It was a delicate lantern, and at first glance it looked like it was made by a skillful man. Li Taoyao thought about it, remembering the fish-patterned sword that her mother had always carried with her, but now she didn't know where it had gone.

The two went out of the pear forest together, and as Shi Wen'er said, the sky was getting darker and darker. In addition to the unknown insects screaming around, there was also a sudden howl of unknown beasts from the distant mountains.

There was not even a single figure in the villa, only the "rustling" footsteps of Li Taoyao and Honggu. In this silent and empty night, the sound was particularly loud, as if echoing all around.

Li Taoyao couldn't help but be scared in her heart, Wei Youqing was practicing, and Wei Rong went back to the front. Except for the two young men who raised their shoulders when they entered the door, Li Taoyao didn't see a man in this villa.

Li Taoyao glanced back at Wanquan Mountain, which seemed to rise into the clouds in the night behind her, and always felt that there seemed to be many unknowable dangers hidden in it.

Li Taoyao grabbed Honggu's hand and said in horror: "Honggu, is there no man here?" Why are there only maids? Doesn't there need to be guarded in this village? ”

Honggu was uneasy about Li Taoyao's restlessness, and when she heard that she was for this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't be afraid, princess, our house and Zhuangzi are all dark whistles, and they won't come out if they have nothing to do." ”

Li Taoyao put her mind at ease, although she still felt that there was no place around her, as if someone was staring at her, but she thought that since there was a secret whistle, it was probably because she was too careful, or it could be the sound of raindrops beginning to dense and hitting the trees and flowers.

Although the spring rain was silent, when the two returned to the house, most of their clothes were still wet. Honggu was worried that Li Taoyao was weak and afraid that she would not be able to bear the cold, so she cooked ginger soup for Li Taoyao to drink.

When everything is cleaned up, it is close to the fourth watch. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and it was a torrential downpour that was rarely seen in spring.

Listening to the "whooshing" rain outside, Li Taoyao's fear in her heart was even worse. She didn't dare to sleep alone, so she let Honggu sleep with her.

Just when Li Taoyao was groggy and finally about to fall asleep, there was a flash of lightning, and Li Taoyao was in a daze and saw a figure reflected in the window!

This surprise was not trivial, Li Taoyao was so frightened that she exclaimed "ah", waking up the Honggu beside her, and Honggu shouted: "What person? The figure ran with his feet raised, and was kicked down by the guards who arrived at the sound.

Li Taoyao's fear reached its peak, and she trembled with nervousness. Seeing this, Honggu hugged Li Taoyao tightly and comforted her again and again: "Don't be afraid, princess, the assassin has been caught." ”

Li Taoyao looked at Honggu blankly, and repeated Honggu's words again: "Assassin, has you been caught?" ”

Honggu nodded very affirmatively, seeing that Li Taoyao was still full of panic and hesitation, she dressed Li Taoyao, helped her get out of bed, and opened the door to check.

Just in time to see a guard pinch the man's jaw and pull a capsule-like thing out of the man's mouth.

The guard kicked the man and said hatefully, "Want to die? Now is not the time! ”

The guard saw Honggu holding the frightened Li Taoyao out to check, and hurriedly came over and knelt down to salute: "The subordinates are not well guarded, so Mrs. is frightened." ”

When Li Taoyao heard the title of "Mrs.", a strange feeling surged up in surprise. I forgot about my fear.

It took a long time to come to his senses, and he saw that the guard was short and lean, with dark skin, and it was the short man who carried himself to the hot springs in the middle of the mountain last night. The short man didn't hear Li Taoyao speak, thinking that Li Taoyao was to blame, and the guilt in his heart was even deeper.

Li Taoyao noticed the other party's uneasiness, and hurriedly said: "It's raining so hard, it's hard to hear the sound, you guys are already coming quickly, hurry up." ”

"Look at what! Submit! ”

Li Taoyao heard the scolding not far away, and when she looked up, she saw that the assassin who was caught, her face was covered with blood, and even if she was held down by several people, she was still stubbornly staring at her, as if she knew her.

Li Taoyao was horrified, and the assassin was immediately escorted away, but before he was escorted away, he still stared at Li Taoyao, and his eyes glanced down the corridor.

After the assassin was escorted away, Li Taoyao looked at the place where the assassin had been staring at in confusion, but the place was very clean by the heavy rain, only the glowing bluestone slabs and a few green grasses, and nothing else.

Honggu saw that the assassin had been escorted away, and Li Taoyao was not as scared as she was just now, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was still early at this moment, Honggu gently persuaded Li Taoyao to go back to bed and lie down.

The rain outside was much lighter than just now, and finally gradually turned into a light rain, Li Taoyao listened to the rustling rain, became sleepy, and fell asleep again.

In the hot spring pool, Wei Youqing, who was meditating, moved his ears. He has excellent ear power, and Li Taoyao lives in the east wing outside the hot spring pool, which is not far away.

Li Taoyao's terrifying exclamation made Wei Youqing open his eyes suddenly, and he jumped up from the bottom of the hot spring pool. However, the guards of Mid-Levels Villa were closer and reacted quickly, and when Wei Youqing arrived, he happened to see the assassin being subdued by the guards.

Wei Youqing, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at everything in front of him coldly, and was suspicious in his heart, this assassin didn't seem to have high kung fu, and he was not a person in the villa, but he didn't know how he got into this seemingly lax, but actually heavily guarded mid-mountain villa?

It wasn't until the assassin's eye contact with Li Taoyao fell into Wei Youqing's eyes that Wei Youqing seemed to understand something in his heart. He never showed up, staring at Li Taoyao's door in the dark.

After a while, Wei Youqing saw Honggu walking out of the room, he flashed to Li Taoyao's door, and probed Li Taoyao's breath inside, but found that Li Taoyao was already asleep.

Wei Youqing breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Li Taoyao really did not recover his memory. He listened to Li Taoyao's sluggish breathing, and knew that she was really frightened by this assassin, and he couldn't help but feel pain and pity in his heart.

The guards did not dare to relax after the assassin was taken away, and all of them went out to search everywhere, except for Shi Wen'er who was driven out in Lilin, and did not even let go of the rat nest in other places.

The short man who apologized to Li Taoyao just now was the captain of the guard on duty tonight, named Wa Bat, the son of Wa Hong, the patriarch of the Eagle Clan, and the younger brother of Shi Wa Cricket, the chief craftsman of Wei Youqing's weaving yard.

Seeing Wei Youqing's figure suddenly appear on the porch at some point, Wa Bat was taken aback and hurriedly appeared to meet him.

He was just about to speak, Wei Youqing made a silent gesture and whispered: "That assassin can't let him die if he is careful, let Mi Tuan'er go to trial, be sure to let him speak." ”

Wa Bat agreed and left. Wei Youqing walked over to the place where the assassin had been staring at just now to take a closer look. He believed that since the assassin had left a message for Li Taoyao, he must let Li Taoyao find it.
