Chapter Seventy-Two: The Masked Man Is Him
The masked man didn't move, just stared at the battlefield from the sidelines, who was he, and where did that familiar feeling come from?
"Be careful." Just as I was distracted from looking at the masked man, a person next to me suddenly stabbed me with a sword, and it seemed that I couldn't dodge, am I going to die here?
"Boss, boss......" I closed my eyes, and just when I thought I was going to be pierced by a sword, there was a sudden exclamation in my ears......
I opened my eyes, and standing in front of me was the masked man just now, blood was falling down his wound drop by drop, and everyone present was stunned, including Zhao Guangyi.
"In this world, there are not many people who are willing to block the sword for Miss, but I will definitely be one of them." I looked at the person in front of me, and this sentence that the person said to me more than ten years ago instantly popped into my mind.
"Withdraw ......," the masked man slowly spat out the words.
"Boss, the Holy One gave the order to die......
"I'll take care of ......"
The killer on the side of "Boss ......" was ready to continue to persuade him.
"Finally, remove ......"
"Yes......" Although the remaining killers were unwilling, they also reluctantly agreed, and in a blink of an eye, they scattered into the forest.
"Who are you?" I spoke slowly, and if I was still skeptical, I was almost certain now.
"Miss knows, why bother Ling Qi to say it again?" The masked man slowly pulled out a chess piece from his chest, the only thing he had taken with him when he left the Zhou Mansion.
"I didn't expect it to be really your ......" Actually, from the moment he blocked the sword for me, I could be sure that he was Ling Qi, and in the blink of an eye, I hadn't seen him for more than ten years!
"Miss's kung fu is what I taught, and today it seems that I still can't teach it well enough! Don't say that I taught you when you go out in the future, I can't afford to lose General Ling's ......" Before Ling Qi finished speaking, he suddenly fainted.
Could it be the one I just blocked?
"Zhao Guangyi, what should I do," I hugged the fallen Ling Qi, trying to cover the blood that was still coming out of the wound, it seemed that the sword that I had just blocked for me was not shallow, and I asked Zhao Guangyi for help in confusion. "What to do ......"
"Take him in first, and I'll show him the wound."
Fortunately, the sword did not hit the vital point, but the wound was deep, and the coma caused by excessive blood loss, Zhao Guangyi brought some bottles and cans with him, and quickly helped him stop the bleeding.
"He's fine, wipe the tears from your face, otherwise he will be ugly to death if he doesn't die." After finishing his work, Zhao Guangyi went straight to sit down next to me.
"I can't imagine that the dignified prince of Song still has this craft, it's a pity not to be a doctor."
"This is not walking the rivers and lakes, and you can't help yourself! Anyway, how did you know him, it seems that he still cares about his mother! It won't be the little lover of his youth......"
"Gossip." I gave Zhao Guangyi a roll of the eyes, then turned my head away from him.
"Actually, I suspect they're targeting you this time." After a long time, I glanced at Ling Qi, who was still unconscious on the ground, adjusted my emotions and expressed my suspicions.
Of course, according to Zhao Guangyi's character, it is estimated that he saw it earlier than me.
"Well, I can see that." When Zhao Guangyi said this, his eyes were full of emotions that I couldn't understand, and he definitely didn't expect that he would guess the wrong direction of Zhao Kuangyin's actions.
My brother wanted to kill him, which would be uncomfortable for anyone, and I didn't know how to comfort me for a while, so I could only follow the silence.
"Thank you!" I whispered, no matter what, it was thanks to his protection.
"It's me who thank you, if you just ran away, I guess I won't be able to survive, count me Zhao Guangyi owing you a life."
"Okay, in the future, I will definitely look for you to pay it back."
"Well, definitely."
Maybe I was really tired, Zhao Guangyi, who was sitting next to me, fell asleep after a while, I looked at them, but I couldn't sleep. Obviously, he was still in a tense state of enemies just now, but he will become a comrade-in-arms who shares hardships.
It's just why did Ling Qi appear in the Song Kingdom and be used by Song Taizu?
When I woke up the next day, I was the only one left in the cave, Zhao Guangyi and Ling Qi were gone, and there were still two words engraved with a sword on the ground, no need to guess to know that this must be Zhao Guangyi's words.
"Hmph, goodbye, goodbye......" I won't say a word when I leave, are they all dumb......
Although he was angry, he was more worried, and he didn't know what happened to Ling Qi's wounds, so he hadn't spoken to him yet. With me leaving, can Zhao Guangyi go back safely?
Forget it, since they are all gone, then there is no need for me to stay longer, and after cleaning up at will, I will go straight to the border post station of the Tang Kingdom.
I didn't encounter any more Assassins on the way back, and perhaps because I was being hunted down, I arrived a day or two earlier than I had agreed with Hu Bo and them.
I stayed in the inn room for two days, preparing to wait for them to meet as agreed, but until the third day, I still didn't see Hu Bo and Qiu Xiang.
"This can't be, according to the route, they should have arrived yesterday, and they should have arrived today at the latest, could it be that something happened on the way?"
It wasn't until the fourth day that someone suddenly stuffed a package outside the customer's window, and there was a letter on it.
I opened the letter, and it was his handwriting......
"I'm sorry, I still couldn't help you keep your little maid, I thought you would be safe without them, but......
You don't have to wait, they were killed the day after you left, a sword sealed the throat, the knife was deadly, and my people went to see the bodies and said that they didn't have much pain when they left.
In the bag are some relics that I have people to sort out, so you can keep them to build a mound for your little maid.
I know you're confused, but in fact, their initial goal was indeed you, and the plan was made by me together, to kill you in the Song Kingdom and take the opportunity to provoke a war. But as soon as the order came out, I regretted it, you are innocent, that's why I want to keep you, and I don't know when my brother changed his goal......
When I learned that the final target was me, I was just as confused as you, but I am the prince of Song, no matter what my brother decides, I should support him, this is the last time, and he will be a stranger when he sees him again.
——Zhao Guangyi's book"
It was impossible, so I dropped the letter and ran out, but the courtyard was empty......
How could Qiu Xiang die, I don't believe it, but the things in the package are indeed Qiu Xiang's, and the bracelet I bought for her when I first entered the Song Kingdom......
On the fifth day, I still didn't wait for Hu Bo and Qiu Xiang, I began to doubt the truth of Zhao Guangyi's letter, but I am the queen, and there are more important things waiting for me to do, I picked up the package he gave me and walked to the palace.
This mission was obviously a failure......
