Chapter 58 King Zhaonan will cover you
Under the arrangement of Jing Siye and Nangong Ling, Li Xiao and Jing Sirui hid in Chilianya, where the Chi Ming Sect was located.
The terrain here is extremely steep, with steep cliffs all around. The valley is often filled with strange fog, making it difficult to tell the direction.
Li Xiao looked at this strange and dangerous environment with mixed feelings.
He never imagined that his lifelong loyalty and risking his life on the battlefield would be rewarded with a malicious frame-up and become a wanted criminal by the imperial court.
He had no place to vent his grievances and anger, and what made him even more guilty was that Jing Sirui had resolutely given up his noble status as a prince for him and embarked on this journey of escape with him.
Li Xiao couldn't suppress his inner resentment and unwillingness, so he picked up a sword and stepped into the biting cold wind.
The cold wind howled, blowing up his hair and clothes. His body was agile and his sword skills were vigorous and powerful. Every move and every style carried the murderous aura of past battlefields.
Jing Sirui stood aside, his eyes full of admiration and obsession.
He clapped his hands vigorously and kept cheering:
"General Li, great swordsmanship!"
Loud applause echoed in the valley, adding a bit of vitality to the cold atmosphere.
As soon as Li Xiao put away his sword, Jing Sirui immediately stepped forward, holding a handkerchief in his hand, and gently wiped the sweat from Li Xiao's forehead.
Then, he brought a cup of warm tea that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Li Xiao.
"General Li, please drink some tea."
Li Xiao took the tea, stroked Jing Sirui's face with one hand, and said distressedly:
"Rui'er, I'm sorry for making you suffer. For a sinner like me, you gave up your status as a prince and hid in this remote Chilian Cliff."
When Jing Sirui heard this, his eyes instantly became moist.
After a moment, he showed a warm smile.
"General Li, in my heart, nothing in this world is more important than you. I am willing to give up everything for you. As long as I can be with you, I don't care where I am or what kind of life I lead."
Jing Sirui grabbed Li Xiao's hand and continued, "Besides, I believe in my second brother. One day, he will help you find those who framed you and clear your name."
Li Xiao's eyes also turned red. He gently stroked Jing Sirui's cheek. He wanted to say something, but felt that the words were too pale and weak.
The two of them just stared at each other quietly, their eyes filled with affection, trust and expectations for the future.
Just as the two were immersed in this warm and sweet atmosphere, a teasing voice suddenly broke the silence:
"Oh, look at this romantic scene, it's really enviable."
Li Xiao and Jing Sirui turned their heads and saw that Nangong Ling, the leader of the Chi Ming Sect, had been standing not far away.
Nangong Ling was still wearing the iconic red dress, which made her particularly eye-catching in this gloomy valley.
His long hair was casually tied behind his head and he had a cynical smile on his face, but his eyes were shrewd and sharp, making him unpredictable.
Li Xiao and Jing Sirui quickly calmed down, walked forward, and bowed respectfully to Nangong Ling to express their gratitude.
"Thank you for saving my life, Master. If you and the Second Prince hadn't intervened in time, I would have died. Now, Master has taken us in. We will never forget this kindness."
Jing Sirui also echoed: "Yes, we will remember the great kindness of the leader."
Nangong Ling waved her hand.
"No need to be so polite. If you want to thank someone, thank your nephew Zhu Wenqin. I am not a kind-hearted person. If it weren't for him, I would not have gotten involved in this mess."
"What?"
Li Xiao widened his eyes in shock.
"You...how do you know my nephew? Where is he now?"
Nangong Ling crossed her arms across her chest and slowly walked forward a few steps, still with that half-smile on her face.
"After you were imprisoned, your so-called Zhu family relatives were really ruthless. They ruthlessly drove your sister and nephew out of the house, leaving them homeless and helpless. However, they were lucky to be met by Zhaonan King Jing Siye. Now, your nephew is the treasure of Jing Siye's mansion, and he takes care of him meticulously."
Hearing this, Li Xiao's anger was instantly ignited.
He clenched his fists, and the veins on his arms bulged. He wished he could go down the mountain immediately, find those ungrateful people in the Zhu family, teach them a lesson, and seek justice for his sister and nephew.
Jing Sirui heard this, thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Oh, now I remember that my second brother rejected the marriage proposal from our father for him, and the one who was chosen was the most beautiful woman in the capital. It seems that my second brother really likes him."
Nangong Ling also said, "Jing Sirui is right. Zhu Wenqin is very safe in Jing Siye's mansion, you don't have to worry too much. The terrain of Chimingya is steep and strange, surrounded by cliffs and various traps. Ordinary people can't get in. You can live here without worry and wait for news from Jing Siye."
After hearing this, Li Xiao calmed down a little.
Jing Sirui looked at Nangong Ling and asked curiously:
"Master, I have always been curious about the relationship between you and my second brother. Seeing that you two joined forces to rescue General Li this time, and cooperated so well, I guess your relationship must be special."
"Ahem... ahem... this is a long story..."
When asked this by Jing Sirui, Nangong Ling coughed twice in embarrassment. He couldn't sue Jing Sirui. A few years ago, he got drunk and caused trouble in Yuxiangyuan. When Jing Siye found out, the two fought for a whole day and night, and finally Nangong Ling admitted defeat.
"I will tell you again later. What I came here to say today is that if you have anything to ask, just ask. If you want to spend money, don't be polite. King Zhaonan will cover the cost for you."
"This leader has something to do and will leave first. You guys continue."
