At dinner time, Prince Chun was not there. I heard that he was entertaining some distinguished guests from the palace in the front yard. Li Luo and all the princesses in the palace ate at Caiyaxuan. During the dinner, they had delicacies from the mountains and seas, fine wines and delicacies, which was extremely luxurious.
After dinner and the juggling troupe invited by the mansion, it was really lively for a long time.
Li Luo didn't like these things very much, but Luo was happy and stayed with him to show his filial piety.
By the time everyone in the Luo family had finished enjoying themselves, it was already midnight. Li Luo said goodbye to everyone and returned to Qingxin Tower. Su Xue had not rested yet, so he leaned in front of the table and closed his eyes and took a deep sleep under the candle.
Su Xue woke up when she heard the sound of the door. She stood up and looked around. She saw Li Luo tiptoeing in. She quickly gathered her hair and called out softly: "Master, you are back."
"Well, I woke you up." Li Luo smiled slightly.
Su Xue's face turned red and she responded nervously: "I'm feeling a little sleepy after waiting. I'm going to make tea for you now."
"No need." Li Luo waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, you go and have a rest."
"That slave is waiting for the young master to rest."
Li Luozhan smiled and said, "You don't have to wait for me so late in the future. I'll be fine by myself."
"This is the duty of a servant..." Before Su Xue could finish her words, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the courtyard. The rules of Prince Chun's Mansion were strict, and such noise was quite unexpected.
Li Luo and Su Xue looked at each other, wondering what had happened.
Su Xue was about to go out of the house to check when she heard someone shouting: "There is an assassin."
Li Luo was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Su Xue and shouted: "Don't go out." After that, he rushed out of Qingxin Tower.
There was a chaos of people outside the courtyard, with many servants of the palace running away. The fire in the front yard was dimly visible, reflecting bursts of dark red color. Li Luo grabbed a servant who was running away in a hurry, and asked in a loud voice: "What happened? Where did it come from?
assassin?"
When the servant saw it was the young prince, he cried and said: "Young prince, run away quickly. Many assassins came to the front yard and killed many people. All the Tiger Guards were killed."
"Nonsense!" Li Luo shouted. The Tiger Guards are Prince Chun's personal guards. They are warriors who are as good as ten, selected from thousands of Prince Chun's soldiers. Several of their leaders are Li Luo's daily martial arts instructors.
He is extremely skilled in adapting martial arts, and he is loyal to Prince Chun. How could he let the assassins kill them all with such little effort?
Li Luo shouted loudly: "You see clearly, what is going on in the front yard, if you tell any lies, I will definitely punish you for spreading rumors and disturbing your mind."
The servant was frightened, and then he calmed down and said: "Back to the young prince, I didn't go to the front yard. I just heard from other servants that the tiger guard was killed. The younger one deserves to die, the younger one deserves to die."
When he was about to kneel down and kowtow, Li Luo pulled him up and shouted angrily: "When did this happen? Please find a place to hide first. If there is a fire in the inner palace, let the general's steward take care of it."
People are putting out fires, but with Tiger Guards in the house, assassins will never be allowed to run rampant."
"Yes, I will tell the steward right away." After the servant said that, he hurried out.
Su Xue ran to Li Luo's side, and the shouts of killing could be heard in the distance from the front yard. Looking at the flickering fire, Su Xue's face suddenly turned pale, her expression changed several times, and her body trembled slightly.
Li Luo turned around and saw Su Xue following him, and said hurriedly: "Go back quickly, don't run around outside."
Su Xue stood still as if he was crazy. He didn't know whether he was overly frightened or something. Li Luo was anxious and dragged Su Xue back to Qingxin Building, grabbed his sword and ran outside. Only then did Su Xue come back to his senses.
With a sigh, he stretched out his hand to catch Li Luo but missed. Li Luo had already rushed out of Qingxin Tower.
Su Xue was shocked and turned pale, and hurriedly chased him out. As soon as he reached the door, Li Luo turned back and said to Su Xue: "Su Xue, quickly find a place to hide." After saying that, he rushed out again, and Su Xue just shouted.
Calling "Little Prince", Li Luo rushed out of Qingxin Tower again.
Su Xue hurriedly followed. Before he could leave the hospital, Li Luo turned back again. When he saw Su Xue, he said quickly: "Don't hide in Qingxin Building. This place is not safe. Go to Zhuyuan." After saying this, Su Xue said.
After saying that, he ran out. Su Xue was anxious and angry, gritted his teeth, and chased after Li Luo in the direction he ran out.
Li Luo ran out of Qingxin Tower and looked around. The killing cries in the front yard increased instead of abating. It seemed that the assassin was coming with a lot of ferocity.
Li Luo frowned, he didn't expect anyone to dare to disturb Tai Sui. You must know that Prince Chun holds the most elite Dingbei army in Dagang, with millions of soldiers and a forest of masters under his command. The guards of Prince Chun's palace are comparable to those of the imperial palace.
The inner garden did not give in too much, and was actually killed by assassins.
Li Luo calmed down. Prince Chun was in the front yard, which must be where the assassins were plotting. Experts were fighting against each other. If he went to the front yard, he would only get in the way and add more variables. Li Luo worried about his mother's safety and hurriedly ran to Luo's house.
Ju Yong Pavilion.
Not far from the Changchun Courtyard was the Juyong Pavilion. Li Luo walked in a hurry. Normally, he didn't realize how big the palace was. But now that he had just arrived at the Changchun Courtyard, there was already sweat on his face.
Suddenly, Li Luo stopped, and two masked men in black appeared not far away, one tall and one short, as if they were searching for something.
A servant in the mansion was so panicked that he didn't see the two of them, so he bumped into them like a chicken. Suddenly he saw the man in black not far in front of him. He turned pale with horror and shouted: "Stab..." Before he finished speaking, he spoke louder.
The sharp blade of the man in black flashed out from his hand, his head flew up, and blood burst out from his neck. The head hit the ground with a muffled sound, and rolled over, stopping just a few feet away from Li Luo.
The courtyard was lit by candles and lights, but he had a horrified look on his face and refused to close his eyes.
Li Luo hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, almost screaming, and hid behind a tree. He didn't dare to make a sound. He could only hear the heartbeat in his chest like a drum, and he was about to jump out.
"Is this here?" the tall man in black said coldly.
"We're almost there." The short man in black responded in a low voice. His voice was cold, and it was actually a woman's voice. However, Li Luo was distracted and had no time to distinguish.
The tall man in black snorted coldly, glanced at his companions, and said in a cold voice: "Do you still miss the old days?"
"Nonsense." The short man in black shouted harshly, and the voice reached Li Luo's ears. Li Luo was stunned and let out an involuntary sigh.
