Chapter 55: Weeping Blood Short Blade
As soon as the words fell, she immediately got up.
Ma Zhengli was about to send him off, but was stopped by her: "I came alone, I don't want to make too much noise, and I hope that Master Ma will understand." ”
She seemed to be evasive, and she wanted to know the facts of many years ago.
Ma Zhengli couldn't guess her thoughts, so he could only stand in place, unable to extricate himself from painful memories in Ma Cui's worried gaze.
Those memories were the heaviest burden of his life.
……
The rain has not stopped, a faint mist has risen on the road, and Qi Changrong has hurried to come and go with an umbrella.
The huge umbrella obscured half of her vision.
A pair of black boots caught her eye, and she stopped, tilting the umbrella up slightly.
The man was masked, revealing a pair of eyes that were more venomous than a viper.
There are more and more people around, all dressed in the same outfit.
A strong murderous aura rushed to his face, Qi Changrong was not surprised, and calmly made the killer feel a little frightened.
But that doesn't mean they'll change their minds about assassinating her.
The black-clothed killers moved, and rushed over with Qi Changrong as the center without saying a word.
'Zheng' sounded, and the sword body was unsheathed.
Qi Changrong had a casual smile on his face, and the short blade of weeping blood came out of the cuff and was held in her hand.
It's a silent fight.
After a while, with a few plops, all the black-clothed people who came to assassinate her fell to the ground, with a thin line of blood between their necks that were faintly visible, and Qi Changrong's short blade of weeping blood was still as clean as ever, and there was no blood stain at all.
She looked calm and walked away.
As soon as she left, blood gushed from the wound in their necks, staining the rain red.
The Assassins were blind.
It wasn't until this moment that they learned that the news was wrong, and the prince of the East Palace of the Great Jin Dynasty was not as useless as rumored, but had a strange kung fu.
It's a pity that they can no longer send back such important news.
Qi Changrong's pace was gentle, and he approached the carriage unhurriedly.
Luo Yi waited by the carriage one step ahead of her, and was relieved to see her come out safely.
He was supposed to escort Qi Changrong back to the palace, and he also went out of the gate together, but His Royal Highness insisted that he take the first step halfway, so he had to obey orders.
Qi Changrong put away the umbrella and got into the car, paused before lowering the curtain, and said to Luo in a calm tone: "There was an accident inside, you take a few people in to deal with it, the rain will stop soon, don't scare the people." ”
Luo Yi didn't know why, and nodded yes.
When the carriage left, he put his hand to his mouth and whistled, and five secret guards in civilian clothes appeared around him in an instant.
Several people entered the alley together, and when they saw the corpses of the assassins all over the ground, their eyes were filled with extreme shock and fear.
One of them reluctantly calmed down: "Your Highness should be fine, in addition to us, there are two other teams secretly protecting her." ”
Several teams of secret guards did not interfere with each other, and only went out and hid on orders.
Moreover, the battlefield is clear and not chaotic, and the fight should be over in a short time, and only such an explanation can make sense.
Otherwise, how could it be possible for His Highness to escape safely from these people?
Luo shook his head, and one person carried a lifeless corpse and ran in the direction of the mass grave.
As for the blood on the ground, which had been washed away by the heavy rain, it would not be long before it would be able to completely enter the culvert, so they didn't have to deal with it.
The carriage drove to the sparsely populated main street, and the coachman asked softly, "Your Highness wants to go back to the palace?" ”
Qi Changrong's voice came out of the carriage: "Go to Baihu Alley." ”
"Yes."
The coachman was specially rewarded by Emperor Jin An, and his kung fu was not bad, but he didn't talk much, which is why Qi Changrong would take him out.
There were too many other words, and she had a headache when she was noisy.
Half an hour later, the first spring rain in Beijing finally dissipated, there were more and more pedestrians on the streets, all kinds of stalls were also set up, and the business of restaurants and teahouses was booming.
And in the slum of Lane 5, the children who were released by their parents did not know what had happened there, and they still had fun.
The coachman knocked on the door of the Jun's mansion, and the butler saw that the person who came was Qi Changrong, and he didn't even report it, so he immediately welcomed the person in with a smile on his face, and said: "It's raining heavily today, the general didn't go out, and the house is lively." ”
Qi Changrong walked inside, and asked curiously, "Is there a guest from the General's Mansion?" ”
The steward said apologetically: "It is the general's former playmate, if there is any offense, please forgive Your Highness." ”
Qi Chang looked clear and waved his hand indifferently.
The playmate she hadn't seen for more than ten years was too fierce for a while, and she understood that who hadn't been young and frivolous.
Qi Changrong boasted that she was used to seeing big scenes, but when she saw a room of stinky men who were about to get drunk or not, she was still uncontrollably silent.
There are also a few familiar faces in the house, and it seems that the famous gentlemen of Shangjing have gathered here.
Seeing her coming, Qi Ziruo, who was already a little cramped, was startled, and hurriedly got up and accidentally touched the wine cup on the table.
Qi was even more embarrassed on his face, he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and stammered: "It's too ...... Brother of the Prince. ”
Seeing Qi Ziruo, Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows in surprise, and without waiting for her to ask, Qi Ziruo confessed clearly.
"I told my mother before I left the palace, and my mother agreed to let me come out."
She still remembered that the prince's brother said that she should accompany Concubine Qin more, and explained first without saying a word, for fear that Qi Changrong would be angry if she misunderstood.
