Nowadays, martial arts experts are as common as cabbages. I reckon that the heavens are sending one to me. Just now, they sent me a beautiful dancer who is skilled in martial arts. Now, they send me a sneaky assassin who doesn't know how to make a sound. He came without a sound, not because he tiptoed.
/p
Prince Yue and the two people who were locked in a stalemate also noticed my sudden intrusion. Prince Yue's eyes were dark and his anger was about to burst out of his damaged body. The half-white dancer called out sweetly, "Master!"
/p
I shivered and goosebumps appeared all over my body.
/p
"Don't move!" The person holding a knife at my back warned me in a low voice, but that was all he said to me. Then I heard him turn his head and say, "I didn't come here to make you call me master!"
/p
Oh, he should have said that to the dancer. I saw that half of her delicate face had turned pale.
/p
"Your Highness was in a daze just now. Why didn't you take advantage of such a good opportunity?"
/p
His face was as white as a sheet, and he looked like a ghost.
/p
The dancer restrained her sparkling eyes. Her voice was melancholic and it was heart-wrenching. She said slowly, "This subordinate understands."
/p
I didn't see any movement from the dancer's side, but Yue Wangye took a large stride forward, his leather gloves clasping her chin. Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and the dancer took out a dagger from who knows where. I saw that it was dipped in green juice, probably smeared with poison.
/p
Prince Yue grabbed her chin from both sides. When the dagger came from the right, he used his right hand to block it. Kacha! The sound of something falling to the ground followed. The poor dancer's chin was dislocated and her weapon was knocked away.
/p
"Trash." I heard the person behind me curse angrily. In the blink of an eye, he changed his tone and praised, "Prince Yue is really good at fighting."
/p
I rolled my eyes. Seriously, he's even better at acting than I am.
/p
Prince Yue directly knocked out the delicate dancer and stood up. His gaze first shot towards me, then slowly shifted to the person hiding behind me and holding me hostage. He asked solemnly, "Who are you?"
/p
"We met in the dark a few times, but I forgot to introduce myself. How rude."
/p
The prince replied, "Since I was rude, I should make up for it. Who are you?"
/p
"Naturally, I work for the imperial family."
/p
"If it is under Father Emperor's command, there is no need to get involved. Ben wang has already issued a decree and is fully responsible for this matter. If you want to get involved, it won't be too late to wait until this wang's head is cut off," the prince slowly said, the threat in his words very strong, "But if it is another prince who sent you to get involved, then it is overstepping one's authority and breaking the rules. Ben wang has no choice but to punish you. There is no need to know who your master is!"
/p
The person behind me replied, "My Wangye was afraid that you would find it difficult to support yourself alone. That's why he stepped in to help."
/p
Prince Yue said, "You were the one who restrained me during the night of the Qixi Festival. You were also the one who stopped me during the fire at the Tang Residence."
/p
The kidnapper was so magnanimous that I broke out in a cold sweat for him. "That's right."
/p
I heard the prince crack his knuckles. "So, the Rehmannia Glutinosa is with you."
/p
"I was indeed lucky enough to obtain it."
/p
The prince sneered and said, "Then why did you throw yourself into a trap? Fine, since your brain was damaged, you threw yourself into a trap. This time, this wang will take back the pearl you stole."
/p
"Your Highness, please wait." The assassin didn't seem to be afraid of him. He just put the blade closer to my neck. Good fellow, it was so cold that it was touching my aorta. I was really worried that he would slip and take my life. "Now that the period of the night has passed, tomorrow is the big day of the prince and the young lady. If the bridal procession comes to pick up the corpse, what should we do?"
/p
Prince Yue seemed to be very angry. The flesh on his cheeks was twitching.
/p
The assassin behind me didn't mind the danger. He added fuel to the fire and said, "Even if they can't pick up the corpse, a white cloth around the bride's neck to cover the wound is also very frightening."
/p
Prince Yue clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked. He seemed to be gritting his teeth as he spat out each word: "If you dare to touch her, even if you are the Emperor's servant, even if you are at the ends of the earth, this prince will tear you to pieces."
/p
I, who had been silently watching the show and pretending that I didn't exist, was forcefully dragged into this highly targeted assassination. Seeing that I had become a fish on the chopping block in the mouths of these two men, I couldn't help but say, "Why do you all think that I'm easy to bully?"
/p
I felt that the two men in the room were startled at the same time.
/p
This was a rare opportunity. I didn't want to be merciful and give them time to react. Thus, I used all my strength and fiercely raised my right leg. The back of my foot hit the assassin's nose. I used all my strength to kick him. With a crack, I estimated that the bridge of his nose was completely broken.
/p
The viscous blood gushed into the back of my collar, making me feel extremely uncomfortable.
