C140 Ye Ting Has Complained to Li Zhongyan about Protecting the Assassin

"Hehe, it's fine. Who told me that I'm from the Nanzhou? Now, I have become the target of public criticism. What I said just now was considered light. Thank you for excusing me just now. "

"Princess, although you are Head Protector of the Hundred-face Pavilion, I believe that you are not the heinous person they spoke of. Why can't you tell me your difficulties?"

"Wuming, there are some things that even if I say it out loud, it will not help. It will only add to my troubles. Thank you for your trust in me, but unfortunately, I may disappoint you in the near future. "

"How can it not help? One more person and one more power. As long as you say it out loud, we can think of a way to solve it. Did Jia Tianwei threaten you?"

"Hehe, don't ask anymore. But I can tell you a secret. "

"What secret?"

"In fact, I am not a person from the Western Regions. I am also a citizen of the Ming Dynasty like you. This is also the reason why I saved you that day. "

"What!!! You are. . . You are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty!!"

"En, back then I went to the Western Regions with my parents to play. Since then, I have never returned. A few years ago, I ascended to the position of Head Protector. In fact, I killed many people in the martial arts world and did a lot of bad things for Jia Tianwei. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to define me as an evil person, but that is only the martial arts world of the Western Region. Believe me, I didn't harm a person from the Central Plains. "

" I believe you. "

"Wu Ming, thank you for not telling the Emperor what you said in the pavilion that night. Otherwise, I would have been a prisoner today. "

"Actually, I am also very conflicted. I know that if I told the Emperor what you said that night, then the Emperor would definitely arrest you. If I did not say it, perhaps Da Ming would fall into a passive state. So I do not know if I should tell the Emperor these words. "

"But in the end, you still did not tell the Emperor. "

"En, I just cannot bear to let the Emperor catch you. "

"Thank you Nameless. " At this moment, Xiner's eyes were filled with tears. From Qingyun's eyes and words, she could feel the reluctance and nostalgia. It made Xiner feel such warmth in her heart. All these years, except for her parents. . . No one else could make her feel this kind of warmth and was about to leave. Actually, Xiner also had a lot of reluctance and reluctance in her heart.

They were talking in the pavilion and all of these conversations were clearly heard by Wan who was hiding in the dark. Wan said that she was adding food to everyone, but in fact, she followed Qing Yun and Xin'er out. She wanted to hear what they were talking about, because there were guards everywhere in the Imperial Residence. So Xiner did not pay attention to her hiding in the dark. It was also because the two of them were not paying attention at the moment. It brought Qing Yun quite a bit of trouble in the future.

When Wan heard their conversation, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She used her hands to cover her mouth and tears kept flowing down. Actually, she had already gradually fallen in love with Qing Yun. Originally, she thought that the heavens were giving her a chance to see Qing Yun again. Giving her a chance to get closer to Qing Yun again, how she wished she could marry Qing Yun. But now, the words she heard made her feel so ear-piercing. She secretly told herself in her heart: No matter what method, I have to snatch Qing Yun back. Tell herself that Qing Yun only belonged to her. No one else could touch her.

Thinking of this, Wan wiped away the tears on her face and carried the food back. She did not dare to stay any longer because she would attract the attention of the Emperor and the rest if she stayed out for a long time.

"Princess, if one day we meet on the battlefield, will you really kill me?"

This question from Qingyun made it difficult for Xiner to answer. She knew that she would not be able to do it. Now that they were about to part, she did not want to be so heartless anymore. All these years, her actions had gone against her wishes. But today, at this moment, she didn't want to go against her will anymore. She wanted to be selfish for once and follow her heart. She wanted to tell Qingyun that she couldn't do it. She wanted to tell Qing Yun not to get involved in this battle.

But just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt movement on the roof not far away, so she hurriedly changed her words and said, "Of course, although I saved your life. Although we were so close, I am still a person of Nanzhou. If one day you become my enemy, I will kill you mercilessly. " These words made Xiner feel pain in her heart.

"Haha, okay, I understand. " When Qing Yun heard this, his heart had already become numb.

"What do you understand now?"

"I understand now that the two of us are enemies in the end. In the end, we will fight each other. Either you die or I die. "

"Very good. It's good that you can understand this. Remember, your life was saved by me, which means that your life belongs to me. Keep it well. When the time comes, I will personally take it back from the battlefield. "

"That's right. My life is indeed yours. Sooner or later, I will return my life to you, but not on the battlefield. "

"Alright, let's give it a try then. "

Just as Xiner's voice faded, a figure flew out from the roof. A sword that was shining with cold light pierced towards Qing Yun.

Just as the sword was about to pierce into Qing Yun's body, he instinctively dodged to the side and jumped into the courtyard. The black-clothed man saw that his sword had missed and quickly chased after him. Then, he raised his sword and stabbed again in the courtyard.

The appearance of the black-clothed man alarmed the guards of the Imperial Residence. Immediately, someone shouted, "There's an assassin. " Very quickly, the guards all ran over. Xiner stood up in the pavilion and jumped to the middle of the two of them. She looked at this person. Although her face was covered, she was recognized by Xiner at a glance. Without any explanation, she raised her hand and attacked the assassin.

There were more and more guards by the side, which made Xiner very anxious. Just at this time, Xiner deliberately made a mistake and that assassin's sword pierced straight into Xiner's left shoulder. This was also something that the assassin did not expect. Seeing this scene, he was stunned on the spot.

Xiner endured the pain and whispered to the assassin, "Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave, we will all die here. Hurry up and leave. " As she spoke, she lifted her palm and sent the assassin flying.

The assassin followed the force and jumped into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night.

Xiner, who was watching the assassin disappear into the distance, covered her left shoulder with her hand and laughed. Then, she trembled and fell.

"Princess, are you alright? Princess!?" Qing Yun hurriedly went forward to hug Xiner who was about to fall. He saw that the blood that flowed out from his left shoulder had already dyed her hands and clothes red, causing the corners of Qing Yun's eyes to instantly become moist.

"I. . . I am fine. You. . . Don't worry. I really. . . Really want to fall like this. . . Into your embrace. " Xiner smiled and softly said to Qing Yun. This made Qing Yun's heart feel even more unpleasant.

Just at this time, the Emperor and the rest also heard the shouts and came here.

"What is going on? Quick, go and get the hemostatic medicine. " The Emperor frowned as he looked at Xiner who was hit by the sword and Qing Yun who was hugging her. He also ordered the guards to go and get the medicine to stop the bleeding.

"Emperor, a black clothed assassin wanted to kill me. Luckily the princess saved me. It was just that the princess accidentally let the assassin injure her. "
