Chapter 162: Two Birds with One Stone
Hunting in Autumn Mountain, which had not been there for more than ten years before the death of the first emperor, and now that the new emperor has come, there are a lot of prey inside. The guards on the inside and outside are very tight, and even Chu Xi's carriage has to be carefully inspected inside and out.
"Mrs. Lin, when you get here, you have to get off the carriage and go up." Justice on the side.
"Okay."
Chu Ji replied lightly, glanced at Xiao Fu'er and Aunt Fu who followed, and said, "You don't have to go up with me, just wait nearby." ”
Xiao Fu'er grabbed Chu Xi's hand and shook her head aggrievedly, she knew that Chu Xi wanted to take the opportunity to let them leave, but she felt uneasy to let Chu Xi go up alone.
"Don't worry." Chu Ji looked at her comfortingly and said, she had already discussed it with Xu Jihe, and Xu Jihe would quietly take them away for a while, and then come back to meet her.
Aunt Fu tugged at Xiao Fu'er, and then looked at Chu Xi: "Don't worry, we will be fine, Miss just needs to take care of herself." ”
Chu Xi bowed slightly, patted Xiao Fu'er's head comfortingly, and smiled: "Don't worry, with Qingyu and Zheng Yun here, and Yan Yi is also here, I will be fine." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Fu'er had to let her go, sobbed and watched her get out of the carriage before she fell into Aunt Fu's arms and cried.
The father-in-law who was guarding outside saw Chu Xi, dressed in a bright red cross-collared wide-sleeved embroidered peony palace robe, with all his hair pulled up, and wearing a golden hairpin, thin makeup, eyebrows and red lips, and his eyes were cold, so people had to lower their heads: "Mrs. Lin." ”
Chu Ji stepped forward and said, "I'm still tired of my father-in-law leading the way." ”
The father-in-law didn't say a word, but led her forward.
Zheng Yun also dismounted and followed, but all the weapons on his body were confiscated.
The road to Qiushan is not steep, and it is not far from the camp, and it will not take long for a few people to arrive, but except for a few concubines who don't toss much and ministers who can't ride horses, no one else is there, but everyone was surprised when they saw Chu Xi's red body, but more as if they were not surprised by her appearance, but the look of her clothes.
"What are they looking at?" Zheng Yun walked up to Chu Ji and said puzzled.
Chu Xi sighed lightly in her heart, and only said, "There are other problems with this clothes. ”
The two didn't bother to talk to those concubines, so they just found a seat to sit down and wait for Zhao Xuanyi and them to come back.
The two didn't wait long, Zhao Xuanyi hadn't come back yet, but they saw Li Xiao.
Zheng Yun was slightly surprised: "Didn't he say that he was going to Jiangnan to deal with cholera today?" ”
"Maybe something else has changed." Chu Ji watched Li Xiao approach in a hurry and said, "Lord Li......"
"Green Sprouts did something to Shan'er, and now Shan'er is still unconscious, and her mother is also angry, and the people from the Dongjun Royal Mansion took Green Sprouts away directly." Li Xiao looked at Chu Xi and said in a hurry.
Chu Xi stood up suddenly: "How is it possible, it is impossible for Green Sprouts to do anything to Yuan Shan!" The green shoots she knows, although she used to be a little anxious, but since she came down the mountain, her temperament has become more and more peaceful, and she has no regrets about Li Xiao, it is impossible to do such a thing. Either someone is framing it, or someone is playing a game. But she has seen Yuan Shan, dignified and polite, and Li Xiao is becoming less and less sad about Green Sprouts, as smart as she is, she will never attack Green Sprouts at this time, so there is only one other possibility left......
After Chu Xi thought about it clearly, her gaze at Li Xiao became a little colder: "What is Master Li going to do when he told me this?" ”
Li Xiao frowned slightly, with a sad face: "I'm about to leave soon, but something like this happened in the mansion, so I thought, when I see the emperor in a while, can you let Qingyu help me talk about it, and then leave later?" Anyway, let me bring the green shoots out first, she has been with me for so long, and she has suffered......"
Chu Xi couldn't understand Li Xiao more and more, he looked like he was still an infatuated teenager before, but Chu Xi understood that he couldn't change so much overnight.
