Perhaps it was because he had been thinking about it during the day, but he dreamed about it at night. He dreamed that he got the silver spear, but then the people from the Dark Night Pavilion came to snatch it away, so he fought with them.
In her dream, she actually raised her hand and lifted the other person's mask, but she couldn't see the face behind the mask clearly at all.
Just as she was frowning and trying her best to see the other person's face clearly, she didn't notice that the other person had already thrust his sword at her.
However, the sword did not pierce him, because at the critical moment, Feng Beichuan suddenly rushed out and blocked the sword for him.
Li Chang'an only heard the sound of the sword blade piercing flesh; the sound was so clear, so real.
Then she heard herself calling Feng Beichuan's name with all her might, and watched as bright red blood gradually flowed from the corner of his lips before he slowly collapsed.
She saw that the person was covered in blood, a shocking sight of crimson.
"Chang An...actually, I've been like this for a long time..."
She saw the person struggling to open their mouth as if to say something, and reaching out as if to grab her.
But in the end, it was all left unfinished, and the person they wanted to catch was not caught.
I woke up suddenly.
Li Chang'an's chest heaved violently, and he lay on the bed for a long time before he came to his senses.
Only then did she realize that she was covered in a cold sweat.
But thankfully, it was all just a dream.
After letting out a long sigh, she closed her eyes again, but she couldn't fall asleep anymore.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Chang'an finally got out of bed.
She tiptoed out of the door and stepped into the courtyard. Looking up at the still-heavy moonlight on the horizon, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
Li Chang'an reached out and touched the sword at his waist, wanting to practice swordsmanship to relieve his mood, but then he thought that it was only the fifth watch of the night, and everyone in the general's mansion was still asleep, so it would be inappropriate to do so.
Then, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped onto the roof.
A gentle night breeze, carrying a slight chill, brushed against my face, instantly making me feel refreshed.
Looking down at everything around him, Li Chang'an suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world.
She couldn't help but think of the dream she had, the dangerous scenes in which felt as real as if she had experienced them herself.
In a daze, Li Chang'an couldn't help but recall the moment in his dream when he saw Beichuan fall down, a feeling of heart-wrenching pain welled up inside him.
While he was still in a daze, Li Chang'an suddenly glanced over and saw a faint, swaying figure on the back wall of his courtyard.
Her expression immediately hardened, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes. She then immediately got up and leaped from the rooftop where she was currently on to the rooftop of the building closest to the back wall.
At the same time, she could see more clearly that there was indeed someone there, and judging from their posture, it seemed that they wanted to climb over the wall.
The entire movement was fluid and seamless. Li Chang'an then landed lightly from the rooftop to the ground without making a sound.
She quickly hid herself in the shadows, intending to observe the other party's movements silently before making any plans.
In the darkness, Li Chang saw the man struggling to climb onto the wall, his arms seemingly already resting on it, and now he was trying his best to push upwards.
Such a furtive dog must be up to no good!
Li Chang'an could almost hear the panting sounds the other person made as they struggled to climb upwards.
A cold smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. With such mediocre skills, how dare she break into her yard alone at night?
That's practically suicide!
No sooner said than done, Li Chang'an swiftly drew his sword from his waist, then leaped down from the rooftop, the blade of his sword precisely aimed at the other man's neck.
Unstoppable momentum!
"oops!"
Then a gasp was heard, followed by a thud as something fell to the ground.
Li Chang'an stared speechlessly at the empty space in front of him—the other person had fallen off the wall!
Immediately, Li Chang'an nimbly leaped from the wall to the ground, still holding her sword and pointing it at the other party. With a cold expression and a deep voice, she said, "Who dares to be so bold? State your name!"
"It's me, it's me!"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Li Chang'an immediately frowned slightly. Then, in disbelief, she leaned forward slightly and, taking advantage of the darkness, carefully examined the voice before her expression changed drastically.
"Peach Blossom Lord? How could it be you? You're not..."
At this moment, Li Chang'an's emotions were completely overwhelmed by surprise and bewilderment.
As she spoke, she immediately sheathed her sword, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
What exactly happened?
"Oh dear, I almost broke my back... Your Highness, thank goodness this is only a three-meter-high wall, not a towering city gate, otherwise I would be dead today!"
Hearing the other party's very resentful tone, Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little helpless. In this situation, anyone would probably feel that the other party had ill intentions, so he naturally had to be more vigilant.
However, to express his apology, Li Chang'an finally apologized to Tao Yaojun late in the end.
"It's alright, it's alright, but could you please help me up first? Given my current condition, it's really difficult for me to think..."
Seeing the other person's extremely difficult appearance, Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel even more surprised. Then she quickly stepped forward and forcefully pulled Tao Yaojun up from the ground.
After standing up, Tao Yaojun immediately straightened her clothes and smoothed her slightly messy hair.
"Damn it, clothes that aren't mine definitely don't fit! Sigh, what a pity that my dress made of gold and silver satin was stolen by that damned bastard..."
Tao Yaojun reached out and tugged at her sleeve, then curled her lips in disgust, and frowned as she cursed.
What's wrong with you?
Seeing the other person's rather disheveled appearance, Li Chang'an couldn't help but ask a question.
Upon hearing this, Tao Yaojun immediately put on a bitter face and said, "You have no idea, I've had the worst luck today..."
Then, Tao Yaojun recounted everything that had happened that night to Li Chang'an from beginning to end.
