The sword was sharp and cold, and shone with cyan light under the light of the luminous pearl.
The edge of the sword is extremely poisonous, and it will obviously seal your throat at the sight of blood!
Just when the tip of the long sword was about to touch the artery in Zhan Qingcheng's neck, the man leaning on the bed who had been sleeping with his eyes closed suddenly opened his starry eyes.
He raised his hand casually, and with a ding sound, his long fingers hit the sword, and the long sword was immediately bounced away by him.
However, the man in black who broke in was obviously no ordinary person. After the tip of the sword was deflected, he immediately turned his wrist and the sword changed direction and struck at Zhan Qingcheng's chest.
Zhan Qingcheng flicked his long sleeves, looking at the movement with little force, but suddenly, a strong and cold Qi was sent out.
The man in black turned around and flew through the air, finally dodging his attack.
Just as his feet landed on the ground, Zhan Qingcheng's Su Bai's figure had already landed in front of him.
His five fingers formed into claws and grabbed the black scarf on the face of the man in black. The man in black was so frightened by his wind-like speed that his breathing became chaotic and he immediately stepped back.
However, Zhan Qingcheng's long fingers had already hooked his black scarf.
The black scarf fell silently on Zhan Qingcheng's hand, and the man in black immediately turned around and jumped out of the window.
Zhan Qingcheng didn't chase him, he just grabbed a cup from nowhere and smashed it casually.
With a snap, it landed on the back of the man in black.
The man in black who had just jumped out of the window grunted, plummeted from the second floor, and landed on the ground with a thud.
The guards of Longwuyuan were already alerted. When they saw the man in black falling, several guards with long swords in their hands quickly surrounded him.
When Feng Jiuer heard the noise and rushed back, she saw Zhan Qingcheng's plain white figure standing by the window, looking at everything in the courtyard below.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief, walked quickly over, stood beside him, and watched the situation in the courtyard downstairs with him.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, what's going on? Is there an assassin?"
"Yeah." Zhan Qingcheng nodded and looked sideways at her.
Feng Jiuer, however, was still staring downstairs. Unexpectedly, the assassin's martial arts skills were so powerful that he could force one of the guards back, then jump up from the ground and walk quickly in the other direction.
Feng Jiuer's palms tightened and she was about to jump out of the window to help chase the assassin.
There was a sudden weight on her shoulders, and his big palm fell, completely interrupting her movements.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, he is running away!" Jiu'er was anxious, how could he let the man in black run away like this?
"The sword in his hand is poisonous, and one of his brothers down below has been hit by the sword." The assassin's martial arts skills were not weak, and the sword in his hand was stained with poison that could seal the throat when blood is seen. It would be too dangerous for Feng Jiuer to chase him.
After hearing what he said, Jiu'er immediately lowered his head and looked down. Sure enough, he saw a brother kneeling on the ground. He was stabbed on the arm, but he couldn't get up at all.
"Damn it!" Jiu'er bit her lip, put a palm on the window sill, jumped up with her slender body, rushed out of the window, and landed lightly on the ground.
She has only been missing for half a month, but this girl's Qinggong has already become so powerful.
Zhan Qingcheng's eyes were locked on her. The assassin would naturally be chased by someone, but what he was more interested in now was this brand new girl in front of him.
Feng Jiuer landed next to the injured brother. Seeing her, the others immediately nodded and called: "General Feng."
Jiu'er had no time or mind to pay attention to the question of this title. He immediately squatted down next to his injured brother, held a silver needle between his long fingers, and quickly dropped it around his wound...
…
Not many people knew about the return of the Ninth Prince, so the news of the Prince's assassination did not spread.
The news was blocked by Huo Yan in the front yard. Although Huo Yan was only one of the dozen captains, he had followed Feng Jiuer on the expedition. Now, Huo Yan is among the dozen captains of Longwu Academy.
His status is obviously different from other captains.
Late at night, Feng Jiuer finally returned to the room where Zhan Qingcheng was.
He was sitting at the table, eating, and his actions were not rude. However, after Jiu'er entered, he discovered that almost all the delicacies on the table had been swept away by him.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, how long has it been since...you haven't eaten?"
"Three days." After leaving Phoenix City, in order to get back as soon as possible, he never stopped along the way.
If it weren't for the fact that his horse was strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to carry it for three days and three nights.
After he came back, he originally wanted to go find her in person, but this girl didn't seem to like him getting close to her in public, so he endured it and asked Huo Yan to invite her over.
Then it was about the assassin again. He also watched her take care of the injured guard and control the poison before returning to this room.
Feng Jiuer's heart tightened slightly: "Why haven't you eaten for three days? Uncle Nine Emperors..."
He didn't speak, but his travel-stained appearance is still clear to this day.
She knew immediately that Uncle Nine Emperors was coming back in a hurry. No wonder he didn't even bring an army with him.
She seemed to understand a little bit. He seemed to be rushing back in such a hurry... just to see her.
Tonight was his first night back. He didn't discuss any big things with any big shots, nor did he have any so-called special tasks. As soon as he came back, he asked Huo Yan to find her.
This obsession made her unable to describe how she felt.
Feng Jiuer took a deep breath and saw that he was almost finished eating before changing the topic: "Uncle Nine Emperors, does anyone else know that you are back?"
He was assassinated just after he came back. Why did the assassin know the whereabouts of the Nine Emperors Uncle so clearly?
I'm afraid not even the people in Longwuyuan knew about Uncle Nine Emperors' return. How did the assassin know about it?
"Before this, there was only Huo Yan."
"Captain Huo... It's impossible. Just as the assassin left, Captain Huo rushed over immediately. It's definitely not him."
No matter how powerful you are in Qinggong, you will never be able to leave with your front foot in one direction, then come back with your back foot in another direction and change your clothes.
What's more, the assassin was being chased by his brothers from Longwuyuan. How could he find the time to hide and come back in another set of clothes?
The assassin will definitely not be Huo Yan, but who else knows that the Ninth Prince is back?
This person must be lurking deep in Longwuyuan, otherwise, there is no way he could have prepared all this when the Ninth Prince just came back!
Huo Yan and Academician Fang Zheng returned and reported to Zhan Qingcheng: "Your Majesty, the assassin disappeared after sneaking into Juefeng Garden."
Juefengyuan! Isn’t that the residence of the new male students? Could it be that tonight’s assassin is one of the new students?
Feng Jiuer suddenly thought of something, her palms tightened for an instant, and her face changed slightly.
"Wang...Uncle Nine Emperors, I have something urgent to do. I...I'll take my leave first!"
