Chapter 273: Assassination Again
However, Princess Wen Ke and Wei Feiyue really wronged Wei Xiyue this time, and this was really not done by Wei Xiyue.
Where Wei Xiyue couldn't see, Leng Qi replied to Huo Lingxiao, "Lord, I have already done what you ordered, Princess Wen Ke and the others are now poisoned and have fallen to the ground." β
Huo Lingxiao nodded, and asked again, "You shouldn't have hit too hard, right?" β
Leng Qi shook his head and said, "No, I just added something to their food, Princess Wen Ke's guards should be going to save them soon, even if no one saves them, they will be fine themselves in almost two hours." β
Hearing Leng Qi say this, Huo Lingxiao nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, you did a good job." β
He asked Leng Qi to do this, but he just wanted to give Princess Wen a deeper warning to them, and by the way, make them uncomfortable too.
Princess Wen Ke's identity is still a problem, and they can't be too heavy-handed in the end.
And what Leng Qi said when he reported was indeed the truth, he also saw that Princess Wen Ke's guards were about to arrive before leaving.
But just as Huo Lingxiao left, something happened to Wei Xiyue again.
By the time Huo Lingxiao reacted, Wei Xiyue's position had already been replaced by a heavily armed man in black at this time.
Seeing this, Huo Lingxiao couldn't help but look around, but he didn't see Wei Xiyue's figure, he couldn't help but feel nervous, and looked up inadvertently, but happened to find Wei Xiyue hiding in a tree, so he breathed a sigh of relief, took out the dagger hidden on his body, and ran towards those black-clothed people, the dagger pointed directly at the head.
Huo Lingxiao really didn't expect that Princess Wen Ke would be like that, and she could actually send someone to assassinate Wei Xiyue, so she couldn't help frowning.
Sure enough, he let Leng Qi make his hand light.
Huo Lingxiao thought as he followed the moves of those men in black, and with the cooperation of Wei Xiyue, the men in black were quickly repelled by them.
"Xiyue, are you alright?" As soon as Huo Lingxiao finished dealing with the man in black, he rushed towards Wei Xiyue with a worried face.
Wei Xiyue's body is not all good, if it has just added a new injury or pulled an old wound, it will not be good.
Wei Xiyue shook her head, but she looked pensive, "I'm fine, I just think it's a little strange." β
Huo Lingxiao asked with some confusion, "What's strange?" As soon as he asked, he suddenly remembered something, and his brows furrowed again, "Do you mean those men in black?" β
Wei Xiyue nodded, "I feel a little strange, but I can't tell if there's anything wrong." β
Huo Lingxiao couldn't help but think about the tactics of those black-clothed people again, and did detect some clues, "It seems that something is indeed wrong, they are not the same as the methods of the secret guards sent by Princess Wen Ke before, and that feeling is completely different from those people before." β
Wei Xiyue nodded again and again as if she had been woken up, "Yes, that's it." Those people before gave me the feeling that they were more like royal guards, and their swordsmanship was very regular, and these people were completely out of the wild road when they came out, and they didn't play cards according to the routine at all, which was a lot more difficult than the previous secret guards, but their purpose didn't seem to be simple. β
Regarding Wei Xiyue's opinion, Huo Lingxiao naturally agreed, "Indeed, it seems that they are not just here for assassination, but more like a temptation, otherwise they would not have retreated so quickly." β
"Princess Wen Ke is different, she really wants me to die." Wei Xiyue added a sentence to Huo Lingxiao, but the strange thing was that she still had a shallow smile on her lips when she said this.
That kind of smile is a very ordinary smile, but at this moment, it seems that there is a mocking meaning for no reason.
Seeing Wei Xiyue like this, Huo Lingxiao's heart was also a little blocked, and he felt more and more that his hand on Princess Wen Ke was too light.
"So from that point of view, they're definitely not the same wave of people." Wei Xiyue finally gave them a definition.
Huo Lingxiao also thought so, "So we should hurry up and find a way to break through the misty forest in the shortest possible time, so that we can get out of the current situation and not be so passive." β
Wei Xiyue thought deeply, "In that case, let's plan and see how we can get through the misty forest as quickly as possible." β
As soon as he said this, the male protagonist picked up a handy branch from the ground, and began to plan with Wei Xiyue on the soft muddy ground with the branch as a pen and the mud floor as paper.
"I think, since we want to break in, then don't delay it too long, we have something to prepare in the past two days, and we can go straight to it when we are ready. There are a lot of beasts in the Misty Forest, I can use the incense with Leng Qi and them to lure the beasts away first, and then you can hurry up and break into ......" Huo Lingxiao said as he drew something with a branch.
Wei Xiyue watched and listened carefully from the side, nodding or adding a few words from time to time.
At this time, it was the afternoon, and the sunlight sprinkled on the bodies of the two people through the cracks in the leaves, forming circular points of light of different sizes, and the two of them were like a pair of real people under the shroud of light and shadow, even if Leng Qi, who had had a lot of opinions about Wei Xiyue, was reluctant to disturb them, and silently hid his figure.
