Book with Emperor

Chapter 71
The prince is very good, even a bit better than the rest of them, probably because He Lianying hasn't had time to torment him, even the brocade clothes are intact, only stained with mud, the hair crown is crooked, and he looks embarrassed.

When he saw Ning Zhao, he almost cried, but he was so frightened by the other party's cold eyes that he choked back.But he still remembered that it was Yin Luqi who saved him, so he simply wiped away his tears and turned to thank the empress.

Xiao Mingyang was naturally willing to be this good person, after all, she was the one who saved him.

Qin Guanyue sighed, the prince might not know how he got back.

Compared with the prince, Cuiping was in a much more distressed state, with many sword wounds on his body, blood marks on his face, blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth, his hands were cut behind his back, and he was escorted to Ning Zhao with dead eyes. in front of.

"After making sure there are no other rebels, the car cracks."

After Ning Zhao left such a sentence, he turned around and prepared to go back to the palace.

"Yes."

Han Po turned to look at Lou Binghe, "General Lou is busy first, I will send these two to the Ministry of Punishment first."

Lou Binghe clasped his fists, "You Laozhen Weihou."

He Lianying was tied up and dragged forward, while Cuiping followed quietly, no matter how insulting He Lianying was, he didn't reply back.

The snow soon became heavy, and the wind carried the cold snow into the neck and hit the face. Manager Wang did not forget to order someone to hold an umbrella for Qin Guanyue and the others, but Longnu waved her hand and refused.

"I like snow."

As Li Xuanxi said, he jumped into the snow, followed by two teenagers with equally brisk steps.

Qin Guanyue wrapped her cloak and followed behind the servant, her eyes kept on Cuiping who was not far away.

Yue Wentian noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...she was too quiet."

Qin Guanyue couldn't tell, but she just felt that there was something wrong with Cuiping who suddenly accepted her fate. However, she didn't know him well, so she couldn't confirm it.

She thought for a while, stepped back a few steps, waited until Xiao Mingyang's team arrived, and asked Xiao Qi, "Where did you capture Cuiping?"

"Northeast outside the city, I rode a horse and ran for a mile, but was intercepted by Yin Lunqi."

"Northeast outside the city..."

Qin Guanyue frowned slightly, "If I remember correctly, where is the official way?"

"It's official."

Xiao Qi nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yue Wentian opened his mouth first, "There are deep forests in the northwest and southwest outside the city, which are easier to hide. Why choose the northeast where you can see everything?"

"Do you suspect that she has any backhands?"

Xiao Mingyang raised his eyes and looked forward, He Lianying was being dragged like a dead dog, Cuiping was tightly tied up, and Li Xuanxi was playing in the snow beside him.

"Don't worry, Li Xuanxi is right next to her."

"..."

These words are enough to convince anyone, after all, the hand that Dragon Girl showed on the city tower today really lived up to the title of No. [-] Canglan, but Qin Guanyue's brows twitched when she heard this, thinking of a neglected question.

"Stealing gold, attracting envoys from the four kingdoms, secretly ambush, using sacrificial wine to poison, and then tying the prince as a pledge, these methods are very clever, and the plan is very strict. If it weren't for the dragon girl, we might have lost even more today. .”

Qin Guanyue frowned slightly, "Such a smart person, would he not have considered the arrival of the Dragon Girl?"

Xiao Qi couldn't help but said, "But the outsiders didn't know that the envoy from Daxie was the Dragon Girl. After the Dragon Girl came to Daxi, she was only three days away from the Son of Heaven Sacrifice. There must be no time to think of a way to deal with it."

"It may also be that there is no way to deal with it at all." Yue Wentian continued.

Qin Guanyue didn't think so, "Maybe I overestimated the other party's mind, but if I..."

Xiao Mingyang asked, "How are you?"

"I will figure out a way to deal with Dragon Girl within these three days, either to lure her away, or to use the Dragon Girl to achieve my goal."

"For what purpose?"

"Her original purpose."

Qin Guanyue took a deep breath and spit out a cloud of white mist, "If there is no accident, her purpose is indeed the same as He Lianying's. Revenge, plus restoration of the country, the commonality between the two is to subvert the Five Kingdoms. If Me, I will choose to be a fisherman."

"Instigate the flames of war among the five countries, make them kill each other, and then profit from it."

After Yue Wentian finished speaking, he denied it, "But they failed to assassinate the empress, and they will never repeat the old trick."

"I have the protection of Yinlu Cavalry, and the same goes for you two. The little King Qin hasn't come yet, only..."

Xiao Mingyang looked at a certain dragon girl not far away who opened her mouth to catch snowflakes, "The fighting power of that little princess is no less than my Silver Knight."

Yue Wentian and Xiao Qi nodded at the same time.

Qin Guanyue thought about it, so she tried her best to put down the doubts in her heart.

Li Xuanxi's behavior of opening his mouth to catch the snowflakes over there also attracted many people, who couldn't help but chuckle.

After all, although Daxi is not as close to the north as Xiangwei Daqin, snow is not uncommon, so it is really interesting to see such rare snowflakes as this dragon girl from Daxia.

Li Xuanxi didn't care if others laughed at her, so he was having fun.

Cuiping, who was detained in the team, also looked up expressionlessly, but slipped and fell to the ground on the snow without paying attention.

The soldier kicked her impatiently, "Get up!"

Cuiping groaned from being kicked, but lay on the ground and didn't get up, "I...was poisoned..."

The soldier was startled when he heard that, this woman is still useful, she must not die by his hands.

He hurriedly bent down to check, and the team behind immediately slowed down a bit. Han Po, who was walking in front, kept paying attention, and immediately looked back when he saw the situation.

However, it was still a step too late.

Cuiping's movements were very fast, and when everyone saw the soldier collapse without a word, she had already jumped out of the line.

"Take it! Life or death!"

Without thinking about it, Han forced to give an order immediately, and then chased after him with a gun.

Qin Guanyue and others, who were under the protection of Yinluqi, had just suppressed their doubts when they saw Cuiping grab the knife and escaped somehow.

Qin Guanyue was shocked, and regretted that she should have thought more, but instead saw that Cuiping was running towards Longnu, she couldn't help being taken aback.

For a moment, I don't know whether Xi Cuiping is in a panic, or whether she suspects that she has other plans.

In the blink of an eye, Li Xuanxi quickly discovered that the person who was running towards him also saw the knife in the opponent's hand, but he dodged the knife calmly.

Cuiping's skill is very good, it seems that she is not affected by the injury on her body at all, and soon after the knife missed, she slashed back towards Longnu's neck.

Longnu easily dodged it, and then took the initiative to make a move. With one move, she grabbed the opponent's wrist, and with one force, the opponent's knife fell out of her hand.

Cuiping groaned in pain, but Li Xuanxi put his other hand on the opponent's neck without changing his face.

It seemed to be a foregone conclusion, when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, something happened suddenly.

The outstretched hand of the Dragon Girl froze in mid-air, it was only close to pinch Cuiping's neck, but she stood there motionless.

This scene was very strange, but Qin Guanyue had no time to think about it, she only knew that she wanted to understand Cuiping's purpose.

"Protect Dragon Girl!" she yelled.

"laugh--"

Cuiping had already pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, and stabbed Longnu's heart without hesitation.

Qin Guanyue thought, it's over.
