Chapter 21 Blessing or Curse?
The people behind him suddenly stood up, drew their daggers and attacked Jiang Li'an.
Jiang Li'an stood alone with a sword across his body, his eyes firm and determined, not flinching at all, looking like a lone man blocking the way for ten thousand.
One of the thieves was agile and raised his hand to stab when he got close. As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Jiang Li'an held a three-foot-long green sword in his hand and hit the thief's wrist with one move. The thief's arm felt numb and the dagger slipped out of his hand. The man was forced to retreat.
The rest of the people arrived soon after, looking very aggressive, but Jiang Li'an remained calm.
Jiang Li'an came from the battlefield. The training in the sea of blood and corpses has made Jiang Li'an an unyielding character.
Jiang Li'an's moves were faster and more brutal than the last.
The person in front of him didn't seem to be a strange thief, but the enemy who killed his parents. Jiang Li'an fought with the strategy of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred, and finally stopped all the thieves outside the door.
As the sword was retracting, Jiang Li'an spat out a mouthful of blood, half-knelt on the ground with his sword, and gasped.
There were so many people that the sound of fighting attracted other thieves who were acting together. Jiang Li'an took a quick look and saw that the ground was almost entirely covered with corpses. He couldn't count how many thieves he had killed.
After all, this is the imperial palace, and the man must have wanted to end the battle quickly, but Jiang Li'an became a variable. The man had a gloomy face, and finally took out a dagger, approaching Jiang Li'an step by step. There were several remaining assassins behind the man, who also followed the man step by step and approached Jiang Li'an.
The man said, "I admit that you have some skills, but two fists can't beat four hands. Today, you have delayed my important matter, so I can't keep you."
Jiang Li'an touched the wound on his waist and found that all his strength had been exhausted. It was difficult for him to maintain the half-kneeling posture.
She looked at the dagger in front of her with a cold glow, and for the first time she felt reluctant to leave. This reluctance was simply because she regretted having to part with Lu Rongshi again.
So, this is a fatal disaster?
But at this moment, a sword energy came slashing down, and its power was as great as splitting mountains and opening up seas. The man could not avoid it and was taken head-on. Instantly, his left shoulder was cut off by the powerful sword energy, and the dagger flew out.
"Li'an!" Lu Rongshi's urgent tone fell into Jiang Li'an's ears. Jiang Li'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. The face of the person in front of her gradually became blurred, and she finally fainted.
The man naturally knew Lu Rongshi. He endured the severe pain and gritted his teeth, "Retreat!"
Lu Rongshi quickly stepped forward, threw himself beside Jiang Li'an, pulled her into his arms, and called out, "Li'an! Li'an! Wake up! Jiang Li'an!"
However, no matter how much she called out, Jiang Li'an remained silent. At this moment, the imperial guards, attracted by the sounds of fighting, finally arrived. Lu Rongshi shouted, "Send a physician to my chambers immediately!"
When the imperial guards saw the person in Lu Rongshi's arms, they naturally did not dare to delay and quickly informed the doctor.
Di Qing finally returned here. Seeing the scene before him, he was filled with guilt. He clenched his fist and hammered the pillar, saying in frustration, "Damn it! I actually fell for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. I've lived all these years in vain!"
Lu Rongshi was relieved to see her uncle come back. She personally carried Jiang Li'an to the bedroom and asked Di Qing to call Violet. Lu Rongshi saw the crack on Jiang Li'an's waist and felt a pain in her heart. She never wanted to experience separation again!
There was a busy period in the palace until dawn, when Jiang Li'an's condition stabilized.
The doctor and Violet came out. Lu Rongshi stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is Li An?" She had actually been waiting here all night.
Before the doctor could speak, Violet said, "Her wounds have healed, but she's still unconscious. It's up to her luck to see what happens next."
Lu Rongshi breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also worried about when Jiang Li'an would wake up. If this were the case in this lifetime...
No! Even if she never wakes up in this lifetime, I will stay with her forever! Lu Rongshi made up his mind.
The night before, Lu Rongshi had a dream. She dreamed that Jiang Li'an had her back to her and kept walking forward. No matter how she called her, she never stopped.
Lu Rongshi was awakened by the nightmare, put on his clothes and went to Jiang Li'an's residence opposite.
After knocking on the door for a long time but no one answered, Lu Rongshi's heart began to lift. She pushed open the door and looked out. The bedside lamp was still on, but there was no one there.
But at this moment, she heard the faint sound of weapons clashing. Combined with what she had learned before, that a thief wanted to kill the Fifth Prince, she thought to herself that something was wrong and flew away.
But he was still a step too late. Jiang Li'an was half-kneeling on the ground with wounds all over her body. The thief wanted to take her life. Lu Rongshi's rationality was broken at that moment. He drew out the Moye sword and raised his hand to release a sword energy with full strength, slashing it straight at the man's face.
But the man dodged and only just managed to remove the weapon from his shoulder. Lu Rongshi was so worried about Jiang Li'an's injury that he didn't even bother to catch the thief. By the time the imperial guards arrived, the thieves had already run away.
On the second day, Xue Xin learned about this matter and realized that the person who was guarding the door of her bedroom last night was actually a friend of the third princess.
Last night, Xue Xin was woken up by the sound of fighting. She looked out the window and saw a man fighting ten people alone, barely holding his own. She wanted to call for help, but found that she could not go anywhere. She was very upset, upset about her cowardice and incompetence, and that she could not help at all with the fight outside the house.
