16. Silent killing! Two-day countdown

The winter morning was cold and foggy, and the two elites of the princes' army had already changed into their guard robes, they dusted off the wrinkles on their bodies, and then pulled out their sharp sabers with a "sonorous" sound to check them slightly.

The blade is in the mist, the cold light shoots coldly, and there is a faint cracking sound in the air, they are two fast knives!

"Today, kill Sima Bai!"

"Death at the hands of the Faceling, the prince's hands will be clean."

At the well, Xia Yan watched this scene quietly.

If these two people wanted to do it on the hunting ground on the day of the winter hunt, then he wouldn't care about it at all, but now, they wanted to do it today in advance and solve the disaster of the third prince before the winter hunt. Then he'll have to take care of it!

There are three ways to solve the problem, first, to solve the problem itself, second, to solve the person who gave the problem, and third... Extinguish the problem before it happens.

The Prince's Mansion wants to keep the problem from happening.

It's a pity that Xia Yan thinks so too.

The Prince's Mansion didn't want him to appear on the hunting grounds of Winter Hunting, so they wanted to attract Facelings.

And he didn't want that faceling to enter the palace, so he had to intercept the person who answered.

At this moment, he took a few steps forward, and stood in front of the stone arch of the house, and the cold droplets of water dripped down from all around him, and soon formed a puddle that covered the exit of the door, and in the mist, the puddle was hazy, as if it were missing.

"We... It's time to go. ”

One of the elites said.

Immediately, the two of them walked normally across the stone path and stepped out of the stone arch.

Wow!

The slight sound of water, splashing water drops.

The two princes' elites didn't care, it was just a puddle of water, maybe a reckless palace maid overturned while fetching water, and it just formed a puddle in the recess of the stone slab?

And where the two of them couldn't see, a ghostly figure raised its hands and silently passed through the air, grabbing them by the necks almost instantly.

In an instant, the smell of decay, cold water vapor, and the touch of a completely unhuman being came straight to the face.

The two elites of the Prince Army were both first-class masters, and when they were attacked by this raid, they felt their whole bodies tighten, and goosebumps appeared all over their bodies. Immediately, the true qi swimming in the meridians in the body instantly exploded, revealing the skin, revealing a piercing half-inch of qi.

They don't know who the enemy is, but that's okay. Even if they can't deal with this enemy, they can immediately warn them. So... Whether they are dead or alive, at least "the plan to introduce the Facelings and kill Sima Bai" can ensure implementation.

But they won't have that chance.

Sou! Sou!

Xia Yan's expression was cold, and he grabbed the two elites of the Prince Army and quickly sneaked into the Yin Pool.

The three "men" shrank straight into the pool, and then reappeared at the bottom of the nearby palace moat.

Click!

As soon as Xia Yan entered the water, he suddenly felt that his strength had increased a lot, and it was completely different from when he was on the shore, he grabbed these two strong men of the first-class realm, just like carrying two weak chickens, and with a slight force on his hands, he casually pinched the necks of these two elites of the princeling army.

He then carefully pressed the two bodies under the boulder to prevent them from coming to the surface.

After that, he left.

...

...

As soon as he returned to the Moon Shadow Palace, Xia Yan returned to his original state.

The pajamas are safe, not stained with water, except for the body is a little cold, everything is the same as after getting out of bed, which is completely different from the ghost state before.

No one thought that a prince of the deep palace had killed two people in the form of a demon before dawn came.

Xia Yan was a little tired and got into the futon.

But his heart was beating a little fast.

"There are ghosts in this world, and they walk in places that are completely invisible to people. Today I became a ghost to kill people, but in the future... If a demon stands behind me like this and kills me, what will I do? ”

His mind raced.

Suddenly, the words "Facelings" came to mind.

"I see, Facelings just listen to their names, and I'm afraid they can be like anyone. As for how it changed, I don't know, maybe it's a rather cruel method.

So, it wasn't the maid named Fluttershy who came to assassinate me, but the Faceling who took Fluttershy's appearance. Fluttershy, really, must have been killed. ”

Xia Yan remembered a movie he watched before the crossing, in which there was a male demon who practiced "Wuxiang Divine Skill", and then he could change from a burly man to a bewitching Oiran to seduce the protagonist, this process is really terrifying.

"It's so easy for such an existence to infiltrate... No wonder, they were able to break through the defenses of the Queen's Palace area and come to my side to assassinate me. ”

The newly obtained information, combined with conventional logical inference, allowed Xia Yan to see some of the crises he was facing now.

"Since the winter hunt is the day after tomorrow, then I should find an opportunity to go to the Qilin Pavilion to borrow books..."

That was his plan.

Thinking about it, a feeling of exhaustion rushed over him, Xia Yan closed his eyes and entered a light sleep dream.

Outside the door, red lanterns swayed in the wind, illuminating the narrow shadows on the wooden pillars...

God, it's almost clear.

...

...

The fog lifted.

Sunlight pierced through the wooden windows, dispelling the gloom in the Lunaris Palace.

The slanted pillar of light from the skylight shone on the bed in the center.

Bai Suli held the knife and stood in front of the bed, her slightly narrow fox eyes full of disdain.

"Your Royal Highness, you get up so late every day, it's really a waste of time, and you live up to the time!"

Xia Yan heard her fierce voice and responded: "Oh....."

Then he smiled lightly: "Xiaobai, do you want to go to bed?"

The bed was still warm, but empty.

It's just a delicate little lady like you, why don't you come soon? ”

After saying this, he could almost see the phantom of "favorability-1-1-1-1-1" almost floating above Bai Suli's head.

"Shameless!"

Bai Suli's pretty face was covered with frost, and her eyes almost narrowed into two narrow knives, wanting to divide this scumbag full of flowers.

However, she didn't leave immediately today, but said coldly: "Niangniang announced that you have entered Tianning Palace!"

After a stick of incense, the carriage will be waiting in the courtyard!

Niangniang is working hard in political affairs, don't be late, and anger Niangniang.

Otherwise... isn't as good as me! Spleen! Gas! ”

Bai Suli gritted her teeth and said these words, turned around and didn't look at this lazy shameless man again, and left the palace with steps.

Behind her, the young man's eyes regained depth, and there was even a hint of coldness, giving people a feeling of iron.

Cultivation changes one's temperament.

Xia Yan's temperament has changed, but it's not actually ruthless, because... When he laughs a little, the depth will become clear, and the coldness will become sympathy, as if winter has passed and spring has arrived.

He stretched out slightly and slipped out of the futon.

The queen summoned me at this time...... What could it be?

Communication before the winter hunt?

It's good that if I know the plan in advance, I will be able to evacuate better.
