Chapter 18: What happened late at night

In the quiet night, the carriage made a slight sound and rang on the empty street. An Ruoran gently lit the cigar in his mouth with the moonlight that penetrated outside the window and let out a long sip of smoke. He leaned leisurely in his position, looked at the petrified male opposite, and finally turned around and asked, "I said Naya, how long has this guy been in this position?"

"Two hours, he has been in this position since he and Miss Anne visited the garden." Naya pulled off his little dress and stretched out his hooves to shake in front of Winter's eyes. But as it expected, the stone-like Marquis was still immersed in that sense of happiness. The silly smile on the corner of his mouth was so cute, as if he had been knocked heavily on the back of his head...

"I said, if you are satisfied with this, then I have no choice." An Ruoran sighed helplessly, patted Winter on the shoulder and poured cold water on it, "You must understand that Miss Anne just has a slight favor to you now, and it's still early to get married! So, we must take advantage of the victory in chasing her in the past few days... It's wrong, we are trying to chase her!"

Hearing An Ruoran's malicious guidance, Winter finally got rid of his sense of happiness and tried it happily and wanted to act now. An Ruoran pressed his shoulder, touched his chin thoughtfully, and suddenly smiled strangely: "When it comes to this, I suddenly have a good inspiration. Winter, can you serenade?"

"An, you mean to let me go outside Miss Anne's house..." Winter was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed an incredible expression, his face turned a little green. An Ruoran narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with interest, "Yes, although this method is very old-fashioned, the effect must be very good. In addition, if you use magic fireworks and then use candles to put patterns on the ground... Well, your expression tells me, you don't seem to like this suggestion very much?"

"I don't like this, but..." Winter smiled bitterly and touched his chin. He doubted whether he had that courage. But at this moment, the Mercedes-Benz carriage suddenly stopped. Before they could react, they heard a whistling sound suddenly. The brilliance of silver light shot down from the roof of the car and directly crashed into the car!

The silver light arrived in front of Winter in an instant, and then took the position of his heart without mercy. Fortunately, An Ruoran reacted very quickly, and the blood-soul spear flashed by, forcing the assassin to block it sideways. He took the opportunity to pull Winter back and jumped out by force.

Before they could stand up, dozens of black shadows had suddenly shot from all directions, and countless silver lights intersected into light nets in the night, covering all the space within a radius of several meters! An Ruoran knew that their target was Winter, and immediately shouted suddenly, swung his fist and forced dozens of assassins to retreat several steps. Then, under his instigation, the Yutian Sword suddenly soared into the air, and scared Winter, who was lying behind him, shouted softly!

"Hold on, you will bear the consequences if you fall!" Ruoran chuckled quietly, and An Ruoran suddenly shot straight down. The Yutian Sword shuttled freely among the crowd, and each attack of the Blood Soul Spear would knock down several people. Seeing that the situation was not good, several assassins suddenly gritted their teeth and jumped up, trying to stab the pale Winter even when they were attacked. However, before they could get up in the air, Naya, who came to his senses, shot a series of magical volleys, and knocked all the living targets in the air into pieces!

With a sudden shout, two high-level assassins jumped down from the eaves and rushed straight to An Ruoran who was driving the Yutian Sword and shooting by. The time was quite accurate. However, looking at the figure that rushed towards him, An Ruoran actually smiled strangely, and then gently tapped on the belt around her waist. Two seconds later, the silver needle that burst out came overwhelmed and shot the two assassins who had no ability to dodge into a hornet's nest. Before their bodies could land, the Yutian Sword had rushed into the crowd again, and then another slaughter of boringness!

In the face of this overwhelming attack, the assassins finally realized in despair that there was no chance of winning. With a whistle, the remaining dozen remaining assassins turned around and ran away. Their injured companions also detonated their bodies at the same time, relying on the permeated blood mist to cover their vision. An Ruoran finally carried Winter, who had no ability, so he did not dare to attack rashly, and could only watch them escape from the scene. It was not until this time that Winter came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief, murmured: "Yes, who did it?"

"I don't know, but their target is obviously you!" An Ruoran shrugged without any reason, and the commander Yutian Sword slowly landed. He could see clearly that the attacks of these assassins were concentrated on Winter, and their only mistake was that they did not expect their existence. So, what did Winter do, triggered the attacks of dozens of mid- and high-level assassins, which was a big move.

