Although he never pressed him step by step, Zhong Li felt like a frog being boiled in warm water. She was somewhat helpless and wondered why he was so patient. In the past few days, she even received a lot of invitation letters, which was never before. happened before.

These changes undoubtedly put pressure on Zhong Li. She couldn't fall asleep with her thoughts in her heart. When Pei Xing came over, she happened to be lying face out, staring at the candle in a daze.

When a shadow was printed on the screen, Zhong Li naturally noticed it. Her first reaction was Qiuyue, but Qiuyue was not tall, but the shadow on the screen was very large. Zhong Li's heart lifted instantly. The next moment, The shadow disappeared.

For a moment, Zhong Li even thought that she had an illusion, and she raised her heart tightly, "Qiuyue?"

Qiuyue did not respond.

Zhong Li's heart was beating like a drum, and her palms were sweating. She quickly put on her clothes and took out the dagger and the cartilage powder hidden under the pillow. She grasped the dagger and the cartilage powder in the other hand, and went down courageously. bed.

Zhong Li's eyes fell on the footprints outside the screen. It was raining outside, perhaps a little damp, and the footprints inside were also stained with some water vapor and soil. Someone did come in just now.

Zhong Li's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She quickly walked out of the inner room. In the outer room, Qiuyue was lying unconscious on the couch. Zhong Li's breathing was disordered. The man was stunned, and he was still put in a sleeping hole.

Zhong Li pursed her lips, and her small face as delicate as Fuchu revealed a sternness that she did not usually have. She stood at the door and glanced out, but there was no one in the courtyard.

There were guards at the entrance of the courtyard, and the guards still dutifully guarded the entrance of the courtyard. Looking at their expressions, they never noticed that a foreigner had sneaked into the room.

Since the other party can stun Qiuyue quietly, it is easy to stun her. He has already walked in, but left suddenly, why?

Did she find her awake? Because she woke up, but turned around and left... A figure appeared in Zhong Li's heart almost immediately.

She bit her lip involuntarily.

After Pei Xing climbed over the wall and left, a trace of annoyance flashed on his face. He walked in a hurry, and he didn't have time for Luo Yu to wipe off the footprints on the ground, but whenever she saw his figure, it was just like Yu Ming swayed and told her that he was coming. Pass.

Pei Xing just hoped that she didn't see it, he didn't walk far, and after hearing the girl's footsteps, he couldn't help but touch the tip of his nose.

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Xing went to her residence as usual. As expected, the girl's expression was colder than ever.

Pei Xing could only try to act as if nothing had happened, Zhong Li didn't catch a current person, and it was not good to "unjustly" him. He just had a cold face and ignored others.

She stepped up her defenses at night. Thirty or so guards were divided into two groups, one guarded in the middle of the night, and the other guarded in the middle of the night. All of them were transferred to the vicinity of the small courtyard. There were no longer only Qiuyue or Xia He in the courtyard, but five more maids.

In the dead of night, when Pei Xing came over, he saw five energetic maids guarding the door. If he wanted to go in, he could only put down all the maids. Even if it was clear, she would respond. When he saw so many maids, Pei Xing still couldn't help touching the tip of his nose.

He didn't go in again, and turned back to the palace.

Zhong Li waited for a long time, until midnight, there was still no movement outside, Zhong Li couldn't hold it any longer, and went to rest.

The capital had been cloudy for a few days, and at the first day of the eighth lunar month, it turned sunny again. Although it was sunny, the weather was not as sunny as the days before.

Luo Ji was afraid of being recognized, so she wore a heavy veil. It was not until she left the capital and came to Huguo Temple that she took off the veil and replaced it with a veil.

She made an appointment with Xiao Sheng to meet in the back mountain, Luo Ji waited for nearly a quarter of an hour, just when she thought that Xiao Sheng would not come again, she heard footsteps.

Luo Ji turned around and took a look. The visitor was dressed in a snow-white brocade robe. It was Xiao Sheng. He had long since lost his former glory, and the changes were quite large. At this moment, his face was thin, his eyebrows were gloomy, and there was a look of depression on his face. Unwilling.

Xiao Sheng was also examining her.

The former Luo Ji was very flamboyant. She was proud of being able to stay in the capital, and she had also been in and out of Youfeng Hall. Naturally, Xiao Sheng had also seen her. He said solemnly, "Tell me, what skills do you have to help me?"

The two of them were concentrating on talking, but they didn't realize that there were two young people in the dark, who saw their connection, Luo Ji Qinggong got it, the two of them were afraid of being discovered, so they didn't dare to get too close, only vaguely heard, "Zhong Li, the anniversary of death. "These two words.

After Xiao Sheng and Luo Ji separated, the two followed them from a distance, and finally one of them turned around and entered the palace. They were all from Pei Xing.

Although Pei Xing seems to be unscrupulous, he is actually very cautious. He has offended many people over the years, and he can live unharmed until now, which is enough to prove the depth of his city. The two secret guards stared at Xiao Sheng, keeping control of his movements at any time.

When Zhu Qing next to Luo Ji was in contact with Xiao Sheng, Pei Xing already knew about it.

When the dark guard returned, Pei Xing put down the memorial in his hand, his eyes narrowed dangerously, his eyes were cold and sharp, "Have they met?"

"Yes, I met at Huguo Temple today, and my subordinates were far away, and I only heard vaguely that they were going to attack Miss Zhong on the anniversary of her death. The subordinates did not hear the exact date of her death. The subordinates will find out as soon as possible, please. Master, give your subordinates some time."

Pei Xing has already guessed that there are only two death dates related to Zhong Li, one is the death day of Zhong's mother, and the other is Zhong's father's death. , it is less than a month, they will definitely choose Father Zhong's death day.

Pei Xing's eyes drooped, his side face was hidden in a halo, and his three-dimensional facial features were unusually cold, "No need to check."

The dark guard respectfully responded, and he rubbed his neck with a gesture, "Do you want to get rid of these two now?"

There was a dim light in Pei Xing's eyes, "No need, just let someone stare at him. Don't act rashly without my order."

The dark guard was a little surprised. When he learned that Luo Ji had escaped, he thought she was dead. Who would have guessed that the master didn't mean to kill her.
