There was a cold light around him.

Ruan Qingzhi's sharp knife could pierce Ling Yun's neck in a split second, but she herself might be stabbed into a sieve by his guards at the same time.

Of course, it is also possible for the guards to give up the attack and turn back to rescue Ling Yun, so that Ruan Qingzhi's sharp knife will most likely miss, but correspondingly, she will not be injured herself.

In the moment of life and death, Ruan Qingzhi imagined countless possibilities. But when the "next moment" came, she was so frightened that even her heartbeat stopped.

There was still an accident!

The sharp knife stabbed down smoothly and steadily as she wished, but there was no Ling Yun in front of her.

This means that not only will she miss this blow, but she will lose all support in mid-air, completely helpless to meet those cold and glistening long knives with her flesh and blood!

By the way, those long knives didn't mean to retreat. This is obviously not because the guards are disloyal, but because they cooperate tacitly, and they know from the beginning that Ling Yun has his own escape strategy and does not need to be defended.

Ruan Qingzhi only had time to scream in her heart, "It's not good", those sharp long knives were already close to her shoulders, her back, her waist, abdomen, and limbs.

The cold light pierced through the flesh and was cold to the bone, Ruan Qingzhi kicked a person's wrist with a roar, flipped himself over in mid-air, and swung the sharp knife forward lifelessly.

But, useless.

The sharp blades around him chased after him, and Ling Yun's laughter came from behind him: "Qingyang County Lord, why are you so trouble-"

After a loud bang, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't have time to think about it, only felt a sharp pain in his limbs and limbs at the same time, and his body finally couldn't support it, and he fell heavily.

But instead of falling to the ground, he fell into a cold-bosom?

"Night Cold ......" recognized the person, and Ruan Qingzhi's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Don't talk!" Ye Han roared angrily and spun around in place with her. At the same time, his right hand swung out, and two more black-clothed guards fell under his sword.

Ruan Qingzhi found out that there were four more soldiers in the warm pavilion. Ling Yun had been restrained, and there were still two black-clothed guards left, and they also fell a moment later.

It was only then that Ruan Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, tugging at the placket of Ye Han's clothes and complaining: "If you come a little later, you can only collect the body for me!" ”

"Shut up!" The night chill hissed.

Ruan Qingzhi was startled, and immediately felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, and then realized: "What's wrong? Am I badly hurt? Didn't you? ”

Ye Han looked away from her words, looked up at the soldier and shouted, "Where is the Imperial Doctor? Go and bring the Imperial Doctor! ”

This stance?!

Ruan Qingzhi was frightened: "Why are you so fierce? I don't think it's okay, I'm not going to die......"

"No, it's fine!" Ye Han held her and carefully placed her on the chair, and some hands hurriedly pressed a wound on her arm, and trembled: "It's okay! Won't die! It's all skin trauma! ”

"Hey," Ruan Qingzhi frowned, "It's all skin trauma, what are you shaking?" …… Hey, don't, don't cry, don't scare me! I wasn't hacked to death, but I was scared to death by you! ”

Ye Han turned his head away in a panic and wiped the corners of his eyes: "There are so many words when you are injured!" I know you can't die, shut up and rest! ”

"I don't!" Ruan Qingzhi struggled to get up, "I'm so dizzy, I'm afraid I'll close my mouth and fall asleep!" ”

Ye Han was frightened, and hurriedly turned back, hurriedly tearing her clothes to bandage her wounds.

Several soldiers next to him looked away in unison, feeling that they couldn't bear to look at them directly.

Fortunately, someone came over with the Imperial Doctor soon. Ye Han ruthlessly gave up his position, stood behind and watched the two imperial doctors trembling and trembling to medicate Ruan Qingzhi's wounds, his face becoming more and more ugly.

However, Ruan Qingzhi has always been very calm, watching the doctors busy, while asking them about their injuries.

The faces of the two imperial doctors were not good-looking, and they were busy for a long time before they were able to reply: "There are seven knife wounds, all of which are not light, especially the knife on the right side ......of the waist."