Zheng Yun stood up and said, "Qingyu is now the 'criminal minister' in your mouth, how can he help you?" ”
Li Xiao ignored Zheng Yun, and only looked at Chu Ji fixedly: "Sister, if you don't say it, I'm afraid that the Dongjun Wangfu will be unfavorable to the green shoots......"
Chu Xi's palms tightened slightly, looking at Li Xiao's eyes, trying to see some clues in his eyes, but there was no flaw in his eyes.
A few people were talking, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and then a large number of people and horses approached, and the horse that ran at the front was sitting, wasn't it Zhao Xuanyi who was dressed in a bright yellow robe, but Lin Qingyu who followed behind was not dressed in red, and the father-in-law yesterday lied in order to let him wear this red clothes.
When Zhao Xuanyi saw Chu Xi, his eyes changed, but he immediately looked away at Li Xiao: "Why are you still here?" ”
Li Xiao looked at Chu Xi pleadingly, Chu Xi frowned slightly, but now it made her feel difficult to choose.
Everyone knelt down to see the emperor, and Li Xiao also spoke: "Back to the saint, there was an emergency in the minister's family, and the minister's father is now dispatched, and there are only a few female dependents left in the family, so I really don't dare to leave immediately, and I ask the emperor to forgive me for a ......day or two."
"I can forgive you, but can the people who suffer from cholera?" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly, and glanced at Chu Xi, who was not turbulent, out of the corner of his eye, and then said: "You go down the mountain and go out of the city immediately, don't delay any longer." ”
Li Xiao seemed to endure great pain, but she still agreed, but before leaving, she looked at Chu Xi: "Mrs. Lin, if it is a green shoot...... After all, she is also my beloved. With that, he turned around and left.
Chu Xiao was a little complicated in her heart, she didn't know what Li Xiao was doing, and she couldn't confirm whether Green Sprout was really in danger now, but if Li Xiao was allowed to stay, it would definitely not work, and it would only be bad for him to stay.
"Rest for a while, hunt for a while, everyone has to go up, I have a big prize for the one who catches the most prey today!" Zhao Xuanyi walked indifferently towards everyone.
Immediately, the hunting ground became lively, and Lin Qingyu also dismounted.
Zhao Xuanyi walked in the front, followed by Prince Yu Zhao Ke and several other princes and ministers, he went straight past Chu Xi, glanced at the clothes on her body out of the corner of his eyes, and his lips were slightly raised.
After he left, Chu Xi dared to step forward and walk up to Lin Qingyu: "Qingyu ......"
"It's all arranged?" Lin Qingyu asked with a smile.
"Well, Yi'er has been sent out of the city, can we also go?" Chu Ji was still uneasy in her heart, even when she saw Lin Qingyu.
Lin Qingyu knew her worries, raised his hand and gently touched her face, and said with a smile: "As soon as today is over, we will find a way to leave the capital and go to meet our father and them." ”
"Okay." Chu Xi finally laughed at this time, and told him Li Xiao's words again: "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't see where the strangeness is. ”
Lin Qingyu looked lightly at the direction where Li Xiao had just left, and said, "Green Sprouts are only afraid that something will really happen." ”
"Is something really going to happen?"
"Hmm." Lin Qingyu nodded: "The purpose of him doing this is to win your sympathy and intolerance for Green Sprout, and then help him stay, so Green Sprout should really be sent to the Dongjun Palace, but the Dongjun Palace's famous reputation for caring for Green Sprouts will not be ruthless, it depends on whether Li Xiao has other arrangements." ”
Chu Xi groaned slightly: "I just hope they won't do it now." She only hopes that Lu Ya will not be impulsive, and Li Xiao can still take care of the love when she was with Lu Yachu.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, the emperor will ask everyone to go out hunting in a while, you have to be very careful." Lin Qingyu said.
Chu Ji bowed: "Understand, don't worry." ”
Lin Qingyu raised his eyes to look at Zheng Yun and nodded at him, and then took Chu Xi to the camp tent.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain, Xu Jihe found Xiao Fu'er and Aunt Fu and quietly took them away.
"Where are we going?" Xiao Fu'er sat in the carriage that Xu Jihe came and asked.
Xu Jihe looked at the person who was following behind him, and said with a smile: "Go back to the capital." ”
"Back to the capital?" Xiao Fu'er was puzzled, and Xu Jihe's voice was louder: "Naturally, I want to go back to the capital, it's so cold on this mountain, why don't you go back and prepare more clothes for your young lady or something?" ”
Xiao Fu'er blinked, looked back at Aunt Fu, and Aunt Fu also pulled Xiao Fu'er not to speak. They naturally believe Xu Jihe, and when she says this, it means that there must be other situations.
