Chapter 24: Let's Go Home (2nd Watch)
The leader will stab the sword out, Feng Xiuyun's eyes are about to split, but the distance is too far to catch up. Who would have thought that Diexi's face could not help but accumulate a murderous aura, and she deftly dodged sideways, and the dagger she held had already sunk into the leader's abdomen.
"I told you to stop!" Her eyes were blood-red, and she gasped for breath.
The people who were close slowly stopped their movements, as if they were shocked by the sudden cold air, and looked at this side one after another.
Diexi was still staring at the leader, pulled out the dagger and yelled at him in a cold tone: "You have no chance of winning, why don't you take someone away quickly!" ”
The leader clutched his abdomen in pain, and drops of blood fell to the ground, staining the snow beneath his feet. He has been in ambush for many days with his own people, and he has long been sleepy, and the form has been reversed after the fierce fight, and if he continues, he will only die in vain, how can he not know. It's just that it collects people's money**, and if the big crime of murdering the prince is investigated, it is also a dead word.
Diexi saw his hesitation, took a step forward and glared at him, and said righteously, "Don't you have a family?" Isn't there a young old? Have you considered them here? Is it worth it to send so many brothers to death for a few taels of silver? If you take someone away now, I can guarantee that King Rui will not pursue it, but if you insist on his life, step on my corpse first!" ”
Yes, she has no kung fu, but her consciousness is still there, even if she is not flexible enough, even if she has no strength, even if her posture is not in place, it is still possible to dodge a few of their nondescript three-legged cat attacks.
She is not afraid of death, but she will never let people die in front of her casually!
There is still a stalemate here, and there are already people on the other side who are ready to move, "Head, brothers are not afraid!" As he spoke, a few of them had already picked up their weapons and had the posture of continuing to work to the end.
Wuxu snorted coldly, and put on a posture, and the guards all paid attention to the surrounding form with a vigilant face when they saw this.
The slightly relaxed atmosphere became tense again, but Diexi was still staring firmly at the leader in front of him, and his blood was dripping from the dagger he was holding behind him, staining Diexi's little hands.
"Let's go!" The two faced each other, and the weaker side lost first, although the leader didn't understand what the purpose of the little girl in front of him was, he also seemed to vaguely feel Diexi's sincerity. While there is still a trace of combat power, it is the best policy to go home quickly to protect the family and escape.
The bandits vigilantly held their weapons and retreated into the woods step by step.
The battlefield that lost its flesh and breath left only an endless vastness, Feng Xiuyun took the dagger in Diexi's hand and blocked it in front of her, the shadow of the backlight hid his expression, leaving only a soft word of relief, "It's okay, let's go home." ”
Diexi sat in the carriage in a daze, her eyes glazed, Feng Xiuyun had already picked up the book and was still indifferent. The light guards and most of the guards escorted King Rui into the capital slowly, and Diexi thought that the rest of the people were looking for their surviving companions in the corpses, and the fear and severe pain would be a shadow that could not be erased for a lifetime.
Feng Xiuyun finally closed the book and sighed, "You also know that since you are the king of Jin, these people must not die well." If you let them go today, tomorrow the King of Jin will send them to heaven with their families, and this deal is not worth it. ”
"I know." Diexi's expression was still frozen, but her voice was indescribably calm, "But they don't have to die in front of us, and this blood debt is not counted on your head." ”
Feng Xiuyun was slightly stunned, she wanted to remind her not to come nonsense again, but she didn't expect her heart to be such a mirror, recalling the last words she said in a hurry, he hugged her into his arms with a gentle smile.
Xiaoxi still loves Brother Xiuyun.
It was twilight when he returned to the palace, Feng Xiuyun got out of the carriage and strode inside, and Diexi was helped out of the car by Jingqi slowly.
She saw that Diexi's face turned pale, and said with a crying tone of relief: "It's good to come back, the guard who took the lead just now said that I was scared to death if I was attacked on the way." She couldn't help but cry while helping Diexi walk in, "I thought you were dead again, so how could I escape from Miss Wan'er's Five Finger Mountain, woo woo woo." ”
Feng Xiuyun had already walked far away, listening to Jingqi's "sound like a bell", and couldn't help but be attracted to turn around.
"Jingqi." Diexi pursed her mouth weakly and sighed loudly, "What did you learn from Wan'er......"
Suddenly attracted by a ** gaze, Diexi turned his head slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth in front of Shangfeng Xiuyun.
Your Highness, we are back.
She also smiled coquettishly and met his gaze.
When they went back to their respective rooms, Jing Qi didn't know what to do, and after walking for a while, he suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had realized something, "You and Your Highness...... Could it be ......"
"Don't talk nonsense." Die Xijiao sneered, thinking of the frankness of that day, her cheeks flushed.
Jingqi shook his head with some pity, and his regret was overflowing, "It's a pity, it's a pity, but the coming day is long, and we don't fight for the day." What he got was a capital embarrassment on Diexi's face.
I went back to the room to freshen up, and the fatigue along the way was relieved, and the whole body was a lot more comfortable. She casually sat cross-legged under the window, drinking the tonic brought by Jingqi.
"My little master." There were only the two of them in the room, and Jingqi came closer mysteriously and said, "I worked hard when you weren't there, Wan'er was in charge of it tightly, but fortunately, I was loved by everyone." I inquired for you, there are two side concubines in this palace, one is Xia, and one is Liao. ”
Diexi looked at her with a smile, hehe, "Liao's I know, the bed warmer when King Rui was crowned king, if he hadn't had a son, how would he be promoted to a side concubine." ”
"You know how to do it." Jingqi pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, and let out a quirky "eh", "But do you know that her cooking skills are very good, and I heard that Her Highness appreciates it very much." ”
Diexi turned her head to look at her speechlessly, with a big word written on her face: Don't think about it.
Jingqi was still excitedly encouraging her, "You must know that men have stomachs and women's lives, and we can't lose." ”
Seeing her righteous words, Diexi was just about to pour cold water on the basin, when a few knocks sounded outside the door.
Jingqi immediately got up and went over, but the person who came was Wan'er, she didn't dare to slack off, and immediately brought the person in front of Diexi.
Wan'er saluted with several thoughtful blessings, and replied respectfully, "Princess Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Rui invites you to the study." ”
Diexi replied "Okay", but saw that she was still polite. Such a clever girl, Diexi glanced at Jingqi and told her to learn something, and then said to Wan'er: "Let's go." ”
In the study, Feng Xiuyun was still struggling to write, Diexi asked for peace, but he casually pointed to the chair on the side and asked Diexi to wait. Die-hee knew that he needed to present the envoy's briefing, so he didn't say much, just waited quietly.
The corners of Feng Xiuyun's mouth turned into an imperceptible smile, and he put down the pen and looked at her, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's all good, Your Highness is in the way." Diexi stood up and blessed his body, and was a little alienated from him.
Feng Xiuyun was a little disappointed in her heart, and she still looked at her with a pale face: "The king of Ming Japan needs to enter the palace to report, and you will go with you." There is a rumor in the palace that the Queen Mother is very sick, and I heard that you have come back and asked you to go over to serve the medicine, so let's rest earlier today. ”
"Sick?" Diexi frowned, no, wasn't it okay when he left.
