No.68 A group of monsters "Who?!" Xiaodie yelled, stood up suddenly, took the footbath with her, and headed straight towards the flying knife.

There was only a "duh" sound, and the flying knife was deflected by Xiaodie's move, and then there was the sound of "crash" foot washing water pouring out, and then there was another "duh" sound, and the flying knife was steady. Plug it firmly into the door of a nearby cabinet.

"Seeking death!" Xiaodie cursed, and without knowing what Aoxue was doing, she turned over and ran out of the window.

That speed is as agile as a female leopard!

Only then did Aoxue realize that this girl, who was usually carefree and fond of gossip, was actually a master!

She turned her head and looked at the flying knife that had just shot in. The black handle and the shining steel blade were three inches into her eyes, shining with a cold metallic light under the candlelight.

On such a night, her heart was seized in an instant.

There is an assassin! Such words should be shouted or should not be shouted?

However, the other party did not give her such a chance. The curtain moved and a black shadow quickly came in.

It’s over, let the tiger leave the mountain! That idiot Xiaodie!

Aoxue cursed secretly in her heart, but she didn't dare to show any timidity on the outside.

The original Shen Aoxue had strong martial arts skills and stunning talents; the original Shen Aoxue was a beauty with thin armor and attacked the enemy at night; the original Shen Aoxue had been fighting for many years and was extremely intelligent; I don’t know that I have experienced such a secret assassination. How many times!

If you are scared now, it would be strange to be so scared that you would ask someone to protect you!

Besides, if we are facing a powerful enemy, if we take the first step to disrupt our position, we will definitely be defeated like a mountain!

Aoxue suppressed the fear in her heart and picked up the foot towel placed beside the bed. Without raising her head, she just wiped Bai Xi's feet carefully, as if what was shot in just now was just a small knife and could not enter her. Eye.

"See Master Snow!" Suddenly, a male voice sounded.

Aoxue then raised her head and saw a man in black bending down on the ground, his forehead hitting the ground. His appearance was blocked by a black scarf, and his face could not be seen. However, it was still easy to hear the respectful attitude in his voice.

Call her Master Snow, then he should be her subordinate, at least, he should be an existence n levels lower than her!

Since she deliberately lured Xiaodie away, this must be an unknown existence. Her first reaction was that he belonged to the prince.

That man, even to make an appointment with her, had to use a flute that was so concealed that only she could hear it, let alone his subordinates.

"Why are you here now?" she asked calmly.

The man in black was stunned for a moment and then immediately replied: "Xuan State has deployed troops on the border. After receiving the news, the prince returned to the capital without stopping. Only yesterday he ordered his subordinates to deliver things to Master Xue." After that, the man in black came from. He took out a brochure from his chest and held it up respectfully with both hands.

Sure enough, he is from the prince!

It turns out that the prince has forgotten the information about Anmei that has not been sent for so many days! If he can forget it, it means that the matter about Anmei is not important at all! Then, His Highness the Crown Prince chased him from the capital to Rong with such eagerness. What is the city for?

She looked at the person who came. Although he was from the prince, theoretically he would not be here to assassinate her. However, he was dressed in night clothes and had just exposed his hands. She really didn't dare to take it lightly, so she said "Yes" , pretending to be nonchalant and continuing to wipe his feet, he just said lightly, "Put the things on the table."

"Yes!" The answer was sonorous and forceful. The man in black did not have any doubts and immediately stood up and put the booklet on the table.

"The prince ordered you to be careful." From the beginning to the end, the man in black never raised his head, then turned over, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

Aoxue's originally nervous heart suddenly relaxed. She didn't bother to wipe her feet and crossed her legs directly on the bed. After sitting there for half a minute, she suddenly jumped out of bed, carefully avoiding the water stains on the floor, and placed her clothes on the table.

He took the booklet in his hand and flipped through a few pages. After seeing that it was full of dense handwriting, he jumped on the bed again, pressed the booklet under the pillow, and then called out "Here comes someone."

Immediately, four maids came in. Aoxue pointed her chin to the ground and simply said: "Clean up."

"Yes." The maids immediately walked out, and soon came in with a new pair of shoes and a rag.