The people who followed followed them all the way to the capital, then frowned and sent his subordinates: "Go back to Lord Li, they didn't go to find someone to meet, but went back to Beijing." ”
"Yes!"
At this time, Li Xiao had already packed her bags, and Mrs. Li did look like she was sick, and her eyes were swollen from crying: "My son, you must be careful, that cholera...... Cholera can kill people! ”
Li Xiao's face was slightly dark, he didn't know how bad cholera was, but now he had no way out, he could only see if he could track down the Yang family and the Yun family's mother and daughter who sent them out, if he could, maybe he could let the emperor assign them a task to arrest them, instead of going to Jiangnan to send them to death.
"Hello, let's rest in the house." Li Xiao looked at the door, and Yuan Shan's personal ring also came out, and said, "Mrs. fell into the water today, did she wake up?" ”
"You woke up, but you were frightened, and you were lying down, and you couldn't get out of bed, so you had to have a slave and maid come and see you off." Naya Ring Road.
Li Xiao didn't say more, he originally designed the green shoots to push Yuanshan into the water, and he also sent them to the Dongjun Palace, but there was only one purpose, that is, to let Chu Xi find Lin Qingyu, and Lin Qingyu would talk to the emperor to leave him again, and the emperor would definitely listen to him, but he didn't expect Chu Xi to ignore him like this.
"Master, the hour is almost up." The little guy next to him.
Li Xiao looked at the big mansion that he had finally created, and seemed to understand Chu Bingsong, who had just sat in the position of prime minister, and was bent on keeping the glory of the prime minister's mansion.
He looked at it for a long time, glanced at the maid who was waiting by the green sprouts, didn't say more, put down the curtain and was about to leave, but the carriage was less than a hundred meters away, and someone from the Dongjun Mansion hurried over, carrying a white stretcher behind him, the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, and it seemed that there was still a person lying down.
Li Xiao chuckled in her heart, and asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Uncle......" The grandmother who was talking back and forth looked at him with an embarrassed face, and said, "Aunt Green Sprout, she ...... Committed suicide in fear of sin. ”
"What!" Li Xiao only felt that the curtain he was holding seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, his face was slightly pale, and his lips trembled slightly as he looked at the figure under the white cloth: "How could she commit suicide?" He sent her over, because he expected that the Dongjun Mansion would take care of her face, at most she would beat and scold, but how could she commit suicide?
The mother-in-law hurriedly cleared up the relationship: "Our lady didn't say much, she suddenly pulled out the hairpin and understood her life." Our lady is still so frightened that she faints, and she hasn't woken up yet, you see......"
Mrs. Li, who heard this on the side, frowned, hurriedly hurried over, and said to Li Xiao: "Xiao'er, it's just an aunt, she was raised by a slave, and if she dies, she will die, the emperor ordered you to leave the city before noon, you must not delay any longer." ”
Li Xiao only felt that his eyes were very sour, when Lu Ya first got married, he knew the shyness and sweetness, the attachment and expectation, he also liked this neat and smart woman very much, but later he pushed her out again and again for the sake of power, for the future, and for his own infatuation, she became more and more indifferent, more and more unkind, and more and more only protecting Chu Xi and unwilling to help him wholeheartedly.
"Master ......" The people who followed at the city gate came over to tell the situation, Li Xiao looked at it and was placed on the side of the road, only a person covered with a white cloth, put down the curtain of the car, and the person also sat in the carriage, and said in a low voice: "Good life and burial." ”
With that, the carriage departed.
While the carriage was walking, the curtain flew up, and he saw a pale little hand with blood stains falling from the stretcher, and it seemed that he was still dragging an unfinished embroidered sachet with plum blossoms, and the cool breeze blew, and he seemed to remember that he had told Green Sprouts that he liked plum blossoms very much, and she promised himself that he would embroider ninety-nine plum blossom-like sachets for himself, and when it was winter, he would put plum blossom petals in it, and he could smell the fragrance of plum blossoms everywhere, but he had never told Green Sprouts that this stupid girl was why he liked plum blossoms, because in Chu Xi's Jin Pavilion, there will always be one or two fresh plum blossoms as decorations.
