Chapter 279

Jin Xi firmly grabbed the rock beside him, and said to Zhao Tingxuan in a stern voice with a pale face: "Call out all the people in your house to help me paste the Kongming lantern! Don't ask me why, human life is at stake! Hurry up!"

Everyone in the Zhao Mansion was confused by Jinxi's request, and secretly scolded the princess for being frightened crazy?Just beat the thief away, shouldn't we count the losses and treat the wounded?
What kind of Kongming lanterns are pasted?
But Mr. Zhao Ge just frowned after hearing Jinxi's request, and then ordered: "Do as the princess tells you!"

For a while, the Zhao Mansion ignored the thieves tied up in the yard, and the wounded with broken arms and legs. Everyone, including the masters of each house, as long as their hands and feet were flexible, everyone was sticking Kongming lanterns.

Fortunately, Zhao Ge's hometown has a strong foundation, there are nearly a hundred pieces of thin silk in the warehouse, and there is a large lush bamboo forest in the garden.There is no shortage of materials for making Kongming lanterns.

Regardless of Qing Xing and Hai Tang's obstruction, Jin Xi split the bamboo strips one by one with a hatchet in his hand. Big tears swirled around his eyes, but he tried his best not to let them fall.

I hope she guessed wrong!I hope she guessed wrong!
If... guessed correctly, please bless the Buddha, there is still time!
The tofu-like fingers that I usually maintain are dripping with blood from being cut by the sharp bamboo sticks, but Jin Xi doesn't seem to feel the pain, the blood trickles down the bamboo, but she doesn't even look at it...

As long as she can save Qin Xiao, she would rather pay any price!

The servants of the Zhao family who originally thought she was crazy saw her like this, and couldn't help feeling the cold wind blowing down their backs.Could this princess be possessed by a ghost?
"I'll come..." Zhao Tingxuan looked at Jin Xi's bloody hands, and couldn't even breathe from the pain.She reached out to snatch the hatchet from her hand, but was pushed back by Jin Xi.

Jin Xi looked up at the slow-moving servants of the Zhao family, and finally couldn't hold on any longer, crying bitterly, "Hurry up! Hurry up! You should hurry up! If it's late, it's too late!"

Elder Zhao Ge suddenly appeared in front of everyone, "Why is it too late?"

"Human life is at stake, you trust me!" Jin Xi was already choked up in tears, repeating this sentence over and over again, unable to utter a single word.

It's not that she refuses to explain, it's just that everything is her intuition, and she doesn't have even a shred of reasonable evidence to prove that someone might hold her wedding ring and trick Qin Xiao into opening the palace gate!

If the Zhao family knows that she made Kongming lanterns like crazy, it is only because she once joked with Qin Xiao. If the two get separated and no one can find the other, then put the Kongming lanterns at night. When you see the Kongming lanterns, you will know The other party is well.Follow the direction of the Kongming Lantern, and you will be able to find the other party...

At this moment, this agreement will not move the Zhao family.On the contrary, it will make the Zhao family think that she regards human life as worthless, let alone help her...

Elder Zhao Ge took a deep look at her, turned his head to look at the servants in the mansion, and said in a deep voice: "Within one stick of incense, each person will make ten Kongming lanterns, and they will be rewarded for making them. If they fail to do so, they will be punished!"

The head of the family gave both kindness and power, and an order was more effective than Jinxi's tears.A stick of incense has not yet been burned, and hundreds of Kongming lanterns have slowly risen into the night sky.

Jin Xi clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and exhausted all his energy to pray for the blessing of the Buddha...

At the same time, outside the gate of the forbidden palace, the second master shouted loudly towards the palace gate: "Bastard surnamed Qin, your wife is now in my hands, and I have already handed over your wedding ring to you. Is it true or false?" , you will know it once you test it. I will make dozens of calls, and if you don’t open the palace gate, I will kill your wife with one knife!"

As he said that, the gleaming ghost head knife was pressed against the neck of a girl beside him, and a black cloth hood covered most of the girl's body, leaving only the part below the waist exposed.

The moonlight skirt on her body is colorful, it is the congratulatory gift given to her by the Eldest Princess on the day when Jin Xi and Ji were married!
With the knife pressed against her neck, she twisted her body suddenly, yelling 'woo hoo', her mouth was stuffed, and her voice was vague, as if she was saving her life or crying in shock.

The murmur of the original voice could not be heard, like a heavy hammer hitting Qin Xiao's heart, his eyes were blood red, and an unremarkable ring was tightly clutched in his hand.

The small ring was deeply embedded in his palm, bloody and bloody.In the eyes of others, this small ring with a simple design is only worth a few taels of silver, and if it is thrown in front of a dignified servant from a wealthy family, those who have never seen it are willing to bend down to pick it up.

It is such a worthless thing, but to Qin Xiao, it is more important than life.

He spread his palm, looked at the ring stained red by his own blood, slowly raised his head, and shouted: "Open the palace gate!"

The crown prince standing beside him was shocked and said angrily, "Are you crazy? You can't open it!" He then shouted loudly at the inner court guard guarding the palace gate, "Whoever dares to open the palace gate is guilty of rebellion!"

After shouting, he quickly helped Qin Xiao and said, "Why don't you have a wife? The lonely king will guarantee you with his life. After the chaos is over, he will definitely find a better marriage for you!"

Qin Xiao ignored him, and leaned on the crenel of the palace wall, and shouted at the second master: "I will go out alone, and exchange my life for Princess Leyi! If you agree, you will let Princess Leyi go and leave. You are one shot away."

"Do you think men are all fools? An arrow will be right under your noses!" The second master spat viciously on the ground, grabbed the girl next to him to his chest, and pressed the ghost head knife on her neck Go up, and shouted: "Open the palace gate, and I will let him go! Otherwise, you will collect your wife's body!"

