Chapter 293： people in the dark

Chapter 293 The Man in the Dark

A muffled thunder sounded from the sky, and the rain became more and more violent.

After night fell, there were no shadows of pedestrians on the street.

When Ruan Youqing looked out through the crack of the window, she really let her see the deep alley outside and the figures of people on the roofs of several houses.

It's just that who sent these people... makes her a little unpredictable.

It’s not the time of Xu…

Even if there is a storm, it is not a good time to kill and set fire.

Only when everyone sleeps deeply...

Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing left the window again and walked back to Zisu's side.

Seeing that she had no expression on her face, Zisu cautiously asked, "Master, is someone outside preparing to ambush?"

Ruan Youqing nodded, and lowered his voice extremely low: "Yes, it's just that it doesn't matter why the other party came here."

「Then... Kugli and the others...will they also be drugged?」

"If the enemy is not stupid, it is impossible to let them do nothing. Unless... they are on the same side."

Speaking of this, Ruan Youqing's eyes suddenly turned cold, and then she immediately returned to the window, squatted down and looked out carefully.

Not long after, she slightly raised the corners of her lips and walked back.

"Master...you are..." Zi Su was a little confused by Ruan Youqing's change.

Ruan Youqing narrowed his almond eyes slightly, and then said unhurriedly:

"Just now a thought popped into my mind, but when I went to the window, I found out that my thought was true. Those who were ambushing outside were actually not staring in our direction. Instead, they were all looking at us. We went upstairs, the room where Kugli was. When we left our seats just now, he had almost finished eating. When we went upstairs, I saw him standing up from the corner of the eye. Doing the math, he should also be I went back to the room. So... this group of people is mainly targeting him. More importantly, I just saw that the group of people closest to us has... the private mark of our Crown Prince."

"So... the crown prince is going to attack Wizard Guz? But didn't you tell Zi Su... did they conspire? Could it be..."

The corners of Ruan Youqing's mouth became wider and wider: "He has no permanent friends. And... I guess our respected His Royal Highness thinks that his little plan has come to a perfect conclusion, right?"

「He wants to kill Kugli?」

Ruan Youqing nodded, and then leaned back rarely laxly.

Zisu unconsciously evoked a smile: "Then master, we just watch the fire from the other side? Wait until the snipe and the clam fight...the fisherman wins? If Kugli is really dead..."

Ruan Youqing shook his head with a smile on the other hand: "No, no, no, Kugli is not so easy to kill. His ability is better than Li Yi. Zisu, don't underestimate our elders."

Seeing what Ruan Youqing said, Zisu's eyes lit up, and then she smiled brighter: "Master wants to..."

Ruan Youqing stood up energetically at this time, then moved his body, turned his head and smiled recklessly:

"Let's go, let's go to see a good show, and by the way... save people. Although Kugli is not an ordinary person, he is easy to underestimate the enemy. So he may... have no defense against the sweat medicine."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Youqing had already taken Zisu to Kugli's room.

After she was sure that the enemy hadn't made a move, she straightened her expression and knocked lightly on the door of the opponent's room.

"Who!"

Just after knocking twice, there was a distraught voice from inside.

Ruan Youqing then softly said: "It's me."

After hearing her voice, Kugli's voice was trembling and asked her to wait a moment.

After that, she heard someone in the room shuffling over.

After a while, the door was opened.

The room was dark, and a **** smell came directly to the face.

"Come in." Kugli turned pale, and the moment he turned around, Ruan Youqing had already seen the blood stains on his arm.

Responding quickly, he pulled Zisu into his room, and Zisu plugged the door bolt smoothly.

"Master Wizard, this is..." Ruan Youqing opened his mouth in surprise.

It's just that she already has some guesses in her heart.

Kugli glanced at them with a complicated expression, and then sat down on his own before he opened his mouth with some difficulty: "Someone gave us sweating medicine, you should know?"

Ruan Youqing covered his mouth in surprise and said, "Master Wizard, you...have been poisoned with sweat medicine, right? Youqing thought...you would not be afraid of such low-level things..."

Kugli smiled sullenly: "I never thought of capsizing in the gutter. But...Miss Ruan...Since you have seen it, why didn't you remind us?"

Ruan Youqing pursed his lips innocently, and said cautiously, "Master Shaman is so capable... Youqing thought you would be fine."

Seeing Ruan Youqing's serious face, Kugli clenched his fists a little bit. It's just that he didn't get angry, but gradually eased the cold attitude before continuing: "Then why did Miss Ruan come to me all of a sudden?"

Hearing Kugli's question, Ruan Youqing's expression became serious.

"Wizard, you also noticed that someone outside is looking here in the dark, right?"

Otherwise, it is impossible for Kugli not to light the lamp.

Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing continued to speak: "Just now I looked outside and found out...they are from His Highness the Crown Prince."

After Ruan Youqing finished speaking, she saw that Kugli's face instantly became extremely gloomy.

After realizing that Kugli didn't know the identity of the other party, Ruan Youqing continued: "Speaking of selfishness, after I found out about this... I could escape with Zisu. But..."

"Do you feel uneasy about leaving us behind?" Kugli's eyes were full of suspicion.

Ruan Youqing shook his head: "You Qing knows there are no secrets with Master Wizard, so, in all fairness, You Qing came here because he felt that only by saving you can You Qing go to Guz safely."

Seeing Ruan Youqing's serious face, and the reasons he gave were not high-sounding, Kugli finally gradually trusted her, and said unhurriedly: "After I found out that the meal was poisoned, I immediately went back to the room and used a knife The bloodletting kept me awake."

"My lord wizard...is really... brave..." Ruan Youqing praised with a sincere look.

Kugli glanced at her, and then said meaningfully: "Miss Ruan, do you really want to know why your crown prince sent someone to kill me?"

Ruan Youqing, who was poked in the center of his mind, didn't feel embarrassed, but just smiled lightly: "If Master Wizard wants to talk, Youqing will listen, if you don't want to talk, Youqing will naturally not ask."

Perhaps Ruan Youqing’s meaningless attitude made him feel interesting. After Kugli pointed to the chair beside Ruan Youqing and asked Ruan Youqing to sit down, he opened his mouth unhurriedly:

「I left him a good thing. After he thinks that he has achieved his goal, he may think that I am useless.」

「Then... what the wizard left behind is...」

Kugli stretched out his hand to touch the bleeding wound, then slowly raised his eyes to look at Ruan Youqing, with an evil smile on his lips.

"What's left...is the heart-wrenching Gu that I made myself. It's just...that thing, he can't control it. I didn't tell him too much about some things, just to prevent...he would bite back."
