Chapter 387: The Death of Xu Meir

Xu Meir watched in shock as the man in black jumped onto the roof.

As soon as he hid himself, Eunuch Xu and a group of eunuchs rushed in from outside.

The narrow room suddenly became crowded. Unlike the man in black, Eunuch Xu saw Xu Meir who was beaten like a pig's head at a glance.

However, he always did things neatly and didn't like to talk nonsense. He said directly to the eunuchs behind him: "Send them to their way."

"Yes, eunuch."

Several eunuchs behind immediately took out ropes and surrounded Xu Meir and Xiaodie.

Xiaodie, who was in a coma, was completely unaware of this.

When Xu Meir saw the rope so close, she subconsciously moved back and shook her head desperately: "No, wuwuao."

She wanted to say not to come over.

But none of the eunuchs present listened to her.

The two of them skillfully wrapped the rope around her neck, tied a knot, and were about to tighten it.

Xu Meir was panicked and subconsciously looked towards the place where the man in black was hiding.

Her eyes widened with fear and she raised her hands to grab towards the roof.

It seemed that there was something there that could save her.

When the man in black saw this scene, his face suddenly darkened.

He even felt a little regretful that he didn't take action just now and knocked the palace maid unconscious directly.

It was quite unfortunate that he came tonight. Her Royal Highness the Princess was not here, and no one knew where she was hiding.

Eunuch Xu noticed something was wrong.

Then, he looked in the direction that Xu Meir grabbed.

Then, a dark shadow fell into his eyes.

He was startled by the dark shadow, and then immediately said calmly: "There is an assassin!"

Two little eunuchs who had been standing by and did not move also reacted instantly after hearing this.

Both of them knew martial arts, and immediately stepped on the shelves on the wall and rushed to the beams on the roof. The

man in black thought to himself that it was not good. Even if he was not afraid of these two little eunuchs, once he was dragged, it would be difficult to leave this deep palace.

As the number one killer in the Thousand Killings Tower, he did not want to die in the hands of these guards for no reason.

He immediately jumped down from the roof, kicked away several eunuchs who were trying to catch Xiaodie, picked up the unconscious Xiaodie on the ground, rolled over and broke the window, and ran wildly into the night.

Eunuch Xu narrowed his eyes. Although his voice was a little sharp, it did not sound feminine.

"Chase."

"Yes!"

Two eunuchs who knew martial arts had already rushed out.

However, the two eunuchs who were handling Xu Meir still did not let go of the ropes in their hands. The ropes were getting tighter and tighter, making her face ugly and purple, and her breathing difficult.

She opened her mouth wide, trying hard to breathe, and her hands clasped into the flesh of her neck, leaving a bloodstain.

This weak obstruction could not loosen the rope at all, but instead accelerated her death.

The feeling of suffocation was extremely painful. Xu Meir kept kicking her legs and struggling, but it was useless.

Her eyes were full of unwillingness. She

stared at the direction where the man in black took Xiaodie away.

She wanted to tell him that she was the Princess Zhaoyue he wanted to rescue, but her mouth was so swollen that she didn't even have a chance to explain.

This kind of life was clearly in front of her, but the feeling of being fleeting was more painful than letting her die immediately.

Therefore, when Xu Meir died, she still opened her eyes wide, with unwillingness and despair in her eyes

. The man in black was very good at light work. He was able to escape all the way while carrying a person and get rid of the pursuers.

After finally having a chance to catch their breath, the man in black took Xiaodie to hide in a dark corner, and then woke her up.

Xiaodie opened her eyes in confusion, and was about to scream when she saw the man in black, but the man in black quickly covered her mouth.

"I'm here to save the princess. Tell me where Her Royal Highness is?"

Xiaodie was stunned, and then she rolled her eyes and looked around.

She suddenly remembered something, and quickly pulled the man in black's hand away and said, "Her Royal Highness is in the cold palace, take Her Royal Highness away from here!"

The man in black frowned slightly, his face solemn.

"I didn't see Her Royal Highness."

Xiaodie was shocked: "How is it possible? Her Royal Highness was in the same room with me just now."

The man in black suddenly realized something.

He suddenly thought of the maid whose face was so swollen that her original appearance could

not be recognized. He was just someone who was hired at a high price to go to the palace to rescue the princess. He had never seen what the princess looked like.

He just took a look at the portrait.

And the woman he saw was wearing the same maid's clothes as Xiaodie, and her face was beaten like that. How could he recognize her? He

originally thought that as long as he went in, he could take the person away without anyone noticing.

He never expected that such a mistake would occur.

The man in black turned his head to look in the direction he ran out. Now that the palace guards have been alarmed, the security there must be more stringent than before. His face was extremely ugly, knowing that today's rescue plan has failed!

After reaching this conclusion, the man in black stood up decisively, knocked Xiaodie unconscious again, and fled.

The people behind him quickly caught up with him. All the guards in the palace were alarmed and began to search for the assassin with torches.

In the cold palace, Eunuch Xu had already had Xu Meir's body dragged to the yard. He looked at the seemingly silent night sky with a deep gaze.

It seemed that Xu Meir's death was not his fault.

A dragnet was set up in the palace to catch the assassin.

It was different from the last time when the assassins who kidnapped the emperor easily escaped.

The man in black found that all the routes he had taken when he came here were already covered with patrolling guards.

There was a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps. In a short period of time, all the ways to leave were blocked. It was so tight that not even a fly could fly out!

The man in black looked extremely ugly.

He immediately retracted his head and hid in a corner.

But it was not safe here either. It would be checked soon. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered!

Why was it different from the news he got?

Didn't someone just capture the emperor in the palace some time ago?

And these palace guards, the waste assassins, were not caught!

It was the regent who personally sent troops out to rescue the emperor.

While the man in black was thinking, suddenly a bright light shone from the corner, and a loud shout accompanied by countless dense footsteps rushed over.

"The assassin is here, catch the assassin!"

Suddenly, the countless footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the ground was shaking a few times. The man in black was about to jump onto the roof, but arrows flew over his head from all directions, forcing him back to where he was.
