Chapter 215: Night Attack
Mengran stepped forward, folded her waist, Yingying bowed, and her voice was gentle: "Mengran has seen His Highness the King of Qin."
Xiao Jingxuan pulled the corners of his mouth lightly and said calmly, "Get up!"
At this time, the servants in the mansion came over with a tray with white pots and cups on it. Meng Ran turned around, picked up the pots, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one of them to Xiao Jingxuan, "I have admired His Highness the King of Qin for a long time. I am honored to see you today. I respect His Highness a glass."
After saying that, she raised her glass with a refreshing look, covered her face with red sleeves, and drank the wine in the glass in one go.
Xiao Jingxuan held the wine glass and gently stroked his fingers on the edge of the glass. Meng Ran looked at him with a smile, as if waiting for him to drink the wine. Others also looked at them, and some even began to cheer.
"Drink..."
"The other girl has drunk it, so don't be shy."
Xiao Jingsheng glanced at the empty cup in Mengran's hand and smiled and said, "Miss Mengran is quite refreshing."
It means he is not happy enough. Xiao Jingxuan saw his strangeness in his eyes for a moment, put the glass of wine to his nose and sniffed it, "This wine..."
He deliberately paused and elongated, but it was meaningful to everyone's ears.
"Why? Looking at the eyes of so many eyes, Miss Mengran has just drunk a glass. My fourth brother is still afraid that the wine will be poisonous?" Xiao Jingsheng asked back.
"I want to say that this wine is good!" After Xiao Jingxuan said that, he glanced at Miss Mengran, gently curled the corners of his lips, and raised his head to drink all the wine.
Meng Ran took a breath in secret and looked at Xiao Jingxuan quickly. He just happened to look at her. The two of them had a light meeting in the air, and then they moved away without a trace.
Xiao Jingxuan put down the wine glass, Mengran held the wine pot and was about to pour another glass of wine for him. The sleeves slid down, revealing a piece of snow-white wrist.
Xiao Jingxuan narrowed his black eyes slightly and suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Why just toast me? King Jing is today's birthday star. You should toast him a glass. And all the young men here must also admire the girl's charm. You can go and toast each of them."
"This..." Meng Ran looked at Xiao Jingsheng.
Xiao Jingxuan raised his handsome eyebrows, "What? You don't want to?"
"Of course not." Mengran said quickly: "I am very willing."
But she didn't think so in her heart. It would be strange if everyone toasted her with a glass of wine. But it didn't matter. She just had to delay the time. After King Qin had just drank the glass of wine, he would soon react.
Then he poured a glass of wine, raised his glass to King Jing to toast and drank the wine, and then poured another glass and continued to toast the prince, King Jin, King Yu, Prince of Chu, etc.
One cup, two cups, three cups...
The people who came out of the brothel were different. Mengran's cheerfulness and heroic spirit pushed the atmosphere at the scene to the highest point, but she respected almost half of the people, and she was a little dizzy when she drank. She saw Xiao Jingxuan still sitting in her seat and talking to the prince.
Why hasn't the effect started to attack?
Why doesn't he show signs of fainting?
Meng Ran stood in front of Shang Shi and raised her glass to toast, but a handsome young man beside him suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled her into his arms rudely. Because it suddenly stopped, her wine pot fell to the ground and the wine splashed all over her red skirt.
Shang Shi stood up and said, "Xu Yuliang, what do you mean?"
This sudden change made everyone stop drinking and eating and looking at them one after another.
"What's the point of sacrificing this way? Why not sit down and have a drink with me for two." Xu Yuliang was already a little drunk, and he had admired Mengran for a long time. He had spent a lot of money in Juxing Pavilion and had not seen her once. Now that he saw her, he lost his calmness for a while, and blurted out his rude words.
"Miss Mengran was invited by me. Did I ask her to come and have you drunk?"
Although King Jing is gentle, he does not allow anyone to cause trouble at his banquet. Xu Yuliang, who relies on his sister as the crown princess, is used to being arrogant and domineering in his daily life. Now he dares to do whatever he wants at his banquet.
"Isn't it just a dancer?" Xu Yuliang felt that King Jing was making a big fuss.
At this time, Xiao Jingxuan suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, I..." Before he finished speaking, his expression paused slightly.
Meng Ran's eyes, who was held in Xu Yuliang's arms, suddenly lit up. Is the medicine effective?
Xiao Jingsheng's heart also jumped up.
"I'm a little drunk."
Xiao Jingxuan's pupils were slightly dissipated, and his voice was softer than before.
"The King of Qin seems to be unable to drink." Xiao Jingsheng said.
"Fourth brother, I'll ask you to take you to the wing room for a rest."
King Jing immediately ordered the housekeeper to take Xiao Jingxuan to the wing room.
Xiao Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "No, my guard is outside, he will escort me back."
The prince said, "Then let Gu send you back, Gu will return to the palace."
Xiao Jingsheng immediately said: "Brother, I want to discuss some things with you. Can you talk about them after a while?"
"This..." the prince hesitated.
"Didn't the fourth brother say there are guards? Besides, the Qin Prince's Mansion is not far from here."
The prince thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Xiao Jingsheng then asked Xiao Jingxuan's guard Yun Xiao to come in and take Xiao Jingxuan away.
