919 Curtains Up 3 (1/2)

The Imperial Garden in the day was different from it was at night. It was still winter, but it was filled with plum blossoms.

Qu Ling Yue stared at the Imperial Garden before her eyes and without anyone noticing, the corners of her mouth curled up into a chilling smile.

That smile had faded quickly and no one had even seen it.

Just as Lei Fan was about to say something more to Qu Ling Yue, a black shadow suddenly leapt to stand in front of the two of them!

The man was dressed in all black, and a black cloth covered more than half of his face.

He had appeared very suddenly and it caused the eunuchs to scream out in terror!

Lei Fan stared in astonishment at the black robed man who had suddenly appeared. His heart jumped in shock and he immediately shouted: ”Audacious infidel! How dare you break into the Imperial Palace! Guards! Take down the assassin!”

With Lei Fan's shout, all the guards just outside the Imperial Garden immediately rushed in, several tens of them holding long swords in their hands as they surrounded the black robed man completely!

However, at the moment very that all the guards were about to rush at him together to take the assassin!

The man suddenly made his move!

His movements were quick as lightning, and before everyone's eyes, he suddenly charged at the highly arrogant Lei Fan!

Lei Fan had thought that with the large number of guards protecting them, he had been all prepared to show off in front of Qu Ling Yue. Who knew that the black robed man would be able to move so fast that nobody could even get themselves prepared! By the time he realised what was happening, he found that he had been held hostage by the black robed man, a sharp sword suddenly held against his neck.

”If you dare try anything dumb, I will have your little life.” The black robed man issued him a chilling warning.

Lei Fan turned pale in an instant from fear, the earlier arrogance he exhibited just a moment ago evaporating into nothing immediately!
