Chapter 5 The Front Edge
Step by step, he walked out of the darkness.

Sheng Jing was a well-known handsome man, but now his cheeks were stained with blood, and he was walking towards her like a handsome devil in the abyss.

Trying to drag her into hell together.

"Tick-tock-"

Blood drops followed the long sword in his hand and fell onto the stone slab, making a sound.

Xie Lingyu suddenly understood, without hesitation, she covered her face, lowered her head, turned around and ran away.

All the etiquette and etiquette of a famous family were forgotten.

Lives matter.

After closing the door, Xie Lingyu leaned against the door and pressed her heart, making sure that he had not followed before she dared to take a deep breath.

She didn't expect to see him so soon——

King Qi Yanli of Qi.

The murderous Qi Yanli.

Xie Lingyu had spent some time with Qi Yanli in her previous life.

That was a time that Xie Lingyu didn't want to recall.

In the previous life, after Xu Yinghuai returned to Beijing, he collided with Qi Yanli and was beaten by him. He was imprisoned and dying.

Xie Lingyu spent a lot of money to clear up the situation, and also used the Xie family's connections, but it was of no use. Qi Yanli didn't nod, and no one could fish Xu Yinghuai out, and no one dared.

As a last resort, Xie Lingyu went to Qi Yanli.

In the middle of winter, with snow falling all over the sky, she held an umbrella and waited in front of Prince Qi's Mansion for half a month. Her fingers were sore from the cold, and the umbrella was covered with a thick layer of snowflakes before she saw Qi Yanli.

No matter how much she talked and promised gold, silver, farm, house and shop, Qi Yanli just crossed his legs and looked at her coldly.

Also, he is a majestic king and has no gold or silver. How can he be tempted by these things?

Her eyes were full of pleading, her mouth was dry as she spoke, and she was about to kneel down and beg him to spare his mercy.

Qi Yanli stopped her from kneeling, with a clear expression of teasing on his face, he raised her chin and said with teasing eyes: "I don't have any maids in my house. If you are willing to serve me as a maid for a month, I will let you go." Got him."

Xie Lingyu agreed to the request which was obviously humiliating.

At that time, the Queen Mother Xie's family had died. Her father had a disagreement with His Majesty and publicly contradicted her. He was banned from the house and his eldest brother was dismissed from his post. This was the low period of the Xie family and Xuanwuhou Mansion could not make any more mistakes.

No matter what she did, she had to rescue Xu Yinghuai.

In the end, she stayed in Prince Qi's Mansion for more than a month before letting Qi Yanli relent.

Qi Yanli was violent and brutal, so Xie Lingyu was frightened every day and acted cautiously, for fear of offending him and being stabbed to death with a sword.

Others might not dare to take action because of her status, but Qi Yanli was different. He would kill court officials, royal family members, and sons of famous families.

Countless souls died under the Zhanlu sword.

Everyone in Shengjing avoids him.

In her previous life, she had always regarded that experience as humiliating, but later it was him who paid homage to her at the grave.

Xie Lingyu lowered her eyes. Even if she knew that Qi Yanli was not as violent and cruel as the rumors, she still did not want to have anything to do with Qi Yanli in this life.

Xie Lingyu was secretly upset. If she had known that she would meet Qi Yanli when she came to Kaibao Temple, she would have found an excuse to excuse him.

Anyway, she didn't sincerely pray for Xu Yinghuai.

"Yu'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?"

When Mrs. Li walked out with her quilt in her arms, she saw Xie Lingyu leaning against the door and panting heavily. Her appearance was exactly the same as when she made a mistake when she was young and was chased and beaten all over the street by her parents. She was panicked and anxious to find a shelter.

Xie Lingyu took a breath and caught a glimpse of the quilt in Li's hand.

"I just met a wild dog on the road and was a little frightened. Sister-in-law, please rest quickly. You have to get up early to pray tomorrow."

