The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 853 Cold Arrow
Ding Yi and Huang Qi both moved.

The two men drew their swords and rushed to Zhu Qing's side, surrounding the prince tightly.

Xie Zhifei overcame the moment of stiffness, jumped up, and kicked the chair where Pei Xiao was sitting.

The chair legs snapped and Pei Xiao fell to the ground.

Xie Zhifei rushed over, hugged him, rolled on the ground, and rolled to the corner next to the wall.

None of them noticed that Yan Xi, who was hit by the arrow, looked down at his heart, his lips trembled a few times, he shouted "it hurts", and then he fell down.

At this time, Shen Chong rushed in, glanced around, and saw only Yan Xi lying in a pool of blood, and shouted: "Protect the prince, I will chase the assassin."

"I'll go as well."

Li Buyan picked up Yan Sanhe, pushed him towards Xie Zhifei, and he followed him out.

Xie Zhifei jumped up from the ground, pulled Yan Sanhe to the corner, and stood in front of her, his broad back completely covering her whole body.

The room fell into dead silence for an instant.

No one dared to act rashly.

Xie Zhifei's eyes quickly swept over Yan Xi and landed behind Zhu Qing and others, and his heart suddenly shook violently.

If that arrow was not aimed at Yan Xi, but at Zhao Yishi...

What will the consequences be?

"That arrow was not aimed at the prince."

Yan Sanhe walked out from behind Xie Zhifei. Although his voice sounded calm, his face was surprisingly pale.

She was the closest and could clearly see that the arrow was heading straight for Yan Xi.

"The person that person really wants to kill is Yan Xi."

As soon as Xie Zhifei heard this, he immediately walked to Yan Xi, bent down and stretched out two fingers, "I'm out of breath."

When Pei Xiao heard that he was out of breath, he became anxious and said, "Quickly, feel his pulse."

Xie Zhifei touched it and shook his head.

"Really dead? Oh, he still has something to say!"

Pei Xiao got up from the ground, looked outside a few times, and said worriedly: "Huang Qi, go outside and see... the situation."

He originally wanted to say, "Look at Li Buyan," but when he thought of Huairen's presence, he immediately changed his mind.

As soon as Huang Qi stepped out of the threshold with one foot, he saw Li Buyan running over, and he quickly took his foot back.

Li Buyan sheathed his soft sword and said breathlessly: "No one was found. Shen Chong asked me to come back first to report the news. He looked around again and asked His Highness to return to the city immediately."

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, even if it is not for the prince, the prince's safety is the top priority, and he cannot take any risks.

Xie Zhifei made a quick decision: "Go back to the city immediately, Zhu Qing, take Yan Xi's body back."

"Yes!"

"Wait."

Li Buyan squatted in front of Yan Xi, lifted his body up, and took a closer look.

An arrow through the heart?
Good archery!
No wonder he died so thoroughly.

Zhu Qing urged: "Miss Li, take it back and look at it carefully. It's not safe here."

Li Buyan relaxed his hands and said, "Okay."

At this time, Zhao Yishi stood up and walked to Yan Sanhe with dark eyes: "Miss Yan, go to my prince's residence first..."

"I'll go back to the other courtyard."

Yan Sanhe turned around and walked out, adding another sentence: "I need a quiet place to think about this matter."

Things are very strange.

The arrow came sooner or later, but it came just when Yan Xi was about to tell why he lied.

why?
……

When the carriage drove into the west gate, the sky was already bright.

After entering the city gate, the troops divided into two groups——

Xie Zhifei, the master and servant, escorted the prince back to Duanmu Palace;
Yan Sanhe and Pei Xiao returned to the other courtyard.

After returning to the other courtyard, Yan Sanhe ducked into the study and closed the door.

Pei Xiao and the others did not dare to come forward to disturb them. After washing briefly, they gathered in the small flower hall to have breakfast.Where else can I eat it?

That cold arrow was shot in full view of everyone, and it avoided Shen Chong and the other two guards of the prince. Who was the master?

After breakfast, the study door was still closed.

Pei Xiao was afraid that something might happen to Yan Sanhe, so he didn't dare to leave, so he had to put two benches together and curl up on them for a while.

Li Buyan sat on the threshold, sighing and pinching his chin in regret.

If he had known it would end like this, he should have let Lu Da follow him secretly. With him here, Yan Xi might not have to die.

Another thought, even Shen Chong hadn't caught up with that person, so it might be useless for Lu Da to follow him.

Huang Qi's mind went blank. Seeing that everything was about to come to light, why did it get complicated again?
At this moment, Xie Zhifei, the master and the servant, came back after a long journey.

The faces of the three of them showed signs of fatigue after not sleeping all night.

Xie Zhifei glanced at him: "Where is Yan Sanhe?"

Li Buyan pointed to the study.

"Where's Mingting?"

Huang Qi pointed to the main room, "Has Third Master had breakfast?"

use?
So far this night, I haven't even had time to take a breath.

Xie Zhifei turned to Zhu Qing and Ding and said, "Let's change first and then eat."

"Yes."

Xie Zhifei exited the yard and saw Lu Da not far away holding a pair of big scissors and pruning dead branches slowly. A wry smile appeared in his eyes.

No wonder he can be a secret guard, his temperament is so stable.

……

I don't know if it was due to the influence of the mainland, or if things were already like this, and there was nothing we could do no matter how urgent we were, Xie Zhifei had a good appetite and ate two bowls of porridge.

After returning to his room and changing his clothes, he felt sleepy. Thinking that there was no movement from Yan Sanhe, he fell down on the couch and planned to catch up on some sleep.

Tired physically and mentally, as soon as he fell down, his eyelids became heavy and he fell asleep soon after.

He didn't know how long it took, but he woke up in a daze and found darkness in front of him.

This is where?

Xie Zhifei looked around and found that there seemed to be a light in the distance. Without thinking, he looked for that light.

As he walked and walked, the bright light suddenly grew bigger and bigger, and it seemed that there was an invisible force pulling him to walk into the bright light.

Finally walking to the light, he carefully stuck his head out.

Suddenly, a small courtyard appeared in front of him. Xie Zhifei thought vaguely, why is this courtyard so familiar?

His eyes glanced at a crabapple, and he suddenly understood.

This is Haitang Courtyard where he used to live.

What about dad?
mother?

What about my sister?
Xie Zhifei searched house after house, but found nothing. It seemed like he was the only one left in the huge Haitang Courtyard.

It seemed like he was the only one left in this vast world.

At this moment, something flew towards him quickly from behind.

Just as Xie Zhifei was about to turn around, he heard a puff, his heart suddenly started to hurt, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out of his mouth.

He looked down and found an arrow stuck in his heart.

Who is going to kill me?
Xie Zhifei felt sad and opened his eyes suddenly. After being stunned for a while, he realized that this was just a dream of his.

"Grandpa?"

"Third Master?"

Zhu Qing and Ding Yi came around, their expressions changed at the same time - the third master's face was actually filled with tears.

Xie Zhifei's throat spasmed, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"I just had a dream. In the dream, someone was behind me and shot an arrow at me."
