Seeing her begging, I felt very sad. After being silent for a long time, I still hardened my heart and said: "Miss Ruyue, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that I really can't help you, and there's nothing I can do."

."

Ruyue's pretty little face was full of tears, looking at me, but I didn't dare to look into her eyes anymore, so I could only helplessly turn my head to avoid her eyes. Finally, she knew that it was useless to beg.

I could only get up, cover my face and cry and leave.

After she left for a while, and the night outside gradually deepened, I sighed, stood up and walked out.

The steps are a little heavy.

Although I stubbornly refused Ru Yue's request, I still couldn't remain indifferent. After all, it was a human life, but now that Pei Yuanhao hates me - I also knew that this was unlikely, so I agreed.

If she can't do it, it will only make Ruyue more desperate. It's better to reject her first and try her luck. If she can't get it, it won't make her more disappointed. If she can really get it, it will be her good fortune.

It’s my merit.

Thinking like this, after a while, I walked to the inner courtyard.

At this time, the night was already very deep, the sky was as dark as ink, and the area around the inner courtyard was quiet. There were only a few lanterns hanging under the eaves, swaying in the wind. The lonely lights swayed, lengthening the shadows on the ground and turning them into shapes.

Short, making this place even quieter.

However, this kind of silence is a little different.

In the inner courtyard, there are usually not many people guarding the door, because the shadow guards brought by Pei Yuanhao are enough, but there are still people at the basic sentries. But today, I have walked to the door, but there is not even a guard.

Didn't see it.

What's going on?

When I thought about the strange atmosphere in the state capital recently, I couldn't help but become a little nervous. I looked around and saw no guards, not even people patrolling the periphery of the state capital!

Could it be that something happened?!

My steps stagnated, and I subconsciously wanted to go in to see what was going on. But when I was about to walk in, a sudden flash occurred in my heart. Instead of rushing in immediately, I walked along the outer wall of the inner courtyard. I just reached a clump of trees.

In front of the shrubs behind the rockery, I saw an amazing scene.

In the bushes, several people were lying in various places, their clothes had been stripped off.

On the side, there are several people wearing clothes through the shadow cast by the rockery. They are the clothes of the patrol guards!

Assassin!

These two words immediately appeared in my mind, and I took a breath of air and hurriedly turned around to run.

But just as I turned around, I suddenly bumped into someone!

He immediately covered my mouth with one hand and pushed me against the wall. I let out a whimper and struggled desperately. Then I saw a flash of cold light and a big knife was clamped on my neck.

, I opened my eyes wide in horror and looked at the person in front of me. His cold eyes glanced around and he said coldly: "It's you again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several people nearby had already rushed over: "What's going on?"

"It's this woman again, she was the one who ruined our business last time."

Did you ruin their business last time?

When I heard this, I immediately understood - they were the assassins on the night of the fireworks display, and now they are going to come back, disguised as guards in the state capital, and assassinate again!

"What should I do?"
