On the second floor of the small building at the back of Prince Qing's Mansion, Zhang Yanling was sitting at the table under the candlelight. He was slowly wiping the gun in his hand with a silk scarf. The soft silk scarf slid over the hard and cold fine iron.
, every part of the fire gun was polished spotlessly.
Zhu Qingyi sat across the table, with her beautiful eyes on her beautiful face under her high-knit hair, never leaving Zhang Yanling's body for a moment.
She knew that this man was preparing wholeheartedly for what he was going to do. Zhu Qingyi used to hate fighting and killing, and hated those who fought and killed. But now, she doesn't think so.
When a man wants to fight, he does not necessarily mean to be brave and ruthless. They want to uphold the justice they want to uphold, protect the person they want to protect, and do the right thing they want to do.
The man in front of me came all the way from the capital to Ningxia Town, crossed the raging Yellow River, crossed the dangerous desert mountains, and entered the Ningxia city where tigers and wolves were everywhere. What he wanted to do was certainly not as simple as being brave and ruthless.
Perhaps, he is the person sent by God to save him. At this moment, the people he wants to protect include himself.
Thinking of this, a warm current surged in Zhu Qingyi's heart, and she felt a kind of happiness she had never experienced before. It was a feeling she had never experienced in the past twenty years of her life. In just three days, she went from despair to
I saw the light and felt the taste of happiness.
"It would be great if he was not married. If he were my husband, even if it was only for a few days, that would be a great thing."
Such thoughts came to Zhu Qingyi's mind. Although she felt that she was a bit unrealistic and shameless. But such thoughts really came to Zhu Qingyi's mind.
"If he dies tonight, this will be the last time I see him. What a pity that would be. Maybe I will remember him for the rest of my life. Hey, Zhu Qingyi, what are you thinking about?
How can he be so pessimistic? He must be alive, he must be successful. Bodhisattva bless him, Bodhisattva bless him alive. If he can live, I am willing...willing...to do anything."
The thoughts in Zhu Qingyi's mind were ups and downs. Zhang Yanling, who was sitting opposite her, had no idea that the woman in front of him was stirring up a storm in her heart.
"Click!" Zhang Yanling pulled the bolt, neatly stuffed a piece of ammunition into the gun chamber, and reset the gun chamber with a click. The whole process took less than two breaths. This made Zhang Yanling smile with satisfaction.
.
"Master Marquis, are you ready?" Zhu Qingyi asked softly.
Zhang Yanling raised her head and saw Zhu Qingyi's sparkling eyes, nodded and said: "It has been prepared for a long time. It was ready the moment we entered the city. Wiping the firearm is just to kill time. The first update has not arrived yet, so we have to wait. And waiting is
The worst part is that it makes you more nervous, so it's better to find something to do."
Zhu Qingyi nodded and said softly: "I see. How about Qingyi sing a little song for you. It can help ease your mood."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "How dare you let the princess do this? Do I, Zhang Yanling, have such a blessing?"
Zhu Qingyi smiled slightly and said: "You do. It's just that Qingyi doesn't sing well, so Lord Marquis doesn't want to laugh."
Zhang Yanling leaned back on the chair and said with a smile: "I, a tone-deaf person, come to make fun of others? Isn't it a joke? Then let's ask the county singer to sing a song."
Zhu Qingyi nodded, coughed slightly, and sang slowly: "I can't feel free when I feel a hundred emotions, and the sound of the horn alone rises from the sunset tower."
Zhu Qingyi's voice is surprisingly soft and pleasant, with a slight Ningxia accent. It sounds soft with a hint of desolation, which is evocative.
"The green mountains are full of endless thoughts all day long, and when will the fragrant grass cease to be full of hatred?"
"If your eyelashes can't be seen before your eyes, why should you ask for them if they are not outside your body?"
Zhu Qingyi sings with a graceful voice. Although it is a cappella, it is extremely beautiful.
"Who is like Mr. Zhang..."
Zhu Qingyi sang the last line. Suddenly, there was a noise at the courtyard door outside the building. Someone shouted loudly and kicked the courtyard door down, interrupting Zhu Qingyi's song.
Zhang Yanling changed her color and stood up, quickly went to the window and looked down. Zhu Qingyi also came quickly, and both of them saw the scene in the yard below.
A group of soldiers poured into the courtyard holding torches. One of them was looking up from the second-floor window. Standing high and the torches were bright, both Zhang Yanling and Zhu Qingyi recognized who that person was. It was Sun Jingwen.
"Govern this building from front to back. No one is allowed to come in or out tonight. Sir, I will go to the princess's room to catch the assassin tonight. Hahaha. The assassin is in the princess' room. I will definitely do it tonight."
You can catch it, hahaha." Sun Jingwen's laughter reached his ears.
Zhu Qingyi said in horror: "This piece of shit Sun Jingwen is here, Master Hou, hurry up and hide. Why did he come here at this time? Does he know that Master Hou is here?"
Zhang Yanling sneered and said nothing.
Caiyun, who was accompanying Zhu Taihun and Zhu Taihao in the inner room, came out in panic and shouted in a low voice at a loss: "Princess, Princess, Sun Jingwen is here, what should we do?"
Zhu Qingyi glanced at Zhang Yanling as if asking for help.
Zhang Yanling whispered: "Don't panic, ask him why he came."
