Although various suspicious signs were found in Yonghe Buzhuang, the group's trip was not delayed. Fu Chu worriedly told Gu Zhong to be more careful and then got into the carriage with worries, and there was inevitably a hint of caution in his eyes.
"Zhonggu said that there were no blood stains or scratches in that area, and the color looked like it had been scratched recently. It was basically certain that someone was hiding in the side yard last night." Bai Qige held her cheek with one hand and her forearm with the other, her eyes full.
He was confused, "Fu Chu saw that the man seemed to be holding a weapon, and it was very possible that he was planning to commit murder. In other words, the mysterious man who took the man away helped us in a sense. As for whether it was intentional or unintentional.
It’s unknown.”
"But one thing is for sure. This mysterious man is very strong and has good qinggong. Even I would have a hard time lifting an adult with such a high courtyard wall." Yi Chenjing added.
Yi Chenjing is very talented, especially in boxing, kicking, and military leadership. Among the princes, he is the only one who does not have the guidance of a famous master to practice martial arts, but he is also the best in kung fu, although he is not as good as Zhan Zhan, who has practiced martial arts since childhood.
Ting, it is more than enough to take care of the average martial arts master. If even Yi Chenjing says that someone is superb in martial arts, then this person must be a master without a doubt.
The conversation between the two made Ye Huawan, who was not good at analysis, very depressed, "What's the use of thinking so much? Anyway, we have left Jicheng, so just be careful on the road ahead." Seeing Bai Qige still immersed in thinking, Ye Hua
Wan hesitated for a moment, then gently poked the back of Yi Chenjing's hand: "Brother Chen, I know martial arts and can help you."
"Yes, thank you."
Ye Huawan was slightly disappointed by the perfunctory reply. Ning Xizui saw it and smiled meaningfully, her green eyes seeming to see through everything.
What you like, what you don't like, what you love, what you don't love, the seventh prince of Dayao, who has a peerless war concubine and an unparalleled adviser, has an unexpectedly straightforward temperament. Even when facing a little girl like Ye Huawan, he is merciless.
He didn't even tell a white lie, but the dedication he showed made Ning Xizui look at him with admiration - Yi Chenjing cherished Bai Qige even more than he did when he was in the army.
After leaving Jicheng, we continued heading east. There were mostly villages and farmhouses on the road, which was much safer in comparison. No one in the car mentioned what happened last night, but everyone felt knotted in their hearts. The relaxed atmosphere when they first started on the road was gone.
Cun. Yi Chenjing was inevitably sleepy after not sleeping all night. She dozed off before noon, and fell on Bai Qige's shoulder in a daze. Bai Qige couldn't help but feel distressed by her tired face.
He is still very young, but he has experienced hundreds of times more things than ordinary people. He doesn't know if there will be a day when all the hardships will be over and he will be able to relax and stop working hard in the rest of his life.
Maybe the carriage was too bumpy, so Yi Chenjing didn't sleep for a long time. When he woke up, Ye Huawan and Ning Xizui were not there. Only Bai Qige insisted on being his pillow. She straightened up and stretched out, taking advantage of Bai Qige not paying attention.
With a light kiss on her fair cheek, facing the surprised and angry Bai Qige, Yi Chenjing was as calm as a gangster.
"Why did I find you, a deceitful person like you? Your sexual nature has not changed."
"Who molested me in the past two days? I'll return the favor to you."
During the war, Yi Chenjing, who was far-sighted and far-sighted in his tactics, would occasionally display his youthful nature in an incredible way. Only Bai Qige could see this. Every time, she would always lament that God had tricked people. She was the ruthless enemy general in the past.
The childhood sweetheart who wanted to humiliate her wholeheartedly and make her life worse than death has disappeared. The relationship now is something that she could not have imagined a year ago. In the past, she also hated this time-travel with reversed identities, but now not only does she not feel resentful,
Instead, she gradually believed that this was a gift from God, which gave her the family she longed for, the opportunity to pursue her ambitions, a confidant with similar interests, and a husband she loved deeply.
