Chapter 187: I Choose Fifth Miss
It was Murong Jun who went to pick up the news the next day, and Lin Yingxue and Fang Mengru stayed in the inn.
The shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop had been waiting for Murong Jun to arrive for a long time, "Childe, this is the news you want." β
As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed Murong Jun a bag, and Murong Jun took the bag and was about to leave, but he saw the shopkeeper looking at him strangely, as if he had something to say to him, "Is there anything else?" Murong Jun frowned lightly and asked.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment when he heard the question, and then said: "I think Childe is a cheerful person, then I will give Childe another piece of news for free, if someone wants to be unfavorable to Childe, Childe should not throw himself into the net." β
Throwing yourself into the net? Murong Jun's expression changed, and then the shopkeeper only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and when he looked closely, there was no shadow of Murong Jun in the store.
Seeing Murong Jun's appearance of leaving in a hurry, he must have rushed back to save people. The shopkeeper shook his head, as if he was emotional and regretful: "Since ancient times, heroes have always been more than a 'love' word, but they don't know that once this person has weaknesses, it will be difficult to succeed!" β
The shopkeeper's exclamation Murong Jun couldn't hear it, because he was trying his best to rush in the direction of the inn at this time. When he was about to arrive at the door of the inn, Murong Jun's keen perception had already told him that there was danger ahead, so he stopped and found a hidden place to hide his figure, secretly observing the movement not far away.
I saw that the originally peaceful inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers at this time, and after a while, someone came out of it, needless to say, those two women were naturally Lin Yingxue and Fang Mengru.
Although there is still some distance apart, Murong Jun can still see that Fang Mengru's body seems to be stained with a little red, which shows that Fang Mengru should be injured, as for Lin Yingxue, her body is blocked, Murong Jun can't see Lin Yingxue's condition at this time, but it is conceivable that it should not be much better.
Murong Jun clenched his fists, and his body exuded a chilling killing intent.
Seeing that the people in the official mansion seemed to be planning to take Lin Yingxue and Fang Mengru away, Murong Jun guessed that the two should not be in danger of their lives for the time being. He thought about it, tried his best to resist the urge to rush out to save people, and then took out the bag that the shopkeeper of the calligraphy and painting shop had given him from his arms.
There is only one note in the bag, on which are written a few words: Zhengdongfang, Xu House.
After Murong Jun finished reading it, he used his internal force to shatter the note into pieces, and then he went straight to the place where the note was written with a cold face.
At this time, Yin Ze, who was looking for fun in Xu's house, didn't know that he had been targeted, and now he was immersed in the wine pond and meat forest, while thinking that if he could successfully take the city of Rong Guo, after he made meritorious deeds, his father would definitely pass on the position above 10,000 people to him...... Just thinking about it, Yin Ze's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.
But it didn't take long for his smile to freeze on his faceβfor he didn't know who had given him a knife from behind, and he rolled his eyes and fainted before he could even scream.
β¦β¦
Xu Jingsheng was in a very good mood today, because he had caught two important people in the city, although the most important person had not been caught yet, but he knew that with these two hostages in his hands, that person would come to the door sooner or later, and all he had to do was to set a trap and wait for that person to come to the net.
"Is the prince still in the room and hasn't come out?" Yin Ze's life has always been extravagant and luxurious, Xu Jingsheng can't get used to Yin Ze's style, unless there is something extremely important, he never easily steps into Yin Ze's room.
It's the same today, he called Yahuan to go in and report as usual, but after a while, Yahuan hurriedly ran back again, "Mr. Xu, it's not good, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone!" β
"What!" Xu Jingsheng was taken aback, his expression changed suddenly, and the whole person seemed to have completely changed into another person.
The girl was frightened enough, and handed a piece of paper to Xu Jingsheng with a trembling little hand, "Someone left a note in the house......"
Xu Jingsheng snatched the paper from Yahuan's hand, and saw a few big characters written on the paper: If you want someone, come to the drunken pavilion in the western suburbs tomorrow.
