Chapter 164: Deadly Poison
Early in the morning of the third day, there were already 10,000 soldiers around Wuli Pavilion, and standing in the middle of the pavilion were Ye Ningxiang, who was tied by ropes with countless long knives against his neck, Ji Beihuan with a handsome man's mask, and Mu Jingyuan, who once said that he liked Ye Ningxiang.
"Ye Ningxiang, don't blame me, if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. The corners of Mu Jingyuan's eyes were moist, and his tone was pretending to be firm, but his face showed strong guilt. "It was you who deceived me first, it was you who colluded with Xiao Qingyu to try to destabilize the country and leave the country, all of which you did on your own. ”
Ye Ningxiang's face did not have half a trace of fear, but instead smiled at Mu Jingyuan, with a smile of contempt and even ridicule.
"I thought you were a hot-blooded man with affection and righteousness, but I didn't expect that you were a ruthless and unrighteous person who killed Zhongliang, framed his biological father, and kidnapped his friends!"
Ye Ningxiang's words touched Mu Jingyuan's sore spot, Mu Jingyuan clenched his hands into fists, his face was sad, "Enough, you shut up, I don't want to hear it." ”
"Your Majesty, it's useless for you to do this, Xiao Qingyu is a vicious, ruthless and unrighteous person, and it is simply impossible to threaten him with my life to send him to death!"
Ye Ningxiang laughed even more, revealing an even stronger ridicule for Mu Jingyuan's stupid behavior. However, her smile soon froze, for she suddenly saw a tall, thin man on a white horse approaching not far from the Wuli Pavilion.
Although she didn't believe it in her heart, the person who was riding a white horse towards them was really Xiao Qingyu.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyu was really alone, and he came alone, and two hours earlier than the agreed time.
"Mr. Xiao is really punctual and trustworthy!"
Seeing that Xiao Qingyu arrived ahead of schedule and was single-handed, Mu Jingyuan showed irrepressible excitement.
"Oh, by the way, it's time to call you the Second Prince. ”
While speaking, Mu Jingyuan personally poured a large bowl of tea for Xiao Qingyu and handed it to Xiao Qingyu, who was in the dust. I saw that Xiao Qingyu took the tea bowl without hesitation, and drank the tea in the bowl in two sips. Then, he poured his own tea without seeing it, and drank three bowls in a row.
After calming his breath a little, Xiao Qingyu calmed down and said, "Now that I have come to you, let Ye Ningxiang leave." ”
"Ye Ningxiang, it seems that Xiao Qingyu cares more about your life and death than you imagined. When he said this, a trace of jealousy flashed in Mu Jingyuan's eyes, although his feelings for Ye Ningxiang were not real love, but when he saw another man willing to sacrifice his life for Ye Ningxiang, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
Expecting that Xiao Qingyu and Ye Ningxiang would never be able to break through the encirclement of 10,000 people, Mu Jingyuan glanced at the soldiers beside Ye Ningxiang, and the soldiers withdrew the long knives on Ye Ningxiang's body, and then untied the ropes on Ye Ningxiang's body.
With the crisp sound of the iron chain falling to the ground, Ye Ningxiang rushed to Xiao Qingyu with an arrow step, her expression was complicated, looking at Xiao Qingyu's eyes revealing infinite sadness, but she didn't know what to say.
"What are you going to do with me?"
Xiao Qingyu's words were straightforward, and he asked about what Mu Jingyuan and Ji Beihuan had always wanted to do.
Ji Beihuan smiled wickedly, and there was a small wooden box with exquisite workmanship in his hand, looking like he was bound to win.
"Xiao Qingyu, you have always been strategic, cruel, cold-blooded and ruthless, but I didn't expect that today you would be unable to escape a love word, folded in the hands of a little woman. Ji Beihuan glanced at Ye Ningxiang, who was pale and sad, and his smile was even brighter.
Ji Beihuan cautiously opened the small wooden box, only to see a thumbnail-sized black-brown pill in the center of the wooden box, which was still shining under the reflection of the sunlight.
