Chapter 5: Assassination on the Road
Before leaving, Xu reluctantly wanted to send Lin Qingge, but the prime minister asked her to recuperate in the room on the grounds of weakness.
At the city gate, Xiao Tingyi sat on a tall horse, wearing a dark robe, and beside him, Lin Qingge unexpectedly saw Xiao Chu.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about the situation of the victims, and personally asked his father and the emperor to go to the north to deal with the flood. Xiao Tingyi saw Lin Qingge's surprised expression, so he opened his mouth to explain.
Lin Qingge didn't say much, Le Ma followed Xiao Tingyi's side, left the city gate with the disaster relief team, and rushed to the north.
In the evening, the party stopped in a valley, pitched their tents, and traveled for a day, some of whom were sleepy and tired.
After dinner, Lin Qingge was completely sleepy, lying in the tent, thinking about the purpose of Xiao Chu's trip.
He was bent on getting the throne and walking with Xiao Tingyi, but he was afraid that he would not be happy.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingge got out of the tent and wanted to remind Xiao Tingyi to be careful.
A long sword came with a heavy murderous aura, reflecting the cold light in the moonlight, Lin Qingge reacted very quickly and dodged it, and quickly shouted for help.
"There are assassins!"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Qingge realized that there was more than one assassin, constantly falling from the valley overhead, dressed in black and masked, but they were all skilled in swordsmanship.
Xiao Tingyi rushed over, protected Lin Qingge and Xiao Chu behind him, and shouted coldly: "Hurry up!"
Seeing this, Xiao Chu pulled Lin Qingge to flee out of the valley, Lin Qingge knew that staying would drag Xiao Tingyi down, so he gritted his teeth and followed Xiao Chu out of the valley.
When the assassin saw Xiao Chu and Lin Qingge running away, several of them turned around and chased after them.
Although Lin Qingge knows how to use three-legged cat kung fu, if he wants to deal with several well-trained assassins at the same time, he is undoubtedly a mantis arm.
The chasing assassin chased after the two and kept firing crossbow arrows at them, and Xiao Chu and Lin Qingge fled in embarrassment while dodging the crossbow arrows.
Xiao Chu saw that the crossbow arrow in the hand of an assassin was aimed at him, and pulled Lin Qingge over, pushing her in the direction of the assassin.
Lin Qingge was pushed out unexpectedly, the two crossbow arrows instantly penetrated the flesh, and the blood on his shoulders and abdomen stained his dress red, seeing through Xiao Chu's true face, Lin Qingge felt a chill in his heart, how blind was he in his last life to be with him?
Lin Qingge ignored the pain in his body, grabbed the hand of one assassin, blocked the sword chopped down by another assassin, glanced sideways in the direction of Xiao Chu, dodged around the assassin's back, and kicked over.
The assassin instantly stepped forward, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight into Xiao Chu's back, and Xiao Chu fell to the ground and fainted with a scream.
Lin Qingge also lost the strength to struggle, and fell to the ground, at that moment, she thought that she was going to die on the road to disaster relief.
Slowly closed her eyes, but as if she saw Xiao Tingyi rushing towards her, her eyes were red, and the assassin who injured her was instantly split into pieces.
When Lin Qingge woke up again, Xiao Chugang sent away the person sent by the emperor to take him back to Kyoto, and bluntly said that he would be fine with Lin Qingge's care.
"Awake?" Xiao Tingyi asked, sitting on the edge of the bed, no emotion visible on his face.
"Fifth Highness, thank you for saving me again......" Lin Qingge said gratefully.
"Thank you for not needing, take care of your injuries, the prince will have your sister to take care of you, it will be fine, don't worry. Xiao Tingyi's words seemed to have a slight sour taste?
Lin Qingge thought for a moment, it seems that this Aunt Liu never forgets to plan for her son and daughter at any time.
In Xiao Chu's tent, Lin Yinyu put the medicine given to her by Aunt Liu in Xiao Chu's decoction, and when Xiao Chu's medicinal power attacked, Lin Yinyu was shocked, but she didn't mean to resist, but took the initiative to take off her dress.
"Qingge...... This prince will make you the crown princess!" Xiao Chu was full of Lin Qingge, although Lin Yinyu hated Lin Qingge in his heart, he still hid his emotions well.
The disaster relief tolerance could not be delayed, only one day of rest, Lin Qingge followed Xiao Tingyi and set off, every step of the horse would make Lin Qingge's wound more painful.
Lin Yinyu and Xiao Chu sat in the carriage together, and when they saw Lin Qingge riding alone, Chu Chu looked at Lin Qingge with a pitiful appearance: "Sister, my sister just heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured, and she came with me when she was too worried, sister, don't be angry with me......"
"How can I be angry? The beauty of a gentleman's adulthood, it just so happens that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also misses his sister so much, my sister won't bother you. Lin Qingge smiled indifferently and rode a horse to catch up with Xiao Tingyi.
Forcibly endured the pain of the wound and followed Xiao Tingyi, walking for nearly two hours, but Xiao Tingyi turned back to her on the road, frowned suddenly, and said loudly: "Pass the order to go down and repair it on the spot!"
Lin Qingge realized that her wound was cracked because of the bumps in the road, and the blood oozing out stained her clothes.
Xiao Tingyi couldn't help but pick her up from the horse, walked to a relatively flat tree, and put her down: "The wounds are all cracked, if this king doesn't see it, how long will you have to hold on? Don't you care about others while you care more about your own physical condition? Don't forget that you still have family." ”
"Fifth Highness, I'm fine...... I just know that His Highness cares about the people, and he doesn't dare to delay because of this injury. Although Lin Qingge's injuries looked serious, fortunately he didn't hurt the vital points, but the pain was real.
"Don't say so much, take care of the wound first. Xiao Tingyi sighed helplessly.
Lin Yinyu, who was not far away, saw Xiao Tingyi and Lin Qingge behaving very intimately from the small window of the carriage, and a cold smile passed over their faces.
Why can this woman get so many things, if no one saved her that time, she would have been out of this world a long time ago, what qualifications do she have to attract the attention of men, Lin Qingge must die, and the position of concubine can only be herself.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, if you talk about the injury, my sister is not seriously injured by His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness the Fifth asked everyone to stop because of his sister's injury. ”
Lin Yinyu deliberately looked in the direction of the small window and said, Xiao Chu immediately lifted the curtain, just in time to see Lin Qingge looking at Xiao Tingyi, with a smile in his eyebrows, and couldn't help clenching his fists.
Xiao Chu was resentful in his heart, no matter what he did, Lin Qingge would not give him a good look, and even rejected his proposal in public, now that Xiao Tingyi was close to Lin Qingge, it would threaten his throne in the future.
Since this is the case, Xiao Tingyi can't stay.