"I did nothing. I just returned to Gould City less than two days!" Winter spread his hands with lingering fear, but he suddenly was stunned and said with a gloomy face: "An, do you think it's... Marquis Rhine, that guy is said to have dealt with other suitors of Miss Anne before!"

"It's possible, but wouldn't such a blatant attack be too stupid?" Although Winter's analysis was reasonable, An Ruoran still found it a little incredible. Moreover, judging from the attack just now, these assassins had obviously been arranged for a long time, and Rhine had not taken Winter seriously before the banquet began. How could he plan to get rid of this seemingly uncompetitive rival in advance?

But all this was speculation. None of the assassins at the scene survived. Many of them swallowed poison on their own and obviously did not intend to give the other party a chance to force confession. Seeing this, An Ruoran could only summon the Yunlong chariot and take Winter back to his house temporarily. Without waiting for them to drive out of the street, the city defense force who learned the news arrived hurriedly, although this kind of hindsight was proved to be ineffective.

Thanks to this sudden attack, Gould City became much more solemn in the next few days. A large number of city defense forces drove to the streets to search, but their only contribution was that the public security situation had risen sharply without capturing any assassin. At the same time, Duke Red, who learned the news, was furious. He had subconsciously determined what else should the mastermind behind the attack prove? There is no doubt that if his nephew Winter could be removed, Miss Anne might turn to the arms of the Marquis Rhein, which was a big variable for the election of speakers a few months later.

Regarding this accusation, Speaker Catherine and Marquis Rhine naturally denied it and strongly demanded that Duke Red provide real evidence. For a moment, the political situation in Gould City began to become tense, and the two forces who dreamed of ascending the highest power began to compete, and the smell of gunpowder began to become stronger and stronger. Some experienced politicians even began to doubt whether this would be the secret trouble of the Kashyapa Empire, hoping to destroy the stability of the northern continent...

But no matter how the political situation changes, many things still have to follow their own steps. For example, Marquis Winter's plan to pick up girls. After the assassin attack, Winter's family issued strict orders, requiring Winter to handle Miss Anne as soon as possible, so as to add weight to the parliamentary elections for a while. So in this case, the poor Marquis had to accept An Ruoran's proposal to implement the fun plan of "serenade".

"Don't worry, just sing serenades. Just think you are a bard!" After bribing the janitor of Anne's mansion, An Ruoran and his friends began to set up temporary performance stages downstairs of Miss Anne's boudoir under the surveillance of dozens of guards. Looking at Winter's trembling legs, An Ruoran could only force a lyre to him, and then took a few steps back with Naya, and at the same time, he stuffed his ears with tactfulness. According to the past situation, the out-of-tune singing voice of this marquis was no different from the sound of killing pigs when he was very nervous...

But beyond their expectations, Winter, who was forced into a corner and had no way out, suddenly exploded at this moment. With the melodious music of the lyre, he actually made a wonderful aria in the tenor, and then the temporary adaptation of "Anne and the Rose". Although the tone was a little higher, from the way Miss Anne opened the window and stared at her curiously, she seemed not very disgusted with this performance...

"It's not bad, the beginning of a good thing is half the success." An Ruoran breathed a long sigh and sat leisurely by the flower bed to appreciate it. He began to consider whether to applaud or cheer, or make a few fluorescent cards to cheer for Winter. If he found a few female fans to come and flowers, the effect might be better.

At the same time, Winter has already sung to the most important part. After a long tail sound that is suffocating, he suddenly fell to the ground on one knee and raised his head to present a rose to Miss Anne above! At this moment, dozens of magic fireworks burst out at the same time, shining in the night sky. The subtitles are just this scene, which is afraid that many young women fainted when they shouted "Romantic"!

But this was just the beginning. When the light of the fireworks gradually fell, An Ruoran suddenly hid in the shadow and coughed lightly. The next moment, thousands of candles suddenly lit downstairs of Miss Anne at the same time. They emitted colorful lights and merged into Anne's beautiful face, lifelike like a real person. As the **s continued, Winter played the lyre again and sang another love song.

"To be honest, it's really romantic!" An Ruoran sighed softly, and suddenly felt that he wanted to find an opportunity to give it a try. Perhaps this could help him win Via's heart. Of course, maybe it would be a good method to wait for Christine's heart. So, where to use it first seems to be a very serious question...
