Chapter 137: Assassination
The sky in early summer was already a little dreary, and a breeze blew by, blowing Xia Qingyi's forehead and repeatedly breaking hair, and wiping it away with her hands at will. There are thousands of charms but there seems to be no way to elaborate, it only makes people's hearts ripple and sweet, Chu Zexi quietly stared at the moment of peace in front of him, and lost his mind for a whileγγγγγγγ
I don't seem to have been alone with her for a long time, especially when I'm so good-spoken and soft-eyed. This little girl is always as fast as a spark of lightning and lightning whenever she encounters it. Even he himself often wondered why he would be pleased with such an impatient woman, who was not at all like his usual style.
Xiao Nizi looked at the man in front of her inexplicably and stared intently, although this was not the first time that such a scene had happened. But when I met this person's eyes, I could hear the sound of drumming in my heart every time.
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, don't you have something to say to Qingyi?"
In the end, it was Xiao Nizi who broke the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
"Hmmm! Did you hear what the prince and the presiding abbot said? Chu Zexi's sword eyebrows were slightly close at this moment, and his black stone-like eyes were as deep as the sea, as if shining with the brilliance of all things.
Xiao Nizi nodded mechanically, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and shook her head and waved her hand busily.
"No, no, I didn't hear or see anything." As he spoke, he shifted his gaze elsewhere, looking weak.
"Holy Maiden don't have to be nervous, this prince has no intention of avoiding you, in fact, this prince hopes that you can stabilize the country for the sake of Southern Chu."
"Make sure that no one can open the queen's coffin for inspection, and it is best to use your spiritual weapon to tie the coffin firmly!"
Hearing this, Xiao Nizi pulled out her usual baby 'Moon Chopping Silk' from between her sleeves with some uncertainty
"Is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince referring to this?" Shaking the white brocade between her hands, Xiao Nizi repeated uncertainly.
"That's it!" Chu Zexi looked at Xia Qingyi with satisfaction, the origin of her 'moon cutting silk', he was clear, and he naturally understood the power of this spiritual weapon. If there is this thing to protect and bless, then whoever comes can only forget the coffin and sigh.
"There is another thing, if there are thieves intercepting you on the way down the mountain this time, please also ask the saint to protect the coffin as the first responsibility, don't fall in love!"
What do you mean, someone is coming to pick up a coffin? What's the use of a female corpse??? Are the tastes of the ancients so heavy???
Chu Zexi naturally noticed Xiao Nizi's disbelief, and said patiently and seriously.
"This prince is not sure, but this queen's funeral is full of weirdness, and there are many people who want to make a fuss about it."
"You must not let the prince know the tragic situation when his mother died, if you are afraid that Bianjing will be shocked, and you can't let someone with a heart catch the handle."
"Set off a huge wave in the front harem, so, Qing'er, you must guard the coffin."
The man said solemnly, and put his hands on the woman's shoulders.
Xiao Nizi turned her face away, and her slightly invisible chin promisedγγγγγγγ
γγγγγγ
The procession back to Beijing was much larger than when it came, after all, dozens of monks followed the chanting forward, and from a distance, it was not a small battle. With the royal flag of the word 'Chu', the hunters and medicine farmers who came and went knelt down and saluted in fear, who would have thought that they would meet the royal army in this wilderness.
Just when everyone turned the corner of the last mountain road,
"Whoosh! Sou! Whoosh......"
A few sharp swords flew out of nowhere, and then a group of black-clad masked men descended from the sky. Their ghostly figures walked directly towards the coffin without hesitation.
Xia Qingyi's brows tightened, her eyes quickly swept over everyone, and she was amazed in her heart by Chu Zexi's materiality, but she couldn't allow her to study it carefully, and the bright sword blade fell on her head and face.
Quickly closed his eyes and expelled the distracting thoughts, took out a handful of fluorescent light from nowhere, and threw it into the air, at the same time, biting his fingers, quickly sealing, and with the ancient and difficult Gu Wen in his mouth, his body was covered with colorful brilliance,
At the same time, a stream of turquoise light rushed towards the incoming black-clothed man. The woman opened her eyes instantly, and there was a decisive killing intent in her eyesγγγγγγ
Yes! Yes! Yes!......
With a scream, the men in black fell to the ground one by one, their faces covered in blood mist, full of pain, and the fear in their eyes could not be restrained.
"Save me, Holy Maiden, the grass people are just ordered to do things and collect money from people, I don't know if it's your old man's !!?"
"Help us, we don't dare anymore!"
The thieves who fell to the ground were rolling on the ground very tacitly at this moment, and the Gu worms that invaded the skin wantonly devoured the flesh and blood, and after a while, several people were already missing a piece of flesh on their faces, and the bloody look was very terrifying!
Xia Qingyi dispersed, and a colorful glow slowly fell from the sky. Moth eyebrows, clear dust and beautiful, like a fairy in the mortal world, fluttering skirts, do not eat the fireworks of the world.
Who can kill such a beautiful woman with the right talent, like a demon possessed by an evil spirit!!?
