Chapter 38 Black Hand (2)

The cold light of the dagger was like a cold arrow, piercing towards Lou Xiyue with extreme speed.

Lou Xiyue was first dazzled by the bright light, before she had time to think, her body subconsciously made dodge movements.She first gave Yunzhi a hand: "Get out of the way!"

Yunzhi was still at a loss: "Your Majesty, why—"

Her voice stopped abruptly, and she was pushed away by Lou Xiyue the next moment.At the same time, Lou Xiyue sideways avoided the head-on blow, and then she made a sudden move, severely restraining the boy's wrist.

In a flash, she flew up and kicked the opponent's chest hard.

This kicked her so hard that the boy's face immediately turned pale.Randomly, Lou Xiyue grabbed his arm and twisted it fiercely, and immediately removed the blade from the opponent's hand.

There was only a "clang" sound, and the dagger fell to the ground. In an instant, all the ladies present were shocked.They screamed and backed away: "Come on, come on, there are assassins, there are assassins!——"

They fled in all directions, and Princess An Ning was the first to be escorted out of the center of the vortex: "Princess is a precious body, there must be no mistakes, you should leave quickly."

On the other side, Yan Ruyu looked at Lou Xiyue, who was as calm as usual, in surprise, and wondered in her heart: Why isn't "Ban Xiyu" flustered at all?Why can she take the murder weapon from the assassin?

Could it be that Miss Banjia knows martial arts?
This is impossible, she is a woman from an aristocratic family, how can she know martial arts?Where is this something that a lady can do?
What happened to this Ban Xiyu?

Yan Ruyu was both surprised and puzzled, and even more ashamed of being deceived.She really wanted to have a clear argument with "Ban Xiyu", but the timing is not right now.

Princess Anning was worried that the assassin would hurt innocent people, so she pulled Yan Ruyu back: "What are you doing, don't go there. The assassin is obviously going after Princess Xuanping. If you go here now, you are not asking for your own death?"

Yan Ruyu could only back away.

At this time, the servant who was repelled by Lou Xiyue was also very surprised.His fierce eyes showed three points of astonishment: How can the daughter of the Ban family have such good martial arts skills?
She shot quickly and ruthlessly, before he could react, he was knocked down in a blink of an eye.What's even more strange is that Princess Xuanping's methods are somewhat killer.

But no matter who the new princess is, he must kill her!

The moment the killing intent emerged, Lou Xiyue's heart trembled.She glanced at the dagger that fell on the floor tiles aside, and immediately dodged forward, hooking her toes on the ground, the dagger rose into the air, and in the blink of an eye, she held the dagger in her hand.

Lou Xiyue's eyes turned cold, her arm moved her wrist, and her wrist swung the dagger, a cold light suddenly flew towards the boy!

The strong internal force pushed the sharp blade into the man's chest, and in an instant, blood stained the man's clothes.He only heard a muffled grunt, and staggered under his feet.

But he still didn't stop, he roared with all his strength, and rushed towards Lou Xiyue at the same time.

Lou Xiyue took a step back calmly, then grabbed the ankle kicked by the opponent, and then threw him into the air.At the same time, she turned around, and then raised her hand to strike out a palm! ——

The next moment, that moment was like a kite with a broken string, suddenly falling into the lake.

I only heard a loud "crash", and the water splashed everywhere.

Lou Xiyue, who was the closest, was unavoidable, and her skirt was splashed wet.

At the same time, there was a sound of eager footsteps from the garden path not far away, and then a man's voice came over: "What's going on, where is the assassin—"

Before finishing speaking, Lou Xiyue clapped her hands and turned her head to look over.

With this look, it happened to meet the gaze of the person who came up——

Lou Xiyue's mind went blank for a moment: How could she have forgotten that Fu Guan himself was also invited to the Flower Moon Banquet?

But how did he come?

Didn't he just take the official position in Dali Temple and is busy dealing with the follow-up official duties of the prefect of Pingjiang's corruption?

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiyue's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.She even forgot to breathe for a moment——

Too bad, Ban Xiyu doesn't know martial arts, isn't she exposed?
If Fu Guan wasn't here, it would be fine, but he just saw it right.

Now the sophistry has increased a lot of difficulty.

Thinking of this, Lou Xiyue lowered her head slightly.After she calmed down for a while and recovered her normal breathing, she looked at Fu Guan in surprise and said, "My lord, why are you here?"

Fu Guan put away his surprised eyes, and looked at Lou Xiyue with meaningful eyes at this time: "Princess Anning also sent an invitation to this king. And just now this king heard that there are assassins here, so I came here to take a look, but did not expect……"

He glanced at the rippling lake surface, laughed, and said, "I just didn't expect there to be such a surprise."

Fu Guan took a step forward, and Lou Xiyue took a step back.

The distance between the two narrowed slightly.

Lou Xiyue was a bit shorter than him, so she had to look up at him at this moment.And Fu Guan leaned slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear clearly:
"Before I got married, Madam didn't tell me that you know martial arts."

In an instant, Lou Xiyue frowned.

Fu Guan found out?
Lou Xiyue looked at him with a embarrassed and helpless expression, and said, "I will explain this matter to you when I get back, but there are more important things to do now—"

She looked at the assassin struggling in the lake: "The assassin seemed to be aiming at me. He first poisoned my hangover soup, and then wounded me with a dagger. I had no choice but to fight back."

Fu Guan roughly understood.

But he didn't fully believe what Lou Xiyue said.

In the next quarter of an hour, the people brought by Fu Guan quickly fished out the assassins in the lake, and at the same time questioned the ladies of the family who witnessed the "assassination" one by one.

And everyone's testimony showed one thing: no one knows who sent the assassin, let alone the reason why the assassin wanted to assassinate Lou Xiyue.

According to Princess An Ning, although the murderer was dressed like a domestic servant, the housekeeper said that the man was not in the list of domestic servants in the Princess Mansion.

In other words, the assassin sneaked into the mansion from the outside, and attempted to assassinate Lou Xiyue at the Flower Moon Banquet.

As the target of assassination, Lou Xiyue didn't know who she had offended in the capital.

She has just arrived here, and she hasn't had time to do anything out of the ordinary.

As far as the Qiu family is concerned, looking at the whole capital, Yan Ruyu is probably the only one.

But looking at Yan Ruyu's reaction, Lou Xiyue guessed that the suspicion of her and Princess Anning can be ruled out - no matter how stupid they are, they will not attack her on their own territory.

Presumably the real culprit is someone else.

Lou Xiyue looked at a crabapple in the courtyard and thought.

At this moment, several women on the other side who were waiting for questioning from the Dali Temple official were talking:
"It's really scary. How could there be assassins in such a beautiful Huayue Banquet!"

"Hey, tell me, isn't the capital a bit uneasy recently? Oh, why don't you go to the temple to seek peace."

"Stop being suspicious. This is a man-made disaster. What's the use of praying to God and worshiping Buddha. Let's wait for Dali Temple to deal with it."

"Mrs. Qiu, your official has just been promoted, and it's the time when he is proud, so he is naturally not afraid. But you don't know, it's scary that people have been missing in the capital recently."

"Missing? I've never heard of it." Mrs. Qiu said, "No one in my family has disappeared, but there is one missing item."

"Why, your house was burglarized?"

"This... I don't know too well. My master said that he lost a seal. If it is stolen, don't steal the good gold and silver treasures, steal a seal?"

"That said, it's a little strange."

……

At this time, Lou Xiyue suddenly turned her head and looked over——

seal?

Madam Qiu?
Qiu Zhi?