In this life, I want nothing more.
The sudden soft gaze puzzled Yi Chenjing, her fingers intertwined, and her soft body leaned against his chest.
"I will do whatever it takes to help you become king. In return, you must give me a place to return to. There is no need for a phoenix crown or harem, or for worship from all the people. As long as you, me, and our children, that's enough."
Bai Qige couldn't see that the gentleness on the handsome face suddenly disappeared, turning into bitterness between the thin lips.
How long can the secret be kept hidden? When the secret breaks, will her heart be broken together? Yi Chenjing doesn't know when that day will come. If possible, he hopes to hide it from Bai Qige for the rest of his life and never let her face it.
For the cruel truth. But he also had a heart and was heartbroken. Thinking of her lying unconscious in a pool of blood that day and her desolate and desperate look after waking up, his internal organs felt like they were being tortured and he was in pain.
Caressing her silky long hair, Yi Chenjing looked out the car window at the bright sunshine and forced a smile: "I promise to give you everything."
Everyone should have their own destiny, a man should have a family and a career, and a woman should have a man who loves her. Otherwise, something will lose its normalcy and fall into chaos.
What about those concubines who are locked up in the palace, and those concubines who have three wives and four concubines?
Nature is the best tool to stir up trouble and chaos.
Surao could no longer remember how many times Prime Minister Zuo's essence and blood had been left on the bed in her bedroom. She was afraid that every time Prime Minister Zuo showed up with a sinister smile, she would wake up from her sleep; she complained that Yi Chenjing had left her alone in the dust collection.
Xuan was humiliated by others; she hated Bai Qige who had taken away the possibility of rehabilitating her and her sister; she also laughed, laughing that she had brought it upon herself, and that her intention to harm others would eventually reap the bitter consequences.
However, she can't look back. The big mistake has been made. All she can do is stick to it, and maybe there will be a glimmer of hope.
"I know where Concubine Jing is hiding," one night, when she climbed onto Yi Chenxuan's bed and threw herself into his arms, she begged with a hint of humility in her smile, "I'll tell you if you let me go."
On the second day after that, Zhan Ting, who wanted to rush to join Yi Chenjing, had to give up the trip and stood proudly with Qiao Qingxu in a small courtyard deep in the mountains, surrounded by corpses on the ground.
"It is said that raising an army for a thousand days only takes a moment. If the emperor gives you good food and clothes, will it only hinder you at the critical moment?" Qiao Qingxu sneered and looked at the pale Ou Suiliang with disdain.
Zhan Ting shook his head to stop Qiao Qingxu from continuing, took out the medicine and handed it to Ou Suiliang respectfully: "General Ou, these people are experienced killers. What they are best at is various means of sneak attacks. The Imperial Army
No matter how strong you are, you will never be able to defeat their despicability. Zhan Ting is of low status and shouldn’t talk too much, but for the sake of Concubine Jing’s safety, we can only look at each other and beg for help – this place is no longer safe, please take Concubine Jing and the others away as soon as possible.”
"Aren't you going to come together?" Ou Suiliang wrinkled his gray eyebrows.
"Qingxu and I have important matters to attend to and cannot continue to guard. The safety of the concubine Jing is entrusted to General O." Zhan Ting glanced at the gloomy sky in the west and clenched his iron fists, "You can go anywhere except returning to the palace.
It's best to find a place far away from the imperial capital. Concubine Jing is frightened and is in a daze. If she continues like this, she will collapse. I promised Your Highness to keep Concubine Jing safe and sound. Now that I have no skills, I can only ask the general for help.
."
Ou Suiliang took a deep breath, covered the wound on his arm and stared directly at Zhan Ting's eyes: "Are you... looking for the Seventh Prince?"
Zhan Ting lowered his head and did not answer.
"What, does this general want to find out the information about the seventh prince and tell the master of these thieves? Or does the emperor want to protect the vicious and insidious fifth prince without his wife and son?" Qiao Qingxu doesn't care.