Ruan Qingzhi tilted his head and glanced at it, pouting: "No matter how powerful it is, it's still a skin injury, I think it's okay!" ”

The doctor was so angry that he almost threw the gauze: "You are amazing! You're a great doctor! We are not as good as you! You have the ability, you ask His Royal Highness King Li not to kill us! ”

Ye Han said coldly on the side: "The county lord is fine, you are naturally fine, otherwise it is useless for the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to intercede." ”

The imperial doctor was speechless for a moment, wrapped up the wound tremblingly, and said that he was going to prescribe a prescription to boil medicine, and he was about to leave in a hurry.

The cold voice of the night: "One goes to boil medicine, and the other guards here." No matter which side has an accident, you two don't want to live. ”

The two imperial doctors exchanged glances, and the person had to bow his head under the low eaves.

After determining that Ruan Qingzhi couldn't die for the time being, the air pressure in the warm pavilion was finally normal. A soldier had the audacity to report: "Your Highness, the black-clothed guards outside have been dealt with almost well, after counting the dead, a total of thirty-two people have been counted, and six people have been seriously injured and captured!" ”

Ling Yun, who was restrained in the corner, changed slightly: "You guys...... How many people did you bring in? ”

Ye Han looked at him and clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand: "Eight." If you're not satisfied, eighty, eight hundred, eight thousand, I'll be able to move it. ”

Ling Yun's face finally showed a look of horror: "Soldiers of the Northwest Army, that's a soldier of Southern Qi, not yours!" Ling Han, you use the soldiers of Nanqi to do private affairs, do you think your father can tolerate it? ”

Ye Han stepped forward slowly, the long sword in his hand against his neck: "What about you?" A pair of legs have deceived the people of the world for more than ten years, and he has controlled the finances of the three provinces to recruit troops and raise tens of thousands of private soldiers. ”

Ling Yun's face turned white in an instant. After comparing the before and after, Ruan Qingzhi realized that his previous panic was fake.

Of course, at this moment, it is already a real panic.

Hiring! Raise tens of thousands of private soldiers!

This is really a rebellion!

Ling Yun didn't ask Ye Han how he knew, and only after a moment of confusion did he sneer: "What, are you going to go to my father to denounce me and earn a credit?" ”

The night was cold and silent.

Not to mention just exposing Ling Yun's conspiracy, even if he went into battle to quell a rebellion, the emperor would not feel that he had any credit, but would only be more jealous of him.

Of course, Ling Yun knew Ye Han's situation. He gradually calmed down, raised his hand to push away the knife that the soldier was holding on his neck, and stood up: "Third brother, my father has never had you in his eyes, and of course I have never had me. There's no point in you and me killing each other, so why don't you cooperate? ”

Ruan Qingzhi's eyes widened: "You are really not a cripple!" Swindler! ”

Ling Yun smiled silently. Ye Leng smiled: "King Qing is indeed not a cripple. Not only is it not crippled, but it even has a very good martial arts, even if it is draped on the battlefield, it is enough to shine. ”

"The third brother is overrated," Ling Yun smiled, "So, the matter of cooperation?" ”

Ye Han squinted his eyes at him and let out a sneer: "Working with you? You and the princess who have shared the bed for more than ten years can poison it with your own hands, let alone others? I'm not stupid enough to fight a tiger! ”

"The third brother misunderstood His Highness. Taking poison is my own idea and has nothing to do with His Highness. A whisper came from outside the door, and it turned out to be the voice of Princess Qing.

Then came the soldier's cold and hard request: "Your Highness, Princess Qing is outside, do you want to let her in?" ”

Ye Han retreated to Ruan Qingzhi's side and said coldly, "Please!" ”

The door of the warm pavilion opened, and Princess Qing walked in alone, her face pale, and she staggered to Ruan Qingzhi and saluted: "I haven't thanked the county lord for saving his life." ”

"The princess is really polite," Ruan Qingzhi sneered, "Your way of expressing your gratitude is really different." ”

Princess Qing was not embarrassed, and smiled: "This is really a misunderstanding. Qingwangfu has no ill will towards the county lord, I didn't expect the county lord to be so seriously injured, and I'm also sorry. ”

Ruan Qingzhi originally felt that she had a terrible headache, but now she was so angry that she almost fainted.

Seeing this, Ye Han put the long sword in his hand against Princess Qing's neck again, gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you think you are amazing?" ”

"It's not." Princess Qing lowered her head and sighed, "I know what I did was wrong, but I have no ill will. I took poison and pretended to be sick to trick the county lord to come over, because I really wanted to keep her for His Highness. My poison doesn't need to be cured by the county lord, and I'm willing to die for it. ”

"What do you mean?" Ye Han felt that his train of thought was a little out of track.