"As long as you can eat this poison, we will let you go in peace. ”
Ji Beihuan had just finished speaking, and before he could react, he saw that the medicine in the small wooden box in his hand had already fallen into Xiao Qingyu's mouth, and when everyone didn't react, Xiao Qingyu swallowed the pill in one gulp.
"Childe, Childe, don't do this, you hurry, spit it out, spit it out, you will die!"
When Ye Ningxiang reacted that Xiao Qingyu had swallowed the poison, it was difficult for the whole person to keep his senses anymore, and while mourning and crying, he tried his best to beat Xiao Qingyu's back, hoping that the pill that had just entered his stomach could be spit out of his mouth.
"You are willing to cry for me, you are willing to feel heartache for me, does it mean that I am not a villain full of evil in your heart? ”
Xiao Qingyu smiled, gently stroking the tips of Ye Ningxiang's hair, and a pair of bewitching apricot eyes revealed a deep affection and honey that she had never felt before.
Ye Ningxiang grabbed Xiao Qingyu's hand hanging in the air, but this hand suddenly became cold, and just a light touch made Ye Ningxiang's hairs stand on end.
"Childe, Ning Xiang doesn't blame you, Ning Xiang doesn't hate you, if there was no child, Ning Xiang would have starved to death on the streets of Yingdu, you are good to Ning Xiang, your kindness to Ning Xiang, Ning Xiang all remembers!"
When she spoke, Ye Ningxiang had already been unable to cry, but in an instant, her tears had already wet her clothes.
Unlike Ye Ningxiang, who was saddened that Xiao Qingyu was about to die soon, the other people in the Wuli Pavilion all had doubts on their faces, wondering whether Xiao Qingyu had eaten this death-defying poison.
"Ningxiang, let's go. ”
Xiao Qingyu didn't say anything more, grabbed Ye Ningxiang's arm and walked towards the outside of Wuli Pavilion. Xiao Qingyu took the poison, ate the poison, and then calmly left with Ye Ningxiang, a series of things went too smoothly, so smooth that Mu Jingyuan felt that Xiao Qingyu was secretly cheating, and did not swallow the poison.
So Mu Jingyuan hurriedly and cautiously opened his mouth: "Yulin Army, surround them." ”
At the same moment as he spoke, Xiao Qingyu, who was pulling Ye Ningxiang and walking out, suddenly lost his strength, his legs became weak, and he knelt on the ground.
Mu Jingyuan hurriedly stepped forward, only to see Xiao Qingyu's face pale, his head lowered, relying on Ye Ningxiang's strength to prevent him from losing support and falling to the ground.
"Childe, Ning Xiang won't let you have anything to do, let's go back to Rui Country immediately, and I will take you to find the best doctor in Rui Country to detoxify you!"
The moment Xiao Qingyu pulled her away, she still fantasized that Xiao Qingyu hadn't eaten the poison, but as Xiao Qingyu fell to her knees, her only remaining fantasy came to naught again, and her only remaining hope disappeared again.
Xiao Qingyu smiled, stretched out his hand to wipe away the bright red blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Mu Jingyuan's eyes with disdain and disdain.
"Why, the emperor is afraid that I won't be able to cheat!"
Mu Jingyuan didn't resist, he glanced at Ji Beihuan, only to see Ji Beihuan quickly rush to Xiao Qingyu's side, a big hand rudely pressed Xiao Qingyu's vein, and after a while, Ji Beihuan showed a victorious smile. Because Xiao Qingyu really ate the poison, because Xiao Qingyu really fell into the poison of death, because Xiao Qingyu was really certain to die.
When Ji Beihuan happily withdrew his hand to check Xiao Qingyu's pulse, Xiao Qingyu did not hesitate at all, pulled Ye Ningxiang to get up, and dragged his weak body towards his white horse.
