Just when I was hesitant, Qinghan suddenly extinguished the lantern in his hand.
I looked at him in surprise: "You—"
Before he could speak, he hurriedly reached out and pressed me down on my shoulder, whispering: "Don't talk, look ahead!"
I was stunned for a moment and looked forward in the direction he looked at.
In front is the third mountain gate of Xishan Academy. This gate is the place where everyone in the academy has the least access to, but it is particularly tall, standing in the rain and fog in front of it, and in a trance, there is a feeling of the sky gate.
And behind the mountain gate is a long row of walls.
There is a gate directly in front of me, but it is also closed at this time.
I have never been here before. It is the first time Qinghan has been here. Like me, he has had many guesses about what this is like, but reality and guesses must be a distance, so when the two of them saw this scene, they subconsciously held their breath.
But the next moment, I knew why he had to blow out the lantern.
Because in the dark night, I saw a few black shadows running over from both sides. They were a few people in black clothes, almost integrated with the night. If Qinghan hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have seen them at all.
These people are—
assassin?!
These two words suddenly popped up in my mind, and my breathing tightened. Qinghan pressed one hand on my back and lowered his voice and said, "Don't alarm them."
My voice was hoarse: "Are they, assassins?"
"Maybe."
"Then what are they going to do?"
As soon as this question was asked, a light of inspiration flashed through my mind. Before, an assassin assassin assassinated Yang Jinqiao and his team, but he failed. The purpose of those people was very obvious, just to break the possibility of peace talks between the court and Xichuan. Now they are here, if the purpose has not changed-
Prince!
Pei Nianshen is still in the academy!
I subconsciously wanted to move, but before I could get up, Qinghan pressed me down with force, and I turned to look at him: "What are you doing?"
“…”
"If they were going to assassinate the prince, we must stop them!"
Qinghan lowered his voice: "Stop them? We both, how can we stop them?"
I was stunned and then came to my senses.
Although we were not as powerful as a chicken, it was almost the same, not to mention that Qinghan himself was also poisonous. If the assassins were really shocked and they turned around to deal with us, then - we were here, it was really called Tiantian and the Earth was not effective.
I said anxiously, "What should I do? You can't watch them in, right? The safety of the prince is also important!"
"..." Qinghan frowned and looked ahead, and whispered: "Even if those people are really assassins, the prince may not be in danger."
“…?”
"You forgot that this place belongs to Nan Zhenyi."
Nan Zhenyi?
This name flashed through my mind, but before I could think about it, I saw the figures gathered together in the corners of the wall in the darkness, as if they were discussing something, but the sound of rain was drizzling, and their voices were very low and they could not hear them at all.
But after a while, the shadows had already agreed. Someone rushed up to the wall and looked inside. Without any movement, he waved to the shadows below. Then, several other people followed him up to the wall.
This time, I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out of my throat.
Really let them in, that-
Jin Zai Qinghan also frowned, and could hardly hold back his eyes to get up and rush over. Suddenly, a sound of piano sounded in this quiet night.
That sound was misty and distant, as if it was coming from an unexpected place that cost tens of millions of miles, or from the sky above my head that was so dark that there was no starlight. It came with the wind and turned into drizzle in an instant, and melted into a person in an instant.
In an instant, the wind around suddenly stopped, and the rain condensed in the air. Everything stopped, only the invisible sound of the piano turned into waves, rushing towards us.
My breathing stopped.
The men in black who were squatting on the wall seemed to be under some inexplicable pressure at this time and could not even move. They only heard the sound of the piano constantly coming, as if an invisible tide drowning everyone and trapped inside.
It was a "Guo Hee Forgets the Machine", with a timeless and peaceful style. I can and I have heard countless people play it, but no one has ever had such delicate fingering that makes this song so beautiful. Every note seems to have turned into wind, blended into rain, and soaked into everyone's heart.
What I feel is a kind of gentleness of great freedom.
However, I also felt that those people on the wall must not feel the same as me.
Because I clearly saw that their bodies were so stiff that they could not move, as if something was fixed on them. Several people looked at each other, but they didn't even have room to speak, as if every breath and every heartbeat of their heart were controlled by the music that kept coming!
Qinghan and I looked at each other, and both of us were shocked and understood.
It's Nan Zhenyi!
Chabixing had said before that Nan Zhenyi's room had many guqins. Because rosin was often used to maintain strings, his room was full of rosin. Even people would get caught in that smell. Since he was so easy to collect guqins, how could he not play it?
Perhaps, only people like him can play such a song.
What a breathtaking song of gulls and egrets!
The next moment, there was a few thrusts, and the men in black seemed to be unable to hold on, and fell from the wall, one by one, and they all screamed.
In such a quiet place and such a quiet night, these screams suddenly sounded, like a stone plunged into the quiet lake, which alarmed the people below. I immediately heard the sounds of some people coming from afar, and they were running towards here quickly.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"It seems to be on the mountain!"
As soon as the men in black fell, they seemed to have lost their bodies to their bodies. They immediately came to their senses and someone shouted, "Run!"
After saying that, he ran towards us.
This time, Qinghan didn't even hide, and immediately stood up: "Stop!"
Chapter completed!