The shoes were placed beside the bed. Aoxue walked down wearing the shoes. The four maids picked up the rags and carefully wiped the water dry.

At this time, Xiaodie also rushed back from outside. After galloping in the night wind, her temples were a little messy and there was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

"How is it? Is there any harvest?" Aoxue asked knowingly.

"I ran too fast and couldn't catch up!" Xiaodie felt regretful that she couldn't express. "Princess, how are you? Has anyone been here?"

Aoxue wanted to say that no one came, but when the words came to her lips, she suddenly changed to: "A few people came and escaped."

"They're lucky this time!" Xiaodie walked to the cabinet, pulled out the flying knife, and observed it carefully. After seeing that there was nothing special about the flying knife, let alone any special logo, she snorted again.

,"act recklessly!"

While they were talking, the four cleaning maids had already wiped the floor dry. Seeing Aoxue and Xiaodie talking, they quietly retreated.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong. You should go to bed early." Aoxue walked to the bed again, looking like she was about to sleep.

Xiaodie hurriedly walked to the window, closed the originally open window, then walked out and carefully closed the door.

Seeing Xiaodie leaving, Aoxue hurriedly took out the booklet she had hidden just now from under her pillow and read it carefully.

Damn it! What a secret! I thought it was a secret guard or shadow guard organization similar to what I saw in the ancient saying, but it turned out to be a group of criminals!

This booklet, from the first page to the last page, is full of cases!

If there is anything different about these cases, there is none. They are either thefts or the annihilation of prostitution!

The more serious ones are murders due to theft and killings due to annihilation and adultery.

The murder weapon, judging from the description, should be a jagged knife! The wound on each corpse was at the neck artery, and they were killed with one knife.

The only strange thing was the stolen items. From beginning to end, she didn't see anything priceless. They were all food.

And the areas with the highest incidence of cases are brothels!

A brothel, with both women and delicious food!

Alas, I thought I had such a high status with the prince, but after working for a long time, it turned out that I was investigating the case for the prince!

Is it possible that classmate Shen Aoxue has the talent of Di Renjie or Conan?!

Aoxue then began to read the transcripts of the parties involved. She didn’t know what to expect. When she read it, she was actually shocked!

According to the records of the parties concerned, the first characteristic of these criminals is: they are fast! They are so fast that they cannot see their figures clearly!

The second characteristic: Slippery! This characteristic is provided by prostitutes who never died after having sex with criminals.

The third characteristic: fishy smell! Anyone who has been in contact with criminals has smelled a strong or light fishy smell.

According to a few people who have seen the criminal at close range, the criminal's head is triangular, his eyes are lopsided, his head is bald, and his appearance is definitely not human!

Aoxue suddenly thought that she had encountered one like that that night in the kitchen of General Shen's Mansion!

But what exactly is that thing?

She looked at the book in her hand that was densely packed with case details, and remembered what the prince said that day, that these should only be cases that occurred after she married Li Tianyou. She hurriedly looked at the time and place of each case!

Sure enough, it was a group of monsters! The crime was usually committed in the middle of the night, and several such cases often occurred in the same night, and the places of occurrence were either in nearby counties or thousands of miles apart.

After all, is this a collective and purposeful crime, or is it a scattered group of people with the same hobbies?!

What exactly are these monsters? Could it be that in this imaginary ancient times, some experts actually researched aliens?

Her little curiosity prompted her to turn through the cases page by page, and by the time she finished reading the entire book, the night was already half over.

She closed the book and thought about all the facts of the case, but she always felt that there was something left unexplained.

Since it was just for food and women, they could have just stolen and robbed. Why did so many people die because of this?

She remembered that the last time she was in the Shen family's kitchen, the monster showed no signs of killing her. On the contrary, the monster escaped quickly. So why...

Early the next morning, Aoxue slept for a while. When she got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning and everyone was waiting for her.

After washing up slowly, she walked downstairs from the inn.

Outside, a row of horse-drawn carriages occupied half of the street, and flags with the big word "you" written on them were held high in the air, flying wildly.

The guards at the back quickly gathered at the order from the head guard and lined up behind the carriage in high spirits.

When Shen Aomei heard that Aoxue was coming, she hurriedly got out of the carriage and bowed to greet her.

