Chapter 166 Eyes
The shop that Lin Hao often goes to is located at the entrance of the alley. Although the shop is small, the various snacks taste exceptionally good.
The carriage stopped by the roadside. She walked over with Baozhu and saw a queue outside the door.
"Miss, please wait here. I will go and queue up."
Lin Hao nodded and stood aside thinking about the headless female corpse.
The headless female corpse happened in Tianyuan Temple, which was frequented by wealthy people. The impact was undoubtedly very bad. Apart from the upcoming Yu Liu Messenger, the next topic people would talk about would probably be this matter.
Lin Hao is not optimistic about identifying the female corpse.
He's been dead for so long and his head is missing, so it's hard to leave any clues.
When I think about it this way, I can’t help but sigh.
She cast her eyes on the people chatting in line. The leisurely and lively atmosphere made her collect her thoughts and feel a little relaxed.
At this moment, the neighing of a horse sounded, sudden and shrill.
People looked over subconsciously and their expressions changed.
"Oh no, the horse is frightened!"
Lin Hao's expression also changed.
The frightened horse belongs to her!
The horse, with its front hooves raised high, soon broke into a gallop, carrying away the driver who was trying hard to control it.
"Girl!" Baozhu rushed to Lin Hao.
Naturally, he didn't bother to buy snacks. Lin Hao took Baozhu and rushed in the direction of the galloping horse.
A frightened horse running wildly on the street could easily hit someone, and might even cause a fatality. Lin Hao's heart was in his throat, and he walked faster and faster.
But suddenly a strange feeling arose in her heart.
Perhaps it was an inexplicable intuition, but she quickly glanced in a certain direction.
This glance was like a heavy hammer hitting my heart.
Du Qing!
Lin Hao reacted instantly: Du Qing became suspicious of her and came to cause trouble for her.
The attention of the people on the street was attracted by the frightened horse. Some were chasing it, some were talking loudly, and screams were heard from time to time. It was as noisy as a vegetable market.
Given the distance between her and Du Qing, she could only shout twice at most before someone approached her. In such a chaotic situation, it would be difficult to attract other people's attention if she cried for help.
Even if someone noticed him, that person would have to be kind-hearted and better than Du Qing in martial arts. The thought of that made him despair.
Lin Hao never puts his hopes on illusory luck.
"Orb—"
Lin Hao was confident that no matter how chaotic the situation was, Baozhu would be able to hear her shouts.
As expected, Baozhu, who was concentrating on chasing the frightened horse, turned her head and said in a puzzled voice, "Girl?"
"Go find Prince Jing!" Lin Hao hurriedly instructed and ran in one direction.
Coincidentally, this place was not far from the restaurant she and Prince Jing opened together. She couldn't beat Du Qing, but she still had a chance if she ran. As long as she could run into the restaurant, she could always hold on for a while.
Lin Hao's first reaction was to ask Qi Shuo for help, because she believed that with his intelligence, he could guess where she had escaped to.
In her opinion, even if Prince Jing couldn't beat Du Qing, he still had his subordinates.
Baozhu was stunned for a moment, then saw a man chasing after Lin Hao.
Her expression changed drastically: "Girl!"
The girl didn't look back after hearing the anxious cry, but ran even faster.
Baozhu subconsciously raised her foot to chase after him, but stopped abruptly after running two steps.
There must be a reason why the girl asked her to find Prince Jing. If she blindly chases him, it might end up hurting the girl!
Baozhu turned around and ran, crying as she ran.
Miss, you must wait for me to bring Prince Jing here!
Lin Hao rushed into an alley.
The alley is long and narrow. Compared to the brightness on the street, it suddenly becomes dim, as if they are two different worlds.
Going through the alley would shorten the distance to the restaurant a lot, so Lin Hao had no choice but to take this shortcut.
There were hurried but steady footsteps behind him, and the light ahead was getting closer and closer. But at this moment, an accident happened. Lin Hao slipped and fell to the ground.
There was a broken small jar at her feet, and she had just slipped on it.
Lin Hao turned his head to look.
In the dim alley, Du Qing's face looked blurry.
Fear was like a cold current, rushing through every part of my body.
Lin Hao knew very well that Du Qing was not the one who took her life in her previous life, but this scene was so similar that she felt as if she was back on the street in the deep snow at night.
The only difference is that the masked man who has confused her until now will not appear.
Lin Hao's thoughts raced through his mind in an instant, when he suddenly heard another sound of footsteps.
She saw Du Qing raise his eyes, and his gaze passed over her and fell in front of him.
Lin Hao subconsciously turned around and saw a man striding towards the direction she had just run towards.
The figure was tall and straight. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, Lin Hao recognized it as Qi Shuo at a glance.
But when he got closer and saw his handsome features, Lin Hao felt that the familiar face became strange again.
Why did Prince Jing come so quickly?
How could it be Prince Jing?
Chaotic thoughts flooded her mind, causing her to forget to react for a moment until the sound of fighting began.
That was the sound of metal colliding with stone.
Du Qing held a dagger, and Qi Shuo also held a dagger, which was the most convenient killing weapon to hide.
Lin Hao never thought that Prince Jing would not be at a disadvantage in a fight with Du Qing.
Is this really the Prince Jing that she knows?
No, did she really know Prince Jing?
Lin Hao felt a piercing pain in his ankle, but he still stood up slowly by holding on to the wall.
The wall was cold and hard, which actually brought her back to her senses.
Now is not the time to think about these things.
Lin Hao stared intently at the two people fighting, trying to judge the outcome.
If Prince Jing was at a disadvantage, she would run away without hesitation and find someone.
Lin Hao had practiced seriously with General Lin. Compared with masters like Du Qing, his skills were only average, but his eyesight was good.
After observing for a moment, she felt a little relieved.
Prince Jing has the upper hand.
Prince Jing actually has the upper hand!
Lin Hao held onto the wall and slowly moved forward.
Since Prince Jing has the upper hand, she can walk slower.
A voice came from the front: "Prince!"
Qi Shuo swung out his dagger and shouted coldly: "Don't interfere."
The guard standing at the entrance of the alley stopped moving.
Lin Hao was completely relieved and decided not to leave.
Even if you have the upper hand, accidents may still happen. With the guards around, you don't have to worry.
She turned her attention back to the two men fighting.
The winner was decided between the two at this moment.
Qi Shuo held the dagger across Du Qing's neck and said in a cold voice, "Why are you chasing her?"
Du Qing glanced at Lin Hao. The intense fight had made his voice a little hoarse. "It was just a stop on the way. The girl misunderstood."
Qi Shuo also looked at Lin Hao.
He knew that Lin Hao felt a little differently about this person.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hao didn't look at Du Qing, but stared at him closely.
Qi Shuo noticed something was wrong and said loudly, "Xuan Yi, take the person away first."
Soon a young guard came and took away the restrained Du Qing.
Qi Shuo looked at the stunned girl and asked, "What's wrong?"
After a brief yet long pause, Lin Hao stretched out her trembling hand and gently covered Qi Shuo's eyes.
