On How to Correctly Seek Vengeance from the Sick Beauty

That night.

The full moon hangs high, and the splendor shines brightly.

Shen Lingyuan quietly slipped out of the Lingxiao Pavilion with his face covered, and walked under the eaves into the Yunxuan grove.

Although the actor's hall will still lock the door at midnight, but under the high-intensity work for several days, there are often unlucky people who can't finish the work and stay on the construction site overnight. Bypassing the guards and sneaking into Lanxuan when the heavily armored soldiers change shifts at noon.

Because Shen Lingyuan was familiar with the structure of the garden, Shen Lingyuan was not slow to move, and he passed through the grove in a short while, and arrived at a long-abandoned wing.

The place is gloomy and the field of vision is limited. The pace of Shen Lingyuan's feet has slowed down. When his nerves are tense, he suddenly feels a gust of cold wind, and there is a small sound of friction. Shen Lingyuan's whole body is instinctively driven forward , right, tilt, oblique.

A three-edged dart passed his neck at an extremely tricky angle, and fell to the ground, but the sound of rubbing against his ears didn't stop, but got closer and closer.

When the Qianjun shot, Shen Lingyuan took his left foot as the axis, and with the help of inertia, he turned half a circle to the left, leaned back, and another dart would pass by his nose.

The attack did not continue. The young man subconsciously wiped it with his left hand, and his fingertips were stained with blood. Fortunately, the wound was at the base of the ear and did not hurt the blood.

This is not the first time Shen Lingyuan has come into contact with assassination, but it is the first time that he is infinitely close to death.

In the past, he had Lu Xiao, his father, and many people by his side to protect him.

But now, he can only rely on himself.

In order to avoid the Qing'an Hall in the east where the crowds gathered, Shen Lingyuan walked in the dark almost close to the secluded warehouse in the garden on the west side.

He is currently at a fork in the road, the front right is Banyue Lake and the rockery leading to the inner courtyard, the left front is a few dense old cypress trees, and there is a quiet path leading to the Begonia Garden.

Both directions are good places to hide, and there is no way to know where the enemy is. On the contrary, he is the best target when he is exposed to the moonlight.

Shen Lingyuan could only choose to retreat slowly step by step, hoping to use the warehouse behind him to hide.

Since he could see through that person's tricks, it proved that his skills were not superb. If he got close to him, Shen Lingyuan might not have no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, the boy's one-eyed glanced around at the fastest frequency, his ears were raised to listen carefully, and his feet were quieted as much as possible, until the whole person was covered by the shadow of the house behind him.

There was infinite silence all around, only I could hear my somewhat rapid breathing.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "plop", the sound of something falling into the water, Shen Lingyuan reacted immediately, shrank himself, and ran towards the lake next to the short shadow under the eaves of the warehouse on the right.

The distance is not too far, but under the cover of the rockery, the calm lake is still rippling with circles of ripples, and the reflected full moon is decomposed into silver ripples.

A black figure stood on the stone bridge, and turned around the moment Shen Lingyuan poked his head out to observe.

Against the light, the boy could only see that the man was tall and slender, and the silver mask on his face was shining coldly against the background of the full moon.

He was discovered in a short while, which was far different from Shen Lingyuan's expected opponent. Before he could react, the shadow in the distance had already spotted his target and started to act.

The man in black turned over and got off the bridge lightly, running extremely fast. Shen Lingyuan knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to take out his dagger to resist.

From a long distance, a long barbed whip was thrown down on the head, and the collision with the dagger made a 'ding' sound, and the difference in strength could be seen at a glance.

However, when he first came into contact with Shen Lingyuan, he couldn't control it anymore, and half knelt on the ground.

The man was merciless in his strikes, and he turned over with his strength when he couldn't get a blow. The long whip spun in his hand, and the next moment it turned into a sweeping whip, hitting Shen Lingyuan's front directly.

The young man had no choice but to lean back and block with a dagger in the above-mentioned manner. The long whip was forced to deviate from the track, and the barb at the tip cut open his sleeve, leaving an inch-long bloodstain.

Shen Lingyuan barely got up, stared at the black clothes warily, and at the same time looked for an opportunity to escape, but found that the opponent stopped for some reason, and there seemed to be a little confusion in the eyes behind the mask.

At this moment, a gray signal bomb exploded near Lan Xuan's location, and the slender figure with the silver face cast a last glance at him, shook his hands and closed his whip, ignored Shen Lingyuan at all, and rushed towards the direction of the signal.

The black shadow gradually disappeared in the darkness, Shen Lingyuan's hanging heart finally let go, lifted the veil and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

He could tell that the person just now was a woman, quick in movement but not strong, otherwise he could fly into the lake with just one blow.

These days, he learned from the six people that there are currently the lowest rank six guards like the boss and the second in the Hou's mansion, who are mainly responsible for daytime protection.

There are also entourage guards like Robbers, who mainly deal with those so-called knights in the rivers and lakes, who are actually cannon fodder who are greedy for rewards and come to die.

In addition, there is also a very mysterious guard group without grades. They are headed by a man named Shadow, and they are directly under Shen Yanqing's orders. They are all dressed in black and wear silver masks. There are both men and women, but there are not many in number. , often haunts at night, carrying out secret missions.

They have a name that is not very famous - night ride.

Now that I think about it carefully, this is the place where the sixth-rank guards are responsible, and there is no one on duty at night.The woman should have returned from the west gate after completing the mission, and happened to meet him, and it was not the same person who attacked her before.

As for the unlucky guy who threw the dart, it was probably just a few ripples on the lake.

Cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel.

They looked very much like their master, Shen Yanqing.

Just as he was thinking, a sense of powerlessness suddenly flooded his body, Shen Lingyuan looked down at his wrist, and the insignificant bloodstain was faintly purple.

"No, her long whip is actually poisonous!"

No wonder she dared to let herself go straight away!

Shen Lingyuan stood up with difficulty, he looked around, took a closer look, gritted his teeth and rolled into the nearest courtyard.

Shen Lingyuan was very naughty when he was a naive child.Knowing that there was a restricted area in the Hou Mansion where no one was allowed to go, he still couldn't bear his curiosity, so he sneaked into the forbidden Begonia Garden at dusk one day, and climbed up the courtyard wall clumsily.

I thought it would be a barren place, but what I saw was a boy sitting under the old locust tree in the courtyard, turning the pages of a book intently.

The fingers are white and slender.

Quiet and elegant.

Shen Lingyuan searched through all the words stored in his mind, and finally found a decent idiom to describe it.

He could swear that he had never seen such a beautiful person before, and he was so stunned for a moment, forgetting that he was still on the wall, leaning forward and falling down, gnawing on the mud.

It was a very embarrassing thing, but when I was blushing, I heard the person's slight laughter, and for a moment I forgot what shame was, and I felt a clear stream rushing into my heart, staring at him blankly.

The boy just smiled lightly, then pulled him under the crabapple tree, took out the medicine box, and gently bandaged him.

Just like it is now.

Shen Lingyuan opened his eyes with difficulty. When it was blurry, he could only see a white shadow and a pair of beautiful peach eyes.

"Brother Yan Qing..." He unconsciously called softly.

"You, what did you say?" Hong Huan suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

The crisp female voice awakened Shen Lingyuan's sanity, and Shen Lingyuan woke up instantly. When he looked up, he saw the sweaty little girl holding a knife in one hand and her wrist in the other, obviously scraping his flesh to detoxify him.

The same white clothes, the same crabapple tree, but different people.

In Shen Lingyuan's eyes, a trace of unknown emotion quietly disappeared.

Hong Huan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, and lowered his head as if evading, "I didn't carry a medicine bag with me, so I can only give you the medicine when I go back to the actor's hall at night. As for now, I must use this most primitive method to control toxins." If it spreads, it will hurt a little, so bear with it."

When Shen Lingyuan was in a coma, most of the carrion had been scraped away, and now only the finishing work was left. The little girl looked submissive, but she was very experienced when using a knife, steady, accurate, and ruthless. Not a lot.

Soon, the toxin was gone, and Hong Huan tore off the white cloth from her skirt to carefully bandage Shen Lingyuan's wound.

"Okay, you..." Hong Huan raised her head with a smile, met Shen Lingyuan's eyes, but couldn't say a word after that.

Shen Lingyuan turned away, pulled out the hand held by the red ring without any trace, and said softly: "Sorry."

After saying that, he got up and left without looking back.

"No, it doesn't matter." Hong Huan looked at his back without feeling lost, her beautiful eyes glowed with water, she saw clearly just now, but the affection and sadness in those eyes did not belong to her at all. of.

After staring at the gate for a long time, Hong Huan slowly squatted down to clean up the traces left by the bone scraping. Just as she was about to leave, she found a familiar figure at the door.

"Pei, Pei'er." Hong Huan saw the person calling softly.

Lu Pei stared at Hong Huan as if catching a traitor: "Ah Huan, aren't we resting today? Why are you here again?"

Hong Huan's eyes dodged: "I, I was called by Brother Hu to do some other things."

Lu Pei snorted coldly, and immediately exposed it: "Don't lie, I saw it all, that man just came out of the yard."

Hong Huan was obviously a little flustered and didn't know what to say: "Pei'er, I, I..."

Lu Pei turned her head back, slightly annoyed: "What are you, what's so good about that person? Is it worth your risk?"

Hong Huan is not born to be a sharp-tongued person, so he can't say anything about the green pendant, so he can only deny it: "I don't have one."

Seeing that her friend had known this before, Lupei could only sigh, held Honghuan's hand and persuaded, "Honghuan, His Royal Highness is on good terms with Lord Hou, and specially asked us to take good care of him, but entering the mansion is so I haven't seen Lord Hou for a long time, I know I'm mediocre in appearance, but you are different, don't use your mind on the wrong person!"

The red ring looked at the hot eyes of the green pendant, and dodged subconsciously: "But, Pei'er, do you really think that His Royal Highness is on good terms with Lord Hou? If it is true, how could you not know that Lord Hou likes men? ?”

Lu Pei was slightly stunned, and then said: "His Royal Highness is not Prince Rui who goes in and out of Flower Street and Willow Lane all the year round, besides, there is no difference between men and women, as long as it can make Lord Hou happy!"

Hong Huan hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, only nodded under the burning gaze of Lu Pei.

"That's right. Remember, you and I are the only ones in this entire theater. We don't know whether Lu Hui is Prince Rui's man or someone from the palace, but the only thing we can be sure of is, For me, everyone else is an enemy except you!"

While talking, the two left the Wantang Yard, but they didn't notice that the two shadows standing on the roof heard their conversation clearly.

"Tsk, I really don't know if they are here to serve you or..." the candied girl said as she glanced at the man in white beside her, and patted her small medicine bag.

"Hehe, at this age, it's inevitable that you're in love." Shen Yanqing looked at Hong Huan's back and said softly.

The author has something to say:

Shen Lingyuan's style name was Zihui, and he took Lu Xiao's surname as Lu Hui.
