Chapter 917: Mysterious Man

Xingqi City, the Royal Palace.

As night falls, a bright moon hangs high in the sky. I stand under the eaves, with a lotus pond and rockery in front of me. The breeze blows, making my cloak rustle. On both sides are several elite NPC guards from the Longxiang Cavalry Regiment. Looking at me respectfully, as for Luo Qingyi, he was resting in the back hall. At this time, he could probably hear the sound of slight breathing.

In the battle information, merit points are continuously gained, jumping 2,000 points per second, and it feels like watching gold coins raining from the sky.

Unconsciously, more than an hour passed, and just when I was about to take a nap, I heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, and then a guard walked over lightly with a fruit basket in his hand, and whispered respectfully. : "My lord, has the princess rested?"

"Already asleep."

"Your Majesty asked me to deliver a basket of sweet fruits to the princess."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

I reached out to take the fruit basket and said, "Just leave it to me. I will pass it to the princess."

"But……"

He showed a hint of embarrassment and said: "But Your Majesty ordered me to hand over the fruit basket to the Princess with my own hands. If I just bother you to hand it over, I'm afraid... once Your Majesty is blamed, I won't be able to bear the responsibility."

"That's okay."

I opened the door, stepped into the room first, pointed to the table in front of the big bed where Luo Qingyi slept, and said, "Put it down gently, and then you can leave."

"yes!"

He bent his waist, holding the fruit basket in one hand and the hem of clothes in the other, and stepped into the hall gently. Then he placed the fruit basket on the table, but after completing these actions, he casually looked at Luo Qing on the bed. Luo Qingyi was wearing only a thin piece of clothing like water. With his breathing, his peaks rose and fell, and his graceful figure was unobstructed. Suddenly, the guard showed a greedy look, and there was even a faint light flickering around him. The space was a little distorted, and a hand reached out to Luo Qingyi's breasts by accident.

"what you do!?"

I gently grabbed his wrist, pulled him back suddenly, and tried to keep my voice low so as not to wake Luo Qingyi. If I did, my merit points reward would be interrupted. Wouldn't that be a loss of blood! ?

"Nothing's wrong with the villain, nothing's wrong with the villain..."

He exited the door and bowed repeatedly.

"roll!"

I closed the door and snorted coldly.

"Yes, sir, get out of here, little one..." He turned around and ran away.

I frowned and said to the elite Longxiang cavalry behind me: "Four of you go into the room to guard the princess, and the rest stay outside to guard the door. I will follow him. This person is weird."

"Yes, sir, be careful!"

"rest assured!"

Taking advantage of the moonlight, the mark of the mount was flowing with a faint thunder light under the feet, and the movement speed was much faster than ordinary people. In one step, he rushed out of the front of the hall, walked around the corner, and found himself under an ancient tree full of blooming flowers. The guard As he was leaving in despair, I drew my sword without even thinking about it, charged directly behind him, raised my divine sword and burst out a ray of brilliance from the Wind God Thorn to stab his back!

"Um?!"

The guard's reaction speed was extremely astonishing. He turned around in an instant, with a pair of eyes showing a faint blood red. He opened his right hand, like an eagle's claw, to catch the edge of the divine sword, and the Fengshen thorn penetrated with a "puff". His armor made a huge jump, and then, he roared like a wild beast, his face became extremely ferocious, and he suddenly rushed towards him, clasping the divine sword with one hand, and reaching forward to grab it with the other hand. He took off my breastplate and his eyes were filled with coldness: "You meddling brat!"

"Buzz!"

There was a loud noise, and under a huge force, my whole body spun around. I was caught in the air by a mere guard, and then a majestic force fell on my abdomen, and there was a "Peng" sound. The whole person flew out, with a sharp pain in his abdomen and wind in his ears. Then he crashed a lampstand and rolled several times on the ground in a state of embarrassment before hitting the corner of a hall again.

"387672!"

"98870!"

"87266!"

…

Three levels of damage jumped one after another, and just as I struggled hard, a divine resurgence restored a certain amount of energy and blood. When I looked up, I found that the guard had rushed into the ancient trees of the imperial garden beside me and turned into a line of energy. The gray traces disappeared at an alarming speed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

This movement speed is much faster than me riding the Breaking Wind Thunder!

We can't chase anymore, and quickly return to Luo Qingyi's residence!

I rushed into the room, only to find four elite Longxiang cavalry looking at me cautiously, while Luo Qingyi was still lying lazily on the bed, breathing softly.

"Sir, are you okay?" one of the elite Longxiang cavalry asked.

"fine."

I shook my head: "You four, go out and guard outside. I can guard here alone."

"yes!"

The four of them turned around and left. I held the divine sword in my arms and sat gently on the footboard beside Luo Qingyi's bed. I tilted my head and looked at her sleeping face. This guy really had a big heart. He was really sleepy. Xiang had no idea that he had almost been attacked by a flower picker just now, so he opened the mini map, pricked up his ears, and paid close attention to everything around him.

