I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

Although Yu'e was dissatisfied with Bai Zhi, since she was the princess, she could not refute her decision. She took a breath and said angrily: "Yes."

"Miss Yu'e, we are surrounded by the prince's people outside. There are many people there. You are familiar with this Furong Water Pavilion. Is there a path to escape?" Bai Zhi asked in a good voice.

Yu'e said coldly: "To ensure the safety of guests, Furong Waterside Pavilion does not allow secret guards to be posted, but clear guards are allowed. There are hundreds of guards in the prince's bodyguards, and there are many masters among them. With just a few of us, it is impossible to break in." "

"But as far as I know, there is a secret passage in this room." She continued.

"Secret passage???!!!" Everyone was shocked.

"But the courtyard was built recently and is very confidential. You are the first person to move in. I don't know where the entrance to the secret passage is." Yu'e said.

The sun had already set halfway, and she didn't know when the prince would come to take her life. She didn't want to delay it for another second, so Bai Zhi said, "Then look for it!! Fortunately, the yard is not too big, so let's search separately!"

*

Lotus leaves crowd the center of the lake, and at a glance, it's surprisingly green.

Zhuo Yao stood in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, folding his hands, his eyes calm, looking at the half-red sunset in the distance.

He was waiting, waiting for time to pass.

He never likes to be procrastinating, and tonight he just wants to finish dealing with the two painters early and go to bed early.

The setting sun was obscured little by little and disappeared into the distant mountains. Gradually, the last ray of afterglow was swallowed up by the night.

There is no moon tonight, but the sky is full of stars.

Zhuo Yao took off his light armor, leaving only his red inner garment, and went into battle lightly.

He took his two lieutenants and walked slowly outside Bai Zhi's courtyard. The guarding soldiers told him the news that Yu'e had also entered.

The deputy general joked, "Do you want to kill this girl Yu'e too? It would be a pity to kill her."

"If you don't kill him, you won't stop even if you kill the prince for one night." Zhuo Yao said coldly.

Zhuo Yao jumped up on the courtyard wall, looked at the people in the courtyard who were lighting lamps, and said, "The two people in the courtyard are not painters. You go and knock them out later. There are four people in the room, two of them have skills."

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Yao hesitated for a moment, why did the two painters live in such a nice courtyard? Or are they here to paint a portrait of the owner of this courtyard?

Two of the four people had different breathing depths and had practiced martial arts. He had seen two painters before, and they were unremarkable, but the remaining two were both good at martial arts.

In other words, Yu'e is most likely not just an ordinary musician!

This Furong Waterside Pavilion cannot even be entered by the prince's secret guards, and there are hidden stakes buried there. It seems that it is not just a simple place for recreation!

Furong Waterside Pavilion is not the property of the Lin family, nor is it the property of the Zhuo family. Its apparent owner is a boss named Liu, who has only done this business for many years.

The Zhuo family had also raised suspicions and investigated, but never found any clues. Either the boss named Liu is innocent, or the person behind him is unfathomable.

Now, if Yu'e is a hidden stake, then the former can be eliminated, leaving only the latter.

Zhuo Yao became suspicious, and it seemed that Yu'e had to be arrested and tortured.

The plan has not changed. Even though there are two practitioners inside, Zhuo Yao thinks that he is no match for him. He is so confident that he doesn't want to be sneaky or even cover his face.

The servants and grooms in the courtyard had been knocked unconscious, and several people in the room were anxious to find them. Shi Qi and Yu'e heard the noise.

"We're here, we have no choice but to fight." Yu'e said coldly.

Several people stopped rummaging, locked the doors and windows as quickly as possible, and entered a state of alert.

Seventeen was the first to go to the door to be on guard, and whispered, "There are three people! Sister Princess, you hide first!"

Wei Liang quickly shrank behind the old man, while Bai Zhi casually picked up a rockery rock on the side as a self-defense weapon.

