"not good!"
Jing Zhe suddenly slapped his thigh and ran away.
"Zhe'er, what are you going to do?"
Lu Li quickly grabbed him.
"Big sister, Qianqian is still in the city, I have to go save her!"
Qiu Qianqian stayed in Tongtianque to inform him of things, which led to her being discovered by the Qingyang Sect Leader and injured.
Both the Qingyang Sect Leader and the Prince of Jin harbored deep hatred for those who were in their group. If it weren't for the fact that they wanted to use Qiu Qianqian to deplete his inner strength, they would have killed her long ago!
Now that Ruzhou has fallen, if Qiu Qianqian is captured, she will surely be in grave danger! How could he sit idly by?
He tried to break free from Lu Li's grasp, but Lu Li's grip was strong, and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free. Jing Zhe became anxious.
"Big sister, don't pull me back!"
Lu Li glanced at him and said leisurely, "Did I tell you that Ruzhou City has been captured by them?"
"..."
Lu Li definitely didn't say that, but...
Jing Zhe was taken aback and immediately asked, "Big sister, do you mean they didn't attack Ruzhou? That...that's impossible!"
Jing Zhe found it strange. If it was a rebellion, then the rebels should have captured all the cities they passed through. The Prince of Jin was just passing through.
At this moment, Lu Li continued, "I don't know why, but after they injured you, they continued eastward toward Jingzhou. Perhaps the Prince of Jin was even more eager to take Jingzhou!"
After saying that, she glanced at him and said, "You keep calling her Qianqian, it seems you're quite familiar with this demoness from Tongtianque!"
"..."
Jing Zhe scratched his head. Although Lu Li was his older sister, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard her call Qiu Qianqian a "witch".
"Elder sister, Qianqian is not some kind of witch! She couldn't choose her own birth, which is why she became a disciple of Tongtianque. But she didn't support Prince Jin and the others' rebellion, so she hid there to inform me. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been injured!"
"..."
Lu Li opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she closed it.
...
Although the Prince of Jin did not conquer Ruzhou, Jing Zhe was still somewhat worried about Qiu Qianqian, so he returned to the city with Lu Li.
At this moment, Ruzhou City seemed to have returned to its previous liveliness. The common people were not clear about the Prince of Jin's rebellion. When they first heard the news, they were all terrified. But now they heard that the rebel army led by the Prince of Jin had left directly, which made them believe the government's previous announcement even more. It seemed that this rebellion had little to do with them!
The Wang family rice shop finally couldn't hold out any longer—these rebels were clearly just bluffing; they wouldn't actually enter the city. They just ran away! So they started lowering prices, but even with the price reductions, the people of Ruzhou weren't buying. The Wang family rice shop had no choice but to sell rice to other grain shops at even lower prices to cut their losses.
Everything went much as Jing Zhe had predicted.
Jing Zhe entered the city and went directly to the government office.
At this moment, Qiu Qianqian had regained consciousness and was preparing to leave. She was still wearing the same clothes as before, which showed how anxious she was.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Jing Zhe enter. Qiu Qianqian immediately ran up to him, her eyes brimming with tears: "Husband..."
Compared to other women, Qiu Qianqian is probably the least bound by worldly constraints and the most daring. In addition, she is currently very excited, so she blurted out "husband".
"Qianqian, you're awake."
Seeing Qiu Qianqian wake up, Jing Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, I was wrong!"
Qiu Qianqian hugged Jing Zhe and said, crying.
Actually, she was already conscious when Jing Zhe channeled his internal energy into her the day before yesterday. However, the Qingyang Sect Leader used a lot of internal energy when he broke her meridians, so she couldn't wake up no matter what.
When she was fully awake, she asked Yu Li and learned that Jing Zhe had gone out of the city to meet the enemy a day earlier. Only then did she realize that the reason why the Qingyang Sect Leader did not kill her and allowed her to hold on until she saw Jing Zhe was all a calculated move!
The purpose was to deplete Jing Zhe's internal energy!
She felt extremely guilty, believing that Jing Zhe must have exhausted a lot of his internal energy on her, which was why he was no match for Prince Jin and the Qingyang Sect Leader. She feared that he had already met with misfortune.
So she immediately ran outside and happened to run into Jing Zhe, who had just returned. How could she hide her excitement?
Of course, besides being excited, Qiu Qianqian also felt extremely guilty when she thought that Jing Zhe had almost met with misfortune because of her.
Jing Zhe gently patted her shoulder and comforted her with a smile: "Qianqian, don't blame yourself. Su Muyu is really too insidious. I'm just grateful that you're safe. This isn't your fault. In the end, I shouldn't have let you stay in Tongtianque."
"..."
Although she still felt guilty, Qiu Qianqian was already very happy to hear Jing Zhe say that. However, at this moment, Qiu Qianqian noticed something was wrong, because she always felt a cold gaze on her from the other side. She quickly looked and found a woman behind Jing Zhe with a cold expression, but whose beauty was no less than her own.
Although Qiu Qianqian was bold, she still unconsciously lost her nerve when she met this woman's gaze. She let go of Jing Zhe and then secretly gave him a look, as if asking him who this woman was.
Jing Zhe turned around and smiled, "Let me introduce you. Qianqian, this is the eldest sister. Eldest sister, this is Qianqian."
"Big sister..."
Upon hearing Lu Li's identity, Qiu Qianqian suddenly realized why she had felt somewhat afraid when they first met. She had also heard of Lu Li before and greatly admired this woman who could control the entire Mangshan Mountain by herself.
"Um."
Lu Li had a very bad impression of Qiu Qianqian because Qiu Qianqian was a disciple of Tongtianque, and Jing Zhe almost lost his life because of her. The most important point was that Jing Zhe was close to women other than her sisters, which made her feel very uncomfortable, so her expression was naturally unpleasant.
Of course, although she wasn't very happy, as the eldest sister, she still gave a sullen reply as a way of saying hello.
However, this made Qiu Qianqian even more nervous. Compared to her third sister Qingqiu and fourth sister Pei Yunxi, whom she had met before, Lu Li was undoubtedly more difficult to get along with and gave off a stronger sense of pressure.
Then no one spoke, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
"President Jing!"
At that moment, Yu Li's voice came over, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
"Governor Yu!"
Jing Zhe turned around and saw that Yu Li, who had been running all the way, was pale-faced and had almost fallen twice.
"Governor Yu, slow down!"
Jing Zhe helped him up and said.
"President Jing, something terrible has happened!"
After saying this, Yu Li, a man in his forties or fifties, suddenly burst into tears, sobbing, "Your Majesty...His Majesty has passed away!"
"..."
