Chapter 143 Shadow Under the Night

The banquet lasted until late at night. After the banquet, the seminary returned to the Triumph Palace, while Zhong Cheng went alone to the hotel where the room was scheduled this morning. Originally, Feixue should have been right with him, but Murong Yun was worried about Feixue and Zhong Cheng, so he said that he would leave Feixue in the palace.

Zhong Cheng didn't want to argue with this unruly little princess, so she agreed to meet in the hotel tomorrow and left alone. Fortunately, Murong Yundao was not inhumane. He knew that Zhong Cheng did not know the way, so he specially arranged a carriage for him to send him back.

Today's Zhong Cheng sits quietly in the bumpy carriage.

The imperial city under the night looks particularly quiet. There are no pedestrians on the windy streets, only those lonely lanterns are still shining. It is said that the curfew policy was implemented because of the enrollment of Tongtheological College. Because the night is the stage of evil, the night of the imperial city is always full of violence and desire. In order not to make a bad impression on the people of the college, it is still necessary to have a curfew these days.

Zhong Cheng sat in the carriage and listened to the sound of horses' hoofs and shaking. Somehow, he felt a little depressed. Maybe it's because the night is too late. The street was so quiet that the driver said no words, so the atmosphere was naturally strange.

However, no one on the street is because of the curfew, and the driver doesn't say it because he and Zhong Cheng don't know each other at all. Therefore, the atmosphere is actually normal.

It's just Zhong Cheng's heart that is restless.

Zhong Cheng put his hand on his heart and muttered, "Why do you always have this uneasy feeling recently..."

"Let me answer you." After the white smoke flashed, Bauhinia's figure appeared beside Zhong Cheng, "Because you have offended too many people in this Tianji country, I'm afraid that others will revenge on you."

This sounded like making fun of Zhong Cheng, but in fact, it can be seen from Bauhinia's serious and beautiful face that her purpose was not to mock Zhong Cheng, but to remind Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng sighed, nodded helplessly and said, "You're right. Although I don't want to admit it, I do have a lot of enemies..."

Looking at Zhong Cheng's expression of wanting to stop talking, Bauhinia raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Are you thinking about the prince of Tianji Kingdom, Murong Yang?"

Zhong Cheng did not deny it and nodded, "Yes, I really care about the prince. At today's banquet, his eyes always looked fierce. And although I am far away from him, I can always feel the murderous spirit in him. So I'm worried that he may take action against me at some point."

Bauhinia smiled and praised, "Well, you should be more guarded when you act. I don't know if the prince will come out to you tonight, but I can promise you that as long as he is still alive, he will never let you go. Even if there is no deep hatred between you!"

"Haha," Zhong Cheng laughed dumbly and said with a wry smile, "You also know that we have no deep hatred! Speaking of which, why on earth should I beware of him and why should he deal with me? Is it just because of jealousy?"

"Yes, just because of jealousy!" Bauhinia continued in an unquestionable tone: "Love has something to do with desire. Princes like Murongyang, who are raised in a favorable position, have a much stronger desire than ordinary people. In his opinion, the public lost Feixue is already his property. Your approach to his everything is challenging his majesty. The majesty of the strong is not provocative, so he will definitely hit you hard!"

"The analysis is in place. Hearing what you said, I finally understand." Zhong Cheng smiled gently, casually opened the curtains beside him, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside. He turned his back to Bauhinia like this, and then slowly said:

"If so, you have to apologize to Murong Yang. Even if he is the prince, his majesty can't control me."

"Oh?" Bauhinia raised his tone and smiled softly, "It seems that you are very serious!"

"Is it okay not to be serious about life-threatening matters?" Zhong Cheng did not look back and continued coldly, "If he really attacked me, there is no reason for me to let him go."

"It's okay if you think so. Kindness depends on the object. I hope you can keep it in mind. I'll go back to the ghost beads first. Be careful yourself.

After finally reminding Zhong Cheng once, Bauhinia flashed back into theming zhu.

Zhong Cheng looked up at the bright moon outside the window and gradually frowned.

