Chapter 371: Chi Pengtian Visits
After taking the antidote, the rash on the county lord of Baocheng quickly healed, and the huge pain made her very tired, seeing that Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun were fine, she staggered back to her room to rest.
Qiao Mingyue didn't stop her. She believed that the county lord of Baocheng did not lie to her, in fact, she did not need to lie to her, at least she knew now that the county lord of Baocheng was not willing to die for the emperor.
"It seems that the emperor already knows about our affairs." Qi Jingyun said.
"We've prepared for the worst, haven't we? As long as he doesn't know about the treasure map, we're still in a good position. Qiao Mingyue said optimistically.
They guessed right, the emperor who was far away in the capital did already know about Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun being together, he should have thought of it, how could the two of them suddenly break up, how could Qiao Mingyue be taken away so easily, and how could Chi Dusk Palace suddenly catch fire. All of this was designed by Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun!
"How dare you lie to me! Qi Jingyun, Qiao Mingyue, you all deserve to die! The emperor clutched the letter in his hand hard, and suddenly overturned the bookcase in front of him, and Gonggong Li beside him was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out.
"Someone!" The Emperor took a deep breath and calmed his anger.
A young man dressed as a guard soon appeared before the emperor.
"What does Your Majesty command?" The man fell to his knees on one knee without squinting.
"Mo Ling, I want you to bring three thousand elite soldiers to encircle and suppress the Nanzhao envoy team and bring Qiao Mingyue back to me," he said, with a grim smile on his face, "Except for her, there will be no one left." ”
One doesn't stay? Mo Ling was shocked in his heart, Your Majesty is planning to get rid of King Jin as well! Although he felt that it was inappropriate, Mo Ling also knew that there were some things that he could not ask, and his mission was to obey absolutely.
"Subordinates obey."
"Your Majesty, this, the envoys of Nanzhao died in our Great Zhou, I'm afraid they won't give up, right?" Gonggong Li said cautiously.
The emperor snorted coldly, "What if you don't give up?" I've put up with those people for a long time, and the big deal is a war, am I still afraid that they won't succeed? I know how to study bugs all day long, and I don't think it's pickled! As soon as he remembered that the Nanzhao people admired Gu poison, the emperor couldn't help but be afraid and disgusted.
"Besides, do you think the Nanzhao Imperial Court is really as calm as it seems?" The emperor's voice was low, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his eyes were full of mockery.
Hearing him say this, Gonggong Li didn't say much, he had been with the emperor for so many years, and he also knew that there were some things that it was better not to know.
……
“…… That's it. Qi Jingyun's secret guard lowered his head and told the two of them about the emperor's plan.
"Got it, you go down first." Qi Jingyun said.
The Dark Guard bowed his head and did not linger any longer.
"Zhengxi Village, if nothing else, we will be where we will soon be." Qiao Mingyue said.
The men sent by the Emperor lay in ambush there.
Qi Jingyun sighed: "He's crazy." ”
Qiao Mingyue replied casually: "Yes, I don't know what he thinks, he always does something unbelievable." ”
Qi Jingyun smiled undeniably, "Zhengxi Village is the only way to go to Nanzhao, we have to find a way to avoid them as soon as possible." ”
"At this time, the people sent by the emperor should have already laid an ambush, even if we have to leave there before they arrive, it will be too late, but we have a lot of people, the target is too big, it is really not easy to attract their attention." Qiao Mingyue had a headache.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Qiao Mingyue made a silent movement, Qi Jingyun immediately quieted down, he opened his mouth, and asked silently, "What's wrong?" ”
Qiao Mingyue pointed to the door and signaled that there was someone outside the door.
The footsteps could no longer be heard, but Qiao Mingyue was very sure that what she had just heard was not an illusion, and she could feel that there was indeed someone outside the door.
Qi Jingyun blew out the candle and slowly walked towards the door with a dagger in his hand.
"Who's out there?" Qi Jingyun asked suddenly.
The people outside the door did not make a noise and did not leave.
Qi Jingyun didn't wait for his answer, he didn't know what he was going to do, and he didn't know what he was going to do.
As he hesitated, the door slowly opened from the outside.
Qi Jingyun took two steps back, Qiao Mingyue came to him, and the two of them looked out the door a little nervously.
The door finally opened, and two people came into view. A tall and burly, unable to see his face clearly in the dark, but Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun seemed to feel that his eyes were watching them like falcons. And the other "person", the two looked at it closely, but found that it was a little familiar. The two took a few steps closer, and by the moonlight, Qiao Mingyue could vaguely see the person's face, it was Deng Xiaoxian!
Qiao Mingyue's heart was shocked, and she looked up at Qi Jingyun. Qi Jingyun nodded, he also saw it.
Why is Deng Xiaoxian here? So who's the other one?
The man was silent, Qiao Mingyue and Qi Jingyun didn't speak, the two sides confronted each other like this, and after a while, the man suddenly chuckled, walked to the table by the moonlight, and lit the lamp.
Only then did the two of them see his face clearly. The man was tall and burly, his whole body was filled with a strong aura of slaughter, and his bronzed skin brought a little warmth under the light of the lamp, but this warmth disappeared without a trace in an instant when it touched the man's eyes.
"King Jin and Princess Jin are so bold that they dare to kill the envoys of Nanzhao!" The man spoke slowly, but the words he said surprised Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue.
"Who are you?" Qi Jingyun met his gaze.
As if he didn't expect him to be unflustered, the man hooked his lips and said, "Chi Pengtian." ”
General Nanzhao! Qi Jingyun and Qiao Mingyue were slightly surprised, how could he know that Deng Xiaoxian was dead?
Chi Pengtian was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, "The envoy of Nanzhao died in the Great Zhou for no apparent reason, do you think that my Emperor Nanzhao will give up?" ”
"Why are you still standing here? Huh? Who is this? The three of them looked at the door and saw the county lord of Baocheng looking at them with a surprised expression.
Qi Jingyun was slightly stunned, walked over and said with a smile: "It's nothing, a friend." As he spoke, a knife stunted her.
Although the county lord of Baocheng was tired, it was still difficult to sleep after returning to the room, the reason was that as soon as she closed her eyes, she seemed to be able to feel the rash spreading on her body, this feeling made her very frightened, so she wanted to ask Qiao Mingyue if there was any way, but she didn't expect to be stunned by Qi Jingyun before she could ask.
"Friends? His Royal Highness King Jin is really joking. Chi Pengtian looked at him for a long time.
Qi Jingyun handed over the county lord of Baocheng to Qiao Mingyue, as if he didn't hear the sarcasm in Chi Pengtian's words, and said with a smile: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, General Chi, this king remembers that the relationship between you and Deng Xiaoxian doesn't seem to be good!" ”
Chi Pengtian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's right, I didn't expect him to even tell you this." ”
"Since we're all friends, why don't we talk about cooperation?"
