Chapter 93: Hurry up, let go of your handle
As soon as Fang entered the alley, the man let go of Murong Xi's hand, hugged his fist at her and said, "The situation is critical, please don't blame the girl." β
"Young Master Chu, long time no see." Murong Xi didn't care, and said with a little excitement: "I went to Jishitang to find you before-"
"I heard Dongfang Li say it." Chu Chengshu straightened his body, and the big knife on his waist was always full of coldness.
Murong Xi smiled, "I'm sorry, except for you and Dongfang Gongzi, I really can't find anyone to entrust that matter." β
"It's just a matter of hand." Chu Cheng's cold face was cold, with a touch of unnatural closeness.
"I have sent someone to investigate the matter, and the specific truth has not yet been concluded, but some signs have been found. When a specific conclusion is reached, a way will be found to inform Miss Murong within two days. β
Murong Xi blinked, in the dark alley, her eyes were like the moon tonight, bright and dazzling.
"Found it so quickly? Sure enough, it is still Chu Gongzi who is reliable. β
Chu Chengshu looked away, lowered his voice and said: "There is one more thing I want to tell the girl, someone went to the dark night gate to buy the girl's life, and the girl has rarely gone out recently." β
"Me?" Murong Xi raised her fingertips in disbelief, pointed to her nose, and confirmed again: "Buy my life? β
Chu Chengshou frowned and nodded.
Murong Xi smiled speechlessly, "I don't even have an enemy, who will buy my life?" β
As soon as these words came out, Murong Xi suddenly thought of Jiang Huaiyin's news that Shen Lie was about to return to the capital.
and Li Muyao came to the door yesterday to ask for something boring.
Murong Daidai frowned slightly, this little thing didn't make them buy murder, right?
Chu Chengshu shook his head, "The Dark Night Gate does business, and it has never asked about the identity of the employer. Who the other party is, Shu Chu can't tell. β
There are three rudders of the Dark Night Gate in the capital, and Chu Chengzhi only accounts for one.
After learning that the target was Murong Xi, Chu Chengshu refused on the grounds that the task at hand had not been completed.
He is just a small protector, and his power is not big enough to influence the people of the Dark Night Gate not to take business.
But he could secretly pass the news to Murong Xi, and he believed that as long as Murong Xi followed Jiang Huaiyin's left and right, the people of the Dark Night Gate would definitely not be able to start.
"Miss Murong, the regent does not comment on this person, but for the safety of the girl, it is best for the girl to follow the regent at all times. If the regent goes out, the girl should not leave the palace as much as possible. β
Faced with Chu Cheng's advice, Murong Xi was grateful, and she said: "This is a sect secret, and if Gongzi Chu is willing to tell me, I really can't repay it." β
"If it weren't for the girl's timely action, she would have become a waste person a long time ago." Chu Chengshu's tone was slow, and a white shadow suddenly appeared in the afterglow, like a giant python winding in the sky, sweeping towards the alley.
Chu Cheng's eyes froze, he quickly pulled out the long knife, turned sideways to cover Murong Xi behind him, picked up the big knife and slashed at the white shadow-
"Ding! Boom! β
The sparks from the clash of swords were engulfed in the darkness of the alley.
Chu Chengshu maintained the movement of raising the knife, and his body was forced back into the depths of the alley by the qi wave struck out by the other party.
On the other hand, the other party was dressed in white without wind and automatic, his body was as light as hair, and after spinning a few times in the air, he slowly landed.
His cold gaze fell on Murong Xi's panicked face, and his voice was gentle, but he felt a little cold.
"Come here."
Murong Xi was terrified.
She clearly saw Jiang Huaiyin's appearance just now holding the green sword in his hand and revealing his murderous intentions.
It's a different kind of intimidation than the old talk.
