Chapter 164 Bonfire Dinner
There was a dim light in Xia Xin's eyes, and his intuition told him that this cat definitely had a secret, so even if he didn't know any other news today, he still wanted to figure out the cat's secret.

He didn't let go of any unusual expression on Gu Chengyuan's face, but...he watched for a long time, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Gu Chengyuan looked composed, lazily turned the cat in his arms to the other side, and then looked at him calmly, arrogant and self-reliant, Xia Xin inexplicably felt inferior to others with his innate sense of nobility.

The voice from the thin lips is clear and pleasant: "Otherwise, how can I become my king's cat?"

After finishing speaking, he went back to the room and closed the door mercilessly.

"..."

Xia Xin was shut outside the door, she was stunned for a long time before she understood what Gu Chengyuan meant, and cursed in a low voice: "Tch, the prince is amazing? If it wasn't for the young master... hmph, no matter what, I can become a prince."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a chess piece that had rolled down to his feet, and felt even more resentful. He kicked it flying, turned around and went back to the room.

When dusk approached, Yu Jian sent someone to invite Gu Chengyuan to their bonfire dinner, saying that this was a custom in their Tieqi Village, and such an event would be held on the [-]th of every month.

When Gu Chengyuan got the news, Xuan Yinruo was still sleeping soundly on the bed. He tried twice but failed to wake her up, so he stopped forcing him and left a note asking her not to run around before following that person. leave.

Almost as soon as Gu Chengyuan left, Xuan Yinruo, who had been unconscious for a second, opened his eyes the next second, and his big emerald eyes swept across the entire room, and only after making sure that there was no one left quietly. crawled out.

Her necklace was still in Xia Xin's place, and the person who heard the rumor just now said that the whole village would go to the bonfire banquet, and it was impossible for Xia Xin, who loves to be so lively, not to go, so she just took this opportunity to get the necklace back.

Xuan Yinruo waited for a while, climbed up the window sill and listened to the movement in the yard outside, until the surrounding was quiet and only the sound of the mountain wind could be heard, then Xuan Yinruo jumped out.

She came to Xia Xin's room. This time, his window sill was not fastened, so Xuan Yinruo easily entered his room.

Looking around for a week, I couldn't see the trace of the necklace at a glance, so I had to search one by one, but as a cat, her short hands and short legs inevitably had something that she couldn't use.
This led to a circle, the room furnishings were also messed up, and the wooden boxes of robes were scattered all over the floor. Fortunately, there were not many things in this room, and Xuan Yinruo finally found her necklace in the inner drawer under the desk. .

She snorted lightly, Xia Xin hid it so tightly, could it be that she was really afraid that she would not be able to steal it?
Xuan Yinruo looked back at the messy room, and was hesitating whether to let the servants outside come in to clean it up or just leave it in such a mess, when suddenly two voices came from outside the door, one of which was obviously from the owner of the room.

"Hey, let me just say, every banquet is the same boring, dancing and singing are all the same people, how can I keep watching this?"

The other is a girl with a smile: "Master, you want to go out, right? Why do you need to make such an excuse?"

Xia Xin coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment: "It's not that obvious, is it?"

Suddenly his eyes paused, and he caught sight of marks on the window sill, which were obviously touched by someone.

His eyes froze, and his pair of lazy phoenix eyes also became a little fierce at this moment. He put his hand on the sword pinned to his waist, and made a continuous movement towards the person beside him with his side eyes, and quietly approached the door. side.

The woman next to him immediately understood, and then laughed lightly: "You almost wrote it on your own face."

After finishing speaking, Xia Xin also approached the door smoothly, kicked it open with one foot, holding a cold sword in her hand, and drew a stern sword light.

However, the entire room was empty, and there was no loss other than being messed up.

The maidservant's expression changed suddenly, and she quickly said, "Master, there is an assassin, I'll call someone."

When she was leaving, Xia Xin still did not forget to carefully search every corner of the room, and found a strand of fine and soft white hair by the window sill.

Xia Xin narrowed her eyes slowly: "Could it be that little guy again?"

Without hesitation, he jumped out of the window sill and chased in the direction of possible actions. As expected, he saw a slightly trembling white cat in a dish of grass.

He walked over, only to find that the kitten seemed to be in great pain, with a necklace in its mouth, its eyes closed, and the expressions on its face were almost twisted together, looking very uncomfortable.

Seeing Xuan Yinruo like this, Xia Xin felt a throbbing pain in his heart for no reason, and didn't have time to worry about it messing around the room and stealing the necklace, so he carried her back to the room.

As soon as he put it on the bed and turned around to pour a glass of water, the cat on the bed jumped up and ran out quickly, seeming to have one of his robes with him.

"Hey, why are you running..."

With a flick of his hand, Xia Xin spilled the tea all over the floor, and just landed on his favorite robe. He wanted to cry, but this was not the time for distress, so he could only grit his teeth and drop the teacup to face him. The cat ran after it in the direction it was running away from.

But at this moment in the valley ahead, the noisy crowd and the bright bonfire made Gu Chengyuan have a headache. He was concerned about a small thing, and he had no interest in these singing, dancing, and entertainment. He stood up and was about to leave, but there was a noise from the other side .

"There are assassins!"

A voice came out from nowhere, and the singing and dancing stopped abruptly. The well-trained group of people on the outermost side gathered together and rushed over. Yu Jian, who was beside Gu Chengyuan, was not in the slightest impatient, and took a glass of wine. Slowly approaching Gu Chengyuan, said lazily,
"My lord, don't panic, Tieqishan often encounters assassins, they have long been experienced, and nothing will happen."

Gu Chengyuan's premonition was not so good, he glanced at Yu Jian with stern eyes: "Second Master, do you still remember the companion thing I mentioned today?"

Yu Jian almost spit out his wine, choked two or three times before saying, "Your Excellency, you mean that the assassin just now is likely to come to save your companion?"

Gu Chengyuan's face was gloomy and he didn't answer.

Yu Jian panicked, and rushed into the crowd, warning: "Don't do anything, save life."

Gu Chengyuan had to wait here for a while, before Yu Jian walked up to him with a few people, and bowed slightly: "Look, my lord, these are the assassins who just attacked, but what are you looking for?"

Yu Jian turned slightly to the side, revealing the face of the person behind him. Although the face of the leader was a little bruised, it was not Shao Yun who was still sharp and sharp?
