Before he could finish saying the word "sister", Chu Huaize felt a chill on his neck and suddenly lowered his head.
He saw a dagger flashing with cold light across his neck. Because he lowered his head, the sharp dagger accidentally scratched his delicate skin.
The moment the stinging sensation came, he also saw a trickle of blood sliding down the blade.
His pupils suddenly shrank as he realized that there was an assassin attacking the palace. Chu Huaize's first reaction was to raise his head and shout at Li Shengyi.
"Sister, run!"
How did you get away?
When Chu Huaize saw several unfamiliar figures appearing behind Li Shengyi, his heart suddenly sank.
Ming Yue had already been wrestling with the assassin behind him.
Hearing the harsh sound of weapons colliding, Chu Huaize frowned and continued to shout at Li Shengyi.
"Sister, go ahead and call someone. I'm the prince, they don't dare do anything to me!"
However, just as he finished speaking, the assassin who was holding him suddenly tightened the dagger in his hand.
Feeling the dull pain in his neck worsen, he couldn't help swallowing.
Even so, he did not cry out in pain, but insisted that Li Shengyi leave first and go find someone to come.
Li Shengyi naturally saw the blood flowing from Chu Huaize's neck.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at the man in black standing behind Chu Huaize, "What do you want?"
It was too late to run now.
Not long ago, when Chu Huaize was yelling like that, no palace servants came. These men in black must have been waiting here for a long time and had made all the necessary preparations.
If she turned around and ran to call for help at this time, it would be unknown whether Chu Huaize would be alive or dead in the future.
She tightened her hands hidden under her sleeves and looked coldly at the men in black who had surrounded her in a few breaths. She said with understanding, "Your target is me."
"In that case, the twelfth prince is an innocent man, so let him go."
I didn't expect that Li Shengyi, a child, could remain calm and negotiate with so many assassins.
The assassin standing face to face with her scoffed lightly. Beneath the black cloth, the corners of his lips curled up in a disdainful sneer. "Miss Shengyi, you're joking. The Twelfth Prince witnessed everything. How could he escape?"
"My master would like to invite Miss Shengyi to have a cup of tea together. I wonder if Miss Shengyi would be so kind as to do me the honor..."
Li Shengyi glanced at him and said, "Whether I go or not, haven't you already made the choice for me?"
"No matter what I choose, you're going to take me away, right?"
The assassin chuckled, "Miss Shengyi is very intelligent. No wonder the master is obsessed with you."
"Then I apologize for my impoliteness. I hope Miss Shengyi can behave herself to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"After all, in our opinion, the Twelfth Prince is not an important character. Whether he lives or dies depends entirely on Miss Shengyi's decision."
This is threatening her with Chu Huaize's life.
Li Shengyi was carried on the assassin's shoulders, her lower abdomen pressed against his shoulder. Just as he was about to take her away, she suddenly raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Excuse me, wait a moment."
The assassin paused as he was about to perform his Qing Gong move. When he spoke again, his tone was clearly hostile, "Miss Shengyi, do you have any other instructions?"
Li Shengyi leaned on his shoulder and looked up at Ming Yue who was still fighting with other men in black.
Seeing that Mingyue's two fists were no match for more than a dozen hands, and that his body had several knife wounds, she raised her hand and beckoned to him, "Uncle Mingyue, don't fight with them, they are just bullying."
"I'm just going to have a cup of tea with the Second Prince. You don't have to worry too much, and don't tell Father where I went."
"Remember to send some fruit to my second father later, and then tell them that I will be staying with the Twelfth Prince for a while, so they don't have to worry."
Having said so much, Li Shengyi no longer looked at the expression on Mingyue's face. Instead, he turned his head to look at the assassin who was carrying him, "Brother, you are quite a nice person."
"I've rambled on so much, and you have no opinion."
The assassin listened to her flattery, his eyes twitching as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Stop talking nonsense. Are you done? Let's go."
Just as he was about to perform Qing Gong again, Li Shengyi patted his shoulder again and said, "I haven't finished yet, big brother, please be a good person and stop the bleeding for the twelfth prince."
"You also know that my father is Qin Songmo. He will be able to find me without any effort when the time comes."
"I'm a protective person. If the Twelfth Prince dies at the hands of you or your master, I won't let you off easy either."
The assassin frowned, his face showing impatience. "How do you know that the one who kidnapped you is definitely the Second Prince?"
Li Shengyi spread his hands and said, "Who else could it be? It can't be the old Wang next door, right?"
"Oh, by the way, please don't carry me like this. The road is too bumpy. I'm still young and my body is very fragile. If anything happens to me..."
The assassin has been in the martial arts world for so many years, and he has never seen anyone who dares to negotiate with him.
Not to mention that the other person is just a five-year-old child.
He pursed his lips tightly, thinking of his master's instructions before he came. He could only suppress the anger in his heart and hugged the person lying on his shoulder horizontally in his arms.
Li Shengyi, who finally felt better, saw Chu Huaize being treated with medicine not far away.
She heaved a sigh of relief and patted the man on the shoulder. "Alright, let's get going."
assassin:......
Not as calm as Li Shengyi.
Chu Huaize was still young after all, and after the wound on his neck was hastily applied with medicine, the assassin who was holding him saw that he was crying all the time, so he covered his mouth with his hands and kept doing so all the way.
Ming Yue, who was trapped by several assassins, could only watch his young lady being taken away after being slapped by one of the assassins and spitting blood.
Thinking of what his young lady said before she left, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, gritted his teeth, fought his way out of the encirclement, and headed straight towards the sky prison.
When the assassins who were chasing him saw him running towards the Heavenly Prison, they gave up the idea of chasing him and turned around to use their lightness skills to leave the palace.
-
The wind whistled in my ears.
Li Shengyi reached out to straighten his shirt, his teeth chattering with cold. "Brother, when can we get there? It's too cold."
Her cloak was still in Mingyue's hand. Damn it! She had already put on the cloak before going out.
You won’t be frozen into a stupid dog now.
The assassin did not answer, but quickened his pace. A quarter of an hour later, they finally landed in the backyard of a mansion.
The moment he landed, Li Shengyi also breathed a sigh of relief, "Are we there? Your master's mansion is quite luxurious."
After looking around, her peripheral vision lingered on a dog hole not far away for a moment, and then she shifted her gaze to other places.
She was so noisy all the way that she didn't stop talking even after she landed.
The assassin returned to the mansion and finally lost his patience, "Shut up!"
Li Shengyi immediately made a zippering motion.
He who knows the times is a hero.
She is the best!
The noisy sounds disappeared from her ears, and the assassin carried her into one of the rooms.