Murong Xi walked towards Jiang Huaiyin tremblingly, but Chu Chengshou behind him snorted coldly: "It is rumored that the regent has a violent and domineering personality, and when I saw it today, it really opened Chu's eyes." His Royal Highness the Prince Regent doesn't only have the ability to roar at weak women, right? β
Murong Xi's heart trembled violently, and she couldn't wait to cover Chu Cheng's mouth and beg him not to add fuel to the fire.
She subconsciously looked at Jiang Huaiyin's reaction, and sure enough, his feminine eyebrows and eyes were raised, his face was condensed, and the green sword in his hand was slowly raised and pointed at Chu Cheng.
In the narrow alley, it seems to be isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and only the atmosphere of saber rattling remains.
Murong Ji quickly moved Jiang Huaiyin in one step, rushed to him with arrows, and tightly dragged his hand holding the long sword.
"Lord Wang, I have something to find Prince Chu, and I ask Lord Wang to raise his noble hand-"
Jiang Huaiyin twitched the arm that was grasped by her, and the blade of the sword flashed in the moonlight, cutting off a piece of her skirt.
Jiang Huaiyin lowered her eyes, glanced at the piece of cloth that fell on the tips of her boots, and gradually moved her gaze upward, staring at Murong Xi's eyes, "The princess wants to take all the blame on herself?" For an outsider? β
"I'm just telling the truthβ" Murong Xi was overwhelmed by his deep eyes, but tonight's incident, it was indeed no wonder that Chu Cheng was killed.
Jiang Huaiyin's fingers loosened, and the long sword fell to the ground.
He sneered silently, his arm circled between Murong Xi's fingers, easily broke free of Murong Xi's hands, and suddenly climbed onto her jaw.
"The princess is so forgetful, don't you remember how she promised the king?"
Chu Cheng's inner body in the depths of the alley recovered thirty percent, and his eyes were scarlet as he watched Jiang Huaiyin pinching Murong Xi's chin fiercely, and the big knife in his hand flew out again uncontrollably, directly approaching Jiang Huaiyin's vital point.
Murong Xi heard the sound of breaking the wind and shouted at Chu Cheng, "Don't!" β
But it was too late.
The black broadsword seemed to incarnate a wolf king, spreading its fangs and galloping through the alley, stirring up a puff of dustβ
Murong Xi's pupils shrank sharply, and she raised her hand to block Jiang Huaiyin's body, Jiang Huaiyin's calm and waveless gaze made a slight ripple the moment she stretched out her hand.
"Ding~"
At the last moment, a huge cyan figure suddenly resisted in front of the two of them, holding an unknown thing in his hand, and knocked Chu Cheng's big knife away.
When the cyan figure was steady, Murong Xi's eyes couldn't help but widen.
He held a folding fan in his left hand, and when Murong Xi looked over, he spread the folding fan in his hand, rested it on his chest and shook it, "Brother Jiang really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how can he treat his sister-in-law like this?" Hurry up and let go of the handle. β
Murong Xi looked at her right hand again, carrying more than a dozen lanterns, and Murong Xi suddenly understood the origin of Fang Cai's huge green shadow.
This person is not the boy in Tsing Yi who caused a commotion by guessing the lantern riddle, and who is it?
Jiang Huaiyin slowly let go of Murong Xi, glanced at the young man in Tsing Yi, and looked past him and looked at Chu Chengshu in the depths of the alley.
"Just by you, you still want to kill this king?"
Chu Chengshu clenched his fists, and his body seemed to be surrounded by black qi, which blended with the dark alley, making it impossible to see his expression.
Murong Xi took a step forward and quickly kicked the big knife on the ground in the direction of Chu Cheng's killing, "Thank you to Gongzi Chu for saving me today, thank you for your kindness, and ask Gongzi Chu to take the first step!" β
Chu Chengshou took the big knife accurately and glanced at Murong Xi deeply, who was shaking his head at him with frowns.
Chu Chengshu snorted lightly, put away the big knife, tapped the ground with his toes, jumped onto the beam, and disappeared.
