Chapter 259: Breaking into Prince Jingkang’s Mansion at Night 1
It was night, and the breeze came, blowing the trees in the garden and making the leaves rustle. On the high wall, stood a man in a red gown, with his black hair without any restraints, dancing with the wind.
A silver mask covered half of his face from the bridge of his nose, leaving only a thin pink lip, which shone brightly in the silver moonlight.
After the slender figure stood quietly on the high wall for a moment, he flew directly into the high wall like a flying swallow and disappeared in the courtyard in an instant.
Prince Jingkang, Xiao Tianshang, stood quietly under the window, looking at the not-quite-round moon in the sky. His eyes suddenly dimmed, but the corners of his lips could not stop rising.
"Finally can't help but come?"
After muttering something in a low voice, he jumped out of the window and walked quickly towards the treasure house in the mansion. When he arrived at the door, the lock on the door had been quietly lying on the ground.
Looking at the pried lock, Xiao Tianshang couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"The indestructible lock made by the most famous locksmith in the capital is nothing more than this..." He ducked into the inner room and saw a slender figure standing there. He was completely unprepared for her sudden arrival.
There was no trace of surprise or fear in my heart.
His demeanor seemed more like he was specifically waiting for her to arrive. This person had reached a certain level as a thief.
Xiao Tian looked at the figures in the room and smiled:
"You are so courageous. You sneaked into my palace at night and were knocked into by me. Not only did you have no fear at all, but you actually stood here so calmly. Since you were able to escape from my guard,
Entering here An Ran, you must not be unaware of my arrival. You know that I am coming, but you still don't dodge, leaving me to guess..."
When she said this, a light flashed in her eyes, and the curvature of the corners of her lips became wider.
"You treat it so indifferently because I'm afraid that the purpose of your visit today is to meet me here!"
The man turned around, his silver mask shining dazzlingly in the moonlight, and the thin lips under the bridge of his nose were slightly upward at this moment. That kind of curvature is the most breathtaking.
A mellow and extremely magnetic voice came out from those two thin lips.
"The prince is indeed a smart man, and I like to deal with smart people the most, because that way I can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble..."
Having said that, Xiao Tianshang showed no signs of relaxing at all. A pair of eyes looked up and down at him, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
The original smile disappeared instantly due to the words that came out of her thin lips. There was a look of displeasure on her face, and she heard her coldly snort:
"Since you agreed to cooperate with me, you are my king's man, so you should know some sense of propriety. I am your master!"
There was an irresistible majesty in her words, and her words were clear enough to let the other party weigh them and not go too far.
Although the thin lips under the silver mask were still slightly raised, the light in the eyes also revealed a touch of determination.
"The prince may have misunderstood. I have never belonged to anyone. I am who I am. No one can force me to do anything, including you, the prince. Ah! Maybe I didn't make it clear to the prince beforehand. The prince and I have our own differences.
Yes, our relationship is, at best, a cooperative relationship. To say that you are my master is too much!"
It was said in a tone that seemed quite casual, like a common gossip, but it contained an irresistible force that made Xiao Tianshang feel startled.
I was extremely angry, but I couldn't speak. I just stared at the person opposite:
"you..."
After glaring for a long time, he finally suppressed the fire in his heart, took a deep breath, and then slowly said:
"Okay, even if you and I are not in a master-servant relationship, then you will appear here at this moment, and you will have to give me an explanation no matter what!"
After all, she was still the prince of a country, how could she be taken advantage of? She couldn't swallow this bad breath. She wanted to see how he would answer her.
However, what she didn't expect was that he would answer her so openly:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to go to the prince's palace to confirm something!"
"What's the matter?" She didn't expect that he would give her such an answer, but she asked casually out of instinct. As soon as the words came out, she felt a little annoyed, why did she blurt it out suddenly?
But once the words were spoken, it was impossible to take them back, so I had to grit my teeth and swallow them in my stomach.
Sure enough, her question was exactly what he wanted, and he smiled softly: "Come here to confirm whether there really is such a picture of Misty Jiangnan in the prince's house..."
She felt very uncomfortable as if someone had caught her pigtails. Could she, the majestic prince of Lan Yu Kingdom, be reduced to the point of lying to others?
Where is her dignity? Such a big blow and insult finally made Xiao Tianshang angry. He pulled out the long sword in his hand and pointed it directly at the person opposite.
"Ye Mei, you have to know how to measure yourself and know when to stop. You are just a thief. With my current strength, if I want to cure you, it will be as simple as squeezing an ant to death. Don't be so arrogant as to think
You have to challenge me because...you are not qualified yet!"
Ye Mei lowered her eyes and glanced at the long sword pointed directly at his throat. The sharp blade showed the power of the sword. If Xiao Tianshang had been closer, maybe his life would have been saved.
But even so, it didn't mean that he would be so frightened by her move that he would tremble all over and drip with cold sweat. Who is he? He is the night charm known as the master thief in the world. If he doesn't even have such courage, he will be ashamed.
This is the title given to him by others.
He glanced at the sharp blade that was close at hand, gently held the sword with his long fingertips, and moved it slightly away.
"Haha... Your Majesty is overly worried. Apart from coming to the palace to confirm this matter, I have no other intention. Besides, I have no reason to confront the Prince, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianshang took back the long sword in his hand and put it into the scabbard, but his expression was still not good-looking, and he snorted coldly from his nostrils:
"You know best. I can forgive what happened this time, but I won't do it next time! Because I don't have a good temper. Next time, maybe this sword won't come back without blood!"
A threat, a clear threat, but this threat did not scare him much. He still smiled calmly and said calmly:
"I'm not an unreasonable person. Since I've already visited today, can the prince give up his love and show me the picture of misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River so that I can see it? How about I also let you have the intention to serve the prince absolutely?"
