"Childe, although the Seventh Imperial Daughter is not as favored as the Sixth Imperial Daughter, but she is also crowned the king, her mansion must be heavily guarded, just the two of us, can it be done? Besides, Childe, the Zhilanrui on your body has just been resolved, I am worried about ......" Zhiyu followed Qingchen's side and said worriedly.

"It's okay, let's be careful, nothing will happen. Qingchen lowered his voice and said, "Since we have decided to start with the Seventh Imperial Maiden, how can we not understand our opponents? ”

After speaking, Qingchen pulled up the black masked towel from his neck, covered half of his face, and then went out.

Although Zhiyu was worried in her heart, what Qingchen said was not unreasonable, knowing that the other side could win all battles, so she didn't say anything, so she also put on a masked scarf, followed Qingchen, and walked out.

Two black figures rushed out of the Six Princes' Mansion one after the other, heading towards the Seven Princes' Mansion not far from the other road.

The starry night was silent, although it was the south, but the winter weather was still very cold, but Qingchen and Zhanyu turned a blind eye to the slightly chilling cold wind and went straight to their destination.

The mansion of the Seventh Emperor Nie Xinlin, although it is not as big as Nie Xinyao, is also the concubine of the main palace, and the entire mansion is exquisite and gorgeous, and it is no worse than Nie Xinyao's mansion.

"Unexpectedly, these seven princesses are more wary than the six princesses, the guards in the palace patrol interval is shorter, and the guard posts are more intensive. Hold Yu and Qingchen lay on the wall of the Seven Kings' Mansion, looked at the situation in the courtyard, and spoke.

"Nie Xinlin is the second daughter and the sister of Nie Xinyao's half-father and mother, but she is neither as valued by the empress as her own sister, nor as favored by the empress as the third empress Nie Xinrou, the daughter of the third emperor, she is uneven, and she must be calculating, she wants to deal with the two sisters, but she is also afraid that the two sisters will get her pigtails, so she is naturally very cautious. Qingchen said, "The purpose of our coming this time is not to gain or destroy anything, but to hang around in the Seven Kings' Mansion, how much we can gain depends on the will of heaven." ”

"Yes, the subordinates know that no matter what happens, they will ignore it if it is not their own business, even if they are discovered, it is important to save their lives, and they must not fight. Hold Yu repeated Qingchen's instructions before he came, and then the two looked at each other in the dark, and the figure flew out quickly, falling into the shadows of the courtyard.

Qingchen and Zhuyu did not separate, but according to the layout plan of the Seven Kings Mansion that they inquired about from Nie Xinyao, they went straight to the backyard, that is, the courtyard where Nie Xinlin lived, and of course, several of Nie Xinlin's wives and concubines.

Nie Xinlin is not a womanizer, and the wives and concubines in her house are just the sons of several courtiers who married in order to consolidate her status, so Nie Xinlin does not have many opportunities to be with her wives and concubines.

"It's so late and still discussing things in the study, it seems that this Seven Imperial Daughters really has a lot of appetite and is strategic. Ji Yu squinted his eyes and said.

At this time, the two of them were lying on the roof of the room opposite the study, looking condescendingly at the study with the candle flickering, the window was open, leaving a small gap, and Nie Xinlin's figure fell into Qingchen's eyes through the gap.

"You wait here, I'll go to the roof across from the house and hear what they're saying. Qingchen commanded, "If anything is wrong, you go first, and I will have a way to escape." ”

Shuyu nodded clearly, stayed quietly on the roof, motionless, watching Qingchen like a swift swallow in the night, rushing towards the opposite roof with lightning speed, and then quietly landed directly above Nie Xinlin's study, gently uncovered the roof tiles, and leaned down to look down.

Where Qingchen was, he could only see Nie Xinlin's face, but he couldn't see what the person opposite her looked like, only that it was a thin man, hunched over, as if he was saying something to Nie Xinlin.

The distance between the roof and the room is not too far, the dust is deep, and she holds her breath, and she has heard the sound in the room faintly drifting into her ears, Nie Xinlin and the man have already finalized the plan, and then the man retreated, opened the door and walked out of the study.

Just a moment after the man left, a strange noise suddenly came from the dark night sky, but it was the man who let out a miserable scream just now, which was clearly audible in the silent night.

"Catch the assassin—"

However, in an instant, the originally peaceful Seven Kings' Mansion became full of people, and the guards who were originally hidden in the shadows and the guards standing guard in the open all poured out from all directions, heading towards the source of the sound.

When Nie Xinlin heard the voice, her face changed, she opened the study and walked out, and snorted coldly: "Someone, what's going on?"

In a short time, the commander of the royal palace came to tell him that the strategist Screening Crane, who had just walked out of the inner courtyard, had been assassinated.

"Since you dare to blatantly kill people in my Seven Kings' Mansion, it seems that you are tired of it. Nie Xinlin said coldly, "Go chase me immediately, catch the assassin and kill him." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. The Captain of the Guards nodded and took the order.

Qingchen saw that the courtyard was quiet again, so she wanted to get up and leave quietly, but she didn't expect that as soon as she moved, the tiles on the roof made a crisp sound, which alarmed Nie Xinlin, who was standing at the door of the study.

