Chapter 164 (Chapter 1) Marriage and Killing (Section 25) Engagement Ceremony 2

Although it was inevitable that he was nervous, Qingkong still followed his promise, put on a veil to cover his face, and prepared to enter the pledge tower, and be his last stand-in.

It was two quarters of an hour before midnight, and the attendant who came to pick him up knocked on the door of the princess' dormitory. At this time, Qingkong was the only one who was standing in the room with a jewel of jewels. The real Princess Vanessa had already left her room half an hour ago.

[Probably to avoid suspicion and to be able to spend this night of engagement ceremony safely.] Qingkong thinks so.

In order to avoid showing off, Qingkong repeatedly reminded himself not to make any words, and all responses were expressed by nodding and gestures. Of course, the attendant was not talking much, so this response was enough.

So, following the steps of the two maids and the two guards came to the tower, and the exquisite sedan chair was already waiting at the door, and there were dozens of golden armored guards behind the sedan chair.

Stepping on a sedan chair, escorted by the soldiers, we headed towards the deepest part of the royal city. About a quarter of an hour later, the team stopped under a tower in Lianshan. The tower was constructed of white jade, mixed with stone-decorated eaves and edges, exuding the same sacred meaning of the Holy Spirit Hall.

Walking out of the sedan chair, the two guards pushed open the thick stone gate carved with the pattern of flying dragons ascending to heaven for "The Princess", "The Princess, I promise that the tower is forbidden, and only the royal family can enter. The next road to the tower is only for you." The guard on one side said.

The pretended princess nodded slightly, dragged her gorgeous purple skirt and long tail, and walked firmly into the tower.

When Qingkong's figure completely sank into the exquisite and mysterious religious totem on the ground of the Oath Tower, the stone gate behind her was also locked up by the guards.

The first floor lobby of the Oath Tower is an empty circular room with the teachings of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Pictures on all sides. The totems depicted in the wheels on the floor emit a faint golden light, which is the only source of light in this room, making the walls on all sides look more mysterious.

Walking through the gate, facing the only spiral staircase entrance leading to the upper floor. Qingkong walked up the first step and looked up, and suddenly felt dizzy [this is too high, right] She cursed in her heart. The crystal shoes she wore were ten centimeters high. Although it was in the game, she could walk as fast as she could, but for such a high floor and so many stairs, it would take half an hour to reach the top, and her feet were not tired, and her heart would be tired.

[Anyway, I have to exchange it with the princess when it’s time, so I’ll just stay on the first floor and make a soy sauce until dawn.] Qingkong thought so, sat on the first stairs, supported his head with his arms, and became entangled.

Time passes by the boring entanglement of the sky. She sits, lies, and leans on the stairs, floors, and walls. She changes countless positions on the stairs, floors, and walls. She is still lazy and unwilling to climb up. She just hopes that time will pass earlier and that the real princess will come back sooner to change her identity until

There seemed to be a commotion from all sides of the quiet and silent, and the sound came from outside the tower.

Qingkong stood up and ran a few steps up the stairs. What she was afraid of was that if the tower gate was pushed open and someone found out that she had not gone up to the top room to recite scriptures, then her identity as she pretended to be was exposed.

Before she could worry more, the commotion outside the tower was getting closer and closer, and Qingkong's panic became more and more powerful. She had to lift her heavy skirt with both hands, spread her long legs, and quickly run towards the top of the tower.

After running upwards, there may be more than a dozen circles of spiral stairs. Qingkong seemed to hear the sound of the stone door under the tower being pushed open. Although he was uncertain, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

[Is there really an assassin coming to assassin to assassin tonight?] Qingkong didn't believe the argument that "the last time the assassin was chanting scriptures at the Tower of Vanessa" was said. He just agreed to come to the stand-in to give Princess Vanessa psychological comfort, so he was not ready to deal with the assassin. At this moment, her only idea was to run, run to the top level and think of countermeasures.

There seemed to be really sounding footsteps of climbing stairs under the tower. Although it was slight, it was not far away, making Qingkong's panic even more violent, and his footsteps accelerated and he ran wildly.

The number of spiral circles of the stairs above the head was getting smaller and smaller, and the room at the highest was getting closer and closer. I didn't think about how to deal with the assassin when it reached the highest, but I felt inexplicably that I could only find a life-saving straw when I ran there. So, my head was blank and the white jade door at the entrance of the top room appeared in front of me.

Without hesitation, he pushed open the door with both hands. The scene in front of him made the girl stunned and stood there, like a bolt from the blue, incredibly and without reason.

She saw Prince Johnny's body hanging in front of the statue of the Holy Spirit

My feet became weak, Qingkong sat on the ground, not understanding what happened

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind her, "Qingkong Qingkong is about to stand up and there is no time."

Qingkong turned his head and saw Leoria's figure appear at some point, and he picked her up from the ground: "I alarmed the guards on the edge of the tower. The pursuers assigned by the royal family may come up to the tower soon, so we have to get out of here quickly."

Qingkong finally came back to some consciousness. At this time, she also clearly heard the sound of commotion that seemed to be coming from the bottom of the tower.

"I don't know what happened" she looked at Leoria in panic.

"I understand, this is a trap." Leoria touched her head comfortably and repeated, "We have no time anymore and we must leave here quickly."

"How to leave" the entire tower looks like there is only the only entrance and exit at the bottom of the tower. In addition to the statue of the Holy Spirit, the room on this top floor is a circle of strip windows made of stained glass, with no exit.

The sound behind her was becoming clearer and clearer, the footsteps of metal armor rubbing could be heard. Leoria quickly pulled Qingkong into the room on the top floor, closed the door, and then grabbed the girl's shoulder and said to her: "Don't be afraid, believe me."

After saying that, he pulled the girl over, came to a window, drew out his sword, and smashed the glass to pieces. The strong wind outside the tower blew up and uncovered the veil of the clear sky.

"What are you going to do?" Qingkong's face suddenly became bloodless. Without looking, she could also feel the height of the tower and the state of falling down. "You are not going to jump down, right?" the girl asked in disbelief.

"Yes." Leoria pulled the girl in, "This is the only way now."

Qingsun was still hesitating, but the sound outside the door seemed to be not far away. The white jade stone door opened inward with a click. At the moment, Leoria picked up the girl in the waist and jumped out of the window and was to be continued.
