Chapter 280: Painful Separation
Seeing that the relationship between Chu Xingyue and Zhao Ling is gradually heating up, and they are about to return to their original warmth and sweetness again, some people like to jump out and stir up the situation.
And this time, to everyone's surprise, the people who jumped out to stir up the situation were not one person, but a group of people.
The incident happened on the night when Zhao Ling hugged Chu Xingyue and squeezed on the chaise longue to sleep, when everything was quiet, the chicks returned to their nests, and the stars were covered in the starry sky; The closed gates were quietly opened from the inside, and a convoy of iron horsemen entered from outside.
The men had apparently come prepared, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, so that even if they stepped on the ground, they would not make any sound.
These people came quietly, and after entering the city, they almost came straight to the Li Mansion.
And the Li Mansion also opened the front and back gates at the same time, secretly supporting this group of people of unknown origin and unknown identity.
When the Jingwei in the Li Mansion found out that the pair of people were approaching the Li Mansion, it was actually too late, it stands to reason that these Jingwei were carefully selected by Zhao Ling, and they can be regarded as warriors who have experienced the baptism of fire and blood, and it stands to reason that the vigilance should not be so bad.
However, no one expected that it was these Jingwei who went wrong.
At night, when they had dinner, almost all of them became sleepy and tired, even if they were struggling to support themselves, they were not in good spirits, and naturally they lost their previous vigilance.
Therefore, when this mysterious team of people and horses had already appeared in front of the Li Mansion, they were able to react; For a moment, the silent night was illuminated by torches piercing the night sky, and the sound of chaotic footsteps, hurried shouts, and the sound of killing had begun to wake up the night completely.
Chu Xingyue was woken up by a rapid knock on the door, she was sleeping heavily in Zhao Ling's arms, but she was suddenly awakened by this sound, and immediately shrank in fright, and her helpless little hands didn't know how to place them.
Zhao Ling called for people from outside to come in, and at the same time helped Chu Xingyue to sit up from the chaise longituna, hugged her tightly in his arms, grabbed her hand and comforted: "It's okay Yue'er, don't be afraid, there is this king here." ”
Hearing the voice that could reassure her, Chu Xingyue calmed down from her panic, she looked at Yunxiao, who hurriedly walked in from outside, with a dark face, and immediately realized that there should be a situation.
"Lord Wang, princess, Li Mansion has broken into a team of mysterious killers, and now they have broken in through the front and back gates, for the safety of the princess and princess, my subordinates will escort you away."
Chu Xingyue was surprised: "What? Someone dares to break into the Li Mansion? Besides, did you find out when someone broke in? ”
Yunxiao was embarrassed and said: "If you go back to the princess, it is indeed a dereliction of duty by your subordinates; Our people have been drugged in their meals, our brethren are now soft-handed, and the murderers are menacing, and we are fighting hard. ”
The Jingwei of the palace will actually be drugged?
The thread in Chu Xingyue's head seemed to be torn off by someone because of too much force, and when she heard a bang, she tensed all over, grabbed Zhao Ling's hand, and said, "Mole, we have a mole." ”
"This king thought of it, and the traitor should be someone who belongs to the Li Mansion; It's all to blame for the king's negligence for a while, thinking that the matter would be solved after the death of Li Yuan, it seems that the matter is far from being that simple, Li Yuan is dead, but there are other people from the Jiang family around him. ”
Chu Xingyue stomped her feet angrily, Zhao Ling said that it was his negligence, but she felt that she was even more stupid; She also didn't want to be clear, how could there not be a little bastard by the side of the big bastard?
The grass should have been eradicated in the first place, and it should not have been lived in the wolf's den with pity, let alone let the little cubs in the wolf's den be laissez-faire, which is the way of others.
Zhao Ling stood up and walked quickly to the hanger on the side, took off the cloak from it and draped it on Chu Xingyue's shoulder: "You follow Yunxiao and leave first, and this king will go to you later." ”
Chu Xingyue immediately understood Zhao Ling's intentions, hurriedly grabbed him, and said, "If you want to go together, I can't leave you." ”
"Yue'er, you are obedient, this king is a disaster relief messenger, now there is a problem in Jeju City, this king can't leave all this, if this king does this, he is a deserter, and he is a betrayal of the emperor."
Chu Xingyue ripped off the cloak on her shoulders and said with a firm attitude: "Okay, then if you don't leave, I won't leave either." ”
"Don't mess around."
Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue's attitude and was a little anxious, picked up the cloak from the ground and put it on her body again, "You are the wife of this king, this king has the responsibility to protect you, you are obedient, this king promised you that you will take care of yourself, you leave with Yunxiao first." ”
Yunxiao saw the intention of the prince, and also said: "Yes, princess, let's go first, wait for your subordinates to settle you, and then come back to help the prince, please rest assured, your subordinates will definitely protect the prince." ”
Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling with burning eyes: "You have the responsibility to protect me, but Zhao Ling, you have the responsibility to make me happy for the rest of my life; If something happens to you, I won't forgive you. ”
Zhao Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of Chu Xingyue's eyes, nodded and promised him: "Okay, this king will definitely not live up to Yue'er." ”
Zhao Ling personally lowered his shoes for Chu Xingyue and put them on, and then handed over his most beloved person to Yunxiao's hands, and explained solemnly: "Remember, at all costs, you must protect the safety of the princess." ”
Of course, Yunxiao knows how important the princess is in the prince's heart, even if he sacrifices himself, he will not let the princess lose a single hair.
