As dawn dawned, the horizon of the imperial capital seemed to be touched gently, gold and vermilion blended, and the curtain behind the stage slowly opened. The streets and alleys are already crowded with people, people from all walks of life are commotion, and the atmosphere is gradually becoming tense.
Walking side by side with Shengxia on the way to the venue, I clenched my fists and sensed the aura of spies and secret guards around me. In today's battle, I am determined to turn everything upside down. Shengxia obviously felt my nervousness,"Ai Bu Xing, what's wrong? Are you scared?" A provocative smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
I glanced at her and said,"Afraid? Me? Ha, who do you think I am? Don't worry, we will have an eye-opening experience tonight." The arrogant tone was enough to cover up the breeze in my heart.
Breaking into His Highness the Second Highness’s banquet, it was very lively. The strange thing is that the noisy surface cannot cover up the murderous intention in the dark. There are countless sharp knife edges hidden under the luxurious decoration. The arrival of midsummer and I is undoubtedly like throwing a huge stone into the sky, causing ripples.
Luo Shaoyuan is like a lone master, invisible in the crowd, noble and proud. His eyes are as sharp as a hunter, silently scrutinizing every guest, and no slightest movement can escape his discernment.
「Midsummer, go greet Luo Shaoyuan first."I ordered in a low voice, and the plan was decided,"Maybe you can get a chance by making him angry."
Shengxia raised her eyebrows, already understanding my intention, she smiled softly,"Leave it to me."
In a short while, the heroes were vying for the throne. A small farce was staged on the stage. Luo Shaoyuan's face was as iron-faced, while Shengxia withdrew as if nothing had happened. A plan within a plan, this is the beginning of a secret warning.
However, I never expected that just as the banquet was reaching its climax, an assassin quietly approached me. In the midst of the turmoil, I felt a sense of crisis in my heart, but it turned out to be a vicious attack! The moment I fell to the ground, my vision was blurry.
The assassin has been controlled, and His Highness is furious. Midsummer rushes to me like fallen leaves returning to their roots, with tears in my eyes and my hands and feet at a loss."Ai Bu Xing! Ai Bu Xing, how are you?"
I shook my head in pain and wanted to reach out and touch her face, but I found that my hand was bloody."Haha, it seems that I have really seen it this time." Even at the critical moment of life and death, I did not forget to joke.
But I knew in my heart that this was a premeditated attempt to break the alliance between me and Shengxia, and perhaps also to kill us.
Shengxia looked decisively and pulled the assassin,"Who sent you? Why did you attack Ai Bu Xing?"
The assassin curled his lips, mocking mixed with arrogance,"Ha, you want to know? Go ask the people who arranged this scene. Come on."
At that time, His Highness the Second Highness stepped forward, glanced at him, and said,"Take me down." His words were brief but showed his determination.
The banquet came to an end for the time being, and I was sent to the secret room for treatment. My consciousness gradually blurred, but in the hallucination, I heard Shengxia's oath,"Ai Buxing, you have to hold on! I will find out who did it, and I will not let him go!" Tossing and turning, in pain , I vaguely felt that the gears of fate had turned again, and the illusion of troubled times was tangled. I vaguely remember that this banquet is just the tip of the iceberg, and Shengxia and I will face an even more shocking storm of power.
While semi-conscious, I felt something cold touch my lips, and a stream of astringent liquid flowed down my throat. Along with the piercing pain, I slowly regained some consciousness. Sheng Xia was anxiously pouring medicine into me and patting my cheek,"Ai Bu Xing, don't sleep, did you hear me?"」
「Tsk, wasn’t it just like being stabbed?……」I grinned and tried to lighten the mood. The tears shining in the eyes of the tough woman in front of me made me feel uncomfortable.
After I drank the life-saving potion indiscriminately, important things had to continue. After I regained my composure in bed, I couldn't help but chuckle,"We still have a big puzzle that we haven't solved yet."
Shengxia pursed her lips,"I won't let them go. I've found a clue, but......」
I knew she was hesitating, but she wouldn't know that. I had expected this scene."Little girl, show your domineering attitude and kill when it's time to kill. We are not doing charity." I joked, but I had already made up my mind that I would definitely get this debt back.
Sparks reignited in her eyes,"Okay, let's go together."
As the night turned dark, Shengxia and I quietly left the secret room and sneaked towards the city guard's base camp. There lies the truth that could reveal the entire conspiracy. In the palace on the way, we were like two shadows, shuttling through the sealed imperial capital, one staggering and the other shut up.
It is easy to turn the city guard's arsenal upside down. I took out a small and delicate steel needle from the crack in the wall,"Mong Xia, help me pick out these guys who destroyed the corpses and wiped out traces." I handed it to her tacitly.
「No problem, boss!" Shengxia agreed playfully, but her movements were shockingly sharp.
After a while, the Chutian was filled with dying figures. I grabbed a guy who seemed to have a high status and said,"Tell me, who sent you?" The tone was calm, but the coldness in it was clear.
In fact, I also understand that Luo Shaoyuan's goal is just the tip of the iceberg. He tried to get rid of me and Shengxia in one fell swoop, and cut off the sharp claws of the Jiang family.
Shengxia and I looked at each other and smiled. This time the plan went smoothly. Luo Shaoyuan must have been an ant on the hot pot. Everything is going on quietly, perhaps, it is a reversal that they cannot grasp.
Taking advantage of the cover of darkness, we returned to the battlefield. The questions swirling in my mind are even deeper. Everything is going so smoothly, is there any hidden secret?
His Highness also seemed to have noticed something. When he saw us returning, he hurriedly paced over."Have you found evidence?" He couldn't hold back the nervousness in his heart.
I smiled helplessly,"The evidence has been in front of us for a long time, but we were blinded."
As the Second Highness, he couldn't help but frown. He knew that what happened today would definitely affect the whole body, and he didn't want to see it. The imperial capital is plunged into an endless war because of us
「Don't think too much." I patted His Highness on the shoulder, but my attitude seemed relaxed."Isn't it just to have more fun? Let's see who laughs last."
Sheng Xia stretched out her hand to cover her face. On the back of my hand, there is no more hesitation in my eyes."This time, we will definitely win."
This makes me sigh. In this complicated game of power, sometimes I feel like a joke, a clown. But the real temperature tells me that I am not fighting alone, just like the rising dawn, giving me the most real hope.
The battle is still going on, and this time, Shengxia and I will never lose easily.