What he didn't know was that this ordinary lady was going to embroider ninety-nine sachets for half a year, and the green buds were all embroidered day and night, and they were all embroidered in a month.
Green Sprout can't feel anything anymore, because she is dead, in the face of the humiliation of Princess Dongjun, she feels that it is the most appropriate for her to die, so that she can neither have children nor serve Li Xiao, and she will become a tool he uses to blackmail and retaliate against Miss, only when she is dead can she feel relieved and comfortable.
She lay there quietly, letting the wind change, let the wind rise, let the human heart be sinister, she could never feel it again.
The hunting meeting in Akiyama soon began again, but it was divided into two fields, the ministers led by Zhao Xuanyi went to the left, and whoever hunted the most prey would be rewarded, and on the contrary, whoever did not hunt the prey would be punished.
Lin Qingyu was ordered to follow Zhao Xuanyi, while Chu Ji followed the people led by Prince Yu to the right, followed by the Mongolian princess Mercy and the injured Zheng Yun.
Chu Ji always felt a little strange when he looked at such a combination, but when he saw Zheng Yun followed by a brocade guard wearing a bright red robe, he realized that something was wrong, if it was as Xu Jihe said before, the medicinal powder on his clothes would make people faint, then what was the purpose of making himself faint? Wounded or killed in this hunt?
"Madam, you ride a horse and walk slowly behind, and I will help you fight the prey." Zheng Yun pulled the reins and said to Chu Ji.
Chu Xi bowed slightly, glanced at the unfamiliar attendant leading the horse, and didn't say anything.
Lin Qingyu's complexion looked much better, he glanced at Chu Xi not far away, and gave her a reassuring look, Chu Xi bowed slightly, and with Zhao Xuanyi's order, everyone's horses began to rush forward, Chu Xi obviously saw that someone was going to take a dagger to draw Lin Qingyu's horse, but Lin Qingyu opened it with his backhand, he was not in a hurry, and walked slowly with Chu Xi.
Someone next to him reminded: "If you can't hunt the prey, the emperor's punishment is very serious." ”
Lin Qing was foolish, drew a bow and shot arrows, and a golden rooster that had just emerged from the forest not far away died.
Chu Xuan turned his head to look at him with a calm and relaxed attitude, and he was also relieved, but the further he went, the road became steeper and steeper, and there seemed to be a commotion on Zhao Xuanyi's side, Lin Qingyu jumped directly on Chu Xi's horse and helped her hold the reins: "Let's go and see what's going on." ”
"I'm worried that something will happen to Prince Yu." Chu Ji said.
Lin Qingyu bowed slightly, but finally restrained a little leisure, and became serious: "Something will definitely happen, but I can't let you be here alone." After that, he looked at the person in his arms, clamped the horse's belly between his feet, and chased after Zhao Xuanyi.
After a short time, the two chased them to an open place, and Zhao Xuanyi and the group of ministers seemed to be gone.
"It's gone." Chu Xi frowned slightly.
Lin Qingyu bowed his head, and before he could think about it, four or five bows and arrows flew out of the surroundings, Lin Qingyu rolled up his sleeves and opened the flying bows and arrows, but forty or fifty black-clothed assassins simply appeared around.
"Don't leave a mouth alive!"
They are talking about southern Xinjiang, Chu Xi's face is slightly gloomy, this Qiushan hunting ground is heavily protected, how did this group of southern Xinjiang people come in. And even if they lurked in, shouldn't they assassinate the emperor, how can they surround them.
"Be careful." Lin Qingyu whispered in her ear, but they still underestimated their preparation.
Facing dozens of lethal bows and crossbows, Lin Qingyu whispered in Chu Xi's ear: "You go to the left, there are Prince Yu's people there." ”
"And what do you do?"
"I'll be there right away, too."
But this is Zhao Xuanyi's hunting ground, everything here is arranged by him, if he really wants to be ruthless, they can't fully predict his plan, but fortunately, there are preparations made by the relatives, and they can maneuver.
Chu Xi understood what Lin Qingyu meant, and bit her lip slightly: "Then you must be careful!" ”
"Don't worry." Lin Qingyu smiled, flew up directly, opened a gap for Chu Xi, and watched her ride away, so that he could seriously deal with the rest of the people, but Zhao Xuanyi should not have guessed that his kung fu had recovered.
Chu Xi ran forward desperately, the more she went forward, the more painful her heart became, and she didn't know why, she only felt very sad and sad in her heart.
