The World is Shocked 125. Waiting for You to Enter the Trap

Late at night, the Dingguo Palace was completely silent. In the study, Ye Li sat under the lamp and looked back at Feng Zhiyao who was sitting not far away. "Feng San, are you sure it's tonight?"

Feng Zhiyao waved his folding fan leisurely, his smile made people feel like being bathed in spring breeze, but his words made people shudder, "Princess, don't worry. The capital is so small, if they don't take action tonight, they will have no chance. Tonight, the enemy's blood must be dyed red throughout the Dingwang Mansion. Haha... This is a beautiful and fascinating color. It's so beautiful in the capital.

It has not been so lively for many years." With so many natural disasters happening one after another, if the secret guards of Prince Dingguo's Palace cannot find them, then the world will think that the secret guards of Prince Dingguo's Palace are useless.

Ye Li nodded, "That's the best. Then we'd better wait for their driver."

Mo Hua looked at Ye Li, who was calm and composed, with a complicated look in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Princess and Lord Xu, should you go to a safe place to hide first? There are many top masters among the people coming tonight. What if something unexpected happens..." Ye Li turned her head to look at Xu Hongyan, who was sitting aside and drinking tea calmly, and frowned with some worry. He was not familiar with his uncle's personality.

She also understood that he would never leave if she didn't leave. But it was impossible for her to leave now... Seeing her embarrassed look, Xu Hongyan put down the teacup and said, "Just do your own thing. I'll just sit here for a while and drink two cups of tea." Understanding what her uncle meant, Ye Li nodded and smiled, "Since that's the case,

So, Li'er, play two rounds of chess with your uncle."

Xu Hongyan nodded, and looked at his niece's calm expression with satisfaction. One must be well-governed in one's position. Since Ye Li married into the Dingguo Palace and became the Dingguo Princess, her fate was tied to the Dingguo Prince. It was also destined that she would not be able to live a peaceful life. In this case, both Xu Hongyan and the Xu family hoped that Ye Li would be as strong as possible.

If she were like her mother, no matter how talented she was, it would be in vain if she couldn't survive in this world.

Until midnight, the palace was still silent. Ye Li and Xu Hongyan had played three games of chess, and it seemed that they were going to tie with one win and one loss. The two were so close to each other that even Feng Zhiyao and Mo Zongguan, who were sitting on the side, could not help but come over to watch the game. Feng Zhiyao also commented and gave advice from time to time. Ye Li turned around and looked at him with a smile and said, "Mr. Feng San

, A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word." Feng Zhiyao touched his nose, "This young master is helping you." Ye Li rolled his eyes silently, you are disturbing my train of thought.

There was a very faint sound from far away, and the chess piece in Ye Li's hand paused slightly. Feng Zhiyao and others also looked stunned. Although Xu Hongyan did not hear anything, he also obviously noticed the change in everyone's expression. He put down the chess piece with a faint smile and said, "Let's stop here today. Li'er's chess skills have improved greatly in the past year." Ye Li put down a chess piece with a smile.

He said, "It's okay. It won't be too late to finish this game. Mo Hua, go out and take a look." Mo Hua nodded silently, turned around and pushed the door open to go out.

By the time they finished their words, the sounds of fighting outside were getting closer. Ye Li waved his hand and asked Qing Luan, who was waiting on the side, to put away the chessboard. He stood up and walked to the window, opened it and looked out. The courtyard was still peaceful and shrouded in the light moonlight. As long as there were lights on in many places outside the courtyard, Ye Li lowered his eyes and sighed slightly, "Tell them to be careful.

Don't destroy the century-old Dingwang Mansion." Chief Steward Mo said respectfully: "Don't worry, Princess, I have already told them." Ye Li nodded, sat by the window with his back against the window frame and smiled: "That's good, let's see who will come tonight. "Let's see, how many people in this world of Da Chu want to put Dingguo Palace to death

land.

The sounds of fighting outside the courtyard were getting closer and louder. Xu Hongyan stood by the window, looking at the fire in the distance and sighed, saying, "It seems that the emperor really intends to stand aside and watch." Ye Li shook her head gently and said softly, "Uncle, the emperor is not planning to stand aside and watch, but wants to fish in troubled waters. Guess how many of these people are from the palace?"

How big is the capital? In the past ten days, the various parties have been constantly provoking the Dingguo Palace, and no less than a hundred people have been lost. How many people can still hide in the capital now? If there were no capable people behind the scenes to provide convenience, how could so many masters sneak into the capital so easily? If they are really that powerful, I am afraid that the emperors of various countries will have trouble sleeping. Xu Hongyan was stunned, and finally just sighed, "Your Majesty, why do you have to..."

