Zhan Wangfu, Xuelan's residence.
Xuanyuan Mo looked at the gradually rounding moon outside the window, feeling inexplicably irritable in his heart, always feeling that something was going to happen.
Suddenly his waist tightened, and he felt a soft body coming up from behind. When he turned to see those worried purple eyes, Xuanyuan Mo's heart trembled slightly, and he turned around and hugged her tightly.
Feeling Xuanyuan Mo's fragility, Duanmu Xi tightened her hand around his waist, raised her purple eyes and looked at him seriously and said seriously, "Axue, it's okay, I will always be with you."
Tomorrow is the night of the full moon, and she will never leave him. No matter whether it can alleviate his pain or not, she will stay with him.
Looking at those affectionate purple eyes, the inexplicable irritability in Xuanyuan Mo's heart gradually disappeared.
He bent down and covered Duanmu Xi's red lips, kissing her gently and intently, silently expressing his deep feelings.
Duan Muxi slowly closed her eyes and kissed back with the same tenderness and concentration. The two of them kissed in a lingering and selfless way, as if there was nothing else in the world except each other.
Suddenly, Xuanyuan Mo's eyes flashed, and he directly hugged Duan Muxi behind him, looking at the empty room warily.
At this time, Duanmu Xi also felt the abnormal fluctuations in the air. Her dark purple eyes narrowed slightly. She stretched out her little hand and with a thought, a dagger with a cold light appeared in her hand.
In just a few breaths, there were many more masked people in black clothes in the room.
As soon as those masked men in black appeared, they raised their swords to kill them.
A cold light flashed in Xuanyuan Mo's amber eyes. The full moon night has not yet arrived, and these people can't wait.
"The Sky-Slaying Sword!"
Following Xuanyuan Mo's call, a sky-blue giant sword appeared out of the sky.
As soon as the Sky-Slaying Sword was released, all the masked men in black showed panic in their eyes. They all looked at each other, and finally put their eyes on Duan Muxi who was behind Xuanyuan Mo.
As if aware of the man in black's intention, Xuanyuan Mo's amber eyes flashed with bloodlust. These people deserve to die.
The masked men in black abandoned Xuanyuan Mo who was holding the Sky-Slaying Sword and rushed towards Duan Muxi together.
Xuanyuan Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head slightly and said to Duanmu Xi behind him, "Be careful."
The giant swords in his hands were swept away at the same time, and a sky-blue sword energy spread forward in a fan shape. Wherever the sword energy passed, a masked man in black lay down.
When the masked men in black saw the corpses of their companions on the ground, their eyes widened in fear. What a powerful force!
Suddenly I felt lucky that they were doing the assassination in a room. The room was small and the power of the giant sword couldn't be unleashed. If they were outside, they probably wouldn't be able to get back alive today. Thinking about the mission given to them by their master, the masked man in black had no choice but to step forward again.
This time they didn't all concentrate in front, but spread out and stabbed towards Duanmu Xi from all directions.
Seeing the new strategy of the masked man in black, Xuanyuan Mo no longer let Duan Muxi behind him, but held Duanmuxi to his side. He has no eyes behind him, so he can keep her by his side so that he can always pay attention to her safety and ensure that she is safe. He must never let her get hurt again.
Duan Muxi held a dagger and looked at the masked men in black around her with a pair of purple eyes. She was unable to use mystical power now, and her spiritual skills were not suitable for close attacks. The cultivation levels of these men in black are not low. She must stay by Xuanyuan Mo's side peacefully and must not become a burden to him.
As Xuanyuan Mo continued to wave the Heaven-Slaying Sword in his hand, there were more and more corpses on the ground.
When the leading man in black clothes and masked face saw this, his black eyes flashed slightly, his face under the black scarf showed a solemn expression, and he disappeared from the room in a flash.
Xuanyuan Mo, who was focused on protecting Duan Muxi, didn't notice the disappearing masked man in black.