More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already bright outside. According to time calculation, Luo Qingyi had been sleeping in the game for more than ten hours. It seemed that she was indeed exhausted from the Battle of Dragon Valley. Yes, this is understandable. I witnessed with my own eyes the scene of her fighting with the floating beetle army. She indeed lived up to her title as the strongest person outside the Xia Clan Dragon Territory. Such an NPC is also rare for China. She is a precious resource, I should protect her carefully, not to mention that when we were in Julu City, I already had friendships with Luo Qingyi and Sura. Everything I did today can be said to be as it should be.

"Hmm~~"

On the bed, Luo Qingyi let out a cry, raised her arms, stretched out charmingly, her beautiful eyes slowly opened, and she saw me sitting on the footboard beside the bed, and couldn't help but smile: "Ding Muchen, Did you just sit like this all night?"

"Almost, the princess is awake?"

"Well, I'm awake." She sat up and said with a smile, "Nothing happened last night, right?"

"It happened."

I pointed to the fruit basket on the table and said: "A guard pretended to be one of His Majesty's men and brought you the sweet fruit given by the Emperor. However, his intention was evil and I saw through it. After that, I chased him out and found him in the open space outside the palace. After fighting with him, this person is... very strong. I am no match for him. If he wants to kill me, it is probably possible. "

"Oh no……"

She opened her mouth slightly, frowning and said, "There is actually someone stronger than you, Ding Muchen, among the guards in the Royal Forest Army? And...who dares to assassinate me?"

"It's not that I'm trying to assassinate you."

I shook my head and said, "His eyes are full of lust and greed. I guess he just wants to get your body. He may not really want to kill you."

"this……"

Luo Qingyi clenched her pink fists, her pretty face flushed with anger, and said, "Have you seen clearly who he is?"

"I can see it clearly, but I don't recognize him. I haven't seen such a person before."

"good."

She immediately stood up and said: "After I wash up, you come with me to meet His Majesty. You can identify him along the way to see if this person is hiding with His Majesty. If so, we should take action." "

"yes!"

…

A few minutes later, after washing, Luo Qingyi's pretty face was still stained with a few drops of water, which looked bright and bright under the morning light. She was dressed in military uniform, with a sword hanging on her waist, and said: "Let's go, follow me to see His Majesty. "

"yes!"

The group of people left the residence and went straight to Lu Ning's bedroom. There were no obstacles along the way, but when they reached the front of the dormitory, just as we were about to enter the dormitory, a low dragon roar suddenly fell from the sky, followed by a black streak. The figure floated to the ground, making the fallen leaves spin in the excitement. It was a dark dragon, with a temple guardian riding on the dragon's back.

It seems that he can already control the dark dragon perfectly.

I looked up at him, and I felt that the face under the temple guardian helmet was a little blurry, and I couldn't see it clearly. It seemed that it was enveloped by an aura that was the same as the power of the dark dragon, and he was also looking at me, a pair of His sinister eyes were like lightning at the bottom of a pond, and he looked at me like this, and then said: "His Majesty's palace is forbidden to enter without permission!"

"Yeah?"

Luo Qingyi raised his hand and showed a golden token, saying: "Your Majesty personally gave me a pass token, is that okay?"

"It turns out...it's Princess Qingyi, so...please come in!"

The Dark Dragon Rider pulled the reins, and the dragon slowly moved out of the way. I followed Luo Qingyi and led a group of elite Longxiang Cavalry regiments into the palace. When I left, I looked back and my eyes collided with the Dark Dragon Rider's. The corner of his mouth raised slightly, There was a hint of a faint smile, but neither party spoke. Just the look at each other made me understand that another disaster was about to happen to the Xia clan.

In front of the palace, a group of guards and maids stood, and the door was closed.

Luo Qingyi knelt down on one knee: "Luo Qingyi, come and pay your respects to His Majesty!"

"Oh, Your Majesty is not awake yet, please retreat first."

A man's voice came from the room, and Luo Qingyi and I immediately frowned.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Luo Qingyi insisted.

"Then, just wait patiently."

…

Luo Qingyi stood up and stood side by side with me outside the hall.

But at this moment, a woman's high-pitched scream came from the palace, intermittent um um ah ah ah, sometimes high, sometimes low, extremely tactful, and it sounded like the voice of Queen Xia Lu Ning.

Suddenly, Luo Qingyi knew what was happening inside, and couldn't help but blush and glance at me.

I clenched my fists, looked indifferently, gritted my teeth, and said softly: "This is... too unscrupulous..."

"Um."

Luo Qingyi nodded lightly and didn't say much, but his expression was quite ugly. It was obvious that Lu Ning's behavior had made the Lord of Julu City feel strongly dissatisfied.
