away from the heart

Chapter 161 The Happy Event Is Near 3
The mysterious man and Tang Ben threw off their pursuers and entered an unremarkable room. Tang Ben opened the window, "Here you can go down to the moat and leave the palace."

The mysterious man pretended to be kind, "Go first if you are injured, I will cut off the back."

Tang Ben coughed and made a weak voice, "Thank you for your understanding."

Tang Ben was very weak at this time, completely defenseless, turned around and wanted to go.The mysterious man suddenly stabbed Tang Ben's back with a dagger, and Tang Ben looked at the knife point and bleeding wound on his chest in astonishment.

Tang Ben's eyes widened, and he pointed at the mysterious man in disbelief, "You..."

The mysterious man sneered, "I'm sorry, you know too much, so I can't keep you."

Tang Ben spat out blood, "You are so cruel...", when he was about to pounce on the mysterious man, the mysterious man pulled out the dagger.

Tang Ben fell to the ground and died. The mysterious man opened the clothes on his chest, and the tattoo of "Liu Yun" was tattooed on his skin. The mysterious man cut off the skin with a dagger.The mysterious man whispered, "I will kill Xue Yao to avenge you."

At this time, Xue Yao rushed in, the window swayed, and the mysterious man had already left, only to see Tang Ben's body on the ground, his chest was already a bloody mass, and it was impossible to see what had been tattooed.

Xue Yao punched the wall bitterly, "It's one step too late."

In the Canary Palace, Chuyue sat by the window, staring outside without knowing what she was thinking.Hearing that Xi came in, she forced a smile: "You are back, did the assassin catch you?"

"I caught them all." Naxi said in a relaxed tone, "But during the fight just now, the wound accidentally opened again, please help me apply the medicine."

Chuyue nodded, came over and sat on the edge of the bed, holding the golden sore medicine in her hand, but she didn't move in a daze.Na Xi sighed softly: "Chuyue...I don't want to see you so sad again, how about...I go and ask the emperor to take back the will of granting the marriage?"

Chuyue shook her head violently, "You can do that for him because you really have him in your heart. Besides, I just saw you fighting side by side, what a tacit understanding..."

"I'm very grateful that you can think that way." Naxi held Chuyue's hand, "Then...can you do me one last favor?"

"What are you busy with?"

Naxi pointed to Chuyue's ankle: "Can you return the copper bell on your foot?"

The string of copper bells instantly became as hot as a soldering iron, so hot that Chuyue's voice trembled: "Return it to you? You mean, this copper bell is... yours?"

"This is the foot bell worn by the nobles of Xizhao for slaves. When Xue Yao was in Xizhao... I was the only slave, and I was the only friend." Naxi stretched out his hand, "I don't know why it landed on your feet, But now, can you give it back to me?"

It was as if his heart was being held tightly by a hand, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak.She still thought that this string of copper bells was a prison for Xue Yao, but it turned out to be the bond between Naxi and Xue Yao?Chuyue shrank back, holding back tears: "No, don't!" Na Xi suppressed his anger: "But he is about to become my husband."

"I know, but to untie the bell, one must tie it." On Chuyue's face, there was a stubbornness that Naxi had never seen before.

Xue Yao was discussing with Bai Liqi about the cause of Tang Ben's death when there was a heavy knock on the door.

"Yao'er, what the hell is going on with you!" My aunt angrily slammed on the door, just now people around her said that her nephew was going to marry the princess from Xi Zhaolai.

Bai Liqi hurriedly opened the door, and Xue Yao saluted respectfully.

My aunt held up a wedding invitation card, the red paper was so bright that it hurt people's eyes.

"I'm still alive, I don't agree to this marriage!"

Bai Liqi hurriedly explained to Xue Yao: "Madam, this is all the emperor's intention, and it has nothing to do with the general."

"Then hurry up and report to the emperor, you have withdrawn from this marriage, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Xue threw the wedding post on the table, pulled Xue Yao up and walked out.