Zhao Yueqiu quietly blocked Qi Ziruo behind him: "Your Highness, it was the courtiers who took the thirteen princesses out of the palace, if Your Highness is to blame, blame the courtiers." ”
The crisp voices of the two girls woke up the almost drunk men in the house, and when they heard the condescending arrival of the prince of the East Palace, they all woke up in fright, and they didn't dare to breathe and knelt on the ground.
Jun Chen's face was slightly red, his mind was sober, as if he had not noticed the tense atmosphere in the room, and said casually: "Your Highness wants to heat the pot with us to eat?" ”
The tense atmosphere was relaxed in vain, Zhao Yueqiu was startled, and was about to open her mouth to relieve the siege, when she saw Qi Changrong stepping in.
She looked around, and there was no extra space.
Needless to say, the gentlemen, who had woken up half of the wine, immediately took their leave, and even the excuse to leave was almost the same.
Soon, the crowded table was empty again, more than enough for her alone.
Qi Changrong took a position in a dignified manner, smiled implicitly, and said, "Sit down." ”
The implication is that she wants to eat a hot pot.
Qi Ziruo sat down tremblingly, buried his head in his chest, and looked like he had done something wrong.
Zhao Yueqiu also reacted, and hurriedly ordered outside: "Come to the next table of new dishes, and get a new pair of dishes and chopsticks." ”
As for Junchen, who invited her, seeing that a room of people was running two points faster than rabbits, she couldn't help but wrinkle her eyebrows and complain.
"A bunch of guts bastard."
Jun Chen is an indifferent character, and Zhao Yueqiu is a daughter, so she is afraid of falling into her mouth, and she is not too attentive to the prince of the East Palace.
The heavy responsibility of introducing the hot pot to Qi Changrong fell on Qi Ziruo.
As soon as she wanted to speak, she saw that Qi Changrong had already eaten the hot soup and hot dishes skillfully, and her expression was calm and without a trace of restraint.
The words were useless before they came out of his mouth, and Qi Ziruo had no choice but to swallow the words back.
Xu is drunkenness came up, and the more Jun Chen looked at her, the more she felt like a little white face, without a little manhood.
So, he said: "Your Highness, what's the taste of just eating vegetables, why don't we fight wine?" ”
Qi Changrong stopped his chopsticks and glanced at him.
The corners of Zhao Yueqiu's mouth twitched, and she wanted to play a round, but she heard Qi Changrong say calmly: "Why not, but what is the bet?" ”
Jun Chen dangled with the wine glass and squinted his eyes: "The loser must unconditionally agree to the winner's request." ”
Qi Changrong nodded: "Yes." ”
Qi Changrong's promise is not valuable, but the promise of the prince of the East Palace is extremely valuable.
That's a big deal.
Zhao Yueqiu and Qi Ziruo glanced at each other, and realized in vain that the two people in front of them were not something they could discipline or interfere with.
The two of them drank cup after cup.
Junchen was full of confidence, believing that he would never lose to Xiaobaiyan, but the more he drank, the more he felt that something was wrong.
The wine is a strong liquor, and the more he drinks, the more dizzy he feels, but Qi Changrong seems to be more and more sober the more he drinks, drinking wine is like drinking water, seeing the two jars of wine in his stomach, his eyes are still as sober as at the beginning.
Sensing Jun Chen's gaze, Qi Changrong was drinking smoothly, and suddenly opened his eyelids to look at him, smiling very reservedly: "What's wrong?" ”
Jun Chen asked as if unintentionally: "Your Highness has a good amount of wine?" ”
Qi Changrong paused: "It's not bad, there are many banquets in the palace, and I often taste wine, if I don't know how to drink, I may be laughed at." ”
The last sentence is an explanation.
Jun Chen believed it, and felt more and more that she couldn't drink herself, so she was arrogant in her heart, picked up a wine jar with one hand, and said arrogantly: "It's boring to drink too much with a wine glass, do you dare to make an altar?" ”
He slept and drank with the soldiers in the barracks, and he was very arrogant, and there was a gangster in his style of acting and gestures, and he couldn't learn to be gentle and polite among the nobles in Beijing.
Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows, but he was not deterred.
So, Zhao Yueqiu and Qi Ziruo watched them fight in horror.
In Qi Ziruo's heart, the royal brother has always been elegant and gentle, and when talking to people, she looks very educated, with a full sense of distance.
Zhao Yueqiu secretly touched Qi Ziruo, and secretly said dumbfounded: "It turns out that the prince has such a good amount of wine, what does the thirteenth princess have in mind now?" ”
"In the past, I always thought that the prince's brother was the bright moon in the sky, close in front of me and far away in the sky, but now...... It seems to have descended to earth. ”
Zhao Yueqiu nodded, covered her mouth and chuckled: "The prince's style is chic, and it is eye-catching to look at, but the more my cousin looks at it, the more he looks like a bandit, not like a general." ”
The more the two talked, the more interesting it became, and they were afraid that drinking too much would hurt their bodies, so they were busy picking up all kinds of vegetables and putting them in the bowl, and persuaded them to eat a few more bites.
This wine was drunk until the evening, until Junchen was about to vomit, Qi Changrong still did not blush or breathe, and looked at him with clear eyes.
Junchen is a knowledgeable person, so he was afraid that he would really drink and vomit and be embarrassed after a while, so he hurriedly made a gesture to stop.
