Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Killing of Langya Fort
The sky was not beautiful, and it began to rain, and the huge raindrops fell on people's faces, which was very painful.
The wind was blowing, blowing Ji Qiang's hair messy, and she tripped over the stones carelessly. The whole person threw himself forward and sat down on the ground, his palms pressed against the stone, and he was already rubbing bloodshots.
Her left ear was slightly erected, and she stared sharply at the position to the west, and a hint of anxiety flashed in her eyes.
Stomping, clucking, the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer.
Ji Qiang raised her head and squinted her eyes to tell who it was, and what caught her eyes was a bright knife.
"Princess Xiaoyang?" The man in black opened his mouth coldly, a pair of eagle eyes looked at Ji Qiang fiercely, and he laughed, "It's a beauty in the city, if you are sold to Yihong Courtyard, it will be a big price." β
Ji Qiang caught the key words in his words, she stepped back silently, and spoke: "How many silver taels the other party gives you, I will double it." β
"I, Langya Fort, have always been true to my word, since I promised it, how can I regret it halfway." The black-clothed man's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, and he squatted down and pinched Ji Qiang's chin, "It's such a good color as a princess, I really can't bear to kill her, why don't you go back with me to be the castle lord's wife?" β
Ji Qiang's pupils shrank, and she exclaimed, "You are the castle master of Langya Castle?" β
"No, the castle lord is unfathomable, and even more elusive, even the disciples in the castle won't know where he went." The man in black lifted the mask, revealing an extremely bewitching face, "My name is Killing, and I am temporarily in charge of the castle master. β
Ji Qiang lowered her eyes, and quickly calculated in her heart: "I'll go with you, but there is one more person walking with me, you can't hurt his life." β
"Could it be that you're talking about the famous Qi King Xia Jingnian?" The killing spirit shouted famously, and his expression became inexplicably a little complicated, "I didn't expect that the rumors that you have a good relationship with him are true." β
Ji Qiang groaned in her heart, could it be that a long time ago, someone secretly observed and followed her. If so, who would it be? The mind is extremely scary, and it is impossible to prevent it.
"Can you tell me who is the man who wants to marry me?" Ji Qiang tried to ask.
Murderous sighed, put down the knife and sat next to her, his eyes full of satisfaction for her: "The people in the palace, as for who it is, I have nothing to say." β
After speaking, he carefully looked at Ji Qiang's face, and said with a sigh, "It's rare for someone to have such an appetite for me, this one is really impeccable, and it pleases me everywhere." β
Ji Qiang subconsciously moved back, avoiding his touch, while touching the dagger she hid with her hand: "Your Excellency, don't mess around, I'm a princess given by the emperor himself, you kidnapped me so rashly, and you're not afraid that the government will find me?" β
Killing Qing seemed to hear a great joke, and raised his head and laughed: "Princess Xiaoyang, you are too naΓ―ve, even if there are people from the government, how many can there be my opponents in Langya Fort." In order to save their lives, no one dares to touch hard stones with eggs. β
The speaker was unintentional, listening to it intentionally, Ji Qiang lowered her eyes, and her mind quickly became active.
There are not many people in the palace who want to quietly assassinate her, and there are a few who say less. The queen, Concubine Jing and even Xia Chengmu are all possible, so who are the three of them?
"Princess, let's go." Murderous ready to get up.
Ji Qiang quickly put the dagger on the neck of the murderous spirit, so fast that people couldn't react at all, she lowered her voice: "Go!" β
A playful smile flashed in the eyes of the killer, and he walked forward cooperatively.
In the same place of the sea of flowers, there were more than a dozen dead corpses next to Xia Jingnian, and his jade-like face was stained with a few drops of blood, which made him even more demonic. Clouds
"King Qi." Ji Qiang hurriedly walked towards him, the knife in his hand was slightly forced, and a bloody mark was cut on the neck of the murderous spirit.
Killing Qing didn't care about the blood on his neck at all, but raised his eyebrows and teased: "This King Qi, is it really your old friend?" β
Ji Qiang mercilessly moved his face away, cold as ice: "It has nothing to do with you." β
"Who is he?" Xia Jingnian stood up with the handle of the sword and walked towards her step by step, the wind blew the hem of his clothes, and the whole person was charming.
Ji Qiang pushed the killing aside, ran to his side and supported him: "Are you injured?" β
"No problem." Xia Jingnian shook his head lightly, staring at the killing with cold eyes, and opened his lips, "You are the next castle master of Langya Fort in the rumor, murder?" β
The murderous love evoked a smile, and he leaned on the tree: "I have heard the name of His Royal Highness King Qi for a long time, and when I see it today, it is really as I thought before I went down, and the heroic fighting can be outstanding." β
Xia Jingnian said coldly: "This king doesn't have time to chat with you, I only need two questions, one is who will spend the silver and two for your people in the castle to assassinate Princess Xiaoyang, and second, since you blocked her from behind, why was you subdued in reverse." It's too simple to escape with your skills, what do you have for Princess Xiaoyang? β
In the last sentence, he exerted the force of oppression, so that people did not dare to look up at him.
Ji Qiang shivered several times when she was blown by the wind, Xia Jingnian noticed that he held her hand and injected true qi into her body.
After a while, Ji Qiang felt a lot warmer all over her body.
Murderous watched closely at the interaction between the two, lowered his eyes thoughtfully, he soared up the tree, and quickly disappeared in place leaving a sentence: "King Qi, Princess Xiaoyang, we will have a date later." β
Ji Qiang breathed a big sigh of relief, she was about to walk forward, when Xia Jingnian, who was standing beside her, fainted and fell to the ground.
"King Qi." Ji Qiang looked a little anxious, she squatted down and flipped him over, and saw that his chest was already stained red with blood, like a flower in full bloom.
The rain dripped on the faces of the two, Ji Qiang's hair was close to her forehead, and she anxiously helped Xia Jingnian to find a place to shelter from the rain. But as far as the eye can see, it's all plains.
In the end, she found a big tree to hide from the rain, she sat on the ground, lay Xia Jingnian's head flat on her lap, and tears fell down: "Xia Jingnian." β
"Don't cry." Xia Jingnian opened his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, "This king is just a little tired, let me sleep for a while, and my spirit will be able to nourish my energy." Since this king has brought you here to see the sea of flowers, it will surely bring you back safely. β
"Okay." Ji Qiang nodded heavily.
The corners of Xia Jingnian's mouth rose, he closed his eyes completely, his handsome face was as pale as jade, and his thin lips were no longer the usual blood color.
Ji Qiang looked left and right, took clean water to clean his wound, sprinkled the wound with the medicine he carried, and then bandaged it with a cloth.
It had been a while since she had done all this, and she frowned, it was cold in the rain, and she was prone to cold and fever.
She jumped alone in the mountains, and finally found a stone cave.
"Xia Jingnian, you hold on, and it will soon be warm later." Ji Qiang carried Xia Jingnian on her back and walked forward step by step, sweat and rain flowing straight down her face.