Judging from the footsteps, it seemed that the other party had no intention of hiding and wanted to rush in through the front door in a big way. Qi Qi and Yu'e hid behind the door, preparing to wait for the other party to rush in and hit them with a backhand.

The room was eerily quiet for a moment, and Bai Zhi could only hear her own breathing.

Zhuo Yao did not cover up. He could hear the alert breathing behind the door. Without any hesitation, he inserted the sword into the crack of the door and cut off the door bolt.

With a bang, the door was kicked open, and a gust of warm wind was forced into the room.

The candle shadow swayed, flickering in and out. Bai Zhi, who was staring at the door with all her concentration, seemed to have seen Zhuo Yao's face.

How could it be him? !

Just taking one step into the door, Zhuo Yao's sword rose and fell, taking the lead to strike at Shi Qi behind the door.

"Zhuo Yao——"

The voice-changing medicine Bai Zhi had taken in the morning had now worn off. Her cry came out quickly and clearly.

In an instant, even though Zhuo Yao's mind hadn't reacted yet, his body had already stopped in time.

Seventeen also stopped his momentum and dodged. But Yu'e, who was hiding behind another door, didn't stop, and stabbed her with a dagger as long as her forearm.

Almost immediately after Bai Zhi's sound fell, Yu'e's dagger sank into Zhuo Yao's abdomen.

Severe pain came, and Zhuo Yao instinctively raised his hand to hold the remaining half of the dagger, preventing Yu'e from stabbing deeper.

Bai Zhi almost witnessed the whole process, and her mind went blank for a moment. She had no time to shout. She staggered over the table and chairs, kicked over the stool with the vase, and the porcelain vase broke into pieces.

She rushed to Zhuo Yao and supported his slightly swaying body with her body.

At the same time, Zhuo Yao's two lieutenants also rushed in. Seeing Zhuo Yao being stabbed, the two of them drew their swords angrily, intending to fight to the death with the people in the house.

"Stop! Close the door! Don't make any noise!" Zhuo Yao's breath was slightly disordered, but he arranged calmly.

The two lieutenants looked at each other and sheathed their swords.

Shi Qi instantly understood the situation and stepped between Yu'e and Zhuo Yao, preventing them from continuing to fight.

"Uh..." Zhuo Yao unconsciously let out a painful groan from his throat. The dagger was still inserted into Zhuo Yao's body, and blood was oozing from the wound.

Seeing the bright red seeping out from between his fingers, Bai Zhi's eyes instantly turned red. She turned to his two lieutenants and said, "Hurry and help me get him to the bed!"

"No need, I can leave." He looked at Bai Zhi and said coldly.

"Gauze, hemostatic and wound medicine, doctor...I'm going to find the doctor!" Bai Zhi said while supporting Zhuo Yao.

"Don't go out! Don't let anyone find out that I'm injured!" Zhuo Yao interrupted her sharply.

Zhuo Yao thought he could walk to the chair aside, but the bursts of pain while walking made him couldn't help but put more weight on Bai Zhi.

Although Zhuo Yao is not as tall as Meng Ying, he is almost the same. With his strong figure, his weight goes without saying.

Bai Zhi was so slender that she couldn't help but tremble when she held Zhuo Yao's arm. After walking a few steps, Zhuo Yao's pain became more severe. There were broken porcelain pieces from the vase under his feet. He wanted to lift his feet to avoid them, but his feet became weak and he stumbled forward.

Bai Zhi stepped forward and used her body to support his body that was about to collapse.

"Zhuo Yao..." Bai Zhi's voice was trembling.

Zhuo Yao put his arm on Bai Zhi's shoulder, and at this time, sweat was dripping from his forehead. Thin pains came through, and he clenched his teeth unconsciously.

He steadied himself, raised his head, and saw tears in her eyes. For a moment, he had an impulse to hold her in his arms, so that it might not hurt so much.

This thought just flashed through his mind, and his reason told him that he couldn't do this.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and forced a smile.

"Don't cry, I'm fine."
