Chapter 108

Chu Yan's heart was beating non-stop, and she stood in place for a while, unable to move.

Why is the magistrate lying on her door like a little boy listening to the movement inside?Could it be that the prefect of Jiangzhou doubted her identity, but actually didn't believe that she was the real princess?
Or……

Chu Yan didn't dare to think about the worst, but suddenly saw a young servant carrying a lantern, leading a man in black through the back door, she quickly hid behind the rockery, taking advantage of the hazy light emitted by the lantern Saw that man.

There was a silver iron mask on his face, and a black robe with a cold and murderous air. Even at such a long distance, Chu Yan could feel the chill emanating from his whole body. The clothes were smudged like ink, as if they were about to melt into the dark night.

Looking at his waist slowly, Chu Yan bit her lower lip in shock, because she clearly saw a shining precious sword hanging on the man's waist. The sword was curved and thinner than ordinary swords. , hanging around his waist like a cold moon... He is one of today's assassins! ?
The man entered the study, the servant carefully closed the door and guarded the outside.Chu Yan didn't dare to act rashly, she could only squat on the spot in astonishment, a chill slowly creeping up her heart.

Could it be that the prefect of Jiangzhou is the same as today's group of assassins?Didn't she throw herself into a trap and lead Qin Yuanshan into the pit she dug herself?
After a long time, she had squatted until her legs were numb, and finally heard the sound of the door opening. The man in black was sent out by the same way as the servant, and Huang Yong stepped out of the study room, looked around, and was silent. He walked back to the room silently.

The silence in the small courtyard returned, and Chu Yan stood up with difficulty, rubbed her knees with poor blood circulation for a long time, and quickly walked towards Qin Yuanshan's wing.

The lights in Qin Yuanshan's room had already been turned off. In order not to arouse others' suspicion, Chu Yan just pushed open the door gently, and then walked in in the dark, stepping lightly, trying very hard not to make any noise.

Qin Yuanshan had lost a lot of blood, and was tired and weak. He was dozing off in a daze, when he heard the rustling of clothes, he opened his eyes vigilantly: "Who—"

Before the single sound could be fully uttered, it was covered by a slightly cold hand. The hand was soft and slender, and it was tightly attached to his lips like fine silk. It also carried a faint fragrance. Gently linger around the nose.

So he suddenly recognized who was coming, but when the soft palm left his lips, he suddenly felt a strange emotion, like reluctance, like melancholy.

Regarding her going back and forth, Qin Yuanshan was obviously a little bit surprised, but Chu Yan leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Don't make a sound, just listen to me quietly."

He nodded, his eyes firmly fixed on her in the darkness.

So Chu Yan whispered in his ear what happened just now. She spoke with concentration and earnestness, but she didn't realize that because the two of them were too close, every word of hers would blow a faint warm wind, and it would be easy to get infected. his cheeks.

Qin Yuanshan was a little absent-minded at the beginning, and it took a lot of effort to focus on what she said, and the warm breath that always seemed to be there slowly infected his pale and weak cheeks The bright color is like peach blossoms in March.

But when Chu Yan talked about it, he saw the man in black and Huang Yongqi entered the study together as a spy, especially when Chu Yan described the man in black's clothes and saber, Qin Yuanshan's eyes suddenly sank, and his eyelashes trembled slightly , and finally spit out a sentence: "Worship Zoroastrianism."

"What?" Chu Yan was a little surprised.

"If my guess is correct, today's assassin is probably a member of the Zoroastrian Cult." Qin Yuanshan explained to her in a low voice, "Over the years, the world seems to be peaceful, but there are still dark tides lurking, ready to move, and the Zoroastrian Cult is one of them."

Things happened suddenly today, he was only focused on taking Chu Yan out of the siege, and he didn't have time to think deeply.But now Chu Yan's description awakened him suddenly, judging from the unique all-colored scimitar, I am afraid that this matter was really done by the Zoroastrian Cult.

Throughout the ages, doctrines and treaties are just ways for the ruling class to control people's thoughts. Therefore, the rise and flow of Zoroastrianism into the Central Plains is no exception. Those who are interested are trying to shake the hearts of the people in order to achieve their own ulterior motives.

Right now there is no time to explain so many things about the Fire Worship Cult to Chu Yan. Qin Yuanshan closed his eyes, thought for a while, and then opened his eyes again, with a calm and gentle voice as before: "Jiangzhou can't stay any longer. If Huang Yong He has a secret connection with the Zoroastrians, and I am afraid that what he said about sending people to the palace to deliver messages is also a lie."

He touched the wound on his left rib, then sat up from the bed calmly, only frowning tightly for a moment, and looked at Chu Yan again as if nothing had happened.

