The target of the assassination is the fox

Chapter 16 It's Time to Take Action

In the evening, dark clouds covered the sky, making it extremely hot.The vegetation in the courtyard was silent, and the air seemed to be stagnant, not even a breath of wind.I sat in my room, watching the blue-gray slowly appearing on the silver needle, and frowned.

Because I noticed something was wrong before, I have been extra careful in the past two days. When others deliver food, they have to close the door and take a silver needle to check one by one before I dare to eat.Especially today is the eighth day of entering the temple. According to the rules, the temple will distribute a bowl of special Fuze tea soup to each person during dinner to show respect. If the lurking group wants to poison, they will probably take advantage of this time.

Heh, it is said to be careful sailing for ten thousand years.

Although I am not proficient in poison art, my senior brother taught some in the past, and this happened to be Shuanghe San among them.Shuanghe San is composed of two colorless and odorless potions, and the combination of the two will take effect.Now that group of people put it in the rice and tea soup separately, if the silver needle is tried alone, it can't be tested, but after mixing it thoroughly, a layer of blue-gray will appear.Once the two poisons are eaten together, they will produce the effect of perspiration medicine, but the time of poisoning is relatively slow.

This kind of poison is rare, and it has appeared only a handful of times in the rivers and lakes in the past century, and almost all of them have been lost. I didn't expect this group of people to get it.

I put away the silver needle and looked out through the window.In Youshi, everyone had eaten at this moment, and it would take about an hour for the medicine to take full effect, and at that time, everyone just fell asleep again, and they would pass out silently in their sleep, and then be slaughtered.Such a method can be described as cunning and hard to guard against.It seems that they have planned for a long time, and there must be internal responses.

Who is their target?The concubine and the others are still princesses?Heh... No matter who it is, I have to fish in troubled waters.I'm going to decide the fate of the princess.

Take out the Mingfeng hidden at the bottom of the box, burn incense and wipe it carefully.The cold light on the sharp blade reflected in my pupils, and I smiled deeply.

Tonight is dark and windy.

Those people acted cautiously, probably not to act quickly just in case, after all, there are many martial arts masters in the entourage, accidents are prone to happen, not to mention there are hidden guards hiding around.The latest effect of Shuanghe Powder should be the night watch guards. When they notice something strange about themselves, the assassins will show up and kill them all before alarming the hidden guards.

And I just want to find the princess before that group of people act, and then take advantage of the chaos... Eh heh heh.

The sound of dripping water in the corner was regular and slow, especially clear in the silence, and the sound was inspiring.Calculating the time, most of the people in the temple should be unconscious by now.I put out the candle, feeling a faint excitement in my heart...and some indescribable emotions.Wrap Mingfeng around the cloth back, then wrap a soft sword around the waist, and then take out a box from the hidden place of the cabinet.Open it with a key, and nine of the ten small bottles inside have been empty.

Oops, not enough.

These potions are used for nursing and removing the mask. Every two or three days, I will deal with the fake mask on my face and take it off to let it breathe.But before I came here, I didn't find a chance to buy more, and then I accidentally knocked over two bottles, and now I only have this.

No matter, just wear it.After thinking about it, I simply changed my clothes and directly covered my face with a scarf.After observing the outside through the window gap for a long time, he jumped out from the back window, hid himself in the flowers, and took a hidden path to leave.

When passing by Xiaolan's room, he hesitated.

Although those people only used the Shuanghe Powder to induce coma, but the ultimate purpose is still unclear, and there is no guarantee that the rest will not be in danger.What if some of them are unscrupulous and lecherous, and after breaking into Xiaolan's room, they see the beautiful little girl lying on the bed and have evil thoughts?

I clenched my hands tightly, but in the end I couldn't help myself.Jumping in from the unlocked window, I lifted the bed curtain and saw that I was already unconscious.But...but why does this girl dress so shamelessly and revealingly when she sleeps!I can't bear to look directly at a person on the bed who is not covered by a quilt and only has a bellyband showing a lot of white skin.

I can't tell that Xiaolan still likes this coquettish pattern... I bent down to pick him up, and I couldn't help but get excited when I touched the naked and exposed skin.So smooth, bah, how can I focus on this in an emergency!

So I quickly hid her under the bed to make sure there was nothing wrong, and I quickly jumped out the window to get down to business.

However, as soon as he went out, he saw several black shadows passing over the roof in the distance.I was shocked, did it so quickly?It's still too late to follow up with lightness kung fu.

Several teams of guards outside the princess's courtyard started to get angry, they all lost their steps and staggered, but before they could make a sound, the masked assassin jumped down and sealed his throat with a sword, silently and neatly.

The smell of blood spread in the air.

