Chapter 76

A few days later, Yu Songling and his party moved to the Prince's Mansion. Prince Dan Yu not only greeted them in person, but also hosted a banquet to welcome them. He was very considerate and showed the friendship of the landlord.During the banquet, Niwa took out the national wine Jade Immortal Lotion to entertain everyone.Watching Yu Songling raise his glass gracefully, Niwa's slightly drunken eyes flashed a hint of zhanyou's yuwang, and the firm and delicate skin like jade fat showed a faint amber luster against the dim lights. It is even more intoxicating than the old wine in hand.Looking at Chengying beside him, he has been sitting silently all the time, his deep black eyes are slightly lowered, he seems to be looking at the ground, and he seems to be thinking about something, the singing and dancing in front of him can't attract his attention at all, or maybe That said, he simply doesn't have that taste.When Niwa was toasting to everyone, Chengying would come back to his senses, take a drink from the glass, and then wipe his mouth with his sleeve. This rude action caused Niwa to feel disgusted, but he didn't show it. The look in Chengying's eyes softened even more.

"This is the expert who peeled off the leopard's skin on the mountainside during the last hunting." Niwa said with a smile, squinting his eyes to look at Chengying.

"Chengying has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Chengying stood up respectfully and saluted.

"Haha~~ Cousin Ling, you already have the appearance of a celestial being, how come the people around you are so handsome, I really feel jealous."

"My cousin won the award, Yan Guoling has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the talents bred are beautiful and beautiful." Yu Songling smiled modestly.

"In the future, when we are all in the same mansion, it is inevitable that I want to ask Mr. Chengying about swordsmanship. I hope that Mr. Cheng will not dislike me for being stupid."

"Chengying dare not!"

The three of them appeared to be friendly on the surface, but actually they had their own concerns, and the dinner came to an end amidst the secretly surging waves.

Suddenly there were several fighting sounds in the distance, and someone shouted: "There are assassins!" The archers ran to the source of the sound one after another, and the people at the banquet also fled everywhere like frightened birds.

"Protect the queen mother!" Yu Songling said in a deep voice.

"Okay." Cheng Ying stood up and disappeared into the night.

"Fourth prince, please follow me to a safe place." A guard came over and said.

"The person Yaoyue wants to kill the most should be me." Yu Songling thought to himself, "He raised his troops to take revenge in the open, but in fact he was spying on the emperor, and I was his biggest threat, besides, I killed Feimo , that person seems to be very important to him, and I am a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh. At this time, stay away from the queen mother and Cheng Ying, so that they will be safer." Thinking like this, Yu Songling followed the guards Evacuate to the house.

"Where is the prince?" Yu Songling looked around and asked.

"Back to the fourth prince, the prince has gone to direct the arrest of the assassin himself."

"Oh?" Yu Songling narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his lips, but he didn't say anything, and said silently in his heart, "Let's... just wait and see what happens."

"Why did you come back alone?" Empress Anya saw Cheng Ying breaking in through the window, her expression was hurried, she didn't blame him for being rude, she just asked anxiously, "Where's Ling'er? Why didn't he come with you?!"

"There are assassins." Cheng Ying answered Queen Anya's question with three simple words.

"There's an assassin?!" Empress Anya opened her eyes wide and shouted, "Then why don't you protect Ling'er well? What are you doing here?!"

"This is the meaning of the fourth prince, let me protect the queen's safety." Cheng Ying's answer was still concise.

"But Ling'er..."

"Queen, please don't worry, he is with the prince, and the prince will not let the fourth prince have an accident." Cheng Ying said calmly.

"Hehe~~ Naturally, I won't let the fourth prince have an accident." At some time, the prince Dan Yu was standing in the courtyard, the sneer on his face was colder than the ice and snow in the courtyard, "The person who will have an accident is you ah……"

Niwa quickly restrained the viper-like expression on his face, ran over quickly, and said worriedly: "The assassin is running this way, aunt is not injured, right?"

"I'm fine. Where's Ling'er? Where is he? He's not injured, right?" Queen Anya asked anxiously.

"Cousin Ling is safe. Don't worry, aunt. I have sent someone to send him to the secret room. He will not be in any danger. I am here to pick you up now." Dan Yu turned around and said to Cheng Ying, "Then A few assassins are very skilled in martial arts, and they have injured many of my masters, I wonder if Mr. Chengying would like to help me?"

"At the behest of the crown prince." Cheng Ying said, clasping her fists.

Suddenly a black shadow flashed from the bushes beside him.

"Chasing!" Prince Dan Yu yelled, and followed the direction of the shadow with the guards. Cheng Ying hesitated for a moment, but finally turned around and left with his sword clenched tightly.

"Wait!" Queen Anya stopped him, and waved her hand slightly to signal him to come over.

"What is the queen's order?" Cheng Ying stepped forward and asked respectfully.

"That black shadow is not an assassin." Queen Anya's voice was not loud, but she was very sure, "I have been fighting openly and secretly in this palace for more than 30 years, and I haven't learned any other skills, but I have read people's hearts. Thoroughly, Prince Niwa... is lying. His target is not the man in black."

Cheng Ying nodded her head in agreement, but said calmly, "So I'm going to find out."

"You..." Empress Anya looked at Chengying in amazement, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything in the end. waist, and suddenly murmured to Eunuch Gao beside him, "That Chengying... seems like the type Ling'er would like?"

Eunuch Gao, who has always been cautious in his words and deeds, thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is wise."

Cheng Ying chased the black shadow all the way to the garden, but he disappeared, and Prince Dan Yu disappeared together.Chengying pursed her lips, bowed her body slightly, and squinted her eyes to listen to the sounds around her, the rustling of leaves blown by the night wind and the whispers mixed in the wind.

"To the west." Cheng Ying silently drew the direction in his mind, but he didn't face the west. He just stood there quietly, put his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and held it even harder.

"Hmph, lightness skill is not bad." The "black shadow" finally showed his true colors, and slowly came out from behind the rockery, with thin eyebrows and thin lips, very frivolous, "I advise you not to make unnecessary resistance, the wine you drink has already Being given the colorless and tasteless Ruanjin powder, this is the unique secret recipe of our Xuegu school. Even a strong yak will be fascinated, let alone a human... tsk tsk tsk, judging by your appearance, you are also a beauty. It would be a pity if he died like this..."

Chengying didn't speak, but swung his sword and stabbed. After a few rounds, his chassis became unstable, and the speed of his sword dropped significantly.

"Haha~~ I told you not to make unnecessary resistance, how is it? Do you feel that your true energy is slackened and you can't gather your strength?" The frivolous man said with more complacency, "Hey~ originally It's not your fault that you begged for your master's appreciation and favor, but it's a pity that it's not good for you to seduce anyone, but you want to seduce the person that His Royal Highness is looking for, and in the end you lost your wife and lost your army. You can only blame your luck for falling into such a situation too poor."

Cheng Ying finally fell to the ground, listened quietly to the man's sarcasm, and said in a low and weak voice: "So, there are no assassins at all. The prince arranged this scene just to get rid of me."

"Haha~ You finally understand." The man's voice turned cold suddenly, he swung his sword and pointed at Chengying, the tip of the sword scratched his right hand, his voice was like ice, "Unfortunately, it's too late."