/p
I directly grabbed the man's wrist and pressed down hard. I was afraid that his bones had already broken into several pieces, but he was still able to grit his teeth and hold on. He stubbornly refused to let go of the dagger. I was surprised for a moment. Then, I used more strength and hit his injured wrist with my palm. Finally, I was able to take the dagger back.
/p
Holding his dagger, I turned around and pressed it against his throat. I was the one who had taken the initiative. It was very comfortable.
/p
"Are you happy kidnapping me?" I mercilessly stabbed his exposed neck with the dagger. Drops of blood flowed out. "You still want to hurt my neck? How are your injuries? "
/p
That person had kidnapped me from behind. Only now did I see his face. Actually, it didn't make any difference whether I turned around or not. The man had a thick black cloth covering his face, and even his hair was combed into a headband. His face was completely covered, and only his neck was exposed. With such a big flaw, where else would he be able to hurt if he didn't hurt this part of his body?
/p
I saw him tremble. His eyes almost popped out. "You, what happened to you?"
/p
I looked at him as if we were very familiar with each other. I couldn't help but ask him, "What happened to me? What happened to me? "
/p
He angrily turned his head to the side, letting the blade cut through his neck. His attitude of refusing to obey even if he died. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that I had forced him.
/p
Prince Yue suddenly made a sound. He picked up a peanut from somewhere and used it as a weapon to hit the assassin's acupoint. Then, in a flash, he appeared in front of me, separating me from the assassin. After confirming that the acupoint was hit, he pushed his hand back, indicating that I should let go of the dagger and let my guard down.
/p
I looked around. There were a total of three people in the room. Two of them were tightly dressed, which made me seem out of place.
/p
"How does Your Highness intend to interrogate this person?" I asked.
/p
"Interrogate?" I heard him laugh disdainfully. He asked me in return, "Why do you want to interrogate him?"
/p
"Your Highness, don't you want to get something out of him?" I was very suspicious. I couldn't help but ask, "He just said that the bead is in his hands. Since he is already trapped here, why don't you torture him and wait for him to spit out something?"
/p
"If you want him to spit out something, why do you need to interrogate him like a gentleman? You think too highly of him," Prince Yue said fiercely. "Search his body, skin him, and if you can't find the bead, chop him into mincemeat and feed him to the dogs. Why do you need to go through so much trouble?"
/p
His words were full of hostility, as if he had been provoked. So, I wisely decided not to touch his reverse scale. But why does this reverse scale exist? I need to think about it carefully.
/p
The audience below the stage had long run away. Even the dancing girls on the stage had hurriedly returned to their rooms. The banquet was supposed to be full of joy, but it had turned into a complete mess. As the host, Prince Yue naturally hated him for ruining the banquet he had carefully arranged.
/p
He couldn't listen to the song and couldn't watch the play. He wasn't angry on the surface, but he blamed all his anger on the instigator. Listen, he searched her body, skinned her, and threw her out to feed the dogs. He didn't seem to think that was enough.
/p
I didn't want to be the target of his anger. Although I was a guest invited by him, I was the only guest left in the empty building. I couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't be accused of failing to protect him. If I was punished because of this, aiya, it would be a sin.
/p
My eyes flickered, and I sensed Prince Yue's extremely unkind expression. Cleverly, I did not mention this matter. Changing the topic, I said, "Don't you think this assassin is stupid enough? His own pawn, the dancer, was clearly exposed, yet he still wanted to stay, and stubbornly carried out an assassination that he had no confidence in succeeding."
/p
Prince Yue's murderous aura eased a little. He said, "Stupid? No, he's not stupid. He just judged the situation correctly and used the wrong method. " He turned around and glanced at the dancer who was barely wearing any clothes. He was so disgusted that he could spit it out from his mouth. "When this prince knew that this dancer was not arranged by this prince, he had already ordered people to set up a trap."
/p
I suddenly understood. "Then, you were the one who ordered this girl to go on stage?"
/p
"Naturally." Prince Yue said, "This thief's martial arts are not low and his perception is also very sharp. He probably already knew that this place was an inescapable trap. Rather than sit and wait for death, he might as well fight to the death."
/p
I didn't hold back and sneered. "How could he have the courage to fight to the death?"
/p
Only then did Prince Yue curl his lips and smile at me. His almost frozen anger eased a lot, but he didn't talk to me.
/p
I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. This person had stealthily appeared behind me with a knife. It was obvious that he had a motive. I pointed at my nose in astonishment and asked, "Me?"
/p
This person wanted to subdue me to control the prince?
/p
I couldn't help but get angry. Great! This thief really doesn't have any considerations. Let's not talk about whether or not I am a soft persimmon that can be pinched. Let's talk about the Prince, the dignified Prince of Yue. Once his ghost face appears, ten thousand ghosts will weep. How can a little girl like me keep him in check?
