Qin Yue, who was lying down and was shot, had already arrived at the border of Dadu at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Turning over the Xiling Mountain in front of you, it is the boundary of the Western Underworld.

They decided to spend the night in an inn in Weizhou, and prepared to climb the mountain early the next morning, so that they could reach the top of Xiling Mountain before sunset.

Qin Yue remembered that there was a nunnery on the top of Xiling Mountain. They could spend the night in the nunnery and then descend the mountain the next morning. After descending the mountain, the road is very smooth, and it only takes two days to reach Pingcheng, the capital of the Western Underworld.

But how quickly can plans change?

Not to mention that they have long been targeted by people with intentions, so they didn't rest peacefully this night.

In the middle of the night, he was attacked again by unknown persons.

To Qin Yue's shock, the person who attacked them this time actually used a military crossbow. Duan Chen and June took her and tried to rush out several times, but they were all shot back by the other party's crossbow arrows.

June was shot an arrow in her arm to protect her.

Qin Ci, Qin Yun and Qin Yu desperately blocked in front of Qin Yue, undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg, and soon they were all hit by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.

The inn was as quiet as death, and I don't know if the guests who stayed there were pretending to be dead or if they were really dead.

It stands to reason that such a big commotion must have alarmed the government a long time ago, but no one from the government came. Yes, the enemy even used a crossbow, it was obvious that it was the people of the government, how could they come to save themselves again?

The Western Underworld has always been friendly with the Dadu Dynasty, and its own troops are weak and the country is small, so the small city on this side of Weizhou did not set up heavy troops, and only symbolically sent 10,000 soldiers to maintain local order.

It has also been peaceful all these years.

But at this moment, Qin Yue could feel that this consistent peace seemed to be about to be broken.

She suddenly realized that she had misjudged something.

can invite the top master to assassinate them, and can deploy a crossbow at will, how can it be the fourth cousin who is raised in the deep boudoir, even if she is reborn, she does not have the ability.

Who else really has this ability and has an enmity with her, except for Xiao Qian, the commander of the Dragon Praetorian Guard?

Qin Yue still remembers that after the emperor took Weizhou, he handed over the governance of Weizhou to Xiao Qian. With Xiao Qian's scheming, how could he be uneasy about interfering in his own hands?

It looks like he's caught in the net.

Qin Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly.

When the last Duan Chen, who blocked the crossbow for her, also fell, someone finally appeared in the darkness and walked towards her step by step.

The sound of "knock knock" footsteps was very clear in such a night.

He walked to a place ten steps away from Qin Yue and stood still, looked at her for a while before smiling suspiciously: "What kind of powerful person with three heads and six arms did you think it was? It turned out to be such a stinky yellow-haired girl!"

His voice sounded unusually familiar to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue really didn't want to accept this fact, but she had to admit that the man who stood in front of her and commanded his subordinates to kill her just now turned out to be a comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side together.

Back then, she was still Shen Jin, who pretended to be a son in purple, and Weizhou was still under the control of the two Empress Dowagers at that time, and was personally guarded by Zhang Jinde, the father of the Empress Dowager Zhang.

In order to successfully take Weizhou, they spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy off Zhou Qiao, the most relied on confidant by Zhang Jinde's side.

is only able to buy Zhou Qiao smoothly, thanks to the credit of the person in front of him.

Zheng Chi was also working in front of Zhang Jinde at that time, but he had already given up the secret and turned to the light, and secretly found Shen Jin, the son in purple, to express his attitude, and was willing to help them get Zhou Qiao in order to show his sincerity.

Sure enough, under Zheng Chi's combination of soft and hard, Zhou Qiao defected, and finally won Weizhou.

At that time, the emperor was in a hurry to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation, so he asked Xiao Qian to stay in Weizhou to rectify well.

Presumably at that time, Zheng Chi took refuge in Xiao Qian.

It turns out that time has passed, and it is really a matter of time!

Qin Yue sneered, looked at Zheng Chi, and said slowly: "Since Your Excellency is from the official mansion, I don't know why you want to kill me, a weak woman? Your Excellency should know that my identity and origin are not simple, if you kill me, the consequences may be more serious than you imagined!"

"Yo! this is to intimidate me!" Zheng Chi held the knife in his hand, his lips were blowing the black scarf on his face one by one, and his tone was still so casual and arrogant, "Tell you, little girl, General Ben is not scared...... I don't want to embarrass you as a little girl, but there is an order from above, so I have to obey!"

He regarded Qin Yue as something in his pocket, so he did not shy away from speaking.

His words once again confirmed Qin Yue's speculation.

Yes, Xiao Qian must have known that she was going to the Western Underworld to borrow troops in order to relieve the siege of Tongzhou. For his ulterior purposes, he naturally didn't want the war in Tongzhou to end so quickly, so he sent people to chase and intercept him along the way.

It's better to be able to kill her, even if you can't, seriously injuring her companions is equivalent to breaking her wings and blocking her journey.

After thinking about this, Qin Yue's heart was not so flustered, she sorted out her thoughts a little, and said lightly: "Since it is an order from above, I, Qin Yue, have nothing to say." But I have to warn you—"

Having said this, Qin Yue deliberately paused.

Zheng Chi raised her eyes curiously as she expected, "What do you want to remind me?"

"Twelve years ago, in the battle of Weizhou to seize the city, Your Excellency understood the righteousness, resolutely abandoned your master Zhang Jinde, and persuaded his most relied on confidant Zhou Qiao to surrender, so as to gain the trust of the current emperor and entrust you to be the assassin of Weizhou......"

"Is your so-called 'above' ...... Does it mean that the emperor's decree has not been fulfilled?"

Zheng Chiwan didn't expect that this little girl who was cornered by him would actually recognize his identity, he was shocked, angry and a little scared, his body couldn't help but stagger, and he couldn't help but pull out the long knife from the hilt, and the eyes that were exposed were full of killing intent.

"You...... You...... How do you know?"

"Your Excellency, have you forgotten, I said, my identity is not simple, you might as well ask the person above you, who am I?"

Qin Yue was as calm as usual, and even a light smile appeared on his face.

I don't know when, Duan Chen and June, who fell to the ground with a crossbow behind them, had already stood up, holding their injured bodies to protect her left and right.

The shock in Duan Chen's heart was even more indescribable, he didn't expect Yue'er to even know the identity of this guy.

He was not present at the Battle of Weizhou that year, and only listened to Jin'er talk about it afterwards, and still remembered that Jin'er was full of praise for this person at that time, saying that he understood the righteousness, not only did he abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, but also persuaded the other party's general, he was a rare talent, and he never wanted to see this person in such a scene.

But how did Yue'er know about Weizhou back then?

Maybe the emperor even told her about this?

Duan Chen was suspicious in his heart, but he also understood that this was not the time to delve into this, so he also cooperated with Qin Yue's words and said, "Since you chose to be loyal to the emperor back then, why do you have to disobey the emperor's holy decree at this time?"

"Your Excellency, don't you know that Miss Qin Wu is the emperor's own Chunjun Lord, and her status in the eyes of the emperor is comparable to that of a princess.