"Wild dogs are more bluffing." Mrs. Li couldn't agree more. "Then I'll go over, and Yu'er should rest soon."

Mr. Li turned around and walked away, returning to the room on the left.

Before leaving, he muttered, "I've been to Kaibao Temple several times and I haven't seen any wild dogs. Could it be that they only come out at night?"

Xie Lingyu pressed her forehead and returned to her dormitory.

Hong An finally asked someone to clear out one more room.He was also afraid that if they didn't have a good night's stay, they would lose a lot of incense in the temple.

Qi Yanli here didn't expect that he would scare people away just by saying a word.

Staring at Xie Lingyu's retreating back, his dark eyes were full of doubts and deep thoughts, and for the first time he had doubts about his own appearance.

"Does this king look so scary?"

"My lord, what are you doing here? Where's the rabbit? You won't let it run away, will you?" A young man ran over from a distance.

The young man is about in his late teens. He is dressed neatly in a navy blue brocade robe, his hair is tied up high, and he looks fresh and handsome.

Qi Yanli pushed the rabbit in his hand to Lu Yuanming.

He came back from outside at night and met Lu Yuanming. The two were chatting when they saw a rabbit running past. Lu Yuanming screamed that he wanted to eat the rabbit. He couldn't bear the disturbance, so he chased the rabbit into the bamboo forest.

Lu Yuanming happily took it, "Cousin, this city of Shengjing is full of delicacies and delicious food, but I have been tired of it for three whole months. You don't even know how delicious this spicy rabbit head is! "

Qi Yanli wiped the blood on his sword and lowered his eyes, not caring at all whether he wanted to eat spicy food or steamed food.

"Who else came to the temple today?"

Although Lu Yuanming was confused as to why his cousin suddenly asked this, he still answered truthfully.

"It seems that the female relatives in Xuanwuhou's mansion are praying for the prince, hoping that he will be safe in the border area."

"Speaking of which, the Xuanwuhou family is quite miserable. Almost all of them died on the battlefield, which is a great honor. But the prince is incompetent. I'm afraid this glory will not last long in the Xuanwuhou mansion."

"But the prince's newly married wife is a girl from the Xie family. I ate in restaurants, listened to books in teahouses, and wherever there were people, I could hear people praising her every day. I don't know whether it is true or not. It is said that she is unparalleled in beauty. She once had When a man sees her, he doesn't want to eat or drink, and he can't marry her. After a few months, he dies in depression. He really wants to meet her."

"I don't know why such a wonderful person would marry into the Xuanwu Hou Mansion at this time."

Talk about beauty.

The shocking glimpse just now flashed through Qi Yanli's mind.

The woman ran so fast that he could only see a little bit of her face.

I don’t know which room in the Xuanwu Hou Mansion she is the daughter of?

Qi Yanli wiped the sword in his hand and threw the blood-stained handkerchief to the attendant who had just arrived.

"Hey, how could it be that good? It's just a rumor. There are rumors in the capital that I held a sword at the age of three and killed people at the age of five."

Qi Yanli sneered, not believing that anyone could really be that beautiful.

"Ah, isn't it true?"

Lu Yuanming looked shocked.

His mother and the queen were biological sisters. He had lived in Beijing for several years when he was a child. He was quite close to this cousin, but he was always a little afraid of him.

After all, Qi Yanli had a cold face at a young age and did not play with them. He only studied and practiced swordsmanship every day.

Therefore, he has always believed all the rumors in Beijing.

Later, he went to Beijing with his father to take up his post and never saw Qi Yanli again, but the reputation of His Highness King Qi could still be passed down to him.This time when he returned to Beijing, he had been treating Qi Yanli cautiously, for fear that he might be struck by a sword accidentally.

Qi Yanli: "I am gentle and elegant. I read, write poems, and enjoy the scenery and paint every day. How could I be such a cruel person?"

"I can't even hold the sword!"