What is Suiliang's identity? The mockery and disgust in his tone are clear.
Ou Suiliang's face darkened: "Girl, think twice before speaking. This general was ordered by the emperor to protect the concubine, so how could he try to harm the seventh prince? The emperor was so heartbroken by the news of the seventh prince's death that he fell ill and has not recovered yet. This shows that
The seventh prince is very important in the heart of the emperor, but the girl complains all the time, and even speaks rudely to the fifth prince, which is a bit biased and extreme."
Both Qiao Qingxu and Zhan Ting knew that today's killers were sent by Yi Chenxuan, but Ou Suiliang did not know the inside story. The outspoken Qiao Qingxu insulted Yi Chenxuan several times, which directly led to a deep estrangement between the two.
Zhan Ting had a headache when she was caught in the middle of the exchange. Helplessly pushing Qiao Qingxu aside, Zhan Ting bowed respectfully: "Anyway, I'll leave the honorary concubine to General I -"
Before he finished speaking, a shrill scream came from the room.
Zhan Ting's face was gloomy, and Ou Suiliang was not much better. He turned his head away and looked unbearable. Qiao Qingxu glared at Ou Suiliang, opened the door and hurried into the room.
In the messy room, Concubine Jing was lying on the couch. Next to her were Jin Zhaoyi, Su Yan, and Yu Che, all of whom were sobbing with tears on their faces. The three pairs of hands unanimously held down Concubine Jing's struggling hands and feet. Qiao Qingxu
Sighing, he pulled out the sweat towel and threw it to Yu Che: "Okay, don't cry. Who are you crying for? Her illness is caused by excessive fear. She will get better soon if she calms down. You just need to watch.
Don't let her move around and hurt herself. Zhan Ting has already told the old man to take you away, so be careful on the way."
"Sister Qingxu, can't you and Brother Zhan leave one person alone? I'm afraid that General I won't be able to fight those people..." Yu Che said in a low voice as he wiped away his tears.
"Silly girl, do you think the situation over there with your Highness is better than here?" Qiao Qingxu rubbed the top of Yu Che's head, "The fifth prince will definitely send the main force to chase after His Highness if he knows that he is still alive. Although the killer who came here today is
They are much stronger than before, but they are not considered masters. The real masters are probably going to your highness." Looking back at Zhan Ting, who was standing helpless and bowing his head outside the door, Qiao Qingxu lowered her voice:
"I have invited several friends on the road to rush to Xichu from various places. Even if these people together can handle it, I still don't know. Without the two of us, wouldn't we be more vulnerable?"
Yu Che is not ignorant. She is smart and clever. After spending a long time with Bai Qige, she can see these situations more clearly than ordinary people. She is strong and brave in her bones and is loved by Qiao Qingxu. After hearing what Qiao Qingxu said, Yu Che also
After making another unreasonable request, he took off a bracelet from his wrist and stuffed it into Qiao Qingxu's hand.
"This is what the young lady gave me. If Sister Qingxu sees the young lady, please help me pass it on, saying that Yu Che will risk his life to protect the concubine. The young lady can just help His Highness with peace of mind. On the day of goodbye, Yu Che personally said to
Miss, please take back this bracelet." A strong smile appeared on the girl's pretty face. That smile reminded Qiao Qingxu of herself in a trance when she was young. She was so passionate and willing to do anything to live up to the trust of others.
Then Qiao Qingxu smiled bitterly - isn't she the same now?
She travels all over the world for someone but never complains, even if that person is as stupid as a cow and doesn't understand her thoughts at all.
After looking at the mentally disturbed Concubine Jing, Qiao Qingxu patted Yu Che on the shoulder and turned around to leave. She was still so heroic when she passed by Zhan Ting, but there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes that was not easy to detect.
"Zhan Ting, cheer up for me. I won't let you go if you make any mistakes."
The sentence was not finished, and the second half remained silent on his lips, spreading to the sky as the breeze in the mountains blew.
She just wanted to wait until the day he understood it before speaking out. It must be interesting to see him blushing and panicking?
