Hualuo Chang'an

Luo Changxi took Gongyi out of the main hall, and chose a slightly secluded corridor to move forward.

"Actually, I'm not familiar with this palace either."

"Ah?" It took Gong Yining a long time to come back to her senses, remembering that Ling Shuangxiu seemed to have told her that Luo Changxi was sent out of the palace by Concubine Ling when she was very young, and she didn't grow up in the palace.Gongyi Ning thought for a while, then said: "No wonder you are different from the Fourth Princess."

Luo Changxi didn't understand, and asked, "Why is it different?"

"She's more of a princess than you."

Gong Yining laughed softly.

Luo Changxi was slightly taken aback, but also said with a smile: "That's true."

After all, it was in the palace, even if Luo Changxi deliberately avoided crowded places, he would occasionally meet a few palace people along the way.When the palace people saw Luo Changxi, they all hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.In this way, Gong Yining didn't dare to be too presumptuous, saying "go around", but such a rigid "turning" method exhausted Gong Yining.

"Forget it, let's go see the fourth princess."

"What? You don't like the palace?"

"It's not just that I don't like it, it's just..." Gong Yining said halfway, and then looked around, seeing no one around, and then said angrily, "It's like a big prison! No matter where you go, there are people watching , there is nothing more tiring than this..."

This is really outrageous.

After hearing this, Luo Changxi subconsciously looked around before laughing in a low voice.

Because they just wandered around after leaving the palace, Gong Yining suddenly proposed to go to the fourth princess Luo Changyue's palace, but Luo Changxi hesitated.

"Luo Changxi, you don't know the way, do you?"

Seeing that Luo Changxi hadn't taken a step for a long time, Gongyi couldn't help asking.

"It's true... I can't remember clearly."

Although Luo Changxi didn't want to admit it, she hadn't entered the palace for many years. After returning to Beijing this time, she had tried every means to avoid Luo Mingde, let alone run into the palace for no reason.At this time, they had already detoured to a small path that few people passed by, and the palace lanterns were not much lit, and there were shadows of trees everywhere, which seemed a bit strange in this chilling autumn night.But when he looked around, he felt that the surroundings were similar. Luo Changxi only vaguely felt that they had walked to the southwest corner of the palace, but he couldn't be sure what palace they were near.

Gong Yining was surprised at first, and then found it funny.

She used to think that Luo Changxi was an omnipotent and powerful figure, but she never thought that Luo Changxi didn't know the way!

"You..." Gong Yining thought it was funny, so she really laughed out loud, "Then how did you know your way when you were fighting in southern Xinjiang? Could it be that you lost your way by hunting? It's really... ouch..."

"Nonsense! I just don't know the way to the palace."

Luo Changxi was telling the truth.

When she was in southern Xinjiang, she could tell the direction of the wind, see the water level, and explore the mountains and terrain. She has long been used to it, and naturally she will never get lost.But within the red walls of the palace, there are pavilions, halls and corridors everywhere, and they all look similar.Luo Changxi rarely entered the palace a few times before, and there were palace people leading the way, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She thought that she was familiar with the roads of the palace, so she wanted to use her "knowledge" many years ago to accompany Gongyi Ning take a walk.

who knew...

"……Killing me friends."

Gong Yining was still laughing.

"Gong Yi Ning!"

"Okay." Seeing the angry look on Luo Changxi's face, Gongyi could only hold back a smile, and said again, "I won't laugh at you anymore. Go find a palace official and ask the way. You can't find the way in this palace." No, you always know people... Ah, you probably don’t know a few people, right? But fortunately you are a princess, even though you don’t know them, they know you anyway!”

Luo Changxi snorted coldly, and didn't bother to pay attention to the mocking meaning in Gong Yining's words, but really followed the words and walked towards the corridor in front where the palace lanterns were the brightest.

Gong Yining still found it funny.

If this matter is placed on others, it is probably nothing ridiculous.But this ignorant person is Luo Changxi, and Gong Yining feels that she can't laugh enough.Especially seeing Luo Changxi deliberately put on a serious face with a straight face, but he couldn't hide the embarrassment in his eyes, it was really interesting.

