Chapter 163: Jealousy

It seems that breaking up Sister Qingyi and Xiao Yelin cannot rely on that woman alone, he also needs to think of a way.

Whoosh!!!

Suddenly, an arrow shot out, bringing with it a sound of breaking wind.

Before Pei Lin could react, the horse under him was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground with a mournful cry.

He quickly jumped up to avoid being injured by the fall.

Looking up, I saw a mysterious man in black standing on a high wall not far away. He had a mask on his face, a bow in his hand, and a few feather arrows in his backpack.

There is no doubt that the person who attacked his horse must be this person.

"Who are you?"

Pei Lin's face was gloomy. After shouting angrily, he jumped into the air, climbed up the wall in a blink of an eye, and stood in front of the man in black.

"The one who wants to kill you."

The other party laughed twice, suddenly swung the bow in his hand and attacked him with fierce moves, each one hitting the vital points.

"Arrogant."

You want to take his life with just a broken bow?

Pei Lin's eyes turned cold, he didn't dodge or evade, but went forward to meet the attack.

The two figures collided in an instant, and the more than one-foot-wide wall became their stage.

Only after the actual fight did Pei Lin realize how wrong he was.

He thought this person was nothing special, but he didn't expect that he had underestimated him.

The opponent's internal strength was vast, his attacks were fast and fierce, and his strength was so great that he could hardly resist.

Who is this?

When did such a powerful person appear in Kyoto?

No, no, no, the important thing is, did he offend this person? Why was he being targeted?

BANG!!!

Suddenly, he was kicked hard in the chest by the opponent, his feet became unstable and his body fell downwards.

It all happened so fast that Pei Lin couldn't react in time.

He quickly drew the soft sword from his waist, inserted it into the crack in the wall, cushioned the force of the fall, and then jumped and landed steadily on the ground.

However, he didn't expect that the other party was still chasing him, jumped off the high wall, and continued to attack him.

"Brother, has this general ever offended you?"

The other party continued to laugh strangely, "No, but you offended someone you shouldn't have offended."

Someone who should not be offended?

Who is it?

Pei Lin was confused for a moment, but soon, an imposing man appeared in his mind.

Could it be him?

"You dare to attack me in a fight? Are you looking down on me? If that's the case, I'll have to use all my strength."

Pei Lin: "..."

He instantly became anxious and angrily said, "I am a general of the current dynasty, standing at the feet of the emperor. You are trying to assassinate an official appointed by the court. Aren't you afraid of the emperor's wrath?"

Unexpectedly, this remark caused the other party to laugh.

"Oh, the current general? He's nothing but a piece of crap. These days, anyone can be a general. If you have the guts, just defeat me. What's the point of bringing up the emperor?"

"Are the generals of the current dynasty only able to use their status to oppress others?"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and kicked Pei Lin fiercely. Pei Lin quickly waved the sword in his hand to block.

Snap!!!

Under the opponent's strong internal strength, the sword in his hand was broken into several pieces and fell to the ground.

Looking at the hilt in his hand, Pei Lin's heart trembled with fear. This was a newly forged black iron sword that he had used for less than three months, yet it was shattered so easily by the opponent...

Without thinking too much, he quickly dropped the hilt of the sword in his hand and dodged the opponent's attack.

But the opponent's attack was too fierce. He dodged a series of spinning kicks once, but was unable to dodge the second time and was kicked hard in the chest.

In an instant, he felt a surge of blood and energy throughout his body, and his meridians seemed to be broken.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes turned black, and he fell straight to the ground and fainted.

The man in black did a dashing backflip and landed beside him. He casually raised his foot and stepped on his face, crushing it a few times.

"Tsk, I said you were useless, and you really are useless. I only used half of my strength, but you couldn't even last a cup of tea."

After he finished speaking, he raised his leg and kicked Pei Lin in the chest mercilessly again. After breaking a bone, he withdrew his leg and turned away with satisfaction.

"Send him back to the Pei family. Don't let him die. Also, do you know how to tell the Pei family?"

"yes."

In the room.

Xiao Yelin looked at Xiao Jinmian, who was sitting on the bed, holding Shen Qingyi's hand and chattering non-stop, and spoke without any emotion.

"Mianmian, it's getting late. You should go back first. I still have something to say to Qingyi'er."

Xiao Jinmian: “…”

She hasn't finished talking yet?

Brother Wang, isn't this a bit unfair of you?

Xiao Jinmian pouted and was about to refuse, but then she remembered that it seemed like they hadn't been alone together for a long time.

