Darkness came, and everyone began to prepare to rest.
Chu Qingyan opened her eyes and waited. Since she was injured, Xiao Xu often came to see her before she went to sleep, and only went back to her room after she fell asleep, perhaps because she was worried that she would have nightmares again.
When Chu Qingyan waited quietly, a white figure appeared on the palace wall of King Ying's mansion. His charming eyes glanced at the wall, and then he tapped his toes, and shuttled through the mansion like a ghost at night. The speed was very fast, showing martial arts. It was so high that it easily passed through the layers of guards. If you didn't look carefully, it was like a gust of wind brushing your cheeks.
Bai Ying's goal was very clear, and he headed straight for the study. Before coming, he had already obtained the architectural layout of the Royal Palace.
But when he stood on the branch in front of the study, he found that the room that was supposed to be dark at this time was actually brightly lit, and the figure reflected on the window screen through the firelight was tall and straight, as if he was reading something in his hand. Bai Ying narrowed his long and narrow phoenix eyes, if he guessed correctly, this person is the British King Xiao Xu.
It seemed that the timing of his arrival was not right tonight, so he was about to leave when the summer wind blew and blew a corner of his shirt, which happened to fall into the eyes of Huo Ling, who raised his head and yawned.
"Who! Come out!" Huo Ling shouted coldly!
Bai Yingxie smiled evilly, flew out, and flew towards Huo Ling, Huo Ling subconsciously resisted, but did not want that person to fold and quickly leave in the opposite direction.
Huo Ling was shocked by the softness of the man's body, and at this moment, the man had already flown several feet away, and he felt that the man seemed to be trying to tease him, and when he woke up, he immediately angered and used light work to catch up. .
And Xiao Xu, who heard the movement in the study, walked out quickly and saw that Huo Ling and others had chased out, but when he saw the direction of the chase, his expression suddenly became gloomy.
That is the direction of the inner courtyard.
The sleepy Chu Qingyan half-squinted his eyes and was about to fall asleep, but when he heard some noise outside, accompanied by the words "catching an assassin", he couldn't help frowning.
And at this moment, Xining pushed the door and came in, his face was a little flustered.
Chu Qingyan asked, "What's going on outside so noisy?"
"I heard that an assassin broke into the house, and Lord Huo Ling is searching with his guards." Xining breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master was safe and sound.
Chu Qingyan was a little surprised that someone could break in in such a well-guarded British palace, so how strong should this assassin's martial arts be
At this moment, Huo Ling's voice sounded outside the door, "Miss Chu Jiu, my subordinates are instructed to arrest the assassin, can you easily enter and search?"
When she learned that Huo Ling was waiting outside, she asked Xining to go out and answer.
Xining took orders to go out, and after a while, Huo Ling and several guards followed her.
Huo Ling nodded and saluted her, then searched the room, but to no avail, he told her to rest early and go out on her own.
Chu Qingyan was completely drowsy by the noise, so she simply sat up against the bed wall with the quilt in her arms.
Seeing Xining standing and yawning, let her go down.
When she was alone in the room, she meditated.
What did someone plan to do when they broke into the palace? Are you going to assassinate? Or steal something? She was a little confused.
As long as she entered the Houmen, this kind of thing was inevitable, but she never thought that someone would dare to attack the British Palace.
Chu Qingyan, who was contemplating, suddenly smelled a scent that did not belong to the room, with a faintly confusing floral fragrance.
He suddenly widened his pupils and immediately raised his head to meet a pair of seductive phoenix eyes.
She was about to shout when the man flicked his finger, and a bead flew over and hit her on the shoulder, and she was speechless.
When she was stunned on the spot, someone like a gecko stuck on the bed net fell down.
The white robe was swaying, drawing a graceful arc in mid-air and falling down gracefully. A pair of charming eyes looked exceptionally bright in the dark night, as if flickering with a bewitching shredded light. The peerless face is covered with veil and cannot be seen.
Chu Qingyan was a little stunned. In her memory, she had never seen such a beautiful person with no face, so she guessed that this person should be a rare beauty.
Just when she was in a daze, the other party had lightly landed on the bed and looked at her. I have to say that the phoenix eyes were lightly lined, and the charming wisps were unintentionally sprinkled.
Seeing that the other party didn't hurt her, Chu Qingyan just clicked on her dumb hole, and couldn't help but calm down first to prevent the other party from getting angry and hurting herself.
When the man in white saw her acquaintance, he first glanced at the room, and then his eyes fell on the person in front of him.
The girl holding the quilt and looking at him, although she still looks a little immature, she already shows a beautiful face. Although there is some fear in her big eyes, it can calm herself well. He glanced at her and moved quietly. body, with a sinister smile.
"If you move another inch, I don't mind cutting you an inch." The dagger in his hand suddenly appeared, and the candlelight hit the blade, reflecting a cold light.
The deliberately lowered voice has a meaning that makes people indistinguishable. Chu Qingyan bit her lip immediately. She thought that this person was not paying attention to her, so she wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but she did not want the other person's eyes to be so sharp.
At this moment, a team of guards hurried past under the window sill, and the torches blazed, and the light came in, reflecting in the eyes of the man in white, with a radiant brilliance and a different kind of temptation.
Chu Qingyan secretly said a demon in her heart.
Judging from the figure, he is not very old, at most sixteen or seventeen, but being able to enter the Royal Palace of England shows that the art master is bold, and Chu Qingyan does not dare to provoke him, after all, his own life is in his hands.
Chu Qingyan thought for a while, and couldn't help blinking at the man in white. The man in white, who was focusing on the outside, saw her eyes, and the sharp blade spinning on his two fingers paused, then turned to point at her, and chuckled softly. ,"what do you want to say?"
This whispered chuckle, although it was a little strange because of his deliberate transformation, but it was not difficult to hear his joking.
Chu Qingyan was a little annoyed, but she had to bow her head when thrown under the eaves, she raised her finger and wrote stroke by stroke on the quilt.
Even though the man in white knew that she couldn't make a fuss in his own hands, he was still attracted by the way she came up with fearless danger. He looked down and was instantly happy.
"How can you let me go?" she wrote.
Chu Qingyan raised her head and saw the other party looking at her thoughtfully, a little puzzled.
"It is rumored that the ninth miss of the Chu family doesn't know big characters. When I see it at this time, the rumors are not credible!" The other party smiled lowly, with a confusing laughter.
Chu Qingyan was startled when she heard the sound, does this person know him
At this moment, a familiar footstep sounded from far to near. She opened her eyes and raised her head. As expected, she saw that the other side narrowed his eyes and became alert, and the sharp blade was already aimed at her throat.
