Chapter 24 Escape from the Dead
The candlelight flickered on the table, and his attitude suddenly became ambiguous. Xuanyuan Yun couldn't believe his ears, and opened his mouth in a daze and moved closer.

The shrimps were smooth and crisp, the eyes of the girl in front of her were like a cold moon, and her thin lips were spotlessly red, as if dyed with a layer of seductive water.

Xuanyuan Yun's stomach seemed to have hundreds of butterflies fluttering and flying at the same time, his heart was up and down, he was jumping wildly and seemed to miss a few beats.

Before he finished being nervous, Su Jinluo's expression changed suddenly, and he grabbed his arm and rolled to the side, with too much force, he threw him to the ground.

"what are you doing?"

As soon as Xuanyuan Yun asked the question, he heard the guard behind him scream, and immediately drew his sword.

He immediately stood up and protected Su Jinluo behind him.

Seeing the guard clutching his arm, blood oozing from his fingers, he raised his sword subconsciously to block it, and said, "Your Highness, there is an assassin! Run!"

Xuanyuan Yun's expression changed, and he was about to rush towards the door.

Suddenly, there was a pungent smell in the air, and then, something bright like a star floated over, and all the clothes on the guard's body spontaneously ignited, screaming in pain again and again.

Only then did the assassin break through the wall and walk in.

"It's phosphorous powder!"

Phosphor powder spontaneously ignites when exposed to fire, and the decoration of Zuixian Tower is as bright as daytime. Naturally, many candles were used. When the assassin blew on it, the phosphor powder ignited when it touched the candle flame.

Su Jinluo was the first to react, no wonder, since there was no fire in Zuixianlou, but Xuanyuanyun was burnt beyond recognition, even disfigured.

As soon as she opened the window, there was a moat below, and various lanterns were floating, reflecting the stars in the black sky.

"Jump down."

"Jump down?"

Xuanyuan Yun was shocked, and the guard rushed down from between the two of them.

With a "plop", he sank into the water, a puff of smoke.

"Yes, jump down."

Su Jinluo's expression was extremely firm, and his tone was even more unrefutable.

She stepped on the window frame and jumped down, Xuanyuan Yun let go of the hand on the saber, and jumped down likewise.

The moment he threw himself into the air, a raging fire struck from behind, and the whole box instantly burst into flames.

The assassin is holding the idea of ​​dying with them!
Not hesitating to burn himself with fire, but also to kill him.

"call!"

The weather hadn't fully warmed up yet, and the river was naturally bone-chillingly cold. Su Jin gritted his teeth and groped to swim towards the shore. Finally, a second before he was about to freeze, he grabbed the riverside with his hands.

Immediately afterwards, a warm and powerful hand grabbed her wrist.

Su Jinluo was pulled up, his whole body was almost exhausted, and his body was covered with a coat that still had the warmth of that person. When he saw Qiuchun for the first time, he subconsciously asked, "Is the eldest prince okay?"

"Miss, the guards of the Su Mansion caught a few assassins at the gate, as well as people from the palace, and dispatched them all, and they have already caught them all."

Qiuchun's voice was still a little trembling, obviously frightened by the sudden situation just now.

Su Jinluo was helped back to the Zuixian Tower just like that, and all the diners inside were dispersed. Such a big incident had already alarmed the palace, and the Yulin Army alone surrounded the building in a tight circle.

"The eldest prince is fine. When he was fished out, he choked on a few mouthfuls of water because of the lack of water, so he was taken inside to change his clothes."

Qiuchun felt distressed to fetch some clothes for his young lady, and said, "Miss, I bought these from a nearby shop. I'm afraid it's not as comfortable as your usual clothes, so let's just make up for it."

"Ah."

Su Jinluo drank two sips of hot tea, his face was not so pale at last, he let out a breath of air, suddenly realized that the coat on his body was a man's coat, and asked in surprise: "Whose clothes are these?"

"its mine."

Xu Yushan put a serving of ginger tea on the table, and said, "I'll ask the kitchen to make it, drink it quickly, to get rid of the cold."

Su Jinluo shuddered, fully awake, and said, "Where did you come from?"

Xu Yushan sat down calmly, "Just now on the road, I saw the carriage of your Su Mansion running fast, and I thought it was because of the panic. It turned out that it was Miss Su who was going to meet the First Prince."

Su Jinluo frowned, and said suspiciously: "Stop making sarcastic remarks here, why are you here when such a big thing happened?"

The eldest prince was assassinated, and Xu Yushan suddenly appeared near the Zuixian Tower. If the emperor suspects that he did it, it will be a big trouble.

"Miss Su, please don't wrong me. I just came out for a stroll during the holidays, and I brought eunuchs with me. Just now, I saw the Zuixian Tower was very lively. I wanted to come over to have a glass of wine. I happened to come across you swimming from the river."

Su Jinluo pursed her lips, and after taking two sips of spicy ginger tea, her face turned slightly red, and she said, "Qiuchun, come in with me."

"Yes, ma'am."

The two chose a private room, and while Su Jinluo was changing clothes, Qiuchun said, "When Miss left the mansion today, she specially asked the butler to bring a few guards to follow her. Could it be that you knew this would happen?"

"Just in case you need it."

Su Jinluo said indifferently: "Today the Eldest Prince escaped from death, it is considered a good thing for my dynasty, I didn't help much."

"Oh."

Qiuchun helped her change her clothes, and said: "Miss, I don't know. When Lord Xu saw you on the shore, he was very anxious and almost jumped off. reputation."

"Naturally, Prince Xu and I are half friends."

"But... I think the First Prince seems to be very..."

Qiuchun hesitated, Su Jinluo guessed what she wanted to say, and said: "Do you think the eldest prince fell in love with me at first sight? Qiuchun, don't be stupid, a man's sudden love is ultimately just a matter of sex." Forget it, don’t take it seriously.”

"Miss!" Qiuchun exclaimed, "You can't talk nonsense."

After changing clothes and pulling up the curtain to go out, the hall outside was already full of people.

Xuanyuan Lang's expression was gloomy, while the shopkeeper stood at one side and bent over to promise, not daring to show his air.

It seems that the training has been finished, Su Jinluo looked up, where is Xu Yushan?
"Miss Su."

Xuanyuan Yun's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"fine."

Su Jinluo calmly withdrew the hand held by him, "Your Highness, your bodyguard just now, is it back?"

"It has been sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Don't worry, there will be no fear of life."

"Your Highness, forgive me." Su Jinluo suddenly apologized, and said: "The little girl didn't know that His Highness is not good at water, so what she did just now is really offensive."

"What's the crime?"

Xuanyuan Lang's heart was surging, no matter what he did in the box just now, or Su Jinluo's willingness to sacrifice his life to save him, all of them verified his conjecture.

If Su Jinluo didn't care about himself, why did he bother to do this?Don't even care about your life?

Xuanyuan Lang couldn't wait for a moment, and was about to ask her about her thoughts when a "report" came from behind.