Princess Qing sat down and sighed: "My Royal Highness is majestic and strategic, not inferior to any brother, just because his biological mother was disliked by the emperor, but he took the position of the eldest son and hindered the eyes of many people, so he had to pretend to be sick to avoid trouble, and this hiding is thirteen years...... Third brother, I won't tell you, my Royal Highness wants that position, and he can be qualified for that position! This dynasty is a prince, there is a grandson and no grandson, and that position should have been his! ”

The long sword in Ye Han's hand was handed forward a few more points, still against her neck: "If you want to fight for that position, just fight, what is the reason for counting this king and Qingzhi in?" ”

Princess Qing's expression was flat, and she looked at death as home: "Third brother, I have never calculated you." It's just that the county lord of Qingyang is a phoenix, and only those who want to be the son of heaven are worthy of her. ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't care about the injuries on his body, and struggled to sit up: "What do you mean?" You are plotting against me for your man, do you want me to marry him? ”

"Yes." Princess Qing calmly met her gaze, "As long as you marry, Princess Qing's position is naturally yours, and the position in the future is also yours." If you can tolerate it, I can be an invisible concubine in the mansion; If you can't bear it, I will die at your hands without complaint. As long as it is helpful to His Highness's future, I am willing to do it. ”

Ruan Qingzhi felt a nausea in his chest, and hurriedly leaned on the table and pressed his chest.

Ye Han immediately put away his sword and turned around to support her, stroking her back while coaxing: "Don't worry, don't worry, now this pair of beasts are in our hands, you can do what you say, you can kill them and feed the pigs!" ”

"Third brother!" Princess Qing looked stunned, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

The next moment, he saw Ruan Qingzhi raise his head, gritted his teeth and said, "What did the pig do wrong again?" Why let pigs eat such disgusting things! ”

Princess Qing couldn't help it, and walked over quickly: "County Lord, what do you mean by this?" I thought we weren't enemies, if not friends......"

"Of course," Ruan Qingzhi gritted his teeth, "how could I be friends or enemies with a fly?" Princess Qing, you are amazing, I have lived for so many years, and you are actually the first person to successfully disgust me! ”

Princess Qing staggered back two steps, her face hurt.

Ling Yun stood on the side, and did not step forward to support and comfort, his eyes were still fixed on Ruan Qingzhi: "So, the county lord is unwilling to cooperate?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi leaned on Ye Han's arms, feeling more and more that the injuries on his body hurt badly, and the anger in his chest rushed up one after another, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and scolded: "His Royal Highness King Qing is wrong!" It's not that I don't want to cooperate, but I don't want to work with two flies! You can smell the stench on your body from two miles away, how can you have the face to mention 'cooperation' to others? ”

"Why should the county lord speak disrespectfully!" Princess Qing wiped away her tears aggrievedly, "This was originally a happy thing, and it was only good for you, for Your Highness, and even for the third brother!" Even if you don't understand, you won't ......"

Before she finished speaking, Ruan Qingzhi was so angry that she slapped the table: "Let me ask you again: You took poison and tricked me into treating you, intending to leave me to spoil your man, is this really your idea?" ”

Princess Qing was angry: "It's my idea, but how can this matter be called 'waste'?" This is clearly a matter of hello, me, and everyone! ”

"That's good." Ruan Qingzhi gritted his teeth, "It's easy for you to admit it, I'm just afraid that I have wronged you!" ”

"What does the county lord mean by that?" Princess Qing looked at her face and was a little apprehensive.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't want to answer her words anymore, leaning on Ye Han's shoulder and looking at Ling Yun.

The latter said calmly: "Xiao Wang still hopes that the county lord will think about it again." This matter is good for you. ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked away, reached out and tugged at Ye Han's sleeve: "When are we going home?" I'm sick of this hellish place! ”

"Wait, it's almost there." Ye Han sat down next to her, "If you feel tired, just lie down and pilllow my legs." ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head and followed his gaze to the two closed doors.

Ling Yun's face suddenly changed: "What do you mean?" What the hell are you doing out there? ”

Ye Han did not answer.

