Chapter 268: You Did It On Purpose
In the carriage, Ming Yue lifted the curtain: "They set off one step ahead of us." β
Seeing that he was also in the carriage, Xia Qingtong quickly got into the car, and he didn't care about it for a while, he "throw" Ming Yue yesterday.
"Did they leave first?" As soon as Xia Qingtong sat down, he looked at Ming Yue with a nervous expression: "Why don't you stop it?" β
If it is a matter of salt mines, it has nothing to do with Mingyue. Those people will definitely attack Chen and Li.
In this way, Ming Yue returned to Beijing alive, but the two adults Chen and Li, who had evidence, died.
Anyone can figure out the key to this. At this time, let Chen and Li go on the road first? Doesn't that force them into dangerous situations?
"You also saw that when I came to Qiongshan, so many assassins wanted to kill me. If I stop it. Wouldn't they be in danger too? β
Ming Yue raised his eyebrows, and his expression was a little playful.
That being said, Xia Qingtong always felt that something was wrong.
"If they weren't with us, they wouldn't have met the assassins who had killed us. But what about themselves? Xia Qingtong thought of the assassination they encountered last time, and suddenly grabbed Ming Yue's sleeve hard: "Chen and Li may not be really in danger. Have you sent them enough guards? Do you have someone to protect them? β
She didn't believe what she could figure out, and Mingyue wouldn't know.
"Naturally, there is."
Ming Yue's words did not put Xia Qingtong at ease, but she was more worried.
The assassination that night was too tragic and thrilling. Chen and Li have been in contact with each other during this time, although they are a little sleek and afraid, but they are still good officials.
It was right not to follow them back to Beijing. After all, the murderer who wanted to kill Ming Yue has not yet been found.
But what if the Yin family makes a move against the two adults? She really didn't want anything to happen to them.
"Don't worry. There are far more people who want to kill me than those two adults. β
This is reasonable, looking at it this way, it will be safer for Chen and Li not to go with them.
Xia Qingtong put away his worries, and instead began to worry about their journey.
The carriage slowly drove out of Lucheng, and Zheng Xing had already been imprisoned. The current Lucheng is too guarded, and it is temporarily replaced by the general army of Lucheng.
Zheng Xing and his party will be escorted to Beijing to wait for Emperor Qingren's ruling.
"Then Zheng Xingβ"
"Don't worry." looked at her hand that was still holding her sleeve: "The soldiers are divided into three ways." escorted Chen and Li all the way, and escorted Zheng Xing all the way to Beijing. Are you relieved? β
Ming Yue was surrounded by masters, Xia Qingtong nodded, and finally put his mind at ease.
Just wanted to withdraw his hand, but Ming Yue grabbed her hand at this time: "So worried about the safety of Chen and Li. Are you afraid that I won't be able to get out when I go back? β
Xia Qingtong withdrew his hand: "I naturally have to worry." After all, I still have a cooperative relationship with the Six Princes. β
Ming Yue looked at her with a hard mouth and didn't poke it. Instead, he calmly instructed Chai Jiu outside to set off.
Xia Qingtong knew what he wanted, but her sense of instability would not be enough for her to agree to Ming Yue.
Let's wait until this crisis is over. After all, no one knows what they will encounter on the way back.
β¦β¦
Compared with the rush when I came, the pace on the way back was much slower.
Slow, not only slow, but calm.
As early as when he was out of the city, Xia Qingtong thought about it. The way back will not be smooth.
Thinking of such a murderous gangster on Jade Mountain, Xia Qingtong was ready.
Because there is always a fear of the danger that does not know when it will appear. caused Xia Qingtong to keep his heart.
On the way, she was not in the mood to do a live broadcast, and she didn't hear Ming Yue's questions about spying on her from time to time.
Her absent-mindedness was too obvious. At first, Ming Yue thought that she was still running away from his question.
After two or three days, I realized what she was thinking.
"Don't worry, those people don't dare to do it."
Ming Yue's expression was full of determination. In the past few days since I left Lucheng, the wind and waves have been calm, and there is no danger.
Don't dare to do it?
Xia Qingtong looked at him with some suspicion: "Those people who came to the post station last time to do it, although it is not a blue sky and a white day. But so openly come and assassinate, do you think they will not dare? β
"They also need to have enough menpower." Ming Yue was still calm: "Last time, it was good at the post station, or in Yushan." They had already sent their strongest assassins. You think it's easy to raise a dead man? β
"Since you said there would be no danger, why did you let the two adults go first?"
It simply doesn't make sense.
"Just in case." Ming Yue was quite frank: "It's best if there is no danger, in case there is anything, the two adults can also avoid it." Isn't it? β
Xia Qingtong looked at Ming Yue and always felt that the problem was not so simple.
"Don't worry. With me, you won't be in danger. β
Ming Yue looked at the worry on Xia Qingtong's face, and leaned forward slightly: "If it's really just in case." I'll go with you to Yellow Springs. How about being a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate? β
Xia Qingtong: ......
Never mind. When she didn't say.
The next journey, as Ming Yue said, was a little incredibly calm.
There were no assassins, no pursuits, not even a single bandit.
