Chapter 402

The suspension bridge over the moat was slowly lowered, and Xiao Shangyan sent her to the side of the suspension bridge.

He looked at her deeply, but there was no infatuation and fanaticism in his eyes, only an almost gentle silence.

He smiled slightly and said, "Princess, take care."

Xiao Shangyan didn't say goodbye, didn't say that there will be a period later.

Because he knew that after this time, he and her would never see each other again.

Between them, there is not only a foreign country, but also a long time.

On the other side of the time is her today, on this side of the time are him and her when they were young.

She had already left, and now he was the only one left alone with the memory of that period of youth, the girl in his memory.

Watching Qin Luoyu step onto the suspension bridge, step by step towards the army of the Ling Kingdom on the other side.

Xiao Shangyan's heart felt as if it was being pulled by something. However, when the girl turned her head and looked at him, he still smiled and waved at her: "Go, Ling Junxing is waiting for you."

His smile is clear and gentle, just like the sunshine in this winter, giving people a sense of relief and comfort.

Qin Luoyu bent his lips, "Brother Shangyan, take care."

She turned around without looking back, and ran briskly towards the black figure waiting for her.

However, at this moment, the generals of Daqin suddenly exclaimed from behind: "General!"

Qin Luoyu turned around subconsciously, and saw Xiao Shangyan's smiling face just now, but now it was faintly bluish black, and his mouth and nose were bleeding.

Seeing the dripping blood, Xiao Shangyan seemed to be a little dazed and did not recover.

He raised his hand to wipe away the blood, but the blood gushed out quickly, staining his palm red within a short while.

There was still a smile on his face that he couldn't put away, and he looked in Qin Luoyu's direction blankly.

Seeing Qin Luoyu looking at him, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he fell on his back.

The soldiers around him caught him in panic, and the voices of "Call the doctor, call the doctor" came and went, and some people rode into the city in a panic, looking for the doctor.

The moat is still far away from the city, and it will take time for the doctor to come.

Qin Luoyu's footsteps stopped for a moment.

In such a short time, the blood rushing from Xiao Shangyan's mouth and nose had already stained the robes in front of him red.

He couldn't stand at all, and several soldiers tried their best to support him, trying to make him stand firm, but it seemed that his body had been stripped of its essence, and it fell limply again and again.

Qin Luoyu turned his head to look at the black figure on the other side of the suspension bridge.

He had already patted his horse and left the army, came towards the suspension bridge, stopped in front of the Daqin garrison, and looked anxiously and eagerly in Qin Luoyu's direction.

"I'll be there soon."

Qin Luoyu looked at him from a distance, and said softly, "I will come back to you soon."

With such a long distance, Ling Junxing couldn't hear what the girl said at all, and he didn't even know she was talking to him.

He met her inauthentic gaze, and inexplicably, his heart skipped a beat twice.

The next moment, he saw the girl turn around and strode towards Xiao Shangyan.

Ling Junxing looked at the girl almost in disbelief.

He shouted her name sharply: "Qin Luoyu!"

The girl paused slightly when she heard his shout, and looked back at him as if apologetic, but she ran towards Xiao Shangyan again after all.

Ling Junxing's heart seemed to be hit hard by something, his eyes were darkened, and his figure sitting upright on the horse swayed invisibly.

The commander of Daqin highlighted the situation, and the soldiers outside the city retreated one after another, and the suspension bridge was quickly raised again.

All this happened too fast, if Ling Junxing ordered to take advantage of the situation, it would not be too late.

However, the guard of Daqin tied Tie Li to the side of the bridge and said loudly: "If you want the third princess to live, then don't go too far!"

Xiao Shangyan was still alive before, so naturally he would not hurt her.

But now that something happened to Xiao Shangyan, it's hard to say what other people will do to Qin Luoyu.

At the moment when Ling Junxing hesitated, the Daqin army had already withdrawn into the city, and the city gate was closed tightly again.

*
When Qin Luoyu rushed over, he quickly grabbed Xiao Shangyan's hand and took his pulse.

Xiao Shangyan's symptoms are clearly poisoning.

The poison came so fiercely that it almost killed him in the blink of an eye.

It was Qin Luoyu who quickly fed the only detoxification pill around him into his mouth, which only bought him a moment of life.

He struggled to smile at Qin Luoyu, and said, "I'm fine."

However, when he said he was fine, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, which was shocking.

He turned his eyes a little stiffly, looking at the generals beside him, some of them were panicked, and some of them glared at Qin Luoyu angrily.

He said with some difficulty: "Don't hurt the third princess. Send her back, go back"

Those words seemed to have exhausted all his remaining strength.

He seemed to be in great pain, gasping for breath, and unconsciously grabbed Qin Luoyu's hand that was supporting him.

The Zhahetie commander quickly retreated, and some soldiers quickly carried Xiao Shangyan on their backs and entered the city.

Qin Luoyu's hand was still tightly held by Xiao Shangyan.

From outside the city to the city, in such a short time, his pupils have dilated, and the blood from his mouth and nose has stopped flowing.

He was still holding Qin Luoyu's hand, but Qin Luoyu could clearly feel that the temperature on his hand was slowly disappearing and turning cold.

