Chapter 242

"I want a fast-footed war horse. The others put down their weapons, put their heads on their heads, tie each other's feet with ropes, and squat down facing the wall, or I will kill him!"

The weak woman just now broke free from the man's arms. Although her hands and feet were tied with heavy iron chains, her swiftness of movement was not affected in the slightest.Her tone was cold, her eyes were as cold as iron, and the sharp copper branch of the candlestick in her hand was pressed tightly against Qi'an's neck. With a little force, she could take his life.

"Your Highness!" All the attendants were shocked and exclaimed in unison.

Qi An was taken aback for a moment, but then smiled lightly and said, "Xia'er, you are still so smart, I fell for your trick again."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qing Xia said coldly: "Those who want him to live obediently do as I say."

"Xia'er, stop making trouble," Qi An suddenly said softly, his tone seemed to be coaxing a child who lost his temper. "I know you won't hurt me."

Qing Xia turned her head slowly, looked at him with contempt and disgust from the tip of her eyes, and asked in a cold and deep voice: "Really? Are you so confident?"

With a puff sound, the copper branch of the candlestick was inserted hard, a full two inches long, bright red blood spewed out immediately, Qi An's breathing was stagnant, his face was ashen, and he stopped talking.

"If you want your master to live, do what I say immediately. Otherwise, I can't guarantee how much patience I have?"

Hearing this, everyone had no choice but to throw down their weapons, and tied each other's feet according to Qing Xia's instructions. Some people wanted to take the opportunity to play tricks, and tied them lightly but they could break free at once, but Qing Xia noticed it at a glance.Another hole was added to Qi An's neck, and they were willing to obey it obediently.

Seeing that everyone squatted down obediently, Qing Xia turned her head and said in a low voice to Qi An: "Where are my friends?"

Qi An stared ahead, stubbornly silent.

Qing Xia narrowed her eyes slightly, and exerted a little force on her hands, causing Qi An to feel pain immediately.He said in a hoarse tone, "After we arrived at Cihai City, I had someone sneak up to Beijing with you in a coma, and I didn't disturb them."

Qing Xia raised her eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Really?"

"Really," Qi An said: "At this time, I don't need to lie to you. I don't have many followers in Cihai City, and I don't seem to cause trouble to alert Chu Li. I came to Haishi Imperial Capital secretly."

"Okay, I'll just believe you once." Qing Xia said in a deep voice, kicking her chained feet on the ground, grabbing the rope with one hand, and tied Qi An up a few times.

The long wind suddenly blew up, and the flames became bigger and bigger, Qing Xia said coldly: "The last time the Nanchu prison was for Zhuang Qingxia to repay your love from the previous ten years, today, it is to repay your solidarity in the Hall of Supreme Harmony." Yi. Qi An, this is the last time I let you go, if we meet again in the future, either you will die or I will die."

After finishing speaking, Qing Xia pushed him to the ground, jumped onto the horse, whipped his whip, and roared away along the narrow alley.

"Grab her! Quick!" Qi An's voice suddenly sounded as soon as he left the yard, and the corner of Qing Xia's mouth twitched coldly, Qi An, you really are a real villain.

The whizzing sound of sharp arrows suddenly sounded, and as she was about to turn the street corner, Qing Xia's shoulder suddenly felt a pain, and she fell on the horse's back.

The cold wind blew by her ears, and Qingxia ran frantically towards the Ronghua Palace in Dongqi, who knew that before she walked to the main street, she was alarmed by the defenders, a group of soldiers rushed forward and surrounded her, seeing her With her hands and feet in shackles and her clothes stained with blood, she immediately believed that she was Dong Qi's rebel, and she didn't believe her statement that she wanted to see the emperor of Chu to report the conspiracy of the prince of Dong Qi.

The King of Hades is easy to see, but the imp is hard to deal with.If she met a powerful minister, she could still make clear the stakes, but it happened to be such a group of vulgar soldiers.

What Qing Xia didn't know was that during the period when Chu Li quelled Dong Qi, he suffered countless assassinations. Southern Chu Grand Sima Mingyuan issued an order that all rebels in Dong Qi, regardless of their status, should be punished immediately. After killing and turning over the head, it can be used as capital for promotion.Therefore, under the premise of emphasizing military merits, these soldiers will naturally not believe her words that have been said many times by other assassins, but only nonsense made up by her in order to get close to the Emperor Chu.After all, the news that the Prince of Eastern Qi was killed by King Qiyu of Jinan at sea had already spread throughout the continent.

Seeing that this group of soldiers was about to attack together, and afraid that Qi An's group behind him would catch up, Qing Xia had no choice but to give up her plan to break into Ronghua Palace, turned her horse and ran towards the south of the city.

When Chu Bing saw her turn his head and ran away, he was even more sure that she was Dong Qi's killer, and started chasing after her.

