Chapter 31 Reunion

"Tuk-tuk! Fow!"

"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles, it's three o'clock!"

In the middle of the night, the city is quiet, and two watchmen are walking on the empty street with clappers and gongs in their hands.

"General."

Xiao Huan on the bed opened his eyes and sat up, picked up his coat and put it on, "Come in." The dark guard was nagging late at night, there must be something urgent.

A dark guard dressed in black appeared in the room and bowed to Xiao Huan on one knee, "Just now Twelve found a group of killers from Nighthawk Pavilion. Eight of them are very skilled. The target is the Li Mansion. The special subordinates came to report. Help out."

"My lord, let's go." Xiao Huan frowned. Although the clues were broken, it is still unclear whether Ruhua is from Li's mansion. Clothes were wrapped around the body, covered with sweat towels, the two turned back and forth out of the palace, and jumped towards Li's residence at a faster speed.

An Ran Court

Li Ru'an opened her eyes when the night shift sounded. She was highly alert, but she also had disadvantages. She had to wake up several times during night shifts. Even the footsteps of the patrolling lady could wake her up. Turning over, Li Ru'an closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes again, frowned and listened attentively. After two breaths, she pushed herself out of bed, pulled off her coat and put it on, fastened her belt, and walked out of the outside room. She silently opened a crack in the door and walked out, hiding in the east of the courtyard. Under the shadow of her horns, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and her ears moved slightly.

The moonlight shines, and the newly planted saplings in a corner of the empty courtyard are blown away by the cold wind, and the yellow leaves blown off the big trees outside the courtyard are slightly swaying on the blue brick and stone steps, and the doors and windows of the side rooms on both sides are closed tightly. Only Xuegu and the others' bedroom windows were dimly lit.

Outside the plastered wall, two women walked by with cowhide lanterns, took a look around, and then turned around to patrol elsewhere.

The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, and only the sound of the wind remained in the silent courtyard. Li Ru'an held back his breath, and quietly listened to the hidden breathing sounds around him. There were no fewer than five people, and the breath was long.

Four figures that almost blended into the darkness jumped up the wall one after another, landed on the ground silently, looked around, drew out the short blade, ignored the side room that was emitting light, and quickly approached the door of the main room with a clear goal, turning their backs and turning their heads Listen to the movement inside.

In the shadows, Li Ruan's watery eyes flashed brightly. It seemed that someone had paid a heavy price. This time, the person she was looking for was really interesting. She flipped her hand, and a delicate pistol appeared in her palm. She slowly tightened the silencer. The four of them pushed open the crack of the door and flashed in, raising their guns to aim at the two figures who had just jumped onto the wall.

Clap, swoosh, slap!

Two shots were fired in succession, tiny sparks were sparked from the muzzle of the guns in the darkness, and the two people on the wall stared at the corner with terrified eyes. Their feet clicked instantly, and they jumped up. In a second, I only felt a heat between my forehead, my body stiffened, and I fell limply.

The four of them entered the house but there was no one there, they quickly exited the main house, their feet were stunned, they were startled by the two bodies under the courtyard wall, they quickly looked around with their backs facing each other, the broken blade in their hands gleamed coldly.

Murderous aura lingered in the silence of the air, and it was on the verge of firing. Suddenly, two small sounds came, and the two men in black facing the corner only had time to see a hibiscus face reflected by tiny sparks in the dark. Stiff, the two people standing behind them with their backs facing each other were also stiff and their eyes widened. They watched something shoot out from between their foreheads, and made two small holes on the wall in front of them with two beeps. The back of their heads felt cold, and their foreheads The room was hot, and a drop of dark red liquid slid down the bridge of the nose. The four twisted their stiff necks, looked at each other, and fell to the ground together.

Pulling out the short blade pierced into the wall by his ear, Li Ru'an walked out from the darkness, with the smell of gunpowder smoke remaining on the tip of his nose, and walked around the six headshot corpses, and found that there was one thing in common, the six people's ears There is an eagle pattern the size of a fingernail on the back.

Li Ru'an snorted, the marks left by the killer on his body are still the same, isn't this clearly showing his name, how confident this organization is, how self-confident it is too stupid.

Kneeling down, he took out a wooden sign from one of the people's waists. Li Ru'an looked at the word "Nighthawk" on it, and was a little annoyed. He used a gun on a whim, and how to deal with these corpses now.

In an instant, Li Ru'an frowned, there are still people!It was too late and then soon, a short blade came through the air with a cold light. She turned forward with one hand on the ground, avoiding the sharp edge, and the short blade pierced deeply into a corpse. Leaping up, enveloped her and attacked.

With a twist of Li Ruansu's hand, four long needles shot out instantly. At the same time, a silver-glowing long sword pierced through the air and flew out from the left side. Wei Wei trembled and let out a low humming sound.

With two slaps, there were two more corpses on the ground. Xiao Huan jumped down from the wall. His face was full of uncontrollable ecstasy, and he looked at the girl in the courtyard who looked at him in amazement. .

"Xiao Jizhi?"

Xiao Huan was rarely happy, staring at the girl who occupied his mind every day and night, reluctant to look away, raised a spring-like smile, "Like a flower."

The twelve people were cleaning up the corpses. On the stone steps under the eaves, Li Ru'an turned to look at the man who had never stopped smiling, and asked in doubt, "Why did you appear here?"

"By chance, my hidden guards discovered that a group of killers from Nighthawk Pavilion were haunting nearby. The target was the Li Mansion. I happened to pass by. I didn't expect that their target was you." Xiao Huan said with a smile in a very good mood.

