The sound of extremely neat footsteps came from outside the yard. The sound was very regular, and one could tell that they were well-trained.
As expected, a large number of guards poured into the small courtyard. The guards entered the courtyard neatly and orderly in two groups, leaving a broad avenue in the middle.
Ji Lingxuan's pupils suddenly shrank as she looked at the man in black clothes walking slowly from the avenue...
What Ling Yun said just now made him somewhat apprehensive, but she was still willing to look forward to it.
Perhaps...Ling Yun's words just now were just the same verbal threats as before...
Yes, that must be the case. As long as she is frightened, there will be loopholes, and he will catch her fault and insist that she is a spy who colludes with foreign thieves.
But when Chu Yingyi's eyes stared at her, she could no longer calm down, her heart throbbed, and her weak and weak body couldn't help but retreat away...
In fact, at this time, Chu Yingyi was unparalleled in beauty and elegance, and could eclipse the world with just a few gestures.
The innate nobility is so innate that no one can look directly at it.
The aloof Prince Chu, moving around as if taking a leisurely stroll, produced an irresistible majesty. This is what people call momentum.
As soon as this man appears, people can't help but admire him.
Oh, it was still the unparalleled Chu Yingyi, with a handsome face and aloof temperament, but her eyes were very strange to Ji Lingxuan.
Chu Yingyi's eyes usually do not contain happiness or anger, only a touch of alienation and indifference. He does not care about everything and nothing can enter his eyes.
At this moment, Chu Yingyi's originally deep and dark eyes became even deeper, as if they were bottomless. The unpredictable light flickered in his eyes, like a black hole, possessing a fatal attraction. It seemed that
Everything can be swallowed up by it.
Slowly, Chu Yingyi approached Ji Lingxuan step by step, without feeling sad or happy.
But Ji Lingxuan felt that he was angry, and she was very angry.
Ji Lingxuan's heart began to tremble uncontrollably...
Is he really like what Ling Yun said...doesn't he believe in himself?
Those eyes seemed to be carrying a knife, and every step closer seemed to be piercing Ji Lingxuan's body with a knife. The strangeness in the pupils made her sad. The coldness in the pupils made her feel chilled. The calmness in the pupils made her angry. That
The indifference in her pupils made her... feel wronged...
Having just heard some confusing remarks from Ling Yun, she understood that Chu Yingyi must be angry for a reason.
Despite this, Ji Lingxuan still couldn't help the anger and grievance in her heart...
Ji Lingxuan can't blame this man for hurting her so rudely last night, leaving her with nowhere to go. However, how could he misunderstand her like this before everything was found out?
She has her own pride. Now that Chu Yingyi has appeared in front of her with an attitude of distrust, does she still need her to beg like a dog in front of him?
At this time, the man in black had already retreated to Ji Lingxuan's side, and said solemnly: "Baba, something is not good, there are so many people here at once. There are also archers watching, I can't handle it alone...
…”
After pondering slightly, the man in black continued, "Be prepared to die. I will take you to escape later. I didn't take anyone with me to escape. I don't know if the chance of success is high. Try it.
Bar."
When Ji Lingxuan heard this, her heart warmed. An assassin she had only met twice had not even thought of leaving her behind at this time.
He lowered his eyes slightly and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, let's go. No matter what, I am still Princess Chu, and they will not do anything to me."
In fact, Ji Lingxuan knew very well that she, Princess Chu, was just a name. No one in the Prince Chu's palace regarded her as a princess, and what happened last night was the best proof.
Besides, now... she was not sure whether Chu Yingyi really wouldn't kill her.
Even if she didn't understand martial arts, she knew that the man in black would never be able to escape if he took her with him. She really didn't want to drag down someone who was unwilling to abandon herself at such an emergency, so she did
Ask him to leave.
This man in black has been lost in Prince Chu's Mansion for several days without being found, and it was obvious from the fact that he was not weak in martial arts when he just faced the guards.
If it was just one person, the man in black should be able to protect himself. If he had to take her with him, he would really die together.
Ji Lingxuan really felt very complicated now. She originally wanted to lure the man in black to see Chu Yingyi and let Tian Yi catch him, so as not to reveal the secret of Chu Yingyi's complete loss of martial arts.
But she didn't expect that the man in black would protect her in every possible way in times of crisis. If she still thought about harming others, she would really be a heartless and ungrateful person.
"Are you lying to me? When those people rushed to kill you just now, they showed no mercy..." Although the man in black was innocent and cute, he was not a fool, and he did not believe Ji Lingxuan's words at all.
Ji Lingxuan was so angry that she reluctantly raised the corner of her mouth and offered words of comfort, "Those people just now were brought here by others, not close associates of the Prince of Chu's Palace. Now that the Prince of Chu is here, will he bring his bodyguards to kill me, a gift from the Emperor?"
Princess? Just leave with peace of mind, I will be fine."
Seeing that the man in black was already a little shaken, Ji Lingxuan immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued her, "Look, there are so many people now. If they want to kill me, you will be unable to defeat four people with just two fists. Instead of dying with me, why don't you die with me?"
Keep your life, and maybe you can help me get revenge in the future!"
Although Ji Lingxuan just seemed to want to trick people away, these words were indeed somewhat sincere.
She did have a good impression of Chu Yingyi, but she didn't like Chu Yingyi to the point where she didn't have any resentment even after he was killed.
If Chu Yingyi really kills her, then if someone can avenge her, why wouldn't she do it?
The man in black thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement and solemnly promised, "Baba, don't worry, if they really kill you, I will definitely not let them go."
"Well, let's go, take care." Ji Lingxuan nodded indifferently. Although she was very touched that the man in black did not leave her and run away alone, she really didn't have much hope for a person she had only met twice.
The so-called revenge is just talk.
Moreover, the situation she was in now had nothing to do with this man in black.
If she hadn't seen Nangong Zi'er being treated in such a miserable state by this man in black, she would have suspected that this man in black colluded with Nangong Zi'er to frame her.
However, the man in black didn't care whether Ji Lingxuan believed it or not. He only wanted to leave after repeated assurances. Ji Lingxuan watched the man in black take two steps before remembering the most important thing and immediately stopped him.
"What you heard when you smashed the roof just now must not be leaked."
Although Chu Yingyi distrusted her so much, which made her feel very unhappy and chilled. However, after all, he became like this because he wanted to save her, and she didn't want him to get into trouble because he lost his martial arts skills.
However, she was not sure whether the man in black heard about Chu Yingyi's complete loss of martial arts, so she could only explain it briefly.
Of course...it's up to the assassin to decide whether to listen or not...
After the man in black nodded, he flew away. The guards behind him immediately rushed to meet him, and at least half of them went to round up the assassin.
Instead, Ji Lingxuan was left standing there doing nothing, waiting for resignation.
Raising his head slightly, Chu Yingyi had already entered the room and stood in front of him.
There was no warmth in the cold eyes, and Ji Lingxuan felt very upset, but she still stubbornly said nothing, straightened her back without any shame, and looked directly into his eyes without fear.
Ling Yun stood aside with a proud look on his face, looking at Ji Lingxuan with eyes full of provocation and ridicule. He seemed to be very happy with her current embarrassment, and he could only say gloating on his face.
After a while, Ji Lingxuan heard the familiar voice, "Ji Lingxuan..."
