill you, the devil, for my Ge family! ”

Yan Xiaxuan's strength is controlled just right, not in a hurry or slow, his breathing remains the same, and his pulse is unchanged.

Ge Qiao didn't expect this Yan Xiaxuan to be so good, he held a dagger in his hand, and he struck first, but he still couldn't touch Yan Xiaxuan at all, and his forehead was already sweating.

He tried his best, but Yan Xiaxuan was at ease.

Ge Qiao grew tired, and his movements slowed down.

Yan Xiaxuan's body turned sharply, his hands were as fast as lightning, twisted the dagger in his hand, and then crossed Ge Qiao's neck.

Ge Qiao didn't dare to move suddenly, he looked at Yan Xiaxuan, but he didn't lose the battle, and sneered: "Yan Xiaxuan, count you ruthless, you kill me." ”

Yan Xiaxuan smiled and leaned close to Ge Qiao's ear, "Ge Sanshao, I will do it myself, it won't be an insult to you, let's go on the road with peace of mind." ”

The knife fell, and the man fell to the ground.

He lowered his eyes to the man on the ground and snorted softly.

He threw the dagger on the ground in disgust, looked at himself, found no blood, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then he only whispered, "Deal with it." He seems to have the momentum of a person who has been in the top position for a long time, and he is not much more reckless than his father Yan Yongning.

Then he was in a fluttering robe, still looking like a noble son, and walked out of the pavilion without looking back.

When I didn't want to come out, I didn't walk long when I bumped into a woman who was walking around the corner.

Yan Xiaxuan looked at it and couldn't help but smile.

It turned out to be her.

Luo Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect to see this person here.

Yan Xiaxuan didn't say much, looked at Xia Yingsaka who was walking behind her, nodded to her, and then turned to leave.

Luo Zhenyi frowned, and when he passed by her, she seemed to smell a smell, and this smell seemed to be blood......

She shook her head secretly, how could this be?
