Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 48 Coercion
Su Tiange looked at the alley behind him, supported the woman leaning against the corner of the wall, turned around and left, just after walking out of the corner on the right, a long sword touched her neck.

The person holding the sword slowly came out from the corner, and it was Qi Yan!
"Miss Qi, why are you here?" Su Tiange looked at Qi Yan in surprise.

"It's you?" Qi Yan was also a little surprised. He received an order saying that a person came to treat the Eldest Princess yesterday and received preferential treatment from the Third Prince. Maybe he could enter the other courtyard through him.Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Su Tiange.

Su Tiange smiled dryly but didn't dare to move. Although Qi Yan said she was a little surprised to see her, she didn't remove the long sword she was pressing on her neck.

"Miss Qi, this is a misunderstanding. I thought she was in the same group as those who were chasing me."

"Then you can come with me now."

There were no less than two people walking over from the empty alley with the sound of rushing footsteps, Qi Yan glanced at them and said, "Take me, let's go!"

"Wait, Miss Qi, for the sake of our relationship in Sucheng, can I go back to the old house to get something. It's urgent!" Su Tiange looked at Qi Yan with a pleading face, "I promise to get it Things will go with you honestly."

"Hall Master." A man pointed to the woman who was still unconscious, "What's wrong with Xingniang?"

"I fainted with drugs, and I will wake up tomorrow." Su Tiange always felt that there was something wrong, and just now Xingniang asked her to help, why?The Tiandao League has always been at odds with the imperial court, and what happened later was that the prince tried to win over the Tiandao League to establish prestige in the Jianghu.

Then when Qi Yan arrived in Hangzhou, did Xiao Xuan also come?What are they up to?
"You two take Xingniang back first, and I'll come later." Qi Yan withdrew the long sword in her hand and ordered.

"But……"

"No, but, I will take her there."

The two hesitated for a moment and helped Xingniang to leave, Qi Yan sheathed her sword and let out a breath, "Let's go."

Why did Qi Yan look so unwilling.

"Miss Qi, I don't know how brother Qi is doing now. Last time I left in Sucheng in a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye."

After hearing this sentence, Qi Yan stopped and turned to look at Su Tiange, her eyes were tangled and complicated, "Miss Su, no matter who you meet in Hangzhou, you should pretend that we don't know each other. This is for your own good!"

Qi Yan's words will be understood when Su Tiange sees the members of the Tiandao League residing in Hangzhou.

If Xiao Xuan is insisting on a kind of resistance that has been accumulating steadily and waiting for opportunities, the people in Hangcheng are completely radical and impulsive.I can't wait to rush into Jinling to kill the emperor and change the dynasty.

Qi Yan said that Xiao Xuan asked her to come here, on the one hand to persuade them to hide their strengths and bide their time, and not to attract too much attention, on the other hand, he also hoped to persuade them to keep in touch with the brothers of the Tiandao League in Jinling and discuss major plans together.

But no one listened to the persuasion. The members of the Daoist League in Tianhang City have been planning to assassinate since the third prince followed the eldest princess to Hangzhou, and Xingniang sang in the teahouse.

The purpose is to confirm whether the person who is with the eldest princess is the third prince.

Su Tiange glanced at the murderous crowd in the room, and didn't understand what enmity Tiandaomeng had with the imperial court, so he deliberately planned to kill a prince.

"Master Su, we have no malicious intentions. As long as you bring our people into the other courtyard, the rest has nothing to do with you."

"Helping you assassinate the prince of the current dynasty is already a serious crime against the nine clans. No matter whether I actually participated in the assassination or not, I will not be able to escape." Su Tiange looked at the man sitting at the top, "I am not sitting at home in a good manner, and disasters have come from heaven ?"

"What do you mean? Don't you have to weigh the pros and cons in doing things of loyalty?"

"I don't think it is a matter of loyalty to assassinate a prince who is quite prestigious in the mouth of the people." Unless there is some ulterior secret here, or the Tiandao League in Hangzhou is used by someone.

Thinking of this, Su Tiange remembered the piece of paper he intercepted from Shen Yu. Could it be that the person who used the Tiandao League was the one who wrote that piece of paper?
"Master, I have already said that these soft bones dare not. Since he is not willing, he can't keep him, so he can just kill him." Su Tiange was thinking about things to himself, and one of the people who came back supporting Xingniang Watching Su Tiange grit his teeth.

"Nonsense, if we also kill innocent people indiscriminately, what is the difference with the court. In this way, since Mr. Su has not made a decision, go down and rest first, think about it carefully. We will talk tomorrow." With a wink, Su Tiange was taken down and put under strict surveillance.

At dusk, Su Tiange heard a few cat meows in the house. She looked out through the crack of the door, and through the heavy locks, she saw that in the yard, under the watery moonlight, Qi Yan led a person tiptoeing over.

"I found your girl for you, you take her and leave quickly, the carriages and horses are prepared outside."

"Ai Xiang?" Su Tiange called through the crack of the door, Ai Xiang leaned against Qi Yan's head and covered herself in the cloak, and did not reply.

"Shhh, bring someone here again." Qi Yan put Ai Xiang by the wall and started to unlock it. Su Tiange stood in the door and was very anxious. The poison on Ai Xiang's body would be more dangerous if it was delayed for a day, so she asked Qi Yan to go Take a look on the boat.Fortunately, she is still there, and she has obtained the Su Family Pharmacopoeia, so she will be able to detoxify Ai Xiang soon.

Huh, a gust of cold wind blows, Qi Yan is unlocking the lock, and suddenly turns her head to look at the yard.Then, there was a slight sound of piercing through the air, and a few willow-leaf darts stabbed over and nailed it where Qi Yan had just moved away.

Su Tiange took a few steps back into the house, only to hear a fight in the yard, and when she looked out through the crack of the door again, she saw a long sword pierced through Qi Yan's chest by the hall master she had seen during the day A stream of blood came out of the body.

"I have known for a long time that your purpose in coming to Hangzhou is not pure, but you actually want to help others escape and try to sabotage my plan. I don't think about myself, even if Xiao Xuan comes, I don't necessarily have to be afraid of him."

The hall master lifted up his robe and wiped the blood stains on the sword, looked at Su Tiange who was standing in the door, "He is already dead, I will take care of you girl first, when you promise to bring my people in, I will take care of you." Let her go anytime."

"Take it away!" Two people came from the shadow in the yard and drove Ai Xiang away.Su Tiange looked at Qi Yan's body in the yard still in shock, she squeezed her fingers and slowly backed away until she leaned against the table, Qi Yan's death never occurred to her anyway.If she hadn't used her friendship to ask Qi Yan to help, she might not have died, but now Qi Yan's body is lying in the yard, which makes her feel deeply guilty.

And Ai Xiang, she couldn't let it go.Originally thought it was just a simple trip to Hangzhou to retrieve the Su family's pharmacopoeia, but now he was involved in a conspiracy, Su Tiange squeezed his palms and let out a sigh of relief.
