Chapter 330: Betrayal, Backstabbing
The person who surprised Lu Fan and Xiaoqian the most appeared.
Qiu Liang, this person who should have been dead and even suspected by Lu Fan, is now standing right in front of them.
And Suzu did put his hands on his shoulders and looked at the two people who walked over, his brows furrowed slightly.
"I think I've seen you. ”
Qiu Liang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I don't know where this beautiful young lady has seen me?"
"Rose. Suzu shook the dagger in her hand, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that you were the one who cooperated with the Gui family on behalf of the enemy, right?"
Hearing this, Princess Hui'er also raised her head, but Lu Fan saw that the tears on her face had not been wiped away.
"Brother Qiu, what the hell is going on, why didn't you die, obviously you were injured like that that day......"
The smile on Qiu Liang's face remained unchanged, he first touched the princess's head, and then said lightly.
"This lord seems to have seen me before, but it doesn't matter, I can explain it. ”
"Your Excellency Lu Fan!!"
Just as Lu Fan was about to wait for Qiu Liang to explain, a shout suddenly came from behind him.
Looking back, it was Betin and others who rushed over.
"Your Excellency Lu Fan, what's the situation on your side, the rebellion of most of the people has been basically stopped over there......
And when he saw Qiu Liang, Betin was stunned for a moment: "Dare to ask who this is?"
"What about the Qiu family and the Long family?"
Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and asked about the situation in the square first.
I didn't expect that the group of guys from the Diao family wouldn't last long, but they didn't know where the ghost-faced man had gone again.
"was tied up by Lord Chen and Lord Hu, and the Diao family was basically tied up except for the old man. ”
"This is the second son of the Qiu family, Qiu Liang. ”
Lu Fan pointed to Qiu Liang, who was still holding Princess Hui'er, and said.
"Qiu Liang?"
Betin didn't know about the twists and turns between these nobles of the Hippo Empire, so he nodded and took out a necklace.
"This is from that Diao Yan's body, it seems to be Princess Hui'er's thing. ”
Seeing this necklace, Princess Hui'er's face showed some joy: "Thank you, gentleman, it is true that Diao Yan snatched something from me." ”
"I don't know why they're doing anything to you and your necklace. ”
Xiao Qian looked at Hui'er who reached out to take the necklace, and always felt that there were some key points that she hadn't grasped yet.
Qiu Liang helped Princess Hui'er and said with a smile.
"I'll explain that. ”
Since Lu Fan was slightly injured and Princess Hui'er was also slightly injured, the speed of everyone's return was much slower.
"Actually, my father has always wanted to support the eldest princess to ascend to the throne......"
While walking, Qiu Liang slowly talked about the reason for the incident.
A long time ago, after the death of the king, when the empress delegated power, the enemy family was planning this.
“...... In fact, the accident that Hui'er encountered in the academy at the beginning...... It was also deliberately arranged by the Qiu family and the Long family. ”
When he said this, Qiu Liang touched Princess Hui'er's face, and his eyes were full of doting.
"In order to completely curb the second princess's excellent talent?"
The black-haired girl shook her head, the struggle for power and profit of the big family is so ruthless.
Princess Hui'er didn't care about this, she looked up and looked at the familiar face in front of her.
“...... Brother Qiu Liang, were you also sent to me in the first place?"
"Yes. ”
Qiu Liang seemed a little reluctant to answer, but after sighing, he still nodded.
Princess Hui'er lowered her eyes slightly, and murmured, "Is that really the case......?"
Qiu Liang's footsteps stopped at this moment, he looked at Princess Hui'er, who was a little lost, leaned down and comforted: "But I didn't carry out my father's orders well. ”
According to his meaning. The enemy family sent Qiu Liang over to make a layer of insurance to prevent some secrets that they didn't know from appearing on the empress's side.
"It's just that they didn't get any useful information, and I didn't report everything about Princess Hui'er, including the Empress giving her this necklace. ”
Qiu Liang showed an innocent expression.
"So you know the meaning of this necklace?"
Lu Fan nodded, believing his statement.
However, Qiu Liang shook his head.
"What Princess Hui'er doesn't know, how can I know, I only know why my father made a move on Hui'er. ”
Yes, Princess Hui'er only knew that her mother gave this thing to her, but she never said that this thing was of any use, and Princess Hui'er did not see her before her mother died.
"That assassination was actually my father's last temptation. ”
According to Qiu Liang's explanation, the reason why the Qiu Long family contacted Rose to assassinate Princess Hui'er was to force out the secret of Princess Hui'er.
But what I didn't expect was that Princess Hui'er would be rescued by Lu Fan and others, and they didn't get any valuable information.
"As for me...... I was blown away after throwing the crystal bomb at that time, but I didn't die. ”
"And where are you all these days?"
Lu Fan looked at Qiu Liang curiously.
"Recuperate in Hero Town. ”
As he spoke, Qiu Liang took off part of his shirt, revealing his shoulders with a huge scar on it.