Qing Xia smiled coldly in his heart, secretly thought that even if he could not notify Chu Li in time, he could use this group of Chu troops to uproot Qi An and his gang. Thinking of this, he immediately galloped towards the original road, but did not manage to get rid of the people behind him. people.Seeing that he was about to approach the house, Qing Xia suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness, the Chu army is here! Go!"

The courtyard that had just extinguished the fire suddenly became noisy. The Chu army behind him was overjoyed, and he felt that there was indeed a rebellious party. The leader greeted him and rushed in with his guards. After a while, the crackling sound of fighting rang out. stand up.

Qing Xia sneered, swung the iron chain on her wrist horizontally, fended off a few stray arrows, and ran towards the other side of the alley.

The night became more and more silent, it was almost the third watch, Qing Xia leaned against the damp wall, heard the noisy footsteps outside the wall gradually going away, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Qi An deserved his life and had already escaped, otherwise there would not be such a large-scale city-wide search, but even so, his strength has been severely damaged. In this way, if he wants to succeed, he will It is much more difficult.

But not afraid of [-], just in case, he should find a way to sneak into Chu Palace and warn Chu Li.

When she was there just now, it was not that she was unwilling to kill him because of the benevolence of a woman, but that once she killed him, she would lose the bargaining chip to restrain those subordinates, and she would lose the chance to escape.What's more, the copper branches of the candlestick are slender and old, so they can't pierce through the throat at all, even if they go through the flesh, they already froze.I had been imprisoned for many days, and was poisoned a few days ago, so I couldn't break his neck with just my hands.In that case, one can only choose the most favorable method to escape, and the rest can only be remedied afterwards.

Thinking of this, Qing Xia stretched out his hand to touch his back, grabbed the arrow feather, gritted his teeth, and suddenly pulled it out fiercely.Blood splattered all over her white robes. Now she needs to find someone quickly to spread the news, even if it doesn't enter the palace, as long as it spreads in the market.With the vigilance of the black-clothed guard, he will definitely understand everything by following the clues.

She stood up staggeringly, her body was a little fluttering due to excessive blood loss, and she moved forward step by step.

Song Luyang is the editor-in-chief of the Hanlin Academy in the imperial capital of Haishi, and was once a member of Qi.He is very young and has a flexible mind. During the past few years of civil strife in Eastern Qi, he could see that Eastern Qi was dying soon, and he had established a good relationship with his classmates who were ministers in Southern Chu. He transformed from a subjugated minister to the prefect of Sushang County in the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

It was Ming Bian Shisheng's great joy to grow from a small civil servant in the capital to become a big official in the frontier.If you have to practice abroad for a few more years, you will not only have a rich pocket and some political achievements, but you will also be appreciated by the emperor when you return to the capital.The Emperor Chu now occupies half of the land in the world. He is young, promising and talented. He is a very promising monarch. If he works hard, he may become a founding general in the future.

Although Song Luyang is only a civil servant, he has a lot of things in his chest, which is why he came here today.It was not easy for Emperor Chu to stay in Ronghua Palace for a while, and he had the opportunity to get close to the emperor, how could he not find an opportunity to curry favor with him?So he almost went bankrupt, and bought a large number of rare treasures with all his savings in the past few years and the property he looted from the palace when the Eastern Qi Dynasty was subjugated, and dedicated them to the Emperor Chu and some of his close ministers.

Song Luyang is a low-key person, but she has a bit of literary talent, and she does things to the point, even giving gifts is very generous and decent.Even though Chu Li didn't like this kind of smooth and shrewd minister, he couldn't help but have a good impression of him, and accepted his gift list for the first time.

The problem lies here.

Among the gifts of rare and precious treasures, there were sixteen top-ranking singing and dancing girls, but just this morning, one of them died for no reason.The doctor only said that it was a sudden illness, but he didn't see what the illness was.It doesn't matter if she died, but the emperor has already accepted the gift list, so is it possible for him to tell the emperor that one of the dancers died this morning, so he can only send fifteen?
In this way, he had no choice but to go to the most famous local singing and dancing girl hall, and pay a high price to buy another upright official who hadn't opened a bud and seen any customers, as a supplement.Hope she mixes in with the other fifteen and won't be found out.

The lady proprietress of Liuyingfang stood in front of the back door, smiled obsequiously at Song Luyang and said, "Master Song, if there are girls who are good at singing and dancing, there are plenty of girls in my yard, but if you haven't seen any customers, If you haven’t even shown your face, it’s too difficult.”

"What's so difficult?" Song Luyang said anxiously: "The women you found even know my servants, what if they are recognized by others? Do I want to buy a woman who looks like a prostitute and go out? A gift?"

"Well," the proprietress frowned slightly, and said, "If you say you haven't seen any customers, it's not like there are none. A while ago, during the war in Haishi, I received a rich lady from a rich family. Absolutely, it's also a sign of being a good person. It's just that he is a little too stubborn. I beat him twice, but he still refused to listen. Now he is locked in a wing room with a chain. If you want, I will take you in to have a look .”