Aoxue stood at the door of the inn, but smiled and said: "I have something to do, please go back first!"

"Sister, what's the matter with you? Why don't you go back to the palace with your sister?"

"What's the matter with me? I don't need to report it to you, right?" Aoxue asked with a smile. What could be wrong with her? She was just really interested in the monster group called "Dark Charms" and wanted to pursue the case.

.

"No, no, I am the royal concubine. There is no need to tell my sister." Shen Aomei hurriedly explained, "It's just that my sister is thinking that if she doesn't return to the palace now, she must have very important things to do. At least she will be used to it.

In the next few days, Wu, if he can work with his sister, it might be helpful."

"The rivers and lakes are dangerous. How dare I, the elder sister, take my sister into danger together." She smiled, "Besides, my sister is shouldering the heavy responsibility of the family. In the future, our Shen family will have many places where we need to rely on my sister. Now, Xuan Guo

The prince must be very busy with the troops stationed on our border and needs someone to comfort him. If my sister is in the capital, the chance of meeting her by chance is higher than outside."

"But sister..." Shen Aomei opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

"No but, you go back to Beijing first." Aoxue's tone was a little harder, she turned to look at the maid behind Aomei, and ordered, "Help the young lady get in the car."

Seeing that her efforts were futile, Shen Aomei reluctantly got into the second carriage.

A smile appeared on the corner of Aoxue's mouth, she turned around and waved to the head guard. After he came over, she ordered: "You guys should go back too, I don't need anyone to follow you."

The head guard answered simply, "Yes!"

In his opinion, the princess was so good at martial arts that the reason why she brought so many guards with her on this trip to visit relatives was just for show and was not of much use. It was just right to ask them to go back now.

"Mother Su, you should go back too!" Aoxue turned around and said to Mother Su who was standing behind her. That's right, she doesn't need to bring a spy with her, even if the spy is just a spy from the ancestor of the Shen family.

I feel uncomfortable, that's all.

That day, when her ancestor told her to pay attention to her words and deeds, she knew that there was a spy around her, and the only ones who followed her from the Shen family to Prince You's Mansion were Su's mother and Xiaodie.

Xiaodie's personality may not be suitable for being a spy. Besides, she secretly checked the whereabouts of Su's mother in the Shen family.

That day, the day she first returned to the Shen family, Su's mother was indeed summoned by her ancestor alone. Her possibility was much greater than that of Xiaodie!

"Yes, I will go back first." Mother Su did not insist at all. She only told Xiaodie to serve Aoxue well, then turned around and got on the carriage.

Aoxue still stood at the door of the inn, watching the carriage Gululu pass by the door of the inn, watching a large group of guards running past her, she turned around and walked into the inn again.

"Waiter, make me something to eat!" Aoxue shouted.

The waiter knew who this customer was the day before. He had collected all the delicious food in the town early this morning, just waiting to present it to the princess. How could he dare to neglect now and hurriedly brought a dozen bowls and plates filled with food?

Come out and put it on the table.

Aoxue looked at the table full of dishes and pastries, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, and pointed to the stool next to her: "Sit down and eat."

At this moment, there were no other servants around. The chief maid, Xiaodie, did not shy away. She sat down directly, picked up her chopsticks and started to eat a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

After chewing a few mouthfuls, Fang remembered the business and hurriedly picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus brew next to him and drank it in one gulp: "Princess, do you really want Aomei's little hooves to go to the capital to seduce the prince?"

Aoxue smiled and chewed the siomai slowly: "If meeting the prince is as simple as the storyteller said, it would be possible in the capital. There are many women in the capital, and even if half of them want to pounce on him, the prince will not be killed.

Are peach blossoms so annoying?!"

Xiaodie breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me tell you, Princess, you care so much about the prince, how could you let that foxy girl hook up with you!" Xiaodie smiled brightly, "By the way, Princess, if you don't go back to Beijing,

Where do you plan to go?”

"Xianjun." Aoxue replied. That place is where the monster commonly known as "Dark Charm" appears most frequently!

"That place is so poor!" Xiaodie said with a bitter look on her face.

