Chapter 90 Danger amidst danger leads the snake out of its hole ([-])
"South, twenty steps."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yingwei threw a dart and accurately broke a mirror. The sound of the bells in the room suddenly weakened a lot. Yanjiang threw out a dagger and shattered a mirror in the east in an instant. The bells in the room almost stopped shaking. , Yan Jiang walked over and pulled out the dagger stuck in the pillar, and asked the two Long Shadow Guards to check the room. Soon they found a secret door on the east side, and after passing through it, they found the east wing. After lighting the ignition fold, , I only saw a set of jailer clothes thrown on the ground, and the person had already escaped through the back door.

On the other side, the jailer who escaped from Jin Chan's shell was blocked by Yan Fei.

Under the dim moonlight, a woman's figure was reflected, with long hair shawl, and a pair of cold eyes.

The bow and arrow in Yan Fei's hand was aimed at the woman's throat. The woman rushed over quickly without any hesitation. With a whoosh, the sharp arrow grazed the woman's hair and plunged into a wall. The cold light of the dagger in the woman's hand was already in front of her. Yan Fei also drew out his dagger and rushed forward, and the two started a life-and-death fight in the narrow alley.

On the roof not far away, the cold light of an arrow was aimed at one of the figures.

Soon after, Yan Jiang flew over and pulled Yan Fei away, and the arrow penetrated the woman's chest. The blood stained a large area of ​​her clothes, but there was a slight smile on the corners of her mouth and eyes. The blurry figure was reflected in his eyes until he fell to the ground, without any regret or resentment in his eyes.

When Yan Jiang caught up, the people on the roof had disappeared.Long Shadow Guard searched the surroundings and found no trace of the man.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, the woman's young face seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious veil, and her dilated pupils emitted a gray and cold light, making the smile at the corner of her mouth look a bit more desolate. .

The woman looked to be less than [-] years old, and she was not the person who stabbed someone in the back ten years ago.

And when Yanjiang saw the short arrow stuck in the woman's chest, he was sure of one thing. The man who shot the cold arrow ten years ago was the one who shot the woman.This short arrow is specially made for crossbows and can penetrate iron armor within a hundred meters.

There was no light from the stars and the moon in the sky, and it was dark, like a heavy piece of lead, as if it would fall down the next moment.

When Yanjiang walked out of the room, Yanfei was still wiping the dagger on his hand.

"There will be next time." Yan Jiang patted Yan Fei's shoulder, and Yan Fei nodded silently.

A Longying guard came out and handed two things to Yanjiang. One was the dagger that the woman used before her death, and the other was a purse with only a jade earring in it. Looking at the workmanship and style of the purse and earrings, It's not cheap, and it doesn't look like something that ordinary people would have. Apart from that, the woman's identity is still a mystery. There is only one earring in her purse now, and another mystery that follows is the other earring. Whose hands will it be?

In the next two days, Long Yingwei took the earrings and ran around the jewelry shops in the capital, but did not find any clues. Finally, he got a clue from an elderly shopkeeper. The old shopkeeper said that the jadeite The jade used in the earrings is called Yuguo Tianqing, which is a precious jade species produced in Qingzhou.After getting this clue, the two Long Shadow Guards immediately set off for Qingzhou.

On the way Yanfei was returning from school that day, the carriage was stopped by a boy. The boy said that his general had invited him. Yanfei glanced out of the carriage window and saw a man standing in front of a window on the second floor with sharp eyes. Like the eagle and falcon, he is what the young man calls a general.

After going up to the second floor, the boy brought Yan Fei into a private room. Qin Min was the only one in the room. He looked at Yan Fei condescendingly with his sharp eyes for a while, and saw that he showed no fear. He said, "I'm not curious, General." What do I need from you?"

Yan Fei's eyes were as cold as cold stars and he said nothing. "Ha~" Qin Min raised a cruel smile, walked to a chair and sat down and said, "You are quite similar to your father."

Yan Fei frowned and said coldly: "If the general comes to me to reminisce about old times, I won't accompany him."

Qin Min laughed again and said: "Children are just impatient. They can't say a few words before getting impatient. Well, I don't have time to talk to you here. I just came to you to tell you something. , people’s hearts are unpredictable, even brothers can’t guarantee that they won’t stab you in the back.”

"What do you mean?" Yanfei asked.

Qin Yin smiled and said, "You might as well go back and ask your second uncle why he didn't arrive in time."

"It was the heavy rain that blocked the marching route." Yan Fei said decisively.

Qin Xin sneered and said: "Knowing people but not knowing their hearts, even flesh and blood relatives may not be reliable. If I were you, general, I would definitely try my best to find out the truth of that year. I would rather be a slave than a mermaid."

"General, you don't need to worry about this." After saying this, Yanfei said goodbye and left.

When Yan Fei was about to step out of the room, Qin Min said from behind, "Be careful, your second uncle, don't take revenge when the time comes." Yan Fei turned his eyes as cold as cold stars and walked away indifferently. go out.

When they returned to the General's Mansion, Yan Jiang happened to have just arrived and asked Yan Fei if he wanted to spar with him. Yan Fei was about to go back to his residence, but before he could take two steps, Yan Jiang put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him away.

"Didn't Third Uncle ask you to do a favor last time?" Yanjiang looked around and quietly told him the name of a place. "You can go directly there after school tomorrow. I will teach you how to do it then. When the time comes, you kid Don't let me go."

"I know." Yan Fei didn't ask anything. He paused for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his expression, but still didn't say anything.

At night, there was a sudden cool breeze, and the air suddenly became cooler. The slightly yellow leaves fell from the branches, covering the body of a summer cicada. Soon, it would be covered with golden leaves. When the leaves fall, the sweet smell of ripe fruits will drift from the mountains and forests.

Ye Lingxi slept extremely comfortably that night. When she woke up in the morning, she opened the window behind the dressing table and breathed in a breath of cool air, mixed with the lingering fragrance of flowers.Through the window, Ye Lingxi saw that the lush orchids and grasses in the yard seemed to have become sparse and sparse overnight, making them appear more noble and beautiful. The more they looked at them, the more charming they felt.

"Princess, it's getting colder today. You should wear more clothes. Don't sit in the yard at night to avoid catching a cold." Hehe said while putting a headdress on Ye Lingxi.

Ling Dang picked out a small amount of mung bean-sized rose balm from a delicate cloisonné enamel box and applied it on Ye Lingxi's face, then spread it gently with the palm of her hand. The balm was very delicate and had a light fragrance, as if it were applied on Ye Lingxi's face. It has a very thin layer of rose dew on the face, which is suitable for dry seasons like autumn. It also has a rouge effect, which is suitable for a little girl like Ye Lingxi to dress up without looking gaudy at all.