The woman's body trembled into a ball, and she whined even louder!
"It's so far away, and the sky is so dark, who can tell that what they have is Princess Leyi? Don't be fooled by such a small trick!"

"I know!" Qin Xiao stared intently at the woman in the second master's hand, but didn't make it clear what he knew!
His tone was too gloomy and cold, and he couldn't tell whether it was a word of approval or disapproval, and the prince's eyes were bloodshot, "What do you know? Those who achieve great things don't care about small things. How can a man's big business be restrained by a mere woman? The lonely king's idea It has been decided that anyone who dares to open the palace gate will be killed without mercy!"

Qin Xiao didn't speak, but slapped the prince resoundingly with practical actions.

Seeing him turn around and go down the tower, his footsteps were firm without even the slightest hesitation, leaving no room for him to hold back, the prince's face turned from white to blue, from blue to white.The originally pretty handsome face was flickered by the flickering torch.For a moment, his eyes were extremely gloomy.

The hands in the sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and it took a long while before they were slowly released.Without the skin, how can the hair be attached?Once the gate of the palace is opened, let these gang of traitors come in. If his life is gone, what face will he have?
"Seventh brother!" The prince rushed down from the tower quickly, grabbed Qin Xiao's horse reins, his eyes were full of concern, and his tone was sad: "I was too anxious just now, seventh brother, don't take it to heart. But think about it, in case —That person is not a younger brother or sister, if you kill him like this, what problem can you solve besides sending him to death?"

There was no reaction on Qin Xiao's face, as if what the prince said had nothing to do with him.

Only coldly behind him, the two generals guarding the inner city said: "After I go out, immediately close the palace gate and let the archers guard the inner city. At most three hours, Xingyuan, Dingxian, and Linshui three Reinforcements must arrive! See the banner clearly, respond internally and externally, and we must kill this traitor!"

Thanks to Qin Xiao's kindness, the centurion guarding the city gate recommended him to be the third-rank guard with a knife in the inner city, Zhang Baichuan. He rushed down from the tower and stopped Qin Xiao in front of his horse. "Master! This subordinate is willing to accompany you out!"

"Master, the villain is also willing to accompany you out!"

"The villain is also willing!"

"And I!"

"do not forget me!"

With Zhang Baichuan taking the lead, in an instant, dozens of inner court guards knelt in front of Qin Xiao's horse, wanting to follow him out of the palace with one voice.

Qin Xiao looked at them quietly, with a flash of water in his eyes, but in a blink of an eye he shouted angrily, "You bastard, I'm going to see my wife, what kind of fun are you going to join in with? Get out, get out of here, what should you do? Go! Don't get in my eyes!"

Cursing in his mouth, the horsewhip in his hand was not idle, and he whipped at everyone's heads with the sound of wind.But even though the whip was drawn on them, the guards didn't move at all, they didn't even raise their eyebrows.

One of the black-faced men reached out and grabbed Qin Xiao's whip, and said in a low voice: "Master, don't hide it from us, even we can see that the woman is a man, can't you see it? You don't want to hide it from our brother, you insist on going out." Gong, I just want to fight to the death with this group of rebels! Don't think we are rough, we can't tell!"

Zhang Baichuan also persuaded: "My lord, according to my subordinates, Princess Leyi's auspicious person has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him! If they really fall into the hands of the rebels, they won't hide their heads and show their tails like this." Already!"

Qin Xiao didn't speak, just reached out and touched the bloody ring on the little finger of his left hand.It took a long time before he said: "This is my family business, it has nothing to do with you! If you don't get out of the way, don't blame the young master for turning his face!"

Xi'er has been wearing this ring since the day it was made, never leaving her body.It will never fall into the hands of the rebels for no reason!
He must not gamble with Xi'er's life!

Zhang Baichuan understood Qin Xiao's mood best at this time. At the time Princess Leyi just ran away from home, Qin Xiao was already anxious to kill someone.At this moment, Princess Leyi's life and death are unknown, so why did Shizi stay in the palace and not go out?
Knowing that the person opposite is not Princess Leyi, Shizi has to see it with his own eyes to be at ease!

He suddenly let go of the horse's rein, gritted his teeth, and said, "Master... If you must go, ride on the villain's horse!" With his strangest horse in the world, he believed that Qin Xiao would survive a little longer Opportunity!

"Okay!" Qin Xiao readily agreed this time, and jumped off his black-tailed horse neatly, onto Zhang Baichuan's old horse with a strange name.He touched the horse's neck and suddenly laughed, "It's awkward, we brothers, let's go out for a walk!"

"..." Everyone was speechless, you talk about brothers with Ma, and you talk about brothers with us, so what is our relationship with Ma?
Everyone watched Qin Xiao silently, but no one noticed that the Prince's face was ashen and his neck was twitching.

He stared at Qin Xiao with complicated eyes, and suddenly said: "Open the palace door, and send Seventh Brother out of the palace!"

Everyone didn't expect the prince to change his mind suddenly, but Qin Xiao's lips curved into a sneer, without turning his head, he reined the horse suddenly. 'Awkward' neighed, and dashed towards the palace gate.

The eunuchs guarding the palace gate hurriedly moved their horses and pulled the door latch. Suddenly, a famous eunuch pointed to the night sky in the northwest direction and exclaimed, "What is that?"

Zhang Baichuan was looking at Qin Xiao's back with tears in his eyes, when he heard the movement, he looked up covertly, and slapped the man's head, "What a fuss, have you never seen a Kongming lantern?"

Kongming Lantern?
Qin Xiao was shocked, and without even thinking about it, he shouted, "Drive!"

'Awkward' immediately planted his four hooves firmly on the green brick floor and remained motionless.