Zhu Qingyi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded. Several people stood behind the door with bated breath, listening to the heavy footsteps of Sun Jingwen and his group coming up the stairs, and Sun Jingwen's harsh laughter also reached their ears.
"Open the door, open the door, princess, open the door quickly." Sun Jingwen shouted from the door.
"Sun Jingwen, you are so brave, you dare to break in privately. The prince has given an order, and you dare to disobey the prince's order? Why don't you leave quickly?" Zhu Qingyi angrily reprimanded.
"Hehe, Princess, I'm here to catch the assassin. I suspect the assassin is in your room. Open the door and I'll go in and take a look." Sun Jingwen said with a smile.
Zhu Qingyi said angrily: "Sun Jingwen, where are the assassins? I'm going to bed to rest. You should take your people and leave here quickly, otherwise I will report to the prince later."
Sun Jingwen laughed tiredly and said: "Princess, are you going to bed to rest? That's just right, I suspect you are hiding the assassin in your bed. Jingwen will search your bed carefully tonight. Hehehe. Maybe.
, there’s no telling if we can actually find the assassin.”
Zhu Qingyi turned pale and shouted angrily: "Thief, what nonsense are you talking about? You... how dare you do this?"
Sun Jingwen laughed loudly and said: "Princess, what are you pretending to be? You can secretly raise a man behind your back, so why are you pretending to be a yellow flower girl? Jingwen doesn't despise your body, it's already your great blessing.
.To tell you the truth, I’m going to sleep with you tonight. You just have to obey me. Otherwise, I’ll ask someone to tie you up and do whatever you want. Open the door, I can’t wait any longer, hahaha.
"
Zhu Qingyi was so angry that she trembled all over. She finally understood Sun Jingwen's purpose tonight. This thief was so cowardly that he was not here to catch the assassin, but to achieve his despicable purpose and to forcibly humiliate himself.
Zhang Yanling has also understood what Sun Jingwen wants. Originally, Zhang Yanling wanted to delay it for a while, so it would be best to send Sun Jingwen away so as not to get in the way. But now it seems that everything has to be moved forward. It is impossible for Sun Jingwen to leave. In this case,
Then he will never leave.
Zhang Yanling waved his hand, signaling Zhu Qingyi and others to step back. Then he reached out and grabbed the door bolt.
Zhu Qingyi was shocked, but could only watch helplessly as Zhang Yanling pulled open the upper and lower door bolts. Sun Jingwen outside was knocking on the door hard, yelling, and full of obscenities. Suddenly, the door opened.
Then Sun Jingwen was shocked to see a man in a robe, holding a black shiny thing in his hand and looking at him with a smile.
"Is that Sun Jingwen? I am the assassin you are looking for. Now you have found it. Go with peace of mind." Zhang Yanling said this with a smile, and then pulled the trigger.
The flint rubbed against the baffle, dazzling sparks flew out, and the primer ignited, lighting up a brilliant fire.
Sun Jingwen reacted and shouted in shock: "There is an assassin, please save me."
Several guards beside him had just woken up from the shock and were reaching out to draw their blades. The fire gun in Zhang Yanling's hand had already made an ear-splitting roar. A dazzling flame was ejected from the muzzle of the stainless steel gun. Countless iron bullets were sprayed out.
Ejected with huge impact.
There was a popping sound on Sun Jingwen's face. Dozens of iron bullets penetrated his eyes, nose, cheeks, and mouth in an instant. They penetrated his cheekbones, nose bridge, forehead, and throat. Sun Jingwen's face began to bleed.
It collapsed, broken bones and teeth flew everywhere, flesh and blood burst out, and eyeballs exploded. A face instantly turned into a piece of rotten flesh.
He didn't even make a sound, he fell to the ground on his back, his face was mangled, and he couldn't die anymore.
"Ah!" Several of the accompanying guards shouted in horror.
Without saying a word, Zhang Yanling quickly changed the ammunition and loaded the gun. Three breaths later, the roar started again. Two guards who were running down the stairs were shot in the back. They flew forward and knocked over the two people in front of them.
Zhang Yanling continued to change ammunition, and while rushing down the stairs, he shouted in a deep voice: "Qingyi, be ready to hide in the secret room, the action is ahead of schedule."
Zhu Qingyi quickly agreed and rushed into the inner room with Caiyun. Caiyun picked up a package and carried it on her back, then picked up the frightened Zhu Taihao.
Zhu Qingyi picked up another package and called to the equally astonished Zhu Taihang: "Taihang, go to the secret room in the backyard with your sister."
Zhu Taiyi nodded, followed by Zhu Qingyi and Caiyun and rushed out. Zhu Qingyi saw Sun Jingwen lying on the ground with a broken face. He was startled and screamed at first. But then he actually raised his foot and kicked Sun Jingwen twice.
, scolded: "You thief, you deserve to die."
Then, several people rushed down the stairs.
At the entrance of the stairs, the corpses of four guards were lying on the ground, covered with blood. They had been killed by Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling stood at the door and was changing ammunition. But at this moment, there was a roar from outside. It was also the roar of firearms, but it was not
It was fired from the firegun in Zhang Yanling's hand.
Zhu Qingyi was just astonished when he heard Zhang Yanling shout loudly: "Chen Shiyi, are all the brothers here?"
A rough man's voice came from outside: "Master Hou, the brothers are all here."
Zhang Yanling said loudly: "Okay, let's fight quickly and leave no one behind."
