The hidden scholar's slender eyes were fragile and hollow. He slowly let go of his hand, and the slender fruit knife cut a hideous wound in his white palm.
Blood dripped from the palm of his hand, and the small blood stain quickly soaked into the tablecloth, like a pool of blood-red tears.
He stared blankly for a long time, then slowly exhaled the slightly sweet smell of blood in his throat, suppressing the surging blood in his lungs.
for a long time......
He expressionlessly took the handkerchief and wiped the blood from his palm casually, his thin scarlet lips curved into a gloomy smile: "You can pick it up and put it down."
Ming Lanruo felt inexplicably familiar with the cold and gloomy tone.
She was startled and immediately sat upright: "What did you say?"
Scholar Yin turned around and his voice returned to normal: "Nothing, have you finished bathing? After bathing, I will go down and prepare some midnight snacks for the princess."
Ming Lanruo was slightly startled, suspecting that seeing Cang Qiao was just her illusion.
The frail scholar stood by the window, still looking like his usual self.
She still nodded: "Okay, you go ahead, but don't call me Princess, it will easily reveal your identity. You should just call me the little lady of the Ming family."
Xiao Niangzi is a popular term for young women, and it can never go wrong.
"Yes, little lady." Scholar Yin left the room in silence.
Ming Lanruo packed up, stood up and turned around, only to see blood stains on the table and a red apple.
She frowned, did the scholar cut his hand? Why didn't he say a word?
She stood up a little uneasily and walked out the door.
By the time she came downstairs, the sky had completely darkened.
Only a dozen heavily armed officers and soldiers who were still searching were left in the lobby of the inn, drinking and eating meat. The guests had all hid in their rooms early, and no one dared to show up.
As soon as they saw her appear, the officers and soldiers began to glance directly at her dazzlingly beautiful face and slender figure.
This time, they drank too much and even raised their voices unscrupulously——
"Is this the one we saw on the bed during the search just now?"
"How's it going? Isn't this little girl from out of town pretty?"
"Hehe... the little face is really beautiful, with thin skin and tender flesh, leaning on the man's arms, tsk tsk..."
Ming Lanruo had a cold face and walked back.
Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, someone suddenly came up and surrounded her: "Oh, little lady, why are you hiding from us when you see us?"
The leader, who smelled of alcohol, was clearly the squad leader who came to search just now.
She clenched her fists and looked around them with a cold face: "What do you want to do?"
"Hey, why are you so cold-faced? This attitude is not a good citizen!" The squad leader laughed obscenely and approached her.
He was tall and tall, forcing Ming Lanruo to take two steps back with a look of disgust on his face to avoid the smell of alcohol.
Immediately, several officers and soldiers looked at each other and said with playful smiles: "The officers just want to search you, little lady, to confirm whether you are an assassin."
"Please stay with me, gentlemen, and I will ensure that you leave safely!" The team leader reached out his hand toward Ming Lanruo's chest.
This little girl smells so good that you can smell it even standing here.
Ming Lanruo narrowed his eyes dangerously, and silently touched a brocade bag in his sleeve.
But as soon as she moved, she heard a thin "chi". The squad leader's eyes widened instantly, he covered his nose and fell backward without saying a word.
A group of officers and soldiers were stunned, watching the squad leader suddenly foaming at the mouth on the ground, convulsing like a maniac, and soon began to bleed from his orifices.
They ignored Ming Lanruo and hurried up to check in panic: "Captain, what's wrong with you, Captain!?"
Ming Lanruo was also stunned. Why did this person arrive before she took action?
"Don't make any noise and come with me." A gentle and cold voice sounded low in her ears.
The next moment, someone grabbed her hand and ran back.
Ming Lanruo took a closer look and saw that the person pulling her to hide was actually a hidden scholar, and she didn't struggle. This chapter has been completed!