She kept rushing forward, and finally found the person who Lin Qingyu had arranged in advance before being caught up: "Go and save Qingyu!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately allocated a group of people, and another part of them protected her: "Let's go find the prince." ”
"Good!" For the sake of the overall situation, Chu Xi did not refuse, and followed them directly.
Prince Yu also sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't show that he already knew and had been prepared, which would only give Zhao Xuanyi the truth.
Hearing someone chasing after him, he grabbed the reins and looked at Chu Xi who came in a hurry: "It's okay." ”
"Qingyu is ambushed."
"You mean there are assassins in the hunting grounds?" Zhao Ke asked, but he was helping Chu Ji adjust the angle.
Chu Xi reacted instantly and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, there is an assassin on the mountain, who wants to assassinate the emperor!" ”
"Good!" After Zhao Ke finished speaking, he turned his head and followed the crowd: "Protect Mrs. Lin and the princess, and the others will follow this king to escort them!" ”
"Yes!"
After that, the group followed Zhao Ke away, but his red-clothed guard stayed behind.
Pity looked at Chu Xi and said with a smile: "You can still ride a horse?" ”
Chu Ji looked at her, smiled back, and said, "Yes." ”
Seeing that Chu Xi's eyes were full of worry, he smiled pitifully: "Don't worry, Prince Yu's kung fu is so high, he will be fine." ”
Chu Xi didn't say more, but watched the red-clothed guard walk towards her, held the horse for her, and said in a slightly low voice: "My subordinate will take you to a safe place." ”
Through the meager sunlight, Chu Xi could see the dust scattered on his body as he walked, could it really be him.
"I'm not going, I'm just waiting here for Prince Yu to come back." Chu Ji said firmly.
The man was slightly stunned, and his pity was stunned for a moment: "We are here, is it not safe." ”
"It's safe here." Chu Xi raised his eyes and looked at the ministers who followed closely behind, and said, "There are so many adults here, how can something happen?" ”
Those adults were also flustered, and when they heard Chu Xi's words, they naturally hurriedly smiled.
Seeing that Chu Xi refused to leave, the red-clothed guard's face turned darker: "There are still guards in front, let's go to the front, there will be more people to protect everyone." After that, he directly took Chu Xi's reins and wanted to move forward.
The ministers also felt that there was no problem and planned to follow, Chu Ji's face was slightly gloomy, and he planned to go to Zheng Yun, but Zheng Yun didn't know where to go.
Pity sensed Chu Xi's nervousness, and hurriedly rode to her side and asked, "Are you looking for Zheng Yun?" He was called away halfway through. ”
Chu Xi's palms tightened slightly, could it be that this ring was also calculated?
"Pity Princess, we can't go, we must stay here!" Chu Ji looked at her fixedly and said, go ahead, no one knows where it is, what accidents will happen, even if Qingyu and Prince Yu can come back in time, I am afraid that it will be too late to find them.
Mercy still didn't understand the situation, but seeing that Chu Xi was so worried, he looked at the guard and said, "You stop!" ”
As if the guard had not heard, the ministers followed without speaking, but carefully reined in their horses, and the more timid ones simply dismounted, and let their little servants go ahead of them.
"You stopped, didn't you hear?" Compassion again.
The guard glanced up at her, his eyes shining, and then turned his head back and walked on.
Pity also sensed that something was wrong at this time, and stepped forward to pull Chu Xi's horse: "Everyone stop, don't go forward!" ”
When the man saw this, he stopped and raised his eyes to look at mercy: "Princess, you can meet the emperor not far ahead, and that is the safest place." ”
Chu Xi looked at him, his eyes seemed to be a little confused, then it must be that the medicinal powder on his body was mixed with his body and had an effect. But if this is the case, it can only explain one problem, the person who wants to stun her is Zhao Xuanyi! And they must have some other purpose for bringing them there now, and she must not go.
Listening with mercy, he found a few more attendants and asked if there was a meeting place in front of him, and when he saw that everyone nodded, he looked at Chu Xi helplessly: "Mrs. Lin, otherwise, let's go and meet your Emperor Majesty." ”
Chu Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the people around her, and transferred Prince Yu away, which was definitely a trap.
"Princess, can you send me back to where I was?" They are doing everything possible to take themselves away, so they should not be able to do it in the place where they are located.
