Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The beams were only four inches wide, and a normal adult man lying on it was in danger of falling down at any time.

But Li Ji was lying still.

He rested his hand on the side of his face, his black eyes drooping.

Looking down from this angle, you can just see the flowers lying on the bed.

The two looked at each other across the hazy night.

Hua Manman couldn't help asking: "You don't think you want to sleep on the beam overnight?"

Li Ji responded: "Yes."

The flowers are long and I can't bear it.

How can people sleep in places like the beams? What if I accidentally fall down?

She took the initiative to back down: "Why don't you sleep on the bed."

Although she is not used to sleeping with other people, but the current situation is special, it doesn't matter if she bears it.

Li Ji didn't move.

He said slowly.

"When I was marching and fighting in the past, the conditions were much more difficult than here. I just slept on the beams, which is nothing to me."

Having said that, Hua Manman still feels bad.

Li Ji saw her thoughts and said with a half-smile.

"If I really sleep in the same bed with you, I can't guarantee that I won't do something to you."

The woman he loves is lying next to him, and he is completely defenseless against him. If he has no thoughts at all, then he is not a man.

After hearing what he said, Hua Manman immediately dismissed the idea of ​​sharing the same bed with him.

She turned around, lay flat on the bed, and stretched out her hand to pull the quilt up.

The house fell silent.

Just when Li Ji thought she had fallen asleep, he suddenly heard her ask a question.

"Why did you come to Consonance City? Is it for me?"

Li Ji smiled lightly: "I thought you wouldn't ask about this matter."

How could Hua Manman not ask?

In fact, this doubt arose as early as the moment I saw Li Ji.

But because she stayed with Yueniang all the time, she didn't have time to talk to Li Ji alone, so she didn't have a chance to ask him.

At this moment, in the dead of night, there were only the two of them in the room.

It is the best time to ask questions.

Li Ji looked at her quietly, and said every word seriously.

"You left me once, and I won't give you a second chance to leave me.

Hua Manman, don't say you just ran to Lingxi City.

Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I have to catch you back. "

Hua Manman's heart beat a little faster, and the fingers that were pulling the quilt couldn't help but intensified, and the soft quilt was pulled out into folds.

She defended herself quietly.

"I didn't run."

Li Ji: "I know, it was my father who kidnapped you, and he is sorry for you. You don't have to be angry, after he goes back, someone will take care of him."

Hua Manman: "Father and son are finally reunited, you should be very happy, right?"

Li Ji sneered.

"I was very happy at first, but now, it's not necessarily so."

His father not only kidnapped his daughter-in-law, but also paid his daughter-in-law to hire prostitutes.

Oh, what are you happy about?

It's the limit of his patience if he didn't fight his father.

Hua Manman wanted to say something more, but Li Ji lowered his voice and said something.

"someone is coming."

Hua Manman's heart tightened.

We were so absorbed in the chat that we almost forgot about the assassin.

She immediately shut her mouth, not daring to make any more noise, and tightly held the dagger with her hand hidden under the quilt.

The door was gently pushed from the outside.

But because of the wooden bolt on the back of the door, the door was stuck and could not be pushed open.

After a while, a thin bamboo tube pierced the window paper and stretched into the room, and a wisp of faint white smoke was blown out from the bamboo tube.

This is a smoke that can make people's hands and feet feel weak after smelling it.

Li Ji and Hua Manman immediately covered their mouths and noses, holding their breath.

When the smoke was almost diffused in the room, a thin dagger was inserted through the crack of the door, and then pointed upwards.

Just like that, the wooden bolt behind the door was pushed open little by little.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and four masked assassins in black walked in quietly.

They held swords and other weapons in their hands, and hemp ropes were wrapped around their waists.

A look is prepared.

Hua Manman closed her eyes tightly and pretended to be sleeping, but her ears were pricked up to listen carefully to the sound of footsteps.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to her.

She knew that this was the assassin approaching her.

These assassins have learned the lesson of last night, and specially divided their work tonight.

Two of them walked towards the bed, while the other two stayed at the door. On the one hand, they were in charge of watching the wind, and on the other hand, it was convenient for them to respond.

The two assassins stopped beside the bed. They looked at Hua Manman who was still asleep, and guessed that she must have lost the ability to resist due to the smoke.

But just in case, they still planned to put the sword on Hua Manman's neck.

At this moment, Hua Manman suddenly opened his eyes, and vigorously lifted the quilt on his body forward.

The assassin was taken aback by surprise.

The wide quilt covered the head and face of the two of them.

Hua Manman took the opportunity to jump out of bed and prepare to escape.

Seeing this, the two assassins guarding the door immediately drew their swords and rushed towards her.

Hua Manman picked up the bamboo basket on the low bedside cabinet and dumped all the soybeans in it on the ground.

Soybeans are rolling all over the ground, as long as people step on it, they will slide.

The assassins couldn't stand still, so they simply jumped up with lightness kung fu, and flew towards Hua Manman together.

As soon as they flew, they happened to see Li Ji sitting leisurely on the beam.

It wasn't until this moment that they knew that there was another person hiding in this room!

They were terrified.

From the time they entered the house to now, they have been fully alert, but they have not noticed that there is any aura in this room other than the four of them and Hua Manman.

From this, it can be seen how well the man sitting on the beam concealed his breath.

Li Ji hooked one hand on the beam of the house, kicked the four assassins upside down like kicking a ball.

There were four screams in succession in the house.

Just hearing that sound made Hua Manman feel pain.

She rubbed her arms: "You didn't kick someone to death, did you?"

Li Ji jumped onto the table steadily: "No."

He didn't use all his strength just now, the four assassins should have been kicked and seriously injured, and they won't die for a while.

However, many assassins will prepare poison with them, and if the mission fails, they will commit suicide to prevent information leakage.

So Li Ji didn't delay, flew over and knocked out the four assassins one by one.

At this time, Li Liao, who lived next door, had already dealt with the masked man in black who came to assassinate him.

He heard the movement in Huamanman's room, and planned to come over to take a look, and happened to meet Yueniang at the door who also came to check on the situation.

In addition, there are inn clerks who came to inquire.

Yueniang heard the screams just now, and was very worried that something happened to the eldest son.

Because she was so anxious, she didn't even have time to knock on the door, so she opened it and walked inside.

"Master, you... ah!"

She slipped and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Then the inn boy who followed in accidentally fell.

He covered his sore buttocks, wiped the ground with the other hand, touched the soybeans, and couldn't help asking.

"Who is so wicked? He actually threw soybeans on the ground!"