The words on the tip of his tongue turned around and became: "Qingyi, Brother Wang is here to accompany you, then I will go back first and come back another day."

Anyway, she is very free and can talk to Qingyi anytime she wants. There is no need to rush. Therefore, there is no need to delay the development of the relationship between Brother Wang and Qingyi.

"Okay, then Princess, please be careful on the road."

Thinking of Xiao Jinmian's last assassination attempt and what she encountered yesterday, Shen Qingyi gave a worried instruction.

Ever since Su Haitang from another world came here, she and the princess have had no peace.

Especially her, she had obviously become a thorn in Su Haitang's side.

She didn't know what was waiting for her next.

"Well, Qingyi, don't worry. I'm going out today and I've brought a lot of guards with me."

Xiao Jinmian smiled proudly. In addition to the guards, she also brought a signal. If anyone dared to assassinate her like last time, she would send the signal immediately.

Upon receiving the signal, the Imperial City Guard will rush to support.

After leaving Shen Qingyi's yard, Xiao Jinmian saw Shen Yaoxing walking hurriedly not far away.

She didn't want to pay attention to him, but his hearing was very good. After hearing the noise, he turned his head and saw that it was her, so he walked over.

He looked down at her and said, "Princess, are you leaving?"

Xiao Jinmian snorted, "So what?"

Whenever she saw him, she would be filled with rage and couldn't talk properly, but he wasn't angry at all.

"Okay, then I will escort the princess back to her residence."

"Need not……"

Xiao Jinmian refused without thinking, and when she was about to leave, she suddenly realized that his hairstyle, clothes and shoes were very different from when he left Shen Qingyi's room before.

She looked him up and down, and immediately said with disgust, "Where are you going? Why are you dressed so shabby and ugly?"

The style and material of these clothes and shoes were not even as good as those worn by the servants in her mansion, which made the spoiled princess very disgusted.

Chen Yaoxing: “…”

The silly princess likes everything that looks good, including clothes, jewelry, and people. He was just about to go back and change his clothes quickly, but who knew he would run into her leaving so early.

He didn't have time to change it, what could he do?

"It's a bit shabby, but it's not ugly, is it? After all, with my face here, I can look good in anything I wear."

"shameless."

Xiao Jinmian suppressed the urge to curse softly, then walked past him, chest out and headed towards the gate with a proud and arrogant look.

Chen Yaoxing hurriedly chased after him.

Forget it. Since she doesn't want him to escort her, then he will just follow her secretly. He will only feel at ease when he sees her return home with his own eyes.

"Qingyi, what happened yesterday? How could you encounter such a thing?"

After Xiao Jinmian left, Xiao Yelin sat down beside the bed and stayed by Shen Qingyi's side.

He only knew that she had been seriously injured in an accident and was in a coma. As for other things, he knew nothing.

"I'm not sure..."

Shen Qingyi shook her head and told her in detail what she knew.

"All I know is that I was sitting perfectly still in the carriage when it suddenly lost control. The coachman and guards disappeared, and I was knocked unconscious. Before I passed out, I saw Brother Pei..."

After hearing what she said, Xiao Yelin lowered his eyes slightly and frowned.

"It seems that this matter is most likely man-made."

Shen Qingyi nodded in agreement. "I think so too, but I haven't offended anyone recently. Who is trying to make things difficult for me?"

"Perhaps, it's not to make things difficult for you, but for other purposes."

He spoke lightly, and Shen Qingyi's eyes moved, and she looked puzzled.

"Another purpose? What could it be?"

"Heh, what if someone wants to plan a hero saving a beautiful girl?"

Xiao Ye Lin laughed coldly. Thinking that when he came to see Qingyi today, the man surnamed Pei had already arrived at Qingyi's room first, he became very angry.

That guy, knowing that Qingyi was engaged to him, still coveted Qingyi. He was courting death by trying to snatch her away.

"Your Highness, do you mean that Brother Pei did this?"

Shen Qingyi stared at him in a daze, pretending to be incredulous and muttering to herself.

Hearing her calling him "Brother Pei" over and over again, Xiao Yelin instantly became even angrier.

He is her fiancé, and they are childhood sweethearts, but she always calls him Prince. When they are most intimate, she calls him Ye Lin. But to that damn guy, she calls him Brother.

Is that guy her older brother?

Who is Chen Mu then?

Xiao Yelin was about to be overwhelmed by jealousy, his face was gloomy and his tone was very bad.

"I didn't say that. Qingyi said that herself."

Shen Qingyi: "..."
