After finishing off the last assassin, Li Xingyun stared at the girl opposite him with a gloomy expression. The complaint he was about to express was stuck in his throat because of the girl's soft smile, and he could not speak or swallow it.
"General Li is indeed very brave, and he solved the assassin so quickly." The girl praised sincerely, with a gentle smile and soft eyes that could make water drop. Coupled with the girl's stunning face, anyone who saw it would be impressed.
like.
However, looking at her smile, Li Xingyun couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. Ever since Emperor Qing's edict came down, he had been sent to escort the rumored princess back to the palace. Who knew that someone didn't want her to go back safely?
Assassins kept appearing along the way, all targeting the princess.
The first time I heard the name of this princess was five years ago. At that time, there were constant natural disasters in Daqing. Just when everyone was praying to God and Buddha for mercy, this princess, who was raised in a deep palace and pampered since childhood, was only ten years old.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess took the initiative to become a monk at Yunxin Temple. From then on, she often accompanied the ancient Buddha with green lanterns to pray for the people of Daqing.
At that time, he was not a general, just a small general. His hometown was also hit by a disaster. Seeing that the people were in dire straits, the high-ranking officials only cared about their own leisure and did not care about the lives of the people. At that time, he thought that the more high-ranking people were, the more likely they would be.
She would not take the common people seriously, but at this moment, Princess Yao Ji, who was only ten years old, took the initiative to stand up. Although the method may not be effective, it also shows that she is considerate of the common people.
Although Emperor Qing did not agree to let Yaoji become a monk at that time, he agreed to let her lead her practice at Yunxin Temple under Yaoji's insistence. Since then, there have been a lot less natural disasters in Daqing, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
From then on, Li Xingyun remembered the princess. This time, he took the task of escorting Yao Ji back to the palace with great effort. When the army heard that he was escorting the fairy princess,
Almost all the generals competed for this task, and in the end they even competed in the ring. He fought hard and was injured before finally accepting this task.
But who knew that this princess looks like a fairy, has a gentle face like a Bodhisattva, but has the heart of a witch!
At first, Li Xingyun was fascinated by Yao Ji's gentle smile, but when he saw Yao Ji smiling like this when facing the assassin and the corpse, especially the corpse was so horrific that even a grown man could not bear to see it.
Keep trembling!
Li Xingyun really couldn't figure out why this princess, who had stayed in the palace for ten years and in the temple for five years, was so weird!
One scene he will never forget is the time they captured an assassin alive. After questioning to no avail, the seemingly weak Princess smiled and described all kinds of torture to the assassin.
, and finally tortured the man until he lost consciousness. When he was carried out, he had become a madman, and even death became a luxury.
Naturally, Li Xingyun would not know that this princess who looked so weak was born with memories, and that she was born in the underworld in her previous life. She had always been a ruthless master, and was the witch Situ Yao who was feared by everyone in the underworld.
And Yaoji's initiative to go to Yunxin Temple was not for the sake of the people of Daqing. Even if she was reborn once, she never believed in such strange things. She proposed to go to Yunxin Temple to become a monk just to leave the palace, and in Yunxin Temple
The person who had accompanied the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng for five years was just her substitute. As soon as Yao Ji came out, she went to Wuji Mountain to learn from her master.
There are very few people who know about this matter, especially an upright soldier like Li Xingyun, who would never know or guess it.
If it were just a smile, Li Xingyun would only think that Yao Ji was weird and creepy, but another thing Yao Ji did made Li Xingyun secretly hate her.
Since the first batch of assassins appeared, Yao Ji proposed to change the carriage. This was okay. Li Xingyun originally had no objection, but the carriage Yao Ji replaced was extremely ostentatious. Not only was the body made of fine ebony wood, but
Even the curtains on the carriage are made of the hard-to-find Huanyun gauze, and the carriage is pulled by Ta Xue, a good horse from a thousand miles away. How can Li Xingyun, who has always loved horses, not feel dissatisfied?
After Yao Ji changed the carriage, the carriage, which was obviously expensive to build, became a living target. Not only did assassins come in an endless stream, but it also attracted many snitches and robbers.
The only thing that made Li Xingyun happy was that Yao Ji still wore a veil to cover up her stunning appearance. Otherwise, he had no doubt that there would be a lot more flower pickers among the visitors!
It is hot summer now, and the midday sun is so poisonous that it can kill people. Li Xingyun silently warned himself not to look at Yao Ji's smile, while directing his men to deal with the corpses of the assassins, while silently calculating where to go.
The distance to the nearest Liyang City and the time required.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the wind and clouds changed, and the scorching sun was shrouded in thick dark clouds. Judging from this situation, it would rain soon, and it would be a heavy rain.
Knowing that they would not be able to reach Liyang City before the heavy rain came down, Li Xingyun had to decide to settle in the nearest Qingshan Town first. After all, it didn't matter if he or the soldiers got soaked, but if the always pampered Yao Ji got soaked, then they would
Bad luck.
When the time comes, not only will Emperor Qing not let them go, but even the people of Daqing will not let them go, and they will have no shame in going back to see their fellow villagers in their hometown.
He had no objection to going to Qingshan Town Yao Ji, but Li Xingyun felt secretly bitter when he thought about the battle. Such a spectacular carriage would attract a crowd of onlookers in a big city, let alone a remote small town.
By then, I still don’t know what it will be like!
Li Xingyun's premonitions are always very accurate, and this time they are even more accurate.
Qingshan Town is an ordinary town, because apart from that there is no village or shop. Many merchants will choose to settle in Qingshan Town. This has developed the economy of Qingshan Town in disguise, but if it develops further, it will still be a small town.
It is a small town, and the people who come and go are just ordinary businessmen traveling around. People with real status have good horses traveling thousands of miles to travel, so they neither despise nor need to come to such a small town.
Therefore, as soon as their group arrived, everyone's attention was locked. Whether it was local residents or businessmen who came to Qingshan Town to rest and stay overnight, they all focused their attention on their group.
Li Xingyun clearly felt Shudao's eyes glancing at his face first, and then turned to stare at Yao Ji's carriage as if disappointed.
Not only did the car look extremely cool, it was also smoked with expensive incense. The fragrance seemed to be there, although it was very light, it could not be ignored.
Originally, Li Xingyun liked the scent from the bottom of his heart because it had a refreshing effect and made people feel refreshed. However, if the price wasn't so ridiculously high, Li Xingyun felt that he would like it even more.
