Chapter 121 Pregnancy 4 Boss, aren’t you going to meet the princess?
Bai Jinan recognized the man in black who stabbed him at a glance. Wasn't that Xie Wuhen, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?
During the years he had been dormant in Liang State, he had already gotten to know the important officials in the court very well.
He retreated hastily, avoiding the long sword that was thrust at him, but the opponent's sword energy was so sharp and each move was fatal that he was forced to retreat step by step without any plan.
He has always prided himself on his martial arts prowess, but today he was completely helpless in front of this young man and could only defend, not attack.
A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him, so he turned around and fled out of the cave.
Xie Wuhen followed closely behind him.
The two men, one chasing and the other fleeing, fought from inside the cave to outside.
Bai Jinan fought back while shouting, "Sir Shaoqing, I have no ill will towards you."
He added, "The girl I punished is not the legitimate daughter of the Li family. She is merely a fake made of plastic bones. Your Excellency, you should know that you have married the wrong person, right?"
Xie Wuhen gritted his teeth, turned around, and the sharp sword blade stabbed towards Bai Jinan's neck at lightning speed. Fortunately, Bai Jinan dodged it, otherwise his throat would have been pierced.
Still in shock, he said, "Master Shaoqing, your swordsmanship is excellent."
Xie Wuhen had a cold face and swung his sword again.
This time, Bai Jinan was unable to dodge and his crown was forcibly cut off. His white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, instantly covering most of his face.
The two stood on two adjacent branches, staring at each other solemnly.
Bai Jinan panted, his eyes filled with the fear of surviving a catastrophe. "I have no grudge against you, Lord Shaoqing. Why would you kill me like this?"
Xie Wuhen sneered: "Just because you can shape bones, just because you want to shape your face into the image of the current emperor, I can strangle you a thousand times."
Bai Jinan pretended to be confused: "I don't understand what the Shaoqing is saying."
Xie Wuhen's tone grew increasingly cold. "To be honest, I was able to find you so easily thanks to your twin brother, Bai Jinfu."
When Bai Jinan heard the name "Bai Jinfu", he suddenly stopped and then turned around and ran away again.
The fact that the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple could find Bai Jinfu means that he has already got hold of Bai Jinfu's past. If he doesn't run away now, when will he?
Xie Wuhen would never let him escape easily, so he quickly chased after him with his sword in hand.
Bai Jinan was already old, and he had fought with Fang Yichen before. When he met such a strong opponent like Xie Wuhen, he seemed to have difficulty even escaping. In a few moments, he was caught up by Xie Wuhen.
The two men fought in the air for several rounds.
Xie Wuhen took advantage of the opponent's negligence and swung his sword fiercely, chopping off Bai Jinan's arm.
Bai Jinan screamed in pain, and fell down the mountain stream along with the severed arm, and disappeared.
Xie Wuhen glanced down and saw that the mountain stream was silent, huge and bottomless. He had no choice but to fly back to Rongdong.
When he reached the entrance of the Rongdong Cave, he suddenly stopped.
He had seen clearly during the fight in the cave just now that the woman who fainted on the ground was Su He.
It is also his harmony.
If she woke up now, how would he face her?
He stopped for a moment, clenched his fists, and finally walked in.
Fortunately, the unconscious Su He did not wake up, and neither did the other two.
He felt guilty and uneasy about his own relief.
He thought, as long as she was safe, he still hoped she could wake up soon.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the cave was inexplicably solemn.
Although Wu Sheng did not recognize the unconscious man, he recognized the unconscious young lady and Zhang Xiuhua.
He was a little confused for a moment. Weren't they looking for the princess? How did they find the young lady?
As he hesitated, an idea suddenly struck him: could it be that the young lady was the princess? And the princess was the young lady?
Thinking of this, he suddenly paused, as if all his previous doubts and confusions were cleared up and smoothed out in an instant.
No wonder they repeatedly found the young lady suspicious when they were tracking down the princess. They even caught the young lady on the south bank of Qingshui River, but they dispelled all doubts because of her identity as the young lady.
In other words, the princess of the current dynasty impersonated Li Shuli and married into the Xie family, then successfully avenged herself by using the identity of the Shaoqing's wife, and then let the real Li Shuli return to her throne, and finally the princess escaped?
Wu Sheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
No wonder the boss has been so miserable these days. No wonder he drank to drown his sorrows after returning from the palace and asked himself if he was incompetent.
It turned out that the person they were looking for had always been in the Xie family, right under their noses.
How can anyone bear this earth-shattering truth?
Even for him, it is hard to bear!
Wu Sheng was upset for a moment and asked anxiously, "Where is the boss?"
He wanted to ask his boss in person whether all this was true.
Just then Xie Wuhen walked in.
Wu Sheng strode forward and said, "Boss... Young Madam... Is Young Madam a princess?"
Xie Wuhen ignored him, brushed past him expressionlessly, bent down, picked up the unconscious Su He, and placed him on the soft couch in the single-hole cave.
Then he ordered: "Place the other two in the nearby melting cave."
He then ordered, "I have cut off one of Bai Jin'an's arms, and he fell into the mountain stream outside the cave. Send people to search the mountain stream. If he is alive, we must find him. If he is dead, we must find his body."
Wu Sheng seemed to have no ears and pointed at Su He on the couch: "Boss, the young lady... is she..."
Xie Wuhen interrupted him harshly: "I said, there is no young lady in this world anymore."
He then said, "Quickly take people to find Bai Jinan."
