Chapter 88 Long time no see
Zhao Mingyue turned around with a stiff neck, and Xie Qinjian's face, distorted by anger, suddenly caught her eye.
Behind him, the study door was still closed.
How did he get in? And how did he hear everything she said to Zhao Zhuo?
Zhao Mingyue's mind was confused for a moment, but she quickly calmed down. She quickly reached for the rifle at her waist, took a half step back, and kept some distance from him.
Then, he shouted sternly: "Xie Qinjian, I just wanted to expose your sinister intentions to my uncle, how can it be considered a lie?"
She wanted to take the initiative and nail Xie Qinjian to the pillar of shame of betrayal, so that he could not turn over. Only then could she use Zhao Zhuo's knife to kill him.
The guards were just outside the door. Zhao Zhuo had already given the order, and he believed they would soon rush in and chop Xie Qinjian into pieces.
However, Xie Qinjian smiled strangely, "Do you think I'm really afraid of Zhao Zhuo? He's nothing to me! Originally, I wanted to be gentle with you, but I didn't expect you to play dirty with me. So don't blame me for being rude to you!"
As he spoke, he drew the sword from his waist and strode towards Zhao Mingyue.
Zhao Mingyue panicked. Why was there no movement outside? And what about Zhao Zhuo? Why didn't he react to Xie Qinjian's words at all?
She turned to look at Zhao Zhuo, but saw that his body seemed frozen, still maintaining the same gesture of clapping his hands on the table, without moving at all.
What happened? Why did Zhao Zhuo become a puppet?
Zhao Mingyue was completely confused. Seeing Xie Qinjian approaching, she pulled out her rifle and shot him in the chest.
With a loud bang, the whole house shook. The smoke cleared, but Xie Qinjian was unharmed.
Zhao Mingyue's face lost all color.
How could this happen? If it were an ordinary person, they would have been blown to pieces and collapsed on the ground. Why was Xie Qinjian not hurt at all?
Moreover, with such a loud noise, it was impossible for Zhao Yuzhang not to hear it. She should have brought the Golden Crow Guards in to check it out long ago!
Xie Qinjian dusted himself off, smiled evilly, and reached out to grab her. "Stop struggling and be my bride."
Zhao Mingyue couldn't believe it. He removed the sub-pistol with one hand and replaced it with a new one. Just as he was about to raise the gun to shoot, a hand reached out and flattened the barrel.
Then, a cold sword blade was pressed against his neck. "If you don't want to die, then be obedient!"
"What do you want to do?" Zhao Mingyue didn't dare to move.
"What? To be the princess's consort, of course!" Xie Qinjian smiled, his lips touching her ear. "Don't worry, I will serve the princess well and make you happy. Hahahaha..."
Zhao Mingyue trembled all over and glared at him with hatred. This damn man! She was definitely going to kill him!
She no longer cared about the threat of the sharp blade on her neck, clenched her fist, and punched Xie Qinjian's "ugly" face.
"Ah--!" Xie Qinjian cried out in pain. He didn't expect that Zhao Mingyue would dare to attack him. He was extremely angry.
"You still dare to attack me? I think you don't want to live anymore!" He immediately swung the sword in his hand and stabbed it into her right shoulder fiercely.
Zhao Mingyue groaned, and the clothes on her shoulders were quickly soaked with blood, but she immediately raised her left fist and hit Xie Qinjian.
This time, Xie Qinjian caught the blow with his palm. Zhao Mingyue felt as if he had hit an extremely hard stone. With a cracking sound, his joints were broken.
"It's just a tickle, come again!" Xie Qinjian smiled contemptuously, stretched out his hand to pinch her left shoulder, twisted it hard, and with a click, he removed her arm.
Zhao Mingyue’s eyes went dark, and she staggered to her knees, almost fainting.
No, I can't fall like this.
Her aunt was still waiting for her outside, Master Xue was still waiting for her to come back, and so were the Jinwu Guards. They were all waiting for her.
Tomorrow's oath-taking ceremony is their only chance.
They had been preparing for so long, she couldn't possibly collapse on the eve of the action.
Oh, and she still has a knife, she still has that precious sword that can kill with one blow, it is stuck in the secret pocket on the inside of her boot.
Zhao Mingyue endured the severe pain in her arms and used her right hand, which still had strength, to touch the edge of the boot. Her fingers trembled as she touched the hilt of the knife.
Just as he was about to exert force, he felt a sharp pain in his arm, as if his entire hand was about to be torn apart.