"Say, Who sent you!? Confess strictly, resist even stricter! β
The black-clothed man who was almost fainting in pain heard what Xia Qingyi said in a trance, and thought that he had heard it wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it at all, and the heartache had already disintegrated their will.
"Little people, I don't know, it's just that the person who contacted us was an old woman, like a nobleman in the palace."
"How can you be sure she's from the palace?"
Xiao Nizi raised her eyebrows and was a little skeptical of their words.
"The carriage in which the grandmother rode was extremely gorgeous, and the fabrics used in her clothes were extremely difficult to find in even the best ready-to-wear shops on Bianjing Street."
"And the token on her waist to enter and exit the palace gate, the little ones have seen this thing on the father-in-law who came out of the palace from afar."
Xia Qingyi and Chu Zexi exchanged glances, and the other party immediately opened his mouth and continued to ask.
"Have you ever read the words printed on the token?"
"The villain remembers that it should be Shuzi, yes, the little one is actually not very literate, but at that time he had a heart and came back to the private school"
"Learn one stroke at a time to the old gentleman, and it is the gentleman who teaches the book industry to tell the small one."
"Hehe, you're a good seedling who is thoughtful and will plan for yourself."
Chu Zexi didn't laugh angrily, but gave Xia Qingyi a look.
Xiao Nizi carefully took out a round stove from her bosom and lit the herbsγγγγγγ
In an instant, the green Gu worms on the man in black all headed towards the round furnace as if they had been summoned, and Xiao Nizi skillfully opened the lid to welcome her 'laughing babies' back in triumph.
"Before taking the order next time, find out what the background of the person you want to harm is, so reckless, if you meet someone else."
"I'm afraid you little thieves don't know how many times you'll die!?"
Xiao Nizi said jokingly, the man in black thanked him again and again, holding his bloody face, and then carefully looked at the legendary four princes known as the 'medicine jar' of Nanchu.
I saw him, there was a sharp and wise light hidden under the seemingly calm and waveless eyes at the moment, with a handsome face with a strong and deep contour, which was even more imposing, although the pale complexion was a little excessive, but even such a sickly face still made people feel frightened, and there was always a feeling of wanting to stay away!
"Hurry up, there will be a next time, and you will not be spared!"
As soon as the deep but magnetic voice came out, the man in black rushed down the mountain without looking back.
"Just let them go like that? You're not afraid that they'll report it? Xiao Nizi playfully joked about a man who rarely sent a kind heart.
"They are not from the palace, they are just seeking wealth, and they don't need to be killed. In troubled times, who is not living involuntarily. The man looked at their distant backs and thoughtfully uttered such a sentence.
"Your Highness really thinks so?" Xia Qingyi was a little surprised, it stands to reason that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince of Southern Chu, even if he can't win the position of the East Palace, he should be quite confident in his country's Jiangshan Sheji, unlessγγγγγγ
He didn't pay attention to the temporary peace and prosperity of this land, and his ambition should be a wider land.
He wants to dominate the world!!?
"Yes, this prince wants these divided countries to become my territory of Nanchu, are you willing to help me?"
Chu Zexi's burning eyes looked intently at the woman in front of him.
What is this!?
Invitation to form an alliance!?
Confession Request!?
Xia Qingyi's head was in a mess, and she couldn't understand the true intention contained in the man's words at all, so she had to respond unclearly.
"I am the 'holy daughter' of Nanchu, and it is my duty to protect the rivers and mountains of Nanchu!"
The man gave the woman a deep look, and no longer dwelling on the subject, but instead ordered his men to continue on their way.
"After a while, the prince may go out of the city to greet him, and if the presiding abbot can't stop the prince, please ask the 'holy woman' to help."
"The prince must not be allowed to open the coffin for an autopsy!"
Before leaving, he threw down this sentence, got on his horse, and went to the front of the line.
Xiao Nizi, who returned to the carriage, had just sat down when she heard a question in her ear.
"Sister, does he know your mind?" Wanyan Yingge looked at the man's back and suddenly said.
Xia Qingyi shook her head slightly,
"Don't know?" The other party confirmed again.
"I don't know, sister, does he know or doesn't know that serious?" Xiao Nizi stared at the 'Holy Maiden of Western Xinjiang' who always cared about her with some doubts.
"Important! If he knows your heart, you will be happy with each other, and you should not show any signs in front of others. β
"If you let someone listen to a question like Shicai, then sister, you will be in great trouble!"
Wan Yan Yingge's expression instantly became solemn.
"Sister, after I go back, I will have a good chat with His Royal Highness the Four Princes, if he is unscrupulous in front of such a personγγγγγγ"
"Then I won't sit idly by!"
Xia Qingyi looked at Xiao Nizi with puffed cheeks and hugged herself with some amusement.
She really cares about herself, and she is so touched by such a naked expression of true feelings, she is probably the person in this world who cares about herself the most besides her master, father-in-law, and aunt.
Just as he was thinking about it, a loud announcement suddenly came to mind outside the carriage:
"The prince welcomes his mother back to Beijing!"
