Chapter 9 Fighting
That night.
The moon is dark and the wind is strong, and the night is quiet.
Shen Yue was wearing a nightgown and was constantly moving through the grass like a civet cat, looking sideways from time to time.
She was very familiar with the shadow guard's hiding place. The small stones in her hand flew out and silently tapped the sleeping holes of several people on the roof, behind the grass, next to the water tank, and among the treetops.
The shadow guards in the palace are all top-notch fighters, but she is a combination of an ancient female assassin and a modern mercenary. Compared with her, they are not even a little bit inferior.
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up uncontrollably.
Arriving in front of the study, she slowly raised her hand and gently moved up the veil covering her face, revealing only her frosty eyes.
Then, she moved lightly and slipped in.
The study was completely silent, so there must be no one there. Shen Yue took a deep breath and began to search around.
I searched every corner, including the desk, drawers, and antique shelves, but I didn't find any bundle. Could it be that Changfeng had taken the things away?
Forget it, at worst I can just go to Changfeng’s room and touch him again.
Thinking of this, she turned around and was about to leave.
At this moment, the study door suddenly opened and a cold voice came: "Who is it?"
Immediately afterwards, a slender and handsome black figure stood in front of the door.
It was not difficult to identify the person coming from his figure and the faint scent of ambergris. It was Xiao Yuheng.
He spoke in a low voice and quietly closed the door after he finished speaking, as if he didn't want to alarm the shadow guard in the distance.
Despite this, Shen Yue decided to take the initiative.
She moved like lightning, caught him off guard and used a grabbing move, reaching his throat in the blink of an eye.
But the man was faster and easily avoided her attack by tilting his body to the left.
Good job, kid!
Xiao Yuheng's actions successfully aroused Shen Yue's desire to win.
She swung her fists and attacked fiercely, her fists carrying the wind and making whistling sounds. Each punch was more powerful than the last, but each one was dodged at the last moment before reaching his body.
Not only that, the moment she retracted her fist, she suddenly felt a fierce palm wind approaching rapidly.
She was startled and turned quickly to avoid the attack. At the same time, she raised her right leg high and kicked towards the opponent.
Xiao Yuheng was obviously prepared and raised his legs to meet her attack almost at the same time.
"Bang--"
When their leg bones collided, both of them let out a hissing sound and were both shocked back.
In the dim light, Shen Yue saw that the man's underwear was loosened because of the fight, and his white chest was almost exposed, coupled with his loose satin hair, it was simply too sexy!
She swallowed inopportunely, making a gulp sound.
Then he quickly shook his head and struck him in the chest with a palm.
For the first time ever, the man did not dodge. His palm touched her skin, and the firm touch distracted Shen Yue for a moment.
The next second, the man grabbed her wrists, twisted them together, and pressed his warm body against hers.
Damn!
Men really do affect the speed of her attacks!
"Tell me! What is your purpose in coming here?" Xiao Yuheng lowered his head and said softly.
A refreshing breath blew towards her, slowly spraying between Shen Yue's nose and cheeks, making her a little dazed.
But it was only a moment before she regained consciousness, suddenly bent one leg and pushed towards his vitals.
The attack was so fierce and the means were so cruel, it seemed that they were determined to make him unable to be a man in this life.
Xiao Yuheng saw her intention and was shocked. He immediately retreated quickly. At the same time, his right palm was like a dragon emerging from the sea, suddenly hitting her left shoulder.
Two muffled groans sounded at the same time, Shen Yue felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, and the man's thigh was also hit violently, causing the corners of his mouth to twitch in pain.
The two men swayed and took a few steps back. When their eyes met again, they were both filled with coldness.
Shen Yue gritted her teeth, raised her leg and did a spinning kick.
The man raised his eyebrows and took the kick on the back. He then spun behind her and held her body tightly with one hand.
For a moment, Shen Yue stood there in a daze.
Even though there were several layers of bra cloth between her and him, she could still feel the big hands gripping her.
"...Mr. Draft!"
Shen Yue suddenly felt so ashamed and angry that she couldn't help but curse out loud.
Then, she suddenly bent her legs and kicked the desk hard, using the rebound force to crash backwards.
There was a loud "bang".
The antique display cabinet was smashed into pieces, the vases and ornaments on the shelf shattered all over the floor, and the two people fell to the ground soon after.
Xiao Yuheng felt a sharp pain in his back and quickly pushed the person in his arms away.
At the same time, messy and dense footsteps came from a distance.
"It's the prince's study, go and take a look!"
In an instant, several shadow guards entered the study with torches. They looked closely and found that there was no one else there except the prince who was slumped on the ground.
Changfeng, as the captain of the guards, was not supposed to be on duty. He arrived late and saw his master in such a miserable state. He was so scared that his face turned green and he hurriedly helped him up.
"My Lord, are you okay?"
Xiao Yuheng held his lower back and rolled his eyes at him. "What do you think?"
Changfeng choked when he heard this and dared not say anything. He just silently helped him back to the bedroom.
At this time, Zhao Si was also untied and walked into the door. The two of them fell to their knees on the ground at the same time.
"I failed to protect you properly, Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Xiao Yuheng raised his eyelids and said, "I just realized today that the shadow guards in the palace are so useless."
Zhao Si knelt on the ground, sweating profusely and trembling all over:
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! However, the shadow guards surrounding the palace haven't found any suspicious traces. I suspect that person is still in the palace. Please give me some time, and I will definitely find him!"
"Just you?" Xiao Yuheng had a blank expression on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Since that man was able to penetrate your acupoints and sneak in quietly, he can also leave quietly. You can't catch him. Go down first. Go to Changfeng tomorrow to receive twenty strokes of the cane. If he does it again, all four officials will be expelled from the palace."
Zhao Si breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, it was only twenty boards.
He replied "yes" and walked out of the room with his back bent.
"Changfeng, you get up too."
"Yes." Changfeng stood up embarrassedly, went to the drawer beside the table to get the ointment, and was about to move closer to Xiao Yuheng.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuheng frowned and moved back, "I'll do it myself."
"Oh." Changfeng then remembered that his master didn't like people to get close to him, so he had to hand over the ointment.
"Your Highness, who is this assassin? He has such extraordinary skills that even so many shadow guards guarding the palace couldn't detect him entering."
Xiao Yuheng paused as he was digging into the ointment. "Is there a possibility that he is originally from the palace?"
"Are you saying there's a traitor in the mansion? I know the Shadow Guards' abilities well. They can't possibly hurt you."
"What if he's deliberately hiding his strength? His moves are very tricky, not the same as the Shadow Guards', and his voice..."
Xiao Yuheng seemed to have thought of something, put down the medicine bottle, changed his clothes and left the room.
