Chapter 10 There was an icy hand in the water

  Soon, several men in black came from all sides, killing intent filled the air, and blood color was everywhere.

  All of these assassins did not even make it up to the third floor before they all fell at the hands of Li Huan's guards.

  Listening to the sounds of slaughter outside, Qinglian's face turned pale. Long Xilan didn't know how many people Li Huan had arranged for tonight, nor did she know how many more were coming. What she couldn't have imagined was that one Ji Jinhuang's life would cause such panic and urgency to eliminate him.

  Just because she is the last bloodline of the Long family, she can't die here because of this matter!

  The fierce fighting outside finally subsided, Yan Ting's body was stained with blood, and he strode in with a majestic and powerful stride.

  "Your Highness, a total of 23 assassins were killed and 2 were captured alive!"

  Li Hua stood up and was about to go out to take a look.

  As he walked to the door, he turned his head and looked at Long Xilan with a worried expression, then ordered Liu Jing: "Liu Jing, you stay here and protect Miss Ji."

  "Yes, Your Highness!" Liu Jin led the way. He was a eunuch who had been castrated since childhood and followed Li Hua's side. His martial arts skills were not as good as those of the Yan brothers, but they were still passable.

  They left, Liu Jin and Qinglian stood guard beside them. Long Xilan knew that time was limited, and this moment was also the best opportunity to escape. Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, he knocked both of them unconscious with two knife hands, nimbly flipped out of the window, and slowly slid down along the wall.

  "Master, something has happened to Miss Ji!" Long Xilan was leaning against the wall when he heard a guard's voice coming from the pavilion above.

  She knew her escape route would soon be discovered, so she didn't dare to hesitate and slowly slipped into the moat beside the Guanlong Pavilion.

  Li Hua had already led the people back into the room, and saw Liu Jin and Qinglian lying on the ground. He furrowed his brow, looked around, and quickly walked to the window to look down.

  "Light the lanterns!"

  The moat is stagnant water, as long as there are living things in it, they can be seen at a glance.

  Long Xilan also knew this, so after she sank into the water, she held her breath and stayed at the bottom of the river, waiting. The moat's icy waters on a winter day were bone-chillingly cold, but fortunately, she was not like ordinary women, having received strict training since childhood, and her swimming skills were also excellent.

  "Except for the blood of the assassin from just now, no other bloodstains were found in the room. Therefore, it must have been the assassin who took advantage of the prince's exit and climbed in through the window to abduct Miss Ji!" Another attendant of Li Hua, Yan Ming, analyzed seriously.

  Li Hua's gaze remained fixed on the moat below, and after a while, he confirmed that it was absolutely impossible for anyone to hold their breath for so long at the bottom of the river, before withdrawing his line of sight.

  With a hint of annoyance in her eyes, she glanced at Yan Ming and said: "Stupid!"

  "Your Highness?" Yan Ming, not usually known for his stability and composure, was taken aback. He thought he had used his brain countless times before, but being scolded by his master left him perplexed! Tong Ling Shi Xie Lan: Wonderful

  "If it were an assassin, why would they spare the lives of Liu Jin and his accomplice? And in such a short time, they managed to kidnap a big living person and escape from the window?"

  Being scolded and explained by his master like this, Yan Ming felt reasonable and nodded flatteringly: "Wang Ye is wise!"

  The future queen consort has mysteriously disappeared, and this guy is still shouting that the prince is wise? Yan Ting quietly wiped a cold sweat for him from behind.

  Li Hua took a deep breath and swallowed his anger. If he weren't someone who didn't easily take action, at this moment he really wanted to give Yan Ming two slaps in the face as a warning!

  At this time, Long Yilan who was submerged in water estimated that the time was about up and could float to the surface to breathe!

  But when she tried to float up, there was a hand colder than the moat water in December that tightly grasped her ankle!

  She was shocked and tried to kick with force, but found it had no effect, and her body was still being dragged down to the river bottom by that evil power...