"I was seriously wounded, and when I arrived in Hero Town, I learned that you had clashed with the local guards and were wanted, so I hid incognito, and only rushed here after the injuries were healed, but fortunately I caught up. ”
"Then why did you know that the Diao family would launch this rebellion?"
When Xiao Qian was asking, Ling was still staring at Qiu Liang, as if she wanted to see something from him.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know what's going on, I just arrived, and I saw Hui'er being held hostage by that person, so I attacked him while he was already in a frenzy. ”
Qiu Liang shrugged his shoulders and showed an innocent expression again.
Xiao Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Qiu Liang for a long time, but she didn't say anything more.
"Brother Qiu Liang, I'm really sorry for you. ”
Hui'er undoubtedly had him, but looking at the scar on Qiu Liang's shoulder, tears began to roll in her eyes again.
"I'm fine, it's more important than this, you're okay......"
Forget it, at least go back and ask the people of the Qiu family and the Long family.
Looking at the two of them, Lu Fan shook his head and looked in the direction of the square.
"Jealous?"
The sound of the bell suddenly sounded in Lu Fan's ears, although it was very light, it did make Lu Fan almost not jump.
"How is it possible?"
Although Lu Fan's voice was small, his body movements were not small, and Xiao Qian obviously noticed the conversation between the two, and her eyes swept over in an instant.
"What a close two people, in an instant, your days of work have been in vain~"
Suzu still didn't give up, with a mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth.
Hey, hey, who's going to be tempted by Hui'er's kind of princess.
Lu Fan looked at the bell who deliberately teased him, and suddenly showed a smile.
"How can it be for nothing, I saved a person who is very important to me. ”
Ling's face suddenly turned red, and the curvature of the corners of Lu Fan's mouth made her heart speed up a little.
"I trust you. ”
After saying that, she turned her head away and stopped looking at Lu Fan.
Blushing at a word, is this a high attack and low defense?
And Xiao Qian's eyes on the side became more and more weird, and she swept around the two of them, trying to find something.
"Oh no!"
At this moment, a person was running at a rapid speed.
"What happened?"
Seeing that it was a mercenary, Betin, who had been hanging up for a long time, hurriedly asked.
"On the square...... There's a weird arm! That arm has changed a bit, and now people don't dare to approach it!"
"Arms!"
Lu Fan and the three of them glanced at each other, knowing that it was the one that the ghost-faced man had fallen.
"I'll go check it out first!"
Ling knew that Lu Fan couldn't rush over right now, so he had to take the first step.
It's just that her arm was grabbed by Lu Fan.
"Protect yourself first. ”
Looking at Lu Fan's serious eyes, Suzu's face turned a little redder again.
"Got it, why didn't I find you so verbose before?"
With that, her figure chased in the direction of the square with Betin and the others.
At this moment, Princess Hui'er took out the necklace and wanted to put it back on her neck.
But halfway through, her hand stopped.
Because she noticed that the necklace seemed to be a little different.
I was thrown out by the old man before, and my hand was a little bruised, leaving some blood, and when I took it back, it seemed to be wiped on it, and now when I picked it up again, I found that the necklace was flashing.
"Strange ......"
Hui'er muttered to herself, she remembered that there had been cases where she had been injured and stained the necklace with her own blood, but there were no such anomalies back then.
"That old man's moves really hurt. ”
At this time, Lu Fan in front also wanted to speed up, but the pain in his stomach made it difficult for him to use his strength immediately.
"Sir, let's slow down, you're not the guardian of the Hippo Empire, nor are you the lord of the Pony City or anything, don't take care of your body. ”
Xiao Qian helped Lu Fan's body and shook her head helplessly.
Lu Fan was also a little depressed, if it weren't for the fact that all the experience points were consumed in order to save the bell, he wouldn't have been hit by that old man.
I'm still going to have to find a way to keep earning experience points......
The black-haired girl watched Lu Fan start muttering to herself, saying strange things that she couldn't understand, such as experience points, and couldn't help but want to remind Lu Fan that she had spoken out in her heart again.
"Poof. ”
However, at this moment, a heart-wrenching voice suddenly came from behind the two.
Lu Fan and Xiao Qian turned their heads sharply and found that Princess Hui'er's eyes had widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
And in her stomach, a long sword was piercing from back to front.
"Qiu Liang!"
Lu Fan was furious in his heart, and just wanted to rush over, but he almost fell because of his injuries.
"Sir!"
The black-haired girl hurriedly supported Lu Fan, and her other hand also pulled out a giant sword and aimed it at Qiu Liang, who was smiling.
"That woman is finally leaving, and with her, I really don't dare to let up at all......
Qiu Liang was holding a sword in one hand, and in the other hand, he was holding the necklace, which was already stained with Princess Hui'er's blood at this time.
"Hatred...... Big...... Elder brother...... Why...... Yes. ”
Princess Hui'er's body trembled uncontrollably, and her heart felt like it had been penetrated, and disappointment and doubt filled her mind.