Wu Sheng's ears finally returned to their original position. He murmured "yes" and turned around to search Bai Jinan.
Only he and she were left in the cave. She was unconscious, and he was watching her.
She looked like she was fast asleep, and he was most familiar with her sleeping appearance.
In the past, when he went to work every day, he would see her sleeping lazily in the quilt, and he would always leave a kiss on her forehead, very lightly, for fear of waking her up.
But today, he couldn't kiss her anymore.
She is no longer the young lady of the Xie family, she is a noble princess.
He was not qualified, nor even in the right position, to kiss her.
At this moment, he could only indulge himself in looking at her silently, silently remembering this face that he had missed for a long time.
But apart from this face, everything about her was unfamiliar.
The simple bun on her head, the coarse cloth jacket on her body, and all her clothes and daily necessities that could be seen in the cave were things he had never seen before.
They are all very simple and rough.
He wondered if she had bought this after she left. Had she deliberately dressed herself up as a country girl to distance herself from her past life?
He wondered, did she really dislike her past life, or even her past him?
He thought that he really put a lot of pressure on her. She was killing people and he was chasing them. She was cautious in every step, but he was pressing on step by step.
He even thought about the night she'd killed Zhou Yuanze, jumped from the third-floor window, and hidden in that huge warehouse on the back street. He must have frightened her that night, right?
She is good at using poisons, so she was able to successfully poison Wu Sheng and escape, so when Zhang Qianer poisoned her mother, she could tell at a glance that it was datura pollen.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret his stupidity again.
Everything stemmed from his carelessness and stupidity.
His eyes were red as he murmured to the unconscious woman, "You were so powerful, weren't you? How did you end up like this?"
He added, "You always act docile and respectable in front of me, but I never thought you could be so embarrassed."
He sighed, carefully helped her sit up, lifted his clothes and sat behind her, then supported her back with both palms and injected her with true energy to protect her body.
Just as Xie Wuhen was inputting true energy into Su He, Bai Jinan, who had fallen into the mountain stream, was also rushing left and right along the mountain stream, floating forward rapidly.
Fortunately, he escaped the search of the Dali Temple officials and landed in a quiet river bay.
Having lost an arm and with blood gushing out, he was in such unbearable pain that he could hardly stand and could only crawl on the grass to catch his breath.
Not only did he feel pain physically, but he also felt pain in his heart.
In just one day, he not only lost his grandson, but also his arm. Not only did his years of planning go down the drain, but he would never be able to reshape his bones again, and would never be able to use the Withered Bone Palm again.
He was so sad and angry that tears streamed down his face.
Just when he was isolated and helpless, two secret guards in tight clothes suddenly appeared.
One of the secret guards asked, "Are you Bai Jinan?"
Bai Jinan glanced at them twice. At first, he was on guard, but then he thought that there was nothing to be defensive about in this desperate situation, so he nodded with difficulty: "This old man... is exactly."
The secret guard revealed his identity: "We are from Changle Palace."
Bai Jinan felt relieved: "Madam Shufei...it turns out to be Madam Shufei. I am saved."
Another secret guard glanced warily at Bai Jin'an's severed arm, pulled his companion aside, and whispered, "This man has already lost an arm. I'm afraid bringing him back won't be of any use."
The secret guard replied: "Take him back first. If he is useless, it won't be too late to kill him then."
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Then the two secret guards simply bandaged Bai Jinan's wounds and carried him away from Fuzi Mountain.
Wu Sheng and a group of people searched the mountain stream for a long time, but still found no trace of Bai Jinan.
Seeing dusk approaching, he had no choice but to return empty-handed. "Boss, according to my humble guess, Bai Jinan has most likely escaped."
Xie Wuhen sat on the rocks outside the melting cave, looking up at the gloomy sky. "He lost an arm, so he probably can't use any bone-shaping skills anymore. So, he won't be able to make much of a splash. Let him go."
Wu Sheng asked again: "Young Master..." He immediately changed the subject: "Is the princess still awake?"
He replied, “No.”
"Won't it be a hindrance?"
He replied, "No problem, she was just startled by Bai Jinan's palm wind. I have already injected her with true Qi to protect her body."
Wu Sheng tried to remind them, "The man in Rongdong over there seems to be seriously injured. Should we send him down the mountain for treatment? We're worried that if he dies...it would be hard to explain to the princess."
Xie Wuhen's expression suddenly turned cold, and he replied in a deep voice, "What does his life or death have to do with the princess, and what does it have to do with us?"
Finally, he said, "He only suffered minor injuries and his life is not in danger."
Wu Sheng nodded and said "yes".
Su He woke up that night.
At that time, Wu Sheng was on duty outside the cave. When he saw her wake up, he looked happy. He paused, but didn't know what to call her. He couldn't call her "Young Madam" or "Princess".
He could only say, "I'm glad you're awake." Then he turned around to report to his master.
The moment Su He saw Wu Sheng, she paused and felt like the sky was falling.
At that moment, she would rather die at the hands of Bai Jinan than face Xie Wuhen.
She felt her own cowardice and her own fear.
She was clearly not afraid of death, so why was she afraid of Xie Wuhen? She couldn't explain it.
At this time, Xie Wuhen paused when he heard Wu Sheng's report.
He was leaning against the stone door of Rongdong, looking a little dazed.
Wu Sheng asked, "Boss, aren't you going to see...the princess?"
He was silent for a moment, then replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I'll go see you right away."
