Chapter 51. Sword Shadow

I shook my hand and picked up my glass, exclaiming, "Bad luck! ”。

But this is the emperor's toast, if I don't drink it, I'm afraid I will be dragged down and cut down immediately.

It's okay, it's okay, since the prince wants to expose the physical evidence that Ling Niankong has hidden privately, this poison should not kill people immediately. If I have time, I might be able to figure out an antidote on my own.

I comforted myself in my heart, and I was not idle: "The emperor has won the award, and this is all within the courtiers' share." After saying that, he swallowed the wine in one go.

There is no other unusual feeling in the stomach except for the burning sensation of alcohol. Sure enough, it's a chronic poison!

Look at the emperor again, he is being toasted by everyone. I was thinking about when this palace banquet would end, but I heard the people around me say coldly: "Didn't you say that no matter what it is for, you are not allowed to hurt yourself again?" Where have you heard all my words? ”

I was stunned, it turned out that he had already seen my change of wine.

I couldn't help but pout, I wasn't forced to get this far because of him? He's good, he'll just scold me.

I wanted to push back his words, but suddenly I felt uncomfortable suffocating in my chest, as if I was blocked by something and didn't vomit unpleasantly. Suddenly, a strong desire to talk came to my heart, and I couldn't help but want to speak. The hand tugged at his sleeve uncontrollably.

"Ling Niankong, I'm ......" He raised his finger and tapped twice between my ribs. My eyes widened. "Points? Does it work? ”

He didn't look at me, but whispered, "It doesn't work, it just makes the poison go slower." ”

"What kind of poison is this? So weird? ”

"Ice water, extracted from the sap of a very rare lotus flower. If you give it to someone, you can't help but tell the secret hidden in your heart. Answers to questions, so they are often used for interrogation. ”

"It's just forcing people to talk, I thought it was such a great poison."

Hearing him say that, I was relieved. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, how could the prince be so merciful to Ling Niankong?

Ling Niankong continued: "If a person who takes poison pours out all the things in his heart, he will cough up all the blood and die of exhaustion. ”

"Sure enough." I struggled to speak, and I felt the tightness in my chest growing, and it became dull and painful. "How long did it take from taking the poison to when you started coughing up blood?"

"Half an hour." He is authentic without emotion.

"Ling Niankong, I ......"

"Shut up." He interrupted me rudely. "If you don't want to die, shut up. As long as you hold back and don't speak, you won't get to the point of coughing up blood. But you can only endure it yourself, and a little dumb point will not work. ”

He said it lightly, it's poison! Where can I stand it?!

I just wanted to say something more, but the prince opened his mouth.

Although the crown prince is not the emperor, he is second only to the emperor, so as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.

But I was really uncomfortable, I didn't hear what he said at first, until he clicked on Ling Niankong.

"Commander Ling, oh no, it should be called a general now. General Ling, have you ever heard of the 'Chosen One'? The prince thought that Ling Niankong had taken the ice water, so he began to talk nonsense.

Ling Niankong glanced at me, his eyes were full of understanding, but he didn't forget to reply: "I'm afraid that there is no one in these four countries who has never heard of the Chosen One. ”

The prince smiled and continued to ask, "Then do you know where this chosen son is now?" ”

Although the prince asked him this, it was me who took the poison. Hearing this question, I only felt like a monstrous wave rising in my chest, and I couldn't help but rush out of my mouth.

But just then, my arm was squeezed. He was so powerful that it hurt me so much that I almost burst into tears, but it also diverted my attention. I only heard him say coldly: "I don't know." ”

I don't know how the prince reacted when he heard his answer, because I couldn't bear the pain in my chest anymore as if it was about to burst, and with a low groan, my body fell uncontrollably on Ling Niankong's body, and my consciousness gradually dissipated.

Before I lost consciousness, I just felt like I was being hugged by him.

He seemed to have asked the Emperor to leave the table early, and I didn't know anything after that.

******

Vaguely feeling a violent jolt, I opened my eyes and found myself leaning into Ling Niankong's arms, and we were sitting in a galloping carriage.

The discomfort in my chest was twice as strong as it was before I lost consciousness, and I couldn't describe whether it hurt or swelled.

My hand grabbed the hem of his chest uncontrollably, and I gasped and labored, "We...... It's ......"

Even though I only spit out these words, I felt that the pain was visibly relieved. This poison is really forcing people to speak. It seems that the prince wanted to lure him to tell the story of the Chosen One at the palace banquet.

"Go home." There was a hint of anger in his tone.

"Ling Niankong, I ......" After the interrogation for half a day, I was already holding back my stomach problems, but now that I have been poisoned, I can't help it anymore.

