Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 290 Protecting the Master
The atmosphere froze for a moment, and the three froze in place, not knowing what to do.

Lingshu frowned, but turned to look at Xie Wanqing who was lying on her side behind her, and saw that her brows were tightly closed and her face was flushed, but her body was trembling intermittently, as if she looked weak .

Seeing the pain in his eyes, Lingshu secretly gritted his teeth, only to see Lingshu suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, and put the sword on Chiyu's neck with lightning speed.

Su Wen was startled suddenly, and blurted out: "Lingshu, what are you doing?!"

At this time, Lingshu looked like his eyes were red, he ignored Su Wen, and just stared fiercely at Akabane in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Akabane, do you still remember what His Highness told you?"

The ice-cold sword edge rests on his neck, as long as Akabane moves slightly, it will cut and bleed.But Akabane showed no expression on his face, and said indifferently: "It is Akabane's entire responsibility to protect the master."

"Is this how you protect the master?" Lingshu glared, and moved forward a little, "The master is seriously ill, but you prevent him from entering the city. If something happens to the master, how many do you have?" Pay for your life?"

Every word punished his heart, and Akabane couldn't help hesitating even more heavily on his face, but he didn't give in at all under his feet.

"But the danger ahead is unknown, in order to protect the master, I can't do this." Akabane frowned, knowing that Xie Wanqing's current situation is not optimistic, if he takes a wrong step, it will be a failure.

Lingshu also looked distressed, and said: "The master has exhausted his energy all the way here, if he is not taken care of, I am afraid he will die. If the prince is out of trouble, how can we give him back as a living master? "

These words completely defeated Akabane's last line of defense.The young man's originally expressionless face suddenly became a little stunned, and he opened his eyes wide to look at Lingshu. Finally, he could only say helplessly, "Go to the city and take good care of the master."

After finishing speaking, he took a step back, picked up the whip that was thrown on the ground, and prepared to drive into the city.

Seeing this, Lingshu breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, retracted the saber into the scabbard, and got into the carriage as if relieved.Su Wen was a little frightened by the scene just now.She has known Lingshu for so many years and knows her martial arts is very strong, but this is the first time she has seen the sword resting on someone's neck.

She has always been upright and unruly, if she was not really in a hurry, she definitely would not have made such a move.

Su Wen was silent, she only turned her head to look at Xie Wanqing who was unconscious at this time, felt her pulse again with her right hand, and said in a low voice: "It's really bad, if my prediction is correct, the master will definitely have a high fever tonight , this hurdle depends on us."

What Su Wen said was vague, but Lingshu was very clear.His pupils darkened slightly, Lingshu didn't answer any more, but just set his gaze on Xie Wanqing, silently praying that she would be fine.

The three of them had different thoughts along the way, and Akabane hurried towards the town, and finally reached the edge of the town at the last sunset.The three searched and fumbled all the way, and finally found an inn at the west corner of the town, which looked very quiet.

Lingshu and Su Wen tied the cloak on for Xie Wanqing, and they helped Xie Wanqing get off the carriage.Akabane stepped into the store first, looked around but didn't feel anything unusual, just said: "Is the shopkeeper here?"

Hearing this call, a middle-aged woman came out from the counter. When she saw these four people, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she smiled and said: "The store was very quiet just now, so I went to the back to rest. , I have neglected a few guests. I wonder if you are having tea or staying at the hotel?"

Akabane looked at the middle-aged woman calmly, and said: "Stay in the hotel, please give us a room."

When the proprietress heard this, she couldn't help but look at the three girls standing behind Akabane, and said with some hesitation: "Four people, one room?"

Akabane nodded, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, is there something wrong?"

The proprietress hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile on her face, "No, you can do whatever you want. Al, take the guests to the room."

While speaking, a bright young man came up to meet him, with a treacherous smile in his fox-like eyes, he said, "Please invite some guests."

Su Wen's eyes fell on the young man, he looked at him calmly and carefully, and then helped Xie Wanqing to walk towards the room.

When a few people entered the room, the young man smiled courteously and said: "Guests, please rest first. If there is anything to do, just call me."

As he spoke, he lightly patted the dust off his sleeves, glanced casually at Xie Wanqing who was lying on the bed, and then closed the door and left.

After the boy left, Su Wen stood up and walked to the bed, felt around to make sure there was nothing wrong with the bed, then straightened up and looked at Akabane, and said in a low voice: "I see that there is a trace of Weird."

Akabane also felt it, thinking of the few steps that the proprietress took when she came out of the room just now, she was light and fluttering without making a sound, and she could tell at a glance that she was a martial artist, and the young man also looked like a martial arts practitioner. It's really weird to come to this store.