Seeing that Luo Changxi had already walked under a hanging flower door, Gong Yining just wanted to ask, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Inexplicably, she felt a little hairy in her heart.

It felt out of the blue.

Everything seemed very peaceful in front of her eyes, but Gong Yining's intuition told her that there seemed to be something peeping at them right here, in those dark places where the palace lanterns couldn't illuminate.

"Luo Changxi!"

Luo Changxi turned around in response.

At this moment, a black figure suddenly sprang out of the darkness very quickly, and rushed straight at Luo Changxi.Gongyi Ning was taken aback, but when she looked intently, she only saw a bright saber light slashing in the air!

"Luo Changxi—"

Luo Changxi has been fighting in southern Xinjiang for many years, and has encountered countless dangers and dangers, so he has long been trained to respond quickly.When the saber wind had just arrived, she had already sensed that one side of her body was dangerously out of the way of the ultimate move, and when she turned around again, her right hand quickly pulled out the Yang Devouring Saber from her waist.However, the black shadow pressed on every step of the way, and he missed a hit and made several moves in succession, the moves were ruthless, directly targeting Luo Changxi's vital points.

Gongyi Ning watched in horror from the other side. Even her low martial arts skills could tell that the man in black who suddenly jumped out had high martial arts skills, even stronger than Luo Changxi.

Luo Changxi fought with him more than a dozen moves, and the more he fought, the more frightened he became.

"who?"

The other party didn't answer, but the moves in his hands were faster, forcing Luo Changxi to have no room to breathe, and he didn't dare to speak out again.

But Gong Yining didn't dare to wait any longer, and ran towards the hanging flower door with her skirt in hand.This is the palace!Even if there is no one here, there will always be guards passing by on night patrol. As long as more people are called, no matter how high the martial arts of this man in black is, he will not be able to withstand the encirclement of many imperial guards, right?

However, just as Gong Yining ran to the corridor, she suddenly heard a very slight sound of breaking through the air.

"careful!"

Luo Changxi, who was caught in a fierce fight, even screamed with all his strength.

Although Gong Yining's martial arts are not very good, but because she likes to play with some mechanisms on weekdays, she has also trained her perception to be extremely sensitive.As soon as she heard the sound of breaking through the sky, she knew that something was wrong, because it was difficult to tell which side to which side, Gongyi Ning simply turned backwards, rolled from the corridor to the outside with her flexible waist, and rolled to the ground.

At the same time, only a ding sound was heard, and a dart was being nailed into the place where Gong Yining was standing before.

Gongyi has excellent eyesight, and through the shining palace lantern above her head, she can still see the faint green of the head of the dart nailed into the pillar.

poison dart.

Looking at the shape of the dart, it looks very familiar, like——

The dart that killed Qu Yiliu!

Shocked, Gong Yining hurried to see Luo Changxi again.Luo Changxi had been working extremely hard at first, but just now he tried his best to give a warning. In such a short time, the man in black made a killing move, and even scratched Luo Changxi's arm, causing two wounds on his waist and abdomen.This time Gong Yining was even more astonished, the martial arts of this man in black were simply unfathomable, he was able to drive Luo Changxi into a dangerous situation, and at the same time he was able to spare another thought to throw a poison dart at her!

Fortunately, the sharp knife in the man's hand didn't seem to have quenched the poison, otherwise Luo Changxi would have been killed in two consecutive strokes.

Gong Yining didn't dare to be careless. When she touched her body, she realized that she didn't have any weapons.Originally, she was only going to the palace to have a banquet with Luo Changxi tonight, at most she would only see Luo Changxi's sister, so naturally she would not have expected that she would encounter such a dangerous place in the heavily guarded palace.Gongyi Ning was so anxious that she finally touched the cowhide wristband she was wearing next to her body in the armhole. She no longer thought about the difference in strength between herself and the man in black, and she didn't care that Luo Changxi was still in the middle of the battle , she only opened the mechanism in the wristband, and when she raised her wrist, a row of fine steel needles shot straight towards the man in black.

This one really helped.

The two people who had been wrestling in the same place both snorted, each took a step back, and the moves in their hands stopped.