Ling Yun was suddenly irritable and immediately about to rush over, but was held down by the two soldiers, and then simply tied up with a rope and threw it into the corner.

Princess Qing also received the same treatment.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at the frightened appearance of the couple struggling in the corner, and finally felt a little happier in his heart.

After that, the imperial doctor sent the decoction, Ruan Qingzhi drank it, and heard Ye Han's deep voice order: "You immediately go back to the palace to report to your father, and say that Princess Qing was seriously ill and unfortunately passed away, and King Qing and his wife committed suicide with deep affection, and went to the underworld with the princess to be a ghost mandarin duck." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Ruan Qingzhi was shocked, and of course the imperial doctor was even more frightened and trembled, and he didn't dare to take his life no matter what.

Outside the door, two soldiers came in and threw a few things on the ground, and the two imperial doctors immediately weakened their legs in fright, and kowtowed as if they were keeping up with clockwork.

Ruan Qingzhi struggled to look at what had been lost on the ground: a small silver lock, a purse, and a letter that read "Doctor Wang's own enlightenment".

Needless to say, this is the weakness or handle of the two imperial doctors.

With these things in front of them, it is okay to make them rebel, let alone just tell a few lies.

The soldiers respectfully sent the two imperial doctors out, and the pavilion was quiet again. King Qing and his wife turned pale, huddled in the corner, shaking their heads and whining.

Ruan Qingzhi's face was very ugly, Ye Han thought it was because of the pain in her injury, and tried every possible way to comfort her, but she never got the point.

After waiting for another half an hour, another soldier finally came to report, saying that the Qingwang Mansion had been carefully searched, all the suspicious people had been taken, and several little masters had also been placed under house arrest in the garden, and there were no mistakes or omissions.

Ling Yun bit the rag stuffed in his mouth and roared angrily: "I have no grievances with you, you are so ruthless!" Ling Han, you can't die well! ”

Ye Han hugged Ruan Qingzhi tightly, with an indifferent expression: "Big brother doesn't have a good memory, right?" The existing hatred of wife-snatching is in front of you, what do you say 'no injustice and no hatred'? ”

"You, just for a woman, want to kill me completely?" Ling Yun's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

Ye Han hugged Ruan Qingzhi and said lightly: "My woman, of course you can feel that it is not important, but I regard it as a treasure." You hurt her, do you still think this thing can be good? ”

Ling Yun leaned against the corner of the wall for a long time, and suddenly sneered: "'Treat it as a treasure'? Don't say it so nicely! It's just a woman, and you don't so much regard her as a treasure as you like her phoenix life - you're thinking about that position, aren't you? ”

Ye Han didn't answer, Ling Yun turned to Ruan Qingzhi again: "Lord Qingyang, you have some prejudices against me because of the previous meal, and I have nothing to say. But, do you think the third child is any different from me? His only advantage is that he did it earlier than I did! ”

"You're not right." Ruan Qingzhi looked at him seriously, "Compared with you, King Li's biggest advantage is that he is a person, and you are a fly. ”

The hurdle of "flies" cannot be overcome. Ling Yun was so angry that he almost died.

Ye Han didn't plan to waste any more time. The soldiers opened the door, and he walked out with Ruan Qingzhi in his arms, and at the same time ordered: "Please invite King Qing and the princess to the Golden Chestnut Garden for a few days." ”

Without saying a word, the soldiers gagged Ling Yun's mouth again, and escorted him and his wife out of the warm pavilion.

At this time, the lights in the main courtyards of King Qing's Mansion were still bright, but there was no one around, like an empty city.

Ruan Qingzhi was a little surprised, and asked in a low voice, "What about the people of King Qing's Mansion?" ”

Ye Han carefully tucked her hood to block the cold wind, and said gently: "The two masters are dead, and of course the minions are soft and fled." ”

Ruan Qingzhi knew that this was not the truth, but a statement that Ye Han was preparing to use to cover up the truth.

She didn't ask any more questions, just let go of the hand on Ye Han's shoulder, and shivered.

After leaving King Qing's Mansion, the carriage went straight to Xiangfu. And King Qing and his wife were escorted by the soldiers, and they didn't know where they were going.