It seems that their goal is very clear, which is the piece of fat around my mouth.Hmph, fortunately I was prepared.

I quickly waved my hand and threw a string of flashing firecrackers behind them, and the crackling sound alarmed the hidden guards elsewhere.Those masked assassins were stunned, and before they could find out who did the wrong thing, they were forced to dodge hurriedly, avoiding the darts that came through the air one after another.At this moment, the clouds were clearing and the moon was rising, and by the moonlight, I could see a few black shadows flying towards the branches, their figures were so handsome!

Immediately in the quiet night, there was the sound of weapons clashing.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the assassin fired a signal flare into the air, and soon there were more than 20 black-clothed assassins, many of whom had already crossed the wall.Inside and outside the courtyard are all wrestling figures, one of which is apricot-colored, which is particularly pretty and conspicuous.

It's Dafang.I was slightly taken aback, but it was also expected.That's right, how could a cautious and rigid person like her drink the tea soup that could bring good luck, and the princess, who is picky, probably secretly poured it out.

But so what, they never expected such an accident to happen tonight.I squinted to see Dafang's expression and movements, her figure was still calm and calm, but it was not difficult to find that she seemed to deliberately lure the assassins away, preventing them from approaching the area on the right side of the wing.Occasionally, he glanced at the situation, and there would be some nervousness and worry faintly in his expression.

The princess is hiding there.

But don't worry...you can watch another good show.I leaned leisurely on the big tree, and saw that the temple buildings near and far were all dark at this time, no candle was lit in any room, no one came out with clothes on to see what happened.

The entire Maple Leaf Temple, like a fallen lonely city, has no reinforcements.

Suddenly, the first figure flashed past, swayed out from the dark corner on the side of the wing room, then ran into the distant night, towards the main hall.But despite the swift action, it was still discovered.

"Chasing!" The assassin leader waved his hand, and several people wanted to chase him out.Dafang hastily stepped forward to block it.

I was still staring at the original dark corner.The woman who ran out just now is not the princess at all, I'm afraid it's just a substitute to distract attention.And even if that person deliberately pretended to be, it was hard to hide his light and strong figure, and he used the internal footwork, presumably it was none other than Chu Ling, the head of the dark guard who was very good at lightness.

Princess, princess, how long can you endure it?I rubbed the soft sword at my waist.

Although the martial arts of these assassins are very powerful, Dafang won't be defeated by one against five, and a stalemate formed for a while.However, there were a large number of assassins, and they were all outlaws. Soon the princess's hidden guards couldn't hold on anymore, and many assassins escaped and chased towards the hall.

That's it.I secretly thought.

Sure enough, in an imperceptible place, several black shadows took the opportunity to bypass the back of the wing room and cross the wall.The real princess has already taken three hidden guards and ran to the back mountain under the cover of night.

God help me too.

I followed quietly, followed down the mountain, and soon entered the dark forest.The surrounding area was silent, only the night owl above the head among the branches croaked occasionally, the voice was shrill and strange, and the bushes and bushes on both sides were criss-crossed, looking like ghosts in the dim light.It's a good place to kill and throw away corpses, but before I could make a move, several masked assassins suddenly jumped down from the tree in front of me, and surrounded the four princesses.

Heh, the people who wanted to kill the Princess really kept calling after another, and even set up an ambush here.

"Princess, you have nowhere to escape. We are also sympathetic, and we don't want to hurt you, so you should go with us obediently." A man with a big knife said loudly, his tone was very smug and frivolous, almost Like a shameless bandit who wants to rob sex after getting rich.I looked a little unhappy.The dark guard following the Princess' face was even darker, and he gritted his teeth and reprimanded: "Don't be presumptuous, the thief!" After speaking, the sword came out of its sheath with a few clangs.

"Toast, don't eat fine wine!" The man with big sword laughed, and he rushed forward with his accomplices. Seeing this, the dark guards immediately turned their backs to form a formation, and surrounded the princess in the center.

The sound of fighting in the forest startled a group of birds that slept overnight. Their dreams were disturbed, and they fluttered their wings and flew away.

Those assassins seemed to want to leave a life alive and take the Princess away directly, but with three hidden guards guarding them, they couldn't take it away for a while.However, the three hidden guards were outnumbered after all, and they struggled to cope, and they couldn't last long.Soon, they were thrown out of formation.Seeing that the big-sword man had already stretched out his salty pig's hand to the princess, I drew out my soft sword angrily.

Just kidding, the princess is mine, how can I let them catch it casually!I tiptoed a few bushes and dashed out, quickly rushed into the battle, turned over and stepped on the shoulder of an assassin, leaped into the air, and slashed the wrists of two nearby assassins with a flick of my hand, and then screamed in pain In the sound, the sword turned and pointed directly at the man with the big sword.

