The night was quiet, except for the breeze gently brushing the treetops, leaving a small sound.

In the room, Ling Xue was sleeping soundly.

Nie Junheng lives in the West Garden, Ling Xue lives in the North Garden, and the two courtyards are quite far apart, so the movement on the West Garden side did not disturb the peace of the North Garden.

However, the trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop.

A dark shadow slipped silently through the night and slowly opened the door.

In the room, white smoke spread out, revealing a peculiar fragrance.

However, this strange smell quickly dissipated.

The cold wind was raging outside, and the windows inside the house were wide open, so the smell of smoke did not last long.

The man casually glanced at the bed twice, and saw that the woman on the bed was sleeping soundly, and there was no sign of waking up.

He wanted to turn around and close the window, but on second thought, he dismissed the idea.

It was just the assassination of an unarmed little girl, he thought, he didn't need to use this incense.

Thinking of this, he turned around and approached the bed step by step, the blade in his hand falling off the scabbard little by little.

This was the first time in his life that he had assassinated a little girl.

Although he didn't understand why his master sent him to deal with this woman, he was a strong martial artist, and he was the best of all the dead soldiers, and he couldn't remember how many political enemies his master had eliminated.

He only knew that for so many years, as long as he made a move, the assassination had never been defeated!

He thought that the master would let him deal with Nie Junheng!

But he never expected that the master would let him personally assassinate this woman, and also asked him to cut off this woman's head and take it back to his life in person!

He didn't dare to speculate on the master's thoughts, why this woman deserved to die, he wouldn't ask in detail.

He only knew that his life was saved by his master, and he would do whatever the master asked him to do!

His steps were light and he landed silently, and finally, he stood in front of the bed and slowly opened the curtain with a sharp dagger......

As the curtain of the bed was opened, the moonlight flowed like water, and the man raised the dagger in his hand and was about to stab it, but when he saw the woman's face clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Under the moonlight, the woman's face is as delicate as a jade carving, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, the bridge of her nose is straight, and her lips are like cherry blossoms, like a fairy coming out of a painting.

At this moment, she was not disturbed by the movement of the outside world, she was breathing evenly, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of her mouth, as if she was falling into a sweet dream......

The man was in a trance for a while, and inexplicable feelings swelled in his heart.

Since he was a child, he was born in the mud, walking in the darkest corners of the world, and he has never seen such a heart-warming girl.

But he never forgot the mission of his trip!

He was ordered to take her life!

Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm his inner turmoil and raised the dagger in his hand again.

However, just as he hesitated, the woman on the bed suddenly moved, and a small moan came out of her mouth.

The man was shocked, he understood that he could not hesitate in the slightest, and he needed to start as soon as possible!

Just as he was making up his mind, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes.

"You...... Who are you? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and the dagger in his hand stopped in mid-air.

Ling Xue frowned slightly, her head was even more dizzy, she tried to open her eyes to see the person in front of her clearly, but she could only see a vague outline.

There seemed to be a strange fragrance wafting in the room, and although Ling Xue was delirious, she also understood that it must be this fragrance that made her weak......

The man also understood that at the moment, this woman must have been hit by the incense, and she was weak, and there was no room to fight back.

Killing her at this moment is undoubtedly the best opportunity!

Ling Xue also realized the danger, and she staggered up from the bed, trying to escape from the room. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, he was dragged back to the bed by the man in front of him.

Then, a large hand covered her lips to prevent her from making a sound.

Ling Xue opened her eyes in shock and looked at the man in front of her, as if she didn't understand why this person wanted to kill her......

The man couldn't bear to look her in the eye.

As a dead man, he has always understood that it is taboo to have compassion for the enemy!

Even if the person in front of him was just an unarmed woman, he shouldn't hesitate for a moment!

Fang Cai's heartbeat was enough to kill him!

"I'm sorry, girl!"

He only said a word, and then he no longer hesitated, raised the dagger in his hand, and stabbed her in the chest.

However, he still didn't understand that the moment he hesitated, he had already fallen into the abyss, and he would never recover!

Before the dagger in his hand fell, a domineering palm wind hit behind him.

The man reacted quickly and quickly dodged sideways.

When he saw the face of the person who came, the man knew that he had already missed the perfect opportunity to assassinate!

Outside, a large number of guards surrounded the room with bows and arrows.

Without the slightest hesitation, the man jumped out of the window.

Nie Junheng walked quickly to Ling Xue and said, "Are you injured?" ”

Ling Xue shook her head and said, "It's okay...... It's just that I fell into the incense. ”

Hearing this, Nie Junheng's eyes were scarlet, and killing intent was everywhere in his eyes. He helped Ling Xue to lie down, and said in a deep voice: "Sister, sleep well first, and I'll go and solve the problem first." ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned into an afterimage and quickly chased him out.

After Nie Junheng left, Yuzhu stumbled in.

She flew in front of Ling Xue and asked with a worried expression, "County Lord, are you okay?" ”

"I heard that there were assassins in the house, and the slaves and maids were about to die of fright."

Ling Xue didn't bother to explain to her, she just pointed in one direction and said to Yuzhu, "Go to the drawer and get my antidote pill." ”

Yuzhu didn't dare to hesitate, she quickly opened the drawer, took out the white jade bottle inside, uncorked the bottle, poured out a few pills from it, and handed it to Ling Xue to take.

After Ling Xue took the pill, she wanted to get out of bed before her body could recover.

Yuzhu stopped her in time and said, "County Lord, your body hasn't recovered yet, so let's lie on the bed first." ”

Ling Xue said: "That assassin is very scheming, I am afraid that Jun Heng will fall for his tricks. ”

Yuzhu said: "The general/military martial arts are world-famous, but just an assassin can't hurt him." ”

Ling Xue said: "What about my brother? ”

Yuzhu said: "Don't worry, the county lord has such a big incident in the mansion, the prince has personally sent people to surround the mansion up and down, and he will not let go of any assassin!" ”

Hearing this, Ling Xue had no choice but to wait for the news in the room obediently.

After a long time, Yuzhu hurriedly came to report.

"County Lord, the general/army is back."

Ling Xue raised her eyes and saw Nie Junheng coming in from outside the door.

It's just that at this moment, his expression is cold and covered in blood, as if he has just ended a fierce fight, and it is terrifying to watch.

"Jun Heng!"

Ling Xue's heart tightened, and before Nie Junheng could step forward, she stood up, desperately threw herself into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

Nie Junheng's pupils shrank, and the whole person froze in place.

He lowered his head and watched the woman in his arms hugging him tightly, a warm current flowing in his heart.

Then, he hooked his lips, and finally couldn't help but reach out and gently take her into his arms.

When she felt her body trembling faintly, Nie Junheng couldn't help but call her: "Sister." ”

Ling Xue raised her eyes to look at him, and her tone couldn't hide her worry: "Why did you shed so much blood?" Where did you get hurt? Let me see. ”

Nie Junheng smiled faintly and said, "Sister, don't worry, these are not my blood." ”

When Ling Xue heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the tears that were about to overflow in her eyes were also held back by her.

"Did the assassin catch it?"

Nie Junheng said: "Let him run." ”