Looking at the back of Ye Ningxiang and Xiao Qingyu leaving, Mu Jingyuan suddenly felt very heartbroken, and could even be said to be guilty, he forcibly endured the emotions surging in his heart and didn't speak for a long time.
Ji Beihuan invited merit earnestly, and said with a flattering attitude: "Congratulations to the emperor for getting rid of Xiao Qingyu, the number one rival." ”
"Get out. ”
Ji Beihuan's flattering words were not exchanged for Mu Jingyuan's appreciation, let alone Mu Jingyuan's appreciation, but an angry look and the faceless word "roll".
Mu Jingyuan only took two steps outside the Wuli Pavilion, only to hear Ji Beihuan's words behind him suddenly become gentle, so gentle that there was an irresistible magic.
Mu Jingyuan stopped uncontrollably, waiting for Ji Beihuan to walk in front of him. Ji Beihuan's eyes became very weird, making Mu Jingyuan feel his scalp tighten as soon as he looked at each other, and his movements seemed to be uncontrollable.
"Your Majesty, except for Xiao Qingyu, shouldn't you be happy!"
"Yes, I'm very happy. ”
"Your Majesty, you're tired, it's time to go back and rest. ”
"Yes, I'm tired, it's time to go back and rest. ”
Ye Ningxiang on the white horse continued to speed up the horse's progress, while Xiao Qingyu behind her, her body was getting heavier and heavier, if it weren't for a pair of arms still tightly wrapped around her waist, she would probably think that Xiao Qingyu had fainted and lost consciousness.
Ye Ningxiang suddenly remembered something, and her gray-like face suddenly showed the hope of rebirth.
"Childe, I remembered that I have a pill in my hand that brings the dead back to life, as long as we can return to Xiao Mansion, I can save your life. So Childe, you have to hold on. ”
"The medicine to revive the dead?" Xiao Qingyu snorted coldly and continued: "Okay, I will definitely hold on." ”
Fate is really ridiculous, he Xiao Qingyu tried his best to break up Ye Ningxiang and Mu Xize, but he didn't expect that now he would tie his life and death to the elixir that Mu Xize refined with the nine-tailed fox heart. Xiao Qingyu shook his head, as if he was very helpless about such a situation.
In a wilderness outside the city of Nightfall, Goofy and hundreds of guards were waiting there. Gao Fei knew that this place was the only way to lead from south to north, and the spies sent from the front had already sent a message that his master had rushed to the direction of Ruiguo with Ye Ningxiang, so as long as they stayed here, they would definitely be able to meet Xiao Qingyu and Ye Ningxiang.
Sure enough, when night fell, a white horse came in front of them, and on top of the white horse sat two people, a man and a woman, and the man sat in the back, but leaned his whole body against the woman, as if his body was extremely weak.
"Childe, the high guard has brought someone to pick us up, and we will return to Rui Kingdom soon. ”
Ye Ningxiang was overjoyed, and turned her head to look at Xiao Qingyu who was in a semi-comatose state. Xiao Qingyu was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to speak, she just nodded her head leaning on her shoulder slightly, which made Ye Ningxiang's nervous heart relax slightly, Xiao Qingyu was not unconscious, Xiao Qingyu was still alive.
Seeing that the man behind Ye Ningxiang who could barely support his body was actually his master Xiao Qingyu, Gao Fei ran desperately to Ye Ningxiang, looking so excited that he almost cried.
"Childe, Childe, how did he become like this?"
"Childe, he has been poisoned, we must rush back to Xiao Mansion as soon as possible, otherwise Childe's life will not be guaranteed!"
Ye Ningxiang said as she dismounted, and together with Gao Fei, she helped Xiao Qingyu off the horse. Xiao Qingyu had just stood firm on the ground, retching repeatedly, and soon, a large mouthful of blackened blood gushed out of his mouth.
As the blood spat out, he seemed to be much more energetic than before, and his originally closed eyes finally had the strength to break open again. He turned his head to look at the man who was holding his arm from the side, and his eyes were warm and his heart was hot.
"Goofy, thank you for your hard work. ”
