Chapter 171
The rain outside the window has not stopped, pattering down on the soil with a strong scent of vegetation, and then converging into a stream of flowing streams, winding towards the lotus lake.

The sky was already getting dark, and there were no candles lit in the room. Xue Li sat quietly by the window, holding a thin book page with his slender fingertips. His figure remained silent for a long time. moving posture.

His eyes seemed to be focused on the book spread out in his hand, but from the ancient book that had not turned a page for a long time, we could know that the man had been lost in thought.

"Boom--"

There was a sudden explosion of thunder, and several dazzling lightning flashes in the sky accompanied by the continuous thunder.

Xue Li seemed to have come to his senses just now, with a slight movement of his slender, white fingertips, he silently closed the book lying on his lap, and then moved his cold eyes out of the window.

"Boom—boom—"

The thunder became louder and louder, one after another, like the sound of drums beating on a battlefield, which made people feel inexplicably frightened.

Xue Li frowned slightly and pressed his slender hands on his chest. For some reason, something seemed to be jumping out of his heart.

Winter nights always come earlier. It's already the hour of You, and Wei Yunxue has not yet been seen at the door. Xue Li can't help but feel a little worried. He knows that she always does what she says, and never does anything she can't do. Won't say it.

The figure was a green phoenix spreading its wings and about to fly. To them, this green phoenix picture was extremely familiar, yet extremely strange.

I say familiar because this is the signal flare used by the Shadow Guards to communicate with each other. They are familiar with this kind of code. But I say unfamiliar because no one has ever used this green phoenix picture since the Shadow Guards were formed. It is the highest The first-level signal is a code word that is emitted when the shadow guard is seriously injured and unable to protect his master after being attacked.

Not bothering to go into the house to report to Xue Li, the shadow guards rushed over immediately after seeing the signal flare.

"You stay here and I'll go find the prince!" Lin Yi, who was originally guarding the gate of the palace, couldn't think too much. He turned around and rushed into the palace after saying an order, wanting to find Xue Li.

Unexpectedly, after walking only a few steps, a snow-white horse rushed out of the house like an arrow from the string. Lin Yi was almost knocked down by the wind it brought. After he stood still, he only saw A familiar tall figure quickly disappeared into the dim night.
