On the 9th, Xia Jingnian arrived in Luoyang with his army, which was only thirty miles away from the capital.

When Ji Qiang learned about it, she immediately set off, wanting to welcome Xia Jingnian as soon as possible.

Lu Yao Inn.

Xia Jingnian ordered the whole army to rest, and he read Ji Qiang's letter to him several times along the way. He knew everything about the current situation in the capital, including Xia Chengmu's calculation of Ji Qiang.

He looked in the direction of the capital, his eyes were far away, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, he would definitely not let go of anyone who bullied Ji Qiang!

"Princess, would you like to rest for a while?" Chamomile lifted the curtain and saw an inn in front of him, so he hurriedly asked.

Ji Qiang nodded, according to her calculations, Xia Jingnian was also very likely to rest here.

She came this time, and only brought chamomile to serve by her side.

"Princess!" When Fang Ping saw Ji Qiang's figure, he thought he had made a mistake, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and said in surprise, "Your Highness, it's Princess Xiaoyang." ”

Xia Jingnian thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when he heard the words, he looked at him and saw that the figure outside the inn was not the person he missed every day.

Before Ji Qiang took a step, the whole person was embraced by the familiar, she showed a satisfied smile, and looked up at Xia Jingnian: "You have lost weight." ”

"Qiang'er." Xia Jingnian leaned over and pecked her lips, her eyes were very bright.

Fang Ping and Chamomile looked at each other, turned around very naturally, and pretended to look at the sky.

Ji Qiang looked around left and right, and said a little puzzled: "Why aren't the prince and General Wei Chi here?"

"They took the army and took a shortcut." Xia Jingnian said, scratching her nose again, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but you can miss me." ”

Ji Qiang wrapped her hands around him: "I miss him very much, I don't know if you are doing well in the barracks." ”

"Everything is fine, but there is no Qiang around me, and it is very lonely." Xia Jingnian said, sighed softly, and rested his head on her shoulder, "Now that I have you, I am very satisfied." ”

Ji Qiang smiled: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but your mouth is more and more like eating honey." ”

As soon as the words fell, several cold arrows shot towards Xia Jingnian from all directions.

He quickly caged Ji Qiang in his arms, quickly took him away to the inn, and entered the secret room.

Fang Ping also took chamomile to a safe place and waited in the dark.

A group of black-clothed people entered the inn and found it in a mess, and they directly slashed the table and stool with knives, which was very ruthless.

"Boss, failed to find anyone else." Little minion.

The man who was called the boss bowed his head, his eyes scanned around, and he fixed himself at the counter.

There was the sound of footsteps outside, neither slow nor hurried.

"There's a woman." Ji Qiang saw a woman in a black robe from the crack, and she looked like frost, but she didn't know who she was.

Xia Jingnian smiled quietly, "It's my people." ”k

Ji Qiang's eyes flashed brightly, it was also a matter of an instant, and it was really not simple. Her thoughts drifted slightly, and she was quickly pulled back by the flirtatious voice outside.

"Yo, this is a big beauty, raise your head and let the master take a look." Sitting on a stool, the leader with one leg restless looked up and down at the woman who had just entered. A face is cold and indifferent, from the eyebrow bone to the high nose extending the chin, the word excellent, but also revealing a high coldness. He's just very energetic, interesting.

The woman didn't care, glanced around, and looked fixedly at the location of the secret room.

Ji Qiang's fingers trembled slightly, but it was amazing, but she didn't know if the place she looked at was virtual or real. She hooked her lips and stared out motionless.

Xia Jingnian looked at her with interest, and from his point of view, he could just see Ji Qiang's side face that couldn't pick out the thorns, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Seeing that the woman did not react, the man in brocade silk under the leader couldn't help but shout, "It's a great blessing that our eldest brother can take a fancy to you, so why don't you come and serve." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp eye swept over him, and a needle was inserted into his throat, and he slowly fell.

The leader was slightly taken aback, and then swept his scrutinizing eyes at her, and the brothers around him pressed on the handle of their swords, ready to attack.

"Only prickly beauties have fun, and I don't know if your prodigal appearance on the bed also makes my brother and me itch." The leader took a slow and careful sip of tea, seemed to be saying something unbearable, raised his eyes and laughed loudly and threw the teacup on the ground.

Before he could react, the table was blown to the other side by a strong wind, and the teacups and kettles on the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

The shopkeeper of the inn and the little servant were shivering and hiding under the counter, and the little maid was a child of about twelve or thirteen years old, and he was in a hurry. There was an indescribable smell of urine in the air, and the shopkeeper knocked on the little guy's head in surprise and fear, staring at him with wide eyes.

The little guy covered his crotch in shame and fear, and looked at the confrontation in the hall through the gap under the counter, his heart hanging in his throat and unable to move.

"What's the name of your person?" At this quiet moment, Ji Qiang asked softly in Xia Jingnian's ear.

Her breath sprayed on Jiu Xia Jingnian's earlobe, a little itchy, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the already angry woman outside, "Leng Xin, this is Leng Xin's sister." I don't like to talk on weekdays, and I've heard the most of it, three rounds. ”

Ji Qiang sighed and stopped talking.

Leng Xin took a step forward, the leader's eyes darkened, and he slowly drew his knife and pointed at Leng Xin: "Look at you, a woman, it's best to beg for mercy." ”

"If you talk too much nonsense, it's easy to die." Coldly shouted, the silver needle in her hand poured out and entered the leader's throat.

The leader hurriedly pulled out the needle, and he looked at the needle intently, and saw that it had not changed color, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

The little minions behind the leader didn't dare to go up, and said tremblingly: "Boss, otherwise let's go, this person is not easy to mess with." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a plop, and the little guy fell to the ground, and he was so nervous that he fell out from behind the table.

The man beside the leader drew his sword, hooked his lips and smiled: "Yo, come out and send someone to death." ”

The little guy's trembling whole person was like sifting rice, and his tears came out of his eyes, he was going to die, he was going to die!

Bang! The door to the chamber broke.

Under the watchful eye of everyone, Xia Jingnian appeared with Ji Qiang and looked around lightly: "The person who came wants to take the life of this king, it depends on whether you have the ability!" ”

The leader laughed: "I have heard the name of His Royal Highness King Qi for a long time, and when I see it today, it really should not be underestimated." Failing to fight, he could also feel that Xia Jingnian's body was not good to provoke.

Leng Xin was already standing next to Xia Jingnian, his gaze stopped on Ji Qiang for a while, and then moved away. secretly said in his heart, it turned out that this was the daughter of his master's heart, but she was a stunning beauty.

Ji Qiang, who noticed her gaze, suddenly chuckled in her heart, and a strange thought rose, could it be that this iceberg beauty likes Xia Jingnian?!
