Chapter 8: The Assassins

Previous Chapter

Wei Chengan moved his numb legs, and his back couldn't support it. Just when she was a little sleepy, Murong Yuan's cold voice made it suddenly sober up, "Doesn't the princess have anything to ask this king?"

Wei Chengan cheered up: "The prince must have his own intentions for what he does"

I don't know if Murong Yuan laughed, even in the quiet of the night, Wei Chengan didn't hear it very clearly. Through a small window, you can see that it is already dark outside, except for the sound of the wind whistling from time to time, there is no fireworks brought by the activities of no one in the temple: "Lord, will there really be anyone?"

Murong Yuan got up and took two steps: "It will definitely come, they are reluctant" reluctant to have such a good opportunity.

"If the princess is tired, let's rest for a while" Murong Yuan was still standing in the darkness by the window, looking out, as if waiting for a friend from the darkness.

Seeing him guarding like this, where did Wei Chengan dare to rest, "Lord Wang, it's still early, they probably won't be so careless"

Murong Yuan sneered: "Who knows"

It didn't take long for Murong Yuan to leave from the window, open the only cabinet in the room, and take out a silk robe that was not much different from his body and change it into. Wei Chengan found that there was a big cut on the left shoulder of this dress, and there were a lot of blood stains, although he was a little surprised, but he was also slightly clear in his heart. Seeing that he had changed his clothes, he took out a quilt again, and hurriedly got up and gave way to his place.

Murong Yuan threw the quilt on the couch, and sure enough, as Wei Chengan thought, the quilt was also stained with blood and placed on the couch messily. After doing this, Murong Yuan sat down on the edge of the bed again, patted the position next to him, and Wei Chengan walked over and sat down again.

Murong Yuan still looked the same when he saw her, even though he knew that she had always been calm, he was slightly surprised, "Isn't the princess afraid?"

Wei Chengan shook his head: "Don't be afraid"

Murong Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Even if you and I die here today"

Wei Chengan looked up at him: "The prince has planned well this time, and he will definitely not worry about his life."

Murong Yuan turned his head and stopped looking at her: "The princess believes in this king so much?"

Of course she believes that King Chen has pretended to be sick for many years just to make a living, and there is no reason to risk his life: "The prince believes in himself, and the concubine must also believe it", "It's just," Wei Cheng settled down and didn't know whether to ask.

Murong Yuan: "It's just how"

Wei Cheng'an lowered his voice: "How did the prince know that the concubine must have incense?"

Murong Yuan smiled silently: "This king is just guessing"

Wei Chengan naturally didn't believe it, seeing that he didn't want to say more, and he also knew that he didn't want others to know about something, so he didn't ask more.

was speechless for a while, and Wei Chengan didn't know how long it had been, and he was already groggy and couldn't support it. Just when she was drowsy and couldn't get over, Murong Yuan grabbed her wrist and immediately woke her up in fright, and looked at him with wide eyes. A deliberately muffled voice came from his ears, "Don't make a sound"

Wei Chengan immediately gritted his teeth, and only then did his heart jump up. Both of them tensed up and listened carefully, and sure enough, after a while, there was an inaudible sound of footsteps outside the door, and Wei Chengan couldn't hear anything, but he also knew that someone was coming from the strength that deepened on his wrist. Murong Yuan frowned, paying careful attention to the sound in the outer room. The two of them looked at each other outside, slowly opened the door with a knife, and tiptoed in. As soon as they entered the house, they smelled a burst of fragrance, and they knew that it was too normal for a prince to burn incense and fall asleep, but the two did not hesitate for a moment and walked in the direction of the inner room.

As soon as they walked a few steps, they felt that something was wrong, and their limbs began to slowly numb, and the two of them looked at each other and looked at the incense burner, and were about to step up, when one of them saw the person behind him holding his chest with one hand and holding a knife in the other, half-kneeling on the ground. As soon as I wanted to help myself, my chest was also painful, as if someone was trying to pull out my heart, and my head was dizzy as if I couldn't stand.

Wei Chengan couldn't hear any footsteps, and he knew what was happening outside, so the strength on his wrist tightened more and more, and when he suddenly retracted, his heart seemed to fall from a high altitude. Feeling Murong Yuan let go of her and got up as if he was going out, he immediately grabbed his cuffs without thinking and shook his head at him.

As soon as Murong Yuan turned around, he saw her anxious and worried eyes, gently patted the back of her hand, and took her hand down again. Turn around and walk out. Wei Chengan had no choice but to follow immediately, and saw Murong Yuan gently open the curtain a little and put it down again. Nodding at her, he covered his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why is there no movement at all?"

"yes, what's the matter, do you want to inform Guard Li?"

"It's okay, wait, we can still let them escape if we keep guarding here"

"No, it's quiet, I'll go down and have a look," said a masked man in black who jumped down from a leafy tree.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed, he heard a bang in the house, followed by a crackling sound and a frightened cry of the woman: "Lord Wang!"

Glancing at the people in the tree, the man in black leaned against the tree and held a knife and waited for the two people who went in to come out.

After a while, two staggering figures appeared by the door, and the man covered his left shoulder as if he was injured, but he could still see bright red blood. The woman beside him was supporting him, and shouted in panic: "Come on, come on, come on, there are assassins, come on."

Unfortunately, the sound of terror drowned out in the night, and did not provoke any reverberation.

It's useless!

The masked man scolded secretly, and no longer cared about the two people who went in. Carrying a knife, he walked slowly in front of the two of them.

"Where are you going?"

The cold voice was even more creepy in this night.