"If you feel too poor, you can go back to Beijing!" Aoxue smiled, "The large group of people have just walked away for a while, so it is easy to catch up."

"No! I want to follow the princess!" Xiaodie immediately refused, "This is your first time taking me with you!"

"Since this is a rare benefit, you should behave better in the future!"

"Yes, yes, I promise to obey your orders! The princess tells me to go east, but I will never go west!"

"From now on, if you encounter any robbery or robbery, you will be the one to do it." Aoxue smiled, completely joking.

"You used to dislike me for taking action and saying I was slow!"

"It is precisely because you are slow that you need to strengthen your training and increase your actual combat experience." Aoxue said that the reason was sufficient.

Ever since she decided to investigate Dark Charm the night before, she had already decided that she must take Xiaodie with her along the way. Now, although she knows that Shen Aoxue's martial arts are very powerful, they are all locked in this body, and she has not found the key yet.

ah!

Since Xiaodie knows some martial arts and doesn't look weak, there's no reason not to use one!

The carriage was still the same as when it came. After dinner, Xiaodie only hired the carriage driver again. The master and servant got into the carriage and headed all the way to Xianjun.

*

At this moment, Prince You’s Mansion, Yaoxueyuan.

There are no unnecessary servants, only white flowers bloom quietly.

Li Tianyou was sitting behind the desk in the study. He was dressed in purple brocade clothes and his black hair was tied up with a fine purple jade crown. He was holding a pen in his right hand and was approving a stack of urgent documents.

The windows were wide open, and a tree of white flowers stretched upward. The sunlight slanted in from the outside, which made his facial features look as sharp as a knife.

"Your Majesty." The person who pushed open the door was Li Tianyou's confidant Ji Shuxuan.

"Shu Xuan, what's the matter?" Li Tianyou looked up with a smile, his purple eyes shining coquettishly in the sunlight.

When this man has no expression on his face, he looks majestic and terrifying. However, once he shows a little softness, he exudes a confusing feeling, making it easy for people to accept his orders willingly.

"My lord, the princess has gone to the direction of Xianjun, I think she is going to investigate the dark charm." Ji Shuxuan smiled slightly. He had known Li Tianyou for many years and was already used to his smiling and non-smiling appearance.

That's right, he has never seen any man who can so perfectly combine authority and kindness in one smile. Perhaps, this is the born king.

"It's okay. She has nothing to do anyway. If she doesn't find something to do, I'm afraid she will feel uncomfortable." Li Tianyou didn't take it seriously. He just picked up the pen in his hand, lowered his head and continued to approve the documents in his hand.

"But that's for the crown prince..." Before Ji Shuxuan could say anything, Li Tianyou's slightly magnetic voice came, "It doesn't matter."

Li Tianyou paused for a moment: "She has no memory. Even if she is checking Anmei, she is probably out of curiosity. Send a few people to protect her secretly."

"With such high martial arts skills, does the princess still need protection?" Ji Shuxuan was shocked.

"In all these days, when have you heard that she has even shown a single move?" Li Tianyou's smile became a little softer, "In my opinion, she has probably forgotten even the martial arts."

"Yes." Ji Shuxuan bowed his head, "In addition, the young lady of the Shen family, Shen Aomei, is coming to the capital. Should we let her live in the palace?"

"If the princess brings back the people she doesn't let her live in, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the princess? Besides, aren't there enough people waiting for leisure in the palace?" From the age of 18 to the present, for some reason, he has bought a woman's house every year.

After being brought in, as well as contributions from officials from all over the country, and rewards from the emperor, now, the number of concubines in the family is not more than twenty, but seventeen or eighteen!

Ji Shuxuan smiled. The prince was always different from the princess. He bowed and said, "Yes, I will make arrangements right now." After saying that, he withdrew.

Li Tianyou raised his head, walked to the window, reached out and broke off a branch from the branch outside. The white flower trembled slightly, but was not damaged at all. He returned to the table and inserted the branch into the vase.

Aoxue once liked all the flowers in the courtyard, but it's a pity that she doesn't remember them.

Of course, it would be better not to remember. He spent so much effort just because he wanted her not to remember! Flowers don’t remember, and people don’t remember either!
Chapter completed!