The banquet was only halfway through, and a person suddenly left. Everyone was disappointed. When they saw that the King of Qin was not so poor at the banquet, why did he feel so drunk after drinking a few drinks tonight?
Moreover, the King of Qin was carried out by Yun Xiao. Was he so drunk that he couldn't even walk? Or did they read it wrong?
Just as he was about to wipe his eyes and see clearly, Meng Ran pushed away Xu Yuliang's arm, took a glass of wine from the side, and said to everyone: "Meng Ran will not toast you one by one. This glass of wine will be regarded as Meng Ran's apologizing to you!"
After saying that, she raised her glass and drank it all in one go.
Xiao Jingsheng said: "Miss Mengran has drunk a lot of wine tonight. If she toasts one by one, she may not even be able to stand firmly. We should not force her."
His goal has been achieved, Mengran can retire successfully, so naturally he doesn't have to drink with him.
King Jing did not insist and nodded generously to agree, "Miss Mengran is tired tonight, so you can retreat first."
"this……"
Xu Yuliang was just thinking about talking, but Shang Shi stopped him: "Don't make trouble! This is King Jing's Mansion, not a brothel or a dance floor. If you like Miss Mengran, go to Juxing Pavilion to find her next time, but you can't have any other thoughts tonight."
King Jing is different from other princes. He handles government affairs for the prince, has real power, and is not someone who can offend casually.
Xu Yuliang's alcohol dissipated a little, and he could think normally in his mind. After listening to Shang Shi's words, he no longer made things difficult for Meng Ran.
...
Outside King Jing's mansion, Yun Xiao helped Xiao Jingxuan onto the carriage. Just as he was about to ask the driver to drive away, two people walked out of the door.
Yun Xiao glanced at him and said, "One of them was Miss Mengran. The girl beside her rushed forward and walked to the carriage and said, "Sir, can you take us all the way?"
"Sorry, we are not going to go along." Yun Xiao put down the curtain and ordered the coachman to drive away.
"Yes." The coachman promised, let go of the reins, and the carriage drove away.
After watching them leave, the maid said to Mengran: "Looking at how hurry they left, it seems that the medicine is really effective."
Meng Ran smiled and said, "Isn't this great? Our mission has been completed."
After saying that, she raised her hand to the dark corner, and then a carriage slowly drove out.
On this side, Xiao Jingxuan leaned in the carriage, with his black eyes very calm, and he was not drowsy at the banquet just now. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was waiting for something.
"Go to the east alley."
"Yes, prince." The coachman agreed.
When Yun Xiao heard this, his expression tense and pressed his right hand on his waist.
Although the East Lane is relatively remote, it has few people and is also the closest road to the Qin Palace. Because there have been many murders on this road, few people will take this road at night.
The carriage slowly turned into the east alley and the wheels rolled over the bluestone slab.
The night wind began to restlessness, and with a murderous aura, it rushed towards me.
"kill!"
A low and rough voice broke the quiet alley.
Several figures were as strong as cheetahs, and suddenly jumped out from all sides. The cold moon scimitar shining with green light seemed to swear to take the life of the person in the car.
"Yun Xiao, don't worry about me later." Xiao Jingxuan said.
"But……"
"This is an order!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several scimitars slashed towards the carriage. Yun Xiao drew his sword to fight. Even the seemingly inconspicuous coachman pulled out a long sword from under the shaft to block the person. Although he held the sword in his left hand, his moves were sharp and sophisticated, he was clearly a master of swordsmanship.
But after all, there were differences in the number of people. Soon, six killers were pestering Yun Xiao and the coachman respectively. Two tall masked killers jumped into the carriage. One of them sat in the carriage, waved the horse whip, and drove the carriage away.
"Prince..." Yun Xiao was anxious and was scratched in his arm.
He wanted to break through, but was entangled by these killers. The coachman was good at it and was hit twice. Although it was not a vital point, it was difficult to get out for a while.
...
Night, silence.
In the dark alley, there were two petite figures hunched their waists and walked forward carefully. There were a few barking sounds in the distance, and a cold wind suddenly blew from the entrance of the alley, which made people stand up.
The figure walking behind suddenly stopped and whispered: "Girl, let's go back, I'm afraid."
The girl in front turned around and said, "With this girl accompanying you, what are you afraid of?"
"But this is not good. If the lady knows, I will be deducted monthly money." She climbed out of the wall at midnight to pick Weituo flowers in the back garden of Mujia.
The old lady has asthma for many years, but unfortunately she has not been cured. Her girl heard that Weituohua can cure tuberculosis and asthma. Therefore, she knew that there was a Weituohua planted in the back garden of the Mu family mansion in the west of the city. Unfortunately, the Mu family refused to give up one.
When the girl found out that the Weituo flower in the Mu family would bloom tonight, she wanted to sneak into the Mu family's back garden in the middle of the night and pick it off before the flowers withered.
The majestic mansion in front is the back garden of the Mu family mansion. They just walked through the alley and arrived soon. To be honest, this was the first time she did such a sneaky thing. Her girl was very skilled and bold, but she was just a little maid.
"If I'm deducted, I'll make it up for you." After saying that, the girl quickly walked through the alley. Because she didn't see the road conditions clearly, she tripped by something under her feet and fell forward.

Guess who this girl is?
There is another update tonight!
