Chapter 176: Here He Comes
"Okay, Li Xiang is so bold. How dare you calculate against me? β
The eldest prince suddenly felt like a fool.
My mind is quickly filtering everything that is happening.
Since his father decided on Li Muyao's marriage, he thought that the position of the East Palace was in his hands, but he didn't expect it to be reversed at the last moment.
Perhaps, Li Xiang's plan from the beginning was not to kill Jiang Huaiyin, but to target himself.
People are on the verge of extreme despair, and they are always cranky.
The eldest prince has never been half annoyed, and never thinks that all the fault lies with himself.
His mentally retarded words annoyed Li Muyao.
Li Muyao faced the eldest prince's questioning, and the long sword in her hand couldn't help but point at the eldest prince, "No matter what she says, there is only one thing I agree with." You are incorrigible, and you are not able to get into the hall of elegance. Why did I insist on thinking that you could inherit the unification and be in charge of the country? β
Murong Xi said a few words casually, and it completely aroused the backbone of the eldest prince, and Li Muyao was suddenly glad that the eldest prince had broken his arm before canonizing the crown prince.
In the future, if the dust settles and Murong Xi says a few words slandering her in front of the eldest prince, she has no doubt that the eldest prince will indiscriminately give her to death.
"How dare you speak to me with such an attitude?" The eldest prince was so angry that he rushed forward and raised his hand, wanting to attack Li Muyao.
Li Muyao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously raised the sword in her hand and aimed it at the chest of the eldest prince, "Don't come here, you still can't understand it?" Is she running for time? β
The eldest prince froze in place with righteous indignation, and looked left and right at Murong Xi and Li Muyao, compared to Li Muyao, he really wanted to get rid of Murong Yao first.
Flicking his sleeves suddenly, the eldest prince said viciously: "This matter is not over. β
Then he nodded at the guard behind him, "Kill her!" β
Murong Xi clenched the Buddha beads in his hand, and the nerves in his body tensed.
As early as when the two were tense, she began to think about whether to escape first or fight back.
The number of Buddha beads is not enough, at most kill Li Muyao and the eldest prince.
But in the end, he will end up being killed on the spot by the guards.
Wounding the enemy by 1,000 and self-inflicting 800 is not cost-effective.
Murong Xi immediately made a judgment, turned around and rushed into the dense forest.
"Chase! Don't let people run! The eldest prince and Li Muyao exclaimed at the same time, and looked at each other, both of them saw disgust in each other's eyes.
Murong Xi's body is no match for a well-trained guard.
Before he had run a few steps, the sound of footsteps behind him was getting closer and closer.
took out a packet of poison powder, Murong Xi raised his head behind him without looking back, and accelerated his speed to escape.
The two guards who rushed to the front couldn't dodge, inhaled a large amount of powder, and their limbs suddenly involuntarily sluggish.
Someone shouted, "She's poisoned, be careful." β
The rest of the men began to disperse in pursuit.
Lin Zhong's vision became darker and darker, and Murong Xi's physical strength became more and more overdrawn.
She ran breathlessly, with the occasional sound of a sharp blade piercing the air at her side.
A flying sword was always aimed at her vital point.
Murong Xi relied on her reaction to dodge, but unfortunately she was scratched on the outside of her calf.
Blood began to gush, but she didn't dare to slow down, and continued to run aimlessly.
Seeing that the person behind him was about to chase after him, there seemed to be a triumphant sneer in the hurried footsteps.
At the last moment, Murong Xi suddenly stopped, and suddenly turned around and pressed the mechanism on the Buddha beads.
"Bang!"
The guard's smile froze at the corner of his lips before he could fully bloom, and he fell straight down.
"I really underestimated you!"
Li Muyao was chasing in the distance, and seeing that Murong Xi had put down another guard, Li Muyao smiled and said, "Let's go up together and kill her!" β
"Bang! Bang! Bang! β
Just as her words fell, a muffled sound came from the woods.
Li Muyao and the eldest prince both stopped, looking at the guards who fell to the ground in disbelief, and their backs suddenly cooled, as if a very fast cold wind passed by them.
The eldest prince's scalp is numb, this feeling is too familiar.
Familiar with him, there will be fear in his bones.
Coming back to his senses from the wood, the dim forest as far as the eye of the Great Prince seemed to have been enchanted, highlighting a white whirlwind, shuttling between the guards and the guards.
After the wind swept away, the guards did not make any other moves, only looked at each other in a daze, and then fell down one after another, rolling down the hill.
In the end, the whirlwind finally stopped beside Murong Xi.
His vision gradually cleared, and an indifferent and dangerous face appeared in the eyes of the eldest prince.
"Emperor, Emperor, Uncle-"
This fear is instinctive, engraved in the bones, and innate.
The eldest prince's lips were trembling, he was sure that he was not dazzled, and the proud figure standing there was indeed Jiang Huaiyin!
Jiang Huaiyin's slightly narrowed cold eyes stayed on the eldest prince's face for a long time, and then turned sideways slightly, the chill faded, and a touch of tenderness spread.
"You're hurt?"
Murong Xi had imagined countless times since he forced Night Blade to leave that Jiang Huaiyin would appear beside him immediately.
When he saw that the living Jiang Huaiyin standing in front of him was not a phantom made up by himself, Murong Xi's eyes began to mist, his nose was sore, and his body threw himself into Jiang Huaiyin's arms uncontrollably.
"When you came, I knew you would!"
The people present, including Jiang Huaiyin, were all surprised by Murong Xi's actions.
Especially the Great Prince.
He still doesn't know where he lost.
It's obviously herself who is her childhood sweetheart, and it's herself who is obviously happy with her.
Why does she rely so much on the affectionate Jiang Huaiyin?
As if feeling the change in the eldest prince's mood, Jiang Huaiyin raised his eyebrows, slowly raised his hand to wrap his arms around Murong Xi's waist, and tightly wrapped her in his arms.
In the end, he actually looked at the eldest prince with a provocative gaze.
The eldest prince has never felt so depressed.
He turned his head away and avoided Jiang Huaiyin's direct gaze, and happened to see Li Muyao's eyes flashing slightly, as if there were signs of escape.
Murong Xi can't be killed today, the eldest prince put all his hatred on Li Muyao's body, and at the moment she left, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Li Muyao's arm, "Where are you going?" Dare to assassinate the princess and the prince, I think you are tired of living? β
Li Muyao's pupils shrank sharply, and she instinctively wanted to shake off the clamp of the eldest prince, "What did you say?" Today's plan is clearly yours - poof! β
The next words, Li Muyao couldn't speak.
At the moment when the eldest prince grabbed her, the other hand also snatched the long sword in her hand and stabbed her chest without thinking.
The cold blade enveloped all the hatred of the eldest prince, stirring and tearing in her heartβ
Li Muyao spit out a mouthful of blood, lowered her head to look at his hand in front of her chest, and laughed at herself.
She regrets it!
If she could have withdrawn earlier, if she hadn't pinned all her hopes on the eldest prince, her ending would at least be better than Murong Xi, right?
