Chapter 149

Lou Xiyue reacted quickly, turned sideways in time, and quickly dodged.But the maid was not so lucky.The maid screamed, and then a dagger was pressed against her neck:
"Tell me, where is your master's study?" The man in black lowered his voice, and stared at Lou Xiyue and the maid viciously.He threatened: "If you don't tell me, then I won't be polite—"

As he said that, the man in black sneered: "Young girl has a beautiful face, you don't want to disfigure her face, do you?"

The maid turned pale with fright: "No, no!"

Lou Xiyue stood aside and said, "You just want to know the location of the study, so why bother a little girl when you ask for directions?"

"I won't embarrass her, so can you show me the way?" The man in black looked up at Lou Xiyue: "Your companion's life is in my hands, if you don't want her to die, then tell me obediently, the master The location of the study. Otherwise—"

Before the man in black finished speaking, the maid hurriedly interrupted: "No, the study is an important place for the master to handle official affairs, and you must never tell the evil villain the location!"

"Really?" The man in black smiled and said, "I can't tell, you are quite loyal. Then I have no choice but to sacrifice you."

After speaking, he will start.

"Wait!" Lou Xiyue looked at the maid, and persuaded: "...Life and death are at stake, the most important thing is to save your life first. The head of the family has his own guards to protect him. Even if this little thief dares to break in, he is no match for those killers. what?

"The boss is reasonable. If he knew that you were forced to show the way to the wicked, he probably wouldn't blame you."

The maid hesitated.

She bit her lower lip, her face full of confusion.

The man in black said: "Hesitating? It seems that you still want to sacrifice yourself. Then I have no choice but to fulfill your loyalty."

As soon as the voice fell, the man in black exerted force on his hand, and in an instant, a gash was opened on the maid's neck.Blood flowed out.

"Wait, wait, I can tell you!" The maid endured the sharp pain, tears rolling in her eyes.She said: "I can tell you where the study is, don't kill me!"

The maid was still afraid of death, so she could only tell the man in black the specific location while sobbing.

The man in black knew the clue he wanted, and immediately slapped the maid on the back and pushed her out.Afterwards, he and Lou Xiyue passed shoulder to shoulder, exchanged glances with her briefly, then jumped up and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Lou Xiyue held the maid in her arms, covered her wound with a clean veil, and comforted her, saying:
"Don't be afraid, the thief has already left. It's okay, it's just a small wound, it's not serious. I have the best medicine for golden sores, and I'll bring it to you later. At that time, there won't even be a scar left."

But at this moment, the maid didn't care about the scar or not.

She got off her body, remembering what she said to the man in black just now, she was panicked and at a loss.

"I, I told you the location of the study, and that villain will definitely trouble the Master!" The maid regretted: "If the Master finds out that I leaked the news and betrayed Linlang Pavilion, then he will definitely kill him." mine!"

Lou Xiyue thought, really waited until then, the head of the family might not have the time to pursue the little maid's crimes.

She said: "No, if the head of the family blames you, I will definitely intercede for you." Lou Xiyue quickly said: "But the most important thing right now is to tell the head of the news as soon as possible so that we can take precautions."

Hearing this, the maid's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, yes, we must report to the head as soon as possible!"

The maid gradually recovered from the initial panic, and immediately called the guards patrolling nearby, telling them to catch the assassin.

When the guards learned that Linlang Pavilion had been attacked by thieves, they immediately beat the gongs and drums and rushed to the meeting hall: "Come quickly, come quickly, there are assassins, there are assassins! Catch the assassins!"

With such a big event happening in Linlang Pavilion, Lou Xiyue naturally wanted to have fun, so she rushed to the meeting hall with the group of guards.

*
In the meeting hall, the head of the family was reading the secret letter sent by his subordinates under the lamp.

After reading the last word, he sneered, and then casually burned the secret letter in the brazier.At the same time, he glanced at the sky outside the conference hall and thought:

It's already this time, Lou Xiyue should also come over.Why did it take so long? Could it be that she was playing some tricks again?

There are layers of doubts in the head of the head, for a while, he wonders what Lou Xiyue is holding about Old General Yan, and for a while, he thinks about how to destroy the alliance between King Yin and the Yan family.

He thought it would be easier to kill Yan Ruyu directly, but he thought that the purpose of doing so was too obvious and would easily expose himself.

But before he could come up with a specific plan, he heard a strange movement from outside:

"Catch the assassin! Quickly, protect the boss!—"

Hearing this sentence, the head of the family couldn't sit still.He stood up abruptly, and hurried out: Assassin?How could there be assassins in Linlang Pavilion?

Seeing him with a serious face, he immediately called the guards around: "Why don't you go and see what's going on outside?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard ran over and said in a hurry:

"Report to Master, just now Miss Zhuqin reported that there was an assassin in Linglang Zhenqi! And went straight to the study. The assassin seemed to think that you were in the study, so he was going to assassinate!"

"assassinate?!"

The guard said again: "Fortunately, the head is not in the study, the assassin must have missed it. Please leave with me quickly, and I will protect you to a safe place."

The boss doesn't care about his own safety.

He immediately lifted his feet and walked out, which was in the direction of the study.

"Looking at the entire capital, there is no safer place than Linlang Pavilion. Even Linlang Pavilion can enter assassins, which shows that the comers are quite capable." The head of the family said:
"Follow me to the study, I want to see what the origin of this assassin is!"

He thought, well done, how could there be assassins in Linlang Pavilion?What is the assassin's purpose, why did he just go to the study?

Thinking of those things in the study, the face of the head suddenly became very ugly.

He didn't know who the assassin was, but if he came after something in the study, then he could guess the person behind the assassin.

The head sneered in his heart: Hmph, when I catch him, I'll settle the score!

He led the people away in a hurry, as soon as the front foot left the meeting hall, Lou Xiyue arrived there.

Lou Xiyue saw the head of the family leaving in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The head of the house! Where are you going? I happen to have something to discuss with you, you—"

The chief didn't have time to talk to her, just gave her a cold look, and then told his followers: "Send Miss Lou back, don't let Miss Lou be surprised."

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, the head of the family did not stop, turned around and left.

Lou Xiyue looked at his back in a hurry, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but hook upwards.But she quickly regained her expression, "disappointed" said: "It seems that the head of the family will not be free tonight, so I can only come back tomorrow."
