Chapter 65: Ambush again
"Then you and Ning Liang stay and wait for her, and I'll go back to the city to have a look." Zhao Xinyue's heart was like an arrow, she saw with her own eyes that black gas rushing straight to Ji Chaoge's face, if she couldn't see him safe and sound, she was really uneasy.
Let her go back to the city alone, how can Shirakura be willing? He immediately grabbed the reins of the horse and said solemnly: "Your Highness, in the hearts of the slaves, you are more important than anything else. The county lord is accompanied by the guards of the palace, so it should be fine, so let the slave accompany you back to the city. ”
Zhao Xinyue was right when she thought about it, Ji Qingqing not only had the guards of the palace on her side, but also the shadow guards sent by Ji Chaoge to guard her, just looking for a place to place the coffin of the old prince, there should be no problems.
"It's okay, you can go back to the city with me!"
It's just that Zhao Xinyue never thought that it was her underestimated enemy at this time that almost killed Ji Qingqing's life. No one thought that the hands hidden behind the back would be so vicious, bound to subvert the entire Nanyang.
went out of the city in a carriage, and in order to take care of Ji Qingqing, he took a long but flat official road. Now that Zhao Xinyue returned to the city, she didn't have so many scruples, and directly picked up the nearest path back to the city and galloped wildly, and after a while, she saw the north gate of Nanyang close in front of her.
"Your Highness, you can go back to the city through this birch forest." The castle tower was close in front of her, and Shirakura finally breathed a sigh of relief. Strange to say, I didn't even see half a figure along the way, and I couldn't hear the sound of people when I passed by a few villages, and it was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy.
Zhao Xinyue didn't slow down, she still rode her horse and galloped, just wanting to go back to the city as soon as possible to make sure that Ji Chaoge was okay. So, when she saw the barricades that suddenly appeared at the fork in the road, it was too late to slow down.
Since it's too late, then simply bet on speeding up! Zhao Xinyue had the ruthlessness of a gambler in her bones, and the cold light flashed in her starry eyes, and she suddenly clamped the horse's belly and forced the horse to spread its hooves and jump over the head of the person who was ambushed behind the barricade.
"Damn, I skipped it!" The man in black said angrily, he didn't expect Zhao Xinyue to dare to jump over their heads without his life!
Bai Sakura saw that His Royal Highness had been freed, so she simply followed the example of His Highness and forced the horse to jump over, and when the horse jumped in the air, she also took out the long knife under the saddle and slashed the man in black. The slash quickly pulled away, and the horse's hooves carried the white cherry blossom with the long knife in his hand, and the man in black turned over and chased after him desperately.
"Your Highness, they're catching up." Bai Ying quickly caught up with Zhao Xinyue, clenched the long knife in her hand, and turned around from time to time to slash at the nearest man in black. "Your Highness, you go first, and the slave and maid will be cut off."
"Cut off your big-headed ghost, run for me!" Zhao Xinyue rode her horse and galloped, took the time to look back at the man in black who was chasing after her, and without even raising her hand, she whipped it on Bai Ying's buttocks, forcing the horse under her crotch to spread its hooves and run wildly.
Just these two little bean sprouts, it is estimated that it is not enough for the man in black behind him to stuff his teeth. How unpeaceful is this Nanyang, what does Ying Qingshan's city protector do to eat? In the past, Ji Chaoge's father's grave was dug up, and then there were men in black who chased and killed her, the eldest princess of the dynasty!
"Ying Qingshan, you bastard!" The more Zhao Xinyue thought about it, the more angry she became, and she directly counted the black pot on Ying Qingshan's head.
What about the captain of the city guard, all his energy is put into chasing women, right? Look at the eighteen concubines he married, when he goes back, he will definitely find someone to cut off his third leg.
Bai Ying was stunned, what does this have to do with Ying Duwei? Could it be that these men in black were sent by Qingshan? Thinking about it like this, the long knife in Bai Sakura's hand fell even more ruthlessly, and she had a great posture of fighting to the death with the man in black.
"What else to fight, the city gate is in front, rush over in one go!" Zhao Xinyue was really angry enough, and when she saw that Bai Ying actually slowed down to fight with the man in black, she immediately shouted angrily.
There were many people on the other side, Bai Sakura didn't dare to fight, she picked up her long knife and continued to hurry, seeing that she was about to step on the hanging feet leading to the north city gate, and she didn't know where a feather flew from and went straight to His Highness! "Your Highness, be careful!"
Hearing Bai Ying's voice, Zhao Xinyue subconsciously turned around, and saw that the cold arrow was coming, and the person was on the back of a galloping horse, but it was too late to hide! She clearly understood in her heart that she couldn't hide, and since she couldn't hide, it was better to try to get hurt as much as possible.
"Leave me alone, keep running, and go back to Changlin to save me." Zhao Xinyue turned her body in a twisted posture, trying to avoid the position of her heart, and let the cold arrow fall on her shoulder.
With a muffled pop, the galloping cold arrow shot through the Luo skirt on her body, and passed through her shoulders fiercely! And she herself was shot off her horse by the strong force of the cold arrow, and fell into the rushing river under the drawbridge, and was swept away by the river in the blink of an eye.
The moment she fell into the water, Zhao Xinyue had only one thought in her mind, that is, it was best not to let her know who was plotting against her, otherwise she would be full of blood! Dare to shoot her in the street, what a big dog's guts.