Chu Yan also knew well that the best way right now was to escape, to escape at night, or at least find a remote place to hide.Even if Huang Yongqi didn't send someone to the palace to pass the message, the prince will know about it sooner or later, and then he will definitely send someone to rescue her and Qin Yuanshan, and Jiangzhou is the closest place to Jingyun Temple, so it will definitely be included in the list the first place.

The problem is how to survive before that, if they just stay in Huang Yongqi's mansion so helplessly, I am afraid that before tomorrow, the two of them will die unexpectedly, and their corpses will be destroyed, as if they never It's like I've never been to Jiangzhou.

"Can you walk?" Chu Yan stretched out his hand to help Qin Yuanshan, but he did not refuse for the first time, but actually put his weight on her shoulders.

Chu Yanqing knew that he was a person who obeyed the etiquette of the emperor and ministers, and now he let her support him so obediently, it must be really impossible for him to persevere alone.

The dust-settled mood when she first saw Huang Yong suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she suddenly wanted to laugh, thinking that God was really playing with her, and she was having a great time.

The so-called twists and turns are roughly the same, but I don't know if she has the fate to become the final winner.

The mansion was quiet, almost everyone had fallen asleep at the moment, and there was no one to be seen along the way.

Chu Yan supported Qin Yuanshan to walk towards the back door. Just now she saw that the man in black came from there, so she walked quietly along the long corridor.

The two were speechless for a while, only the slight noise of the clothes rubbing against each other disturbed the peace. Qin Yuanshan noticed that the hand holding him seemed to tremble slightly. Panic.

She should be afraid, but she always has a brave and fearless look on her face. Qin Yuanshan suddenly remembered the many times in the past when he looked at her from afar, when he admired her determination and calmness secretly, whether she also Just like today, are you feeling uneasy and uneasy inside?
After all, she is a young girl, she has no reason to be indifferent to everything like a weather-beaten person.

Thinking of this, he seemed to suddenly realize that the distance between the two of them was not that far away, because he could also pat the back of her hand lightly, and said to her in a soft but calming voice: "Your Highness, please!" do not worry."

Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover him, if he really wants to die, at least he will die in one place.

There was a guard at the gate of the small courtyard, at first Chu Yan thought it was Huang Yongqi who was worried about her and Qin Yuanshan's unforeseen needs, but now it became clear that this was just their guard.

The young man turned his back to them, and no one was in a daze for some reason, Chu Yan gently released Qin Yuanshan's hand, gestured for him to stay here and not move.

She picked up a stone with a diameter as long as half a palm from the ground, approached the boy lightly, and then smashed it hard on the back of the boy's head.The boy couldn't even hum, and fell crookedly on the ground.

Chu Yan went back to support Qin Yuanshan: "Let's go."

Qin Yuanshan laughed and didn't speak, but looked at her with gentle and bright eyes, as if he was very interested in her new side.

It's a pity that there is only one young man guarding the entrance of the small courtyard, but the back door is not so simple - two guards with swords are guarding the door, one on the left and the other on the right, with stern faces.

Chu Yan smiled wryly and glanced at the stone in her hand. This is a good move, but this trick is useless.

It was luck just now, and they caught people off guard. Now that these two are both martial arts practitioners, can she still repeat the old tricks?

At this time, Qin Yuanshan suddenly broke free from her support, and without warning, he reached out and pulled out the hairpin from Chu Yan's hair, a black hair slipped down unexpectedly, Chu Yan was startled, not knowing what he was going to do.

Qin Yuanshan only gestured her to silence her, and then slowly approached the door with a dignified expression.

What one of the guards was saying, to the effect that today we must be vigilant at 12 points, and watch carefully. This is an order from the magistrate himself.

While talking, he realized that the other party hadn't responded for a long time, so he turned his head to look at it. Unexpectedly, a sharp hairpin was pressed against his throat. Then he saw his companion who had fallen down at some time, and panicked. Before he could call for help, the hairpin was inserted into his throat.

These moves were brisk and ruthless, without delay, and the two guards fell to the ground in an instant.Chu Yan froze, watching Qin Yuanshan turn around gently, his face was pale but still smiling, obviously these few strokes took him a lot of effort, no wonder he let her support him all the time, it turned out he was nourishing his essence Recharge.

Those eyebrows and eyes are really the dais of distant mountains, distant and quiet, peaceful and warm, and those eyes are also bright like the rising sun, which always makes people see the radiance.

But Chu Yan's heart felt a little cold for no reason, because the two corpses lying on the ground were all killed by this seemingly gentle and affectionate man in front of him in the blink of an eye.Even though the circumstances dictated that she should not worry too much, she was still secretly startled by such decisiveness.

"Let's go." She finally returned a smile and supported him to move on.

Fortunately, fortunately, such a person is not her enemy.
