away from the heart

Chapter 4
The full moon hangs high, and the outline of a pavilion gradually appears under the moonlight.Chuyue ran panting, accidentally tripped, dropped a shoe, and didn't bother to pick it up.As she ran, she murmured in her heart: Heaven is open.It's only a few steps away, I still have to take Taoyao out of the palace to live a happy life, watch the stars ask for a wife to give birth to my nephew and niece to play, and meet my Mr. Guan Shan, don't let me This flowery life is ruined here!

But the more I am afraid of something, the more something will happen.A few black shadows flashed in the bushes, just like in the dream, each with a sword in their hand, instantly surrounded her.Seeing that someone was about to pounce on her and strangle her throat, Chuyue's heart froze, she took out the scissors that she had been touching for a long time from her arms, and laid them on her neck: "Don't come here! Who are you guys?!"

An assassin who seemed to be the leader came forward from behind, his face was covered with a black scarf, only his eyes were exposed, with a sly and cold light shining: "Princess Chuyue, let's capture it without a fight."

Chuyue felt that her legs were weak, so she forced herself to be calm and snapped: "I told you to get out of the way! Otherwise..." With a little more force in her hand, the sharp scissors immediately left a bloodstain on her neck.

In the dark place of Guoxi Pavilion, there is a figure hidden at this time.It is also a man in night clothes, with a tall body.The man looked at Chuyue and sneered in his heart: She really dares to attack, this princess is quite courageous.But the woman in the deep palace has never experienced any danger, and she didn't notice that another assassin had quietly walked around behind her, ready to clamp her down.

She appeared in Guoxi Pavilion at this time, she must have been involved in that incident.At this moment, her life cannot tolerate any mistakes, and she must take action.

Chuyue panicked so much that her palms were sweaty, and she was so slippery that she almost couldn't hold the scissors.Suddenly, there was only a buzzing sound of the sword, and a long knife came through the air.A figure flew out from nowhere, and in a blink of an eye, the two assassins had been brought down and stood in front of her.

Who is this?Chuyue didn't recognize this figure from behind, and she couldn't make out his face because the other person covered his face.I saw the comer wrestling with a group of assassins, with long knives flying in his hands, his moves were fast and ruthless, the sounds of swords and swords were heard all around, but no one could get close to him for a while.

The scissors in Chuyue's hand fell to the ground with a bang.This back guarded her tightly, the sword was isolated, and the shadow of death seemed to have dissipated.Could it be... this is the hero I was destined to fall from the sky to save me from danger?

Out of the corner of his eye, a cold light suddenly caught sight of the assassin, taking advantage of the chaos and shooting a dark dart, which was about to hit the empty door of the hero.Chuyue didn't have time to think about it, so she took a step and stood beside the hero.The dart hit her shoulder, and before she could cry out the pain, everything in front of her eyes became blurred.

This dart is probably poisonous...the hero...seemed to have a strong arm around her waist.Chuyue exhausted her last bit of strength and looked up.The hero is still by her side, revealing a pair of eyes that are as bright as distant stars in the sky. Is the twinkle in these eyes a trace of anxiety?She didn't come up with an answer, and fell into a coma completely.

The man in black was protecting Chuyue who was unconscious with one hand, his movements were hindered, and he suddenly felt that his hand was tight and he was going to be unable to hold on.Accidentally, the mask was picked up by the leading assassin.When the assassin saw the face of the man in black, horror appeared in his eyes: "Xue Mu?!"

Human voices sounded in the distance, accompanied by torches lit up in bits and pieces.The movement of the fight attracted the patrolling guards in the palace. It seems that today's action can only stop here.The leading assassin reluctantly gestured to retreat, and all the assassins stopped immediately, and immediately disappeared into the darkness without a trace.

Half of Chuyue's clothes were already stained with blood.The man in black tore off her clothes, exposing her shoulders, and saw that the poison dart had penetrated deeply, the wound was blue, and black blood was flowing out.So vicious!If I don't save her now, I'm afraid she will lose her life soon.

He gritted his teeth, lowered his head, sucked some poisonous blood from Chuyue's wound and spat it out.The guards are only a few steps away, and there are many of them.In the flames, everyone surrounded a bright yellow figure.The emperor is here?
Everyone flocked to him, and from a distance, they could only see the assassin in black with his face masked, embracing a beautiful woman in a palace dress in his arms, and still buried his head between the woman's neck.Luo Ji, the commander of the guards, rushed forward, and recognized the woman as Princess Chuyue, who often wandered around the palace at night, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Bold thief, let go of the princess!" The archer shot a round of feathered arrows, The man in black hugged Chuyue, unable to dodge in time, and was shot straight in the shoulder.He picked up the scissors on the ground and threw them at the emperor.The crowd rushed up to escort them, and in the blink of an eye, the man in black had disappeared.
