Chapter 10: The Second Prince of Jingguo
Just after passing the two passes, the carriage traveled to a forest and was attacked by dozens of black-clothed people, more than half of the five hundred followers were killed and wounded, the prince Xuan Huaiyu was injured in order to save Su Moyan, Mu Qingyun used the flute to urge the mana in Su Moyan's body, and with the blessing of the staff of light, the mana was like a flood that broke the embankment.
Su Moyan spit out a mouthful of blood, he has been unconscious, Xuan Huaiyu was injured, ordered everyone to rest in place, and the personal guard Ling Yu checked the bodies of several people in black and came to report to him:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, his subordinates found that the men in black all had a red tattoo on their backs, like some kind of totem, shaped like a bull's head and like a deer's head, they acted without leaving a trace, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, and their subordinates guessed that it should be a well-trained killer organization."
Xuan Huaiyu walked to the corpse of a man in black, Ling Yu ripped off the mask of the man in black, and turned over the corpse, revealing the red tattoo on his back.
"It's the head of the deer, these black-clothed people are all good at stealth, and they can send dozens of stealth masters with such high martial arts skills at the same time, and their purpose is Su Moyan, as if they already know the purpose of our trip, I'm afraid it's not just a killer organization."
Bai Jinse wiped the blood from the corners of Su Moyan's mouth on the side, and stopped the bleeding for her, only to see her eyebrows frowning, there was no trace of blood on her pale little face, the halo of the golden lotus on her forehead was dissipating, and her breath was getting weaker and weaker.
"Brother Prince, Miss Su doesn't seem to be able to do it anymore."
Bai Jinse held Su Moyan's wrist, feeling that his pulse was getting weaker and weaker, like a butterfly that had just experienced a storm, fanning its faint wings, and the transparent wings were covered with countless small wounds that could not be seen clearly, and finally he couldn't support it anymore and fell into the muddy rain.
Xuan Huaiyu took Su Morou and rode on the white horse, and galloped all the way to the market near Jingmen Pass to find a medicine doctor.
"Su Moyan, this prince orders you not to die!" Xuan Huaiyu's words were anxious, and he rode his horse and whistled past. She still closed her eyes tightly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her pale little face was almost transparent, Xuan Huaiyu supported her with one arm, preventing her from falling off the horse, and galloped with the other hand.
The wounds on Xuan Huaiyu's arms were torn open, and the blood stained the strips of cloth that bandaged the wounds.
"Brother Yu, come down quickly, you still have injuries on your body!" White Frost Dye rode behind Xuan Huaiyu.
Mu Qingyun, dressed in white, came to a hidden stream in the forest, and a masked man in black knelt in front of him, "Second prince, this assassination mission failed, and my subordinates came to confess their guilt." ”
"And now you don't even listen to my orders?"
The long and narrow phoenix eyes were like a cold wind blowing over the man in black in front of him, and the man in black couldn't help but shiver, and replied cautiously: "Yesterday, my subordinates received a secret order from the prince and asked my subordinates to lead dozens of hidden guards to assassinate Miss Su here. ”
"Brother Huang's order?" Mu Qingyun's white fingers stroked the white and flawless jade flute in his hand, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that Brother Huang's move has another deep meaning, I'm afraid he didn't just want to kill Su Moyan." ”
Mu Qingyun's hand holding the jade flute suddenly tightened, and layers of dense sweat oozed from the forehead of the man in black.
"Give you two choices, one is to go back to Jingguo, and assist the imperial brother well, I will not kill the same clan, and I will definitely spare your life, but you must know that the imperial brother is very suspicious, I am afraid that he will not tolerate me, and you will no longer be my subordinate when you go to Jingguo."
Mu Qingyunfeng's eyes drooped slightly, and his expression was indifferent, "This second choice, if you are not willing to return to Jingguo, you must not disobey your orders in the future." ”
"The subordinates swore to follow the second prince to the death. If there was no second prince, the younger brother of his subordinates would have died long ago, and the second prince was kind to his subordinates, and his subordinates were willing to go to the soup and fire, and they did not hesitate. ”
"Remember your words." In an instant, Mu Qingyun had disappeared in front of the man in black. The man in black still knelt in place, and it took a long time to get up and hide his trace.
Obviously, the second prince is well-known for his gentleness and elegance, he never beats and scolds his subordinates, and treats his subordinates like brothers in robes, but even the second prince who is as gentle as jade, although he has a smile on his face, it makes people feel cold, and people have to obey his orders.
