Chapter 64 Ambush Xie Yuting, Don't Be Unreasonable
In the blink of an eye, the hunting season was half over, and in a few days it would be time to return to the palace.
The other princes were all vying to show off and surrounding Emperor Liang to show their courtesy, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the only one who went his own way. All he did every day was hunt and eat. He and Princess Jiang were in cahoots and looked down on everyone.
When Emperor Liang saw Xie Yuting's hopeless situation, he felt relieved.
Now that Xie Yusui has passed away, of his remaining sons, only Prince Xuan, born to his beloved Concubine Qiu, is the one he favors most. Yet, a thorn in his heart remains: who murdered Sui'er, and is Tong'er even involved?
But Tong'er was his and the imperial concubine's only son, so he didn't dare to investigate further, fearing that he would get unacceptable results.
The imperial concubine was already haggard because of the loss of her son, and she couldn't let anything happen to her other child.
Emperor Liang put aside his suspicions and went hunting with the other princes.
Brought all the princes, except Crown Prince Xie Yuting.
It was a beautiful spring day, and the two masters of the Eastern Palace were not out hunting. Instead, they were strolling around in their casual attire, swords slung over their shoulders. Xie Yuting took Jiang Yueying's hand, and together they strolled through the Wanhua Forest, the most picturesque spot in Qifeng Enclosure.
As the name suggests, Wanhua Forest is full of flowers. When you step into this place, the first thing you smell is the pleasant fragrance, followed by an overwhelming number of mountain flowers, in a myriad of colors, as if flower fairies have descended to the earth, spreading across the entire forest.
This year's hunting happened to be at the most charming time of spring. Flowers all over the mountains and fields came into view, making Jiang Yueying want to throw herself into the flowers and roll around.
She trotted quickly, passing through the area where corydalis were in full bloom. The hem of her goose yellow skirt was stained with pale purple petals. A gentle breeze blew, and the girl's bright smile was brighter than the spring flowers.
Xie Yuting followed behind her and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her immersed in the flowers.
"Little princess, wait for me."
Jiang Yueying had already been completely immersed in the fragrance of the flowers and could not hear anyone calling her from behind. She just bent down to pick flowers, holding the colorful flowers in her hands.
The little wolf Qiqi rolled directly in the flowers and was covered with sweet pollen.
Have a relaxing and enjoyable time.
Xie Yuting called out to Aying again, but she still didn't hear him.
The corners of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's lips drooped instantly. It was outrageous that a certain little princess was so dazzled by the wild flowers outside that she ignored him.
“Ouch!”
Jiang Yueying suddenly heard a wailing sound behind her. She turned her head and saw Xie Yuting sitting in the middle of the flowers, soaked by the petals.
Fell down?
She rushed over without stopping, frowning: "What happened? Did you sprain your ankle?" Her eyes couldn't help but focus on his ankle, and her tone was slightly worried.
Xie Yuting looked up aggrievedly and reached out for her to help him up.
Unable to react for a moment, Jiang Yueying subconsciously reached out her hand, and her slender wrist was grasped by the man. She fell into his arms filled with the fragrance of flowers and threw her whole body on him.
The warmth of the chest wrapped tightly around me, and a low chuckle came to my ear, sounding quite proud.
Jiang Yueying struggled a few times but failed to get up. Instead, Xie Yuting grabbed her waist and held her tightly.
Cunning guy.
"What are you doing? Don't act recklessly just because no one is here..."
Xie Yuting said pitifully, "You were so busy admiring the flowers that you ignored me. Am I not as pretty as those wild flowers, wild grasses, and wild men?"
“…”
It's okay to have wild flowers and weeds, but where did these wild men come from?
"Xie Yuting, don't be unreasonable." Jiang Yueying frowned and pouted while lying in the man's arms.
"I'm not being unreasonable. I'm being reasonable," Xie Yuting said confidently. "People say there's a seven-year itch. We've only been married for a short time, and you're just looking at the flowers and ignoring me, and you still think I'm being unreasonable."
"After so many years, when I'm old and ugly, will you no longer like me?"
Jiang Yueying really wanted to refute, shouldn’t you be talking to me? What if you really become the emperor in the future and have three thousand beauties in your harem, will you not like me anymore?
He was the first to feel wronged.
"Don't talk nonsense. I never liked you anyway." She said stubbornly.
