There were two other people in the small courtyard where Bai Zhi lived, Liu Zi, the servant of the palace who fed the horses, and Lao Yangtou, the old horseman.

It was sunset, and the two of them had just had dinner and were leisurely enjoying fruits in the courtyard.

Liuzi threw a jujube into his mouth, "Sweet! This place is nice. My younger brother should do this job. It's me every time. When I get back, he'll make trouble again!"

Hearing this, Old Yangtou also tasted a date, "It's sweet! He's too young and careless! It would be better if it could be paired with some wine."

While they were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

Bai Zhi, Wei Liang and Shi Qi also heard the knock on the door in the room. The three of them were all frightened. Shi Qi immediately grasped the hilt of the sword and stood in front of Bai Zhi.

Liuzi was in a good mood and shouted "Coming!" with a smile.

"There is only one person outside the door, do you want to stop him?" When Shi Qi asked this question, he was already ready to go.

Bai Zhi shook her head.

"That's not necessary. He's not here to kill us." Wei Liang panicked for a moment and then regained his composure.

"How can you see it?" Bai Zhi asked.

"The people who live in the Furong Waterside Pavilion are all dignitaries. It's not dark yet, and there are all the handymen and people who are passing by to enjoy the scenery outside. Even the prince will not blatantly come to kill people." Wei Liang analyzed carefully.

Wei Liang: "The soldiers outside should be monitoring us in the name of defending the prince. Even if we go out now, they will not take action. Soldiers are different from killers. They only execute military orders, and military orders have a purpose. No one would issue such a military order to kill two painters without any name or name."

"You have a very lively mind!" Bai Zhi praised.

Just as he was talking, Liu Zi came in. He respectfully said to Bai Zhi: "Master, there is a girl outside. She said her name is Yu'e. She lost something in the Pipa Tower today. I would like to ask the master if she saw it?"

Bai Zhi and Wei Liang looked at each other and saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"What's the background of this girl Yu'e? Is she from the prince?" Bai Zhi asked.

"I don't know, I've been here for more than half a month. Her whereabouts are only between her residence and Pipa Tower. In the past half month, the only person who has had contact with her is Lin Chong. She is a weak woman, do you doubt her? "Wei Liang was slightly puzzled, but he thought it was right to be vigilant.

"The girl outside the door is not a weak woman, she knows kung fu!" Shi Qi suddenly interrupted.

"Ah?" Bai Zhi and Wei Liang said in unison.

"I...I...I should be able to fight..." Shiqi hesitated, his eyes full of uncertainty.

"Should?" Wei Liang held his forehead and sighed.

"Let her in. If she is a killer, why would she be waiting there stupidly right now! Just to see what her purpose is." Bai Zhi made this decision and then shook some powder into the tea.

Shi Qi understood Bai Zhi's intention and hid in the dark to be on guard.

Liuzi led Yu'e into the door. Yu'e looked calm and bowed to Bai Zhi, "Young Master, today Yu'e lost a jade pendant in the Pipa Tower. I came here to bother you. I wonder if you saw it?"

Bai Zhi raised her hand to signal Yu'e to take a seat, and responded politely, "I've never seen it before, but don't worry, girl. Please tell me in detail how you lost it. Maybe I can remember something."

Bai Zhi also poured some tea for Yu'e, "Miss Yu'e, please have some tea."

Yu'e glanced briefly, then slowly raised her hand, picked up the teacup, and brought it to her lips.

Angelica dahurica added some cartilage powder into the tea. It is a secret recipe specially prepared by Dr. Gu. It is colorless and odorless. They knew very little about Yu'e and had to guard against her.

Seeing that the tea cup was within a stone's throw of Yu'e's lips, Yu'e's eyes suddenly became sharp.

With a bang, the teacup in Yu'e's hand fell onto the screen.

In an instant, murderous intent arose in the room!

The situation changed too quickly. Bai Zhi and Wei Liang instinctively hid in the corner, picked up the weapons at hand, and entered a defensive state.

Shiqi stepped out in an instant, and the sharp sword blade came out smoothly. The silver light flashed past Yu'e's raised hair and pointed directly at her throat.

Seventeen's heart dropped, he succeeded!

Bai Zhi's heart also rose and fell. She clutched the weapon in her hand, her fingertips gradually turning white.

At this moment, Yu'e's eyes flashed with light. She leaned back lightly, her flexible waist bent into an arch, and she instantly avoided Shiqi's attack.

At the same time, Yu'e deftly turned somersaults upside down and kicked Qi Qi in the chest.

Although Seventeen was not kicked back by this kick, he was distracted. When he came to his senses, Yu'e's small dagger had already been pressed into his throat from behind.

"Seventeen, you are too lazy." Yu'e said coldly from behind.

Seventeen was shocked, "You know me?!"

Not only was Shiqi surprised, but Bai Zhi was also shocked from ear to ear. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "Who are you? Let Shiqi go!"

Yu'e did not answer Bai Zhi and Shi Qi's words, but asked herself, "She is your master? Then she is the princess?"

Bai Zhi was worried about Shi Qi's safety, so she cleared her throat and said sternly: "Exactly! I am Princess Ning. If you have anything to say, just tell me and let him go!"

"Princess, you misunderstood! This subordinate is from the Shadow Pavilion and is called Yi'e." Yu'e said, letting go of Shi Qi and pushing him.

Shi Qi staggered forward a few steps, then looked back at Yu'e in surprise, "Are you Yi'e?"

Bai Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to catch him, "An acquaintance?"

Shi Qi scratched the back of his head and muttered in an aggrieved voice, "Well, people from the Shadow Pavilion, I thought Yi'e was an old woman! I... lost again. Can the princess sister not tell the prince..."

Bai Zhi held her forehead, wondering if the child's focus was wrong.

Yu'e didn't feel displeased when she heard the words, but said to Bai Zhi with a cold expression: "Princess, please leave quickly, the prince wants to kill you."

After saying that, she turned to Wei Liang and said, "As for you, anyone who knows my identity will die."

Wei Liang was startled by this woman's cold eyes and hurriedly hid behind Bai Zhi, "Sister! Help me! I won't say anything!"

Bai Zhi also looked back at him, a little troubled. He could not trust him based on his words, nor was he willing to end his life at will.

"Only dead people don't speak." While Bai Zhi was hesitating, Yu'e said, her voice without warmth.

She threw the dagger in her hand at the same time, straight towards Wei Liang, or in other words, towards Bai Zhi.

As soon as Bai Zhi turned around, she saw the dagger stabbing her. She was not a martial arts practitioner and her brain could not react quickly, so she froze in place.

boom--

The sound of swords clashing came, and Shi Qiyi sword swung away Yu'e's dagger, "Sister Princess has the final say here! If she doesn't let you move, you are not allowed to move!"

Yu'e was vaguely irritated by Shi Qi's move. She glanced coldly, walked aside, slowly picked up her dagger, snorted lightly, and said coldly: "Just kill someone."

Bai Zhi steadied herself and stared at Yu'e in front of her with vigilance.

Bai Zhi could see from the hostility in her that this woman was not an enemy, but she was not a friend either.

She stood in front of Wei Liang and said, "Miss Yu'e, I'll just assume that you are helping me. We are surrounded by the prince now. The most urgent thing is to escape. We will discuss other matters later!"
