Chapter 97 Owed a Favor

Shi Qingxue's force value is basically scum, and she subconsciously closed her eyes and dodged to the side, but she could only dodge this one.

"Ahh

The screams rang out, not hers.

Shi Qingxue was stunned for a few breaths, then opened her eyes suddenly, and the original black-clothed assassin was lying on the ground covered in blood, dead and dead.

In front of her, a tall figure stood upright, with his back to the sun, as steady and dreamy as a mountain.

Shi Qingxue squinted her eyes, watching the person opposite stretch out her hand towards her, her soft voice was reassuring, "It's okay, can you get up?" ”

She paused, didn't stretch out her hand, and chose to stand up on the ground herself, while taking a few steps back to distance herself from the man.

thanked him expressionlessly: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your rescue." ”

Yes, the person who saved her turned out to be Mo Junhao!

This is something that Shi Qingxue never thought about, and she didn't want it to happen at all - but it has become a fact.

A weak thank you made her even more irritable than when she was in danger before, and she couldn't see it on her face, but the irritability was already immersed in her bones.

The hatred between her and Mo Junhao is too deep, and she can still fight mentally on weekdays, but now she inexplicably owes the enemy the grace of saving her life, which makes her crazy!

Mo Junhao also noticed that Qingxue was in a bad mood, but he only said more gently when the other party had not recovered from the danger: "It's okay, this is what I should do." ”

As he spoke, he looked around again, and then turned over the assassin before he said, "If one of the assassins comes, the second may come, it's not safe here, I'll send you back to Kyoto!" ”

Shi Qingxue was stunned, and the weirdness in her heart was even worse: her assassination was inexplicable enough, and Mo Junhao was able to appear in such a timely manner, as if she had said it in advance - she didn't suspect that Mo Junhao was waiting to get this 'life-saving grace' on the sidelines, and it was even very likely that she had been following her since she left Kyoto.

However, it is difficult to say who sent the dead assassin.

Qingxue didn't go around in circles with Mo Junhao, picked up her bow and arrows, and said directly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Qingxue has something important to do, so she won't go back to Kyoto." ”

As for where to go, she didn't want to say, and there was no need to say.

Mo Junhao raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept around Qingxue's slightly pale face, and reminded calmly: "Someone has already known about your departure from Beijing, and wants to put you to death, no matter where you want to go now, it is not safe." ”

Shi Qingxue's expression remained unchanged, "It's the same when you go back to Beijing." ”

This is going to Qingluo Mountain even if you don't want to die.

Mo Junhao: "...... Well, I'll send you there. If I'm here, whoever sent the Assassins, they'll be restrained. ”

Silently killing a woman from a family and assassinating a prince are definitely not at the same level.

Shi Qingxue's first thought was to refuse, but she knew that under the current situation, it was impossible for her to reach the camp of the Shi family army safely if she wanted to do it on her own, but asking her to ask Mo Junhao for help was even more uncomfortable than killing her!

She took several deep breaths and reminded herself that she must not be rash, so she barely suppressed the depression in her heart and squeezed a smile, "Since this is the case, then trouble the Fourth Highness, after returning to Beijing, Qingxue will be grateful." ”

No matter how angry she may be, this promise must be made.

Mo Junhao was obviously very satisfied with her 'Gratitude Diagram', his face was full of smiles, but he also said humbly: "Sister Xue doesn't have to be polite, just raise your hands." ”

Shi Qingxue didn't bother to answer him, so she took the horse and continued on the road, but Mo Junhao stood in front of her, and said with a distressed face: "Sister Xue wants to ride a horse?" ”

Why don't you walk over there?

Qingxue secretly rolled her eyes and looked at Mo Junhao without speaking.

Mo Junhao shrugged innocently, "I mean, I don't have a horse, if we want to ride a horse, we need to ride a horse." ”

"......" Qingxue wanted to refuse, and then left.

But right now, there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back - the key is that the person who is in a hurry is she not Mo Junhao - she gritted her teeth patiently, got on the horse, glanced at Mo Junhao, and did not move.

The smile on Mo Junhao's face was even brighter, and he suddenly felt that Qingxue, who was awkward with him, was very cute, so he couldn't move away, and couldn't help but tease: "Sister Xue doesn't want to ride a horse with me?" ”

Shi Qingxue didn't answer at all, and looked at Mo Junhao calmly, but the latter looked at each other for two seconds and admitted defeat, and got on the horse.

Shi Qingxue instinctively sat forward, wanting to stay away from Mo Junhao, but before she could understand, the person behind her took the first step to hold her waist and grabbed the reins with one hand.

The two were stuck together, and she couldn't move.

"Don't move, I'm going to speed up, be careful of falling."

Mo Junhao said so, Shi Qingxue could only endure and ignore the touch behind her as much as possible.

Fortunately, this kind of patience only takes more than half a day, and when the two of them arrived in the next town at night, Shi Qingxue immediately asked the inn's junior to buy another horse for her.

