Chapter 13 I...I just want to help...

The lake was tumbling, and the water was splashing. Dozens of figures soared into the sky like bamboo shoots. They were wearing black robes, black scarves on their faces, holding cold bloodthirsty long swords, and surrounded the light boats on the lake.

"There are assassins, protect Your Highness!"

The Beisi Shadow Guards who were hiding in the dark appeared quietly like ghosts. They all protected the light boat and confronted the killers indifferently.

The wind blew the ripples on the lake, and it was unknown whose sword light pierced whose sword shadow first, blood splashed, and life and death were but an instant.

The boatman who was shaking the wooden paddle had already fallen to the ground and died. His body was still half lying on the bow of the boat and bleeding. A lonely soul on the Nether River.

Mei Zhuoxue picked up the teacup and sipped the tea in the midst of the bloody massacre, where the corpses were floating. The killer was killed and the shadow guard was injured. None of these things seemed to be as important as blowing the warm tea in his hand.

Hua Zuili didn't have this kind of leisure and elegance. She had already started to take precautions when these killers appeared, and even had an idea.

She silently turned a silver chopstick next to the pastry on the table, pointed it at one of the Beisi shadow guards who was fighting with the killer, flicked her fingertips, and shot it fiercely.

The shadow guard was raising his hand to resist the stabbing long sword, and suddenly felt something galloping towards him behind him, his eyes were sharp, and he dodged sideways. It was at this moment that the situation changed.

The assassin rushed towards Mei Zhuoxue quickly, and the rest of the Beisi shadow guards were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly turned around and stabbed the assassin who was about to assassinate. A gap appeared in the original protective circle, and more killers swarmed up.

The sound of clashing swords and swords began to sound on the deck of the cabin. Hua Zuili knew martial arts, but 'Hua Chengyun' did not know martial arts. The punches and kicks before were all done in private. Now in front of the Lord, no matter what Be restrained.

She pretended to be panicked and dodged the killer, but at the same time, she used skillful efforts to influence the judgment of the shadow guard, and gradually led the killer to Mei Zhuoxue who was still drinking tea leisurely.

Mei Zhuoxue has a special physique, and it is very possible that she will not be invaded by all kinds of poisons. In her previous life, she was imprisoned in the East Palace, and she could not get in touch with such things as "poison". Now she is thinking in the wrong direction.

But what about these sharp swords?If it was stabbed with a knife, even the Immortal Da Luo would not be able to bear it...

With deep eyes, she took the decorative vase next to it and slammed it at the killer, but "coincidentally" separated the long sword stabbed by the shadow guard.

"I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just wanted to help..." Facing the shadow guard's cold gaze, Hua Zuili defended very timidly.

The shadow guard would not listen to her explanation, and the killer would not miss this rare gap. He held the bloody long sword and stabbed at Mei Zhuoxue.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, Hua Zuili saw that the long sword was getting closer and closer to Mei Zhuoxue, and only heard a 'puchi'...

The killer's head rolled down from his neck, and the long sword was inserted straight into Chen Zhisheng's arm.

Blocking the sword... Hua Zuili looked at the pale man with bleeding arms, and remained silent.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for being late to rescue you." Bei Xing knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

The killers on the deck had almost been cleaned up, leaving only one alive, and the man from Beisi removed his jaw, forcing him to spit out the suicide poison hidden between his teeth.

"Ask who ordered it." Mei Zhuoxue shook the fragrant leaf residue at the bottom of the teacup, frowned slightly and said, "The leaves are wide and long, and the taste is not clear. The grass and leaf fragrance offered in Sichuan is really getting worse and worse. , not as good as Jiangnan's nameless tea."

Bei Xing gestured to the shadow guard who suppressed the killer, and turned to refill Mei Zhuoxue's tea, "The executive officer of the Sichuan region is a member of His Highness the Third Highness. He has been the county magistrate for several years, but ah, he is about to reach his end." gone."

They were chatting about family affairs, but they had already decided on one person's fate. The killer wanted to sneak away while they were relaxing, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his shoulder.

His limp arms hung down, and the shadow guard who suppressed him said coldly: "Tell me who is behind the scenes, and I will give you a good time."

"Bah! Don't even think about it!"

The shadow guard didn't press any more, but started to break his bones inch by inch. The cracking sound of the bones made people's teeth sore. The killer curled up in pain, and when his ankle was held, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"I said! I said!"

The shadow guard stopped.

The killer panted heavily, and shouted at Hua Zuili: "Young master, don't worry! This subordinate will never betray you!"

After speaking, he bit his tongue and killed himself.

You, say, what? ? ?

Hua Zuili was leaning against the most secret red lacquered log in the corner, but it did not prevent her from receiving vicious and vicious gazes. When a person sits in a boat, disaster comes from the sky. This sentence is simply too much to use at this moment. Wonderful.

"Your Highness!" Hua Zuili knelt on the ground and argued, "I dare to swear to the sky, these killers are definitely not sent by me, if there is even half a lie, the sky will strike me with lightning!"

This time I really didn't lie, the main reason is that she didn't have that spare money, otherwise she wouldn't have come by herself.

Mei Zhuoxue did not speak, but Bei Xing walked over with a sweet smile, "My little brother said that these killers were not sent by me, so how do we explain this thing?"

Hua Zuili looked at the things he threw on the ground, and her body trembled slightly - this is not exactly the silver chopsticks she threw...

"Isn't this just a silver chopstick? I don't quite understand what Master Beixing means."

"I don't really understand." Bei Xing looked at her confused look, his eyes were slightly cold, "Such silver chopsticks are privately made by the royal family. There are only five pairs in the whole world. One pair is from the Holy Majesty, and the other pair is from the Eldest Princess. The remaining triple pairs are all in the hands of His Highness."

"This time on the boat, His Highness deliberately took out this object to treat the two young masters with courtesy, but for some reason, the silver chopsticks in front of His Highness and Mr. Chen were all intact, but Mr. Cheng Yun was missing one and was thrown away. by the lakeside."

"So, Lord Bei Xing means that I attracted the killer to murder His Highness?" Hua Zuili stopped kneeling, lifted the corner of her robe and stood up, staring straight at Bei Xing to confront him.

"Isn't it?" Bei Xing asked back, "The ebony forest, the dining room, and the boat on the lake, every time His Highness is with Mr. Cheng Yun, he will be in danger. Mr. Cheng Yun will not say that these three times were all accidents."

"Once it might be an accident, twice it might be an accident, but if you say it's an accident three times, no one will believe it." Hua Zuili smiled lightly and said, "That's right, this silver chopstick is indeed on my table. "

Bei Xing's eyes instantly turned cold.

"But what does that mean?" Hua Zuili continued, "The pair of chopsticks were placed on my table, the killer came, and the scene was chaotic. Someone accidentally overturned it and happened to be picked up by Lord Bei Xing. possible."

She walked into Bei Xing and stared straight into his eyes, "If a single chopstick can put the prince in danger, then you must have underestimated His Highness too much."