Suddenly, a long sword with a cold light appeared behind Duanmu Xi. It was the masked man in black, standing behind Duan Muxi.
As if feeling something, Xuanyuan Mo turned around suddenly, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw the long sword thrust towards Duanmu Xi. Subconsciously, he reached out and grasped the long sword. The red blood flowed along the tip of the sword and covered the entire sword body.
When the masked man in black saw this, a strange smile appeared on his lips.
"Axue..." Duanmuxi exclaimed.
Looking at Xuanyuan Mo's hand dripping with blood, Duan Muxi's eyes instantly turned red. He raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed the heart of the masked man in black.
Duan Muxi was so fast that the masked man in black had no time to react. He only felt a pain in his chest and looked down to see a dagger stuck in his heart. He raised his left hand to attack Duan Muxi, but was knocked away by a powerful force that shattered his internal organs.
"Pfft..." The masked man in black vomited a mouthful of blood. Even though he thought he was about to die, he still firmly held the long sword in his hand, endured the severe pain in his body, and held the sword in his hand. The sword was thrown to another masked man in black. After doing all this, the masked man in black finally couldn't hold on anymore and died.
The masked man in black who received the sword disappeared from the room immediately after receiving the sword.
Several other masked men in black also wanted to run away when they saw this, but they were all killed by Xuanyuan Mo's sword.
"Axue, your hand..." Duan Muxi held up Xuanyuan Mo's injured left hand distressedly.
"It's okay, just a little skin injury." Xuanyuan Mo didn't even frown, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.
Duan Muxi took out a pill from the storage ring and put it to Xuanyuan Mo's lips. Xuanyuan Mo obediently took it. Duanmuxi took out the blood stopper and spread it on his wound.
"Axue, don't you think it's strange?" Duan Muxi said while helping Xuanyuan Mo bandage his wound.
Xuanyuan Mo frowned, "Are you talking about the secret guards and my father's tiger guards?"
Duan Muxi nodded and said, "Yes, we have been fighting in the room for so long, and there was such a big movement, but Long Yue and Feng Wu didn't even show up. This is so strange!"
What's more, the housekeeper A Xue doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. Others may not hear the sound, but he will never fail to hear it. Even he didn't show up, something must have happened in the palace.
Xuanyuan Mo frowned and said, "Go out and take a look."
The two of them left Xuelan Residence together. The entire palace was very quiet, as if there was no trace of popularity.
Suddenly a man in black appeared in front of the two of them, looked at them anxiously and said, "Your Highness, Prince, are you okay?"
The person who came was none other than Long Yue, Duan Muxi's personal secret guard.
Duanmuxi shook his head, looked at Long Yue and asked, "Where's Feng Wu, where were you just now?"
After hearing this, Long Yue immediately replied respectfully, "Feng Wu has been hit by the soul-fixing curse. Not only Feng Wu, but everyone in the palace has also been hit by the soul-fixing curse. His subordinates also broke through it just now."
When Duan Muxi and Xuanyuan Mo heard this, their faces showed solemn expressions at the same time.
Duanmu Xi took out a pill from the storage ring and threw it to Long Yue, forcing him to break the soul-fixing curse. He must have suffered internal injuries.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Long Yue took the elixir and swallowed it in one gulp. Only then did she feel that the blood that had been boiling inside had calmed down.
After watching Long Yue take the pill, Duanmu Xi said, "Who cast the soul-fixing spell on you?"
"I don't know." Long Yue frowned and thought for a while before adding, "But before I was cast into the soul-fixing curse, I heard the sound of the flute."
The sound of the flute? Soul-fixing spell? Could it be the third master? No, it can never be the third master. Maybe he was someone from the same place as the Third Master. When she had the opportunity, she would definitely ask where the Third Master came from.
He took out Bingyou from the crystal ball and put it to his lips. A soft and melodious flute sound resounded over the entire Prince Zhan's Mansion.
Following the wonderful sound of the flute, the waiters and guards in Prince Zhan's Mansion slowly came to their senses.