The man in black's purpose was to capture her alive, and he didn't expect that a cold arrow would suddenly appear and shoot her into the water. The leader of the men in black chased to the moat, glanced at the rushing river, and his heart sank to the bottom.
It is reported that the eldest princess of Jingyang does not know the nature of water, and now she is seriously injured and fell from such a high suspension bridge. But the buyers behind the scenes have repeatedly told them to catch the work, how is this good?
"Chief, what should I do?" One of the black-clothed men was carrying a Lotus Moon scimitar and asked sullenly.
The leader of the man in black frowned, pointed downstream and said: "Zhao Xinyue is not watery, she should be washed downstream because of the turbulence of this river, you go downstream to search, be sure to catch it alive." ”
"Yes, Chief." The man in black took the order and quickly left, and in a few moments disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
The leader of the men in black stood on the suspension bridge overlooking the moat, and looked and saw that Zhao Xinyue had been washed away by the river, so he left with an unwilling horse.
"Whew, suffocate me!" The sound of water suddenly sounded, and then a red figure surfaced, who is it not Zhao Xinyue?
Caught alive? The purpose of these people is not to kill her, but to capture her? Zhao Xinyue quietly changed her breath, rowed under the bridge with buoyancy, tied herself to the hole in the bridge pier with her belt, and relaxed her body and let the turbulent river carry her up and down.
Floating on the water, Zhao Xinyue began to think about who leaked her whereabouts, and who ambushed her here in advance to capture her alive? Fortunately, the river was cold and biting, but it made her wound less painful, so that she could think calmly.
Now the biggest conflict with her should be Qin Fengya, but Qin Fengya is now recuperating in the palace, and all she is thinking about is how to marry into the palace smoothly, and she shouldn't have the spare time to ambush her in advance.
However, there are exceptions to everything, as long as she is still there, even if Qin Fengya successfully marries into the palace, she will always be a concubine. The county lord of the dignified fief succumbed to the concubine room, and this result may not satisfy the appetite of King Qinyang.
If the man in black knew her thoughts, he would definitely drop his jaw, because although Zhao Xinyue didn't guess all right, he didn't leave ten. The person who designed the ambush and arrested her in advance was none other than the King of Qinyang, who was thousands of miles away.
After staying in the water for about half an hour, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the suspension bridge, and Zhao Xinyue was afraid that the black-clothed man before would go and return, so he hurriedly loosened his belt and dived down the bridge pier. As soon as the water reached the top, a familiar call was heard.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, where are you, Your Highness! White Sakura slammed on the bridge deck, looking at the rushing river and shouting heartbreakingly.
Is the white cherry blossom coming? Zhao Xinyue put her mind at ease, and hurriedly surfaced and shouted: "I'm here, put a fishing net down and carry me up, I'm running out of strength." ”
There were two water sounds, Zhao Xinyue was splashed by the water and couldn't open her eyes, and just about to scold that bastard, her cold body was tightly hugged into her arms, and the tip of her nose lingered with the familiar scent of sandalwood.
"Why are you here, have you been poisoned?" Zhao Xinyue pulled into his belt with one hand and held his face with the other, seeing that there seemed to be black gas lingering between his eyebrows, his heart couldn't stop twitching. "The poison hasn't been solved yet, what are you doing when you run out?"
Ji Chaoge held the rope with one hand and hugged her tightly in his arms with the other, and only by hugging her tightly did he feel a little safe. "I heard Bai Ying say that you were ambushed, and I was so panicked that I simply followed."
"You don't want to die? I haven't solved the poison yet, what are you doing with me? Zhao Xinyue was moved and anxious, wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, and gently leaned on his heart to listen to his powerful heartbeat.
"If something happens to you, what's the difference if you can't understand it." Ji Chaoge lowered his head against her forehead, and whispered between his snorts.
Zhao Xinyue's heart beat out of rhythm, this man is really distressed, this is loving her with his own life. At the moment when each other was caught in a fishing net and raised to the surface, Zhao Xinyue made a decision, she decided to stop the avoidance soup and gamble on a child belonging to the two of them with the future of Jingyang and the royal family.
"Ji Jue, let's have a baby." The cool breeze whistled by, but Zhao Xinyue hugged his waist and smiled like a fool.
The feather that pierced her shoulder was still there, and the wound was whitened by the river, but she didn't seem to feel pain, and her eyes smiled at him brightly.
Ji Chaoge only felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart, burning his face red and his throat tight. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Looking at the two of them, Li Huaijin, who was soaking wet, showed bitterness on his face, coughed twice and reminded: "Lord Ji, the cold wind is biting, His Royal Highness is soaked and injured, do you change this wet clothes first and then talk about anything else?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xinyue sneezed, and just as she was about to speak, she was already being held in her arms by Ji Chaoge, and she was sent to the carriage of the palace in three or two steps. Bai Sakura moved extremely fast, didn't even say hello, quickly broke Ling Yu's tail, and before she came to her senses, she directly pulled the cold arrow out of the wound.
"Hmm, it hurts Shirakura!"
After soaking in cold water for a long time, the wound had been soaked white, and now she quickly pulled out the cold arrow like this, and the sharp pain of the skin and flesh forced her face to be whiter than the wound.
