Chapter 5

Naturally, one cannot climb the window when going back, Haoyue took a step behind, followed Su Hailing silently, and turned to the main entrance on the other side.

It seems that we have to find a way to get out of the palace as soon as possible. As Su Hailing walked, she was thinking secretly. She is not a little girl who can be locked in a cage at ease. Although it is still uncertain whether she can return to modern times, even if Not for the sake of the mission, she couldn't bear to wait until the coming-of-age ceremony was completed in two years before leaving the palace and opening the house.

As Haoyue walked, she quietly looked at her raised hair. Of course he knew the purpose of the empress sending him here, but...why is this princess so...different from the image in his memory?
The two were thinking about their own things, but neither of them spoke.

Turning a corner, a gust of cool wind came head-on, causing the leaves to shake violently.

Su Hailing raised his head, his heart tightened for no reason.The intuitive sense of danger developed from years of walking between life and death let her know that the situation was not right.

"Your Highness, be careful!" Haoyue suddenly took a few steps forward and pulled her behind with one hand.

"What's wrong?" Su Hailing quickly suppressed the light in his eyes, showing a bewildered expression.

Haoyue ignored her, pressed her sword and focused her attention, and listened for a while, then suddenly jumped up without warning, and rushed towards a big tree like lightning.

"Zheng!" With the crisp sound of metal and iron, a black figure jumped out from among the lush branches and leaves, like a wisp of light smoke, strangely avoided Haoyue's sword, and floated onto the roof.

"Want to run? No way!" Haoyue snorted coldly, tiptoed a little on the tree, and borrowed new strength to catch up closely.

The man in black didn't seem to want to fight him, he only used lightness kung fu to avoid it, and wanted to run out whenever there was a gap.

Haoyue's sword was tighter than the other, gradually narrowing the range of the sword's power, and the situation of the man in black became even more difficult.

"Lie!" It seemed that a drop-shaped object fell down.

"Blood?" Su Hailing picked some up with his fingers and quickly identified it.So he was injured?But... this live version is much better than martial arts movies!There was a sly smile on her lips, she cleared her throat, and shouted: "Come~ people~ ah~~~ there are assassins!"

She deliberately used a trace of true energy, causing the voice to be sent far away in the night sky. It was as if a drop of water fell into boiling oil and immediately exploded. Not only the guards arranged by Haoyue, but also the nearby sergeants, The palace guards rushed over here.

"Over there! Catch him!" The first few guards who arrived first glanced at each other, and they rushed up to the roof together, catching him from both sides.

"Where is the assassin? Hurry up! Follow up!" After a while, several teams of patrolling sergeants broke in. The torches were brightly lit in the originally quiet Chaoyang Palace, and there were only a few figures.

Su Hailing took a few steps back, letting his body hide in the shadow of the beams and columns of the corridor.

Well, lively enough, heartfelt enough!Everyone rushed to catch the assassin, but no one thought of protecting her assassinated master?
"Get out of the way!" Haoyue shouted angrily.

"This person is the assassin's accomplice who assassinated His Majesty. As the commander of the palace guards, I have the responsibility to take him down!" Another woman with a gloomy face refused to give in, and deliberately bumped Haoyue's body several times during the fight. sword.

"You..." Haoyue couldn't help feeling bitter secretly.He didn't mean to fight for merit, but judging from the assassin's tactics last night, he should be very good at getting out of the chaos, and the current situation is really not good.

"Look at the hidden weapon!" The man in black suddenly shouted, throwing a few silver bullets in all directions.

"A man?" Su Hailing, who was watching the battle, was stunned.Didn't it mean that men in the world of women should keep their wives and teach their daughters at home?This is great, bolder than a woman!
"Don't touch it!" Haoyue said urgently.

"Small tricks!" The woman slapped those unpleasant marbles away with a casual palm.

Unexpectedly, before she finished speaking, the bullet that was shot by her exploded with a "boom", and suddenly, the roof was covered by a thick white smoke for a radius of more than ten meters.

Haoyue reacted the quickest, she immediately retracted her sword and protected herself first.After all, in such a blind environment, assassins are alone and have nothing to worry about, but they have to beware of hurting their own people by swinging their swords casually!

Su Hailing, who saw this scene in the distance, shrugged and let out a sigh of relief.

Yes, she did it on purpose!
Intentionally creating such a chaotic situation to let the assassin escape, otherwise as long as she doesn't call for help, the guards arranged by Haoyue will naturally cooperate with each other, and the assassin will have absolutely no chance to escape from Haoyue's hands.

