Chapter 194: Lu Jingheng's death
With the golden medicine given by Lin Qianxue, Xia Qian's wound healed quickly, but the black and purple poison quickly spread to the whole body.
On the seventh day, her eyelids and lips were black and purple.
In order not to be discovered, Xia Qian deliberately painted herself with heavy makeup.
Yu Nuan hurriedly ran up and said that there was news in southern Xinjiang.
After Huo Zun escaped from Nankang, he reached an alliance with Simon and captured the two cities of Jinkuo and Mengxun, and the letters sent from Nanjiang were all urgent, and the families of many soldiers of the Nanshan battalion received the letters from home.
Xia Qian ran to the window and looked at the street, and the people on the street were all smiling.
In one day, she saw the messenger pass by the teahouse nine times, but did not stop in front of it.
The poison of Ji Hui made her vision blurred, and her whole body shivered with cold, Yu Nuan searched for a few days in Qinglong City, but she didn't find the assassin sent by Nankang, and she looked at Xia Qian, who had been deeply poisoned, and was anxious.
"Young lady, those people are here for you, why don't we go out for a walk and see if we can lure them out. Leyi Mansion doesn't intend to take your life, things should have a turnaround! Yu Nuan said anxiously.
"Well, I just wanted to take a walk with that official outside the South City Gate!" Xia Qian sighed and stepped out of bed.
Yu Nuan took her a cloak, and after preparing the carriage, the two went out of the south gate.
In fact, not long after the carriage left the South City Gate, Xia Qian got off the car, and she wanted to stand at the position where she had jumped into the river.
"Young lady, young master, he ......" Yu Nuan's mouth was half open, and the rest of the words were not continued.
Xia Qian stared at the surging river, chuckled, and sighed: "Shanmenghai swore a lot, but he still can't believe me after all!" ”
"Young lady, don't be too sad, in the past four months, the young master must have suffered a lot. It's human nature to be suspicious of us! ”
She looked at the sky to the south, exhaled a long breath and said, "That's it, come with me!" ”
The two of them walked all the way west along the Xuyu River, and after walking less than two miles, Yu Nuan's brows were lightly locked.
"Why, you came up so quickly?" Xia Qian sneered.
"Young lady, you go and hide in the pavilion in front for a while, these people will be handed over to the slaves and maids, and I will definitely force them to hand over the antidote!" Yu Nuan said, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The pavilion in front of Xia Qian is very familiar, it is the place where she and Lin Qianxue, Situ Jun, Que Ming, and Tuoba Jin played cards and cooked hot pot during the Spring Festival, this place was once bought by Lin Qianxue, and it was sold before leaving the city.
The buyer should have been too busy to clean up until now.
She walked to the attic and found a crack in the door, just enough to turn sideways to enter.
Her vision was blurred and her body was weak, and after leaving Yunuan, she had a lot more difficulty moving.
After thinking about it, he went into the attic.
The walls on all four sides of the first floor are covered with paintings, and in the middle of the house there is a screen and a few tables with a few calligraphy and paintings hanging from the table.
Xia Qian sat in a corner, listening to the faint sound of footsteps and sword fighting outside, and her mind was in chaos.
The only reason why Le Yifu didn't kill her was that she was still conducive to value, and this value didn't need to be thought about at this moment to know that it was aimed at Huo Zun.
Huo Zun could not trust her, but she would never betray him, let alone affect him.
Yu Nuan knew this, so she didn't let her face these Nankang visitors.
The footsteps outside were chaotic, and the sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, and soon the attic door was split, and three black-clad people walked in.
"Now kneel down and beg me, it's too late!" The man in black who walked in front said.
Xia Qian opened her eyes, looked at each other coldly, and said disdainfully: "Please, why?" ”
"The rewards and punishments in the Leyi Mansion are clear, if it weren't for the mercy of the adults, you would have gone to see the king of Hades a long time ago. Two days later, the poison of Ji Yuan will make you bleed to death, if you want to live, write a letter immediately to ask Huo Zun to withdraw his troops! The black-clothed man looked at her with a hideous face.
"Haha!" Xia Qian looked up and laughed as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and said contemptuously: "You think too highly of me, he doesn't even reply to my letters, why would he listen to me!" ”
"Since you don't have this ability, what's the use of keeping you?" The black-clothed man drew his sword and slashed at the top of her head.
