The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"You are indeed... very smart." His voice had a hoarse quality. It was not deliberately lowered, but it made people feel a little depressed.
Yu Qingluo pricked up her ears carefully. Judging from the lines at the corners of the man's eyes and his voice, he concluded that this man was probably a middle-aged man in his forties.
Not a eunuch... nor a bodyguard.
Could it be that he is a killer
No, Liuli said that generally top killers will not talk nonsense with you, but will attack directly when they see the opportunity.
But at this moment, the man in front of her seemed to be looking at her with a glance. He doesn't look like a servant who follows orders, a slave...
Yu Qingluo's legs cautiously took a step back.
"Stop." The man suddenly said, his eyes sharpening for a moment. "Just take a few steps back and I'll kill both of them."
Yu Qingluo frowned, she was still not sure who this man belonged to. If it's Concubine Xiao, she probably won't attack Concubine Wan, but if it's Concubine Meng, she might actually kill her, and by the way... frame the blame on herself.
"One of them is a concubine and the other is a princess. If you take action here, the emperor of Feng Cang Kingdom will not let you go."
Yu Qingluo could only delay for a while, but she still hadn't seen Shen Ying and Qin Song appear, which meant that those two people had been blocked.
That's right, Concubine Meng is very cautious. She wouldn't be unaware that there are secret guards around her. Since she could find an excuse to keep Nanny Xiao and Hongye outside the temple, she would naturally find ways to hold back her secret guards.
But here, it happened to be a remote and clean place where not even a mouse could come. Even if she shouted, she might not be able to attract even half a person.
Therefore, she delayed her time to let Sayuri come to Nannan, whether the little guy came to make a scene, or she called other masters who came to the temple, in short, she could not follow Concubine Meng's wishes.
The man squinted his eyes, looked at her carefully, and suddenly murmured in a low voice, "I admire your calmness and wit, but it's a pity that you followed Ye Xiudu, otherwise I would be very fond of you. …”
The corners of Yu Qingluo's mouth twitched twice, what do you like? Does he like her? It couldn't be what she meant.
"Okay, that's enough gossip. I know what you want to do. But unfortunately, your idea is destined to not be realized." The man laughed and rushed towards her.
Without saying a word, Yu Qingluo immediately retreated, twisting and bending her body, and quickly avoided his first attack.
But just like that, Yu Qingluo realized that this man's martial arts was unfathomable. She is self-aware and knows that she is no match for him.
The man was stunned for a moment, and his eyes became more serious. "At first, when she told me that you had some foundation, I didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect that your foundation is really good. But... without internal strength, you are nothing. "
Yu Qingluo pursed her lips, her? Who does she mean
After the masked man finished speaking, he aimed at Yu Qingluo and attacked again. The silver needle in Yu Qingluo's hand was aimed at him and shot out. She glared at her right leg, and a thin blade suddenly appeared on the tip of her shoe.
The man narrowed his eyes, laughed, turned over, and the silver needle pierced the bamboo trunk behind him.
The bamboo trunk, which was originally green pine and green, immediately turned into a black color in the small area where the silver needle was.
The man was shocked and shook inexplicably. If those silver needles were touched by him, he would definitely see blood and seal his throat.
In this case, this woman... cannot be underestimated, and it is even more necessary to get rid of her! !
He attacked Yu Qingluo for the third time. At some point, Yu Qingluo had a dagger in his hand, cutting iron like clay and shining with golden light.
The man's several consecutive attacks failed to hurt Yu Qingluo at all, and his eyes became even colder.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. With a little tip of the toes, the body suddenly rose up.
Yu Qingluo was startled and raised her head with a frown.
But the sunshine today was extremely strong, and she was forced to retreat to an unshaded place by the masked man. When she raised her head, the sun glared so hard that she couldn't open her eyes.
But with the wind whistling in her ears, Yu Qingluo quickly took a few steps back, trying to get to the shadows.
However, no matter how fast she reacts and how agile she is. But compared to the masked man, it's still a little worse.
When she took a few steps to retreat, the man above her head had already followed closely. He pushed out his right palm and hit Yu Qingluo on the back.
"Pfft..." Yu Qingluo felt a sharp pain on her back, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
She rushed forward a few steps, keeping a certain distance from the man. He reached out and wiped a mouthful of blood vigorously, then leaned against the wall to rest.
"I said, having no internal strength is your biggest weakness." Seeing that she was injured, the man seemed to feel much more relaxed between his brows and eyes, staring at Yu Qingluo and smiling.
Yu Qingluo twitched the corners of her lips and said, "Yes, that is indeed my biggest weakness. But do you know... ahem, what is your biggest weakness?"
The masked man paused as he walked forward, narrowed his eyes and asked her, "Oh? What is it?"
"Cough." Yu Qingluo coughed hard twice and smiled, "I don't know my opponent well enough."
"Does this opponent refer to you? Do you think... you can be called my opponent?" The man dismissed it.
Yu Qingluo shook her head, "Yeah, I'm not your opponent."
Damn it, he used a very deep force in that palm, and her shoulder was in burning pain, and the bones seemed to be cracked. This man wants to kill her? No, if you kill her, how can you use her to deal with Concubine Xiao
Yu Qingluo's hands had already touched the clothes behind her, and she took out two silver needles without leaving any trace.
Seeing the masked man walking towards her again, her hand flew forward quickly.
The man's pupils shrank and he narrowly avoided it. But there was still a string of bloodshot eyes on his face.
Yu Qingluo couldn't help but feel a pity that there was no poison on the silver needle, otherwise even if it scratched the skin, it would be enough for him to bear.
"It seems that you are restless even if you are injured." The masked man wiped his face violently, sneered twice, and suddenly aimed at Yu Qingluo's head and chopped it off.
However, just as he took a few steps forward, just when Yu Qingluo was ready to attack and seize the opportunity to kill him with one blow, a deep voice suddenly came from behind, "Stop."
The man was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and he was unwilling to give in. In the end, he took two steps back as if nothing had happened, walked to the person's side, and stared at Yu Qingluo gloomily.
Yu Qingluo's pupils shrank, then she sneered, closed her eyes slightly, and stood up straight.
