Chapter 166: Assassination on the Road

Lingyin Temple is located in the west and is relatively remote.

This case was extremely confusing, and after thinking about it for a while, Ji Qiang decided to go alone.

"Princess, where are you going?" Seeing that Ji Qiang was about to leave, Xi'er came out of nowhere.

"Go to Lingyin Temple, you wait in the mansion, I'll go alone."

After hearing this, Xi'er was immediately shocked: "How can you go alone!?" Lingyin Temple is so far away, what if it is in danger? ”

Ji Qiang looked at her funny: "Then what do you say I should do?" ”

Xi'er bit her lower lip and replied softly: "Why don't you bring Xi'er, Xi'er will definitely not cause trouble to the princess!" ”

"But what if it's in danger?" Ji Qiang said with a smile, "I can't protect you." ”

"You don't have to protect the princess! If the princess is in danger, it is Xi'er who protects you. Xi'er's eyes lit up and she looked at her expectantly, "If the food in Lingyin Temple is not good, Xi'er can still prepare snacks for the princess." ”

Ji Qiang shook her head helplessly and funny: "The road is rough, you still have to wait in the house." ”

"But the princess can go, why can't Xi'er?" Xi'er carefully tugged at the handkerchief and lowered her head aggrievedly.

In the end, Ji Qiang still couldn't resist her, so she could only take her with her. If you really encounter danger on the road, you can still run if you can't beat it.

Before going out, Ji Qiang told again: "You don't have to bring too many things, you can come back tomorrow." ”

Xi'er nodded heavily, but at the end she ran to bring a lot of snacks.

She thought that the road was so bumpy, and if she was hungry, she could have a little heart, and she thought so thoughtfully, the princess would praise her!

Seeing this, Ji Qiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "With so many dim sum, I'm afraid I can't finish it, right?" ”

"The princess can't finish eating, and Xi'er still has Xi'er!" Xi'er patted her stomach and said proudly, "Don't say anything else, Xi'er is very good at eating." ”

Ji Qiang sighed and got into the carriage with her.

Driving outside the city gate, the road was a little bumpy, and at this time the stomach was empty, and there was no interest in eating snacks.

Xi'er squatted in the corner and said resentfully: "Dim sum is ...... in vain"

"It's okay, I'll eat it when I get to the temple." Ji Qiang said soothingly.

"But then it's going to be cold." Xi'er was about to say something more, but the carriage stopped suddenly, and she fell to the place in a hurry, and suddenly screamed.

Ji Qiang helped her up, lifted the curtain and looked out.

I saw several black-clothed men surrounding the carriage, looking menacing.

The groom fell to the ground, bleeding profusely and making a "ho-ho" sound.

Ji Qiang twisted her eyebrows, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, she jumped out of the car and helped the groom up.

"Princess, be careful......" The groom only had time to say this, and his head tilted and died instantly.

"Who are you?" Ji Qiang calmly closed her eyes for the groom and glanced at the people around her lightly.

"The dead don't need to know our names." As soon as the hoarse voice came out, the killing intent came to her face, Ji Qiang rolled and dodged the attack, but Xi'er was still in the carriage, looking at the scene in front of her in fear. Old friends Chinese network

"Hide!" Ji Qiang pinched the gravel with his hand and hit one of the black-clothed men on the leg steadily, seeing him stumble a few steps, his eyes were on the next one.

There are five people in black, and she can handle it alone, but Xi'er is quite dangerous.

"Princess!" Seeing Ji Qiang enter the encirclement of the man in black, Xi'er suddenly screamed.

But what is surprising is that those people in black seem to recognize Ji Qiang and ignore Xi'er on the side. At this time, if Xi'er can leave, Ji Qiang can also get out of danger.

Xi'er saw that Ji Qiang had escaped the attack of the man in black, her heart was lifted, and she bit her lower lip with regret and sadness.

She regretted that she couldn't persuade Ji Qiang to bring a few more people, and she was even more sad that she couldn't help, if she knew how to make a move and a half, the scene didn't have to be so passive!

"Let's go!" Ji Qiang shouted, and was almost hit by a sword in a distraction.

Xi'er gritted her teeth, chose a direction and plunged into the dense forest, but she didn't dare to go far, but found a safe place and secretly checked the situation.

After Xi'er left, Ji Qiang seemed to have been unfettered and switched from defense to offense, but after all, she was unarmed, and under the siege of five people, she was somewhat disadvantaged.

Not long after, she gritted her teeth, found a flaw, forcibly broke through from the inside, chose a position in the opposite direction from Xi'er, and rushed in.

But what was unexpected was that the man in black did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but thought about it for a while and left in two directions.

Xi'er was shocked, and after the man in black left, she couldn't wait to run in the direction of Ji Qiang.

Ji Qiang was slightly injured, and seeing that there was no one chasing behind him, he slowed down his pace, and the two met soon after.

"Princess!" Xi'er cried and pounced on it, shouting, "It's all Xi'er useless!" If you harm the public, you will fight for your life with the gangsters. ”

"Don't cry, let's go ahead and see if we can find a place where there are people."

Xi'er wiped away her tears and nodded, stubbornly walking ahead to open the way.

The two staggered along, and it took a while to find a village, but luckily Xi'er came out with some silver taels, which could be exchanged with the villagers for healing herbs.

Most of the people in the village were elderly, and there were many empty houses, so with the permission of the village chief, they found an empty house to live in and spend the day for the time being.

The night was getting deeper, Ji Qiang had not arrived at Lingyin Temple for a long time, and the host of the temple felt that something was wrong, so he found someone to go to the city to inquire, but learned that the person who solved the case had already set off, and he was even more puzzled. This news turned around, and finally fell into Xia Jingnian's ears, he was restless, and immediately took the secret guard to prepare to find it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, An Nan actually appeared on the way he had to pass and claimed that Ji Qiang was dead.

Xia Jingnian narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly, "How can you know that Qiang'er is dead?" ”

"In the wilderness, if you encounter danger, can you still survive?" An Nan said, "What's more, it's late at night, if you really want to find it, it's better to wait until tomorrow, right?" ”

"This matter has nothing to do with the side concubine, please leave quickly."

"King Qi!" An Nan was also a little anxious, "Aren't you afraid that you will encounter danger if you go?" ”

"Does the side concubine know anything?" Xia Jingnian leaned over slightly and stared at her coldly, "If I don't look for it, shouldn't Qiang'er be more dangerous?" The side concubine kept saying that Qiang'er was dead, but if she didn't see the corpse, Qiang'er would still be alive! ”

Seeing that Xia Jingnian did not enter the oil and salt, An Nan looked at the night as thick as ink, and his voice was as light as a mosquito fly: "If you go, I'm afraid you can only see the corpse." ”

Xia Jingnian obviously lost his patience and left directly.

An Nan looked at his departing back, and a treacherous smile suddenly hung on the corner of his mouth: "Ji Qiang, Ji Qiang, King Qi is destined to be mine, thank you for sacrificing your life~"