When the first assassin crossed the wall of the main courtyard, Ye Li stood up again and walked out. Several maids around her hurriedly followed, and Ye Li waved her hand and said, "Don't go out." Qingluan said, "We can't help at ordinary times, and now the princess won't let us follow her. We feel useless. Qingshuang and Qingxia don't know martial arts, so they stay in the room. It's better for me and Qingyu to follow the princess." Seeing her insistence, Ye Li frowned slightly and turned around and walked out of the study without saying anything else.

In the courtyard, Zhuo Jing and Feng Zhiyao came to greet them. Seeing Ye Li coming out, Feng Zhiyao said, "A few people went to the ancestral hall. They must be here to worship the Cloud-Surrendering Sword. The others went to the main courtyard, but a few went to the library."

Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "No matter why you are here, leave all of you behind and don't even think about getting out alive."

"Yes!" Feng Zhiyao laughed loudly, bowed to Ye Li, and flew out of the yard. His red dress carried a hint of cold and bloody aura in the blood-red color.

Gradually, the sounds of fighting gathered outside the main courtyard, and the guards of Prince Ding's mansion seemed to be unable to hold on. Ye Li stood under the eaves. Although he could not see the scene outside, he could hear the sounds of fighting and smell the strong bloody smell brought by the night wind.

Suddenly, several shadows quickly broke through the wall outside the courtyard and jumped in. Almost at a glance, they saw Ye Li standing under the eaves in white. Several shadows rushed towards Ye Li in unison. Their lightning-fast speed made people know that they were not ordinary killers, but real top-notch masters. Ye Li did not move, as if the murderous intent in front of her did not exist at all. When the shadows were about to get close, Zhuo Jing, who was standing beside her, suddenly moved. He raised his hand, and a cold light flew out from the bottom of his sleeve and swept away the person in front. At the same time, in the shadows, several sharp feather arrows shot past, and a row of neat feather arrows were inserted into the ground with the same direction and force, drawing a white straight line between the two sides, warning the approaching to stop.

The leading man in black stopped, glanced at the feather arrows on the ground, raised his left and right arms, and a long crack appeared on the sleeve of his left arm.

"The guards of Prince Dingguo's Palace are indeed worthy of their reputation." The man in black said in a deep voice.

Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled, "Your Excellency has given me a great reward."

The man in black narrowed his sharp eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness, "Princess Dingguo?"

Ye Li nodded and smiled, "That's right, how do you address me, sir?"

The man in black snorted, "You don't need to know who I am, just know that I am here to take your life." Ye Li didn't care about his threatening words, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Oh? It just so happens that I also want to know how many people want to take my life. Since you are here, stay with us." He raised his hand, and a red light with a sharp sound rushed out into the night sky, and a huge red flower bloomed in the sky. The strange and enchanting red instantly covered the sky of the Dingguo Palace, and people who looked up suddenly had an ominous premonition in their hearts. The man in black was alert and did not look at the night sky, but stared at the surroundings vigilantly. There seemed to be something extra in the darkness, and the man in black tilted his ear to listen carefully, but there was so much fighting going on outside at the moment that even someone with strong internal strength like him could not hear anything.

On the wall, Feng Zhiyao in red gracefully knocked away an assassin, looked up at the sky with admiration and said with a smile: "Princess, what kind of flower is this? It's very beautiful. When I make a robe next time, I will embroider this kind of flower on it."

Ye Li's mouth twitched involuntarily, and she said calmly, "This is Lycoris radiata, also known as the other shore flower. It is the only scenery on the Yellow Spring Road, and is also called the flower of death."

Feng Zhiyao stumbled and nearly fell off the wall. He laughed dryly and said, "Princess, you really know how to joke."

"Feng San, are you here to play?" Mo Hua appeared on the wall at some point, looking down coldly at the people in the yard.

“Humph, how dare you, a bold villain, break into the main courtyard of Prince Dingguo’s Palace? You must be tired of living!” Zhang Qilan, dressed in a battle robe and standing on a corner of the eaves with a spear in his hand. He was already burly and had a murderous aura tempered in him during his life of military service. Standing on the eaves at this moment, he seemed to be ready to sweep the world with his sword in hand.

The man in black soon found himself surrounded by the masters of Prince Dingguo's palace. Normally, he should have immediately gone forward to capture Princess Ding as a hostage in order to escape, but seeing Princess Dingguo standing leisurely under the eaves with only two women and one man, he suddenly hesitated. Is it really right to move forward? Is it another trap?

"Princess Ding is so scheming. She has been forbearing for so many days just to lure us into her trap?" The man in black stared at Ye Li and said.