Today, I learned that she fell into a coma while protecting her, and I felt even more guilty. I would visit Jiang Li'an every day.
But she found that her third sister seemed to care about it more than herself. Every time she went there, her third sister was there, as if she had never left.
At first, I just attributed it to her concern for her friend, until one day, I caught my third sister kissing the corner of that person's mouth.
Only then did I realize that this was the kind of relationship between her and my third sister.
Emperor Qing always felt guilty for his dereliction of duty. He said goodbye to Lu Rongshi and others and returned to the Western Regions of China. He found Qi Yu.
"Hey, what wind brings you here again?" It was like this again, the voice was heard before the figure was seen.
Di Qing walked up to him, half-knelt down, and said, "Because of my mistake, Li An fell into a coma. I come here to apologize."
Qi Yu waved his hand, and a gust of wind lifted Di Qing up. Qi Yu stood up and said, "Everything is her own creation. It has nothing to do with you."
Di Qing widened his eyes and asked, "You know everything?"
Qi Yu nodded and said, "Of course."
Emperor Qing: ""
He added, "You have to help that kid. If you continue to pursue this matter, you will also be held responsible!"
Qi Yu smiled and said, "What do you mean?"
Di Qing said sternly, "If you hadn't only taught her half a sword technique, how could she be defeated by those scum?"
Qi Yu nodded thoughtfully and said, "If you put it that way, it is indeed my responsibility."
"Then you take this thing with you and put it around Li An's neck, and she will naturally be able to escape from danger."
Emperor Qing looked at it and saw that it was a jade pendant. He knew that this jade pendant was not simple, so he asked, "What is the function of this jade pendant?"
Qi Yu replied: "It can calm the mind, clear the eyes and ears, and can eliminate all poisons, and it will be even better."
"More? More of what?" Di Qing was puzzled.
Qi Yu cleared his throat awkwardly and said, "Anyway, it's really amazing. Bring it to her quickly."
Di Qing whispered, "It's inexplicable."
Then he set out to return to the land of disorder.
Qi Yu narrowed his golden eyes and said gently, "You two, this is the best I can do to help you."
Sure enough, after putting the item around Jiang Li'an's neck, Jiang Li'an regained consciousness. Lu Rongshi finally felt relieved and busied himself with helping Jiang Li'an recover.
As for the conspiracy, the clues were lost again and the person was not caught, but the relationship between the two people was strengthened.
After this incident, Lu Rongshi finally felt a sense of crisis. Problems were happening frequently between the two of them. If he didn't make his attitude clear as soon as possible, he was afraid that one day he would have no chance.
A week later, Xue Xin and Lu Rongshi had dinner together one day. On the one hand, she wanted to express her gratitude to Jiang Li'an, and on the other hand, she wanted to see what kind of person could win the heart of her third sister.
During the meal, Xue Xin was not good at drinking, so she drank tea instead of wine and thanked Jiang Li'an. The three of them chatted about everything and had a great time.
Lu Rongshi loved this kind of warm scene very much, but for some reason, he felt hotter and hotter all over, and his eyes kept glancing at the jade pendant on Jiang Li'an's chest.
He could see the cleavage halfway through the glance, and Lu Rongshi felt a little hotter.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Li'an had just recovered from a serious illness and was not suitable to drink, but Lu Rongshi drank one poison after another, his face was flushed, his eyes were blurred, and he looked like he was drunk.
Xue Xin had learned from her conversation with Jiang Li'an that he was not only a man of valiant character but also a man of profound literary talent. She felt ashamed of herself for not being as good as him. Seeing the good mood between the two, she said goodbye to Jiang Li'an and left the hall.
Jiang Li'an sighed, looked at Lu Rongshi lovingly and said, "I really can't do anything about you." He wanted to get up and hug him.
When she just touched Lu Rong's body, she suddenly retracted her hand and asked in surprise: "Why are you so hot?"
The drunk Lu Rongshi was completely different from her usual self. She acted coquettishly and said, "Li An, I'm hot~"
Jiang Li'an's heart skipped a beat. She had never seen Lu Rongshi like this before, but she was worried about her health. She asked, "Should we call a doctor?"
Lu Rongshi lay on Jiang Li'an and said, "No, I want Li'an to help me take off my clothes."
Jiang Li'an was helpless, but he didn't really take off her clothes. He just hugged her gently. She liked this warm feeling very much.
I think I wish time would stop at this moment and this warmth would last forever.
Lu Rongshi was really feeling hot and uncomfortable, so he broke free from Jiang Li'an's arms and quickly took off all his clothes, leaving only his underwear.
Then he snuggled into Jiang Li'an's arms again, like a cat, and gradually fell asleep in her arms.
Jiang Li'an's cheeks flushed red, but he managed to suppress his impulse and carried her back to the bedroom. He wanted to get up and leave, but he saw the jade pendant on his chest glowing. As he was wondering, his consciousness gradually became blurred, as if he had come to a grassland, with a stream flowing in front of him, and he felt an unprecedented pleasure.
When he came to his senses and looked carefully, he saw Lu Rongshi below him with a rosy face, as if he was still not satisfied. The two of them were only covered by a thin gauze.
The curtains were drawn beside the bed, and inside the curtains a pair of mandarin ducks were singing loudly.