When the carriage stopped in front of the hotel, the bright moon in mid-air happened to be covered by dark clouds. Therefore, when Zhong Cheng got out of the car, the surrounding environment was extremely dark. Fortunately, there were still two lanterns hanging at the left and right ends of the hotel, so it was not dark here.

After the carriageman said "little retreat" gloomyly, he drove away along the street. When the carriage gradually disappeared in the dark, only Zhong Cheng stood alone in front of the hotel on the huge street.

Zhong Cheng, who had been running around for a day, was tired and sleepy, and couldn't wait to lie down and sleep immediately. When the sudden wind blew, it instantly woke up his brain. Zhong Cheng shivered and subconsciously tightened his thin coat. Although it is summer now, the cold wind in the early morning is still very penetrating.

Thanks to the stimulation of the cold wind, Zhong Cheng suddenly thought of observing the surrounding situation. There are lanterns outside the stores around him, but the dim light obviously can't reflect the darkness of the night. And the dark streets are still empty as ever.

Zhong Cheng didn't want to stay here more, so he knocked on the wooden door of the hotel a few steps forward. However, Zhong Cheng knocked for a long time and didn't see anyone opening the door. He was surprised and pushed the wooden door hard. Unexpectedly, the door was pushed open with a creak!

Zhong Cheng looked at the dark inside the door, and his heart was both surprised and doubtful. While he was wondering whether to go in or not, the sound of Bauhinia suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Be careful, trouble is coming!"

Zhong Cheng was shocked. Just as he was about to ask, a shining flying knife came to his face like a strong wind! Zhong Cheng hesitated a little, and then moved his body to avoid the flying knife.

"Who!"

Zhong Cheng shouted loudly and bounced back at the same time with his legs.

The sneaker in the room did not answer Zhong Cheng's question, and silently shot out three cold flying knives again! Fortunately, Zhong Cheng was already prepared, and there was lantern lighting outside the house, so when the flying knife came, Zhong Cheng had gorgeously dodged the attack of the other party with the blessing of the sword of the wind. And this time, Zhong Cheng also took the opportunity to move his steps to make the distance between himself and the hotel a little longer.

The enemy is in this hotel, and the hotel is dark. Zhong Cheng, who is unknown, dares not approach this dangerous place.

Although he distanced himself, Zhong Cheng did not dare to take it lightly. He stared wide at the dark inn and alerted the enemy's attack.

"Hey."

A cold laughter sounded at this moment shocked Zhong Cheng, who was nervous! There is no other reason, just because the laughter sounded from behind Zhong Cheng!

When Zhong Cheng suddenly turned around, the door of the store behind him had been knocked away, and then a dark shadow rushed out of the door and lifted the long * in his hand to Zhong Cheng!

Due to the sudden incident, Zhong Cheng had no time to perform any magic, so he had to roll on the ground and narrowly avoid this wind-like head-on blow.

However, the dark shadow's attack did not end. When Zhong Cheng, who had escaped the attack, was still half kneeling, the shadow's wrist turned over and shook his long gun to attack Zhong Cheng again.

Rain falling gun!

The tip of the long gun shook rapidly, causing an attack as dense as raindrops. In Zhong Cheng's eyes, countless gunpoints were stabbing him at this moment, just like a drizzle!

In the face of danger, Zhong Cheng immediately used the sword of the wind by taking advantage of the other party's change of moves. Then, after seeing the other party's attack route clearly, he shook his body and gently avoided the rain-like attack. At the same time, Zhong Cheng's right fist suddenly broke and forced the shadow back.

After this lightning-like fight, Zhong Cheng judged that the man in black with a long gun in front of him was not as strong as himself. And the man in black seemed to know about this, and deliberately took a few more steps when he stepped back.

Zhong Cheng stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, then looked at the man in black in front of him and sneered, "Mo guard, why are you coming here if you don't protect the princess?"

The man in black who is not masked in front of him is Mo Lin, the bodyguard who was taught by Zhong Cheng before today! Although Mo Lin is the bodyguard of Princess Murong Yun, in fact, the person he is loyal to is Murong Yun's brother, Murong Yang, the prince of Tianji Kingdom!
