Chapter 279 No Survivors Required
"Third, he jumped into the fire pit even though he knew it was a pit of fire. This is precisely because he doesn't covet the power and wealth you talk about. Otherwise, he could just change his mind and join the Crown Prince's side. The Crown Prince would have woken up laughing in his dreams!"
Qin Qingyao's extremely confident words made Murong Ce very uneasy. No matter what Dugu Yu did, could Qin Qingyao always find an excuse for him?
"Where in this world is there such a perfect person? You are just deceiving yourself!"
"Deceiving oneself is also an art of life. You also said that there is no perfect person in the world, so is Dugu Yu's imperfection wrong?"
Murong Ce, "..."
"Seriously, has Duguyu ever offended you? Why are you always trying to sow discord between us and our husband and wife?"
"How could I cause discord between you and your wife?"
"So what are you doing?"
"I just can't stand the fact that Dugu Yu gets things so easily that others can't. I just feel that his efforts don't deserve your love at all!"
"So you want to torture him, make him suffer and live again and again to prove that he loves me? How can you be more lenient than my father?!"
"Murong Ce, please find a wife as soon as possible, okay? If you don't want to get married, you can just find a girl to date! When you find someone you like, or when someone likes you, you'll realize how ridiculous this 'deliberate proof' is."
"For many things, the other party doesn't even need to say it out loud. You can understand whether he truly loves you and cares about you. I know better than anyone else in this world that Dugu Yu loves me. He only loves me."
"Everything in this world requires proof from others for one reason only, and that's because you don't trust them. Murong Ce, I know you don't want to hurt me. I know you're still my and Dugu Yu's friend, so please send me home right now!"
Murong Ce didn't move, but listened attentively with his ears perked up. Qin Qingyao was so angry that she was about to turn around and leave, but he suddenly reached out, put one hand around Qin Qingyao's waist, covered her mouth with the other hand, and dragged her to the back of the house.
"Don't talk, someone's coming!"
Qin Qingyao became even more excited when she heard this. It must be Dugu Yu coming to see her!
Seeing her excited look, Murong Ce knew without asking that she was overthinking, "They are not Dugu Yu's people. There is no need to be sneaky about his people."
Qin Qingyao didn't hear any movement. She really suspected that Murong Ce was lying to her again. Just as she was about to kick him in the face, a sharp arrow shot past her and hit a bamboo tree.
Qin Qingyao instantly became quiet and stopped struggling. She now believed that this was not Dugu Yu's person...
Murong Ce let her go, pulled Qin Qingyao into the bamboo house through the back window, and then quickly closed the doors and windows.
Qin Qingyao strongly disagreed with this, "Hey, aren't we now stuck with nowhere to go?"
If you lock yourself in the house, won't you be like a turtle in a jar, waiting to die?
Murong Ce remained calm. While searching for something to defend himself in the house, he smiled and said, "Neither you nor I know martial arts. We can't escape without hiding."
Qin Qingyao, "..."
"Don't you believe in Dugu Yu? Then what are you afraid of? He will come to save you."
"Murong Ce, are you being unreasonable? Dugu Yu isn't a god, how could he just drop down from the sky? It would take him time to find me!"
"The people chasing you have been found, but he hasn't arrived yet. What excuses do you have for him?"
"I..." Qin Qingyao really wanted to tear open Murong Ce's head to see what his brain looked like. Why was his thinking so extreme and he loved to argue?
A lot of people were coming in and out of the bamboo house. Qin Qingyao knew that there must be a lot of people coming without Murong Ce reminding her.
"Murong Ce, how do you know that the people outside are definitely here to hunt me down? Are they related to you?"
Murong Ce, "Are you doubting me?"
"Does it matter whether I doubt it or not? Those people just attacked without any regard for your life or death. You were used and then discarded, you idiot!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the prince to have the courage to do this." He sent people to hunt down Qin Qingyao without his permission, and even killed him together. This meant that the prince no longer needed his help.
Does this mean that Lin Xiafeng's evidence worked, and Prince Duan is finished, so the Crown Prince thinks that he can rest assured and have smooth sailing in the future?
"Haha, the speed with which he turned his back on his friend and the ruthlessness of his men are truly impressive!"
"What's wrong with you? You're still in the mood to praise him at this time?"
As Qin Qingyao finished speaking, there were suddenly several bangs above their heads, as if something had wedged into the ceiling, and then the entire roof shattered into pieces.
Qin Qingyao didn't close her eyes in time, blinded by the dust. Murong Ce tackled her and she rolled against the wall. As soon as she regained her sight, she saw a man in black leap from outside the house, sword in hand, stabbing directly at them.
At this time, Murong Ce was still protecting her. She had no time to think and reached out to push Murong Ce away, otherwise they would both die and be stabbed into pieces!