Mo Junhao Nephrite has been pregnant for so long, and while she is satisfied, she does not forget to fight for greater benefits for herself, "Shopkeeper, please give us an upper room." ”

After speaking, he explained frankly: "It's safer to live together when you are away from home." ”

Shi Qingxue said a little coldly: "It's okay, if something happens next door, you will know if you shout, and you can take care of the store's business in this way." ”

The innkeeper nodded again and again, and agreed: "That's it!" It's not a small boast, the inn has been in business for more than ten years, there has never been an incident, it's very safe, the two don't need to worry, and then look at the two are in a hurry, naturally it is more comfortable to sleep in a room per person. ”

"Then open two upper rooms, connected to each other." Shi Qingxue made a decision directly, and then withdrew a little second to lead the way.

Mo Junhao's 'trick' failed, but he didn't force it too much, he smiled and followed, and when Shi Qingxue stepped into the door, he stepped in with one foot and had a good reason: "We need to talk." ”

Shi Qingxue didn't have any extra obstacles, "What are you talking about?" ”

Her expression was still very cold, even if she was asking for help.

Mo Junhao was finally dissatisfied—after being snubbed by the object of his kindness many times—his smile faded a little, "Are you going to Qingluo Mountain?" ”

Shi Qingxue smiled, "Didn't you already know?" ”

In this situation, there is really nothing to hide, on the contrary, Shi Qingxue is more looking forward to getting useful information from the other party, such as who wants to harm Shi Junhe?

Mo Junhao's face was solemn, and his tone was serious: "If you are willing to listen to my advice, I still hope that you can return to Kyoto as soon as possible and don't wade into this troubled water." ”

Shi Qingxue: "......"

She stared at Mo Junhao's face with burning eyes—given that she knew him so well, and that Mo Junhao was too young to hide his emotions—he did let her go back to Kyoto because he didn't want her to have an accident.

Although it may have its own purpose, it at least shows that it is indeed dangerous to go to Qingluo Mountain this time!

Shi Qingxue lowered her eyes, suddenly smiled, and laughed at herself in her heart: What so what? She had already died once, but her father didn't deserve to die again.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but my father is in Qingluo Mountain, and I have to go." Shi Qingxue's eyes were full of determination, and the tone of her speech was not as-for-tat as she had at the beginning.

Mo Junhao said in his heart that this was because Shi Qingxue was very satisfied with his change of opinion, "Since you have decided like this, then I will accompany you no matter what." ”

Shi Qingxue was stunned, she wanted to say that you don't have to follow me, but then she understood that the other party's intention to follow me was by no means simple.

She smiled, thanked Mo Junhao again, and suddenly asked, "Does Your Highness know who is the person who assassinated me today?" ”

Mo Junhao pursed his lips, shook his head, and said cautiously: "That assassin is a professional killer, and he didn't leave any useful information, so it was difficult to tell who sent him for a while. But don't worry, with me here, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest. ”

Tsk, after a long series of words, there was almost no breakthrough, Shi Qingxue was no longer vain, and opened the door: "It's late at night, Your Highness, please go back." ”

Mo Junhao: "......"

He also wanted to chat with Shi Qingxue for a while, but the other party looked overtired, so he had to get up and leave.

Shi Qingxue closed the door, took out a small notebook from her arms, and then took a small piece of charcoal and wrote and drew on it.

Although the possibility is not high, it is not ruled out that the assassination was a good drama written and directed by Mo Junhao, and in his previous life, he ordered his father to go to Qingluo Mountain to suppress bandits...... But it is said that the person who petitioned the emperor this time was Mo Junjiu......" she muttered in a low voice, trying to pull a thread out of one mystery after another.

But instead of drawing conclusions, she made herself even more confused.

In the end, Qingxue had no choice but to write down the confirmed information in the notebook, and the others took a step by step.

When she was ready to go to bed, she suddenly felt a chill hit the window, and the candle shadow swayed.

'Smack'!

The room was plunged into darkness.

Shi Qingxue subconsciously took the bow and arrow, leaned her back against the beam, and listened to the argument.

Then there was no movement for a long time, no one broke in, and there was no hidden weapon to attack her.

The candle flame was simply blown out by the wind.

A heart rose and fell suddenly, Shi Qingxue's heart was uneasy, and the hand holding the bow and arrow did not let go, but walked towards the door step by step.

At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted: "It's water!" Walk the water! Let's put out the fire! ”

How come?!

Shi Qingxue slammed into the room, hurriedly opened the door, and then a long sword stabbed in from the outside.

Her head flicked, and the sword pierced through the middle of her long hair, and a large patch of black hair fell. Instinctively, she stretched out her foot and kicked the person out of the door with all her strength, while drawing her longbow and shooting arrows.

The arrow landed in the palm of the man's sword-holding right hand, and slammed into the wooden floor of the hallway.

"Qingxue, are you okay?"

Mo Junhao also opened the door and rushed out, he held a sharp sword in his hand, and there were blood stains on the blade, which looked particularly terrifying in the firelit night.

Shi Qingxue didn't have time to pay attention, and hurriedly walked downstairs, "Hurry up and leave." ”

Mo Junhao grabbed her and grabbed her waist without consulting her at all.