The other party was not a vegetarian either, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Danger leaning aside to dodge, and he stepped back a few steps in an instant, his footwork was unexpectedly sensitive.I took advantage of the situation and landed beside the princess, and the three guards who managed to get away saw me approaching their master and rushed over vigilantly with their swords: "Princess!"

"Hey, they're all my own people." I hurriedly waved my sword to block the attack of the hidden guards, and said in a low voice with a thick voice.Unexpectedly, the princess beside me who has been keeping calm all the time has quick eyes and quick hands, and took advantage of my unpreparedness to directly take off my face scarf, and the attack was so quick and ruthless!

"It's you?" After seeing my face, she was obviously very surprised, and the next moment her eyes were sharp: "You know martial arts! Who are you, and why are you not poisoned?"

Tsk, the sound was so cold that it almost turned into icy scum, making me seem to be in the same group as those assassins.I was inexplicably weak when I was busy dealing with those people's swords, and laughed: "Don't pay too much attention to these details now, okay, Princess, you are not poisoned."

She stopped talking, and looked at me quietly with her deep eyes, which were uncertain.

"Hey, there's another one to die. Come on, brothers!" The man with the big knife shouted at his accomplices, and at the same time took out a whistle and blew it violently, as if to send some kind of signal.They should be calling for other accomplices, because many of their men are already injured and down.

And at this time, I was being stared at by a certain fox, and I felt chills in my vest, secretly blaming myself for being worthless.While protecting the prey intimately from the sword to prevent them from being scratched, I have to accept the cold scrutiny for what is going on, obviously I should come out aggressively and resist this person away.

"Protect me." After a while, she said to me in a deep voice, her whole body was cold and intimidating, like a queen giving orders.I was slightly stunned, raised my eyes to meet those captivating pupils, and finally curled my lips slowly.

"Obey." I took her hand and moved towards me suddenly, and while she let out a low cry of surprise, I embraced her waist, and the fine sword wind immediately surrounded her to protect her.In fact, doing this is a bit of revenge and teasing. Even if I am a woman, the high-ranking princess will definitely be annoyed if she is so offended, but in this situation, does she dare to get angry with me?

Just as he was speculating maliciously, he suddenly felt a pair of frail and boneless bracelets gently wrapping around his nose, with a warm fragrance around his nose.I was startled, and almost slipped my sword into the back of the head of the guard next to me.She lowered her head and glanced secretly, the person half leaning in her arms didn't look at each other with anger, but only lowered her eyes slightly, her beautiful face was as calm as a bottomless pool.

Being imprisoned and still calm and composed, without a trace of fear, he really is a fox.Whether it's a seductive or cold appearance, people can't see through it, just like wearing a mask.She sealed herself with layers of camouflage.

Suddenly there was an idea of ​​wanting to take off her mask.I want to see her for real.

It's not that I want to know her, I'm just curious.

Tsk tsk, then when I get a chance, I will take her to a place called Tian Tian Ying, and the ground is not working well, and then I will appreciate her regretful appearance. Hehehe... What kind of expression will she have at that time? ?

"Be careful!" The person in his arms suddenly shouted at this moment.I only had time to hear a slight and sharp sound of breaking through the air behind me, and I was pushed away.

With a bang, the sharp arrow passed in front of him and sank into the tree trunk.

Someone actually shot arrows in the dark!When I came back to my senses, I couldn't help being shocked.If I hadn't been pushed away just now, the arrow would have passed through my head!My eyes darkened, and I immediately threw a dart to shoot down the cold archer who was ambushing on the tree, and then backhanded to separate the blades that were about to fall on the princess.

"Princess, are you okay!" the dark guard said anxiously.

"It's okay." She looked at me: "Are you hurt?"

Although the voice was not very warm, there was worry in those clear eyes, which did not seem to be fake.My heart suddenly touched, and at the same time I was a little aggrieved.No, it is very aggrieved.

What should I do, I was too complacent to be saved by the prey in the end.Master said that the savior is the reborn parent, so how can I happily abduct her to a place where no one is around and kill her!

Feeling flustered.

"Ah!" Someone nearby cried out in pain, accompanied by the sound of a sharp knife cutting into the flesh.I looked up and saw that a hidden guard on our left was injured, and at the same time, I realized that there were two more assassins at some point, and the one who had just injured the hidden guard...wasn't the white-faced abbot's friend!

Although my face was covered, I was deeply impressed by the thick eyebrows and big eyes and a scar at the corner of the eye!The abbot's friend turned out to be an assassin, so does he have anything to do with this matter?

And the other one next to me is also easily recognizable with her face covered, that is the bold and unrestrained female assassin who held me hostage and can hide a sword in her chest!