"It must be him!" Murong Jun! Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Murong Jun, Xu Jing pinched the paper in his hand to death, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, as if he was mistaking the paper in his hand as Murong Jun.
Early the next morning, Xu Jingsheng arrived in the western suburbs as promised, but he arrived with an army and Lin Yingxue and Fang Mengru who were tied.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" From afar, Xu Jingsheng saw Murong Jun in green clothes standing with his hands in his hands, and Yin Ze, who was tied up like a zongzi under his feet, saw Yin Ze bringing people over, and was writhing his body like a caterpillar.
"Let go." From the moment he saw Lin Yingxue, Murong Jun's eyes had never left Lin Yingxue, and when he saw Lin Yingxue's little face turned pale, as if he had been injured, his voice couldn't help but be plated with a thick chill.
However, Xu Jingsheng was not afraid at all, he glanced at Yin Ze indifferently, and said calmly: "One for one, the Third Highness said who he wanted to change." β
As Xu Jingsheng spoke, he picked up a sharp sword and placed it across Lin Yingxue's snow-white and delicate neck, and the soldier who followed Xu Jingsheng quickly pulled out the saber on his waist and put it on Fang Mengru's neck when he heard this.
One is his younger sister who grew up watching him, and the other is a woman he has always admired. Xu Jingsheng seemed to have expected that Murong Jun would not be able to choose, so he deliberately asked such a cruel question for Murong Jun to choose.
Murong Jun glanced at Lin Yingxue, who was calm, and then at Fang Mengru, who was indignant. The fist he hid in his sleeve clenched quietly, but his face was still calm, "What if I want both?" β
As he spoke, he grabbed Yin Ze's neck and lifted the person from the ground. Yin Ze was forced to stand up with Murong Jun's movements, his face gradually turned the color of pig liver, and his eyes also flashed with fear, if it weren't for the fact that his mouth was blocked by strips of cloth, he must have screamed out by now.
"The Third Highness is a little greedy." A sneer flashed on Xu Jingsheng's face, and at the same time, he increased the force in his hand.
The sharp blade slowly cut into Lin Yingxue's flesh, and the bright red blood slowly flowed down the blade, staining Lin Yingxue's front placket red. The fear of death tugged at Lin Yingxue's heart, but she gritted her teeth and refused to show a trace of weakness.
"Stop!" Seeing that the blade was cutting deeper and deeper, Murong Jun finally couldn't help but shout.
He stared at Xu Jingsheng deadly, and the strong killing intent was almost transformed into substance.
"Let go, I want Miss Five." After all, the choice was made.
When Lin Yingxue heard this, a slight surprise flashed in her eyes, but a subtle light in Fang Mengru's eyes dimmed because of this.
'Click', it seemed that something was quietly cracking in her heart, Fang Mengru lowered her head and looked abrupt.
It didn't seem to surprise Murong Jun's choice, Xu Jingsheng pulled Lin Yingxue in front of him with a rough move, "I'll count to three, let's put it together." β
Murong Jun did not object to this, and he also slipped Yin Zeti in front of him.
"One, two, three......" As the third number fell, Murong Jun and Xu Jingsheng pushed out the people in their hands at the same time.
Lin Yingxue walked in the direction of Murong Jun step by step, looking at Murong Jun's eyes that had always been poured into her, something seemed to be quietly blooming in her heart.
"Up!" And just as Lin Yingxue was about to walk up to Murong Jun, Xu Jingsheng's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
She looked back to see what was going on behind her, but Murong Jun rushed in front of her with an arrow and hugged her fiercely into his arms, as if he was going to rub her into his body.
"San......" Before she could speak, Murong Jun quickly let go of her and rushed behind her.
Lin Yingxue turned around and found that the rope that tied her arm had been cut by Murong Jun just now. While moving her wrist, she observed the situation in front of her - she saw Leng Yue and a group of secret guards suddenly appear out of nowhere, and at this time they were already entangled with the army brought by Xu Jingsheng.
And although Leng Yue and his party did not have an advantage in numbers, wherever they passed, they must have fallen corpses.