"Shut up!" He grabbed me by the collar and glared at me, "It will take more than half an hour to go home, and if you don't want to die, shut up!" ”

"But I'm so miserable now, you can't ......" Before I could finish my sentence, the carriage suddenly came to a sharp stop.

The carriage was galloping, and the inertia of such a sudden stop was so strong that I felt that the whole person was about to fly out of the carriage, but I was taken back into my arms by the man with great force.

Before I could catch my breath, I heard the sound of gold and iron striking outside the car. The moonlight reflected by the sword pierced through the car window, illuminating Ling Niankong's chilling face.

"Hmph, it seems that the prince is really desperate."

Prince? Yes, tonight is the prince's last chance, and now that the plan has failed, he has only this one way left. It's just that time is already pressing, and if I delay like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it back home.

"Is there something wrong with the master?." Xue Rang's calm voice sounded outside the car, and the listening position should be standing by the window.

"It doesn't matter. You concentrate on the enemy, you don't have to worry about the inside of the car. ”

"Yes." Xue Rang responded.

"Ling Niankong, I have a problem...... "I really can't help it."

He grabbed me by the collar again.

His back against the right side of the car pulled me so close that even in the dark compartment I could see his lashes fluttering with anger. "Do you want to die like that?!"

I struggled, but I couldn't break free, and it was like a raging fire in my chest, burning my heart.

"I don't want to die, but I can't bear it!" My words were tinged with tears, tears rolling in my eyes. "I ......"

I was about to say more, but he grabbed the back of my head and slammed my lips.

It was as if something had struck me so the heart that my heart was beating uncontrollably, and along with my already surging chest, it was so hard that I forgot to push him away.

The fight outside the car continued, but he didn't care.

Suddenly, I heard a sound of breaking through the air, and before I could react, he slammed me onto the carriage seat.

A feathered arrow grazed his crown and drove deep into the left wall. His inky black hair fell and covered most of his face. And he acted as if nothing had happened, one hand on his body, and the other on my neck. I turned my head to dodge, but I couldn't.

His heavy breath hit me in the face.

With the last shred of sanity I had, I pushed him hard in the chest, pushing him away a little. But I didn't want to hear two more bursts of breaking the air. He quickly withdrew his hand that was supporting his body, and his whole body was on top of me.

Only two muffled sounds were heard, and the two feathered arrows were nailed to the lower position of the one just now. Seeing this, my already beating heart trembled even more, and I don't know whether I was kissed by him or frightened by the feather arrow.

Can this guy accurately determine the direction of the feather arrow even if he is connected to someone? He's horrible!

I don't dare push him again, if I do, it won't be good if he happens to hit the arrow of the feather arrow!

My mind suddenly became in a trance, and the sound of swords around me became a little unreal. The bodies of the two people are close to each other, and his strong masculine aura lingers around him.

Suddenly there was a sudden pain in the chest, just thinking that the poison was finally going to completely explode, I felt a rush of heat, a sweet throat, I secretly said that it was not good, hurriedly dodged his lips, turned his head outward, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Before I could wipe the blood from the corner of my mouth, there was another sound of breaking the air.

In a daze, Ling Niankong grabbed me and rolled off the seat, and I slammed it on him.

Looking back, an arrow slanted into the middle of the seat. Before I could gasp, he grabbed me by the waist and rolled over and took me under him again.

Still coming?! Again, before I am poisoned, I will be suffocated by him! Unbeknownst to him, however, his lips came up again.

The sound of fighting outside the car has died down. Xue Rang's voice sounded again: "Master." ”

Ling Niankong left my lips when he heard this. The words were slightly soothing: "Go home quickly." With that, he came up again.

Ling Niankong! Are you finished!?

"Yes." Not long after Xue Rang's voice fell, the car moved.

"Ling Niankong, you ......"

He's not going to think about it......

My face was bloodshot, my heart rate was at its peak, and my brain went blank.

All of a sudden, my cheeks, heart, chest, brain, and even my lower abdomen were all screaming in unison, so that the chest pain caused by the poisoning seemed to be less obvious. Just when I thought he was going to take a step further, he suddenly got up and helped me up.

He pulled the arrow from his seat, sat down, and held me tightly in his arms, breathing heavily.

Before I could recover from Fang Cai's confusion, I only felt weak, and I didn't even have the strength to move my fingers, so I could only collapse in his arms.

It took me a long time to recover, and his breathing calmed down, but the carriage stopped.

And here it is?

I was still puzzled, but I heard him say coldly: "You are finally honest for a while." After saying that, he hugged me and got up, wanting to get out of the car.