"Whether you can escape or not depends on how smart you are." Su Hailing said to himself, regardless of the chaos in the garden, he quietly slipped back into the palace.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, as long as you are fine!" Zimo Hongchen pounced on her from left to right, hanging on her body, and then touched her with four arms, almost taking off her clothes to check if she was injured.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine, I haven't lost a single hair." Su Hailing pushed them away angrily and funny, but he was slightly moved in his heart.

"The guard said that there are assassins coming outside, so we are not allowed to go out and cause trouble. Is Your Highness okay?" Zi Mo asked worriedly.

"Really, really, it's more real than pearls!" Su Hailing raised his hand and knocked on his head, and walked to his own dormitory inside, saying, "The commotion outside should subside soon, let's go to sleep .”

"Zi Mo waits for His Highness to sleep." Zi Mo hurriedly followed.

"No need." Su Hailing frowned, but met his eyes still full of fear and worry, and shook his head helplessly, "You two stay here, if Haoyue comes later, bring him over, if there are still For others, let that person wait and talk!"

"Yes, Zi Mo knows." Zi Mo lowered his head, depressed and authentic.

"That's good." Su Hailing habitually used the tone he used to deal with Su Mo.

Just as the two stayed together, her figure had disappeared behind the gauze curtain.

"Hong Chen, why... Your Highness isn't like His Highness anymore?" After a while, Zi Mo asked in confusion.

"Isn't such a highness better?" Hong Chen smiled slightly, and didn't care about his nonsensical words.

"...That's right. As long as it's His Highness!" Zi Mo thought for a while and became happy.

The voices outside the window gradually quieted down.

"Should it be over?" Su Hailing said to himself, and pushed open the door.

At this moment, her thoughts moved, just like when she found the assassin hiding aside, almost without thinking, she suddenly lowered her head and rushed into the house.

It was too late, but soon, a bright knife light passed over her head, and a few strands of hair fell.

Su Hailing rushed to the window in a few steps, but unexpectedly, the man's movements in the darkness were surprisingly fast. He closed the door with one foot, and the man was ahead of him, slashing the dagger towards her throat fiercely.

"You can't escape from the palace even if you kill me." Su Hailing said while moving quickly to dodge.

The man was silent, only attacking fiercely.

Originally, this kind of close combat is what Su Hailing is best at, but now she has not yet mastered the sense of coordination of this new body, coupled with the fact that she is unarmed, it is dangerous to meet her after a few encounters.

Suddenly, her foot stumbled on the bed frame, her center of gravity was unstable, and she sat down on the bed all at once. The man raised the dagger and stabbed it down without hesitation.

At this moment, Su Hailing was extremely calm. With a soft drink, he grabbed his wrist with both hands, and the sharp sword stopped two inches above her face, and just froze like that.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Hong Chen's puzzled voice came from outside the door.

"Don't play tricks." The man pressed his whole body on her body, stopped her movements, and warned in a low voice, "It's just two servants, even if they come in, they will kill two more lives!"

With the reflection of the dagger, Su Hailing could also see his face clearly. Although he was covered by a black cloth and couldn't see his face, those eyes were radiant and shining like stars in the night sky.

"Didn't I say that I don't need you to serve me?" Su Hailing raised his voice and dismissed the world of mortals, but smiled again.

"What are you laughing at!" the man said angrily.

"How do you say, I helped you just now, so there's no need to repay my kindness like this?" Su Hailing deliberately bit the word "kindness" very hard.

"Why?" he asked relentlessly.

"I don't want you to fall into the queen's hands, how about we make a deal?" Su Hailing said, and let go of his hand.

Sure enough, the man in black didn't take the opportunity to put her to death. Instead, he put away his dagger, but his eyes were still full of warning: "What's your purpose?"

"It's just an exchange of benefits, how about it?" Su Hailing looked at him confidently, although...their posture of negotiating while lying on the bed is really weird.

The man in black stared at her for a while, and finally uttered a word: "Say."

"It's very simple..." Su Hailing just uttered three words, suddenly his face changed slightly, and he hugged his waist and rolled into the bed.

"You..." The person in the arms was ashamed and angry, just about to scold, but his mouth was covered.

"Someone is here, don't talk!" Su Hailing grabbed the quilt and covered him, then took off his coat and put it on the edge of the bed to cover the bloodstains he left during the confrontation between the two just now, and finally put down the bed curtain.

"Your Highness, Haoyue asks to see you." Just after all this was done, Haoyue's voice sounded at the door.
