Suddenly something seemed to flash in the air!
Before she even cut the knife, a wonderful fragrance reached Zheng Xueyi's nose.
It was as if an invisible hand suddenly grabbed Zheng Xueyi's vulnerable mental spot. Her body suddenly softened, and the hand holding the dagger trembled and she collapsed to the ground!
Everything happens in just a moment!
Lights began to appear all around, and the women who should have been frightened and panicked walked over with torches in their hands and expressionless faces.
The yard was brightly lit. Leiman had sat back in the rocking chair without anyone noticing. He supported his face with his hands and looked down at Zheng Xueyi who had been pressed to the ground, his smile deepening.
A round ceramic container emerged from his chest. There were many holes on the ceramic, and this greasy fragrance came out from the holes.
"woman?"
Leiman bent down, grabbed Zheng Xueyi's lower hand, took off her mask and looked at her.
"Who sent you?"
Zheng Xueyi turned her head to break free from his grip, but she stared fiercely at Leiman and bit her lips tightly.
"The person who sent you is still too young."
Seeing Zheng Xueyi silent, Leiman was neither anxious nor annoyed. He smiled, like a poisonous snake in the dark night.
"I knew you were there the moment you stepped into my yard."
"There are at least a hundred of us, the royal family of the Western Regions. How do you think I stood out from all of them and became the prince?"
"Innocent."
He sneered, and Zheng Xueyi's face became darker.
As expected, they were rivals in love. Gu Qingsheng’s worries were not wrong at all.
Now the situation is completely passive.
Zheng Xueyi was a little hesitant. There was actually a life-saving talisman given to her by Gu Qingsheng on her restrained wrist.
A kind of Gu hidden in the blood of the wrist.
Normally, this poisonous insect is silent and no one can sense it.
However, if you encounter danger, the insect can activate and save your life.
Now it was Lei Man's turn, and the only outcome for her was death. However, if she activated the insect, Lei Man would definitely know her identity and the fact that she was sent by Gu Qingsheng.
what to do?
Zheng Xueyi's hands, which were tied behind her back, began to clench tightly and her eyes looked dark and unclear.
Escape? Or die with the mission?
This thought only lasted for a moment.
She raised her head and looked directly into Lehman's eyes.
"The barbarians of the Western Regions are rude and treacherous, secretly plotting to offend Jin and Chu."
"I came here alone. If I succeed, it will be a great success. If I fail, I will lose my life. No need to ask any questions. You can kill me or chop me up as you wish."
After saying that, he raised his head, as if he didn't care at all.
This means that he is determined not to tell anything, but Leiman is a gloomy and vicious person, and he naturally doesn't like trouble.
He hadn't seen many Jinchu gangsters like Zheng Xueyi, but he knew that each of them was a tough nut to crack, and it would probably not be easy to get anything out of them.
I felt a little bored and waved my hands casually.
"In that case, then kill him."
A woman next to her immediately touched her waist, and a dagger appeared in her hand.
Only then did Zheng Xueyi realize that the gentle scene in her dream was actually full of murderous intent.
These women who were so affectionate with Rayman were actually all deadpools trained in the Western Regions. They hid their identities so deeply that even they were deceived.
"Yes, Prince."
The woman's words were cold, and the murderous look in her eyes grew thicker.
Zheng Xueyi's whole body was tied up, and the only part she could move was her eyes.
She was not afraid at all that the woman was walking towards her with a dagger in her hand, her eyes were burning as if there was a flame in them.
Even if she died like this, there would be no need to worry about the village. In fact, there was nothing to be nostalgic about.
What a pity.
What appeared before my eyes was that dazzling smile.
Zheng Xueyi sighed softly, closed her eyes, and waited for the woman to raise her knife and strike.
Some relationships are probably just a taste.
I could hear the woman's footsteps approaching, and the sound of her hands rubbing against her clothes was so obvious in the night.
Leiman lay in the rocking chair, seeming to enjoy the scene very much.
The sword blade was icy cold and the chill was about to approach her. When the sense of death came, Zheng Xueyi was surprisingly calm.
Her breathing stopped, and she raised her eyes, watching the dagger falling towards her.
“Zheng——”
The sound of trembling swords rang in Zheng Xueyi's ears. She opened her eyes wide and watched the sword in the woman's hand being shaken out and falling to the ground in front of her. A familiar voice came from behind her.
"Oh, it's such a beautiful moonlight. Don't be so irritable, Your Highness."
Before Zheng Xueyi turned her head, a faint and elegant fragrance came to her.
Yan Lu passed by Zheng Xueyi, winked at her, looked her up and down, and clicked his tongue twice.
"How did you end up like this when I asked you to buy salt? You really can't do anything right."
The frivolous and complaining tone made Zheng Xueyi think for a moment that the two of them were leisurely enjoying singing and dancing in the pavilion.
Wait, buy salt?
What to buy salt.
"Is it you?"
She said in surprise, looking at Yan Hui, not quite believing why he appeared here.
"You're still so stubborn now. Do you know that you've gotten into trouble?"
Yan Hui gently opened his folding fan and turned to look at Leiman without bowing.
"prince."
Lei Man looked at Yan Hui, his eyes changed from surprise to amusement, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
"This is a rare visitor."
"What's the matter with you coming to my place so late at night, Master Yan?"
The two seemed to be acquaintances, but their conversation seemed to be filled with the smoke of war and a strong anger.
The last time I saw Yan Hui, he was with Xu Qingyi, and now he is acquainted with the prince of the Western Regions. Can this be understood?
Xu Qingyi and Leiman also have some connection?
Zheng Xueyi became nervous and watched every move of the two people in front of her.
"Nothing much."
Yan Hui came to Zheng Xueyi with a smile
"I just recently arrived in Jinchu and don't know the roads here very well. Today, the cook ran out of salt while cooking, so I thought of sending someone to buy some."
He tapped the folding fan lightly in his hand, raised his eyes to Zheng Xueyi beside him, and instantly put on an angry look.
"How did you buy salt in the prince's mansion? Aren't you really looking for trouble? You must apologize to Prince Leiman later."
He untied the rope on Zheng Xueyi without paying attention to the others. The woman beside him hesitated and stepped forward to stop Yan Hui, but Leiman smiled and raised his chin to signal
"It's alright, let Master Yan untie it. I'd really like to know why Master Yan's servant came out to buy salt wearing night clothes, holding a dagger, and intending to do something bad to me?"
One could clearly feel that Yan Hui's hands froze as he was untying Zheng Xueyi's rope.
