"Don't worry, even though you're annoying, I'll still give you a chance to be a good person and make your name known in history. After today, everyone in the world will know that you, Princess Wu Ling, died protecting me. How great!"
Lin Xiafeng took two steps back after he finished speaking, looked at Qin Qingyao with a smile, and ordered coldly, "Kill her!"
"Wait!" Qin Qingyao was really scared. Her palms and forehead were full of sweat. She was afraid that Wu Gang and the others would come out early, and she was also afraid that she would be beheaded before they came out.
"Since you've already decided to kill me, can you please let me know whether you were the one who killed Baiji? What do you want to do with the Yanling Army?"
"And who is that bastard who hurt my second brother? What did the Qin family do to offend you that you want to kill them all?!"
Zheng Mingxuan, "I was the one who killed your maid! As for the others, you can ask the King of Hell yourself!"
Just as he finished speaking, an angry shout rang out from outside the hut, "Then prepare to die!"
Qi Mo couldn't wait any longer when Qin Qingyao first mentioned Baiji. If Wu Gang hadn't held him back, he would have jumped out and fought to the death with Zheng Mingxuan.
So when Zheng Mingxuan confessed to his crimes, he was the first to rush out, pointing his sword at Zheng Mingxuan.
How could this dilapidated house, which had been in disrepair for a long time and had mushrooms growing on its beams and pillars, withstand the fight between eight masters? It collapsed before even two hits.
…
After Bai Zhi left, Zhao Jinghan put away the pink purse and planned to return it to her when she came back.
Two days later, the maid who was doing his laundry came to him with a purse, looking horrified. "Commander Zhao, I found this in your clothes. I thought it was empty, so I was about to wash it for you, but I found this note inside!"
The note was slightly stained with water, but the handwriting was still very clear. "The princess is in trouble. Go and help her immediately."
A thunderclap rang out in Zhao Jinghan's mind. What is Bai Zhi doing?
She certainly wouldn't dare to say anything nonsense about the princess's safety. When she gave him the purse, she told him to open it in two days. He had thought it was...
“This Baizhi!”
For such an important matter, don’t use something so misleading to announce it!
He first sent a small team of personal guards to rush to Baolin Temple to look for the princess, and then went to find Dugu Yu with the note.
Dugu Yu didn't even have time to change his clothes and went out with his sword.
Why did Bai Zhi know two days ago that Qin Qingyao would be in danger today? She didn't even let him go with her to burn incense. What is this audacious girl up to now?
The people Zhao Jinghan sent out first just met Liushuang who was riding a fast horse back, and saw that the prince and Commander Zhao had caught up with them.
"Liushuang, where is the princess?"
"The princess was kidnapped by four men in black. Their martial arts are very similar to those of the Yanling Army. Feixue is chasing them!"
Hearing this, Dugu Yu and Zhao Jinghan both thought of the murderer who killed Bai Ji, who was a member of Yan Ling’s army. If Qin Qingyao fell into their hands, how could she have a good ending!
Zhao Jinghan stretched out his hand and pulled Liushuang onto his horse. She was injured and could not ride fast or steadily by herself.
A group of people galloped on horseback. The distance that Qin Qingyao and her companions had walked for more than an hour, they arrived in just fifteen minutes.
On the mountain road, Caiwei knelt on the ground and cried uncontrollably.
Liu Shuang pointed at the mountain stream and said, "They are heading in that direction!"
Zhao Jinghan handed Liu Shuang to one of his men and said, "Take her back to heal her."
Then a group of people followed the marks left by Feixue and chased after him.
Halfway through, Feixue was seen leaning against a big tree with a seriously injured body, his face pale and covered in blood. His injuries were even more serious than Liushuang's.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Jinghan's heart sank wildly. Dugu Yu's eyes turned bloodshot in an instant, and there was a murderous aura on his body that Zhao Jinghan had not seen for a long time.
Dugu Yu, "Where's the princess? Where did they go?"
Zhao Jinghan, "Has anyone bandaged your wounds?"
"Your Highness, the princess was taken in that direction, and Wu Gang followed them. It was Wu Gang who bandaged my wound. I don't know why, but he just followed and didn't take any action!"
Feixue was furious when she thought about this. If Wu Gang had come out earlier and the three of them had joined forces, perhaps the princess would not have been abducted.
She was almost killed by those men in black, and Wu Gang watched in the dark without moving a muscle. He didn't come out until those men in black left her and walked away. Then he hurriedly bandaged her and ran away!
"Wu Gang? Isn't he in the Yanling Army?"
Feixue, "Your Highness, don't you know? The four of them have already left the Yanling Army!"
"Send her back to heal!"
After Dugu Yu gave the order, he continued to chase in the direction Feixue pointed. Along the way, there were unique signposts of their Yanling Army everywhere, which must have been left by Wu Gang.