Wei Chengan's eyes widened, and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Who are you?"

Murong Yuan's feet were weak, as if he couldn't stand

"Lord Wang!" Wei Chengan helped him up, and his hand slowly stretched out into his sleeve.

Suddenly, a knife flashed in the moonlight and sparkled in front of Murong Yuan: "You'd better not try to play any tricks on me, I'm not like those two fools"

Wei Chengan's face turned white: "Who are you, why do you have to put us to death?"

The masked man sneered: "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, who knows who you have offended"

"Let's go" Murong Yuan pushed Wei Chengan away, leaned over and hit the knife.

The man in black didn't expect that the angry man to have such great strength, and watched the blood stay along the knife that had not entered his right chest, and the ground was also stained red.

As soon as he withdrew his hand, blood gushed out, and Murong Yuan stumbled back a few steps.

"Lord Wang!" Wei Chengan's exclamation resounded in the temple, more heart-rending than any of the previous sentences.

Li Yuan, who was outside the hospital, heard this exclamation, and his dark eyes couldn't see the waves under the cover of the night, and the gloom seemed to merge with the darkness.

Could it be that this King Chen really didn't have any preparations?

He raised his hand, and the two people behind him nodded knowingly. Prepare to shoot as soon as the people in the courtyard show up.

"Yo, you're really interested."

A chuckle came into the ears of the three of them, and the three of them immediately turned their heads on guard, and saw a slender man standing in the cold wind looking at them with a smile, and the black clothes on his body could not hide the serious rebelliousness of the man.

A person behind Li Yuan said disdainfully: "Who are you going to take care of our business?"

The man sneered: "Passerby" stroked the broken hair in front of him again: "Why don't you tell me anything good, and have fun with me"

The man in black snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense here, if you want to live, hurry up and go farther"

"Oh," the man laughed twice as if he had discovered something unusual, "It's really funny."

Before the words fell, the man in black fell to the ground, so fast that people didn't have time to think, but the person opposite was still standing with a smile. The remaining two saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Li Yuan squatted down and looked at the person who fell to the ground, there was no wound, except for a faint silver needle on his neck.

Li Yuan couldn't hold back the anger that rose: "Why did Your Excellency want to hurt people?"

"Oh?" the person on the other side looked at him questioningly: "Is this brother asking me? I'm standing here well, why do you blame me for your brother's fall?"

Saying that, he folded his arms and looked at the two: "Could it be that the two of you saw it?"

"You, obviously you hurt people, and you're still arguing here" The little guard seemed to be angry, and his voice raised a few points.

Li Yuan raised his hand to stop him, and then looked at the person opposite: "Your Excellency has no grievances with us, what is the so-called matter today?"

"Hmph" The man finally stopped laughing: "Look at your brother is too noisy, let him be quiet, he can't die"

Another sentence, only Li Yuan was still standing.

Li Yuan didn't know what this person was up to, but he also felt that this person was not an easy person to deal with, and he didn't want to be involved with him more about the affairs in the courtyard: "Your Excellency did it on purpose today."

"Exactly!"

Li Yuan was startled, and saw the man fly up, pointing directly at his throat, and hurriedly raised his sword to meet him.

It is said that the masked man in the courtyard was about to raise his hand to finish off the person in front of him, when a black shadow suddenly flashed, and with a pain in his wrist, the knife was snatched away.

The man in the tree had already quietly clenched the knife at his waist and stared at the situation below.

"This brother, why did he kill in front of the Buddha"

"Lord Wang!" Wei Chengan rushed to Murong Yuan with vague steps and helped him sit on the ground.

The masked man looked over and saw that it was a slightly sleepy man, worth a little money except for the sword on his back, and even his clothes were half-worn linen. It looked like an unpleasant knight, and snorted coldly: "I didn't expect to miss one, since you are nosy, let's go with these two people today."

As he spoke, he glanced at the tree, and a knife was immediately thrown from the tree, and the man in black caught it, like the man cutting it.

The people on the tree walked away like Murong Yuan.

Seeing this, Wei Chengan immediately hugged Murong Yuan and blocked in front of him.

At the same time, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of her eye, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, the expected pain did not appear on her back, she turned her head to see the man in black clutching his chest and falling to the ground, as if he had been kicked. Wei Chengan didn't have the heart to care about those people, and when he saw that the blood couldn't stop flowing from between Murong Yuan's fingers, even his voice was trembling: "Lord, Lord, how are you?"

Murong Yuan leaned on her without saying a word, and his eyes were weakly open.

Wei Chengan tried his best to stabilize his shaking hands, gritted his teeth and tore off a corner of his clothes, and took out his only golden medicine. Sprinkle it on the wound and press it tightly with the cloth. Seeing that Murong Yuan closed his eyes, his body shook and tears fell on Murong Yuan: "Prince, Prince"

Yan Feng, who was entangled with the man in black, heard Wei Chengan's crying voice, glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes darkened, and he stabbed it with a sword with anger. He kicked the man to the ground.

"Prince, Prince" Yan Feng knelt down, his leg, his wound, found that it was true, except for self-blame is remorse: "Prince, wake up, are you okay, Prince"

Murong Yuan opened his eyes and glanced at them: "I'm fine"

The sound is low and inaudible.

"The skills are not bad," the man in black outside the courtyard said casually after kicking the person who fell to the ground.

When I entered the courtyard, I found only two masked people who fell to the ground: "Yan Feng is very fast" As soon as he turned around and entered a meditation room, he smelled a faint fragrance before he entered the door. Pouted and went into another room.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that something was wrong, and the face immediately changed: "What's wrong?"