Puzzled, the red-clothed guard still wanted to speak, but there seemed to be a heat rising in his body, which made him feel hot all over, but looking at Chu Xi again, she was supposed to faint, but she was still discussing something with the Mongolian princess as if she was fine.
"Someone is coming, ......" He seemed to realize that he had been designed by Chu Xi, and began to beckon other people to come over.
Chu Xi pleaded and looked at mercy: "Princess......"
Pity also hesitated, she was new to the city, and she didn't know what was going on.
Chu Ji watched the brocade guard in front of him fall, but walked over from the side, two or three people, without thinking about it, suddenly pulled the reins, kicked the horse's belly hard, turned around and went to the place alone. And as she was leaving, she distinctly heard someone shouting: "Chase! ”
Pursue?
What do you think of her, a fugitive or an assassin!
Chu Ji ran forward desperately, only by going forward to find Prince Yu and finding Qingyu could he be safe.
But the people chasing behind him saw that Chu Xi was getting farther and farther away, so they simply blew the whistle, and the forest was suddenly startled by a fluttering bird with wings, and Chu Xi also saw more black-clothed people coming out of the forest to chase her.
Chu Xi drove the horse quickly, but her horse was not a fast horse, and she was quickly caught up by the people behind her, but the man in black no longer seemed to want to catch her, but directly slashed at the horse, the horse was frightened, neighed violently, and took Chu Xi to the side of the mountain forest and ran wildly, Chu Xi couldn't hold the reins.
At the same time as hearing the whistle, Zhao Xuanyi was still waiting at the last arrival, but he also stood up suddenly.
"Your Majesty!" Someone was busy getting up.
"Is she still struggling?"
"Your Majesty, what should we do then? Did it go as planned? ”
Zhao Xuanyi only felt a little dizzy, but looking at this dense mountain forest, he was ruthless. Even his own daughter can be sacrificed, what is it for a woman he likes.
"Do it neatly, those who do it are all Prince Yu's subordinates." Zhao Xuanyi asked in a cold voice.
"Yes, they are all old people beside Prince Yu, Lin Qingyu will not doubt it." Bystanders.
Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth slightly: "Very good, I ordered to go down and send troops to kill all the assassins." ”
The others were slightly surprised, but they didn't say anything more, and went directly to make arrangements.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the clear sky with a slightly gloomy face, his teeth were tight, and his hands behind his back were clenched tightly.
The world and the beauty, he wants to choose the world after all! And if a person like Lin Qingyu can't be used, he can't be used by others, and Chu Ji is just like his life, killing Chu Ji is equivalent to killing him, and he can also make him turn against Prince Yu, this is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and he will never regret it!
Lin Qingyu also heard the whistle, and knew that Chu Ji must have had an accident, but the people who came from Prince Yu were still entangled with these people from southern Xinjiang.
"Go find her." Zhao Ke opened the person in front of him and shouted at him.
Lin Qingyu bowed slightly, made a ruthless heart, looked at the person who stabbed him with the poisonous sword, raised his hand and grabbed the long sword, shattered it violently, and opened him with one palm, and the person disappeared like a swift wind.
Chu Xi's horse rushed forward as fast as crazy, and Chu Xi's hand holding the reins was already covered with blood, but when he looked up, he saw the cliff in front of him.
"Jump off!"
A scolding came, Chu Xi didn't think about it, let go of the reins and jumped to the side, and the person also hit the big tree in the forest fiercely, so painful that she almost didn't breathe.
She felt as if all her muscles and bones were shattered, but the figure who had just scolded slowly approached, he was wearing a silver mask and a black robe, this person ......
"Hi-er."
He hurriedly came over to help Chu Xi up, but Chu Xi recognized him at a glance: "Zhao Xunyan!" ”
Seeing Chu Xi's pale face, Zhao Xunyan's face was slightly gloomy: "You know that I will come up the mountain, why do you still come?" Are you so worried about Lin Qingyu? ”
"You don't have to." Chu Xi saw that he appeared in this forest unscathed, and he didn't know that Zhao Xuanyi deliberately let him in.
"What are you going to do?" Chu Xi asked again, struggling to push him away, but his whole body was weak and had no strength.
Zhao Xunyan picked her up, and found that she was a lot lighter, and his subordinates became more and more gentle, and pursed the corners of his lips: "Follow me." ”
"It's impossible to ——!" Chu Xi said, the hairpin in his hand was already against his heart: "Let me down." ”
Zhao Xunyan snorted coldly: "Do you want Lin Qingyu to die with me?" ”
"I'll dig up your Gu worm ......"
