Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 186 Hitting the Arrow (Part [-])
The wind came whistling, blowing directly on her forehead.

The leaves in the wind are like sharp blades, and it hurts when it passes across the forehead. Behind him are shouts from different directions, footsteps, and the sound of swords coming out of their bodies.

In the East Palace, there are many giant trees and rockeries. When I came here, I used these to cover up my body, and at this moment, I also blocked my sight in a hurry.

It's raining.

From the first drop of raindrops to the rain pouring down, but in a flash.

"Your Highness! Your Highness, the Crown Prince! Slow down! Ah..." The sharp voice broke through the rain, covering the footsteps of swords, guns, swords and halberds, "Your Highness..."

In the heavy wind and heavy rain, the shouts became indistinct, but it was obvious that Li Yuqi had heard the news and rushed over.While Ji Wuyan got up and fled, secretly gritted his teeth and cursed the damn dizziness, and vowed to let Mr. Chen check it out when he went back, it was too late!

The wall is not far away.

Ji Wuyan spotted a few short stones piled together under the high wall, went up in two steps, and jumped up, the black robe in her arms was being chased by the wind, and she hugged tightly. The bronze box was about to turn over and jump out of the wall, when suddenly... She seemed to have a sense, and turned to look.

The sharp arrow has already rushed towards the face.

And behind the sharp arrow, on top of a tall ancient tree, a figure in a black dress was holding a bow and arrow that was much larger than usual. Under the cover of the night, he couldn't see his appearance clearly. His eyes are focused and fierce... like the most focused hunter in the world.

Ji Wuyan smiled slowly at him, turned around and went down the wall...

Suddenly!There was dizziness in my head, severe pain hit me, my figure froze, my arm hurt, and I fell off the wall...

The arrow pierced her arm, the bow was unusual, and the archer was also unusual. The arrow almost pierced her arm directly. An arrow escaped...

Ji Wuyan knew that even if she had already escaped from the East Palace, she would not be able to delay. This damn vertigo attack happened one after another tonight, and she really didn't know what was going on behind her. She gritted her teeth and pulled out the long arrow in her arm. In the light of blood, she took off the mask and tied it roughly, and fled quickly with the bronze box in her arms.

Behind him, it rained heavily.

Li Yuqi, who soon arrived at the base of the wall, pursed his lips and looked at the two objects held by his hands. One was the long arrow of the archer of the Eastern Palace.And the other one is a small piece of rag, the black material is of excellent texture, it looks like silk brocade that can only be used by wealthy and well-off families. .

He stood there with a sullen expression, waiting for half a cup of tea, and the guards who chased him came back soon. As expected, he was... lost.

The rain was heavy, and the downpour was enough to wash away any traces that might be left, including blood.

"Your Highness..." The old slave next to me bent over and persuaded in a low voice, "Your Highness...it's raining late at night, and I'm afraid we may hurt our health. Let's go back. No matter what, we'll talk about it tomorrow...tomorrow, let's report to Dali Temple, let Dali Temple..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yuqi kicked over, "Dali Temple? You asked Dali Temple to investigate? Are you a pig brain! Where did this assassin come from? Do you want me to emphasize it to you? Chongren Temple! A Assassin, what are you doing in Chongren Hall in the middle of the night?! Who is he going to assassinate? A ghost?! And then you want those bastards from Dali Temple to go to Chongren Hall to search again for the palace or something?!"

Said, walked away.

But he didn't go to his bedroom, but went straight to Chongren Hall.

After Shangguan Yuan's death, Li Yuqi thoroughly searched the Chongren Hall, but it was burnt down so badly that almost everything was burnt down except for the whole shelves of those furniture cabinets.

Naturally, they returned in vain.

But today this assassin is obviously going to Chongren Hall, there is no one in the hall, not even a ghost, what is he going there for?It's not killing people, it's just... looking for something.

What is he... looking for?
Or, what does he... know?
Inside the Chongren Hall, it was still the same as the last time I came here, everything was dark, but there were more layers of dust.

He walked through the weedy cobblestone path and the dry pond one by one with no expression on his face, unable to remember what it was like for a moment.He has been here many times, and every time he came and went in a hurry, or broke up unhappy, and then he stopped coming.

Pushing open the door and entering, he walked all the way to the inner room, and the servants quickly lit the fire.

He looked around, and soon found the fresh "scar" on the wall, his expression changed drastically, he walked over in two or three steps, moved the blue brick away, and there was a hidden space!
And in the dark cell, there is nothing!
He dared to swear by his position as the crown prince, when he came back last time, it was a complete wall... There seemed to be a painting hanging on the wall, and that painting was Shangguan Yuan's self-portrait, and Shangguan Yuan spent several days on it The time to paint is finished, and she cherishes it very much.

At that time, Li Yuqi still sneered and made fun of her, saying that this person has a good skin, which is a good thing, but if he is immersed in his good skin and wished to rub his portrait every day, it would be somewhat disgusting.What was Shangguan Yuan's reaction at that time?It seemed like she just smiled and didn't speak.

She always smiles, that kind of gentle, lifeless smile, soft and boring.

Now that I think about it, this person is not looking at her own portrait, it is probably because there is something very important hidden in this secret compartment, which is worth guarding every day... For example, the biggest secret of the Shangguan family!A secret that I have tried so hard to get but I can't get it!Shangguan's... treasure!
But now... the things in this dark compartment... are gone!I took great pains to marry Shangguan Yuan, but in the end it was all in vain...

Who is... who is it? !

"Bastards! A bunch of idiots!" Li Yuqi clenched his fists and trembled with anger. He bit his back and grinned, "What do I want you for? An assassin entered my East Palace in the middle of the night and stole Things, ran away in a grandiose manner! And you... just sent me a piece of cloth! Waste!"

"Boom!"

Shocking thunder exploded from the sky, and in the night where white light flashed, Li Yuqi's face looked ferocious like a ghost crawling up from the ground.The guards all knelt outside Chongren Hall, silent and silent, no one could argue.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to maintain his deep love for the former Crown Princess, and rejected all the family daughters who came to his door, and also rejected His Majesty's intention to grant him a marriage, but in the mansion, he proclaimed adultery every night, Yue Mo was afraid that there would be too many people, so he streamlined the night guards. How could they be foolproof with only two teams?
