Chapter 138 Do you really like Xie Lingxi?
Licheng, posthouse.
Jiang Rong heard the news Xiao Nanxing brought back and said angrily:
"I don't know this person at all. What nonsense is he talking about! I think he doesn't want to marry me, but covets the prince!"
"Ah?" Xiao Nanxing looked confused.
"Even if the prince gives me a divorce letter, he still has no right to control who I remarry. Even if I divorce the prince, I can't marry him! So his conditions are not to marry me, but to drive me away and vacate the position of the prince's consort..." Jiang Rong's eyes flashed coldly, and he was very alert:
"Didn't he say something like he wanted the prince to find a better beauty? Look, he's even prepared the candidate! He just wants the prince to divorce me and marry someone else."
This Cen Tingbai actually wants to separate me and my husband!
Jiang Rong took back what she had said before that she thought he was the second best looking.
He is so ugly!
Ugly mind! So ugly!
"Where is my husband?" Jiang Rong asked with concern.
Xiao Nanxing replied, "The prince has gone to arrange for the medicine to be taken back. Princess Consort, don't worry, the prince will definitely get the medicine back."
Coming out of the General's Mansion.
Xie Lingxi immediately summoned Chushu and called up the secret guards.
People from Wanjin Commercial Bank have also arrived in Licheng, ready to provide support.
Xie Lingxi had prepared for the worst early on: if he couldn't buy it, he would just rob it.
However, the plan to grab medicine must be thorough and cautious.
Once the other party destroys the medicine, it will be troublesome.
Be careful.
…
The General's Mansion of Zhennan.
The guard stepped forward with a sword in hand and said, "General, this Northern Prince seems unwilling to divorce Miss Jiang..."
"Arrange people outside the city to kill him." Cen Tingbai said calmly, "Since he doesn't want to divorce, then he should die."
“But this matter will definitely cause the Xie family to investigate, and then…” The man holding the sword showed a worried look on his face.
Cen Tingbai didn't say anything, but just glanced coldly at Zhijian.
The other party immediately shut up and took the order to make the arrangements.
So the personnel of both sides began to prepare secretly.
Conflict is imminent.
After Cen Tingbai finished arranging things, he went to inspect the military camp outside the city as usual.
Not far from the door...
I immediately realized that something was wrong around me.
Someone is lurking around...
Cen Tingbai usually travels with only eight personal guards, not many people, but no one dares to attack him in Licheng...
Cen Tingbai's eyes darkened. It seemed that Xie Lingxi really didn't have much brains.
They actually ambushed me directly on the street?
The city patrol guards will arrive soon, and the street is definitely not a suitable ambush point.
Besides, he didn't have any medicine with him. What's the point of ambushing him? We can't get the medicine even if we catch him.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
There were sounds of breaking air on both sides.
Several figures in black flew down from the eaves on both sides of the street.
The accompanying personal guards protected Cen Tingbai, and the two sides started fighting.
Cen Tingbai narrowed his eyes and looked at a carriage that appeared at the end of the front.
There is a sign hanging with the Xie family’s words.
Arresting me openly? Tsk, this playboy really ignores the law...
But the next moment, Cen Tingbai was stunned.
Because the curtain of the carriage was lifted up, a woman in a red dress stood in front of the carriage frame, and the autumn wind lifted her black silk sleeves.
She held a bow and arrow in her hand, the arrow pointed directly at Cen Tingbai's face, and spoke in a clear and cold voice:
"Come here! I'm not very good at archery. Don't run away. If I get nervous, I'll let go of the bowstring. I can't guarantee where I'll hit."
Cen Tingbai felt something magical. In order to avoid mistaking someone, he looked at Jiang Rong's portrait in advance, and this was indeed her...
Even brighter and more beautiful than in the portrait.
"General!" The man holding the sword shouted urgently, and the bow and arrow in his hand also pointed at Jiang Rong.
But Jiang Rong was not afraid at all, and looked down at them:
"I heard that Marquis Jingnan has taken a fancy to me. I guess he wouldn't shoot the woman he likes with one arrow, right?"
Cen Tingbai felt that what she said was quite interesting.
He said to the swordsman, "Everyone stand back."
Cen Tingbai turned over and got off the horse.
He walked straight to Jiang Rong and said in a very gentle tone: "What do you want to see me for?"
"Chen Guangzong!" Jiang Rong ignored him and just shouted.
Chen Guangzong, who had been standing by with a wooden stick ready to go, shouted, "Brothers, charge!"
Each of the ceremonial guards held a thick wooden stick and started beating Cen Tingbai violently.
What kind of person is Cen Tingbai?
He blocked Chen Guangzong's stick with one hand and was about to fight back...
But the next moment...
The long arrow in Jiang Rong's hand flew like a flying arrow, accurately shooting towards his right hand that was holding the wooden stick. Cen Tingbai could only let go of his hand and avoid the arrow...
The opponent's second arrow had already shot towards his forehead.
Cen Tingbai raised his hand and grabbed the long arrow...
"laugh--"
The arrow blade cut through the palm of his hand, leaving a bloody mark.
The first thought that came to Cen Tingbai's mind was that Jiang Rong was an extremely skilled archer and could even shoot an arrow through a target from a hundred steps away.
The next moment...
Chen Guangzong raised the wooden stick high and smashed it down hard while he was catching the arrow.
"Bang!" The stick hit him on the back, hitting him hard.
The others' sticks also fell like a heavy rain.
Zhijian and others wanted to go forward to help, but were stopped by Jingzhe and his men.
Cen Tingbai was a martial arts expert. Even though he was at a disadvantage for a moment and was hit by a few sticks, he quickly knocked down Chen Guangzong and others and flew straight in front of Jiang Rong.
"What do you want to do?" Cen Tingbai frowned slightly.
Jiang Rong was a little depressed. This man's skills were unexpectedly good. With so many people beating him up, he seemed to have internal strength protecting him, and he looked like he was not injured.
The most serious injury might be the arrow mark on his palm.
It's not satisfying.
It's so frustrating.
"Of course I'm going to beat you up to vent my anger. My husband and I are living in harmony and respect each other, but you want to break up our match made in heaven..." Jiang Rong said slowly with a gloomy face:
"Is it normal for me to beat you up?"
Since Marquis Jingnan used the excuse of liking her, he deserved this beating.
"You... like Xie Lingxi?" Cen Tingbai was puzzled: "That kind of playboy, who is ignorant and unskilled, ruined your original engagement and took you away by force! How could you like such a person?"
"My husband is handsome, has noble character, and treats me very well. So what if I like him?" Jiang Rong glanced at him coldly:
"I can't possibly divorce him, and I can't possibly marry you. The Evergreen Mushroom is what keeps me alive. My husband is looking for medicine for me, and he can't possibly agree to your terms."
"You can destroy the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom, but even if I die, my husband will never marry someone else."
The reason she came here today, apart from venting her anger by beating Cen Tingbai, was to deliberately leak the news to him.
Since he wanted to make room for someone else as the Crown Prince's Consort, upon hearing the news, he would surely rush to destroy the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom.
It is still unknown where he has hidden the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom. Even if the prince catches him, it will be difficult to find the whereabouts of the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom.
It would be better to lure him to destroy the medicine and expose the location of the Evergreen Fairy Mushroom.
