Chapter 27: Push Out to Block the Knife (Overhaul)
The black-clad man's dagger flashed a dazzling cold light in the sunlight and pierced straight into Zhao Yuanrong's heart.
Zhao Yuanrong dodged it easily, but was afraid that the drug was too strong, so he didn't want to get entangled and pulled Qu Ling, "Let's go."
She learned martial arts from the former commander of the imperial guards, and usually doesn't like to take her maid out.
If Qu Ling hadn't also come to the Song family, she wouldn't have come.
It's definitely not a good thing.
It just so happened that Su Shang was sent away by Qu Ling.
"Don't worry, sister."
Qu Ling quickly reached into the brocade bag at his waist with his right hand, pulled out a handful of red chili powder, and sprinkled it fiercely into the eyes of the man in black.
If she dared to send Su Shang away, she must have made other preparations.
The Song family is the Song family's stronghold and they will never let her go easily.
In her previous life, she was rejected by the Marquis's Mansion and was not able to attend the birthday banquet at all.
She didn't know what would happen at the birthday party.
Just make full preparations.
The dagger given by the eldest princess was also put in his pocket.
In addition to chili powder, there was also lime powder in the brocade bag, and the hairpin on her head was also soaked in knockout drug. She also asked Su Shang for a small sleeve arrow.
It really came in handy.
"ah--"
The man in black was caught off guard and let out a scream when the chili powder entered his eyes.
He covered his eyes with his hands and stepped back, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Qu Ling then supported Zhao Yuanrong and said, "Looks like he's the only assassin. Let's go."
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Zhao Yuanrong's forehead. "What was Song Yuzhen thinking? He wanted to kill me, so he just poisoned me, drugged me, and then sent a thief with mediocre skills. What a waste of time..."
Seeing her like this, Qu Ling knew that she was fine and breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I kill you directly, wouldn't the Song family be in big trouble? Putting the blame on me kills two birds with one stone."
Song Yuzhen was the happiest when Zhao Yuanrong died.
Even if Qu Ling were alive, the princess would not vent her anger on her and would stop caring about her from then on.
By then, he will just become the chopping block of the Song family.
"Sister, do you know the way?" Qu Ling felt dizzy.
Zhao Yuanrong felt dizzy, "...I don't know him."
Then keep running forward.
The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer. The man in black had obviously recovered and was chasing him closely.
After turning a corridor, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of me.
Qu Lianxue knelt on the bluestone slab, her hair disheveled and tears still lingering on her face.
Seeing Qu Ling, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, "Big sister, save..."
Qu Ling did not hesitate at all and pushed Qu Lianxue towards the man in black who was chasing him.
“Puff—”
The dagger pierced Qu Lianxue's chest without any hindrance.
Her eyes widened, and she hadn't reacted at all.
The man in black was also stunned.
Qu Lianxue slowly turned her head and saw only Qu Ling's back.
Her lips trembled as she tried to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by blood.
When the man in black realized that he had killed Qu Lianxue by mistake, he simply kicked her away.
He drew his dagger and gave chase again.
This is a yard and there is no road ahead.
"It's okay, Su Shang is nearby."
Qu Ling said to Zhao Yuanrong.
"Go to hell."
The man in black roared and approached.
Qu Ling drew his dagger.
The next moment, Su Shang flew over, kicked the man in black in the chest, and then broke off both of his arms.
"Who asked you to kill people?" Qu Ling's dagger was stuck in the palm of the man in black.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Tingqin and Chiyuan came together.
"Miss, I have summoned the Shaoqing Lord as you instructed."
Qu Ling had a feeling that throwing tea was not that simple.
When she came out, she asked Tingqin to find Chi Yuan.
No matter what the Song family wants to do, she will save her own life and leave the rest to the people in the Dali Temple.
You must investigate, the deeper the better.
If you want to make a fuss, the bigger the better.
If the Song family doesn’t want face, then forget it.
Su Shang was sent away by her to find Qu Lianxue and hide in the backyard. If there was an assassin that he could not deal with, Su Shang would take action.
Life is so precious. Qu Ling has to be careful to protect himself and live slowly, and then send those people to hell.
Chi Yuan was also attending the banquet today. Although he was not wearing his official uniform, he still asked, "What happened?"
He saw Qu Ling and was slightly surprised. "Is the girl okay?"
Qu Ling nodded. "Sir, the princess drank the Song family's tea and lost her strength. Then she encountered an assassin. What a coincidence! The Dali Temple will take care of it, right?"
She pointed at the dead Qu Lianxue and said, "My poor sister, she lost her life just like that."
Chi Yuan ordered the servant, "Go report to the Dali Temple. There is an assassin who has killed someone."
The servant went there swiftly.
The man in black struggled to get up.
Qu Ling stepped on his chest, almost making him vomit blood.
He took out a thin strip of cloth from his bosom, which looked like silk cut and tied together, and in a few moves he tied up the man in black tightly.
Ikebuchi: ...
Really...skilled.
Only then did Qu Ling breathe a sigh of relief.
"A Ling, I feel dizzy..." Zhao Yuanrong's hands were shaking and he was disoriented.
"Sister, let me help you to rest."
Chi Yuan's face was filled with worry. "How is the princess?"
Qu Ling cried, "It doesn't seem to be very good."
Su Shang pulled off the mask of the man in black, revealing a strange face, probably in his early twenties. She did not recognize him.
"Master Wei?" Chi Yuan frowned, his voice lowered. "Why did you disguise yourself as an assassin and kill Miss Qu?"
Qu Ling's heart was shocked. A fourth-rank official surnamed Wei who was killed by the princess? She had heard the marquis mention it before.
"I want to kill Zhao Yuanrong," he said with resentment, "I want the eldest princess to have her family torn apart as well!"
"Who let you in?" Qu Ling asked.
"I climbed over the wall myself."
"Is the Song family's wall so easy to climb over?" Qu Ling asked Su Shang to kick him twice. "If you can climb out, I'll let you go. Try climbing over it again and let me see."
Wei Mingshan was furious.
"Who ordered you to kill us?"
Wei Mingshan roared, "I didn't instruct anyone to do this. I only want to kill Zhao Yuanrong. I want revenge on the Princess."
Su Shang slapped him on the face, "Why are you yelling? You scared our girl."
She even raised her foot and stepped on Wei Mingshan's head.
"Someone from the Dali Temple will be here soon, Miss Qu, please do not resort to lynching."
"Of course, of course." Qu Ling signaled Su Shang to put his foot down.
"I'm waiting for Master Chi to find out who is behind this."
"Do you suspect someone did it on purpose?" Chi Yuan asked.
Qu Ling cast his gaze towards the group of people hurrying towards him from a distance. "He wants to avenge his father's murder, the Song family wants to get rid of Sister Yuan Rong, and my stepmother wants the princess to dislike me. They each have their own agenda, and they hit it off perfectly."
The girls led by Song Yuzhen had now run closer and the first thing they saw was Qu Lianxue's body.
The girls screamed and scattered, and Song Yujin was stunned and couldn't believe it.
She just asked Qu Lianxue to kneel here until lunch time, how... how could he die?
"Fourth sister..." Qu Lianzhi was trying hard to suppress his dizziness, his face pale, "How could Fourth sister..."
How could the dead person be Qu Lianxue?
Her eyes fell on Zhao Yuanrong. Seeing that although Zhao Yuanrong was unconscious, he had no wounds, her heart sank.
"You guys arrived pretty quickly," Qu Ling said casually, "Did you foresee that something might happen to Sister Yuan Rong and me?"
The servant who brought the news would not notify the female relatives first.
