Chapter 231 The bride is lost
Wormwood touched the pebbles beside it and ejected towards one of the dangers in the darkness.
A scream of "Ah" suddenly sounded in the eerie night.
Dangers lurking everywhere emerge one after another.
In an instant, swords, swords and shadows loomed over the sky, and the Shen Mansion was plunged into a bloody storm.
Inside the room, Shen Lichuan sensed everything outside.
A temporary secret grid was cut out under the bed.
Shen Lichuan opened the bed board and said, "Hide here and don't come out."
Liu Wanting hid in the small space, revealing her bright black eyes, "What about you, are you in danger?"
"No, we are prepared."
Shen Lichuan put down the wooden board, spread the bedding on the floor on the bed, then picked up the knife, opened the door and went out.
The servants of the Shen Mansion have long been replaced by elite soldiers from the Tianji Battalion secretly trained by the prince.
The sky was black, without stars or moon, and the smell of blood dyed the ground red.
Shen Lichuan held a saber in his hand, his eyes dark and sharp.
The Shen Mansion was in chaos. Wormwood covered its face with a black face, revealing a pair of dark eyes. He slipped quietly through the eaves, followed the window, and got into the wedding room.
The room was dark and quiet, with mugwort creeping around the screen, the curtains were lifted, and the quilts on the bed were piled messily on the bed.
There was no one in the quilt.
As for the people, he only saw Shen Lichuan going out and no one else came in or out.
Wormwood is looking everywhere.
Liu Wanting, who was hiding in a secret compartment under the bed, was so frightened that she covered her mouth when she heard the slight sound of footsteps. She unconsciously tensed up her nerves and held her breath.
My heartbeat jumped into my throat.
Isn't it just a fake marriage? Why didn't anyone tell her that there would be danger?
Listening to the footsteps, Liu Wanting approached, wandered in a circle, and then moved away again. She took a breath as if she was about to suffocate, and the bed board was suddenly opened.
Liu Wanting was so frightened that she let out a trembling scream.
Ai Cao pulled away the black cloth covering her face and said, "It's me."
The dim light reflected mugwort's drooping and frowning eyebrows.
Liu Wanting's eyes widened in shock, "Luo, Luo Bai?"
"People outside are coming for you. It's dangerous here. I'll take you away." Ai Cao pulled Liu Wanting out of the small space under the bed.
Liu Wanting hesitated and broke away from Ai Cao's hand, "General Shen will protect me."
"He can't protect you." Ai Cao's eyes turned red anxiously, "The prince wants to kill you. Today it is an open killing, but tomorrow it may be an assassination!"
The sound of fighting outside kept approaching, but before Liu Wanting could give a reply, Ai Cao knocked the person unconscious with a palm.
He tore off the red bed curtain and tied Liu Wanting behind him.
When I opened the door and was about to leave, a man wearing a cold mask appeared at the door in shock.
Eyes facing each other.
Ai Cao touched a flying knife on his waist and shot it out suddenly. While the man was avoiding it, he had already slipped out of the room and ran towards the corridor around the corner.
Then he was blocked by Shen Lichuan again.
Shen Lichuan had a stern face, the knife he was holding was dripping with thick blood, and he was full of evil spirits, "Let her go!"
At the moment when Ai Cao paused, several sharp edges chased his figure from behind. Ai Cao suddenly jumped over, carrying Liu Wanting on his back, and rolled to the outside of the corridor.
The sharp edge passed by him and then came towards Shen Lichuan in front of him. Shen Lichuan swung his knife and the hidden weapon was shot down.
Immediately, the hidden weapon in the masked man's hand was like rain, and with an overwhelming momentum, he attacked head on again.
The knife in Shen Lichuan's hand kept resisting, and the swaying light seemed invisible and tangible, and the collision kept making a buzzing sound.
A piece of spiral darts with dark patterns lay at his feet.
Shen Lichuan's legs and feet were restrained, and the moment he saw the masked man leading Liu Wanting out of sight, Shen Lichuan's bulging eyeballs reflected the oncoming edge.
As soon as his blade turned, the hidden weapon wrapped around the tip of the blade flew out after chasing the figure of Mugwort like a ghost.
Ai Cao had just carried Liu Wanting up the wall, but she almost fell off the wall.
He turned around and pulled out the dart from his leg, then returned it with strong force.
He jumped off the wall and ran away lamely.
The darts are coming towards the masked man.
At the same time, Shen Lichuan slammed his feet on the ground, and waved a cold arc of light in his hand, like lightning flashing across the dark night. The offensive atmosphere was fierce, with the strength and experience of being on the battlefield.
The masked man subconsciously retreated. However, just for a moment, his wrist felt severe pain and blood poured out.
Shen Lichuan's knife was already placed on the masked man's neck: "Tell me, who sent you here?"
Before he finished speaking, the masked man fell down in front of him.
Shen Lichuan opened the mask with a knife, his lips were black and black blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth.
The person is already dead.
On the wedding night, the red silk swayed in the wind, and the sticky blood on the ground slowly flowed through the cracks in the bluestone.
Shen Lichuan gave the order, "Check the living people!"
He led another group of people and chased him out.
Wormwood pursed his lips tightly. The hidden weapon was poisonous. He dragged his injured leg all the way, climbed over the wall, and hid in the Zhao'an County Lord's Mansion.
The moment she just dodged, her calf was injured, so Ai Cao limped and put Liu Wanting on the bed.
He dug out the medicinal powder again and opened his trouser legs. The wound was deep and the surrounding skin was filled with a black gas.
He took an antidote that temporarily suppressed the poison, simply bandaged the wound, wiped off the blood on the ground with his clothes, and destroyed the clothes to remove traces of the body.
After changing back to her usual clothes, Liu Wanting woke up.
Liu Wanting rubbed the back of her neck and looked at the unfamiliar room, "What's going on?"
Ai Cao didn't explain too much, "I'll take you to see the County Lord of Zhao'an. No matter what happens in a while, as long as the County Lord is here, she can protect you."
Ai Cao took Liu Wanting to Ruan Ningxiang's residence.
"The Lord of Zhao'an County."
Ruan Ningxiang seemed to have someone calling her in her sleep. She opened her eyes drowsily and saw Mugwort and Liu Wanting beside her.
Ruan Ningxiang once thought she was dreaming.
Until mugwort plopped down and knelt in front of the bed, "Please help the county master hide her for me."
Ruan Ningxiang finally regained consciousness.
He sat up and stared blankly at the mugwort.
Is this man so tough that he actually snatched the bride back late at night?
If you snatched it away, why would you give it to her and hide it in her room?
Ruan Ningxiang felt something was wrong dully, "Are you injured?"
Ai Cao's face was pale and his voice was hollow, "The prince sent someone disguised as an assassin from Beidu Kingdom to assassinate the Shen family late at night. I took the opportunity to rescue her."
"Does Ziyu know?" Ruan Ningxiang has completely sobered up from the wine.
Ai Cao was silent for a moment, then fell to the ground, "She is innocent. Please help me protect her, Lord Zhao'an."
After saying that, Ai Cao stood up and was about to leave. Liu Wanting held him back and said, "You are injured. Where are you going like this?"
"The people from the Shen Mansion will be able to follow the blood traces and find them soon. I can't bring trouble to the Zhao'an County Lord's Mansion."
"If you leave, I will leave too," Liu Wanting said stubbornly.
"Okay, we are all a family, no matter how we are involved or not." Ruan Ningxiang stood up and said, "We are all staying here, and we are not allowed to go anywhere."
"County Lord." Ai Cao looked over guiltily.
"Don't worry, I have a way."