Xie Yuting gritted his teeth and slapped her hard somewhere with his palm. Jiang Yueying straightened her back suddenly, her eyes widened, and her ears turned red.
"Are you angry out of shame?" She was furious and rubbed the place where he hit her. It was annoying. He always hit her here. What if it swelled up?
Xie Yuting said: "I don't care, you swear to me now, otherwise when I go back tonight I will--" He dragged out the last syllable and smiled maliciously.
Jiang Yueying didn't know what she was thinking about. Her cheeks flushed and she whispered, "You, what about you?"
He raised his long, well-proportioned hand and waved it in front of her eyes: "Just add one more finger."
"You are shameless!" Jiang Yueying blushed and looked around, afraid of being heard.
"Do you swear?"
"Send it if you want, what to send?"
Xie Yuting said: "Just swear that you will always love me. Even if Xie Yuting becomes old, ugly, stupid, or a dogtail grass, you will remain loyal to me."
Jiang Yueying: "..."
"Why should I still like you even if you turn into a dogtail grass?"
"So you admit that you like me even though I haven't turned into a dogtail grass?" Xie Yuting instantly became proud. "You just like me."
Jiang Yueying was confused by him, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. She bit his shoulder hard in anger, left a word "you're dreaming", and got up to continue picking flowers.
She turned her back to Xie Yuting and rubbed her burning cheeks, thinking that this guy was really hateful and only knew how to do bad things. He had a total of 800 tricks, and 799 of them were used to tease her.
The sunlight is like a veil, shining on the endless sea of flowers, and the petals are glowing with a warm halo.
Bend over and pick the flowers.
There were footsteps coming from not far away, and Yu Lang hurried over.
"Your Highness, the eunuch beside His Majesty came to report that His Majesty has summoned you."
Jiang Yueying frowned. Didn’t Emperor Liang dislike Xie Yuting? Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Xie Yuting: "Are you going to scold me?"
"I don't know."
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Yueying said, "Come over quickly. I'll go back to the tent after picking the flowers."
He also warned: "Don't talk back to your father."
Although she was pretending to be a playboy, she didn't want Xie Yuting to be punished for it.
"Yes, I'll listen to the little princess." Xie Yuting laughed out loud.
"Xiao Lang, you will escort the Crown Princess back to the tent later."
Yulang obeyed the order.
Xie Yuting walked slowly out of the forest. Sure enough, at the entrance of the Wanhua Forest, he saw the eunuch who had delivered the message. He asked lazily, "Didn't the emperor go hunting today?"
The young eunuch whispered, "I don't know."
"?"
Xie Yuting noticed something strange and pressed the eunuch's shoulders. He said in a low voice, "Say it again?"
Before he could reply, the young eunuch fell to the ground. Xie Yuting looked closely and saw that his lips were purple, as if he had swallowed poison.
He was suddenly startled and in trouble.
Xie Yuting immediately turned around and rushed back, flying very fast with his Qing Kung Fu. When he was halfway there, a huge fire suddenly broke out in the middle of the Wanhua Forest, with flames shooting up into the sky and smoke filling the air.
The unpleasant and pungent black smoke spread, and Xie Yuting accidentally inhaled the smoke. He quickly squatted down, covered his mouth and nose, and started coughing violently.
“Ahem…”
…
On the other side, Jiang Yueying saw a big fire not far away, and his eyes were bloodshot. How could the fire happen just after Xie Yuting left? He couldn't stand the smoke!
"Xiao Lang, go find Xie Yuting quickly!" She was so panicked that the flowers in her hand fell to the ground.
Yu Lang immediately came to her side, drew his long sword, and said with a serious and nervous expression: "Crown Princess, we are ambushed. I will be responsible for clearing the way for you. Run quickly."
What? !
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of masked men in black suddenly appeared from all directions, each holding a weapon and approaching with a fierce look in their eyes.
"kill!"
The men in black rushed forward collectively, like a swarm of locusts, slashing with their jade-like long swords. The arc of their swing was like a less-than-full moon, emitting a blood-red light.
"You won't last long!" said a man in black.
Yu Lang turned a deaf ear to him, his brows furrowed in a cold expression, and the long knife pierced directly through his chest and into his heart.
Suddenly, the hand holding the knife, which was usually steady, trembled. Yu Lang lowered his head and found a purple-blue line spreading across his palm.
It's poison.