But they didn't realize that there was an uninvited guest who had been watching all of this and had heard their plans clearly.
And when Huo Lingxiao and Wei Xiyue had almost discussed, this person also left in time.
At this time, Princess Wen Ke on the other side had already recovered from their food poisoning, but Princess Wen Ke was still very unhappy, sitting there alone and sulking, and these emotions were all dissipated when she saw the uninvited guest who had overheard Huo Lingxiao and Wei Xiyue's plan just now.
"How's it going?" Princess Wen Ke asked with some urgency.
The man told Princess Wen Ke everything he had heard, and Wei Feiyue also listened to it.
And after listening to it, the two of them were all full of joy on their faces.
"Princess, now that we have fully grasped Wei Xiyue's next itinerary, plus they are going to the Misty Forest, this is a great opportunity to start! If Wei Xiyue can really die in the misty forest, we only need to excuse herself and say that her life is not good and she was taken away by the beast, even Huo Lingxiao will not have a way to say anything. β
Wei Feiyue was so excited that she had even thought about what weapon she would use when killing Wei Xiyue, and what posture she would make Wei Xiyue fall in, and even arranged it clearly after Wei Xiyue's death.
Hearing Wei Feiyue say this, Princess Wen Ke naturally couldn't be unmoved, but she also knew that Wei Xiyue had always been with Huo Lingxiao, and if something happened to Huo Lingxiao, Princess Wen Ke would not be able to explain it at that time.
"However, the third brother has been with Wei Xiyue all the time, how are we going to do it? Or forget it? Princess Wen Ke hesitated.
"How can you forget it? Princess, don't you want to kill Wei Xiyue? It is impossible for the third prince to be with Wei Xiyue all the time, as long as we find a time for them to separate, won't we be able to kill Wei Xiyue? As soon as Wei Feiyue talked about this, her eyes lit up, which was quite scary.
When Princess Wen Ke saw Wei Feiyue's appearance, she couldn't help but swallow, "Okay." β
After a few days, Wei Xiyue and Huo Lingxiao also prepared the things to enter the Misty Forest, and without too much delay, they directly entered the Misty Forest according to the plan.
This time they crossed the Misty Forest to seek speed, the Misty Forest is the biggest threat to them is the beast, at this time, no one will come to the Misty Forest, so they didn't pay too much attention, but they didn't think about it, they miscalculated this time.
Wei Xiyue was still conspired against when she broke into the Misty Forest.
When Wei Xiyue was still mediating with the beast, a man in black stabbed Wei Xiyue in the vest with a sword from behind.
Although the stab was not deep, Wei Xiyue also dodged it in time, but in the end it was still broken, and there were beasts attacking Wei Xiyue, and Wei Xiyue quickly couldn't parry.
Huo Lingxiao rushed over as soon as he found out that Wei Xiyue was in trouble, but he couldn't catch up.
"Xiyue!" Huo Lingxiao shouted, and the attention of the man in black and Wei Xiyue suddenly turned to Huo Lingxiao.
Huo Lingxiao took the opportunity to get to Wei Xiyue's side, and the man in black reacted instantly before he attacked Huo Lingxiao again.
In order to prevent Wei Xiyue from getting hurt, Huo Lingxiao took all of this, but it was still to no avail. In the end, the two of them could only use the last of the thirty-six strategies - to go up.
But the road to escape was not smooth, Huo Lingxiao took Wei Xiyue and fled to a cave, but he didn't want to touch Qimen Dunjia, and the two of them both fell into the trap of illusion.
And the most terrifying thing about this illusion trap is that people will dream about what they fear the most and believe it to be true.
Wei Xiyue struggled to open her eyes, but what she saw was Wei Feiyue wearing a gorgeous costume and delicate makeup.
"Sister, you're awake, sister, I'm here to change the wine for you again, I can't wake up my sister just now, isn't it that the previous wine was too strong, so my sister was drunk?" Wei Feiyue smiled decently, as if she was really asking Wei Xiyue something very ordinary.
Wei Xiyue looked down, but found that she was the same handsless appearance in her previous life, she could only lean against the wall of the wine tank, and the new spirits were poured, and the nerves that had been numb began to ache faintly.
No, didn't you reborn, why did you come back?
What Wei Feiyue is still saying, Wei Xiyue doesn't care anymore, she just wants to know if her rebirth is a dream.
Huo Zeyu appeared in a dragon robe, and it was the same as before, a sword waved, strange, Wei Xiyue did not panic.
She knew it was a dream.
So the dream was shattered, but Wei Xiyue still couldn't break free from the illusion.
Huo Lingxiao on the other side also dreamed of what he feared the mostβhe dreamed that Wei Xiyue died in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
But Wei Xiyue in the dream was too weak and flawed, so that Huo Lingxiao could tell it at once, and his dream was also shattered.
