Chapter 285: Murder in public
In the carriage, Qi Changrong's face was pale, his brows were slightly frowning and covering his aching forehead, and he couldn't speak.
This time it was a hard hit.
It stands to reason that with her speed, as long as she reacts quickly, she should be unscathed.
But she was wandering at the time, and her reaction was two beats slower.
By the time he had reacted completely, the man had already crashed into it.
I didn't wake up until the pain in my forehead hit.
"Your Highness is all right?" Shi Xia hurriedly took out the ointment from his long sleeves and applied a thick layer to the red place where Qi Changrong's face was red.
The ointment is refreshing and cool, with a hint of inconspicuous fragrance, relieving the hot pain.
Qi Changrong put down his hand, unconsciously gasped, and after his dizzy head regained clarity again, he slowly shook his head in the face of Shi Xia's worried gaze: "It's okay." ”
With that, she took a deep breath.
The ointment prepared by Shi Xia has a calming effect, and its fragrance can also make people's minds more sober.
The coachman's words of pleading guilt were vividly in his ears, Qi Changrong waved his hand, and asked in a loud voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you, do you know what happened in front of you?" ”
The coachman's voice came to his ears through the curtain: "I don't know, little one. ”
Hearing this, Qi Changrong sighed silently in his heart.
I don't know if it's her delusion, but I always feel that the noise on the street suddenly subdues.
At this time, Shi Xia stretched out his hand to open the curtain and looked out quietly.
I saw that the people who were originally wandering the streets retreated to both sides, and their expressions seemed to be slightly frightened.
The fear that goes deep into the bone marrow is completely different from the disgust when facing Yan Yiheng.
Qi Changrong was stunned.
Under Shi Xia's worried gaze, he patted her soothingly: "Don't be afraid, it's not a big deal to think about it, Lone's head hurts, you go first to see what happened, and talk to Lone carefully when you come back." ”
"Yes." Shi Xia nodded.
Then he lifted his skirt, carefully jumped out of the carriage, and followed the stiff flow of people until he reached the golden carriage at the front, and before he could get closer, he heard a distant clamour.
It's as if they've been arguing for a while.
Shi Xia stopped, and suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead, a familiar voice said arrogantly: "Your master is drunk, is it possible that you are also drunk?" Something that doesn't have long eyes dares to disturb my car and see that I don't break your dog's leg today! ”
After that, Shi Xia seemed to hear the sound of a long whip waving and breaking through the air.
Immediately, it hit the person's body with such a strong force that it seemed to beat the person to the point of a whip.
When the whip hit the ground, there was another 'plop' sound, faintly mixed with the sighs of the people around him and the painful cries of the people who were hit.
Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Shi Xia could still make up the current scene, it should be that the driver of the car was not a scumbag, and he rolled off the car with a grunt.
Regardless of the pain all over his body, the coachman hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "The slave deserves to die, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince forgives his sins." ”
confessed his guilt and confessed it neatly, as if it had been colluded a long time ago.
However, when they heard this, the people who stopped around seemed to have pity on their faces.
But no one dared to stand up and confront Yan Mushan, even if they saw it very clearly, it was obviously the frame of the fifth prince that deliberately crashed into the carriage of the third prince.
Hearing this, Shi Xia Xiuqi's brows tightened, and he finally realized who was the object of the quarrel with Yan Yiheng in front of him.
Yan Mushan, the fifth prince of the Yan Kingdom.
That one...... The prince who is dedicated to the cool country.
Yan Mushan was still not enough, his gloomy gaze fell on the closed carriage door, and he slowly raised his whip.
Shi Xia no longer hesitated, and stepped forward.
When Yan Mushan was about to swing the second whip, Shi Xia stood directly in front of the carriage and looked directly at Yan Mushan's slightly changed face with an expressionless face.
However, the whip is slightly long, and he has the ability to throw it out, but he doesn't have the ability to take it back immediately.
Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Shi Xia's flower-like face, leaving a wound that would never heal in this life.
When everyone couldn't bear it, they turned their faces away and didn't dare to look at it again.
Just as he was about to shoot, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air, holding the long whip with one hand, and then gently pulled, the long whip flew out of Yan Mushan's hand and rolled it in the man's hand a few times.
Then, the ordinary-looking young man walked up to Shi Xia, presented the whip that was rolled up in both hands, and said respectfully, "Little lady." ”
Shi Xia stretched out his hand to take it, raised his hand and gently stroked the barbs on the long whip, his face became more and more gloomy.
Then, under the amazed gaze of everyone, the young man re-disappeared into the crowd, standing beside him with his hands in his hands, without saying a word.
Shi Xia clenched the long whip, finally got out of the fright, raised his head slightly and looked directly at Yan Mushan, and sneered: "His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince is so majestic, he dares to defy the laws of the Yan Kingdom and commit murder in the street in the blue sky and daylight. ”
Yan Mushan was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled indifferently: "It was this dog slave who offended this prince first, and this prince is just a small punishment." ”
"A little punishment? I'm afraid that if this whip goes down, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince wants human life, right? ”
Shi Xia's voice became colder and colder, and he raised the long whip in his hand to let everyone see the true appearance of this whip.