Xuanyuan Lie learned that Xuanyuan Mo and Duan Muxi had been assassinated, and immediately rushed to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
"Father?" Xuanyuan Mo was a little surprised to see Xuanyuan Lie, and then thought that it must be the tiger guard sent by his father to report to him.
Seeing Xuanyuan Mo's left hand wrapped in gauze, Xuanyuan Lie's heart sank suddenly. He gently took Xuanyuan Mo's hand and looked at it while asking, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Xuanyuan Mo looked at Xuanyuan Lie's anxious look, his eyes flashed slightly, and he gently pulled out his hand and said, "I'm fine, it's just a skin injury. It was Xi'er who made a fuss out of it and made it look like this."
Xuanyuan Lie felt a little relieved after hearing this, and raised his eyes to look at Duan Muxi beside Xuanyuan Mo.
Upon seeing this, Duanmu Xi immediately leaned slightly towards Xuanyuan Lie and said, "Greetings to the Lord."
Xuanyuan Lie raised his hand and said, "The Suzaku Princess is exempt from courtesy."
After greeting Duan Muxi, Xuanyuan Lie looked at Xuanyuan Mo and asked, "Is the assassin still alive?"
Xuanyuan Mo shook his head when he heard this and said, "No, they are all dead. One of them ran away."
Xuanyuan Lie's lips twitched, knowing that this would be the case, "Are there any identification items on those corpses?"
"No, my subordinates have all searched and found nothing." This time it was not Xuanyuan Mo who answered but Yu Ying behind Xuanyuan Mo.
Xuanyuan Lie frowned and pondered for a moment, then said to Xuanyuan Mo, "Mo'er, it's not safe in Prince Zhan's Palace. You and Princess Suzaku should live in the palace!"
Xuanyuan Mo refused directly without thinking, "No, the palace is even more unsafe."
He used to be alone, but now that Xi'er is by his side, he must consider her safety.
Xuanyuan Lie touched his nose in embarrassment when he heard this. How could he forget that it was because it was not safe in the palace that he let him leave the palace to build a mansion. But this brat is too direct. Can't he refuse politely
Seeing Yu Ying and Yu Feng standing behind Xuanyuan Mo, Xuanyuan Lie said in a stern voice, "Tomorrow is the night of the full moon. You must guard the Zhanwang Mansion these two days. I don't want something like this to happen again today."
"Yes, I swear to protect Prince Zhan to the death."
Xuanyuan Lie's words made Yu Ying and Yu Feng feel a little guilty. They knew that they had neglected their duties today, but there would never be a next time.
In Yonghe Palace, Xia Houshan took the jade bottle handed over by Zhou Manyun with slightly trembling hands, and said excitedly, "Is this really Xuanyuan Mo's blood?"
Zhou Manyun frowned slightly, "You don't believe me."
Feeling the displeasure in Zhou Manyun's words, Xia Houshan immediately said, "No, I believe you. But, why do you want to help me?"
This was a question she had never been able to figure out. It must have taken a lot of effort to get Xuanyuan Mo's blood. She was not related to her and had no business dealings with her. She didn't understand why she wanted to help her like this
Zhou Manyun raised the corners of his lips slightly when he heard this, "I naturally have my reasons, you don't need to ask any more!"
Although Xia Houshan was not satisfied that this answer meant that she did not get the answer, she did not want to offend Zhou Manyun because of this trivial matter, so she just nodded and said that she would not ask again.
Seeing Xia Houshan carefully put away the jade bottle, Zhou Manyun's charming phoenix eyes flashed with a faint light, "Remember, tomorrow night is when Xuanyuan Mo is most vulnerable, and it is also the best time for you to cast a poison. Don't miss it." Already."
When Xia Houshan heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, I will definitely cast the poison when the moon is full." She would never miss this best opportunity.
An evil smile appeared on Zhou Manyun's lips when she heard this. Everything was going according to the script she wrote, and this wonderful show was about to be staged.
