Chapter 230: Jumping off the bridge
Just now, there was a very slight rustling sound behind her, Ling Qingrui held the lancet tightly in her hand, but she pretended not to know, slowly stood up, and then turned around and walked slowly towards the bridge.
Just as Ling Qingrui's footsteps stepped on the bridge, a strong wind suddenly struck, and Ling Qingrui, who had been on guard, quickly rolled over, dodged behind the stone at the bridgehead, and only heard a "buzz", which was the sound of a knife slashing on the stone.
Ling Qingrui's eyes narrowed, and she sprinkled out a handful of colorless and tasteless poison with a slight increase in her hands, this poison would be poisoned if it touched a little bit, even if it was contaminated on the sole of her shoes, and then she got up slowly, but when she saw the person chasing her, she was slightly startled, and said, "It's you." ”
"Since the county lord of An Jin recognizes us, let's leave our lives!"
As soon as the other party waved his hand, several people rushed forward, but they were unknowingly contaminated with the poison sprinkled by Ling Qingrui, and immediately fell to the ground screaming.
"It's really vicious!" The other party said hatefully.
Ling Qingrui's lips hooked up a faint smile, and said, "You want my life, I'm just protecting myself, how can I talk about being vicious." ”
Her face was calm and composed, but Ling Qingrui's heart was a little anxious, because she recognized it just now, these people were the people who took her out of the city "by the way" before, the people in the carriage.
The person in the carriage, in fact, Ling Qingrui didn't really see it, but she recognized the person who was driving the carriage at that time, and the other party was not the person who was waiting for her in Shilipo.
However, these people in front of her definitely have a close relationship with the person who sent her the letter, otherwise how would they recognize her? You must know that she is not only dressed in men's clothes at this time, but also disguised into Bingyue, but the other party directly calls her the county lord of An Jin!
Could it be ......
Ling Qingrui suddenly remembered that attack, the Phoenix Hidden Guard from the Queen!
If the letter was given to her by the Phoenix Guard, it is not difficult to understand why they appeared so coincidentally at the gate of the city, and let Ling Qingrui hitchhike out of the city so smoothly, because their purpose was to lure her out of the city and kill her.
It's just that, in this way, how did the Phoenix Hidden Guard or the Queen know about the cinnabar mole child killer between the eyebrows?
Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually the queen?
Her mind was racing, but Ling Qingrui's hands were not idle at all, and she had laid a heavy poison array in front of her, which was originally intended for the people of Shilipo, but now she had to give them a taste first.
Because the position where Ling Qingrui was standing was just guarding the narrow bridgehead, leaving no place for them to stay, after a few people rushed up and fell to the ground again, and died there after a short time, for a while, the other party was jealous, staring at Ling Qingrui but no longer rushed forward.
However, it was obvious that the other party was also prepared to take Ling Qingrui's life, and as soon as the leader waved his hand, several people stood up with bows and arrows in their hands.
Ling Qingrui wanted to rely on the bridgehead stone that had saved her before, but the other party had a person with outstanding light skills, jumped over the poisonous array under her step, and came behind her, so that the other party formed a flanking attack, and Ling Qingrui almost had no possibility of dodging!
"Lord An Jin, in the next life, you must remember what kind of people can be provoked and what kind of people cannot be provoked!" The leader said with a sly smile.
"Really?" Ling Qingrui waved her hand, and her fingers were very casually supported on the edge of the bridge, "You also have to remember that if you want to calculate people, you will be calculated by others after all." ”
Ling Qingrui's voice was faint, as if she was facing not a few bows and arrows, but a few beautiful lanterns.
Hearing Ling Qingrui's words, the leader subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and immediately waved his hand and spit out the word "shoot", but with his actions and orders, what appeared was not the arrows that were shot vigorously, but the person holding the bow and arrow, as well as several people around him, vomited blood and fell to the ground!
Ling Qingrui hooked her lips slightly, she didn't know if she had the intention of harming others, but how could she not have someone who defended people?
As early as that carriage, when she was anxious to get out of the city, when such a coincidence appeared, the alarm bell in her heart had already sounded, but she had to use this carriage to get out of the city, and when she "cared" the carriage, she had already poisoned the carriage.
That poison is just some kind of introduction, if the people in the carriage really want to go out of the city to do business, and it has nothing to do with Ling Qingrui, then the poison she gave will not attack, and with the passage of time, the toxicity will slowly dissolve, and there will be no damage to the people in the carriage.
However, if the people in the carriage really came to pursue Ling Qingrui, Ling Qingrui would use another toxin to trigger the poison in their bodies!
This is the reason why those people vomited blood and fell to the ground just now, but it seems that there were really a lot of people in the carriage at that time, and not all of them were contaminated with the poison, otherwise there are probably not many people who can stand now.
Although the leader did not vomit blood, his body trembled a little, I don't know if he was poisoned or angry, after all, he hadn't touched Ling Qingrui at all, but their own side had already lost a lot of manpower.