"You happened to pass by Li's Mansion... the backyard?" Li Ru'an looked at him suspiciously. Li's Mansion is so big, and the women's courtyard is almost concentrated in the center of the mansion. He was passing by outside, how did he run into the inner courtyard?
"Uh, you know I can hear the commotion in the mansion, and I was shocked that there were killers rampant at the feet of the emperor. As a citizen of Daqing, of course I couldn't turn a blind eye, so I came in and took a look." Xiao Huan was choked by her look. , touched the tip of his nose and said a lot of truth.

"So you also like to watch people fight." Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows and pulled the corners of his mouth, ruthlessly piercing through.

"...Yes, like you, I like to watch people fight." Xiao Huan nodded seriously, staring at the girl's exquisite side face with a smile, his chest seemed to be filled with all kinds of flowers, all blooming in the wind.

"Ruhua, is this your home?"

We met at her house, and Li Ru'an was not stupid enough to continue to hide it. Seeing that Xiao Jizhi is a gentleman, and we are still friends with her, the big deal is to ask him to help keep it secret. Li Ru'an turned to look directly at Xiao Huan, and spoke slowly.

"It was inconvenient to reveal my identity and name on the road before, don't blame me, let's get to know each other again, my name is Li Ru'an."

! "...Who do you say you are?"

Li Ru'an saw that his smile froze suddenly, he was dumbfounded, and his perfectly carved face looked a little silly, she sighed inwardly, although King Huan is young, but his seniority is old, judging from his age, he should be the nephew of King Huan, who is a junior or something, probably because he knows her The marriage contract with King Huan was frightened, poor baby.

"I said, my name is Li Ru'an."

The cold wind was bleak, and the yellow leaves were blowing down. The guards carrying the corpses suddenly heard their master laughing lowly. Looking over, under the eaves, a girl dressed in white was holding her chin, looking calmly at the people around her, while My master covered his forehead, laughing until his shoulders shook.

"Do you want to wake up the whole house? Besides, is my name funny?" Seeing that he coughed a few times with a smile, Li Ru'an frowned and said, can it be as funny as Ruhua?
"Cough, no, I'm sorry." Xiao Huan put his fist against his upturned mouth, suppressing the turbulent joy in his body, and mourned the sleep he lost every night after returning to Beijing.

"Li Ru'an, okay, nice to meet you, Li Ru'an." The voice with a hoarse laugh was extremely deep, lingering in his ears like a cello.

"You are a child of the royal family, you must know that I have a marriage contract with King Huan, what happened on the road, and what happened today, please keep it secret for me."

Xiao Huan rolled his black eyes, nodded with a smile, "Of course." Looking at the courtyard that had been restored to its original state, he lowered his smile and asked seriously, "Please use the Nighthawk Pavilion, and the so-called robbers on the fifteenth day , Ruan, who is going to deal with you?"

"It's okay. After tonight, she probably has no cards left. I really want to see what moves she has."

Li Ru'an raised his eyebrows and smiled, his ears moved slightly, he glanced at the swaying firelight from the window, stood up and said to Xiao Huan, "My nanny is awake, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave." If Xuegu sees him here late at night Chatting with her, it is estimated that the prehistoric power will be released to destroy the wall-climbing disciples.

"Okay, Ruan, do you have time to have a talk at Yunhai Tower tomorrow?" Xiao Huan stood up, reluctant to look away, and extended the invitation with a smile.

"No, let's go." Xuegu's footsteps sounded, Li Ru'an waved his hand, saw the man shrugging his shoulders and turned out of the yard with a smile, Xuegu opened the door with the oil lamp, and was startled by the young lady under the eaves.

"Oh, how come my sister is outside at night, wearing such thin clothes, she is not afraid of being cold! Come inside!"

Li Ru'an was pushed back to the house by Xuegu's arms, with a happy expression, how could she have time to go to the Yunhai Tower tomorrow, she would also like to go to the Yiyue Pavilion to watch the face-changing show.

Twelve woods put on a face, seeing that the master in front of him was behaving strangely since he left Li's mansion, his usual indifferent and lonely face was full of spring breeze, he covered his mouth and smiled, and even walked around in circles on the street!Tsk tsk, no matter how powerful a hero is, it's hard for a beauty!He was different, pure and clean. What he was interested in was the wounds of the six corpses. The blood mixed with the brains flowed out from the small holes in the forehead and the back of the head. With the entire brain, what kind of weapon is this capable of being so powerful?

"What did you say? Xiao Ruhua is the daughter of the Li family? Is that the daughter of the Li family you are talking about?"

The next day, a strange cry came from the master's room of Prince Huan's mansion, which attracted the attention of several servants.

"Senior Yan, please pay attention to your image." Leaving aside the stunned Yan Mo in front of him, Xiao Huan took a sip of tea leisurely, with a happy expression on his face.

"The girl is the daughter of the Li family. Oh my God, I haven't had a good night's sleep since I returned to Beijing. I searched so hard, but I missed the daughter of the Li family. General, so you have seen the girl before, haven't you?" , I can’t recognize him at all, my subordinates have had a miserable life these days!”

"I've been chasing after ladies from aristocratic families all over the capital every day, what are you selling!" Yan Mote took a sip of Yi Xing, who was covering his heart and pretending, sat down and shook his head and sighed, "It's true that there is nowhere to find after breaking through the iron shoes. No effort at all."

Xiao Huan, who deeply agreed, nodded slowly, looking forward to the day when she entered the palace in a few days, what kind of expression she would have when she saw him.

Yan Mo lowered his head and took a sip of tea, a trace of sadness flashed in his long and narrow eyes, it turned out that his fate was already doomed, and he was the one who came late.