It was Xie Qinjian who roughly pulled her arm and carried her horizontally.
No, it’s almost there—!
Zhao Mingyue suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted in grief, anger and fear.
————
Chi Lu, who was far away in the capital, stared at the picture in the mirror with a cold expression.
"Xiao Liu, go find Xie Qinjian. Now's your chance to get rid of him."
Liu Shen'ai had already returned to Yuzhou and lived in Fuxiang Garden. When she heard this, she jumped up.
"I'm going now!"
————
Zhao Mingyue opened her eyes, and saw red gauze, red candles, and red brocade curtains, a bright red blood-like stream flowing into her eyes, making her feel cold all over.
Is this Xie Qinjian’s room?
I turned my head in confusion and realized that I was sitting on the edge of the bed, leaning against the bed railing.
She wanted to sit up straight, and subconsciously supported herself on the bed with her arms. A sharp pain came over her, and she trembled all over.
"Princess, are you awake? I was just about to change you into your wedding dress." Xie Qinjian, who was standing in front of the dressing mirror, turned and looked at her with a disgusting smile on his face.
During the time when Zhao Mingyue was unconscious, he had already changed into a bright red robe and prepared a wedding dress for Zhao Mingyue.
He planned to marry Zhao Mingyue tonight.
Anyway, one of the main tasks is to [Marry the Princess]. No matter what means he uses or what the process is, as long as he successfully marries Zhao Mingyue, the task will be completed.
Originally, in the past few days, he saw that Zhao Mingyue's attitude towards him was getting closer and closer, and he thought that their relationship would be a natural development. In the end, all of this was lied to him by Zhao Mingyue.
This has never happened before.
Is it because his level is higher and the difficulty of the task has increased? However, this does not bother him at all.
By spending some points to freeze Zhao Zhuo, you can easily take Zhao Mingyue out of his study, and when Zhao Zhuo wakes up from a sleep, he will not remember what happened at all.
It’s just that he doesn’t have many points left, and he just opened the data panel to check.
The data panel shows:
Player: Song Yu
Level: Lv5 (Maximum level is 9. You are already halfway on the road to godhood. Go conquer more novel worlds!)
Energy Points: 39953322... (Points can be exchanged for anything in the system store, but be sure not to arouse suspicion from characters in the original world, so use with caution!)
Worlds Cleared: 46 (You have successfully played 46 outstanding protagonists and won the love of thousands of readers. Please keep up the good work!)
Compared to when he first entered this world, his points were more than 10 million less.
Moreover, there is a particularly conspicuous prompt box next to it, which is marked in red.
Notice! Notice!
The player has aroused suspicion from the characters in the original world!
Zhao Mingyue: The suspicion value is 10%!
Zhao Zhuo: Suspicion value 2%
Please use your points with caution! Please use your points with caution!
Xie Qinjian simply closed the prompt box.
When the suspicion value reaches 100%, the talents in these fictional worlds will become aware and threaten the protagonist's position.
It’s only 10% now, there’s nothing to worry about.
In the past, in order to complete the mission faster, he always used points to exchange for weapons that were beyond the knowledge of the characters in the mission world, which led to many awakened people wanting to snatch the protagonist's luck and caused a lot of chaos.
If one wants to become the main god, he must maintain the stability of the mission world. The more stable these worlds run, the more points he will get and the greater power he will have.
To do this, he had to find cleaners to help him do the work and eliminate those awakened ones, which cost him more points.
This is why he conquered 46 worlds, but in the end only had 30 to 40 million points.
There's no way. I'm not very smart. I spend more than I earn, and I spend a lot of money on small things.
Xie Qinjian learned his lesson and decided to kill all those who had become suspicious of him this time, so that he wouldn't have to ask for help later.
First marry Zhao Mingyue, then kill her, and then kill Zhao Zhuo.
Thinking of this, he took the wedding dress in his hand, walked to Zhao Mingyue, bent down and looked down at her with a wicked smile, "You can't move both of your hands, it seems that I have to change your clothes."
"Bah! Get out of here!" Zhao Mingyue spat in his face and glared at him. "If you dare to touch me, I'll kill you right now!"
Xie Qinjian was furious and stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Mingyue's neck. "You really don't want to accept my toast and want to kill me. I want to see how you cry later!"
With his other hand he threw the wedding gown onto the bed and began to take off her clothes.
Zhao Mingyue's face changed instantly, she gasped for breath, and tried to struggle to push him away, but her hands were injured and she had no strength at all.