"Why, do you have to die? Then let the county lord see today, whether you can take the life of the county lord, or you are all poisoned by the county lord! Ling Qingrui said sarcastically, but no one knew that she was a little nervous in her heart at this time.
Her poison techniques are all later, learned from the poison scripture, the practice time is still short, and there is no martial arts internal force as an aid, after all, she can't compete with these martial arts masters, and there is a serious matter, that is, the night wind here is too strong, and the poison array she just laid out may not be able to support it for too long, she said this, just to frighten the other party.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and repeated the old trick again, and countless bows and arrows pointed at Ling Qingrui from afar.
Ling Qingrui gritted her teeth, this time I'm afraid she is in a catastrophe!
With the faint starlight, Ling Qingrui glanced at the water flow under the bridge, wondering if she could avoid the other party's arrow rain if she jumped down, and then whether she could get rid of them smoothly and come up from the water.
It's just that the situation can't help Ling Qingrui hesitate, the other party's bowstring has already been pulled to the full moon, Ling Qingrui used a force in her wrist and jumped off the bridge!
There was a "snap", and at the moment when Ling Qingrui jumped down, she only heard a soft sound, her wrist was already held, and her body paused in the air, and then with the sound of sword symphony in her ears, she was thrown hard and thrown onto the bridge.
As soon as she stood firm, Ling Qingrui saw an extremely ugly face, it was Jing Mofeng.
At this moment, his expression, his eyes, where is there still a trace of warmth, I am afraid that it is difficult to describe it with only the word gloomy, and his face is so ugly.
As if his wrist was about to be crushed, there were bursts of pain, Ling Qingrui couldn't help frowning slightly, and said, "Thank you Your Highness for saving you, how could Your Highness be here?" ”
Jing Mofeng didn't say a word, glanced at her deeply, let go of the fingers holding her wrists, turned around and left, a robe dancing in the night breeze, as if he was going to ride the wind straight up to the sky, magnificent.
Ling Qingrui blinked slightly, why did she feel that Jing Mofeng at this moment was so similar to another person, so close that it seemed to be the same person.
The sound of violent swords colliding together interrupted Ling Qingrui's thoughts, and when she turned her eyes, she saw that Starfall was fighting against the previous leader, and the leader was slashed out by Starfall's sword, and when he landed, he was already out of breath and out of breath, and he couldn't survive.
Slightly opening her lips, Ling Qingrui originally wanted Starfall to leave a living mouth, but she didn't want Starfall to fall with a knife, the leader had already become a dead corpse, Ling Qingrui pursed her lips when she saw this, and did not speak.
At this time, all the people who came to chase and kill Ling Qingrui had already been killed on the spot by the people brought by Starfall, and then Starfall, who wiped the blood on the sword, got up and walked in front of Ling Qingrui.
Starfall looked at Ling Qingrui's gaze, with a trace of chill and evil aura, but it disappeared in an instant, he was silent for a long time, and asked, "Miss Rui, what are you going to do?" ”
Seeing that Ling Qingrui didn't seem to want to explain, Xing Fall said again: "Miss Rui, our pavilion master does look at Miss Rui differently, but this doesn't mean that Miss Rui can be so willful!" Miss Rui's actions would make Starfall think that the pavilion master had taken a blind look. ”
It seemed that he sensed the starfall's fierce words here, Jing Mofeng, who was originally standing by the bridge with his back to Ling Qingrui, turned around and said: "Listen to what you say, you are someone else's subordinate, but you are just obeying orders to protect the county lord, no matter what the county lord does, I am afraid you can't blame it." ”
Hearing this, Starfall opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything to refute it.
"I'm sorry!" Ling Qingrui suddenly spoke, "I'm sorry to worry everyone, I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone, I want to accompany you here." It's just that I have what I need to do, and no one can stop me. ”
After a pause, Ling Qingrui added in a low voice, "Including Ling Xiao." ”
Hearing Ling Qingrui's words, Starfall's face became even more difficult to look at, but he didn't say anything, just took a few steps back, and slowly disappeared his figure.
But Jing Mofeng looked at Ling Qingrui deeply, and his eyes showed a cold light in the night.
Ling Qingrui solemnly clasped her fists and saluted, and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your help, I will come to the door another day to thank you, please forgive An Jin today for having something important to do, and I can't accompany you." ”
Turning around, Ling Qingrui wanted to leave, but heard Jing Mofeng behind him raise his voice and say: "No matter what the county master is going to do, I'm afraid that the time has been missed at this time, even if the time is not missed, there is such a fierce battle here, I am afraid that the other party has already noticed it, how can he still wait for you in the same place." ”
Ling Qingrui's footsteps paused, in fact, this was exactly what Ling Qingrui was worried about, but how did Jing Mofeng know that she would miss the hour, how could she know that someone was waiting for her, and how could he appear with Starfall just now and save her?
