The King of Thieves: The Thief Princess

Chapter 53 (56)

"Here is the emperor's bedroom." During the fall, Mingyue stopped and hid in the dark, pointing to a quiet and dark palace in the right corner.Pulling Xing'er, she rushed down like a light smoke.

In the spacious bedroom, it was pitch-black and eerily quiet, filled with a piercing chill.

"The emperor... didn't come back..." Xing'er couldn't restrain the tension and excitement in her heart, her eyes were shining brightly, staring at the dazzling yellow veil, flashing with excitement.Mingyue said: "Quickly act!"

But Xing'er stood in the center, looking at the whole palace, not moving. "Where are you still doing? Waiting to die?" Mingyue looked back and saw her confused face, couldn't help but spit coldly.

"Mingyue, tell me... where the emperor will hide the silkworm clothes..." Xing'er frowned thoughtfully, muttering to herself.Mingyue's eyes lit up as she stared at her, and she immediately understood!

The most dangerous place is also the safest place!With a tacit understanding, the two rushed towards the same direction.

Behind the dragon chair, that tall mahogany cabinet!
The two stared closely at the wooden cabinet, and couldn't help but glance at each other, their foreheads were covered with dense cold sweat.With trembling hands, Xing'er fumbled for the dark button lightly.As long as the mechanism is turned on, maybe the Silkworm Thread Clothes will be inside!

Regardless of whether it is true or not, whether it exists or not, we must gamble on it!
Xing'er groped back and forth, and when her fingertips touched a slightly convex spot in the darkness, she was instantly ecstatic.Without thinking, I pressed down hard...

Bell, bell, bell... A burst of sharp bells rang out, tearing through the quiet and cold night sky like a ghost, echoing faintly and endlessly in every corner of the palace.

In an instant, the entire imperial palace burst into flames, swarming from all directions.

Mingyue and Xing'er were frightened out of their wits, their minds were torn apart, their faces were bloodless, they looked at each other, but they couldn't say a word! "Escape..." Mingyue was stunned for a long while, and weakly burst out the word from between her teeth.

The two rushed out with lightning speed and grabbed the eaves.Whoosh!A sharp arrow is as fast as a shooting star, coming through the sky!With lightning speed, it shot into Xing'er's arm, and bright red blood gushed out, staining his sleeves.

Lines of figures surrounded him, it was as bright as day, and everything could be seen clearly.I saw a tall and steady figure standing in front of the fire, wearing a crimson red robe, holding a longbow, staring at the panic-stricken person on the eaves with cold and stern eyes, as sharp as lightning.

"Pain..." Xing'er staggered and held down the arrow wound, bleeding profusely.The pain of drilling made her drenched in cold sweat and unable to breathe.

Mingyue was too frightened, and dragged her so that she didn't dare to stay for a moment, soared into the sky, and swept towards the darkness... "Chasing!" The man screamed angrily, jumped up, and chased after them in the direction where they disappeared.

The two were not familiar with the terrain, so they turned around and couldn't get out.Xing'er was in unbearable pain, and her mind gradually became confused. Mingyue was extremely anxious, and in a panic, she got behind a rockery.

In the narrow and turbid hole, the two of them squeezed together, their breathing was rapid and messy, and they were so close, it was hard to hide each other's horror and palpitations. "Mingyue...it hurts..." Cold sweat drenched Xing'er's heavy clothes and hair, dripping drop by drop, and she moaned.

Mingyue tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, forced herself to be calm, stared at the sharp arrow deep in her arm, and said in a deep voice: "Hold it, I will help you pull it out..." She held the cold arrow shaft firmly with her hand, The boy's face turned pale with fright, and he had fits of shock, it's no wonder he didn't die of pain when he pulled it out like this!