In this strange smoothness, they are getting closer and closer to the capital.
β¦β¦
When Xia Qingtong got off the carriage, it was already dusk.
I looked up at the post station in front of me. When they left the capital, they settled here. Stay here for one night. Leave early tomorrow morning. Half a day to the capital.
If there are still people who want to assassinate Ming Yue, tonight, this post station is the best place to start.
Once they really return to the capital, it will not be so easy for those people to start like they are now.
"What's wrong with the girl?"
Xia Qingtong glanced at the red cherry blossoms, and then shook his head: "I don't know, there is always a bad premonition." β
"The girl is too careful, and His Royal Highness has arranged it so thoughtfully and meticulously. The guards are enough, and it will be okay to think about it. β
Red Sakura knew that this time she was in Yushan, which scared Xia Qingtong. Now that we are about to enter Beijing, this place is indeed the last chance for those behind the scenes.
Never mind. She should believe that Ming Yue is.
"Let's go. Let's go inside. β
Entering the post station, Xia Qingtong saw a few acquaintances inside.
It's Ming Yue's subordinates, and this will be there.
She couldn't help but glance at the red cherry blossoms, Ming Yue came in after them, and the people he arranged stepped forward to salute Ming Yue as soon as possible.
"Your Highness."
"What's going on? Didn't you ask you to protect the safety of Chen and Li? β
"Your Highness. Lord Chen fell ill on the road. Xu was cold in Lucheng and his illness has not been good. I had been holding on to the road. I didn't expect that a few days ago, I couldn't even get out of bed. Originally, I wanted to let Master Li go to Beijing, but I didn't expect that Lord Li would also follow the patient. The two adults are too sick to get up, so we can only delay here. β
"How so?" Ming Yue's eyes flashed with concern: "Are you very sick?" β
"Yes." The guard looked up at Ming Yue, his eyes were a little complicated.
"I'll take a look."
Seeing this, Xia Qingtong hurriedly followed.
Chen Dong and Li Liang are in the upstairs guest room, one room for one person. Near the stairs was Chen Dong's room, and as soon as Xia Qingtong and Ming Yue entered, they smelled a burst of medicine.
That Chen Dong slept on the bed, and he didn't know what was going on.
Ming Yue looked at his pale face: "Have you asked for a doctor?" Why are you so sick? β
"Your Highness." The guard didn't kneel down in front of Ming Yue until he returned to the room: "I beg Your Highness to punish you." Poor protection of subordinates. Along the way, we experienced at least five assassinations. Every time, it's for the two adults. We have kung fu on our bodies, but the two adults are Wenchen. Although the subordinates tried their best to protect them, they still injured the two adults. β
The guards briefly said what kind of battles they encountered on the road.
The more he spoke, the more ugly Mingyue's face became.
"Badly hurt?"
"Your Highness. Both adults were seriously injured. The doctor said that whether he can survive tonight depends on Chen Dafang. As for Master Li, he almost only had one breath left. β
Xia Qingtong couldn't help but go to see Ming Yue. After Ming Yue saw Chen Dong's injury, he turned around and went to Li Liang's room next door.
Compared with Chen Dong, Li Liang was wrapped like a mummy.
Ming Yue stepped forward to probe, and sure enough, there was more gas out and less air in.
"Your Highness's forgiveness of sins is the fault of your subordinates."
"Did the people who did it catch it?"
"Got it. There was also a living mouth. β
"Where are the people?"
Ming Yue asked where the Assassins were being held, and went downstairs.
Xia Qingtong glanced at Li Liang's tragic state, and then at Ming Yue's back.
The worries along the way became true at this time, they really didn't have an accident, but the people who had an accident became Chen Dong and Li Ran.
Xia Qingtong glanced at Li Liang deeply, turned around, and chased Ming Yue's figure downstairs.
Ming Yue went to the room where the Assassin was being held, and there were at least five guards guarding the Assassin.
As she went down, she happened to hear one of them say.
"The others are dead, and these two are left alive. After going back, let Lord Qingye torture, I believe they will definitely recruit. β
Ming Yue did not object: "Take care of the people and enter Beijing tomorrow." β
After explaining, he found that Xia Qingtong had been following him.
"Didn't you say you're tired? Why didn't you go to rest? β
Xia Qingtong's concern for Shang Mingyue's eyes, she thought of another thing.
"Didn't you say that you would have people protect them? Or did you already guess it? β
She couldn't believe that such a thing would happen when she was about to enter the capital.
If their people go with them, will Chen Dong and Li Liang be fine?
No, it's not. She knew very well in her heart that Ming Yue would not let them go with her team.
Because his original purpose was to fish out the assassins behind the scenes.
"I guessed it." Ming Yue did not hide his intentions at the beginning: "I did guess it a long time ago, and I did deliberately lead those people to do it." It's just that I didn't expect them to make such a big battle. β
"You-"
Xia Qingtong looked at Ming Yue, she didn't know what she could say.
She has always known that there is a gap between herself and Mingyue.
Today's incident was the first time she realized where the gap between her and Ming Yue was. Take a look at the latest chapter of "I Was an Internet Celebrity Paw Book House in Ancient Times" to read for free for the first time.
