Chapter 572 Help! Murder!
Seeing that they were eating with relish, Xiao Xixi couldn't help but move over carefully, wanting to reach out and touch some.
Two timid cats ran away when they saw her approaching.
But there was still a particularly fat orange cat that had not left. It was still eating with its head concentrated, its fluffy tail wagging back and forth, and it looked like it was enjoying the meal very much.
Xiao Xixi stretched out her claws and stroked it.
The orange cat looked up, and when he saw that she didn't make any further movements, he continued to eat.
So Xiao Xixi started petting the cat happily.
This scene caught the prince's attention and aroused his interest.
He asked someone to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started to paint for Xiao Xixi and the orange cat.
Zhao Xian walked in at this time and reported in a low voice.
"Many spies appeared outside the imperial mausoleum."
Luo Qinghan didn't stop painting, and asked calmly, "How many people are there?"
"According to preliminary estimates, there should be about 17 or 18 of them. Some are acting alone, while others are in groups of three or five. They appear to belong to different masters. Should we deal with them?"
Luo Qinghan: "Don't worry about it."
"Yes."
After the orange cat had eaten and drunk its fill, it meowed at Xiao Xixi, then turned around and ran away.
The way he left in such a carefree manner made him look like a scumbag who would take all the blame and never admit his mistakes.
Xiao Xixi, as the one who was dumped, didn't feel sad at all. Instead, she greeted him especially attentively.
"Come and visit me often when you have time. I have a lot of dried fish here!"
She ran to the prince to see the painting he had drawn.
In the picture, a girl in a hibiscus-colored skirt is sitting under the porch, one hand resting on her side while the other hand is stroking an orange cat. Her almond-shaped eyes are curved into crescents, her little face is rosy, and she is smiling very cutely.
Xiao Xixi praised sincerely: "It's a great painting!"
Luo Qinghan put down his paintbrush, took out his private seal, and pressed a red stamp on the lower right corner of the scroll.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Xixi was very happy: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
She picked up the painting, looked at it from left to right, and liked it more and more.
It’s a pity that there were no mobile phones in those days. If she had, she would have taken a picture of the painting and posted it on her circle of friends to show off.
Look how beautiful she is in this painting!
Luo Qinghan asked: "Do you like cats very much?"
Xiao Xixi asked back: "Cats are so cute, who doesn't like them?"
"When we get back, I'll have someone pick out some beautiful cats for you."
Xiao Xixi quickly waved her hand: "No, I just like to touch cats, that's all. I don't want to keep a cat. It's too troublesome to keep a cat."
Luo Qinghan: "But didn't you raise Xiaoxi?"
Xiao Xixi: "That was a birthday present for you. If you don't want it, I can't do anything but keep it myself."
Luo Qinghan: "I don't want Xiaoxi, I'm just too busy to take care of it. It's more appropriate for it to follow you. Anyway, you have nothing to do every day, and it can keep you company."
Xiao Xixi pouted: "With someone like you, if you really have a child in the future, it will definitely be the kind of fatherly love that is as strong as a mountain."
Luo Qinghan was confused: "What's wrong with fatherly love being as high as a mountain?"
Xiao Xixi: "As a mother, you're circling around your child, and as a father, you're just sitting there, motionless, like a mountain. Fatherly love is like a mountain, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He said expressionlessly, "We haven't even consummated our marriage yet, and you're already thinking about having a child. You're really thinking ahead."
Xiao Xixi: "Okay, let's think about something closer. The Dragon Boat Festival is in two days, should we make rice dumplings?"
Luo Qinghan: "Can you make zongzi?"
Xiao Xixi was very honest: "I can't."
Luo Qinghan: "I don't know how to do that either."
Xiao Xixi: "Then let Zhao Xian go out and buy some rice dumplings."
Luo Qinghan said, "Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a dragon boat race on the moat. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
She paused and said, "Aren't you not allowed to leave the imperial mausoleum?"
Luo Qinghan: "It will be fine after tonight."
Xiao Xixi looked at him blankly.
Luo Qinghan touched her head and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
at night.
Xiao Xixi was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a sharp cat cry.
She suddenly woke up from her dream.
When I opened my eyes, I met Luo Qinghan's dark eyes.
The cat's meow came from the roof.
Then there were several more cat meows, accompanied by light footsteps.
Xiao Xixi's heart skipped a beat. There was someone on the roof!
Anyone who would hide on the roof in the middle of the night can only be an assassin!
Luo Qinghan took out the dagger hidden under the pillow and put it into Xiao Xixi's hand, asking her to use it to defend herself.
He got out of bed quietly, and just as he touched the sword hanging on the wall, the window next to him was suddenly broken from outside!
Two figures rushed into the room one after another.
The two men were wearing black night clothes, with their faces covered with cloth, so their appearance could not be seen. One could only see a pair of fierce eyes filled with murderous intent.
After they landed, they rushed towards Luo Qinghan with their knives without any pause.
Luo Qinghan drew out his sword and held it horizontally in front of him.
With a clang sound.
Just happened to block the attacks of two assassins.
Then two more assassins in black broke in through the window.
One of them rushed forward to help his companions besiege the prince, while the other one slashed at Xiao Xixi with the blade in his hand!
Xiao Xixi dodged sideways, then rushed forward with lightning speed and confronted the enemy head-on.
The assassin obviously didn't expect her to be so tough and was slightly surprised.
It was at this moment that Xiao Xixi seized the opportunity and swept the dagger in her hand, slashing the assassin's throat.
Just before the blood spurted out, Xiao Xixi dodged quickly while shouting at the top of her lungs.
"Help! Someone's killing me! Help!"
The assassin lying in a pool of blood: "..."
Keep your eyes open and die with your eyes open!
The other three assassins heard her shout and knew that the Yulin Guards would arrive soon, so their attacks became more fierce and brutal.
All three of them were rare masters, and they did not leave any room for maneuver when they attacked.
Even so, Luo Qinghan still withstood their siege and did not let them get any advantage.
When Xiao Xixi joined the battle, the situation became even more one-sided in favor of the prince.
When Zhao Xian and the Yulin Guards kicked the door and rushed in, the assassins had already been knocked down. Luo Qinghan knocked one of them unconscious, and the other two assassins knew that the game was over and committed suicide without hesitation.
Zhao Xian ordered the Yulin Guards to carry all the bodies out, and the only remaining survivor was also taken away.
Zhao Xian knelt on one knee and said: "I am late in coming to your rescue, please punish me, Your Highness!"
Luo Qinghan took out a handkerchief to wipe off the blood on the blade and said calmly, "The martial arts of these four people are like those of people in the martial arts world. They attack fiercely and ruthlessly without any hesitation. They must be veterans who are used to killing people."
Zhao Xian: "Your Highness suspects that they are assassins from the underworld?"