Her heart was cold.

She couldn't believe that Xiao Shangyan died just like that, right in front of her eyes.

He had clearly agreed to send her back, and even wrote a truce letter to Ling Junxing.

But why do people still want him to die?
Cen Qi finally rushed over, and examined Xiao Shangyan's pulse with a dignified expression. After a long while, he shook his head, "It's poisoning, the poison is too strong, there is no cure at all."

The generals knelt on the ground with red eyes.

A general stood up abruptly, staring at Qin Luoyu bitterly: "It must be her, she killed the general!"

Zha Hetie frowned, "If she did it, will she come back? The poisoner must be someone else!"

Although Zhahetie didn't like Qin Luoyu very much, he was at the side of the suspension bridge at the time, and he could see clearly that Qin Luoyu could cross the suspension bridge and run towards the army of the Ling Kingdom.

But she turned around and came back to check Xiao Shangyan's pulse. The murderer could never be her.

Another general said: "Then what should we do now? The general wants us not to hurt her and send her back. Is it possible that we really send her back?"

A cold light flashed in Zha Hetie's eyes, "Although the person who poisoned her was not her, it might have something to do with Lingguo. Wait until this matter is clarified before making any plans!"

Qin Luoyu was taken back just like that, Zha Hetie did not take her back to the barracks, but asked someone to find a mansion for her in the city, although he never made it difficult for her, he ordered someone to guard it strictly.

While Zhahetie stepped up the investigation of Xiao Shangyan's poisoning, he ordered people to hold a simple memorial ceremony for Xiao Shangyan. After the ceremony, Xiao Shangyan's coffin will be sent to Liyang.

On the day when Xiao Shangyan's sacrificial ceremony was held, the sound of mourning and music could be heard in the city, and Zha Hetie led many soldiers to guard Xiao Shangyan's spirit all night.

In the middle of the night, there was a light knock on Qin Luoyu's courtyard door.

Qin Luoyu got up and went to open the door. The guards in the courtyard didn't know whether they were drugged or drunk, and fell to the ground in disorder.

Cen Qi led two horses and stood outside the door wearing a black cloak.

Qin Luoyu's expression was calm, without any surprise.

As early as a few days ago, when Qin Luoyu was imprisoned in this mansion by Zha Hetie, Cen Qi came to see her by asking her about Xiao Shangyan's symptoms of poisoning.

Before leaving, he whispered to her that Xiao Shangyan would take her away on the day of the sacrificial ceremony.

Cen Qi handed the other cloak to Qin Luoyu, and said in a low voice, "Princess, we can go."

Without saying a word, Qin Luoyu put on his cloak, mounted his horse, and followed Cen Qi to the city gate.

All the soldiers in the city were attracted by Xiao Shangyan's sacrificial ceremony, and Cen Qi had another token to leave the city, and the guarding soldiers did not stop them at all, so they let them out of the city.

Cen Qi did not take Qin Luoyu north to Liyang, but took Qin Luoyu to the east and then south along the path, heading straight for Xishu.

"There are people there to meet us."

Cen Qi said, "Princess, don't worry, you will be back with the emperor soon."

The emperor he said naturally refers to Ling Junxing.

Cen Qi said that the place where someone picked them up was in the depths of a lonely mountain.

There are few people here, and people who are not very familiar with the terrain of Daqin and Xishu, it is impossible to choose this place.

While they were silently waiting for the person to respond, Qin Luoyu looked at Cen Qi firmly: "Did you inflict Xiao Shangyan's poison?"

These days, Qin Luoyu was locked in the mansion, thinking about who was going to kill Xiao Shangyan.

Can be worthy of such a strong poison, killing people in an instant, Qin Luoyu can't think of anyone other than Cen Qi who can have this kind of ability.

Even if there is, I'm afraid there is no motive to kill Xiao Shangyan.

Only Cen Qi not only has the motive to poison, but also has the ability to poison.

I just don't know if his motive is what Qin Luoyu thought.

When Cen Qi heard Qin Luoyu's words, he was not surprised, but smiled in surprise: "I thought the princess would ask me why I saved you."

He didn't expect that the first sentence Qin Luoyu asked him was related to Xiao Shangyan.

Cen Qi found a flat stone and sat down, "It was indeed my poison."

Qin Luoyu: "Why?"

"I did my best for him and thought about him everywhere, but he broke my leg and expelled me from the Great Qin Kingdom."

Cen Qi said lightly, "Don't he deserve to die?"

Qin Luoyu took a deep breath: "But when you come back this time, he respects you very much and agrees with you to stay in Daqin. If you remember what happened back then, just teach him a lesson. Why... why bother to kill him ?”

Cen Qi smiled: "Now that I am in the Kingdom of Ling, I naturally have to consider it for the Kingdom of Ling. After he dies, Great Qin will be like a country without an owner. It won't be long before the Kingdom of Ling will take over all of it."

Qin Luoyu's mood was extremely complicated. After a long while, he said, "So you didn't really mean to take refuge in Daqin at the beginning? Who is the person who asked you to do this?"

Is it Lingjunxing, or Lingchengji.
