Chapter 56: The Spy (1)
The figure exiting the door was immediately pulled over by someone with great force and then enveloped in their arms.
Turning back, it was Mu Beichen's pair of worried eyes.
Before she could get emotional, Xia Tong had already been dragged to the back by him and stood together with Cheng, the guards behind them had surged forward, surrounding that side of the Liuli small courtyard.
In the bright light, people rushed into the house shouting! In an instant, they were all thrown out again, but they were all seriously injured!
No one dared to enter again, everyone held their weapons and guarded the door, staring at the open gate as if a demon was about to come out, waiting in array!
Inside the house was quiet and peaceful, without even a sound of fighting.
"Qingli is still inside!" Xiaotong panicked, there was no sound now, that girl wouldn't be dead, would she?! Although they had been on guard against each other all the time, after a period of time, to say that he didn't have any feelings for her would be a lie!
"If anyone captures the assassin tonight, dead or alive, I will reward them with a thousand taels of gold!" Mu Beichen coldly swept his gaze over the guards in the courtyard and led the way in, sword in hand.
He was furious that someone dared to appear in Luliu Pavilion three times! This made him extremely uneasy and also stirred up his anger.
"Ah!" Xia Tong cried out, and the disappearing sounds of fighting inside made her feel frightened.
"Brother Huang will be fine!" said Cheng beside her, holding her hand and speaking with great certainty.
"Really?" His heart slightly calmed down, but Xia Tong still asked sideways, and in the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Liu Ying also coming with the help of Ya Tou, with a sickly complexion, hiding far behind the crowd!
A very affirmative answer came from afar, Mu Bei Chen had already come out, followed by several guards. They didn't catch Gui Nu, but one of the guards was holding Qing Li, her head thrown back, one arm hanging down naturally.
"Qing Li." In an instant, Xia Tong called out, her heart suddenly being grasped and twisted, with a surge of wetness bursting forth from the corners of her eyes: Qing Li was dead, she had died, because of herself!
"Tong'er, she's just been knocked unconscious!" Mu Bei Chen stepped forward and pulled Xia Qing into his arms, explaining softly.
"Ah! She just fainted, that's all?" Xiaotong was stunned, her embarrassed face immediately burning with heat: How could she not have figured it out and cried blindly?! With so many people around, how embarrassing!
"Hehe!" Mu Beichen's indulgent smile, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes.
This... Xiaotong turned around, and the place where Liu Ying was standing just now had already lost her trace. She didn't know when she had left!
"Your Highness, the guard found this inside the Luliu Pavilion!" A guard who had been searching inside the pavilion came out, glanced at Xia Tong, and handed a large stack of what appeared to be letters to Mu Beichen.
He took it over, just one glance, Mu Bei Chen's face turned solemn, after flipping through a few pages, his face was already comparable to the bottom of a pot!
"What's wrong?" Xia Tong asked in confusion.
Without a word, Mu Bei Chen handed the letter to the guard beside him, then grasped her shoulders, his dark eyes gazing intensely at her as if trying to see through to her very soul.
"Tong'er, have you ever really loved me?" He asked in an unexpectedly calm tone.
Why are you suddenly asking this? With so many people around, at this time? At this moment? Is it not a bit inappropriate to ask this in such a setting?
"Hmm!" Without having time to think about him, Xia Tong nodded heavily and quickly lowered her head, her face faintly flushed. No need to guess, Xia Tong also knew that she must have turned red again!
"So you tell me, have you ever cheated on me?"
Raising his head in surprise, when did he also start acting like a child, persisting in such childish questions.
