Sheng Yunzhao stiffened his neck and looked around. Under the dim skylight, several assassins were still standing, slightly hunched over and keeping vigilant gazes, as if someone had cast a restraining spell.

It's just that the eyes have lost their luster and are a bit hollow, and there is an extra line of blood on the neck...

The bright red blood slowly overflowed and slowly smeared through the clothes with the rain.

In a moment, several tall bodies crashed onto the muddy ground one after another.

This time, Ji Xuan, who was a little sluggish, was awakened. When he saw that Sheng Yunzhao was being held hostage again, he said with vigilance, "Let her go..."

Although Ji Xuan could not see the other party's true appearance, the other party's strange skills and the overwhelming killing aura that seemed to come from hell made Ji Xuan feel that this person was in danger...

In an instant, he felt that the murderous aura was inexplicably familiar, like... the shadow of that person...

The injury on his back made Ji Xuan feel as if his eyes were going dark, and his back seemed to be leaking wind, which made him suddenly feel uneasy. Even if he couldn't see his back, he could guess that the injury was serious.

But because he was worried about Sheng Yunzhao, he didn't want to faint.

Ji Xuan bit the tip of his tongue hard. The sharp pain made his eyes clearer, and the smell of blood filled his mouth.

However, Sheng Yunzhao did not look at him, but looked steadily at the man holding her waist.

Suddenly, a thought came to his mind. They knew each other and were very familiar with each other.

Could it be that this man was the reason why she decided to divorce herself?

What about the Yue Chen Banquet?

After a moment's thought, Ji Xuan was about to speak when he heard the man's low and dangerous voice asking the only survivor, "Tell me, who sent you here!"

Suddenly, the assassin trembled a few times, fell limply to the ground, his limbs twitched a few times, and died.

Angry in his heart, Ji Xuan struggled and stood up unsteadily: "Let her go!"

However, the next moment, the figure disappeared from the place like a ghost.

Also disappearing at the same time was Sheng Yunzhao!

In desperation, Ji Xuan wanted to catch up. However, he only chased for a few steps before his body swayed a few times, and there were many dark shadows in front of his eyes.

"Master!" Domu quickly supported him.

"Quickly, look for it. Notify the Imperial City Department immediately and seal the city gate." Ji Xuan firmly held Duomu's arm. "We must rescue the Crown Princess..."

"Master!" Duomu called out several times, and Ji Xuan completely fainted.

He gave Zhichun an angry look and then helped Ji Xuan quickly get into the carriage parked aside.

Looking for the Imperial City Secretary?

That woman was so selfish and ran away without caring about her master's life before. He could see it clearly.

Now the master was hurt like this again because of that woman, and the woman followed the man without even a word of concern.

It would be best if the mysterious man finished her off.

When Sheng Yunzhao got his feet on the ground, he realized that he was already in a spacious room, but the whole room was shrouded in gloomy light, and everything seemed a little blurry.

Sheng Yunzhao took two steps back and saluted with a somewhat distant look, "Thank you, Mr. Xian, for saving my life."

"Hmm?" The man made a low sound, "Do you recognize me?"

"Of course..." Sheng Yunzhao blurted out without thinking.

But then she realized that she knew him based on her past life memories, but this was the first time he and she met.

After Sheng Yunzhao finished speaking, he raised his eyes without waiting for his next words. Faint light leaked in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the man's carved tea mask particularly clearly.

But there was a sense of loneliness that she was familiar with.

Even though his face was hidden behind the mask, she knew he was looking at her.

She knew clearly that he had no ill intentions toward her, but there was an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

Sheng Yunzhao suddenly discovered that she had known him for a long time in her previous life, but she seemed to know nothing about him.

Such as his identity, such as his appearance, such as his name!

In her previous life, she felt that she had no future and had completely given up on herself. Therefore, she was indifferent to everything around her.

Now that I think about it, Mr. Xian is too perfunctory.

His voice sounded very young, but the word "sir" conveyed an air of old age.

It was as if he was deliberately catering to the fact that he was an idler.

"Sir, Yun Zhao will definitely repay your kindness if you have the opportunity in the future. It's getting late. Yun Zhao takes his leave."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.

But the next moment, the room suddenly lit up, and everything in the room seemed to suddenly appear clear and clear.

The first impression is that it is spacious, simple and elegant, but with a sense of desertedness.

Compared to the inscrutable nature of him, it seemed a bit inconsistent.

But she didn't know where it was, and she didn't ask. It was still in Chujing after all.

Then the man's deep voice sounded behind him, "It's raining heavily outside, why not sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up before leaving... Don't worry, I won't eat you."

The other party had said so, and he had just saved himself. In a sudden thought, Sheng Yunzhao changed his mind. She even dared to provoke Yue Chenyan and the Queen Mother, so why not have one more at the moment?

Sheng Yunzhao convinced himself that there is no need to worry if you have too much debt. When he turned around, his face had returned to normal: "Then Mr. Naonuo."

She walked up to the man.

The man wore a black robe and stood as tall as a mountain in front of a landscape screen a few steps away, looking at her quietly.

After a moment, he suddenly chuckled, walked up to a low table not far away and knelt down, "You seem to be very familiar with me!"

The man's final tone had an affirmative tone, and Sheng Yunzhao understood what he meant. It was because she was so surprised when she saw him at the critical moment before that she blurted out his name.

Sheng Yunzhaoke casually walked over and knelt down opposite him, and said seriously, "Well, I asked Dabao..."

The following words are self-evident. After all, there are no unreasonable good intentions, right?

Whether it's a kind reminder or a sudden show of kindness from someone you've never met before, it's normal for anyone to ask a few questions.

The bright candlelight fell on the beautiful face of the woman in front of her, and her skin was so white and tender that it seemed translucent.

A few strands of fallen hair stuck to her temples, which looked indescribably soft and charming.

But those exceptionally bright and clear eyes revealed her cunningness in the flowing light.

"Big bag? Ha," the man seemed to be saying to himself, but also seemed to mean something meaningful.

He paused and continued: "Those assassins today are not like ordinary assassins, and they assassinated you in the street so unscrupulously. I wonder who the girl has offended..."

Sheng Yunzhao had just been on the line between life and death. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been scared to death.

But she was so calm, which really made people look at her with suspicion.

For a moment, Sheng Yunzhao's eyes seemed to be filled with frost, "Yes, so unscrupulous, and the people from the Imperial City Department and the Yamen actually seemed to have their ears and eyes blocked, and they didn't even see a shadow. So you want to come to me?" It’s possible to offend someone who is either rich or noble.”

The other party didn't expect her to be so unabashed about herself.

He looked at her for a while, and she looked at him with a faint smile. Finally, he withdrew his eyes first and said casually: "Do you just believe that child?"

Sheng Yunzhao was distracted and did not think too much about it, but said: "Of course."

The man's consciousness fell silent. Sheng Yunzhao couldn't see his expression, so he couldn't judge his emotions.

"What about me? Do you believe that I have no ill intentions towards you just based on other people's descriptions?" The man asked.

She and he were strangers, so why did she believe him based on a message from a child? !

Sheng Yunzhao couldn't see his expression, but he could hear the displeasure in his tone.

She couldn't help but feel a little funny. He obviously came to her and saved her as he did in the previous life, but now he came to test her again.

But before she could speak, Sheng Yunzhao's nose felt sore, so she covered her mouth and nose and sneezed.

She sniffed and raised her hands to rub her arms. The clothes on her body were still wet and stuck to her body, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She thought to herself that she wouldn't be so squeamish that she would catch the cold after just being exposed to the rain, right?

The man froze, then stood up and said coldly, "Wait!"