Just as Gong Yining was about to step forward, she saw the man in black suddenly turn his head to look at her.This time, there was no need for Luo Changxi to make a sound, Gong Yining immediately lowered her body, and quickly rolled into the bushes beside her.

There was another ding.

——A green glowing poison dart was nailed into the ground.

Gongyi Ning broke out in a cold sweat, hid herself behind the shadow of a tree, and never dared to move rashly again.

Luo Changxi was injured first, and then hit by Gong Yining's hidden weapon. He felt that half of his arm was numb and lost consciousness. A pair of eyes were exposed, with a sharp gaze.Luo Changxi gritted his teeth, switched the Sun Devouring Knife to his left hand, and stood with the knife horizontally, staring fixedly at the man in black in front of him.

"Are you from Eagle Castle?"

The man in black didn't answer, but he didn't move either.

"You killed Qu Yiliu?"

The man in black suddenly sneered, and jumped away. His figure was extremely fast, and within a few ups and downs, he rushed into the shadows and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Luo Changxi didn't have the strength to chase anymore, so he took a few breaths holding the knife.

"Gongyining..."

Gongyining heard the movement and ran out from the bushes.

"Luo Changxi! How are you?"

"Death... can't be done." Luo Changxi panted heavily, and said with a wry smile, "But... your hidden weapon... is really powerful, what is... what is it?"

Only then did Gong Yining come to her senses, and hurriedly supported Luo Changxi and said, "It's okay, it's just the anesthetic that the miracle doctor gave me, and it will be relieved after a while. If it's really poisonous, how dare I ejaculate indiscriminately?"

"Um……"

Luo Changxi fought with the man in black for a long time, and only now did he feel weak, and unconsciously leaned most of his body on Gong Yining, but just in time to smell the dense fragrance of her hair, he felt at ease Not a lot.

"You... are bleeding..." Gong Yining was looking at her wound, and the more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, her voice trembled a little, "Luo Changxi, you...why do you always get hurt... "

"It's just a flesh wound, it doesn't matter."

Luo Changxi gradually recovered, and couldn't help but think about the man in black who suddenly appeared.But Gong Yining cared more about her injuries, and was in a hurry to leave the palace and return home.But thinking about it, Gong Yining couldn't help complaining again: "What's the matter with this broken place? You've been fighting for so long, but no one heard anything? Didn't everyone say that the imperial guards in the palace were able to detect it? Is it the strictest? Not even a night watchman?"

Gongyi Ning originally just complained a few words, whining.

But Luo Changxi came back to his senses after hearing this.

"You're right, no matter how remote this place is, there shouldn't be a single person there."

"What's the meaning?"

"This matter needs to be investigated again." Luo Changxi kept it in his heart, and thought of a few strange things.

But Gong Yining became impatient, and said angrily: "It's not a matter of the moment to check or not! We still have to get out of this ghostly place quickly! Otherwise, what if the man in black came back again?"

"good."

"Where are we... going?"

"Get out of this courtyard first, and then go forward to see if you can meet the palace people." Luo Changxi said, "It's not appropriate to make this matter public for now, let's go to the Qifang Palace of my fourth sister first."

"it is good."

Gong Yining carefully supported Luo Changxi, and hurried through the corridor.When walking to the Chuihua Gate, Gong Yining paused suddenly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket with one free hand, and carefully pulled out the poison dart nailed into the pillar.

"what happened?"

"I'll take it back and check it out." Gong Yining carefully looked at the green body of the dart, thought for a while, first leaned Luo Changxi against the corner of the wall, wrapped the poison dart with a handkerchief, and then touched it from his body. He took out a purse, stuffed it in, and finally put it carefully in his pocket.

After leaving the Chuihua Gate, the two of them walked for a while, and unexpectedly ran into the grand lady of Qifang Palace, who happened to bring the two of them there.It turns out that this place is not far from Qifang Palace, only separated by two palaces.Go forward along the corridor, turn another corner, and you will arrive.Gong Yining looked up, but saw that in front of her was a courtyard with high walls, and a large plaque was hung in the middle, with two large characters on it——

Nanyuan.