Wow –
With a crisp sound, the sword-drawing man standing in front of Xia Qian was pierced by a sharp arrow from a crossbow.
The other two black-clothed men immediately turned back to be on guard, but before they could find a match, they arrived one by one.
The bolt wasn't long, but it was deadly.
Xia Qian looked around in panic, and only took a breath when a green-clothed and a crossbow appeared in her eyes.
"Why are you still in Blue Dragon City?" She asked.
Lu Jingheng looked at her, smiled calmly, and said, "The investigation was too strict, and I didn't find a chance to escape." Are you a fine work sent by Nankang? ”
Xia Qian nodded, thought about it, and began to shake her head again.
"Poisoned?"
"Hmm!"
The door once again remembered the chaotic footsteps, and Lu Jingheng immediately protected her behind him.
Xia Qian found that the other party's back was full of bloodstains, and he must have been injured a lot when he fled.
He quickly ripped off a calligraphy and painting and put it on her, hid behind the screen, and fought several men in black who rushed in, killing them all.
"Once this place is surrounded, it will be difficult to fly, follow me!" Lu Jingheng helped her up and quickly walked out of the attic.
This person, she trusted at first, then she didn't fully believe it, and later she didn't believe it at all, but in order to survive, she had to pin a glimmer of hope on him.
The poisoning is deep, and it is difficult to protect one's life, so what else is there to worry about?
The two of them went all the way west along the Xuyu River, and before they reached the ferry, they met seven or eight black-clothed people.
Lu Jingheng looked at the person who came, took out a pill from his waist, and before Xia Qian could react, he had already stuffed it into her mouth.
"This pill was given to me by the host of Fahua Temple, but it is not poisonous, and it should be able to unravel the poison on your body. Also, there are a lot of people who sold you to Simon, and I'm my father! He learned that I had helped you escape, and he did something out of it, and wrote the letter in imitation of my handwriting! Lu Jingheng's eyes locked on the black-clothed man opposite, and said word by word.
Xia Qian's legs were weak, her vision was blurred, and those black people were in a trance in front of her, far and near, more and less.
Although she heard Lu Jingheng's words in her heart, she didn't react in the slightest in her mind.
She remembered that he dragged her around the bushes and rocky mountains for a long time with the black-clothed clothes, and then she was so weak that she could no longer run, and collapsed on the grass in a daze.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear him call her name a few times, as if to ask her for forgiveness or something like that, she tried to open her eyelids to look at him, but her eyes were dark and dreary, and she never saw his face at that moment.
The next day, when Xia Qian woke up, Yu Nuan said that Lu Jingheng was dead, he was too seriously injured in the melee yesterday, and there were old injuries on his body.
As soon as those black clothes were killed by them, the people from the pro-military camp came, and Lu Jingheng said that those black clothes came to assassinate him, because he not only had interests with Simon, but also had an exchange of interests with Nankang.
King Kang was afraid of being betrayed by him, so he let him take his life.
"Qingqing Zijin, your heart! When I first entered Qinglong City, I thought he was as gentle as jade, and he must be a good man who could understand the amorous feelings, pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and I thought about marrying him. Later, he married someone else and sold me to Simon, and I was disappointed and hated him. Yesterday, he told me that the man who betrayed me was his father, and that he had died because of me, and suddenly I didn't hate it!" Xia Qian said, a layer of tears in her eyes.
Yu Nuan sighed lightly, poured a cup of hot tea for Xia Qian and said: "Everyone has their own mission, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been squeezed and rejected for many years, and it is not so easy to come up with it, and Lu Jingheng is just carrying such a mission!" Last year's marriage, whether he gave up by himself or not, he was forced to be helpless, and finally married a princess who didn't like each other, and he must have felt more uncomfortable than anyone else. “
As soon as Xia Qian took the cup of tea, a tear fell into the water, wiped his nose and said, "He originally had a chance to escape, but in order to save me, he gave up." Now that I think about it, I feel quite similar to him, I know my mission, and I understand my destiny, but I still struggle hard to fight against fate - for a dignified life, for an unattainable love! “
