(1/2)

At this time, Wei Yang also ran up: "Cousin? What happened here just now? I heard that an assassin came?"

Qinghan and I were not in a state of conversation for a while, so we nodded, Wei Yang looked at us again and asked, "Are you not injured?"

We shook our heads again.

Wei Yang frowned and looked up at the front door behind us. We had never been here before. Of course, he had never been there. He only looked at the row of walls like guards in front of him, which seemed particularly loud in the rain. He whispered: "I just heard a sound of a piano. It's very unusual. Is it the mountain captain of this academy and the one played by Nan Zhenyi?"

I nodded and was about to say something, Lu Sheng had already walked to us and said politely: "Miss, Senior Brother Liu, you guys should go back and rest first. The wind and rain are coming at night, and it's not good to get cold."

Only then did we find that almost all the other students had gone down, and only a few of us were still standing here. We nodded quickly and walked down with them.

When she returned to her residence, Su Su was also awakened. When she saw that we were wet, she hurriedly nagged to prepare hot water, towels, and hot tea for us. Qinghan and I wiped it for a while, and we were not in a hurry to sleep. They were all sitting in chairs drinking hot tea to drive away the cold. Zhesheng also came over when he heard the movement. Wei Yang relied on his health and wiped his hair with only a towel, and immediately asked: "What happened just now?"

I told them about what just happened.

Zhesheng gasped: "Are those assassins really coming to assassinate His Royal Highness?"

I said, "The person has already caught it, but it has not been tried yet. I think they should ask clearly tomorrow. If it is true-"

I'm afraid that the fifth uncle and his people have already penetrated into Xishan Academy.

Wei Yang stood aside and whispered: "Then, Nan Zhenyi is really not simple."

Zhesheng also said, "Yes, when I met Senior Brother Cha, Senior Brother Xiao and others before, I already thought they were very powerful, but I didn't expect that the mountain leader would be even more powerful."

The two of them were obviously very interested in Nan Zhenyi's piano sound to retreat to the enemy. Qinghan turned his head to look at my white lips and said softly: "Are you better? Are you not scared?"

I immediately laughed and said, "I was scared by that little thing. You forgot. I just took an umbrella and knocked down the little thief."

Qinghan also smiled and said, "I don't know when you will be able to do this, a female hero."

Wei Yang looked back at me: "Did my cousin knock down an assassin with an umbrella?"

I nodded with a smile, with a restrained expression of hiding and fame on my face.

Wei Yang said: "Then, those assassins are not very good at all."

“…”

"Even my cousin can't beat me."

My eyes were almost rolling over my head, and I smiled lightly. Then I was a little tired because I drove them back to rest first. After Wei Yang and Zhesheng left, I asked him, "Are you going back to rest too?"

He said, "Do you feel a little regretful that you didn't have time just now?"

I sighed and nodded.

Because of the sudden appearance of those assassins, we both focused completely on the front and didn't have time to look back. Now that this happened, Chabixing and the others would definitely focus on the Zhengli Gate, and it would be difficult for us to get closer.

It's so annoying!

Seeing me feeling a little depressed, Qinghan reached out and patted my shoulder and said softly: "Don't be anxious. Even if you can't see it in the past two days, as long as the discussion is over, Nan Zhenyi will never be able to avoid us. Your mother is the creator of that library. It is natural to know what happened there. It's just a matter of time."

He comforted me like this, and my heart calmed down a little: "Yeah."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw him yawning. I smiled and said, "Are you sleepy? You seem to be tired easily recently."

He himself smiled bitterly: "I don't know why."

"Maybe my mind has been exhausted so much these days. You can go back early to rest."

"Um."

Although he responded, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked a little hesitant. I looked at him: "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to tell me?"

“…”

Qinghan was silent for a while, and then said, "Do you think that what your cousin said just now actually makes some sense."

"What? What did Wei Yang say?"

"The skills of those assassins are really not very good."

“…?”

I was a little confused for a moment. After all, I was a completely out of the way of fighting and killing, and I couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but I knew that Xiao Yusheng and Cha Bixing were masters, and they could not be considered a bad thing if they were taken down by them.

Hearing me say this, Qinghan shook his head: "I'm not talking about this, but-Xishan Academy is very famous in Shu. Your uncle and the others cannot not know. If it is really that they are going to send people to Xishan Academy and deal with Nan Zhenyi, those assassins are simply hitting stones with eggs."

“…”

"and--"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "When they started fighting just now, did you see those assassins holding weapons?"