Although the eldest prince has a noble status and is deeply loved by King Jing, he is arrogant and domineering, scolding and scolding his subordinates, and many of his subordinates are not satisfied, but they are afraid of his noble status as the prince of Jingguo.
Mu Qingyun's real name is Jing Qingyun, is the second prince of Jingguo, and is also an unfavored prince, Jingguo's harem is three thousand, and the concubines gave birth to more than ten princes for him before and after, only the eldest prince Jing Qingxiao is the queen's concubine, and has been established as a prince since he was a child, Jing Qingyun has been weak since he was a child, and is a famous sick seedling, but the eldest prince Jing Qingxiao among his many brothers, he dislikes his second brother Jing Qingyun the most, and finally when he was fourteen years old, he casually found a reason to let his father send this sick second brother to Xuanguo.
Jingguo and Xuanguo are decades of old rivals, more than ten years ago several battles, both sides did not get half of the benefits, ten years ago in the battle against Xuanguo, Jingguo almost moved Xuanguo to the ground, but Jingguo also lost hundreds of thousands of troops, and finally evacuated in a panic, hindering them from capturing Xuanguo It was the five generals who returned to the retreat, Jing Qingyun lurked in Xuanguo's main purpose is to prevent the prince Xuan Huaiyu from finding these five generals.
Xuan Huaiyu took Su Morou to a pharmacy in the bazaar called Rong Yaotang, and the pharmacist diagnosed Su Morou's pulse, and her pulse seemed to be vague, if there was nothing, but there was no obvious wound on her body except for the abrasion on her right arm, but why the pulse was so weak, the pharmacist could not diagnose it.
"Strange." The medicine doctor stroked her snow-white beard, "This girl's pulse seems to be strange. ”
"What's strange, sir?" Bai Jinse asked anxiously.
"The girl's pulse is weak, but it is not caused by serious injuries, and the old man really can't find out what the reason is." The pharmacist shook his head. "Maybe you can wait for her to wake up on her own, maybe some people are born with this pulse."
"Believe it or not, I demolished your Rong Yao Hall, quack, nonsense!" Bai Jinse grabbed the collar of the medicine doctor's shirt and swung his fist into the air.
"Ahem... cough..."Xuan Huaiyu motioned for her to let go of the medicine doctor, and then pointed to Mo Moyan who was lying on the bed, a halo of golden lotus bloomed on her forehead, and her pale little face gradually returned to redness.
Since she released the majestic mana in her body, she went back to the dream on the altar, she held the staff of streamers, standing in the heart of the golden lotus, the mana wandered in the blood around her, as if she had an epiphany after being instructed by a master overnight.
Su Moyan suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Bai Jinse's sad face, and asked cautiously, "What's wrong with you?" Seeing a white-bearded and white-haired doctor again, he looked at Xuan Huaiyu beside him: "What's wrong with me?" ”
Bai Jinse cried with joy when he saw that she finally woke up, and immediately hugged her, "Great! You're finally awake. ”
Su Moyan felt a little inexplicable when she saw Bai Jinse behaving like this, and she had several questions: "When did Bai Jinse behave so intimately towards her?" Did she find out that I was her long-lost sister, and that the white frost was just an impostor? ”
She remembered the way the two sisters usually didn't deal with each other, and became more and more sure of the speculation in her heart, but she immediately shook her head, "I don't want to have anything to do with the white frost, I almost died at her hands several times." ”
Bai Jinse saw Su Moyan's strange expression, he was in a daze and shook his head, and looked at Xuan Huaiyu beside him,
"Brother Prince, isn't Sister Su stupid?"
"You're stupid, your whole family is stupid." She looked up and saw Bai Shuangran standing behind Xuan Huaiyu with a pair of apricot eyes, and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"Sister Su, you finally woke up, Brother Prince is very worried about you." Bai Jinse felt a fierce gaze behind him, and quickly changed his words, "We are all worried about you. ”
After speaking, he hugged Su Moyan again, since she was assassinated in the forest today, although Bai Jinse had saved her twice, Su Morou had never found a chance to thank her, but she had only seen her three times, and now she wiped her tears and hugged her, Su Morou felt a little unaccustomed, after all, they were only strangers who had met three times.
"Jin Se, it's not just that Su Moyan is happy to wake up, I'm afraid you're worried about your senior brother Yi Tianya!"
"Brother Prince..."Bai Jinse's snow-white little face seemed to be covered with a layer of pink veil.
