Chapter 384 An assassin enters the house

"Old concubine, it's windy outside, you should just go back to the house." Xiao Qingqing stepped forward and helped the old concubine.

"I don't know what will happen to the prince outside. In this battle, he will always be injured. His previous illness has just recovered. He can finally stand up and has to go to the battlefield again." The old lady sighed.

Although she was used to Feng Molin often going to the battlefield in the past, she was not worried that time.

Now that she finally had the news that her second son was alive, she didn't want to lose Feng Molin again.

"Old concubine, the prince will be fine. We will pray for him in the palace and wait for his return." Xiao Qingqing persuaded.

After Xiao Qingqing's unremitting efforts to persuade, the old concubine agreed to return to the house.

After finally getting the old concubine to sleep, Xiao Qingqing returned to the house and lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

She stared at the top of the bed. The night was so quiet that it was scary. In the past, she could chat with Feng Molin from time to time. Although Feng Molin spent most of the time reading and dealing with government affairs, he would still respond to her.

But this time, she looked in the direction of the desk. It was no longer there. The room had become empty at some point. She seemed to hear the echo when she sighed now.

She wanted to sleep so she wouldn't have to think so much, but when she closed her eyes, all she could think of was Feng Molin.

Xiao Qingqing stood up in frustration and looked at the starry sky outside the window, looking even more lonely.

Looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, she suddenly felt for some reason that she seemed to care more about Feng Molin and seemed to like him a little.

The corners of Xiao Qingqing's mouth rose unconsciously, and she was praying for his safety in her heart.

One night passed, Xiao Qingqing had breakfast, and was a little curious about where Feng Molin was traveling at this time, and whether he encountered anything on the way.

After a while, I heard Manager Chen say that Murong Jing and Yue Pei were here.

Xiao Qingqing hurriedly invited people in.

With the arrival of the two men, the originally deserted palace became lively.

Murong Jing was very excited when she saw Xiao Qingqing. She stepped forward and took her hand, not forgetting to present the gift she brought.

"Replenish your last gift." Murong Jing said, then looked around the palace as if looking for something, and then said, "When I came here, I heard that the prince went on an expedition and left last night. Is this true?"

Since this matter was not widely publicized, Feng Molin also led the army to leave in the middle of the night. Very few people knew about it, but because of the huge commotion last night, I think many people in the capital knew about it.

Yue Pei also immediately stepped forward to wait for Xiao Qingqing's answer.

Xiao Qingqing nodded: "It's true, he left last night."

"Oh, I left so suddenly. I didn't even know about such a big event as the war. I regret not following him." Yue Pei sighed and wished he could catch up with the large army now.

Xiao Qingqing looked helpless at their depressed looks: "Why do you look so hopeful for a war? Although I know that you want to make great achievements and make some contributions, war is not a child's play, and the people who suffer the most are the people. .”

"At the same time, there are those soldiers. They are also the children of ordinary people and the fathers of some children. How many of them survived nine deaths on the battlefield? The battlefield is cruel. We should not expect war. We should not step on it. Built on the bodies of so many people.”

Xiao Qingqing educated the two of them, but did not understand their thoughts.

The two people who just had regrets on their faces now felt a little more ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Princess, I just spoke out of control." Yue Pei apologized for being irrational just now.

"War is to protect the people you want to protect, not to destroy families." Xiao Qingqing expressed her own opinion.

Both of them agreed.

When Murong Jing was about to speak, she suddenly turned around with a solemn expression and threw a flying knife towards the door. Yue Pei also drew his sword and looked at the door warily.

I saw a group of men in black pouring in from the door of the mansion, and Murong Jing just killed one of them with the flying knife.

"You are so courageous. You and I can break into the Beihuang Prince's Palace!" Murong Jing shouted coldly, took out her sword and flew forward to fight with those men in black.

Yue Pei was not willing to be outdone.

The guards in the mansion also came out, but those men in black were extremely skilled, and the guards were no match for the men in black.

Xiao Qingqing looked at this scene with cold eyes, and the poison was already ready in her hand.

When the men in black saw Xiao Qingqing standing not far away, they all wanted to get closer, but Murong Jing and the others did not give them a chance.

A man in black was lucky enough to get around the two of them, but before he could get close to Xiao Qingqing, several secret guards suddenly appeared.

Those were the secret guards left by Feng Molin to protect Xiao Qingqing and the palace.

These secret guards are all wind-charactered secret guards. They are related to the wind. They are naturally very powerful in martial arts and can repel these men in black in a matter of seconds.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black also hurriedly fled.

At this time, the palace was full of corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

After repelling the men in black, the secret guards hid in the dark to protect them.

"Oh my god, these assassins are so brave. They dare to be so blatant in broad daylight. Who are they looking for trouble?" Murong Jing sheathed her sword and looked at the corpses on the ground in confusion. At the same time, she asked with concern, "Princess, are you okay?"

These men in black were obviously coming for Xiao Qingqing.

Xiao Qingqing smiled and responded calmly: "It's okay, I'm not injured. Are you okay? Thank you just now."

Seeing how calm Xiao Qingqing was from beginning to end, Murong Jing asked doubtfully: "Princess, you must have expected this, right?"

Xiao Qingqing did not deny it and nodded: "I just didn't expect you two to come and involve you."

Murong Jing and Murong Jing breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Xiao Qingqing had already planned it.

"The princess is out of town, as long as you are fine," Murong Jing said.

"Now that the prince has left, I'm afraid these people will come again. Why don't I stay in the palace to protect the safety of the princess." Yue Pei suggested.

Since you can't go to the battlefield and defend your home and country, you can stay here and at least protect Xiao Qingqing.

Upon hearing this, Murong Jing also begged to stay.

"As long as you are not afraid of danger, then stay." Xiao Qingqing did not refuse, at least the house can be more lively.

The two of them were naturally willing to do so.

Yue Pei watched the guards in the palace cleaning up the corpses on the ground and suggested: "Princess, today's assassination is not a trivial matter. It can't be done by people in the palace alone. Why not inform Jing Zhaoyin about the matter and let the government people investigate it thoroughly?" If we deal with this matter, there will be less trouble in the future."

Perhaps those assassins would not dare to be so blatant when they saw that the government officials were involved.

Murong Jing also nodded in agreement with Yue Pei's point of view.

Xiao Qingqing smiled and nodded: "Of course I have to inform you, but it's not your method."
