The queen is so good at teasing that she makes the abstinent prince tremble

As soon as Jiang Tangxi finished speaking, the noise outside seemed to stop.

"Did you hear that?" Jiang Tangxi asked.

Xiao Cui shook her head: "What did the master hear?"

Xiao Cui also became nervous immediately and she hurried to the door.

The two of them instantly fell silent and listened to the sounds outside.

But no one answered the door immediately. Instead, there was silence, with only the occasional sound of the night wind in the distance.

"Master, maybe the wind was too strong and blew the door bolt. Master, don't think too much. I will go and fill you with a hot water bottle. Master, please have a comfortable sleep!"

Having said that, the maid was about to push the door and go out.

Just as the maid Xiao Cui's hand was about to touch the door, Jiang Tangxi's heart suddenly tightened, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

She reached out to stop Xiao Cui, her voice low and firm: "Wait, don't open the door."

Xiao Cui turned her head in confusion, looked at Jiang Tangxi's tense face, and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Jiang Tangxi did not answer immediately, but pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement outside the door again.

This time, she seemed to catch a faint, unusual breath, a breath different from the night wind, with a hint of coldness and danger.

"Something's wrong, there's someone outside."

She whispered to Xiao Cui, her voice was soft but filled with unquestionable firmness.

She must have heard it right.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui’s face turned even paler and she could barely stand.

Seeing this, Jiang Tangxi gently patted the back of Xiao Cui's hand to comfort her, and then quietly walked to the window.

She gently lifted a corner of the curtain and peered through the night, trying to see what was happening outside.

However, the night was too dark and everything in sight was blurry.

Just when she was about to give up, a dark shadow flashed by in the shadows of the trees not far away like a ghost.

The speed is so fast that it is astonishing.

Jiang Tangxi's heart suddenly shuddered. She was sure that she was not mistaken. It was a human figure! !

"Xiao Cui, go call Yuzhu over. Remember, act quietly and don't alarm anyone."

Jiang Tangxi made a quick decision and turned around to take the sword from the wall.

If those people were here to find me!

It would be dangerous for Xiao Cui to stay here! I think those people would not attack Xiao Cui!

The sword gleamed coldly in the dim light, reflecting her resolute and calm face.

Xiao Cui nodded. Although she was afraid, she still suppressed her uneasiness and prepared to push the door open and leave.

However, just as her fingers were about to touch the door, a slight noise suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, a black shadow flashed by quickly. Before Xiao Cui could even scream, she was hit by a powerful force and fell limply to the ground.

Jiang Tangxi was shocked. She turned around and rushed to the door, only to see that there was no one outside and only the night wind blowing through the eaves.

She squatted down, gently checked Xiao Cui's breath, and confirmed that she had just fainted, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, a more rapid and heavy sound of footsteps came from the other end of the corridor.

Jiang Tangxi immediately stood up, gripped his sword tightly, and looked ahead vigilantly.

In an instant, a black wind flashed, and several men in black rushed into the corridor like ghosts. They wore cold masks on their faces, revealing only two cold eyes.

long time no see!

Black puppet!!

The black-clad puppets that were slowly approaching, with the black smoke swirling around them, looked even more eerie under the dim moonlight.

Every step was accompanied by a slight vibration of the ground, as if it was a messenger from hell, bringing with it the breath of death.

But compared to last time, there are some differences! The soles of his feet are not suspended in the air like last time, but are firmly on the ground.

"Jiang Tangxi, we finally meet." The low voice of the leading man in black echoed in the room. He slowly walked towards Jiang Tangxi with a cunning light in his eyes.

Jiang Tangxi did not retreat. She stared into the eyes of the man in black and said coldly, "Who are you? Why did you attack me?"

The man in black sneered and did not directly answer her question. Instead, he waved his hand, signaling others to surround Jiang Tangxi.

"It's none of your business who we are. What you need to know is... you must die today!"

Jiang Tangxi gripped his sword tightly, ready for battle.

"Haha, what a joke! Just relying on you puppets who are neither human nor ghost?"

The man in black sneered even more, "Or, we can make a deal. As long as you hand over the Green Jade of Life, I will let you die more easily!"

Jiang Tangxi's eyes flashed with anger, and he drew his sword, emitting a cold light. "You can try! Do you have what it takes?"

As she moved, a strong smell of gunpowder filled the air.

The black-clad puppets seemed to sense her determination and accelerated. Their ferocious faces were looming in the black smoke.

"Swish!" Jiang Tangxi stretched out her body and shuttled between the puppets like a civet cat. The sword light was like a weaving net, and every strike contained all her anger and strength.

Although the puppets were strong, they could not withstand her desperate attack. For a moment, sword shadows flew in the corridor, and black smoke and sword light intertwined into a thrilling picture.

"Hmph, I underestimated you." Seeing this, the leading man in black sneered and waved his hands, as if giving silent orders.

The black-clad puppets surrounding Jiang Tangxi moved more quickly and coordinated more tacitly. They began to adopt an encirclement tactic, attempting to attack from all directions at the same time, leaving Jiang Tangxi nowhere to escape.

Then, the leader in black took something out of his arms.

It is a turquoise blue stone.

Jiang Tangxi looked at the shape and felt it looked familiar, but was still confused.

suddenly.

At the moment when the azure stone burst into dazzling light, the entire space seemed to be distorted by an indescribable force, and an ancient and mysterious fluctuation filled the air.

Jiang Tangxi only felt a flash before her eyes, and countless complicated images suddenly emerged in her mind, flashing by as quickly as a kaleidoscope. Those images did not belong to her, yet seemed to be inextricably linked to her, giving her a splitting headache.

"What...what is this?" She tried to struggle, but her body seemed to be bound by invisible ropes and could not move.

The blue light grew stronger and stronger until it completely obscured her vision. Then, she was hit by a strong feeling of dizziness and her consciousness began to fade.

"Sky Tourmaline... haven't you been looking for it?"

The leading man in black laughed triumphantly, and the azure stone slowly spun in his hand, emitting an alluring luster.

Sky tourmaline? How could this man in black...

Before he could think about it, Jiang Tangxi's consciousness was completely taken away.

He fell to the ground instantly.

As Jiang Tangxi fell, the black-clad puppets also stopped their movements. After wandering around for a few circles, they followed the instructions of the men in black and retreated into the shadows in an orderly manner. The remaining few picked up Jiang Tangxi's body and walked towards the pond.

"Throw it down..." a woman said coldly.

"Bang..."

The water splashed and ripples appeared.

After doing these things, the group disappeared like ghosts!

All that was left was a devastated battlefield and Jiang Tangxi sinking into the pond.