Seeing her panic, Xie Qinjian became even more excited. "You can scream as much as you want. No one will come to save you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill in his stomach. He lowered his head and saw Zhao Mingyue's bloody hand holding a dagger, stabbing it into his abdomen.
Her fingers were still trembling from the pain, and it seemed that she was about to lose her grip on the dagger.
He sneered, "How could a mere dagger possibly kill me... No, that's not right! This is impossible!"
With a snap, Xie Qinjian released his hand that was holding Zhao Mingyue's neck and fell to the ground.
There was still shock and unwillingness on his face.
Zhao Mingyue just acted out her fear. In the moment Xie Qinjian stood in front of the mirror, she had already got the dagger.
Xie Qinjian thought that her hands were injured and she couldn't use her strength, so he let down his guard against her, which allowed her to hit him with one strike.
Zhao Mingyue wiped away her tears, stood up from the bed, and looked down at Xie Qinjian's body with a cold look in her eyes. "I said I would kill you."
He turned around, took a gauze dress, cut it into strips with a knife, bit one end of the strip with his mouth, and after some difficult operation, he barely tied the wound on his shoulder.
If she continues to let the wound bleed, she will bleed to death.
After a while, Zhao Mingyue felt that her right hand had regained some strength. She endured the pain and held her left arm. She found the right position and twisted it hard. With a click, the dislocated bone was reconnected.
During her previous military training, Zhao Yuzhang had taught her how to set bones, but she didn't expect it to be so painful. She couldn't help but hiss softly, and tears came out.
Zhao Mingyue shook her arms and found that she was back to normal. She breathed a sigh of relief, but when she glanced at Xie Qinjian on the ground, her expression became serious again.
Now, what to do with this body?
Although no one knew what strange method Xie Qinjian had used to bring her from Zhao Zhuo's study, but judging from the situation, Zhao Zhuo would not touch Xie Qinjian again tonight.
Tomorrow is the oath-taking ceremony. If Xie Qinjian doesn't show up, it will definitely arouse Zhao Zhuo's suspicion.
We must keep the news of Xie Qinjian's death secret and find a place to hide his body!
Zhao Mingyue took a look at the room and found several large wooden boxes filled with clothes in the corner.
She immediately opened the lid of the box, took out the clothes, made some space, and then went to move Xie Qinjian's body.
When his fingers touched his waist, he felt something hard. He pulled it out and saw that it was the token of the commander-in-chief of the military department.
Zhao Mingyue's eyes lit up, and she immediately tore off the token and put it away.
Then he moved Xie Qinjian's body into a wooden box and stuffed it in. Then he pulled out the dagger that was stuck in his stomach, wiped off the blood, and stuffed it into his boot.
Then he put the clothes back, closed the wooden box lid, and moved two wooden boxes to put on top of it.
After doing all this, Zhao Mingyue was already sweating profusely, and the gauze tied on the wound on her right shoulder had long been soaked with blood. The dull pain made it difficult for her to breathe.
She didn't dare to delay any longer and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered the blood on the ground and quickly looked back at the floor.
Fortunately, the floor was dark in color, and only a few drops of blood fell on it. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
That way, when the servants come to call Xie Qinjian tomorrow morning and see that there is no one in the room, they will just think that he has gone out instead of rummaging through the drawers looking for the body.
Zhao Mingyue felt relieved, walked to the door, quietly opened it a crack, and looked outside first. There was no one in the yard.
It seems that Xie Qinjian has sent everyone away.
She dodged and left the place quickly.
However, if she looked back at this moment, she would find Liu Shen Ai sitting cross-legged on the roof behind her.
In front of her, a dark blue screen was floating, and lines of code quickly emerged.
————
In an unknown cave in Laoya Mountain, Song Yu opened his eyes in horror.
Recalling the moment of death just now, his whole soul trembled with pain, but soon he became angry.
The protagonist's body was actually killed by Zhao Mingyue!
Then his mission would be a complete failure. He spent so many points in this world, and they were all gone!
The level he had worked so hard to reach was now back down!
If he hadn't prepared a body in Laoya Mountain in advance, his soul would have been immediately expelled from the world!
When Song Yu thought about his heavy losses, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Being assassinated by the Cleaners is bad enough, but now even the heroine of the mission world can kill him. This is simply unforgivable.
He must kill Zhao Mingyue and vent his anger!
Song Yu stood up and walked out of the cave full of anger.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of nowhere in front of the cave.
"Long time no see, Lord God. No, I should call you player Song Yu now." The other party spoke in a low and dangerous voice.