But just when Yunxiao and Zhao Ling were about to walk out of the study at the same time, Chun Xing also hurriedly ran over, and while seeing her young lady breathing a sigh of relief, she hurriedly reported the situation she had just gotten: "Lord Wang, Miss, I heard that a large number of mobs have poured into Jeju City, and now these mobs have clashed with the soldiers in the city, and I heard that there are already several streets occupied by mobs; Miss, what should we do? Escape? ”
Chu Xingyue didn't expect the situation to turn out like this, so she quickly closed her eyes and opened the Heavenly Eye.
When she opened the eyes of heaven and saw the chaos in Jeju City, Rao couldn't help but gasp even after seeing all kinds of sudden scenes.
At this time, Jeju City seemed to be in the midst of war, with fires and sounds of fighting everywhere, and innocent people were dragged out of their houses by the mob and thrown to the ground, followed by people who wiped their necks before they could even say a pleading; The blood pierced countless eyes and frightened the hearts and souls of countless people.
As Chun-aung explains, several of Jeju's main streets were occupied by mobs, who set fires and killed people as if in a carnival ritual, frenzied and bloodthirsty slaughter of unarmed people.
Chu Xingyue had finally seen the riot she had heard from other people's mouths, but no matter how many times she heard it, it was not as shocking as what she had seen with her own eyes this time.
I thought that if everything was strangled in the cradle, their trip to Jeju would be thrilling, but they didn't expect that these people would come by surprise when they relaxed their vigilance.
Chu Xingyue's face was white, she grabbed Zhao Ling's hand tightly, and her voice trembled when she didn't realize it: "No, I saw it all, the situation has exceeded what we have endured, Zhao Ling, you are still injured, I can't leave you here alone, you have to go, let's go together." ”
Seeing that Chu Xingyue had changed his hexagram again at this time, Zhao Ling was really anxious.
didn't say much, directly called Yunxiao to bring a rope to tie Chu Xingyue up, and then handed her whole person into Yunxiao's arms, and apologized: "Yue'er, I'm sorry, it's not that this king won't treat you like this as a last resort, it's just that it's too dangerous to keep you here, if something happens to you, this king doesn't know what he will do; You go with the clouds, don't let this king have worries. ”
Chu Xingyue struggled in Yunxiao's arms, but the rope on her body was too tightly tied to her, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free.
In the end, when looking at the resoluteness in Zhao Ling's eyes, she could only scold with tears in her eyes: "Zhao Ling, you damn bastard, you dare to tie me with a rope, believe it or not, I will no longer pay attention to you in the future; Okay, if you want to die, then you go to die, when you die, the old lady will find a better than you, more handsome than you, more attractive than you man to remarry, when the time comes, the old lady will forget about you, and happily go to live my happy life, it doesn't matter if you become a lonely ghost or a wild ghost. ”
Zhao Ling also softened his heart when he saw Chu Xingyue crying, but he knew very well that for her good, he had to do it.
"Yunxiao, take the princess away, Chunxing, you can follow too."
Seeing that it didn't work to scold him, Chu Xingyue was really desperate.
She shouted at Zhao Ling at the top of her voice: "Zhao Ling! Zhao Ling! I know it's wrong, I won't scold you in the future, you let Yunxiao let me down, I beg you! Zhao Ling! ”
Listening to Chu Xingyue's cry, this man who didn't frown even if he was seriously injured on the battlefield had red eyes, he forced himself not to listen to Chu Xingyue's cry, and forced himself not to look back at her, until her voice became farther and farther away, he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of the beautiful woman who no longer had a beautiful woman.
"Someone!"
With Zhao Ling's shout, the elite guards guarding Zhao Ling's side immediately appeared in unison, kneeling respectfully on the ground and waiting for orders.
Zhao Ling took out the sword from the study, his eyes were cold, with a murderous aura, he looked in the direction of the flames, and ordered: "Follow this king to arrest and suppress the mob, and return Jeju City to a quiet and peaceful place." ”
……
Chu Xingyue was carried by Yunxiao all the way towards the side door and walked quickly, and halfway through, he met Yuan Feng and Hu Chong, who rushed to hear the news.
Seeing Chu Xingyue being tied up by five flowers, everyone was stunned, but they didn't wait for them to react.
Chu Xingyue dragged her crying voice and asked them for help: "Yuan Feng, Hu Chong, little orchid, can you go and help Zhao Ling?" He didn't want to die, he himself was obviously seriously injured, but he still had to rush out and fight the mob, he, he went on like this, something big would happen. ”
Listening to Chu Xingyue's cry, Yuan Feng and the others fell silent.
In the end, it was Yuan Feng who raised his head and looked at Chu Xingyue, and said to her: "Young master, your subordinates are your people, and you are the only one who wants to protect, and your subordinates will not care about the lives of others." ”