Nie Xinlin looked up at the roof, but saw Qingchen dressed in black standing on the roof, condescending, with a look at the world in her eyes, making people feel that she was not a gentleman on the beam, but an emperor who looked down on all beings.

Qingchen knew that she had been exposed, but she didn't plan to have too much entanglement with Nie Xinlin, she just found out what Nie Xinlin wanted to do, but the screening crane who was doing things for Nie Xinlin was killed, thinking that Nie Xinlin already knew that her plan was exposed, so it would be useless for her to continue to entangle.

Thinking of this, Qingchen turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the outside of the Seven Kings' Mansion, which also attracted Nie Xinlin's attention and left time for Ji Yu to leave.

Nie Xinlin chased after Qingchen relentlessly, her martial arts were not as good as Qingchen, but she used her light skills to the extreme, tightly locking the back of Qingchen leaving, no matter how Qingchen dodged, she still couldn't shake off the tail behind her.

This kind of cognition made Qingchen secretly frightened, she didn't expect Nie Xinlin's light skills to be so superb, compared to Ye Di and Sikong Mu, after all, in this world, there are only a handful of people who can catch up with her with light skills, but ...... But there has never been such a person as Nie Xinlin.

Thinking of this, Qingchen couldn't help but speed up, and finally opened a distance from Nie Xinlin, but saw a cold light flashing in front of her, and the powerful sword qi passed by her.

Qingchen hurriedly dodged away, and looked at the person who suddenly attacked her in front of her, but saw that the other party was also wearing a night robe, and the long sword in his hand still had a faint blood light, and there were also blood droplets dripping from the tip of the sword, disappearing into the dark night.

"Death to those who stand in my way. The other party's eyes were full of killing intent, and when he saw Qingchen, he only said such a sentence, and then he carried his sword towards Qingchen and killed.

The voice......

Qingchen was pondering the other party's origin, and suddenly heard the other party say those four words, she was shocked, and looked at the other side in disbelief, even if she couldn't see the whole picture of the other party in the dark, but those familiar eyes, she would not admit it no matter what.

"Xiao Yi......" She muttered and greeted her happily, wanting to lift the veil on the other party's face to see it clearly, but she didn't expect that what greeted her was the surging long sword of the other party.

Qingchen was startled, quickly dodged over, and dodged the opponent's attack, but who knew that the other party would not give up, and the blow would continue after a miss, making Qingchen seem powerless to parry.

Familiar voice, familiar eyes, familiar figure, if someone told her that the person in front of her was not Xiao Yi, she would definitely not believe it, but what is the situation now?

Qingchen's heart was in turmoil, and the sword in her hand was also a little messy, but she let the other party have the upper hand, she didn't notice it for a while, and she was injured by the other party's long sword, and a wound on her arm was cut, and blood was dripping.

The other party wanted to come again, but he looked up and saw the figure of Nie Xinlin chasing behind him, so he turned around without hesitation, hid towards the dark night, and soon disappeared, leaving Qingchen alone in the same place, and his heart was shocked.

If it weren't for the injury on her arm that reminded her that all of this was true just now, I'm afraid she would have thought she had a dream.

Qingchen knew that with her martial arts, it was more than enough to deal with Nie Xinlin, but now that she was injured, it was easy for someone to take advantage of it, not to mention that the Gu poison in southern Xinjiang made her a little jealous. Seeing Nie Xinlin getting closer and closer, Qingchen turned around again and wanted to leave.

But at this time, Nie Xinlin sent out two hidden weapons in his hand, shooting towards Qingchen, aiming at Qingchen's vital points everywhere, as if he wanted to kill Qingchen before he would stop.

Qingchen was already facing away from Nie Xinlin, the hidden weapon was menacing, she just turned around to dodge, but because there were too many hidden weapons, she couldn't dodge it, just when Qingchen swung his sword to shoot down a hidden weapon, countless darts suddenly shot out in the dark, not aimed at Qingchen, but to help Qingchen knock Nie Xinlin's hidden weapon to the ground.

"Master. A familiar voice came from the darkness, and before Qingchen could react, he only felt a force grabbing him and rushing forward, and the man casually threw a smoke bomb behind him and exploded on the ground, just enveloping Nie Xinlin, who was chasing after him.

But in a moment, there was no trace of Qingchen, and when Nie Xinlin came out of the fog and looked around, where was the shadow of the man in black?

Nie Xinlin's eyes flashed slightly, she snorted coldly, turned around and returned to the Seven Kings' Mansion, hurriedly walked in, and asked the commander of the guards:

"How's it going? Did the assassins catch it?"

"His Royal Highness Qiqi, the assassin's martial arts are strong, and his subordinates have not captured him, and I ask His Highness for forgiveness. The commander of the guards led people to search around the Seven Kings' Mansion, but they didn't find anyone, so they couldn't help but be very ashamed.

"The assassin's martial arts are strong, it's not something you can compete with, you can tell me, but someone has seen that assassin, what are the characteristics?" Nie Xinlin continued to ask.
