Xie Qingyao didn't dare to make any noise, after all, the distance between the carriages was not far.
She let He Zhengxu hold her in his arms, and her breath was filled with the refreshing and pleasant scent of cold pine from his body.
He Zheng kissed her a little harder, and when he let go, he looked at her appearance. Xie Qingyao's lips were tender and rosy, and her face was even redder.
When I first met her, she really looked pitiful.
If the person behind her wasn't eyeing her covetously, why would she pretend to be pitiful and lure the enemy out of the cave?
He Zheng lowered his eyes and frowned, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes.
Xie Qingyao took a deep breath and opened her arms to hug him, but He Zheng grabbed her shoulders.
He Zheng: "The robe is covered in blood, it's dirty."
Xie Qingyao was stunned for a moment before she looked at the hem of his clothes. There was a thick, dark stain of blood.
On the contrary, what she has is really not worth mentioning.
Xie Qingyao didn't really care and said, "Then you should change quickly."
He Zheng walked out and came back after a while, wearing an indigo robe. His temperament suddenly became elegant and noble, weakening his sharp and murderous aura.
"Your Majesty, you look good in this outfit." Xie Qingyao said in a cheerful tone.
It happened that she had taken off her outer clothes and was only wearing a green inner garment.
Xie Qingyao lifted the car curtain and took a look outside. It was already late. She let out a light breath, lowered the curtain, and lay down on the cushion behind her.
He Zheng went over and lay down next to her. "It's windy at night, don't catch a cold."
As he spoke, he stretched out his long arm and pulled the person into his arms.
Xie Qingyao smiled, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rubbed him gently in a delicate and sticky manner.
The hostility in He Zheng's eyes had completely disappeared, and his fingertips behind her gently lifted her hair.
Outside.
Mo Zhu leaned against the tree trunk, took out a tinder from his arms and lit a fire.
Shuangyue and Xifeng also sat around.
The blazing fire warmed up the three of them.
Mo Zhu picked up the handkerchief and wiped the sword with an expressionless face.
Xi Feng said, "You were really into it tonight, your shouting was so realistic, it almost scared me."
Mo Zhu blinked her long eyelashes and whispered, "It was Madam's idea. Madam is really unexpected. She looks a bit weak and without any edge, which makes people completely unprepared. But unexpectedly, she is very clever and smart."
“…”Xi Feng was a little surprised.
It's rare to hear her talk so much.
Mozhu has always been taciturn.
Shimotsuki nodded in agreement. "Madam has already made various plans and devised countermeasures for every possible situation."
"Madam had everyone take Baiduqing in advance, so the guard who was shot by the poisoned arrow tonight was able to save his life. He just needs to recuperate."
"Also, Madam has improved the smoke bombs, mixing them with a small amount of Ecstasy. When we engage the assassins, we cover our mouths and noses with masks and throw the smoke bombs at the enemy formation first, effectively weakening their combat effectiveness."
Hearing this, Xi Feng's eyes flashed and a feeling of respect surged in his heart.
Sincerity is rewarded with sincerity. If the lady is like this, how could the people below not be sincere and try their best to protect her?
Xi Feng was at a loss for words and could only say, "Madam is so kind!"
Before, Mo Zhu and Shuang Yue were only ordered to protect Xie Qingyao, but now after experiencing all this, they are truly loyal to her and wholeheartedly convinced.
The three chatted for a while and took turns to keep watch.
At daybreak, the group continued on their journey until they arrived at Huaicheng. They went into the city and found an inn to rest.
It rains a lot in Huaicheng, and the raindrops make a crisp sound when they fall on the ground.
He Zheng sent most of the secret guards back to Shangjing, leaving only a few in plain clothes to enter the city in batches and hide in the dark.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn.
He Zheng got off the carriage first and held up an umbrella. Xie Qingyao lifted the curtain, only sticking half of her body out, and asked He Zheng to hold her in one arm and get off the carriage.
The two of them were covered under the umbrella, and the raindrops hit the umbrella surface, but not a drop fell on Xie Qingyao.
Xie Linqian, who had come with an umbrella, stopped dead in his tracks when he saw this. He knew that with He Zheng there, there was no place for him to use his skills.
A smile appeared on his warm face, and he turned to Xie Yuchuan and said, "Come in."
Xie Qingyao looked at the rain soaking He Zheng's shoulders and whispered, "Hurry, hurry up."
After days of traveling, the road was bumpy and we had to be on guard against enemy attacks. Now we can finally rest in the inn.
Xie Qingyao quickly asked someone to fetch hot water and immersed her body in the wooden barrel. All her restlessness and tiredness disappeared in an instant, and she felt relaxed.
It wasn't until she saw her figure reflected in the water that Xie Qingyao's face changed slightly and she held her breath.
Xie Qingyao turned around, blushing, "My Lord, why don't you go out first?"
He Zheng responded: "Can you do it by yourself?"
“…”Of course!
She glanced at He Zheng's face and said hurriedly, "My Lord, please let Zhitao and the others in."
He Zheng lowered his eyes and glanced at her, then nodded softly.
When Xie Qingyao thought he was about to leave, He Zheng leaned over to her and said, "Yaoyao, give me a kiss, and I'll let them come over to serve you."
No, is it still possible?
Xie Qingyao's eyelashes trembled slightly. She put her hands on his shoulders and tilted her head back to kiss his lips.
Then she pecked his chin again.
When she finished kissing him, she saw that the other person's eyes were already dark and turbulent.
ah.
Xie Qingyao turned around and went back into the water. "You better get out now. I need to take a shower. The water will be cold soon."
Seeing the panic on the back of her head, He Zheng chuckled silently, turned around and called the maids in.
…
On the other hand, the group of assassins who had been instigated returned to their respective masters to report.
But their answers were the same: they succeeded, but Xie Qingyao died.
Prince Kang's Palace.
After hearing his subordinates report that the Qiao family had successfully assassinated Xie Qingyao, Prince Kang stood up from his chair, paused, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
He didn't say anything, but just tilted his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The staff member hesitated and said, "What is your Highness Prince Kang worried about? Those pawns of the Qiao family are almost all broken, but they are of no great use to begin with. Sacrificing them in exchange for Xie Qingyao's death is well worth it."
Prince Kang lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I'm thinking this is going a little too smoothly. It's so smooth it's hard to believe."
The staff slowly raised their heads and said, "Your Highness, Xie Qingyao is just a woman, she is powerless, even if she has some cleverness, it will be of no use."
"Besides, on the way to Runan, there weren't only assassins arranged by His Highness. Other forces also wanted to take her life. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't escape the repeated attacks."
A smile finally appeared on King Kang's cold face.
"I hope so."
"Those who came back alive, clean them all up and don't let anyone find out about this."
Staff: "Yes, sir!"
He had always been the one in contact with the Qiao family, so if anything happened, it would be his fault.
"Cough, cough, cough." King Kang coughed a few times and put one hand behind his back.
"Xie Qingyao, don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your surname Xie for blocking my way together with Marquis Anguo."