Seeing that the tip of the man's sword was about to pierce Murong Ce's back, Qin Qingyao was so scared that she closed her eyes for a moment, but the expected pain did not appear. Qin Qingyao heard a wailing sound that came from far away, and then her body felt lighter.
Before I could open my eyes, someone pulled me up and put me into a big, warm embrace.
"No need for a live person."
"yes!"
Qin Qingyao, covered in dust, was held in Dugu Yu's arms. He did not continue to participate in the fight, but pressed Qin Qingyao's head against his chest to prevent her from seeing the chaotic scene behind her, and then flew away with her in his arms.
Qin Qingyao lay in Dugu Yu's arms, completely stunned, as if she hadn't figured out whether this was reality or just a fantasy before her death. Could it really be so timely? Did someone really just plop down from the sky to save her?
"husband?"
Dugu Yu just carried her and ran all the way, ignoring her. Qin Qingyao reached out and poked him in the chest, "Husband?"
"Your Majesty?"
"Xiao Yuyu?"
"Shut up!"
After Dugu Yu told her to shut up, Qin Qingyao suddenly hugged Dugu Yu's neck and started crying.
Dugu Yu, “…”
He took Qin Qingyao to a small river and helped her clean her dirty cat-like face. The last time he found her in the mountains, she looked in a very miserable state.
Dugu Yu also carefully examined her neck, and fortunately there was no allergy this time.
"Why are you crying?"
"I'm scared."
She had almost died just now, how could she not be afraid? But even though she was scared half to death, she still forced herself to remain calm. Only when she was sure that Dugu Yu had come to save her did she dare to relax and cry uncontrollably.
Dugu Yu was both angry and distressed. He wanted to put on a stern face and teach her a lesson, but she was so upset by his crying that he couldn't say anything harsh.
"Okay, don't be afraid, I'm here, right?"
Only then did Qin Qingyao notice Dugu Yu's thick stubble and bloodshot eyes. In order to find her, he might not have rested for a whole day and night.
"I'm sorry, husband, for making you worry."
Dugu Yu sighed helplessly, "Why did you get tricked so easily?"
"He said you asked him to find me, and that you had prepared a surprise and were waiting for me outside the city."
"I do have a surprise for you, but it's not outside the city."
"Where is it?"
"at home."
"Then let's go back!"
In the bamboo forest, Zhao Jinghan led his men to kill all the twelve assassins, leaving no one alive. The prince had already left with the princess, but Military Advisor Murong was still there.
Zhao Jinghan landed in front of Murong Ce, with his sword pointed at him, not knowing what to do.
Before the prince left, he said 'no one needed alive', did that include Murong Ce?
Murong Ce wasn't afraid at all, and even smiled at Zhao Jinghan. "Commander Zhao, have you thought it through? Are you going to kill me or not?"
Although it was true that Murong Ce tricked the princess out, he had just seen that he was protecting the princess, so he should not be in the same group with those assassins.
As for how to deal with Murong Ce, it’s better to listen to their prince.
Zhao Jinghan put away his sword and ordered his men, "Retreat!"
In a blink of an eye, all that was left in the bamboo forest was a broken hut, Murong Ce, and twelve corpses lying on the ground.
Murong Ce, who had been on the battlefield for years, couldn't possibly be afraid of corpses. Not only was he not afraid, he even went up to each one and carefully searched them...
Wuling Palace
After returning home, Qin Qingyao hurriedly took a shower and changed her clothes. After washing herself clean, she ran to Dugu Yu to ask for a surprise. Then he grabbed her and pressed her on the knees and beat her until her buttocks were almost swollen.
After Qin Qingyao was beaten to the point of doubting her life, Dugu Yu went into the house and took a shower.
After coming out, someone was still sobbing and his eyes were red.
Dugu Yu extended his hand towards Qin Qingyao, "Come here."
Qin Qingyao lowered her head, not moving or looking at him.
Dugu Yu walked over and picked up Qin Qingyao like a child. "Are you hungry?"
Qin Qingyao ignored him, but in her heart she was rolling her eyes. She was almost fainting from hunger, okay? For two whole days, she had only eaten some porridge and vegetables in the morning!
But don’t think that one meal can make me forget that you just abused me!
Being carried by Dugu Yu to the restaurant, the servants along the way were no longer surprised by the shameless behavior of their two masters.
However, the scene of the prince's rage yesterday was still fresh in their minds, so when they saw them coming, the servants scattered like birds and beasts, and no one dared to cover their mouths and laugh behind them as they did before.
Qin Qingyao decided to fight the domestic violence incident to the end. If she can't beat you, she will use the cold violence! Don't even think about me talking to you for three to five days!
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, she slipped out of Dugu Yu's arms and said, "Wow~ What a big crab! Where did you get it?"
On the table was an extra-large blue crab, a huge lobster that took up half of the table, and a conch that was almost as big as her head!
There is no sea in Zhaoling Country!
