Chapter XVII

In the early morning, the sunlight passed through the paper window of the inn through the thin mist, and sprinkled on Mei Qi who was lying on the bed, causing a shallow halo around her.

Mei Qi was shrouded in the warm sun and woke up slowly.

When she looked down to dress, she saw the unicorn jade hanging around her neck and being illuminated by a ray of sunlight.

Reaching out and caressing, the moist touch wrapped around her fingertips, which felt the same as the feeling that Zhao Youyi once gave her, delicate and warm.

But after last night, she felt that Zhao Youyi was by no means as ignorant and weak as he appeared.

Not only that, but he is also a scheming person, at least he concealed the fact that he knew martial arts.

However, if you think about it carefully, Zhao Youyi is in the whirlpool of the struggle for imperial power, if the edge is exposed, it is easy to become the target of the public, and Taoguang can become the final winner.

As for her and him, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, so why does she need to go to the troubled waters of the royal family and ask for trouble.

After a brief clean-up and washing, Mei Qi picked up her baggage and walked out of the room.

"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen a boy or girl who looks like this?"

When she walked to the entrance of the wooden ladder and was about to go downstairs, she suddenly heard a familiar voice, it was Ali!

How did she chase after her so quickly?

"I said this girl, just a painting, are you looking for a son or a girl?" The innkeeper was a little impatient.

"Don't talk nonsense, you show me clearly, have you seen it, be careful of your head!"

There was the sound of a sword unsheathed.

"Woman, spare your life, I'll take a closer look, take a closer look!" The shopkeeper's voice was tinged with a cry.

Mei Qi said that it was not good, and hurriedly returned to the original house, flew down from the window near the backyard, and found his horse in the stable, ready to slip away quietly.

A fierce sword aura struck from behind, she subconsciously bent down to avoid it, turned around and pulled out the jade bone fan on her waist, opened it, activated the mechanism, and the tip of the fan bone turned into an extremely sharp flying knife in an instant, she quickly pulled out one of them, and shot hard at the person who attacked her in front of her.

The man's quick reaction flashed by, as if he had known that she would make such a move.

Looks like a tough opponent!

She performed light skills, and was ready to escape with the best light skills.

Unexpectedly, several masked masters flew out from all directions, blocking her way.

Standing in the middle of the group, Mei Qi looked vigilantly at the eight people in front of her who were holding swords around her.

"Who's coming?" There will be a fierce battle today, and if you don't know Qingqing's life, she will explain it here, but if she dies, she must also know why she died!

The masked men were not interested in answering her at all, and one of them raised his hand to make a forward gesture to the others, and they all raised their swords and stabbed at her.

Look at these people, they should all be men, how can she beat eight men with strong martial arts.

She waved the jade bone fan in her hand with one hand to resist the attack, and shot out a throwing knife with the other, barely protecting herself, but the flying knife shot a dart that was not like the master's and could fly back. She's running out of ammunition!

On the ground lay three masked men with flying knives, motionless.

And Mei Qi's neck was also covered with a cold sword, and the sharp blade made her neck dripping with warm blood.

With a "click", the unicorn jade hanging around the neck was cut off due to the lanyard and fell to the ground.

The afterglow was aim, but fortunately, the jade was not shattered because of this.

"Helpβ€”"

She suddenly remembered that Ali was in the inn, and shouted at the top of her voice. Hoping that God will bless her, Ali can hear and rush to save her.

"Let her go!" A nice male voice came into Mei Qi's ears, like a savior.

"Big brother!" As soon as she saw her brother, she instantly felt that she was saved.

Her senior brother has the true inheritance of his master and his martial arts are extraordinary, and these people should be a piece of cake for her senior brother.

Mei Yi spun into the air, and threw out the fan in his hand, which was like his master's dart, whirring towards the necks of the group of people, so fast that people didn't seem to see the fan that was spinning rapidly.

One, two, three, and those who were a little farther away from Mei Qi all fell, leaving only the two people standing beside her holding swords against her.

The fan flew back into Mei Yi's hand, and he looked at the two people beside the little junior sister, and his thin lips raised a beautiful arc.

He gently shook the fan in his hand and sneered at the two of them, "I said, if you don't want to die, you should know how to do it." ”

When the two men heard this, they shook off their swords and fled in a hurry.

"A bunch of rats!"

Mei Yi said disdainfully, and stepped forward to support the little junior sister who was a little weak.

"Little junior sister, are you okay?" Looking at the blood stains on Mei Qi's neck, Mei Yi was a little annoyed that she was late.

After the little prince left last night, he drank a big jar of wine in the wine shop alone, and he was very drunk, and he got up late this morning, and almost made a big mistake.

"It's okay, Senior Brother can be counted in time, thank Senior Brother for saving his life." Mei Qi grinned and smiled at her senior brother.

"You, it's a worry!" Mei Yi originally wanted to touch Xiao Qi's hair, but when he thought that the little prince might leave a secret guard to keep an eye on them, he took back his outstretched hand.

Zhao Xiaowangye's jealousy is comparable to that of his master, and none of those two people can be provoked by him.

Mei Qi touched the empty neck, thinking that Zhao Youyi's unicorn jade had fallen to the ground, and searched for it on the ground in a little hurry.

Mei Yi looked at the little junior sister as if she was looking for something, and hurriedly asked, "Little junior sister, what are you looking for?" ”

"A piece of unicorn jade, just dropped."

"Then I'll look for it with you."

Mei Qi suddenly noticed that there was an object shining with a dazzling luster not far from him, it was Qilin Jade!

She muttered in her heart: Fortunately, she didn't lose it, otherwise how would she return it to Zhao Youyi in the future.

Picking up the unicorn jade, he was secretly glad that he was about to tell his senior brother that he had found it, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of multiple black shadows rushing towards them quickly.

"Instigation-" A dagger flew towards them faster than the figure, stabbing straight at Mei Yi's back.

Mei Yi turned her back to those black shadows, and was seriously looking for the unicorn jade on the ground, not realizing that the surroundings were already full of dangers.

"Senior brother, be careful!" Mei Qi stepped forward and pushed Mei Yi away, preparing to block this knife for his senior brother.

Mei Yi reacted very quickly, he fluttered and hugged Mei Qi firmly, and with a muffled snort, the dagger stabbed deep into his back!

Mei Qi froze, looking at the senior brother in front of him who was grinning in pain, his eyes were red.

She's a bad spirit!

But the current situation does not allow her to be more emotional.

The elder brother's body became limp, needless to say that the dagger was quenched with poison.

She supported her senior brother to the side and leaned against a big tree, took out a jade bone fan, and stared at the black shadows flying one after another with a stern expression.

There were more than ten people in front of him, and they must be accomplices who moved in with the two people who left just now.

She suddenly remembered Master's words, "Xiao Qi, if you can't bear others, you are forcing yourself and others into a desperate situation, understand?" ”

Now she understood.

If she had killed those two people just now, why would she and her senior brother end up like this?

Master.......
