The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 62 Assassin
"It turned out to be from the Shangyi Bureau." Xiao Yangzi raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Li Nanny from your Shangyi Bureau was unwell and asked for leave two days ago. I wonder if she is better now?"

A slight light flashed in the eyes of the court lady: "Elder-in-law was joking, the maidservant has never heard of Nanny Li in the Shangyi Bureau."

Xiao Yangzi nodded without changing his face: "Oh, maybe I remembered it wrong."

Xuan Yinruo saw that the temptation was almost over, so he said lightly: "Lead the way."

The palace lady was blessed and walked ahead first, while Xiao Yangzi followed closely beside Xuan Yinruo, acting vigilant and always on guard.

If Xuan Yin saw this scene in his eyes, he couldn't help admiring him, yes, he is loyal to protect the Lord, courageous and insightful.

The three of them walked for a while, until the surroundings were deserted and desolate, Xiao Yangzi vaguely sensed something was wrong, approached Xuan Yinruo, and said in a low voice,
"Princess, this road is not right. It doesn't look like you are going to the gate of the palace. Why does it seem...to the direction of the cold palace?"

Xuan Yinruo: "..."

Did you just see it now?

As soon as Xiao Yangzi finished speaking, the court lady who was still some distance away in front of her stopped, and turned around slowly, showing a strange smile, but respectfully said: "Princess, we are here."

Xiao Yangzi was startled by her smile, grabbed Xuan Yinruo's sleeves tightly, and took two steps back.

Xuan Yinruo: "..."

Feelings, he just pretended that posture?

Xiao Yangzi swallowed her saliva, and realized that her behavior was not very good, so she let go, carefully moved two steps forward, and forced her to straighten her back, but her tone was a bit lacking in momentum,
"Where did you lead the way? Didn't you mean outside the palace? Where is the person who picked up the princess?"

The court lady gave a sinister smile, and her voice became cold: "The person who picked you up...see you in Huangquan."

After all, a dagger suddenly appeared from the cuff, and stabbed directly at Xuan Yinruo. The swift and fierce movements were obviously from martial arts training.

"Junjunjun...the princess,"

Xiao Yangzi couldn't straighten her tongue, and she still stood in front of Xuan Yinruo, "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"

"..."

Xuan Yinruo looked at his unsteady legs, although he didn't want to make it obvious, but he was really disgusted.
Seeing that the court lady had already stabbed him, Xiao Yangzi didn't know for a moment whether he forgot to dodge or remembered that Xuan Yinruo was behind him and refused to dodge, so he just stood there in a stalemate.

In the nick of time, Xiao Yangzi closed her eyes tightly, and thoughts flashed through her mind at the speed of light.

It's over, the savings he saved in the palace for the past few years has not had time to gamble outside the palace, is he going to die here...

However, the pain that Xiao Yangzi imagined did not come, until there was a whistling wind and the sound of the dagger falling to the ground.

He trembled, and hesitantly opened one eye, only to see that the fierce court lady had been knelt on the ground in humiliation by Xuan Yinruo's arms, writhing like a loach, but no matter what Can't break free.

"... Princess."

Xiao Yangzi almost thought he was dazzled, didn't he mean that Princess Yong'an was seriously ill and weak, and was miserable since childhood?

How could he still catch the assassin with bare hands?
However, Xiao Yangzi didn't have time to think so much at the moment. The most urgent thing to do was to hand over the assassin to the imperial army, so he quickly said, "Princess, you wait here, the servant will find someone to come over."

"and many more."

If Xuan Yin stopped Xiao Yangzi, if he found someone, he would definitely find out about her martial arts skills, and it would be troublesome if it was reported to Gu Chengyuan.

Xuan Yinruo pursed his lips, and said nonsense in a serious manner: "I don't know who sent this person. If you call for someone with a big fanfare now, you will inevitably alarm the murderer. It will be even more difficult to catch the person behind the scenes."

Anyone in the palace who has enmity with her can be figured out with her toes.

Xiao Yangzi firmly believed in Xuan Yinruo's words: "The princess, what should we do?"

Before Xuan Yinruo could speak, the body of the woman restrained by her twitched violently twice, and then spit out lumps of clotted black blood from the corner of her mouth, and slowly lowered her head without moving.

"Princess, she seems...to commit suicide by taking poison."

Xuan Yinruo pursed his lips. If it was an ordinary assassin, he would not die so quickly. Obviously, he was a specially trained dead man.

Where did Yu Xinrou find such a person?
Xuan Yinruo stood up and ordered calmly, "Throw her away."

"Huh? Where did you throw it?"

"Whatever." Xuan Yinruo shrugged his shoulders, as if he would do whatever he wanted.

She was dead anyway, and no one knew she was the one who did it. If the imperial army found out, they would be able to find out who sent it.

Oh yes, she forgot that there was a little Yangzi.

When Xiao Yangzi threw him into the small woods beside him, and when he turned back, Xuan Yinruo was lazily leaning against the tree, playing with the dagger, and he could see the sharp cold light on the dagger under the faint yellow sun.

Xiao Yangzi's footsteps paused, and suddenly he felt a sense of sight to kill people.

"Xiao Yangzi," Xuan Yinruo put away the dagger, stood up straight,
"Although I haven't known you for a long time, I think you're pretty close to me. If possible, I hope you can always follow me."

"..."

This sentence has a feeling of treating a dying person with kindness. Xiao Yangzi froze and knelt down directly.

"Princess, slave...whatever the slave did not do well, the princess can just say it, and I can bear to beat or punish the slave. I just ask the princess... please spare the slave's life."

Xuan Yinruo dug his ears, walked slowly in front of Xiao Yangzi, raised his chin with a sharp dagger, and drew lightly on the outline of his face twice.

Xiao Yangzi froze and remained motionless, for fear that his cheek would be cut by a dagger if he was not careful.

It wasn't until he was so frightened that tears almost flowed out that Xuan Yinruo gracefully threw the dagger aside and said slowly, "Get up, I won't kill you."

"but……"

When Xuan Yinruo changed the topic, Xiao Yangzi paused when he was about to stand up, then knelt down again, kowtowed twice piously,
"Princess, if you have something to ask, only a slave can do it. Even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, you will definitely fulfill your mission."

"It's not that serious." Xuan Yinruo laughed, suddenly felt a little guilty for scaring the kid, but still had to say something clearly,

"You also know that I have been living outside these years, and I was often bullied because of my health, so I practiced some self-protection skills."

"It's just that I didn't dare to tell the prince. I was afraid that he would blame me for not recuperating well. So... today's matter, can you keep it a secret for me?"

Xuan Yinruo blinked his innocent eyes, his voice sounded like a harmless animal, innocent and pleasant, but it still cast a big shadow on Xiao Yangzi's psychology.

　Xiao Yangzi: I was scared out of my wits today.

　　I need a recommendation ticket to comfort me~