In the sunlight, the sharp barbs on it still glowed with cold light.
Suddenly, the crowd was in a commotion.
Needless to say, they could imagine that if the whip really hit a person, it would definitely splash a piece of flesh.
Yan Mushan squinted his eyes, and said with an unkind expression: "It's just a slave who doesn't have long eyes, and if he dies, he will die, and when the time comes, I will compensate the Three Princes' Mansion for a more useful one?" ”
"Definitely." Shi Xia shook his head and frowned: "This is not a matter of whether or not to compensate a slave, but a matter of human life." ”
"Everything is under the protection of the people of Yan Kingdom, Your Majesty Yan Kingdom has every opportunity, and it has taken decades of hard work to make the people of Yan Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment, and the five princes are royal families, but they want to take the lives of the people so easily, isn't it that His Majesty Yan Kingdom's hard work is in vain?"
"Is this too harsh?"
Shi Xia looked around as he spoke, and everyone invariably showed a sad look.
It is conceivable how bold the five princes of Yan Kingdom are, perhaps among the people standing here at this time, some of them have been persecuted by Yan Mushan.
Even now, I am still afraid of him.
"This prince can't get you a minion beak when he does things!" Yan Mushan's eyes were full of anger, and he wanted to smash Shi Xia's head with a whip.
However, he subconsciously reached out to fish, but he fished out a handful of air.
His gaze fell on Shi Xia's hand.
What she held in her hand was the unique golden whip he had built with a lot of money.
"Give me back the whip!" Yan Mushan reached out to ask for it.
Shixia looked directly at him, then took two steps back.
"What do you mean?" Yan Mushan's face was ugly.
"This thing is a murder weapon in the hands of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, if His Royal Highness the Prince makes another big mistake, this thing will be kept by the slave master for the time being, if His Royal Highness wants it, please go directly to the Jinluan Palace to ask His Majesty the Yan Emperor."
With that, she raised her hand.
The young man hidden in the crowd immediately understood what she meant, and took two steps forward to take the things.
Before his hand was about to touch the barb, Shi Xia frowned and said, "Be careful, the whip is poisonous, if you accidentally see blood and don't treat it in time, your life will be in danger." ”
Hearing this, the young man immediately withdrew his hand, held the handle of the whip steadily, flashed into the crowd with great speed, and then disappeared.
Her voice was not small, enough for the people around her to hear it clearly.
In an instant, the crowd that was already far away took a few steps back.
Hearing this, Yan Mushan's face became even more ugly: "What kind of rumors are you making, this prince's long whip, doesn't this prince know if it is poisonous?" ”
Hearing this, Shi Xia looked at Yan Mushan with pity.
This little poor one, if it were really like what he said, the whip should have been non-poisonous......
Then, he was calculated.
As if in order to confirm the truth of what Shi Xia said, not long after her words fell, the coachman, who was originally kneeling on the ground, suddenly convulsed and foamed at the mouth.
Seeing this, the people pointed to the coachman and exclaimed, "It's really poisonous!" Look! ”
Immediately, everyone cast condemning glances at Yan Mushan.
Obviously, in their eyes, Yan Mushan was extremely likely to be poisoned.
After all, this prince is notoriously ruthless in Cheng'an.
Yan Mushan's face was dark as if he could drip water, and in the face of everyone's suspicions, he pleaded more than once: "This prince doesn't!" ”
However, his voice fell like a stone into the sea, and for a short time there was no trace, and no one responded to his words.
Even if they shut up out of fear, they didn't actually believe a word in their hearts.
Seeing this, Yan Mushan was furious.
Shi Xia turned around, looked down at the man lying on the ground and kept twitching, and saw that he was staring deadly, his pupils were as thin as needletips, and he took in less air and exhaled more.
I knew that he was hopeless.
Suddenly, Shi Xia sighed and said, "What a good life, no ......"
In an instant, there was a sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Looking at the blind coachman, others couldn't help but think, if one day they accidentally provoked the five princes, then would they also be as blind as this coachman?
At this time, the carriage, which had not been moving, finally heard the sound of Xi Suosuo.
It was like someone who got up from the couch, lifted the quilt, and finally pushed the car door and stood in front of everyone.
This person is the drunk Yan Yiheng.
Yan Yiheng opened his eyes in confusion, looked at the scene in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "What is going on?" ”
The little guy who was standing by the carriage and witnessed the whole process endured the discomfort in his heart, and said softly: "Xiao Huang didn't drive well, accidentally provoked the five princes, and died." ”
Hearing this, Yan Yiheng was slightly stunned.
It seems that he didn't expect that he would get drunk and a person would die in the house.
Just as Yan Yiheng was thinking, someone in the crowd came out with a sentence:
"What does it mean to offend His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince? What I saw with my own eyes was clearly the frame of the fifth prince driving straight towards the car of the third prince! ”
