Before she was fully dressed, Xiao Yuan had already pulled her up and headed straight for the door.
But just after taking two steps, there was a strange sound, and then, several sharp arrows penetrated the door and window and shot quickly.
Fortunately, Xiao Yuan reacted quickly enough and made a decisive decision. He hugged King Xuan and threw him to the ground. The two of them stacked on top of each other and rolled behind a pillar.
Plop, plop!
Arrows stuck diagonally on the floor behind him.
At the same time, the lights in the house seemed to be extinguished by stray arrows.
The place fell into darkness.
Xiao Yuan pressed King Xuan under him.
"Brother Wang..." she shouted softly.
"Shh..." Xiao Yuan put his finger on her lips, then tilted his head and listened carefully to what was going on outside.
After a short while, he turned his head and looked at King Xuan below him.
Although it was night, the two of them were close to each other.
In the dark night, King Xuan's eyes flickered, revealing full of anxiety. In fact, her face was already red and hot.
Xiao Yuan lowered his head slightly and could clearly see her white neck and the vague spring light.
Her body is very soft, and her faint fragrance is refreshing.
His breath was right in front of him, and King Xuan's heart beat too hard.
The posture of the two of them looked more like they were doing something between a man and a woman.
Realizing that she was disheveled and seemed to be about to cry, Xiao Yuan quickly hugged her and turned her over, letting her sit on it, while whispering:
"Sister Wang, hurry up and get dressed."
King Xuan bit his lip and stared at him with his beautiful eyes. In this situation, he could only lie on top of him, quietly put his clothes in order, and quickly tied his ribbon.
After doing this, there was a slight noise at the door, as if someone had entered.
The two squatted behind the pillar. King Xuan could not see any nervousness. Instead, he lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking.
Xiao Yuan was extremely vigilant. He was looking around, holding his breath and concentrating, listening to the footsteps, thinking about countermeasures and how to kill the enemy with one strike.
However, the assassin who came in seemed a bit stupid. He actually lit the lamp when he couldn't find anyone.
In the dark night, the lights suddenly turned on, which, as you can imagine, directly exposed your position.
As soon as the light came out, King Qin's sword shot out quickly, with a muffled groan, hitting his chest and piercing him directly.
"Quickly walk!" Xiao Yuan pulled King Xuan to his feet, walked quickly to the tragically dead assassin, and drew out his sharp sword.
He held the sword in his right hand and held King Xuan in his left hand. He quickly walked out of the room. When he looked outside, there was silence and no one could be seen. Several masked assassins in black clothes and black turbans were lying on the ground in the courtyard. He was killed by Xu Hu and others before.
But as for Xu Hu and the others, even if they were to seduce the tiger away from the mountain, they should have reacted quickly.
Why is there no one here?
Things are a little weird.
This seemed to be a long-planned assassination operation with a large layout.
After Xiao Yuan frowned, he had no time to think too much and could only quickly leave the place where the matter was. The two of them hurried along and soon arrived at the rockery in the manor.
At this moment, the person behind the mountain suddenly raised half of his head and called softly: "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin..."
ah? Out of instinctive reaction, Xiao Yuan's nerves tightened and he almost drew his sword.
"It's me, it's me..." the person said quickly.
"Ah? Uncle Wang..." King Xuan shouted in surprise.
The person coming was none other than the owner of Maple Leaf Villa.
He is actually King Xuan's uncle? Xiao Yuan's heart moved.
"Hurry, come with me." The visitor didn't care much. After saying this, he immediately started groping on the rockery.
Soon, there was a slight clicking sound, the rockery moved, and a passage appeared.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan and King Xuan couldn't help but look at each other, then followed the visitor, bent down and walked in.
This passage has steps and connects to the underground. After the three people entered, the rockery outside immediately returned to its original state. It was obviously the work of a skilled craftsman and the design was very exquisite.
The owner of the villa also lit up the torch inserted into the wall on one side and began to lead the way:
"This secret room has existed for a long time. It was originally used as a place of refuge, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today."
Hearing what he said, King Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Wang, here..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. It's very safe here. You can stay away from the limelight for a while. No one will find you." The owner of the villa turned around and said with a smile.
He is about forty or fifty years old. Judging from his face, he should have been very handsome when he was young, with a well-groomed beard and a sense of nobility.
This person is the uncle of King Xuan and a member of the Lu family.
When facing King Xuan, the smile on his face was even more amiable, with the kindness of an elder towards a younger generation.
But in the flickering firelight, Xiao Yuan always felt that his smile was a little strange...
With that said, the three of them walked to a stone door. The owner of the villa opened it and immediately put out the torch.
This is a stone chamber with a priceless night pearl at the top, which illuminates the inside as bright as day.
The layout of the stone room is very good. It not only has round tables and stools, but also bookshelves and the like. It is more like a room.
After entering, the stone door was closed. The owner of the villa extended his hand to invite Xiao Yuan and King Xuan to sit down at the round table. At the same time, he picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and said naturally:
"Oh, I don't know where these assassins came from. Most of the servants in my village have been killed. Fortunately, there is this secret room. The king and His Highness King Qin can settle here first and wait for me. Find a way to get help.”
As he spoke, he had already poured two cups of tea.
King Xuan picked up the teacup and asked subconsciously: "Uncle Wang, where are Hongling and the others?"
"I don't know either. After General Xie and the others chased the assassin, they disappeared and I don't know what happened." The owner of the villa shook his head.
But after hearing this, Xiao Yuan's heart moved, and then he looked at the owner of the villa calmly.
"Uncle Wang, please sit down too." King Xuan smiled gently.
"Okay, okay." The latter still looked amiable. Looking at King Xuan, he was no different from an uncle looking at his niece.
The three of them sat down in front of the round table. Maybe they were really thirsty. King Xuan also picked up the tea cup and put it to his mouth.
Xiao Yuan looked like this and took a sip. He couldn't help but praise: "Well, not bad, it's good tea."
"Haha." The owner of the villa first looked at the two of them and saw that both of them had drank tea. He smiled and said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is a joke. The tea is the tea in the villa. Although it is of the highest quality, it's just..."
"How?" Xiao Yuan asked.
