Chapter 108 Shengsheng dreamed of him?
Xie Yan's slender fingertips gently lifted the half-closed brocade curtain, and his eyes fell on Ruan Yunsheng's face without blinking, with a thick and unmeltable fascination surging in his eyes.
"Xie Yan... bastard..."
Vague mumblings escaped Ruan Yunsheng's lips. Xie Yan's shoulders stiffened imperceptibly for a moment, and then he smiled softly, a sour and soft warmth spreading across his chest.
I was still thinking about scolding him when I fell asleep. It seems that I really dreamed about him.
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he sat down on the edge of the bed involuntarily, slowly leaning closer.
The tip of his nose brushed against hers faintly, their warm breaths entwined together.
He lowered his voice very low, as if afraid of disturbing the dream: "Shengsheng, why is Xie Yan an asshole?"
Ruan Yunsheng seemed to feel an itch on the tip of her nose. She turned over impatiently in her sleep, her long black hair brushing against the pillow as she muttered, "Give...this princess wait..."
The smile in Xie Yan's eyes deepened. Just as he was about to move closer to hear her say a few more words, a very light and strange sound suddenly came from outside the yard!
His eyes suddenly became cold, the tenderness just now disappeared in an instant, and the aura around him became cold.
He casually put on the silver mask beside his pillow, then stood up silently and flashed out of the room like a dark shadow. The curtain slowly fell behind him, once again covering the peaceful sleeping face on the bed.
Outside Yuehua Courtyard.
Bone Crow received the secret signal from Night Owl and learned that the secret guards had indeed evacuated the Marquis' Mansion, so they began to act at night.
After entering the Marquis' Mansion, he easily avoided the patrolling guards and walked along the courtyard wall to the vicinity of Yuehua Courtyard.
Unexpectedly, when Yuehuayuan was right in front of him, he found a person standing in front of him, blocking his way!
Xie Yan stood on the opposite roof, dressed in a dark suit, and his silver mask reflected a cold light, hiding the coldness in his eyes.
Bone Crow frowned and cursed inwardly: How does this damn kid Night Owl do his job?
Didn’t they send a signal saying that the secret guards had already withdrawn?
However, the man in front of him was not dressed like the secret guard he met last time.
Could it be that he also came to the Marquis's Mansion to assassinate him?
Gu Ya did not want to alert the guards of the Marquis' Mansion. Although he thought those guards' martial arts were vulnerable, there were many people in the Marquis' Mansion after all, and it would be inconvenient to take action if there was a commotion. If the government was alerted, it would be even more troublesome.
Bone Crow lowered his voice: "Who are you? If you don't want to die, don't block my way. Get out of the way!"
Xie Yan's voice was hoarse, the voice of "Chuwu".
"Are you Night Owl?"
The Bone Crow grinned sinisterly, revealing its yellow and black teeth: "Since you know my name, you still dare to block my way? If you know what's good for you, get out of the way, otherwise -"
He flipped his wrist, and three bone-piercing nails filled with deadly poison silently shot towards Xie Yan's heart. "Don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"That depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Xie Yan pointed his toes, calmly avoided the hidden weapon, and took the opportunity to draw his sword.
Bone Crow immediately swung his sword to block, deliberately dampening the crisp sound of the iron blades clashing, transforming it into a dull hum. The two men grappled on the sloping rooftop, their figures flitting back and forth like ghosts.
Bone Crow was afraid of alerting the guards, while Xie Yan did not want to disturb Ruan Yunsheng's sweet dream, so both of them deliberately lowered their voices while fighting.
When stepping on the tiles, they use skill to relieve the force, and even the slight sound of the tiles rubbing against each other is reduced to a minimum.
From time to time, the Bone Crow's left hand would shoot out poisonous needles as thin as cow hair, but Xie Yan would accurately knock them away with his scabbard. The silver needles fell into the grass in the corner of the wall without making any sound.
"Looking for death!" Bone Crow was entangled and became furious. The knife moves became more and more fierce, but he still gritted his teeth and lowered his voice.
Xie Yan's lips curled coldly under the mask, and his sword moves became faster and faster.
When the tip of the sword brushed past the bone crow's ear, a strand of broken hair flew into the night sky!
At the same time, in the guest room.
Although the candle in Pei Jinghong's room had been extinguished long ago, he had not actually slept at all and had been secretly staring at Axiao's room.
Qing He yawned, "Master, it's already late at night, and there's been no movement in that kid's room. He must have gone to bed a long time ago."
Pei Jinghong whispered, "It's better to be cautious. You go to sleep first, I'll continue to keep an eye on him."
As he was speaking, Pei Jinghong's expression suddenly changed, "No, there seems to be a sound of fighting outside!"
Qinghe shuddered, and her sleepiness was instantly scared away.
"But Ah Xiao has been in the room all the time and hasn't gone out."
Pei Jinghong immediately walked to Ah Xiao's room, kicked the door open, but found that the room was empty!
Qing He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "Where's he? I didn't see him leave the house!"
Pei Jinghong said quickly: "You immediately find the guards to search for Ah Xiao, I'll go to Yuehua Courtyard to check!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately picked up his sword and ran towards Yuehuayuan.
Bone Crow originally did not take Xie Yan seriously, but after a few rounds, he found that he was no match for Xie Yan at all!
Although the two men tried to suppress the sound of their fight, it still attracted the guards of the Marquis' Mansion. However, Gu Ya could no longer care about these things. He was injured in many places and it would be too late if he didn't run away!
Although General Sun issued a death order this time, either Ruan Yunsheng must be killed or he must not return alive.
But in the end, your own life is the most important!
Moreover, he saw the thin figure of Ye Xiao out of the corner of his eye, sneaking into Yuehua Courtyard while they were fighting!
Therefore, his mission tonight may not necessarily fail.
When Pei Jinghong arrived, a dozen guards were standing under the courtyard wall watching the battle.
Pei Jinghong asked anxiously, "Why don't you take action?"
The leading guard looked embarrassed: "Master Pei, it's not that I don't want to help, I just don't know who to help."
The old man with ruthless moves didn't look like a good guy at first glance, but at the same time, they didn't know "Chuwu".
Pei Jinghong asked again: "Has anyone seen Ah Xiao?"
The guards all shook their heads, "I didn't see it..."
Pei Jinghong's face turned grim, and he immediately ordered, "A few of you go to the Third Young Master's courtyard, and a few of you go to the Princess's courtyard! We must catch that brat!"
On the eaves, the Bone Crow suddenly made a feint, and without caring about the life or death of the Night Owl, it turned around and flew to the other side of the roof, trying to take the opportunity to escape.
Who knew that just as my toes touched the eaves, I felt a sudden chill on my back!
Xie Yan's long sword was following him like a shadow, piercing his heart from behind!
"puff--"
Blood splattered on the green tiles. The bone crow's body stiffened and it fell from the roof, landing heavily at Pei Jinghong's feet.
The guard immediately drew his sword and placed it on Bone Crow's neck, "Don't move!"
At this time, the other two guards also knocked on the gate of Yuehua Courtyard.
Seeing Zhishu open the gate, the guard hurriedly said, "Miss Zhishu, Ah Xiao is missing. Our cousin asked us to come and see if Yuehua Courtyard is okay."
Zhishu pointed at Ah Xiao, who was lying motionless on the steps, and said, "Over there."
The doors and windows of Yuehuayuan were fumigated with poison again, and any assassin who touched them would be poisoned immediately.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Xie Yan's eyes. He had suffered a loss before, so after that he would not touch the doors and windows when entering or leaving Yuehua Courtyard.
Obviously that 'Ah Xiao' didn't know.