Along the way, soldiers kept coming to report the news, some of which Ruan Qingzhi could understand, and some of them could not. Finally, I couldn't help it, and asked again: "How many things did you arrange outside this night?" ”

Ye Han hugged her to change her comfortable posture, and said in a deep voice: "Temporary planning may not be comprehensive, and you can only adjust your countermeasures at any time." Fortunately, most of what King Qing does on weekdays is sneaky, and now we can do it secretly when we move him, and we can't alarm too many people. ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked up at him: "How far are you going to move him?" ”

"Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, of course." Ye Han said without hesitation.

Ruan Qingzhi shuddered again, and the sentence "It's not necessary" rolled in his throat and didn't say it.

Ye Han faintly guessed her thoughts, grabbed her hand and hurriedly explained: "It's not that I'm ruthless. Qingzhi, he and his wife look harmless, but secretly they are the most vicious. Once they are given a chance to speak, we may be the ones who will be the ones who will be the ones who will be stumped in the end, and I can't leave that kind of trouble! ”

"I know." Ruan Qingzhi said mumumu, "His hole cards are known to us, so this battle has been a life-and-death fight from the beginning, either they die, or we die." ”

Ye Han nodded and said in a deep voice: "They didn't plan to leave a way back from the beginning. The second brother was tricked by them into coming to see me, and by the way, he also brought me a small gift, which is highly poisonous. ”

Ruan Qingzhi sat up with a sigh, and the wounds all over her body were torn, and she almost fainted on the spot in pain.

Ye Han hurriedly held her down, anxious and angry: "What are you messing with?" Don't know if it hurts? ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't answer, grabbed his sleeve and asked anxiously, "What poison?" How did you find out? Has it been cleaned up? ”

Ye Han patted her on the back and said quickly, "Don't worry, it's all taken care of." Since I was a child, I have been calculated by others, and I have also dabbled in all kinds of strange poisons, and I happened to identify them, and I was dealt with as soon as possible. ”

Ruan Qingzhi pinched his face uncomfortably and examined it carefully, before he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "So, the second prince has no ill will towards you?" ”

"Nope." Ye Han said, "The second brother treats me not kindly, but he is upright and almost pedantic. I'm going to have to make some effort to stop him from telling my father the truth. ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while and nodded: "It's to stop him, and it's not good for anyone to tell the truth." However, can you really handle the affairs of such a large palace? How did King Qing's two children settle down? You can't really kill ......."

"Why can't you really kill?" Ye Han asked rhetorically.

Ruan Qingzhi was speechless, and said for a long time: "If you can really kill, why didn't you do it just now?" ”

Ye Han gritted his teeth: "I haven't figured out how to let them die just now." But in any case, the imperial doctor has already reported their death to the palace, and there must be two people in the Qingwang Mansion to fill the coffin. ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while and asked, "Can only one die and let Princess Qing live?" ”

Ye Han frowned: "Are you soft-hearted? ”

"It's not." Ruan Qingzhi gritted her teeth, "Didn't she say that it would be the same if I married you or married King Qing?" I want her to taste 'the same'. ”

"What do you mean?!" Ye Han suddenly felt a little frightened.

Ruan Qingzhi patted the back of his hand soothingly: "Don't worry, it's not for you to marry her." I mean, since she dares to calculate my marriage and force a crooked man to give me the face to say 'the same', then I should let her taste this 'same'. ”

Ye Han thought about it and understood: "I will let her live well and arrange a marriage for her as soon as possible, so that she can live peacefully and live in peace." ”

"Find an ugly one." Nguyen Thanh Chi added.

Ye Han smiled: "Okay, find her an ugly one." ”

Ruan Qingzhi flattened her mouth, still feeling aggrieved: "Why did she calculate me!" I didn't provoke anyone, and I suffered this crime in vain...... Did the two have a brain problem? ”

"It's just a matter of thinking about power." Ye Han said indifferently, "I have a disability, I guess I have been bullied a lot in Shangjing over the years." Now that I have just come back, you are showing your edge again, thinking that the two of us are easy to bully. ”

At this time, the carriage had stopped outside the Prime Minister's Gate. Ruan Qingzhi was hugged by Ye Han and got out of the car, still feeling bad in his heart, and said gloomily: "I really don't like it now." They all wanted to bully me, but they were not good at what they could, and in the end, they all came to the door and were bullied by me...... I feel like I'm going to be a bad person. ”

Ye Han carried her up the steps, looked up at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and sneered: "Don't worry, someone will bully us again." ”