"No matter what's weird about this shop, if you come here, you will be safe. Let's take turns guarding the master tonight, and there must be no mistakes." Lingshu put the saber on the table beside him, sat down slowly, and his eyes were full. She never left Xie Wanqing's body.

The three of them fell silent immediately, only thinking about what to do next in their hearts.

As night fell, Xie Wanqing really had a fever, but her usually lively face was now full of sickness, and her brows were tightly wrinkled, which made people feel distressed.Su Wen twisted the handkerchief and applied ice to Xie Wanqing's forehead, but the hot temperature came to Su Wen through the handkerchief, which made her feel flustered.

"Is it still burning badly?" Lingshu's face was full of anxiety, but at this moment he could only stand aside dryly, helpless.

Su Wen shook his head, took out the blue and white porcelain bottle from his sleeve, put a pill into Xie Wanqing's mouth, and fed her to eat. "Tonight is a hurdle, we all have to be vigilant."

Akabane and Lingshu nodded, standing aside and staring at Xie Wanqing closely.

Xie Wanqing, who had a high fever and was somewhat confused, could only speak rambling words, each sound a little anxious.

"Jue...Jue..."

Hearing Xie Wanqing's nonsense, the hearts of the three of them felt as if they were being pulled hard, and blood dripped instantly.

It turns out that in the dream, you were always worried about that person.

I hope that all these nightmares can dissipate as soon as possible. No matter the four people in front of me, or Xuanyuan Jue who is trapped in Xiangyang City, they don't want to experience this kind of time again...

At this time, Xiangyang City is another scene.

Although it was late at night, the Xiangyang Mansion was still brightly lit.The guards in black were walking back and forth outside the side hall faithfully, while inside the side hall was a blur of people, as if they were discussing something.

At this moment, Situ Lei was not sleepy at all, and he was playing with the glass of kumiss in his hand, but there was a hint of impatience on his face, and even his brows were tightly frowned.

"Having captured Xuanyuan Jue, we've made the right move. But no matter what happens after this, we need to discuss it carefully." The one sitting on Situ Lei's left couldn't help but glanced up at Situ After Lei, the subordinate continued: "As far as I know, there is no movement at all. I am afraid that the emperor deliberately let it go. I don't know what your highness thinks?"

Hearing this, Situ Lei couldn't help but deepen his brows, his eyes darkened on his rough face, and said: "The old emperor's thoughts are very difficult to guess, if one step is wrong, we will pay for the entire northern territory, you guys Don't act rashly!"

"I'm afraid your son is too worried." The person on Situ Lei's right stood up at this time, but held his objection, cupped his hands and said: "Although the emperor is deeply thoughtful, he will definitely not send troops to Xiangyang for Xuanyuan Jue. He is so calm now, I am afraid that he wants to abandon Xuanyuan Jue. Why don't His Highness send troops at this time to catch him by surprise?!"

"If Mao sent troops rashly, what kind of schemes and tricks did the old emperor play? What did you use to protect Xiangyang City?!" Opposition opinions suddenly rose one after another, and the two factions immediately quarreled with each other.

Situ Lei frowned and watched the quarrel between the two subordinates, and his annoyance doubled.Not even bothering to taste the wine in his hand, Peng threw the bronze cup on the floor with a bang.

A muffled sound interrupted the quarrel between the two parties. Seeing that the prince was angry, everyone immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty. The room fell silent for a moment, and they dared not say another word.

"A bunch of useless things, what use do I need you for?! Get the hell out of here!" Situ Lei glared coldly at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground, and angrily reprimanded them.

Hearing Situ Lei's words, all the subordinates didn't dare to say anything more, they just bowed and knelt down to Situ Lei in unison, and all the birds and beasts dispersed in an instant.

At this time, only Situ Lei was left in the huge room. Situ Lei straightened his clothes and was getting up when he suddenly heard a slight sound coming from behind the screen in the side hall.

Situ Lei was alerted immediately, put down his hand to straighten his clothes, stepped up and kicked down the screen, but saw a woman hiding behind the screen, looking at Situ Lei with a frightened expression.

It was Cui Wenxiao!
Seeing that it was Cui Wenxiao hiding here, Situ Lei was filled with anger in his heart, gritted his teeth sinisterly, and said, "What are you doing here?!"

Seeing this, Cui Wenxiao was about to explain, but seeing Situ Lei's furious appearance, he couldn't utter a single word.

Seeing Cui Wenxiao's shrunken appearance, the anger in Situ Lei's heart became more and more cracked, and his eagle eyes were even more red, and he said: "Could it be that you are here to listen to something?!"

Cui Wenxiao was startled, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but the next moment there was only a slap, and a crisp slap came towards his face.

Immediately, she staggered and fell to the ground.

"Eat the inside out, today I will let you know how outrageous your mistakes are!"

After finishing speaking, he kicked up indiscriminately!