"Before you kill me and take out the Gu worm, I will kill myself with one sword, kill the Gu worm, and let Lin Qingyu die with me!" He said ruthlessly.
Chu Xi gritted her silver teeth: "You came back this time, is it just to catch me!" ”
"Yes!"
He replied so neatly that Chu Xi was slightly stunned, and then said in a cold voice: "What about your hatred, don't you still want the throne......"
"Do you think this makes sense for someone who only has a few months to live? After the death of the old emperor, my enmity with him was over. Zhao Xunyan looked at the hatred in Chu Xi's eyes, and he was not afraid that she would hate herself even more: "It's okay if you hate me to the bone, so that you can remember me for the rest of your life!" He walked out of the cliff, surrounded by a group of men in black.
Zhao Xunyan put Chu Xi on the edge of the cliff and looked at her coldly: "Don't play tricks, otherwise you and I will die!" ”
After that, he turned around and looked at the man in black led by him: "Don't be stupid, Zhao Xuanyi is just using us, and once he achieves his goal, none of you will survive!" ”
The person at the head looked slightly ruthless, but no matter what, he had to give it a try: "Give Chu Xi to me!" ”
Zhao Xunyan smiled coldly and picked up a branch on the ground: "Then you guys will kill me first." After that, he directly picked up the branches and began to fight with them, and after a while, Lin Qingyu also chased after him, but the number of stabbing guests who came here seemed to be more, and they were stronger than before.
"Hello!" He looked at Chu Xi, who was lying on the edge of the cliff with a pale face, his heart hung violently, and the strength of his hands was even more ruthless.
Zhao Xunyan saw that Lin Qingyu was coming, so he simply withdrew from the battlefield, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he turned his head and planned to pick up Chu Xi and leave, but suddenly a sharp arrow shot from behind, piercing directly into his left shoulder, making him stumble forward and almost fall off the cliff.
"The emperor has an order, all assassins will be killed!" This naturally includes Zhao Xunyan.
With an order, hundreds of soldiers wearing armor were killed, and Lin Qingyu wanted to go through this group of assassins to find Chu Xi, but they all stopped in front of him, making it difficult for him to move an inch.
Zhao Xunyan smiled sarcastically, turned around, snapped the sharp arrow on his shoulder, looked at Lin Qingyu who was seen in the crowd, and bent down to hold Chu Xi in his arms: "Xi'er, look, do you think Lin Qingyu can still live?" ”
"Put me down!" Chu Xi didn't know Zhao Xunyan's intentions, but he had no way out, and Zhao Xuanyi would definitely not let him go this time.
Zhao Xunyan looked down at her angry and laughed: "Didn't I tell you to let you stay with me for a while?" ”
"Do you think you'll get out of here alive?" Chu Xuan asked him in a cold voice, if Zhao Xuanyi even wanted to kill himself, no one would be able to escape today.
Zhao Xunyan just raised the corners of his lips, Danfeng's eyes were frivolous, he looked up at Lin Qingyu who was killing here, and said with a smile: "Do you want to save her?" ”
"What do you want to do?" Lin Qingyu asked in a cold voice, at this time, Prince Yu also brought someone to kill, as well as Zheng Yun, who was deceived away.
Zheng Yun was injured, but he still endured severe pain and killed Lin Qingyu: "You go and save Mrs." ”
Zhao Ke also came to help, and there were more and more soldiers who came to do it, and when Zhao Xuanyi couldn't wait to come over, he only saw Lin Qingyu's pure white clothes stained with blood, and his white hair was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
"Your Majesty, the plan has failed."
"It did fail." Zhao Xuanyi said in a cold voice, now it is Zhao Xunyan who has taken Chu Xi, and Zhao Ke has also rushed over, in this way, isn't his plan to make Lin Qingyu and Zhao Ke turn against each other has failed.
But......
The assassin was finally solved, and Lin Qingyu was able to walk in front of Zhao Xunyan, but Zhao Xunyan seemed to be waiting for him to come over, and when Lin Qingyu was still three steps away from him, he finally spoke: "Lin Qingyu, who do you think is more powerful between me and you." ”
"Give me back your sister-in-law, I promise you everything......" Lin Qing stared at him foolishly, for fear that he would fall off this cliff if he was not careful.
