"Yeah, long time no see."

Lu Ningshuang calmly stroked the man's face, twisted his jaw and looked left and right, and her thumb involuntarily pressed on the arrow wound on his jaw that was bleeding.

"In the blink of an eye, Master Baili went from being the mastermind behind the assassination to being hunted down as a stray dog.

The change was so great that it made me…”

"How about for a while?"

A pair of olive green eyes of varying shades stared at her, like two wolves ready to tease their prey, lingering behind her.

Lu Ningshuang raised her eyebrows, rubbed the blood on her fingertips, and chuckled:

"It makes me feel pity."

Even though he knew she was joking, Baili Lin was still visibly pleased after getting the answer.

The arm protecting Lu Ningshuang's waist suddenly tightened, and the other hand stroked the back of her neck, and a laugh came out of his throat:

"Then the second young lady must be kind to him!"

After saying that, he tilted his head and captured the red lips.

The soft, sweet, slightly cool feeling, as well as the pomegranate scent of lip balm interweave between the lips and teeth, becoming the only spring scenery in the cold winter months.

Baili Lin domineeringly plundered everything from the girl, but still felt it was not enough.

He pulled his arms upward with force, bent his knees and leaned against the wall, and the soft body was fixed in his arms.

The sound of uniform footsteps came from the other end of the alley. The elite troops searched inch by inch, and the tense atmosphere broke the current beauty.

Baili Lin reluctantly let go of her cherry lips and said in a hoarse voice:

"I'm sorry, Miss, you have to go with me.

If you survive, I will give you a great gift. If you die, we can live together underground!"

Baili Lin tied Lu Ningshuang's fox fur tightly, pressed her face tightly against his chest, and then pulled the cloak over her and wrapped her tightly.

"Second Miss, hold on tight!"

He held his slender waist with one hand and jumped lightly, instantly bringing together the nearby search troops, the Bingmasi troops, the Shuntianfu yamen runners, and the Dali Temple investigators—

And the assassin team hiding in the dark was taken into consideration.

"Oh, it really is a big deal!"

Baili Lin sighed lightly, spun his body and landed gracefully on the second floor.

The moment he appeared, the assassin's eyes suddenly became frighteningly bright, and he made a few gestures secretly, and more assassins appeared across the street.

Some jumped down from the beams, some climbed out of the windows, moved flexibly along the outer edge of the wall, and some stepped on the ropes hanging colorful lanterns and jumped to the other side of the street...

They arrogantly and boldly divided into three directions and surrounded them.

In order to ensure the safe entry of envoys from various countries into the capital, Emperor Mingde specially dispatched a team of imperial guards to patrol the area covered by Suzaku Street, and they responded immediately when the riots broke out.

The captain of the imperial guards, Li Younian, held his sword with his right hand and led the team with an eagle-like gaze. The moment Baili Lin appeared, he suddenly raised his head and locked onto him.

"How arrogant!"

He released signal fireworks to summon the team to gather in this direction, and then, while judging the direction in which Baili Lin was heading, he led the team to overtake him via a shortcut.

The Dali Temple runners who followed the Bingmasi to seal off the scene were the first to see the assassins who suddenly appeared after a spring rain. They decisively left two of them behind and then rushed towards the assassins together.

Whether you will be scolded at the year-end meeting or get a bonus and promotion depends on now.

"Damn assassin, where are you escaping!"

Two Shuntian Prefecture officials turned around the street corner, looked at the flares whose smoke had yet to dissipate, and then looked at the tragic scene of their superiors fighting bloodily.

"Which way should we chase?"

Wang Er swallowed and asked with difficulty.

The companion drew his sword and said righteously:

"The thief is on the run. To protect the capital's security, we should lend a helping hand to Captain Li!"

Before he could finish his words he turned and ran away.

Wang Er shouted angrily:

"Wait a minute! I also want to contribute to the security of the capital!"

……

Arrows flew down and assassins attacked from all directions unexpectedly. Baili Lin faced the siege head-on, struggling to resist with his sword in one hand.

Everything in front of Lu Ningshuang was dark and she couldn't see what was going on around her.

But the sharp and piercing sound of the swords clashing, the man's intense heartbeat and increasingly heavy breathing all revealed the danger of the moment.

Her waist had been numbed by the tightening, and the strong feeling of dizziness made her stomach churn.

Sweat was pouring out, but my limbs were so cold that my bones ached.

"Cough cough..."

Lu Ningshuang coughed uncomfortably, but a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Everyone in the mansion was watching closely, and when he went out, the maids and guards followed him closely.

At this moment, there is only Baili Lin who is outnumbered and unable to protect himself.

perhaps……

Her hands weakly loosened the clothes around the man's waist, and she thought calmly that this was the place closest to death.

Suddenly, the man took her for a spin.

"Pfft-"

The sharp blade pierced the flesh and cold wind blew in from the ears.

"Second Miss, hold on tight!"

The man spoke uninhibitedly, his hoarse voice carrying a dull and oppressive feeling.

Baili Lin kicked the assassin with his right foot, and the long sword that was stabbing from behind suddenly broke away.

He spat blood into the face of another assassin and slashed the man behind him with his sword, killing him.

Looking down, he saw that the cloak in front of him was pierced.

"Okay, okay, that's great!"

Baili Lin's smile widened, and his exotic and handsome face became particularly beautiful.

But the bloodthirstiness in his eyes made the air several degrees colder.

"Second Miss, we may really become a pair of desperate lovers!"

She did not forget to flirt even in such a critical situation. When the assassins saw this, their murderous intent became even stronger.

A strange, subtle, indistinguishable sound was heard, and Lu Ningshuang felt an inexplicable itch on her neck.

However, the assassin's terrified screams drowned out the noise, and her old illness relapsed, so she fainted before she could figure out what was going on.

……

Outside the alley, Lu Yingxue staggered to the pile of debris, bent down and picked up a gourd ornament.

The gourd is the size of an egg, with a red tassel hanging from the tail. The front is engraved with "peace" and the back is engraved with "health".

"It's her! It's her!"

Her hands were shaking as she stared at a drop of blood on the gourd, but tears blurred her vision.

"The sickly kid was right here..."

Xuan Geng stood behind Lu Yingxue with a team of palace soldiers. The Regent Xiao Churan, who had been ill for several days, leaned against a pillar with a sick face and watched her cry.

"Cough, cough..."

Covering his lips with a handkerchief, he lowered his eyes to glance at the black and red thing on the handkerchief, sighed softly, and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"Xueya, good people don't live long, but evil people last for thousands of years. Didn't you say your sister is very bad? Then she must be fine."

Not long after, Xuan Ming fell from the roof with a serious expression.

"Master, we have found out that someone assassinated the Qiang envoys when they came to Beijing. All the officials and attendants who accompanied them were killed, and the Qiang prince is nowhere to be found.

Some people in Qiang country are colluding with our country and want to get rid of the prince and cause conflicts between the two countries.

My subordinates went to the Dali Temple to check, and found that Miss Lu's body was not there. Oh, and the people from the Zhenguo Mansion are here too."
