Taking advantage of the crowd, Jiang Yao quickly ran out.
"Xiaolan, Xiaolan, let's go."
Xiaolan looked at Jiang Yao, who seemed frightened, with a confused look on her face: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Get out of here quickly, it's too scary."
"Ah? What's so scary?"
"Sukushi Chisai."
"Miss, you can't call Mr. Su by his name."
Even Xiaolan was frightened and looked around to see if anyone had heard her.
Jiang Yao also felt guilty and walked faster.
"But miss, why are we walking so fast?"
There was no one chasing her. Xiaolan looked back and saw that there was no one behind her.
Jiang Yao's heart was trembling. Are you kidding me? If I don't run, will I be killed if I stay?
That Su Qianji is not a human being at all, he is just a messenger who is seeking death.
He kills without blinking an eye, his knife leaves no blood, his body remains untouched by the blood, and his eyes are like he is looking at a dead person.
She had just been looked at and got goose bumps all over her body.
The original owner was definitely out of her mind. She actually had to be a love rival with such a cruel and bloody person. Why did she have to like Su Qianji's man when there were so many other people she could like?
The two of them walked out of the palace one after the other, and were stunned when they saw what was outside.
"Where's the carriage?"
Xiaolan ran around and came back confused: "Miss, the carriage is gone."
There were two carriages in total that came to the mansion, but now one is gone.
Not only was the Jiang family's carriage lost, but everyone else's was lost as well.
So everyone has left and she's the only one here?
Jiang Yao glanced back at the palace gate and shuddered: "Xiao Lan, let's walk back."
It was already late at night, and there was no place to find a carriage at this time, so we could only walk back.
Xiaolan borrowed two lanterns from the palace maids, and then took Jiang Yao back.
The summer night was filled with cool breezes, but Jiang Yao felt a chill in the air, as if a pair of eyes were staring at her from the dark.
He must have been frightened by the scene of Su Qianji killing people, so he had an illusion.
Jiang Yao shook his head, trying to get rid of the uneasy thoughts.
But the faster she walked, the stronger her uneasy premonition became.
"Xiaolan, do you feel like someone is following us?"
"No, miss, you're worrying too much. This is an official road, nothing will happen."
Jincheng has always been peaceful, and there has never been any assassination at night.
After walking a dozen more steps, Jiang Yao's hair stood on end and his guard was instantly activated.
"Hurry, Xiaolan, let's go back."
As she turned around with Xiaolan, a strange wind blew around them, and before they had taken a few steps, a dark shadow blocked their way.
Xiaolan's legs were shaking as she stood in front of Jiang Yao, "Who are you?"
Although she was touched, Jiang Yao wanted to cry. The opponent's fighting power was obviously higher than theirs, and there was no point in blocking him now.
The shadow didn't say anything, but moved closer to them step by step.
"Miss, run."
Xiaolan pushed Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao didn't move. She swallowed and pulled Xiaolan behind her.
They are both weaklings. They can't escape from the opponent who is so powerful. They might as well think of a countermeasure.
"Big big brother, you're just passing by, right?"
The eldest brother ignored her and took two steps forward.
Jiang Yao took small steps back, slowly letting go of Xiaolan's hand and holding it tightly in his sleeve.
"Haha, I can see that you are not just passing by." Jiang Yao forced a smile.
A black shadow flew up, holding a shining dagger in his hand.
Jiang Yao widened his eyes, suddenly half-crouched, and stood up again the moment the black shadow approached. He patted the black shadow's chest with the back of his hand, then quickly turned behind him and patted him twice more.
After the black shadow landed, he was still holding the dagger in his hand, but he was unable to move.
"Miss, when did you learn martial arts?"
"How could I possibly know martial arts?" She patted her frightened heart and said with a shrewd look, "I only gave him two needles."
Xiaolan then remembered that the silver needle Jiang Yao had asked her for before was actually used here.
Jiang Yao let out a breath, no longer nervous, and walked around in front of the black shadow.
It was wrapped so tightly that she could only see a pair of eyes, and she couldn't tell if it was a familiar face.
"Big brother, can I ask who asked you to kill me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clothed man's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and his murderous intent was even stronger than before.
Jiang Yao closed his eyes in fear, and opened them after a few breaths to look at him again.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore. I don't think you would tell me such confidential things."
"Then I've made my guess." Jiang Yao swallowed again and asked calmly, "Is it Jiang Shu?"
Judging from the look of the man in black, it doesn't seem like it.
"Jiang Xing and Jiang Yu?"
It doesn't look like it.
It's strange, she hasn't offended anyone else.
Jiang Yao couldn't think of who he had offended for a moment.
Xiaolan tugged at her clothes and said, "Miss, do you want to report this to the police?"
"Why report to an official? Isn't my grandfather an official?"
Xiaolan's train of thought was quite surprising. Jincheng was under the feet of the emperor. This person dared to commit such a crime so directly. He must have a powerful force behind him. She had to report it to the police, but in the end, if the matter got out of hand and the other party was not caught, she would be targeted even more.
"So, Miss, what should we do?"
"What should I do? He wants to kill me. I definitely can't let him go."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he stabbed the needle again, then under the sinister gaze of the man in black, he pulled back the needle tremblingly.
"You...you shouldn't look at me like that. You're such a skilled martial artist, I wouldn't feel safe unless I gave you a few more acupuncture treatments."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand again, hesitating whether to pull away the veil of the man in black.
Under the fiery gaze of the man in black, Jiang Yao withdrew his hand reluctantly.
"Big Brother, I don't care what you look like, but judging by your attitude tonight, it's definitely going to be either me or you who's going to die."
It was still some distance to walk back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and even if she ran, she might not be able to reach home before the man in black moved.
so.
"I'm being very gentle. Don't worry, it will pass once you close your eyes. It won't hurt too much."
The silver needle in his hand was shining coldly. Jiang Yao's face showed fear, but his hand did not shake.
She held the needle and was about to drop it when a gust of cold wind blew past her ear.
"ah!"
Jiang Yao screamed and took several steps back, then sat down on the ground again.
The cumbersome clothes on her body were instantly messed up, her hairpin fell to the ground, and her hair hung down a little, making her look a little disheveled.
She raised her hand in shock and looked at her palm. The needle was gone, vanished, knocked away by an invisible object.
Xiaolan fell to the ground without her knowing. She hurried forward to check and luckily she had just fainted.
After Jiang Yao stood up, he felt a physiological chill on his back.
She always felt that there was a cold gaze staring at her from behind.
It's not an illusion, there must be someone behind her.