“…!”

My heart suddenly pounded.

No wonder I felt a little strange when I watched them fight on the top of it. I couldn’t even see a black figure, and I could only see some afterimages. Of course, I didn’t see any sword and sword shadows!

Xiao Yusheng and Cha Bixing were trying to catch the living, and they were afraid to use swords in front of Nan Zhenyi's door, but those assassins, from beginning to end, even when they were chasing me and Qinghan, did not see them taking out swords in their hands.

If I really came to assassinate the prince, how could I not have a knife in my hand?

Then I suddenly came to my senses: "Really!"

Qinghan nodded heavily.

I said, "Then, what did those people do?"

Qinghan took a deep breath and said, "This is just my guess. What's going on. I'm afraid it's time for those people to recruit you. Besides, Chabixing and the others are not blind, so they must have seen the problem, so they were tied up and put in the woodshed instead of interrogating them overnight."

I frowned when I heard him say this.

If these people were not "assassins" or were not here to assassinate the prince, that would be of course great, but that proves that there might be a group of people lurking in secret, and their purpose was also in Xishan Academy, and even on the mountain, between Nan Zhenyi and the prince.

Looking at my frowning look, he said softly: "Okay, you have a clear mind on this matter, so you don't have to worry too much about the safety of the prince. Nan Zhenyi will never let others get close to his residence. Tomorrow, we will go to Chabixing to ask what those people say."

I nodded.

He said softly: "Go to bed early."

He left after he said that. Although I was a little upset, I still listened to his words and cleaned it up and quickly got on the bed. The drizzle sounded softly on the roof, as if one doubt after another kept popping up in my mind. It was not until very late that I finally fell asleep.

I woke up early the next morning. I went over and woke Qinghan up and asked him to come over for dinner. He looked at my red eyes: "Didn't you sleep well at night?"

I said, "I want to sleep, but I didn't fall asleep very late."

He sighed: "You can't stay up late like this, it's not good for your health."

As he said that, he looked at me again and said, "After the matter here is over, I will go back to Bishan first and cultivate well for a few days."

I thought to myself, even if the argument of Xishan Academy has been solved, there are still many things in Chengdu, and I can’t even figure it out in my mind. Can I really go back to Bishan to cultivate?

After breakfast, we were about to go to Chabixing to ask about the "assassins". However, before we left, Chabixing came to us first.

As soon as he walked into my room, he immediately smiled and said, "Well, it smells so good. Miss, you can enjoy yourself so much when you come to the academy."

Then, I saw the food on the table at a glance, and my eyes immediately lit up.

"I want to eat too!"

Seeing his appearance, Qinghan and I couldn't help but shake our heads and smiled, and I said, "This is our leftovers."

"You have better leftovers than mine!"

I smiled and nodded to Susu. Susu also smiled and served him a bowl of porridge. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating it in big mouthfuls. Qinghan and I sat back to the table, looking at his eyes full of red blood, and the large blue-black area under his eyes, and said softly: "Didn't you sleep well?"

He stuffed something into his mouth and said vaguely: "Can you sleep well? I almost took half of my life to the master!"

"What's wrong with him?"

Chabixing sighed, but did not continue to say it. Instead, he swallowed the things in his mouth and said, "Miss, Senior Brother Liu, you saw those men in black last night. What exactly are they doing?"

Qinghan immediately said: "We saw that they wanted to climb over the wall, but what exactly were they doing? Their voice was very small and we didn't hear it."

Chabixing said: "These people are not like assassins. They don't bring any weapons on them. After being arrested, they don't choose to commit suicide like some dead soldiers in the world. Instead, they just stay in the woodshed."

“…”

Qinghan and I immediately looked at each other.

It seems that he guessed right.

I asked hurriedly, "What the hell are they here for? Have you asked?"

Chabixing said: "It's just this trouble. Although they are not dead men, their mouths are very hard. Our academy is not a execution ground, so naturally they will not torture them. Therefore, their origins may not be clear for a while."

Can't figure it out? How can it work?

It will eventually be a potential threat, but now, there are too many potential threats we face to be able to increase further.

My brow frowned and immediately thought about it: "I have a way!"

The two of them immediately turned to look at me: "What's the solution?"

"We can't find their origin, but they can go back."

“…”

Qinghan was stunned for a moment, but immediately came to his senses: "You mean, let them go?"

"Let them go and pretend to make them feel like they have a chance to escape. As soon as they escape, of course they will go back to find their master immediately."
To be continued...