…
Next to the mountain hut, Qin Qingyao was covered in moss, black ash and rotten wood debris.
No one knew how many years the hut had been there. The grass and wood on the roof had all rotted away. It didn't hurt much when it hit her, but it was really dirty.
There were also many microorganisms that caused her severe allergies and a layer of red bumps appeared on her neck and arms.
Wu Gang dug her out of the pile of rotten wood and joined the battle. It was four against four, and the battle was really brutal.
Dugu Yu was a generous man who always picked out the best for others. These eight carefully selected people not only had first-class abilities in lurking, reconnaissance, and concealment, but their martial arts were also definitely the best among his personal guards.
When the battle was over, six of the eight people were lying on the ground, but Lin Xiafeng had already slipped away before the hut collapsed. She walked so neatly!
Qi Mo struggled to hold on and tied the rope he had untied from Qin Qingyao to Zheng Mingxuan, who was also covered in blood. Then he sat down on the ground and grinned at Qin Qingyao.
"Don't be afraid, Princess. Everything is fine now. I told you that the four of us are definitely better than them. So, I wasn't bragging, was I?"
Qin Qingyao knew that Qi Mo was trying to comfort her, but she was in no mood to joke.
She had thought of everything, except what to do when they were all injured and unable to move. How would she get the four of them down the mountain? How would she save them?
Knowing how powerful Zheng Mingxuan and the other three were, how could she ignore that Wu Gang and the others were just flesh and blood? She deserved to die!
She gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold back her tears, but when she saw the wounds with torn flesh and even exposed bones, tears still flowed down her face, and her eyes were red and swollen.
She didn't know how to heal wounds, nor did she know any herbs that could stop bleeding, so she could only tear off the hem of her clean inner skirt and help them tie up their arms and thighs to stop the bleeding.
In this deep forest, there was no response from heaven or earth. What should she do...
When she was the last one to bandage Wu Cheng, she found that he was motionless and didn't even cry out in pain or breathe.
At that moment, she was so scared that she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, "Wu Cheng, wake up, Wu Cheng!"
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm sorry..."
Qin Qingyao really hated herself now. Why didn't she arrange someone to rescue them?
"Wucheng!" Qin Qingyao kept patting his face, trying to bring back some of his consciousness.
Seeing the princess crying, Qi Mo wanted to say a few words to comfort her, but when he opened his mouth, he no longer had the strength to make a sound. Before he fainted, he seemed to see their prince in his blurry vision...
…
Wuling Palace
There was no need for Dugu Yu to teach her a lesson, Qin Qingyao was already blaming herself too much.
If Zhao Jinghan hadn't brought many people with him and was able to carry those four people back, they would have had to wait for death.
In the study, Dugu Yu sat behind the desk with an expressionless face. Qin Qingyao stood in front of him with her head lowered, fiddling with her fingers nervously, like a primary school student being criticized by her head teacher.
"Do you know you're wrong?"
"knew."
"What's wrong?"
"I should have considered it more comprehensively. I should have foreseen that this was a dangerous matter and made follow-up preparations to find good people to rescue them."
Dugu Yu was so angry at her that he vomited blood. She was indeed reflecting on herself seriously, but don’t you really think that she was reflecting in the wrong direction?
This shouldn't have happened! You even dared to use yourself as bait. How audacious!
The more Dugu Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. He reached out and picked up the book in front of him, raised it to his ear and made a gesture as if he was going to throw it at someone.
"Ah, don't hit me!" Qin Qingyao was so scared that she closed her eyes and screamed, raising her hands to protect her face as if reflexively.
Dugu Yu’s mood is really hard to describe. If I were willing to hit you, I would have waited until now!
He put down the book and said, "I won't hit you. Come here."
"I don't."
"What did you say?" Qin Qingyao's refusal to get close to Dugu Yu made his voice rise eight octaves. However, seeing Qin Qingyao's cowardly look that didn't even dare to look at him, he began to reflect on whether he was too fierce.
Then he took two deep breaths and said in a gentle voice, as if coaxing a child, "Come here, I won't hit you."
Qin Qingyao slowly moved over, and when she was still an arm's length away, Dugu Yu pulled her into his arms, "Let me see your neck."
A night had passed, but there were still some red bumps on the allergic area of her neck that had not gone away, and many of them were scratched and had scars.
"Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Did you apply the medicine today?"
"Yeah, I've applied the medicine, and it doesn't itch anymore."
Dugu Yu sighed helplessly, "I don't mean to blame you, I just hope you won't put yourself in such a dangerous situation next time."
"Since you knew they only listened to Lin Xiafeng, you should have told me directly. Why did you transfer them to your side?"
Dugu Yu became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his voice rising unconsciously. Then, seeing Qin Qingyao leaning back out of fear at his words, he softened back.
"Don't do this again, okay?"
