”Mission accomplished, my lord.” A black shadow quietly landed in the shadows.

Ye Mingchen nodded and asked, ”Where is Chen Mingxi?” What are her plans? ”

After Princess Qin Xuan had been set up by Chen Mingxi, Chen Mingxi had lured Ye Feihan into not paying attention to Imperial Consort Jin. He had secretly informed Ye Mingchen to assassinate Imperial Concubine Jin, as well as informed Princess Qin Xuan to go watch the commotion and to blame the matter on Princess Qin Xuan.

Presumably, Shen Qiu Bai, who had been ruthlessly bullied by Princess Qin Xuan at the lake shore, would very quickly come out and accuse Princess Qin Xuan of wanting to kill her.

It was an interesting thing.

Ye Mingchen leaned against the palace wall and played with the jade flute in his hands. If one were to mention finding Chen Mingxi's poisoned dagger, it was truly a coincidence.

Princess Qin Xuan had tortured and killed many palace maids before. One of them was Chen Mingxi's sister, but the princess' privilege was shown by Ye Feihan so that he wouldn't openly offend her over a few palace maids. Thus, he picked it up high and lightly let it go.

Ye Mingchen put on a pure black mask and said, ”Pass down my order, Qiu Xi will be the one in charge of this assassination. ”Princess Hua-Yang's mother was born, she should have met my good son.”

”Autumn Festival?” ”My Lord has only been awake for a year, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take on this task!” The black-clothed man raised his doubts. Qiu Xi had yet to accept an assassin mission, so it could be said that she was not qualified to carry out her mission alone. If he fails to reveal his identity... It would definitely lead to a frenzied encirclement and annihilation by Ye Lianhe! Right now, the Hidden Gate had not expanded any further. It was likely that they would not be able to withstand the attack from Ye Lianhe.

”It's about time to unsheath Qiu Xi's blade.” Ye Ming Chen shook his head and ignored his subordinate's doubts. Since he had chosen to be a blade, he shouldn't hesitate for the people who were about to die under his hands. Furthermore, he could not question his lord's orders or insist on his own opinions.

”Yes.” His subordinates had nothing to say, the hidden guards of the hidden door were all trained human weapons, his sudden questioning just now had already drawn the attention of their lord, so he was the next one to be killed.

The full moon of the summer solstice had just disappeared, and the pale light of the half moon illuminated the earth. The sound of leaves striking against trees could be heard from the lush forest. As the hooves of the horses trampled over the leaves, a flash of saber light followed by a splash of bright red blood on the tree trunk. Qiu Xi gripped her sword tightly and looked coldly at the man in black clothes who followed closely behind. There were two firm cuts on her chest, but there was no blood inside, and her skin and flesh were turned over to reveal the texture of her muscles.

A black cloud floated in front of the half-moon. It was clearly the dark and gloomy deep forest in the middle of summer, which made people shiver.

Although she was heavily injured and near exhaustion, she still maintained an extraordinary level of calmness.

”Where is Nightingale?”

Qiu Xi narrowed her eyes and sized up the person leading the attack on her. The one leading the attack should be a young man. Although he was masked, he still revealed the fact that he was a young man. Qiu Xi looked at the sword in his hand and confirmed that it was the direct disciple of Bright Moon Tower, Jiang Yunsheng.

Jiang Yunsheng. The autumn leaves stuck to the leaves on her shoulders as she ran away, taking up a defensive stance.

Qiu Xi leaped onto a branch and looked down at the trembling crowd. ”Come on, now that the dark clouds cover the moon, I want to test the brilliance of the Bright Moon Restaurant's disciple's sword art.”

Jiang Yunsheng had an unfriendly expression on his face. He did not know the background of the other party. However, he had beheaded several of his Mingyue Gelou's experts with a single strike. Now, they were even openly provoking the prestige of Bright Moon Tower. This was truly intolerable!

Jiang Yunsheng laughed coldly, ”Your excellency, you never mentioned your origins or where you went, you just barged into my Bright Moon Tower.” ”It's not appropriate for me to do this, is it?”
