Chapter 220 Sneak Attack
Ye Jintang kept looking out the window, and for a moment he didn't know where to look when he turned his gaze back.
Although she is slow when it comes to love, she is not a naive person who knows nothing.
Xiao Mo had teased her like this more than once or twice, and she knew exactly what he was thinking.
But she just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.
She really couldn't bring herself to think of an old cow eating young grass, especially a handsome man with broad shoulders, narrow waist, abdominal muscles, and a body full of male hormones.
It’s really going to kill me.
She is also a normal woman, she also likes handsome men. If Xiao Mo continues like this, she won't be able to bear it even if she holds a ten-centimeter-thick pot lid.
Xiao Mo, who was standing by, had no idea that there were so many things going on in her mind. He only saw that she was so shy that she didn't even dare to look at him.
Xiao Mo, secretly delighted, stood up and blew out the candles in the room.
The room suddenly sank into darkness. Ye Jintang, who had been tense just now, finally relaxed. With the darkness covering her, she felt less embarrassed.
When the maids and servants in the outer room saw Ye Jintang turn off the lights, they thought she had gone to bed, so they turned off their lights as well.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Ye Jintang couldn't help yawning.
For the first time, she felt a little disgusted with the sensitivity of her five senses. They were very close to each other, and she could clearly feel Xiao Mo's presence.
His slightly heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat told her that he was responding to her.
For some unknown reason, Ye Jintang's heartbeat also quickened.
As expected, Xiao Mo only has that face to look at, and his heart is very dark, thinking about all kinds of nonsense all day long.
She bought the title of princess with 500,000 taels of silver. He took the silver and not only did he let her go.
Just wait and see. Once she has mastered the medical skills and learned some kung fu, if he dares to be so dishonest again, she will definitely teach him a lesson.
Ye Jintang had all sorts of wild thoughts in her mind. Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, she felt the air in the room was a little stuffy and a little hot.
Her palms were sweating profusely and she secretly despised herself. She had seen a lot of storms at her age, so why couldn't she remain calm when facing Xiao Mo?
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Heng came over again.
Seeing that the lights in the room were off, he did not go in, but stood outside the window and talked to Xiao Mo.
"Your Majesty, the assassins are here. They are now in an abandoned yard two streets away from us. They probably plan to come back in the second half of the night."
"Well, tell Shi Bin to be alert, so that we can kill the assassins as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Jiang Heng's arrival alleviated much of the awkwardness between Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo.
However, Ye Jintang still didn't speak. She closed her eyes, tried her best to ignore Xiao Mo's existence, and began to think about the lessons that Master Mu taught her.
I don’t know how long it was, but when Ye Jintang almost fell asleep, there was finally a noise in the yard.
Under the moonlight, more than a dozen black shadows quickly appeared in the yard. The assassins were very cautious. They hid in the dark and did not rush into the house in a hurry. They waited until the patrols had passed twice before they suddenly rushed over.
Ye Jintang in the room was startled. Didn't Xiao Mo say that he had arranged the staff long ago? Where were the people?
The assassin was about to rush into the house, but she didn't see any of her own people.
Ye Jintang nervously reached out and grabbed Xiao Mo's arm. Just as she was about to ask something, a kiss suddenly fell heavily on her lips.
At this critical moment, Xiao Mo suddenly attacked her. Ye Jintang felt as if her brain had instantly crashed and she lost all ability to think.
"you you."
Ye Jintang wanted to push Xiao Mo away, but he didn't give her any chance.
There came the sounds of swords clashing, the screams of Luzhu's maids, and even the explosions of thunder bombs.
She was extremely curious, but she was stuck to Xiao Mo and couldn't see anything.
Ye Jintang, whose mind was a mess, pushed Xiao Mo away and breathed deeply.
"Jintang, next time I kiss you, remember to breathe."
If Xiao Mo hadn't felt that Ye Jintang almost suffocated herself to death, he wouldn't have let her go so easily.
"You, you bastard, it's already this time and you still dare to mess around."
Ye Jintang was very nervous and turned his head to look out the window. He didn't know when the battle outside the window had ended. Countless torches and lanterns lit up the yard.
A strong smell of blood mixed with gunpowder blew into the room along with the hot wind.
"I'll go out and see."
"I'll go with you. It's just a few dead bodies. I'm not afraid."
"Ok."
Lu Zhu, who had been waiting outside, heard Ye Jintang's voice in the inner room and immediately lit the candles in the room.
When she opened the door and went out, Nanny Liu, Nanny Zhang, Liuli, Gu Wan'er and Master Mu all came over, and even the injured Zhou Wuwei ran over with a sword in his hand.
The noise of the fight in Ye Jintang's yard just now was so loud that they could hear it even though they lived far away.
When Ye Jintang was assassinated, they did not hesitate at all and all came to protect her at the first opportunity.
"Don't worry, everyone. None of the 14 assassins who came tonight were left alive."
Shi Bin stood at the front of the crowd, holding a sword stained with blood.
"it is good."
Xiao Mo walked forward and took a look at the bloody assassins lying on the ground. He reached out and pulled down the mask of one of them, only to see that the assassin had deep facial features and did not look like a Central Plains person.
The other guards followed Xiao Mo's example and tore off the masks of the other assassins.
None of the 14 assassins were from Central Plains.
Xiao Mo turned around and looked at Ye Jintang, "As we expected, all the assassins who came are foreigners."
He picked up the scimitar on the ground and continued, "It looks like a Northern Di person. Only Northern Di people like to use scimitars."
"Shi Bin, go and search these people to see if they have any other items."
"Yes."
Ye Jintang, who was standing under the porch, watched Xiao Mo acting seriously and couldn't help laughing in his heart.
It's a shame he doesn't go make movies.
As expected, Shi Bin quickly found a small note from an assassin. The note was stained with blood, and the handwriting was not very clear in some places, but there were still two words that could be seen.
"Your Highness only has this piece of paper, and no other items. I see that the paper used for the note should be the best pear paper in the palace."
"Shangli paper is a tribute. No one in the entire capital would dare to use it."
"Okay, very good. General Shi, please look around the palace to see if there are any more assassins."
"If you find any assassins, don't leave them alive."
"Yes."
"Everyone, please go away. Don't spread what happened tonight. If I find out, I will pull out your tongue if anyone talks nonsense."
Xiao Mo's sharp eyes swept over the crowd of onlookers.
The frightened maids and servants quickly dispersed back to their own rooms at Xiao Mo's command.
At the same time, Shi Bin took the list and began to remove the troublemakers in the palace.