Zhao Xunyan seemed to be not afraid of death, took a step back, looked at Lin Qingyu's hand, and laughed: "Promise me anything?" ”
"Yes!"
"Don't ......" Chu Xi wanted to break free, but her bones seemed to be really broken, and she didn't have half the strength.
Zhao Xunyan listened to Chu Xi's desperate voice, his eyes were slightly astringent, as if he had seen the despair of her previous life, and said, "Don't worry, I won't want anything from you, I just want your heart to ache." After that, he raised his head and looked at Zhao Xuanyi in the distance, and said, "Zhao Xuanyi, do you think you won?" ”
When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he turned over and dismounted, ignoring the obstruction of the people around him, and walked here: "What are you talking nonsense?" ”
"Whoever should understand understands what I'm talking about." Zhao Xunyan didn't intend to uncover this ugly fig leaf in front of everyone, but only looked at him sarcastically: "Even if you sit on the country and the world one day, what if you love you and the people you love, they all die under your hands, even if you have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, you are also a lonely person for a lifetime!" ”
Zhao Xuanyi clenched his teeth: "Zhao Xunyan, you have attempted rebellion, and now you are still speaking wildly here, do you think I will still be soft-hearted?" ”
Zhao Xunyan didn't want to argue with him here, so he only laughed sarcastically: "If the emperor thinks that deliberately letting me go up the mountain is soft-hearted, then this soft-heartedness, I will return it to you now......"
He took another half step back, his feet were already half suspended in the air, Zheng Yun's heart also rose to his throat, and he hurriedly stepped forward to grab Lin Qingyu first.
Lin Qingyu let go of the sword in his hand and took a half step forward: "Zhao Xunyan, return your sister to me......"
"Good ......" After Zhao Xunyan finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a smile, hugged Chu Xi tightly and fell straight back.
"Don't ——!" Lin Qingyu's heart-rending roar broke Chu Xi's heart, and she could see his desperate eyes, which made her feel more painful than letting her pierce her heart with ten thousand arrows.
Zheng Yun couldn't hold Lin Qingyu in the end, watching him jump in white clothes, and then fall off the cliff.
Zheng Yun was blindfolded, turned his head to stare at Zhao Xuanyi, but saw that his eyes were red, and he pursed his lips without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, please take someone down to search immediately." Zhao Ke stepped forward directly.
Zhao Xuanyi opened his mouth, and his voice was a little hoarse: "There is an abyss at the bottom, you have to go to the bottom, it will take several days, and by the time you arrive, they will have already been eaten by wild wolves." ”
"Your Majesty!" Zhao Ke still wants to fight again, Lin Qingyu and Chu Ji are both people he admires and are dedicated to helping him, how can he watch them die like this, but whenever there is a glimmer of opportunity, he doesn't want to give up.
Zhao Xuanyi stared at him coldly: "Don't Prince Yu think that it is more meaningful to thoroughly investigate today's affairs than to go down to find a few people who are sure to die!" He hated Zhao Ke, if it weren't for him and Lin Qingyu, he wouldn't have sacrificed Chu Ke.
Zhao Ke saw the killing intent that almost erupted from his eyes, and lowered his head heavily: "Minister......"
"No need to say any more, go back to the palace immediately and thoroughly investigate today's incident!" Zhao Xuanyi seems to have completely changed a person, indifferent and ruthless, and ruthless.
Zhao Ke watched him leave with someone, and Princess Mercy also rushed over and pulled Zhao Ke: "Prince Yu, my father has a letter agreeing to marry you." ”
Zhao Ke took a deep breath and looked back at Zheng Yun, who was stunned on the edge of the cliff with a crimson eye: "I will secretly send someone to you, go down to search for it, I'm afraid you will have to do it." ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Zheng Yun gave up his hand, but the tears finally couldn't help falling.
"And ......" Zhao Ke sighed: "This matter can't be hidden, you immediately write to Hou Ye and General Yang, so that they must be stable." There is a deep pool at the bottom of this cliff, and if God forbids them, they may not die! ”
"Yes!" Zheng Yun didn't say a word, and left in a hurry!
Zhao Ke watched his back leave, but at this time, the merciful hand quietly grabbed his hand: "I will help you." ”
Zhao Ke's palms tightened slightly, and he nodded solemnly.