Yu Lang recalled that today only the young eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had touched his hand.
Your Highness...
He raised his hand and slapped himself, his eyes red.
It was all his fault for not being careful enough, which harmed His Highness and the Crown Princess.
The men in black sneered: "Why, you can't beat us so you start hurting yourself?"
Yu Lang raised his eyes, murderous intent filled his pupils. He had to kill them and save His Highness.
He realized that his strength was gradually fading, so he immediately sealed several blood channels on his body to slow down the spread of the poison. He raised his knife and rushed out again to fight with the man in black.
There were too many men in black, and Yu Lang had already blocked most of them, but a small number of them took the opportunity to kill Jiang Yueying.
Jiang Yueying ran towards the place where there was fire. The little wolf had already bared its fangs. While she was running desperately, Qiqi pounced on the man in black fiercely. The sharp fangs pierced into his neck, and the bloody red liquid gushed out with a crackling sound.
She continued to run forward with her head down.
"stop!"
The remaining men in black were entangled by Qiqi. The little wolf, who usually just acted like a spoiled child and rubbed against people, was now blood-thirsty and blocked their way. Even though his fur was covered in blood, he would not let them get close to Jiang Yueying at all.
"Ah--" the wolf's howl echoed throughout the Forest of Flowers.
At this moment, Jiang Yueying hated herself for not being able to perform Qinggong.
As she was running, a tall and burly man in black fell from the sky and blocked her way.
The man in black held his sword contemptuously and approached step by step.
Jiang Yueying made a prompt decision and drew out her sword, which flew out of its sheath, and the cold light reflected on her profile.
The man in black on the opposite side sneered: "I can defeat you without using a sword."
Jiang Yueying ignored his ridicule and gripped the hilt of the shuriken tightly. There was a string of osmanthus tassels on the hilt, which she shook gently. This string of tassels was woven for her by Xie Yuting, who said that if she wore his tassels, she would be invincible.
At that time, she laughed at his childishness, but now when she saw the sword tassels again, she suddenly felt a lot of strength surge throughout her body, and every scene of Xie Yuting teaching her sword moves flashed through her mind.
He said that his unique sword technique is called Youlong, and he will teach it to you today.
Jiang Yueying waved the long sword in her hand, pointed her toes forward, raised her wrist slightly, and swung out a sharp sword light.
The man in black was surprised and quickly tried to block.
clank--!
The two swords collided, making a harsh sound.
The sword hummed as Jiang Yueying fought with the man in black, not losing the upper hand at all. Sparks flew and swords flashed and shadows shone.
While Yulang was fighting not far away, he kept an eye on Jiang Yueying. He saw the Crown Princess spin around and attack, the sword energy whistling. In a trance, her figure seemed to overlap with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
So similar.
Yu Lang choked on a mouthful of blood and continued to draw his sword.
Ding!!
Jiang Yueying was panting as she faced the tough opponent.
"Surrender quickly and don't waste your energy!" The man in black was sweating profusely. He didn't expect that a princess of Jiang Kingdom would be so difficult to defeat.
"Pooh!"
Jiang Yueying wiped away the sweat, her eyes were determined, and she gripped the sword tightly in her hand. Even though her strength was almost gone, she remained indomitable.
She was the disciple taught by Xie Yuting himself, how could she lose?
The man in black yelled, "I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin!"
He rushed up at an extremely fast speed. Jiang Yueying stared at his movements. Everything in front of her seemed to slow down. The girl's eyes suddenly lit up and she found the man's flaw!
She turned her wrist and in a breath, knocked the three-foot green sword out of his hand.
The man in black was horrified.
Jiang Yueying seized the opportunity, and in just a short moment, every move and form that Xie Yuting taught her emerged in her mind.
The man's voice is still ringing in my ears.
He smiled and said, the Youlong Sword Technique can be adapted into a sword technique that best suits you and is unique to you, so give it a name.
Little princess, have you made up your mind?
The long sword stabbed the man in black as fast as thunderbolt.
Jiang Yueying used all her strength, her goose yellow clothes fluttering, and the sword was sharp as she chopped the black-clothed man's neck with the force of breaking through the clouds.
She said: "This sword is called Jinghong!"
Wow——
The throat was cut and blood splattered everywhere.
The man in black's pupils bulged out and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The red blood sprayed like red rain, soaking the girl's fair face and staining it with blood.
Like a medal.