Ye Li laughed crisply and said, "It's no big deal. Compared to you all, you are busy conspiring and scheming before my prince has even left the capital. As soon as the prince left, you keep bullying a weak woman like me. I think you have been kind enough. I'm sure you have had enough fun these days. Now... why not take a look at what my Dingguo Palace has to offer?" Outside the wall, the guards of Dingguo Palace, who had been gradually unable to resist, suddenly became more brave. Countless people rejoined them in the darkness. The situation outside seemed to have turned around in the blink of an eye. No assassins tried to jump over the high wall and break into the main courtyard anymore. Most of them wanted to escape. However, the elite secret guards of Prince Dingguo's Mansion also appeared at the intersection outside. The Palace of Prince Dingguo became even more lively for a while as they were attacked from both ends.

Knowing that they were trapped inside, the several people in black in the yard began to get anxious. A few of them raised their weapons and rushed towards Ye Li without thinking carefully. Zhuo Jing and Qing Luan beside Ye Li calmly went to meet them. On the high wall, Feng Zhiyao frowned and glanced at the situation in the yard. Finding that there was no need for him to intervene, he turned back to observe the battle outside the yard. Seeing several figures passing by quickly, leaving only a pile of black-clad corpses on the ground, he couldn't help but admire, "Princess, you have good skills. If the Mo family army has such skills, why worry about the unrest in the world?" Mo Hua stood beside him, followed his gaze, his face changed slightly, and he remained silent.

Ye Li silently watched the few black-clothed men who rushed up and died in the chaotic arrows, then looked up at the remaining few people. The black-clothed man leading the group laughed twice and said, "Well, you are worthy of being the Dingguo Palace and the Black Cloud Cavalry. But...does the princess think that these are all our preparations?"

Ye Li walked down the eaves and looked at the man in black calmly and said, "No matter how prepared you are, I have no intention of letting you go alive today. Sir, you should be the real leader of Yesha, right?"

The man in black was startled, then he smiled and said, "It seems my people have told the princess everything. What a trick! In that case... let's see how good they are!" After saying that, the man in black suddenly flew up and rushed towards Ye Li. During this time, he even avoided two feather arrows shot from the dark. Zhuo Jing frowned and raised his hand to signal to stop shooting. Ye Li looked at the man in black calmly, slightly turned his body to avoid a knife, and a silver knife flew from the bottom of his sleeve and hit the wrist of the man in black. A trace of surprise flashed in the man in black's eyes, and he turned the big knife in his hand and cut off Ye Li's attack. Ye Li snorted lightly, blocked the big knife with the dagger in his hand, and then let go of the dagger and quickly changed his hand to stab the man in black's left rib. Ye Li's dagger was made by Mo Xiuyaoxun with cold iron essence according to the pattern she drew. Not only was it unique in style, but it could cut iron like mud. The moment it collided with the big knife, sparks flew everywhere, but it didn't fall at all. It only left a slight scratch on the blade, but the dagger itself was intact and still shining with cold light.

The man in black dodged Ye Li's attack quickly, and his gaze on Ye Li became more dangerous. Originally, he did not take the Princess Dingguo seriously, because the Princess Ding's internal strength could not even be called a master, but could only be said to be decent. However, after only a brief fight, the Princess Ding, who did not rely on internal strength at all, almost made him suffer a loss. If this woman had a high level of internal strength, the man in black would not dare to think that he could be her opponent.

Ye Li did not intend to fight head-on, so she quickly moved away from the danger zone. She looked at the man in black and said with a smile, "Night Killing Leader, that's all. Take him down."

"Yes." Zhuo Jing nodded and made a few gestures into the night.

Several figures quietly appeared in the yard in the darkness and fought with the black-clothed man without saying a word. The martial arts of these people were very similar to Ye Li's. To be honest, they were far from being the black-clothed man's opponents, but their accuracy was amazing. As long as a knife or a palm hit the black-clothed man, it would definitely cause considerable damage to the opponent. But they cooperated very well, and with the help of the archer in the dark, it took less than a quarter of an hour to take down all the assassins in the yard, and only two of them were not seriously injured.

The leader of the Night Killings was restrained by acupuncture points and tied up with ropes in a strange way. Ye Li walked over and smiled faintly: "I heard that the true identity of the Night Killings leader is very mysterious, even Tianyi Pavilion, which is known to have the most well-informed information in the world, does not know it. It seems that I can solve this mystery today?"

Zhuo Jing reached out and untied the veil on the black-clothed man's face, revealing a resolute face of a man in his forties. Ye Li looked at the stranger in front of her calmly. Feng Zhiyao, who had been standing on the wall and watching this side, actually fell down from the top of the wall this time, staring at the black-clothed man and screaming: "Mu Qingcang!"
